Chapter Two

After the first day of living with the coven, I learned their names and powers. Edmund, the leader could be rather convincing when he needed to. His mate, Aida, was blonde haired and a year younger than him in human years. She had been a life guard in her human life, so her power was being extremely helpful. The seven others had been changed when they were around my age, so we got along perfectly.

First, there was Hunter; the tall, blonde, physically fit maniac who insisted that he could get me to be a better athlete. Which, of course, is a complete and utter lie at the beginning. Hope, a girl with light brown hair and strands of blonde, was extremely cheerful. Like her namesake, her power was to be able to give comfort and hope to those who had none. Chantal was blonde haired girl from France, her power was obviously her looks; fashion suited her. Trey was the daredevil. With black hair and a kind face, you would least expect him to be behind all the trouble, but that was his power, being a troublemaker. Sparrow had brown hair that was usually swept back into a ponytail. Her power was being able to 'talk' to animals, and was rather useful on hunts. Chase was brown haired and extremely aware of his surroundings; he usually could tell when something dangerous was about to come our way. Will, who was also brown haired, had a knack for hacking into whatever piece of technology he felt like it.

When I first told them that I was no longer Isabella Swan, they accepted it and gave me another name: Karma Siege. Then, under the supervision of Chantal and Hope, I cut my hair and dyed it a darker brown, transforming my appearance slightly. Chantal got me a whole wardrobe of designer clothes, but insisted on picking out my outfits. The house that my new coven lived in was old and spacious. Embedded deep in the woods, the house was far enough from civilization for us to be ourselves without disturbances. Woods surrounded the bright meadow it was in, the horizon being framed by trees and escalading mountains, and towards the west was a river that ran cheerfully through the forest. In other words, it was a vampire's ultimate playground.

"Karma?" Hope asked, her head peeping into my room. I looked up from my thoughts.

"Yeah?" I asked, curious as to what she wanted. She came in and sat on my soft downy comforter. Folding her legs in, she tilted her head and smiled.

"We're going hunting soon. Are you ready?"

"Yep." A malicious smile spread across my face. I had been with Edmund's coven for three years now, during the time of which I learned why I had that strange dream of Edward and the Cullens never existing. While I was changing, Hope had sent words meant to comfort me; such as mother, father, family, friends, home, love, and happiness. My eccentric imagination, however, had taken the words and formed them into a terrible nightmare. Which turned out to be one of my powers; my imagination could make almost anything I wanted real. Anyway, over the past three years I have been built into a stronger vampire, due to the efforts of Hunter. I was taught how to properly defend myself and grew stronger and faster than your average vamp. I guess his lessons were not taught in vain, then.

We rushed down the winding staircase and out the back door onto the marble balcony with stairs that led to the backyard. Sparrow was facing the woods, deep in focus. Trey, Chase, Will, and Hunter leaned against the side wall in wait. Chantal and Aida sat on the steps quietly, their eyes hungry. Edmund stood in the center, his hands shoved in his pockets of his leather jacket, waiting for the signal. Edmund spoke first. "Do we have a lead?" He asked Sparrow.

She turned around slowly, a grin spread across her face. "Five deer grazing in the meadow five miles north of here. To the west with have a black bear by the river bank, eight miles. Mountain lion ten miles north in the mountainside. And last but not least small herd of caribou eleven miles north east."

Edmund nodded and turned to face us. "Caribou, anyone?" He questioned. We grinned in response. Running off the balcony and heading for the direction Sparrow had sent us, the hunt began.

Okay, so maybe I didn't get into as much detail as I would've liked to, but hey, it's really hard to do that sort of thing when you have three years of information to cover. Thanks so much for the reviews! For a second there, I thought that I was writing really lamely because it's been so long. Oh yeah, before I forget, there are two things I couldn't quite place in the story.

The coven is originally from England, and yes they still have their accents. They found Bella dying (no one knows how or why, and comes to be a problem later on in the story) a few days after they arrived. They changed her, brought her home with them, and did everything they could to make her comfortable.

Soon, maybe in a few minutes, I'm going to put some pictures that I found on the Internet. The pics are supposed to represent the coven's house, but there are some exceptions.

appear in the near future. I'm working on the chapters where that happens right now Once again, thank you for the reviews. And, just as a heads up, the Cullens shall.
