Hello everyone!

Been having trouble with all the laptops in the house, so this is a little later than I would have hoped but here it is!

As the two cars pulled up into drive, the Cullen 'children' dashed to where the parents stood on the porch. Carlisle smiled at them as they all received a kiss on the check from Esme and then turned to scrutinise the new vampire as he stepped out of the E-type Jaguar (which he secretly hoped he would be allowed to go in) as he glided to the other side of the car to open the door for the petite red hair to appear at his side.

"Oh she's beautiful" Esme whispered to him as the two approached which he nodded his agreement and smiled at the two as the came to a stop in front of him.

Alice skipped in front of the pair and smiled happily "Esme, Carlisle this is Flynn O'Brien and Nicola Flemming who prefers to be known as Nyx." As she introduced them they bowed gently in their direction.

Carlisle gave them a stunning smile "as leader of this coven I welcome you to our home, if you would like to follow me to our living room, we can make ourselves more comfortable." They all walked into the front room and seated themselves down the couples taking the loveseats and Edward taking an armchair and Flynn taking the other with Nyx sat on the arm.

"would like anything to drink before we start Miss Flemming?" Esme asked politely to which Nyx giggle.

"Nicola or Nyx is fine and if you own any tea, I would be delighted to partake in some." She answered and Esme nodded and went into the kitchen to boil the kettle.

As the cup of tea was placed in Nyx's hands, Carlisle coughed gently and they all turned towards him "now my children told me, you had something to discuss with me?"

Flynn nodded, stiffening slightly as he did so only to have a gentle hand caress his hair soothingly as Nyx smiled down at him encouragingly making him relax, though he didn't make a move to speak so Nyx did "I met Flynn around 6 years ago in Belfast completely by accident as I am a Dublin girl myself" she stated sipping her tea slowly "when I met him he was being attacked by a rogue group of Vamps, so I stepped in…" Esme gasped I shock but Nyx waved off this concern "I have been with Vamps and Shifters before I met Flynn so it was easy however when he seemingly stuck himself to my side I noticed a slight problem."

"A problem?" Jasper questioned, Nyx nodded stroking Flynn's head again which now rested in her lap (much to Edwards chagrin the Cullens noticed.)

"Flynn cannot drink the blood of living creatures without getting ill before we met he was taking blood from the corpses left from others of your kin." She continued.

Carlisle raised an eyebrow "How intriguing, did you find a solution to this problem?"

Nyx laughed nervously scratching her cheek gently as Flynn let loose a lazy chuckle and spoke for the first time that afternoon "My Nyx is quite light fingered being the Alley cat that she is, it was easy for her to liberate places of their human blood supplies to keep me hydrated."

"You stole blood?" Jasper asked intrigued

Nyx nodded "I also hunted animals such as foxes and the occasional deer and drained and cooled the blood for him, it has been interesting though I do wish to help him recover if possible and since Mr Cullen is a doctor we wondered if you would be able to help in anyway."

Carlisle nodded "I'd love to help if possible however this might have to wait as we are facing our own problems at the moment."

"Problems?" Flynn asked eyes narrowing in confusion.

Emmett nodded "Last month we took Edward's human ex-girlfriend with us to play Baseball however during our game we were interrupted by a vampire trio, one of which took a fancy to Bella and we think he maybe hunting her."

Flynn nodded his understanding and then buried his head further into his red headed friends lap, making Edward growl silently, Nyx petted his head softly before brightening "If we help you rid yourselves of your problem, you can help Flynn."

"Help?" questioned Alice.

Nyx nodded "I am sure I can rope Hugh into helping you as well" which made Flynn grunt in distaste, earning him a light tap on the head.

Rosalie's eyes narrowed "who is Hugh?" she asked.

"Hugh is Nyx's shifter stalker" Flynn grumbled, making the others stiffen.

Nyx sighed deeply at this "as long as he stays off your turf its fine is it not? By the sound of it you need all the help you can get."

Carlisle chuckled humourlessly "well that is true, we will accept your help…" he then trailed off, thinking slightly then asked "Flynn do you have any gifts?"

Flynn nodded "I can negate any other vampire's gift and include other people I know into my 'shield', such as Nyx and Hugh… I can also allow vampires in or out of my shield depending on whether I trust them."

"Wow that's quite the gift!" Emmett said boisterously "Is that why Edward couldn't read your thoughts or Nyx's for that matter"

"Exactly" Flynn said whilst standing up and stretching, looking out the window he then turned to his companion "we should go home, it's getting late." Nyx agreed, handing her cup to Esme whilst thanking her.

Edward then perked up slightly as they went to walk out the house "what are you going to dol about the blood tests next week?" he asked.

"Ah well, I will probably go hunting, to stock up on 'food' for Flynn with him as I can tell Mr Banner my type already, though it will mean missing a day…"

Carlisle then frowned "we can't have that we will look after Flynn and his nutrition needs for you next week Nyx, there isn't any need to worry about it."

Flynn nodded his acceptance "well if that is everything, Goodnight to you all"

Nyx smile "G'night Everyone" she called over her shoulder as they walk to the car and drove off.

Edward smiled and whispered "Goodnight" softly to the air.

End

Well what did you think!? Was it okay?

The La Push will turn up next week and we will have the Cullen's thought on Flynn and Nyx and maybe some rivalry between old and new love interests…

Now Good Bye my darlings! xxx
