Chapter 5: Secret Revealed
Arianna almost fell forward when she felt someone pushed her. She tried to balance herself but failed when, once again, someone bumped into her. Arianna groaned as she fell onto the floor, earning some snickers from the girls. Her bag fell beside her, emptying is content. Arianna took her bag and tried to gather her books. A very pale hand grabbed some of her books and put them in front of her. Arianna looked up. Her dark blue eyes met a pair of topaz eyes of Edward Cullen.
"Here" Arianna took her bag quickly and turned around after mumbled 'thank you'.
"Wait, I am Edward Cullen. You're one of new students and in one of my class but I haven't introduced myself to you" He said.
Edward placed a friendly smile on his pale face when the girl turned around and eyed him suspiciously. Edward tried to appear as friendly as he could. He had to make sure he acted like a normal teenager around the new student. If he could get closer enough with one of them, he could get information about whether or not they have discovered about the Cullen being vampire and what kind of mythical creature the new students are.
"Um, I'm Arianna Danvers. Nice to meet you, Edward" she said. Edward smiled.
"Nice to meet you too. Are you alone? Where're your friends? Usually all of you are always together."
"She's with me" A cold voice was heard from behind Edward. Edward turned around and found Draco glared at him. He was eyeing Edward with a cold look. A message was clearly shown in his grey-blue eyes 'Stay away from her!'
"Hi, I'm Edward Cullen" Edward said. Draco walked to his girlfriend and put an arm around her waist.
"Draco Malfoy" He said shortly before turned around, leading Arianna away from him. Edward narrowed his eyes. The way the girl tried to walked away and Draco's death glare meant they already knew about them. Edward quickly looked for his siblings. He had to inform them about it.
"What's wrong, Draco?" Luna asked the quiet Slytherin Prince.
"Edward Cullen tried to get close to us. They know about us being non-Muggle but they don't know about us being wizard." Draco said.
"He was trying to start a conversation with me. That's rather strange, though. I asked one of my classmates today and she said that the Cullen never talk or associate with the other student except for Bella Swan. The Muggle." Arianna said, trying to open her lunchbox. Harry threw a glance at the Cullen.
"They're looking at us." He whispered. Draco looked at the table. He quietly took out his wand from his sleeve.
"Legilimens" he thought. A scene played in front of his eyes.
"They know?" the small dark haired vampire girl asked. Edward nodded.
"Yes, Arianna Danvers and Draco Malfoy know so the rest of them too. He glared at me hard when I introduced my self to him." Edward said.
"What should we do?" The blonde haired girl asked.
"We have to keep an eye on them" This time, the blonde haired man who said.
Edward put his hand on his head when he felt something was trying to poke into his mind. His mind went blank for a second before memories flew rapidly in front of his eyes. He snapped to the real world when the memories stopped and his view went back to the small cafeteria. He held the edge of the table, trying to gather his consciousness.
"What's wrong, Edward?" Bella asked. Edward didn't answer. He let go of the table and hold his head.
"Edward?" Emmet called.
"Someone is trying to get into my head. No, someone has already in my head. He is reading my mind." Edward whispered. The Cullen looked at him in horror. Edward's eyes looked at where Harry and the others were. His eyes locked with a pair of grey ones.
"He read my mind" Edward said.
"Who?"
"Draco Malfoy"
"What is it, Draco?" Hermione asked, noticing him used legilimency. Draco broke his staring contest with Edward and took Arianna's apple before took a large bite.
"They knew we know about them so one of them said that they need to keep an eye on us. Oh, and Edward knew I read his mind so they will be more curious about us. Be careful" Draco said, leaning his head on Arianna's shoulder. Arianna shook her head and pushed him off.
"Hey!"
"Oh hush! I'm trying to eat here" Arianna said, glaring at him.
"I met Bella Swan yesterday" Luna said, looking at the Cullens table.
"When?" Ginny asked.
"When I was with Jacob. She looked like she was afraid of me and expecting me to do something. She then took Jacob away, saying that they needed to talk but after the talk Jacob was quiet. He kept glancing at me when he sent me home."
"Do you think Bella told him about us? About you?" Ron asked his mouth full with food.
"Maybe. She must have warned him about us." Hermione said.
"Come one, Luna!" Ginny called the blonde haired girl.
Luna jogged out the house, wearing a pair of blue sweat pants and white tank top. A small white towel slung around her neck. Her long hair was pulled into a high ponytail. The girls, minus Arianna, went to an afternoon jog today. They tried to convince the boys to come along but they seemed to be more interested by the new game set Draco had brought with Harry few days ago. Arianna said she was tired and wanted to have a nice nap.
"Let's go!" Hermione said. They jogged along the empty road, crossing a border between La Push and Forks.
"Wow, did we really jog this far?" Ginny asked as she read the sign La Push: Indian Reservation.
"It seems so. What do you expect? With many battles, escapes, fights with Death Eaters, we can say we had nice exercise" Hermione said.
"Hey Luna, what do you think of Jacob. You like him, don't you?" Hermione asked as they walked back to their house by foot. Ginny giggled.
"Jacob? Well, he's handsome, funny and nice." Luna said.
"Do you like him? You didn't say anything yesterday." Ginny asked. Luna smiled.
"Yes, I do"
"I knew it! Wait until Dora and Arianna hear about it. They will be very happy." Ginny said, jumping up and down. Luna and Hermione laughed.
"I'm happy for you Luna" Hermione said, giving the girl a hug. Luna smiled and hugged her back.
"Hey, aren't that Jacob and his friends?" Ginny said, pointing to the forest. Luna and Hermione broke their hug and turned their heads. Luna frowned when she saw Jacob, Embry, Jared and an unknown man running into the wood shirtless.
"Should we follow them?" Hermione asked. Ginny and Luna looked at each other, unsure what to do. Just when Luna opened her mouth to say something, a loud crash was heard. Startled, the three witched spun around.
They saw two trees on the ground. A pale man appeared from the forest later. He was looking over his shoulder like he was expecting someone. He turned his gaze to the three shocked witches and grinned. He took a deep breath.
"You smell wonderful. Different than any human I came across." He said. He looked at them with a hungry look on his face before lunged to Luna.
"Stupefy!" Hermione shouted, pointing her wand to the vampire. The vampire flew away from them but didn't fell unconscious. Suddenly, growls echoes from the forest and four giant wolves jumped out, making the vampire ran away. They chased the now running vampire and tore him apart. The giant wolves changed into four naked Native Americans.
"Who has fire?" The oldest looking man asked.
"Incendio" A soft voice said and the piles of vampire limps burned. The Native American turned their heads to the three young girls. They saw Hermione pointed her wand on the vampire's limps.
"Jacob" Luna whispered. Jacob looked panic for a moment before a large hand on his shoulder calm him.
"Luna... I think we need to talk" He said seriously.
"Yes, we do. But will you please put on your pants first?" Luna asked, turning her head away while smiling shyly. The shape sifters looked embarrassed and quickly turned away, ignoring soft giggle that escaped from the girls' mouth.
"Um... you can look now" Jacob said, still embarrassed.
"Let's go to Emily's place" The oldest man said. Jacob offered his hand to Luna who accepted it gladly. Luna looked at the two witches behind her and nodded her head, telling them it was okay. Ginny and Hermione looked at each other before shrugged and followed them.
"Sam, you're home" Luna saw a Native America woman ran down the stairs. She was quite beautiful despite the scary scar across her face. Her long black hair was played by the wind as she ran to the oldest man, Sam, and gave him a hug. She must be his girlfriend or fiancé or wife.
"Emily" Sam gave her a sweet kiss. Emily turned her head to the three girls and smiled.
"Hi, you must be the newcomers. Nice to meet you. I am Emily Young." She said, giving each girl a hug.
"Hi, I'm Luna and these are my friends, Hermione Granger and Ginny Weasley." Luna said.
"Oh, so you're Luna. Jacob has been talking nonstop about you. Come in" Emily said. Luna threw a confuse look at Jacob, who was rubbing the back of his head embarrass. Luna shook her head in amusement before let Jacob led her inside.
"Here, take a muffin" Emily put down a large basket of giant muffin on the table, after giving the boys a death glare. Luna, Hermione and Ginny took one each before sat down on the chair. The young boys took as many as they could before sit down on the chairs (Jacob beside Luna and Sam beside Emily) and floor (Jared and Quil).
"So, care to tell us what happened earlier?" Luna asked, looking at Jacob. Jacob looked at his Alpha, who nodded to him, before took a deep breath, preparing himself for an explanation.
"Sam, I can do patrol tonight!" Seth flew into the room, screaming about how his teacher asked him to have a tutor tonight.
"Patrol?" Hermione asked. Seth, finally noticing the girls, covered his mouth with his palm and looked at Sam for a help.
"Stop it, Seth. You'll wake the whole La Push" A tall tan skinned woman walked in. Behind her, Paul could be seen. Both of them stopped when she saw them.
"Who are they?" She asked, glaring at the witches.
"Seth, Leah, Paul sit down. We owe an explanation to them and they owe us one as well." Sam said.
"Jake, continue!"
"Where're they?" Harry asked. He was punching his phone button angrily. It was almost 5 pm but his girlfriend hadn't come back yet. Worse, his cell phone couldn't reach them.
"Don't freak out, Potter. They can take care of them self. I have sent Custos to look after them anyway." Draco said, taking a ship from his coffee. Harry glared at the Slytherin Prince.
"Custos maybe a clever owl, Draco but there is a coven of vampire here not worms. Who knows how many vampires out there beside the Cullens? And they're girls!" Harry said. He winced when a pillow hit his head. He turned around and found the culprit sat beside Draco, glaring at him.
"So what if they're girls, Harry?" Arianna asked coldly, slowly standing up. Harry took a step back.
"You think just because they're girls, they will get hurt easily? That they can't take care of themselves?" Arianna asked. Harry shook his head quickly.
"N-No, Ari. I m-mean..." Harry looked at Draco, who was enjoying the scene between his girlfriend and best friend, for a help.
"Love, Potter just worried about them. It's not because they can't take care of themselves but because it is normal to worry about the love of our life. It's our responsibility to protect the ones we love no matter what. Potter just doesn't want anything happen to them just like you don't want anything happen to us, the boys, although you knew that we can take care of our selves" Draco said, pulling Arianna onto his lap. Arianna sighed.
"Oh, okay then" she said, leaning on his chest. Harry sent Draco a grateful look which returned with a Malfoy smirk.
"Why don't you call them and tell them to go home then?" Arianna asked.
"I couldn't reach their phone. I have used mine, Draco's, Ron's, even yours but still." Harry sighed, pacing around again.
"What if they met a vampire? They can take care of it but what if they injured. What if some bad guy tried to seduce them? Oh Merlin, what if something worse happen to them" Harry said.
"Potter, calm down" Draco said, getting annoyed by his constant pacing.
"Yeah Harry. It was those three we're talking about. They will be fine" Ron said, sitting down on the sofa with a big sandwich in his hand. Harry didn't seem to hear them as he continued talking about vampires, unknown mythical creatures, informed the Order and so on.
"Potter, I swear. You keep pacing and talking, I will hex you!" Draco threatened. Arianna scoffed. She pulled out her wand.
"ExpectPatronum" a wolf appeared from her wand, looking at her curiously.
"I want you to find Luna, Ginny and Hermione. Tell them 'You make Harry worried. Please go home before Draco hexes him into next week because of his annoying attitude'. Now go!" Arianna ordered. The wolf jumped through the window and disappeared into the forest.
"See, done" Arianna said. Ron and Draco snickered.
"Witch? You three are a witch?" Seth asked in awe. Hermione smiled.
"Yes, we are. So does the boys, they are wizard." The wolf pack was staring at the three witches in disbelief.
"I thought wizard and witch aren't real" Embry said.
"As well as wolf shifter. But we can't say that mythical creatures aren't real anymore. We have a coven of vampire in Forks, a pack of wolf shifter in La Push now wizards and witches as well." Luna said. The wolf pack tensed when they heard about vampire.
"So you knew about the Cullen" Quil asked. Luna, Hermione and Ginny nodded.
"Draco was the first one who noticed that they aren't human. He said the Cullen were observing us and they weren't human. We searched about them until we found out about abnormal sparkling vampire." Ginny said.
"Your friend, Draco, is really observant." Sam said.
"Yeah. He had a great experience when it comes to dark stuff. He had seen many things we didn't. Vampires, as long as we know, are drinking human blood, mysterious, dark and kind of bad ass not sparkling, and heart throb high school students. That's why we didn't really notice them." Hermione said.
"So, was that your wand? The thing you pointed to the bloodsucker." Jacob asked. Hermione smiled and pulled her wand from her pocket.
"Yes, it is." Hermione said proudly. She pointed her wand to the muffin.
"Accio muffin" The shape shifters watched in awe when a muffin flew into Hermione's hand.
"Wow, that's so cool!" Seth claimed, jumping up and down from where he sat on the floor. Hermione, Ginny, and Luna chuckled at the excited boy. Their laughers stop when a patronus in wolf form came through the wall and stopped in front of Ginny and Hermione. The wolf opened his silver mouth.
'You make Harry worried. Please go home before Draco hexes him into next week because of his annoying attitude' Arianna's voice came out from its mouth. The wolf looked at Hermione, Ginny and Luna before disappeared into thin air.
"W-What was that?" Paul asked. The others were too shock to speak a word. Their eyes still set on where the patronus disappeared.
"Um, that's a patronus. It's like a guardian. That's Arianna's." Luna said.
"We have to go." Hermione announced, standing up. Ginny and Luna followed her out the house.
"I can send you home with Sam's car." Jacob offered.
"No, Jacob but thanks. If you want to know more about us, you can visit to our house. Jacob knows where. I'm sure my friends want to know about you too." Luna said.
"That's a good idea. I will clear up that you are good people and won't harm us. It also will stop Draco from spying all of you" Hermione said. Just as she stopped speaking, an Eagle owl flew down and landed on her shoulder.
"This is Draco's owl, Custos. He had been spying on you all since few days ago." Hermione said.
"That's owl was spying on us?" Jacob asked, eyeing the owl with interest.
"Yeah, Draco said that all of you aren't exactly human so he sent his owl to keep an eye on you." Hermione said.
"Can I touch him?" Seth asked happily. Hermione looked unsure.
"I don't know Seth. You may try though" Seth happily walked to Hermione before reaching out to pet the black owl on her shoulder. The owl squeaked at him before flew away.
"Aww..." Seth whined.
"Don't worry Seth. When you visit us, I will ask Draco to let you pet Custos" Luna said, trying to cheer him up.
"Let's go Luna" Luna walked to where Hermione and Ginny stood. She smiled at her new friends.
"I'm expecting you in few days. Bye bye. Bye Jacob" Luna said before the three of them disapparated.
"Did they just... disappear?" Quil asked, rubbing his eyes.
"Wow, that's so cool" Jared whispered in disbelief.
"We definitely will visit them" Sam said still in awe, earning nods from the boys and girls.
