Angels (A Seth Clearwater Love Story)

Recap

"Welcome my friends, it is good to see all your smiling faces," Aro said cheerfully. No one was smiling. "You probably are wondering why we have called you here, you see over the past hundred years it has become painfully obvious that the world is changing." Everyone tensed as Aro continued his speech "You see, a thousand years ago Vampires and Humans were the only prominent species, but now our world is much more diverse. There are vampires, humans, shape shifters, werewolves, and the newest species I have learned about, angels. And now I know for sure, that The Volturi cannot keep the peace alone. So at this meeting I would like to make a very important announcement, one that will change your lives, maybe for the better, perhaps not. I would like to announce that; I, Caius, and Marcus are… retiring and forming a new council, made up of representatives from every species. One that can effectively govern over you all and we have decided that it is all of you who should choose who should be in the new council."

End Recap

Commotion erupted through the entire room. People began to argue on just about everything a person could imagine. The Cullens could see there was no way they could all get along, they were all too different. No one was going to stop to discuss things in a civilized matter; everyone was too absorbed with their own goals to think about the bigger picture. That is, until a certain shape shifter found a way to stand on one of the Volturi's thrones.

"Hey!" Seth shouted over the clamor of people, "Shut Up!" No one seemed to be listening to him; luckily he had an angel to guide him. It took only a moment, only a little power and no one in the room could hear anything, not each other or their own words. The only thing they could hear was Seth. "Arguing and fighting isn't going to get us anywhere," Seth continued, now that he had the attention of the room focused only on him, "The Volturi are right, we need to compromise."

"And what do you know about compromise, pup?" One werewolf asked as Selene's silence wore off.

"A lot. I was taught to believe that vampires were evil, dangerous, cruel creatures of darkness, whose sole purpose was to kill and hurt humans. But in the last fifteen years I have come to learn different. I know a lot about compromise, considering I was the first of my pack to welcome our vampire brothers as family. You see, this isn't about whether you're a vampire, or a werewolf, or a shape shifter, or an angel, or whatever other creatures exist on our planet. Its about being people, because that's what we all are," Seth said as Melanie spun webs of understanding into the hearts of the guests, she was after all a master of all senses and her domain included the mind and heart, "We aren't as different as we believe. Werewolves, don't you love, don't you have family and friends?" There were whispers and agreements from the werewolves. "And Carlisle, don't you love Esme? Don't you consider Edward, Bella, Jasper, Alice, Rosalie, Emmett, and Nessie your family?" Seth asked, desperate to get his message through.

"I do," Carlisle said with confidence.

"Nathaniel? Don't you care about someone? Don't you have someone you wish you could have a family with?" Seth asked, encouraging the angel to speak. His eyes scanned the crowd and landed on Leah.

"Yes," He answered sincerely, "There is."

"I can tell you for a fact that my pack is like my family and that's what trying to say. We're all people, we love, we hate, and we are greedy and generous. We have feelings and lives and acting this ways, discriminating against each other because of our species or based on what another has done… it almost like… we're… well… human," Seth finished as laughter erupted through the room. People began to shout agreements.

"Well then, I don't know about you but I think we have a nomination for one of the shape shifter representatives," Melanie purred slyly as she came up behind Seth and put her hands on his shoulders. Seth's eyes went wide and he stared at Melanie in horror.

"I don't want… I mean I… I was just trying to…" Seth stuttered, having no idea what to say.

"You just single handedly stopped a room of mortal enemies from tearing each other's heads off, I think that's a sign love," Melanie said with a nod, earning shouts of consent from other members of the party. "Now I think we should have maybe two or three representatives per species that would make twelve people in all, a good number. The rest of you can decide amongst yourselves how you want to go about 'electing' your representatives or whatever you want to do," Melanie offered with a wave of her hand, which everyone seemed to like. Species began to break off and debate amongst themselves about how they wanted to elected leaders and how long and who.

The shape shifters didn't have too much to decide, there weren't many of them and the pack was happy to bully Seth into taking one of the positions. They ended up picking a shape shifter named David for the other spot. He was a dark grey almost black shape shifter who was the best with people, after Seth. He was unlike Seth in the way that the pack knew he could be rip you throat out tough with whoever else was in this 'council' if the need should arise. They decided that shape shifters could serve for life unless the pack decided that they should be removed and that the members of the council were above alpha orders, thought they were encouraged to listen to the alphas when requested to.

The vampires had more of a problem, they kept debating on who was the best for the position. There was an overwhelming vote for Carlisle, but he seemed reluctant to leave his career in medicine. Nomads weren't too concerned with the people who were chosen since it wouldn't really change their lives too much. Somehow Eleazar's name was thrown into the bunch. He was a former member of the Volturi so he knew how to run things not to mention his ability to tell what others powers were would give him an advantage. Most of the vampires trusted and respect Eleazar and the majority voted toward him. He seemed flattered by the proposition and accepted. Now that left one more person to choose. Carlisle was the one to enter Siobhan of the Irish coven into the mix. She, of course, was really mad at him. But he insisted that her 'power' to alter the course of things by deciding it so would help quite a lot. She, of course, went on to say she had no such power but it was too late the vampires already had their hearts set on having her for the council. The vampire chose to let their council members serve for a hundred years and then the population could chose new members.

The angels were slower to decide. There were few angels and each of them was as qualified as the next. Selene and Leo weren't in the running since they were half vampire and that would give the vampires an unfair advantage, at least that's what the werewolves believed. They ended up forcing Nathaniel into one of the slots, along with Melanie, who had volunteered happily. The werewolves had chosen a female named Dawn and a male named Christopher as their representatives.

The council had then had to decide where to meet and when. They decided to meet at least once a month in England, a middle ground between all the lands. They had executive decision over all others and the Volturi guard were assigned to protect them if a threat was placed against their lives. And that was how the entire government system of the immortal creatures of Earth reformed. It took some time for people to adjust but after a while people had begun to adjust. There had been some scraps here and there but people, all together, had gotten along. Selene's family had come down to visit since Selene had decided to live in La Push with Seth. It was then in front of everyone that Seth had asked Selene to marry him. And she said yes.

Six Months Later.

Selene stood in her room in Italy, the sea breeze blew in her window and she could feel butterflies fluttering around in her stomach. A tiny little pixie haired vampire, a dark haired and equally tiny female member of the Volturi guard, and a yellowed hair female angel with a smile that could light up the whole sky skipped about the room, pinning and primping and preparing the dark haired angel for her special day.

"I'm nervous," Selene murmured.

"Don't be, he loves you. I know it," Alice said sternly as she finished curling Selene's dark hair and pinning it to one side. After many more encouraging words from her bride's maids and mother Selene got up the courage to look in the mirror. She was wearing a white wedding dress with a fitted beaded lace and draped bodice that flared out at the waist with a train that was about four feet long from her waist. The dress clung to her slender form and accented her thin waist. The tiara glittered in her hair and held a thin veil behind her head. Her makeup was light and soft, merely there to bring out here already beautiful looks.

Alice whispered in her ear, telling her that it was time and ushered her out the door. Melanie and Alice had decorated the staircase, and gardens, and well… the whole house, with beautiful white roses, candles, and hundreds of other trinket and doodads that glittered in the sun. As Selene walked out into the main garden, she stepped out onto a pathway lined with white flowers. White chairs were set up by the hundred in front of her and everyone was turned to gaze at her. As she stepped forward familiar faces greeted her with warm smiles. Her father looked ready to kill someone and happy at the same time as he took her arm to lead her… if that was possible. The Cullens sat in the front with the rest of the pack, Emily in tears. Leo sat besides Sam and Emily's daughter, Natasha, with an arm thrown around her shoulder, something Sam didn't seem to happy about. Nathaniel sat with Leah, holding her hand. He had finally told her the truth, after much encouraging from just about everyone and a threat from Selene's mother. And at the altar was the person she was most looking forward to seeing. Seth stood there, bug eyed as he gazed at her. She reached him and slipped her hand into his and smiled at her and leaned in to whisper.

"I Love You"

Selene smiled her most beautiful smile just for him. She was so happy. She could never have imagined that the day she went to hunt down that Nathaniel, she would find love and so much more. She never could have dreamed up a more perfect ending.

Preview of Eternity is Forever (A Jasper Hale Love Story):

3 years after Nessie was born, The Cullens have moved, now they live in Prince Rupert, British Columbia in Canada, The city in Canada with the most rain and the least sun. Seems perfect right? But it seems another family lives there too and some members seem less then pleased to have them living there. will they clash? and who is this Hayley? A human or not? Because she sure doesn't seem human, but blood doesn't lie…right… or maybe it just doesn't tell the whole truth. Whatever she is the question really is, can she teach Jasper the control he so yearns for? After all control is her specialty. Jasper x OC. post-breaking dawn.
