A/N: Again, sorry about all the confusion and so many new characters. I'll try push the Twilight characters in some more, though I'm kinda scared of using them because I don't know how to write them very well but I'll try. I was asked about the pairings by MinePlusYoursEqualsHarmony.
Beside the official Twilight couples they are : Leah/Nicole , Raymundo/Xander , Olivier/Alexia , Nicolas/Raven , and Jacob/Renesmee. Leah will have a happy ending but she'll have to earn it. Have any questions just ask. Think I'm over my head with this, say it.
This chapter actually has Leah and Nicole interacting and hints of Nicole's magic. At the end Olivier also explains a little about magic.
Chapter Five
The café was loud, and filled with teenagers and hormones. Leah took another bite of the food on her plate. Renesmee and Jacob eating with less stress. "Are you still sulking about that Leah?" Leah didn't look up at Renesmee's mocking smile. She had enough of it in the smug voice. "Hey, I'm sorry but-"
"No your not." Leah glared at Renesmee as the human-vampire giggled.
"Okay, I'm not." Renesmee giggled for a few more seconds. It was like mosquitoes flying around her ears to Leah. She needed to see more of Nicole, even thinking about the women annoyed her. "Everyone else was scared of you two. I know why their scared of you but I think Nicole made such a bad impression the first day everyone thinks she's insane." Leah flashed her teeth for a good second before turning her attention back to her breakfast. "If I went with you the other person that had Nicole would be scared or get her mad."
"Speak of the Devil." Jacob whispered, eyes on Nicole as she entered the café. "Here's your partner now."
"Hey Nessie." There was that soft French accent in that boyish voice.
"Hi Nicole." Renesmee smiled, sliding closer to Jacob making enough room for Nicole to sit by Leah. Leah flashed her teeth with Renesmee again. "So did you and Leah decide what your going to do for your project for English?"
"That's what we need to talk about." Nicole sighed, before looking at Leah. "Have any preference?"
"No." Leah barked the tight lip answer. Saying the minimum just like yesterday. Leah's eyes widen when a russet hand took her biscuit. Her head snapped to Nicole who only took a bite out of it with a smirk.
"Now that I have your attention." Nicole paused, taking another bite. Leah snarled slightly. She felt her arm tingle as she wanted to punch the young women. "How about we do a scene from Romeo and Juliet?"
"No!"
"But I thought you didn't have any preference?" Nicole took another bite of her biscuit. The smirk on her face was just begging to be punched.
"And yours are?"
"A lot like you."
"Oh my god!" Leah realized what she was doing when Renesmee gasped. She saw her milk slowly poured onto Nicole's head. A bunch of gasped filled the café, students staring at the two. She could see Nicole's sea green eyes wide as she just froze.
"Wow…" Raymundo breathed. "I like her. I really like her."
"I don't think she likes Niki, though…" Xander whispered.
THACK! More gasp filled the air as Leah stumbled back. Her jaw hurt. Actually throbbed by the human's punch. Suddenly she didn't hear the "Fight! Fight! Fight!" chanting of the student body. Rushing water and crashing waved filled her ears. When Leah's head snapped back to Nicole she was barely shoved back a feet. She was surprised that she even moved at all.
"You idiot! Get you mind out of the porn movie!!" Nicole screamed. Her face was so red it glowed through russet skin. The glint in her eyes was dangerous and it sent Leah chills. "If I wanted a girl like you, I would be dating Monica! If you haven't noticed your a lot like my siblings!" With a rough sigh Nicole turned around, walking to the hallway with the Vasvi Pride following.
Leah stepped forward, the need pushing her but Jacob grabbed her arm before she took three steps. The water in her ears slowly calmed down. Her heaving chest slowed down to long huffs. The death chill turned warm again as her body temperature returned to her.
"Leah." Jacob's voice held that alpha command she was all to familiar with. "What was that about?"
"You were here." Leah scoffed, pulling her arm out of the inhuman grip. "You should know." Suddenly a slightly colder and smaller hand grabbed her arm.
"Jake. Me and Leah will see you at class." Renesmee said, gently pulling the wolf away.
"What!?" Both wolves barked.
"We need to apologize to Nicole." Leah huffed, trying to pull her grip out but even halve vampires are stronger than wolves. Renesmee wasn't letting up unless she wanted it too. Renesemee didn't speak again until they were out of the buzzing café. "Honestly, I know you wolves are short tempered but-"
"It was better than shifting or punching her." Leah interrupted. Renesmee only sighed, taking a deep breath and following their odd forest sent.
"Niki!" They heard Raymundo's voice in the halls. "How's your hand?"
"Broken!" Renesmee winced at the harsh bark. Her brown eyes shot glares over her shoulder.
"She punched me." Leah glared right back. "That was her fault." They walked towards the bathroom, Renesmee taking shallower and shallower breaths with each steps. Leah could just start to smell the bathrooms. The human-vampire turning to her hearing. Five heartbeats, all faster than usual and the sound of running water.
"Goddess…" Nicole hissed, barely audible with the sound of running water. She stood bent over the sink, right hand washing the milk out of her hair. Left hand under the cold water in another sink. "Is it really broken?" Monica picked up the red swollen hand, pressing on the knuckles. "Ah!" She hissed, pulling her hand away. "I asked for you to check not pain!"
"Does it really matter, puppycat?" Monica rolled her eyes. "It'll heal like new no matter what."
"Yes! It does matter." Nicole growled shoving her hand back under the water. "I need to get Father to check it when we get home…"
"What are you doing here?!" Raymundo's voice boomed into the girl's bathroom. Nicole jerked, head slamming into the faucet.
"Ow.. Kill the Goddess!" Nicole hissed, pulling her head away from the sink and holding it. Her hands roughly brushed against the bruise from the tray a few days earlier.
"Um…No." Renesmee's calm voice cooed, "Leah wants to apologize."
"No I don't."
"Leah!"
"Nicole. Come out, I want to talk."
"Fine." Nicole huffed and glanced at her blurry reflection. Her eyes quickly dulled of the energy as she slid her glasses on. Nicole stepped out off the bathroom, immediately turning her back to Leah and Renesmee. "I'm out and your free to talk to the wall."
"Not what I meant!" When Leah stepped forward Monica and Xander stepped in front of her. Leah's body shook, tensing as she glared at the two.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Nicole drawled, the most heavy sarcasm used she almost sounded dead. "Because apparently I'm misunderstanding everything!!" Her voice raised sharply, spinning on her heels so fast it almost look inhuman. Nicole pushed both Monica and Xander to the side, taking a step closer to Leah. "We're both adults." She smirked, showing a bit too much teeth. "We'll talk."
"I'm not apologizing."
"Neither am I."
Nicole and Leah both scowled, glaring at each other. Nicole let out a rough sigh, turning around with a more relax walk. "We both agree nothing romantic for the project?"
"No romance." Leah agreed, giving the Vasvi Pride a few steps before following them into class. As soon as Nicole stepped in the gossiping students hushed, all staring at the girl as she took her seat.
"Oh my!" Alice gasped, noticing the bruised knuckles before she sat down. "Niki! What happen? And why are you wet?"
"Leah dumped milk on my. I punched her and I think broke my hand. Washed the milk out of my hair in the bathroom. The end." Nicole answered. She held out her hand to Alice. "Does it look that bad?" In the minutes that past the knuckles swelled and started to turn red.
"It looks horrible!!" Alice stated. She reached out to touch but quickly withdrew her hand instead. "You really need to go to the nurse."
"And get in trouble? No." Nicole scoffed pulling her hand back. "It's not like I'll die. Don't worry about it."
Alice blinked, head tilting slightly. "Are you sure? And your just letting it go?"
"Yes. I'm sure." Nicole nodded. "We are both mature young women- and as much as I'd like to soak her head in a used toilet." Leah's body tensed, breath slightly ragged in that instant. "I won't."
"Because it's the wrong thing to do?" Jacob questioned.
"Pfft! No!" Nicole laughed, holding her stomach. "Because Leah like a giant rock and there's literally no way I can do that!"
"And she's laughing…" Bella whispered to Edward. "Does she actually find that funny?"
"Jasper seems to think so." Edward answered, hugging his wife closer. Bella glanced over her shoulder, Jasper staring intensely at the chuckling Nicole.
"I'm surprised her hand isn't broken." Bella whispered back. "I still remember how much it hurt after I punched Jake."
"She's obviously a conditioned fighter." Edward smirked, "Not like you."
Nicole walked into English. Five minutes late and shoving the note in the teacher's face. All the while staring at her hand. Swelling went down slightly but it turned even more purple. Very dark and gross purple. She took her seat by her partner and Renesmee. Nessie immediately scooted closer. "What did the nurse say?"
"Who said anything about a nurse?" Nicole whispered softly with a smirk. The smirk faltered as pain shot through her left arm, no matter how gently she placed the bag of ice on her knuckles.
"Then what about the note?"
"Magic." Renesmee could see her frown in the twinkling sea green eyes. "And a very artistic sister." With a light chuckle Nicole leaned back. Her eyes drifted down to her left hand. "I think it's just a bruise." Her fingers twitched slightly and she hissed as they curled into a fist. "Most likely a bruise."
"You should really get that checked."
"My father's a doctor." Nicole smiled at Renesmee's worry. "I'll ask him to look at it when he gets home." With that she turned to her partner before Nessie could say anything else. That smile faded, scowling and glaring back at Leah who was already staring a bit too intensely.
"Now that we are forced to talk face to face and I calmed down slightly." Nicole hissed voice dropping down to almost a whisper. "Why'd you think I was interested in you like that?" Nicole only glared back at the face giving her 'Are you stupid' look. Her right fist curled, only to loosen when her left hand started throbbing.
"Your gay, aren't you?"
"Romance. Sex. Sex. Romance. Sex. Sex. Sex. That's all kids think about. And I wonder why this world is messed up and over populated." Nicole ranted. With a deep breath she looked back at Leah, her eyes still tense as she glared. "Just because I'm gay doesn't mean I'll go out with anything with breast and a vagina. Just because I'm single doesn't mean I'll be staring at every women like a piece of meat-"
"Yes, I get it." Leah interrupted. "Your not like normal people." Nicole's lips twitched up into a smile and she chuckled slightly.
"My family isn't normal. That's why I prefer people like you." Nicole stated, relaxing enough to rest her head in her right hand. "So you don't hate me because of my tattoo or because I'm homosexual?"
"No." Leah stared at Nicole. "I'm bi. I don't like bipolar people." This immediately had Nicole sitting straight, eyes narrowed as confusion waved off her face.
"What? I'm not bipol –Never mind." Her voice started stern but quickly died out. "I don't want to start another fight. I only have my right hand left." Her sea green eyes shifted to her left hand and to Leah's jaw. She frowned noticing the victorious smirk on her lips. "That seriously didn't hurt?"
"It did for a little while. I was more surprise than anything else." Leah touched her jaw. The pain faded as soon as Renesmee dragged her to the bathroom. When Nicole's mouth open again Leah cut her off with her own question. "So the project?"
"I really want to get the teacher mad by mocking a classic." Nicole smiled like an innocent deviant. "Everyone says Romeo and Juliet is a classic about true love when they are just obsessed teenagers with lust at an all time high. Or rewrite a scene from Macbeth into something more modern."
Leah stared, blinking as she thought about the two possibilities. "I didn't know you're a bookworm."
"A lot of people don't." Nicole huffed, her eyes widen. "Oh!" She sat straight and excited. "We can do it about magic."
"Magic?" Leah's eyes narrowed in superstition. "There's no such thing as magic."
"Fine. Card tricks and illusions." Nicole corrected with a roll of her eyes. "We need to do a presentation and an essay right?"
"And what's the essay going to be about?"
Nicole shrugged, "History of magic. Why people are so amazed by it. The definition of magic, how they do it." She listed down the possibilities. "I'll go with the second one. As a magician myself I don't want to expose others tricks."
"Show me a card trick." That deviant smile grew into something else. The twinkle in her eyes shinning a bit more. Nicole's cards were on the table the next second.
In a neat ribbon sweep, she laid the cards out before Leah. "Choose." Leah pulled out the Queen of Spades. Nicole scoped the cards and stacked them in a messy deck, facing up.
"Put the card on the deck, facing up." Leah did just that. Nicole slapped the deck with the palm of her hand, she looked at Leah, smile growing slightly bigger. In a second she laid the cards out again, all the Queen of Spades. Leah's heart pounded harder for a second. She stared harder at Nicole remembering the witch from the Full Moon.
Nicole groaned, picking up her cards. "What did I do to get you mad this time?" Leah tried to get her face to relax, but her eyebrows seemed stuck from all the glaring.
"I'm not mad." Leah said, but her voice stayed tight.
"Then that's a unique surprise face." Nicole muttered. She winced, the pain in her left hand returning when she tried to shuffle the deck. "I think we should do this at your house." Nicole added. She thought about Olivier yelling at her for bringing a human over and the two vampires. "As I said before, my family isn't normal and aren't social butterflies like Nessie."
"I heard that."
Abigail walked into the study taking up the second floor of the mansion. She sipped the mug full of blood as swirled the quarter full flask. "This taste different..." Abigail stared into her blood. She shrugged, turning to Olivier's study.
Knock. Knock. Knock. Olivier growled, nails clawing into her desk.
"Abigail!! For once can you leave me alone!!" Her voice roared in her study. "The pups are at school. Nicolas is at work –Find a job!!"
"Bitch." Olivier 's grip on the desk splintered the wood. The vampire forgetting about her own enhanced senses or just getting her worked up again. "You don't want us drawing attention so I can't really get a job can I!!" With a hard twist the doorknob turned and door flung open. There Abigail stood, Alexia's flask held to her face. "This is the Memory Stimulant Potion right?"
"No, it's green. Not purple." Olivier's brows narrowed, "That's the Memory Depressant Potion. Did you drink it?"
"Yeah." Abigail nodded, "The other one help the blood taste like wine. And I miss my alcohol."
Olivier sighed, rubbing her eyes. "You are not suppose to drink Alexia's potions. Because of humans are killing the earth and poisoning the planet every recorded spell and potion is outdated and have different effects than previously thought. The mages must discover new ways for every spell and potion because of this." Olivier looked up, growling to herself to find the vampire gone. "Abigail?"
"ABIGAIL NO!!"
Boom! Olivier jumped out of her chair, looking around the study as books and shelves stopped shaking.
"OLIVIA GET DOWN HERE!!" Olivier sighed, walking out of the study.
"Olivier. Olivier. Olivier." The werewolf growled under her breath. "Not Olivia. Why is that so hard?"
"ABI IS DRUNK!!"
"What?!" Olivier growled, running down the stairs and jumping to the first floor of the mansion. She felt a rush of air blowing her hair forward and turned around to Raven. Hair ruin, and smoke covered her body. "Was that a grenade?" Raven's jaw clenched together, her ice blue eyes blazing.
"Yes."
"Where is Abigail now?"
"I don't know." Another tight lip answer. "She teleported out of the basement."
"We have a teleporting drunk vampire loose?"
"Olivia! Why are you this slow! Did you drink-!"
"Silence! We need to find her!"
"Die you cursed animal!!" Olivier turned fast enough to have her own sword slashed at her abdomen. Olivier flew back into the stairs, wood splintering from the push and tough body. Olivier looked up, gazing at the painful face of Abigail. She couldn't crying but her face was distorted like she was. Ice blue eyes shivering in pain. "Rea…" The voice was utterly heartbroken and quivering.
"Abigail." Raven spoke softly, hands raised and ready for action. "Calm down…"
"R-Rea…" Abigail hiccuped. The sword dropped into the ground and her head into her hands. "You even choose that filthy creature before ME!! F-f-fist that maa-an now -He-Her!"
"What!?" The women both looked at each other. Olivier quickly raising to her feet as she held her bleeding wound.
"No, no. Abi." Raven talked again with the sweet cooing voice like Abigail was a newborn child. "Olivier has Alexia-"
"And you guys a-a-are going to break her hea-rt!" Abigail wailed into her hands. "Eve-Ever since those mutts came they- Our family's ruin!!" Abigail cried louder. Raven and Olivier wincing from the volume. "YOU!!" They stepped back, the bloodstain sword back in Abigail's hand. "I'm going to K-kill you for ruining our family!!"
Olivier's eyes followed Raven's lunge and her flight through the wall when Abigail threw her. Olivier moved, her body ready to shift when pain broke her concentration. The sword was under her right breast and suddenly in the air. Olivier couldn't feel her arm as it tilted away from her body, blood exploding onto the side of her face and clothes. "AAHH!!"
Raven charged into the room, tackling Abigail away from Olivier when she suddenly disappeared. Raven quickly regain her balance and turn to the front door when they slammed open. She turned back to Olivier who was pressing her arm back together to her torso. Tears stream down her face as she snarled curses in German.
"What the hell are you doing!?" Olivier roared. Her body tensed in pain as she curled slightly from it. "Go after her! I'll heal in a few minutes."
"Few my ass…" Raven scoffed, turning and dashing out the doors before they closed. "Don't fall asleep!!" Olivier huffed, head falling back onto the stairs. Olivier could feel the pain flowing back into her right arm, her body shaking from shock.
"I'm too getting to old for this."
