I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT

Avaria and Caro

Jasper was at her side before I had time to turn toward. I ran to her and sat next Jasper. She was writhing with pure agony. Jasper was radiating agony, probably due to his empathic abilities. Everyone was freaking out, trying to figure out what to do. I concentrate my sense to see colors since that dulled my hearing abilities and I really needed that now. I noticed a faint red surrounding her body. I didn't point it out; I knew no one else would see it. I had learned long ago how to tell when I sensed something no one else could.

Suddenly there was a boom that disoriented everything except for my mind's eye. I could sense that 2 women were walking in the field. My sense of colors was still there, I can't imagine how much that boom would have hurt had I not already been taking focus off of my hearing. Both were had slim builds. One was tall dressed in all black, with cut off sleeves and black flat soft leather boots and hair and eyes that matched her clothes, only her skin kept her from being a shadow. It was white, with hints of a brown tan. She radiated hatred and anger without even trying. The other woman was shorter and had a slightly kinder look, with a regular jean and tee shirt combo. Both of them had identical tattoos on their right for arms, a red fire design wrapped in a half circle.

I had barely registered their looked when my concentration shattered. I could sense everything, but it was all color undefined. I silently waited for my other senses to come back, signaling that the effects of the boom had faded. The girls were right in front of us by the time I could hear again. By the others surprise I could tell that the boom had blinded them, which would make it seem as though these women had appeared right in front of us.

"Hello." The tall women said.

"Hello. May I ask you names?" Carlisle said. I wanted to applaud his ability to be so flawlessly polite even though he was obviously surprised.

"My name is Avaria and this is Caro." Avaria said.

"What brings you to the forest at this early hour?" Carlisle asked.

"We came to speak with you." Avaria replied.

"About what?" Carlisle said.

"Oh Avaria, don't make them drag it out of you word by word." Caro chided.

"I wasn't. I was speaking in full sentences."

"Avaria." Caro's voice was laced with threats.

The other women sighed. Avaria's gaze suddenly fell on me.

"You should get that human home before she drops dead from exhaustion. Then we will talk."

"I'll take her." Edward offered and walked toward me and was about to pick me up when Avaria's voice stopped him.

"No. The wolf can take her home." She jerked her chin toward Jacob. "He should leave as well."

"How did you know I was a-"

Avaria interrupted him. "If I want to give you an explanation, I will. I do not so I will not."

"Ok." Jacob picked me up. I looked at Edward, wanting to be in his arms, not Jacob's. He looked as though he wanted the same thing.

I fell asleep on the way home.
