Chapter 8

Bella P.O.V

We were all hunting when I felt two other presences in my shield. I quickly got Josh and found the others.

"We're going to have company. Two vamps." I said.

Aaron and Brady had their mates slightly behind them as did Josh. Two people walked out of the woods, a male and female. They all had scars but we didn't get bothered by them. I had told them about Jaspers past and told them it just meant they were in the wars. Of course no one in the family knew that Jasper had told me.

"Hello, I'm Peter and this is my mate Charlotte. We mean you know harm." he said and it clicked in place.

"Do you know Jasper?" I asked.

"Well yes we do, how do you know them?" Charlotte asked.

That is how my day began. We all got introduced and when I knew it was safe I sent the rest back on our hunting trip so I could tell them my past. Josh took a lot of convincing, from all three of us but his eyes were the darkest and he needed to hunt. He finally, reluctantly, left and we all sat down on the ground.

"How do you know the Cullen's Bella?" Peter asked.

"I knew them when I was human." I said and started my tale.

I told them of my human family and Edward saving me many times. I told them how they left.

"You mean he just left you in the woods." Charlotte yelled.

"Yep, I thought all vampires were smart but I'm not so sure about him Charlotte." I said.

"Call me Char." she said with a smile.

I got back to my story. When I got to Jake I got a lot of growls out of them. Then I got to Victoria.

"Victoria, James mate, tortured me. She broke every bone in my body. My change took me thirteen days, not three." I said.

"T-thirteen d-days." they both stuttered.

"Yea, it hurt like hell. After three months I found Josh in the woods but I felt no bloodlust. I just had to change him." I said.

I told them about the purring and thinking but not knowing if we were soul mates.

"Two months after I changed Josh, he was on a hunting trip when he came across Aaron and Brady. They had been mauled by a bear and Josh smelled their blood. He changed them." I said.

I told him about them wanting to find their soul mates. How we found Katie and Sasha. How Brady and Aaron changed them.

"So that's it." I said.

"What are your powers?" Char asked.

"What's yours?" I asked back.

"I can see bonds and Peter just knows shit." Char said.

"You just know stuff?" I asked.

"I can't explain it. It's like a thought or something, I just know." he stated.

"Everyone in my coven has never ending newborn speed and strength." I stated.

"Wow! That's cool. Is that it?" Peter asked.

"That was passed on from me to them through venom. I'm a mental and physical shield and I can see others powers." I said.

"Why didn't you use your powers on us?" Peter asked.

"I saw that Char could see bonds but yours just says knows shit. Anyway, Joshua can teleport. Aaron is a mind reader, empathetic, and can project thoughts to others. Katie can change anyone's or anything's appearance. It works great you need to redecorate, she can just change it. Brady can control the four elements and Sasha can see bonds." I said.

"Powerful coven." Peter said.

"Your bonds are very close. Your coven's bond to their soul mates are the strongest I've ever seen. The brother and sister bond are the strongest I've ever seen too." Char said.

"Are the Cullen's why you drink animal blood?" Peter asked.

"No but it was nice to know I could. One thing, I couldn't stand contacts as a human let along a vampire and I would have had to wear them. Then I was glad I didn't when I met Josh and the rest of my coven. I wanted them to have a choice and if I drunk from humans they would follow me. I didn't want them to regret any choices." I said.

"That's makes since." Peter said.

"So it's your coven?" Char asked.

"Sort of. We all treat each others as equals but in situations like today, yea I kind of am." I said.

Over the next five months we all became family to each other. Peter and Char love our house and Char helped out at the daycare. She loves kids and they love her since of humor. At night we all hung out in our basement. Let me tell you, Peter is funny as hell if he gets drunk.

We call Peter and Char our brother and sister as they us. Sasha and Char each said we all have strong bonds that can never break.
