A/N: Read my new story Singing in the Moonlight. It's gotten a lot of alerts and reviews. :)

Disclamer: Characters belong to Stephenie Meyer and I got some ideas from Charmed, but the story idea and plot is all mine.

Chapter 7

Bella POV

"Oh,oh, pick me, Bellsy!" Emmett waved his around in air while jumping some one foot to the other.

"No."

"Why?" He asked putting his hand down and trying the puppy do look on me. Not gonna work buddy.

"Because you called her Bellsy." Kas explained. "She's doesn't like being given nicknames."

"Hypocrite." I raised my eyebrow at Edward when he said that. His eyes widened. "Shit! Did I say that out loud?"

I nodded. "Yeah, but you're right so I'll let you go first to make up for the nickname." He smiled and I continued talking before he got too happy. "That doesn't mean I won't do it again." His smile dropped a little, but grew again when I motioned with my hand for him to hurry up.

"Why are you stronger and faster than Emmett?"

"They're two of my powers. I actually got the the speed from Kas." I pointed to Kas who was now holding his hand.

"Really?" He turned his head so he could look at Kas who only nodded in answer. "By what I saw Bella's probably faster than both Alice and I. We'll have to race sometime." He looked at Alice at this last part and she simply nodded smiling from under my arm.

"Sure, but I'm not as fast as Bella." Kas admitted rubbing the back of his neck in embarrassment.

"Why?"

"Uh, uh, uh, bronzie you've already asked your two questions today and I believe I said only one a day." I stopped Kas from answering. "You can't ask any tomorrow."

"Emmett, can you use yours to ask?" He looked at his brother pleading with his eyes.

"No way, bro. Then I would have to wait until tomorrow to ask mine." Emmett shook his head.

"Rose?" He turned to his sister hoping to have better luck with her.

"What's in it for me?"

Before Edward could start bargaining the little pixie in my arms spoke up. "Oh, for pete's sake, I'll ask." She got out of my embrace enough to be able to look at Kas. "Why is Bella faster than you?"

"Well, the strength of our powers depends on how powerful we are. And as I'm sure you've noticed Bella is stronger than the rest of us." He looked at me when he finished answering. "She is our leader after all."

Jasper raised his hand like we were in a classroom and I was the teacher. I laughed. "What's your question Jasper?"

"What powers do y'all have?"

"Photographic reflexes." Luke started from beside him. "I can mimic any athletic or martial arts movement after seeing it once."

"Mind control." Ashanti went next. "The name is self explanatory."

"Conjuring." Bram said from Ashanti's side on the wall. "I can think of something and make it appear in my possession."

"Pyrokinesis." Wyatt stated busy playing with Emmett's fingers. "I can generate, control, and absorb fire."

"Animal morphing." Nerva said with with her head on Rosalie's lap while she played with her hair. "I can take on any animal's form."

"My original power is power mimicry/absorption, so I have all of those plus superhuman strength, molecular combustion," Instead of explaining I blew up a plant on the coffee table on froze the pieces, "unnaturally tough and durable skin, accelerated healing, probability manipulation, and photographic memory. Oh and all Warlocks can blink, which is the ability to go anywhere with the blink of our eyes." Wow that's a mouthful. I should just make a recording and play it whenever someone asked.

The vampires in the room gaped at me with their mouth's open. Even Alice had pulled back to just stare at me. "What?" I snapped annoyed. I didn't like being stared at, it made my skin crawl.

"Damn, Bella, you were holding back during our fight." Emmett finally spoke up.

"Well, duh, there's a law about killing another's bond. Him being my cousin would only make things worse." I spoke like it was obvious, but I guess to them it wasn't.

"Those are the only reasons you didn't kill me?" He asked looking hurt. I only nodded in response. "So, if I wasn't Wyatt's bond you'd have killed me?"

"Of course." His hurt look only intensified, so I tried to make him feel better. I felt like I'd kicked a puppy. A really big puppy, but a puppy nonetheless. "I haven't known you long enough. Maybe in time it will be a reason." He beamed at me seeming content with the possibility that I would like him enough in time to feel bad about killing him. He was a puzzling one.

"Can you answer my question now?" Rosalie asked making me look at her.

"Shoot."

"I was wondering what you meant by the rest of your eternal life. Are you immortal?" I knew she was really asking if Nerva was immortal. Nerva seemed to realize too, because she took the hand that wasn't brushing through her hair and squeezed.

"We all are." She raised an eyebrow silently telling me to explain. "We all cast a very powerful spell on our 18th birthdays that locked the spirits of fey in our bodies making us obtain some of their qualities. Immortality is one of them."

"That's fantastic!" Edward squealed, not joking he actually squealed. "Now we don't have to turn you."

"You couldn't if you tried." Luke scoffed.

"What do you mean?" The doc spoke up for the first time since the Q&A started.

"The magic in our blood is more powerful than your venom." He turned his body to cuddle into Jasper. It seemed everyone was in a cuddling mood today. "We would reject the change."

"But that's only the case for upper level magical beings." I decided to give the doc a little more info. "The weaker ones can still be changed."

"Fascinating." He started writing into a notebook I hadn't noticed before.

"So, ape-man, it looks like you're the last one." I looked in Emmett's direction while starting to rub circles on Alice's back making her purr.

"Why did you move to Forks?" Wow I thought he'd ask something about magic. Apparently everyone else did too, because they were all staring at him like he'd grown a second head.

"What?" He said noticing the stares. "I can ask a serious question." His pout disappeared as soon as Wyatt started rubbing his arm and kissed his cheek.

"Well," I started not knowing how they'd react to what I was about to tell them. "we're hibrizi, hybrids. Our dads are Warlocks and our mother's were Witches, so on our 18th birthday we had to choose between light and dark magic. To choose dark magic he had to kill an innocent using magic. The spell I told you we cast needed a family sacrifice, so we killed our mothers and put their bodies on a cruise ship we used magic to sink so the humans wouldn't suspect foul play."

"But that's just how we were able to come live with Charlie." Bram continued. "It's not the reason we needed to move here."

The room was silent as they digested the fact we were all murderers. "So, what is the reason?" Emmett asked bringing the others out of their shocked states. Alice who had stiffened now relaxed and crawled onto my lap.

My coven and I were confused that they weren't freaking out like others would. Then again they were Vampires that wanted to kill humans for their blood, so they weren't any better. Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth I answered his question. "We needed somewhere were we could plan to overthrow the Source, the ruler of the underworld, without him finding out. Little boring Forks seemed like the perfect town." Silence filled the room again as they tried to make sense of our plan.

Like last time Emmett was the one to brake the silence. "Can we help?"
