Mia glanced at her friend as they "jogged" along to the Cullen's home. She knew that this was making the rather violent Lira upset. Mia didn't think this was cakewalk, but Lira was overreacting. When Lira overreacts, it reminds you of a ticking time-bomb.
The Cullen home was grand, well-decorated, and extremely stylish.
"Here we are," Edward said.
His "wife" gave him a large smile, which made Lira uneasy. It's as if they're planning something...her thoguths clearly broadcasted to Edward Edward shot them both a small smile, a pitying one. He thought they were new vampires, Mia assumed, neither girl liked this.
Mia opened her mouth to speak; she didn't know how to start. What's with human-ish, dog-smelling one? Jacob, they said. Or the girl who was obviously not human but Mia or Lira couldn't figure out what she was. Did the rest of the coven have any other special powers? She felt slightly uncomfortable thinking these thoughts, knowing that Edward would be carefully reviewing them.
Entering the home, they all sat down on long sofas, leaving the empty loveseat to Mia and Lira.
"We we're- I was wondering, do any of you have any abilities too?" Mia broke the silence. Might as well go out straight and ask them, Edward would tell them later pursed her lips, and didn't speak. Mia was more social, and prefered to do the speaking.
The blond one, called Jasper exhaled sharply. "I apologize, we don't feel comfortable telling you our abilities at the moment, I must converse with Alice to see if it would be safe to tell you,"said Carlisle. The tiny spiky-black haired one moved swiftly and gracefully to Carlisle's side and nodded. Mia and Lira peered at them curiously.
"Physic." Lira spoke rather loudly than her normal tone. It would be interesting to be a furture-seer. Lira concluded. Mia nodded.
"That would make sense." Mia cocked her head to the side and analyzed all of the people. Her gaze lingering on Renesme the longest. She did look quite like Bella and Edward, but vampires can't have children. Is it possible for one of the parents to be human when he/she concieved her? Yes, she decided, and it was most likely Bella. Edward's eyes flickered back at the two rather interested. Mia, he thought, was rather intuitive, whilst Lira, was her balance. Together, they definitely made quite the pair.
"All right then, Alice sees no threat from you," Lira sneered, as if she wouldn't be a worthy opponent. "Let me rephrase that, I meant that you do not wish to fight us. I wasn't insulting your fighting skills," said Carlisle gently. "Renesmee can show you what she's thinking," Mia and Lira looked puzzled. Show? "If you would allow me to touch you, I can show you what I mean," said a sweet, musical voice that came from the chocolate-colored eyed one. Mia stepped forward without missing a beat. Lira made an involuntary moved to pull her back ,but stopped herself. If Mia can trust this coven then so could she. Renesmee pressed a hand to Mia's cheekbone. Mia gasped sharply.
Images filled Mia's mind, pictures of her birth, playing, fond memories of Jacob, and the Volturi. (Mental squeal.) Lira tensed, and let out a hiss. When Renesme pulled away, she motioned towards Lira. Lira promptly shook her head, "No thank you." She added in a cautious airy-whisper tone, and stepped back. She'd be dead before she let that happen. This caused an angry glare from Edward. Lira returned it ten-fold.
Mia brought her hands to her mouth in shock. Lira grasped Mia's arms and glared daggers at Renessmee. "What. Did. You. Do. To. Her?" demanded Lira. "Lira! I'm fine, just a little shocked," She told Lira tentively before Lira attacked the innocent girl. Lira eyed Renessmee suspiciously. How had she bewitched Mia. "Whatever, I'm not letting her touch me," said Lira, matter-of-factly. "Come on Lira! It's amazing," said Mia ,slightly impatient. "No,"
"I'm sorry Lira, but you need to learn how to trust them," said Mia regretfully. Sorry? Why is Mia sorry? Lira realized what Mia was going to do half a second too late. Let Renessmee touch you. The thought entered Lira's mind before she could do anything. The world became blank. All there was was a hand. Lira couldn't even see the body it was connected to. Lira sought it excitedly. She was going to let Renesmee touch her. Nothing else in the world mattered. This mattered way more than Lira's own life. Nothing else in the world exists. There was no Mia or mysterious vampire coven or Forks or anything. Just this girls hand, as it brushed against her cheekbone.
Pictures drifted into Lira's mind, just like they had done Mia's. She involuntarily let out a small grin. Renesme was happy in these images, except for the Volturi. These vampires had ruby eyes, and power seemed to roll off them. Lira was curious about them. The hand left before she got any more peeks at this coven. Instantly, she could think clearly, or as clearly as you can when your seething in anger. Reb clouds hazed over her eyes. A low growl was emitted from her throat, directed towards Mia. "How dare you! Why would you go against me like that? I said NO and you went and made see anyways." She screamed, her voice hitting upper octaves. Before giving the stunned Mia a chance to reply, Lira form flickered making her invisible and she bolted out the door. Mia sighed. Mia didn't understand why Lira bothered turning invisible. It may work on humans, but Mia could smell Lira's scent from a mile away. Come back, remain still, and listen. Mia commanded. Lira walked back very robot-ish and turned as still as a stature, her face a permanent scowl. "I apologize for controlling you. It's not like I made you do anything bad. I'm really and truly sorry. But come awn, admit that Renessmee didn't mean you any harm," Mia waited patiently for about a second before she realized she hadn't called off the command. "Oops," Think clearly and control yourself. Mia commanded.
"I'm going back." Lira said calmly and quiet, "I want nothing to do with these Cullen's." She turned walked slowly to the door before pausing, her hand on the knob, to take a quick glance back at Mia. "And you'd best not stop me." Lira left. Mia frowned at the door, "I'm sorry for Lira's behavior. She's tempermental, and once she decides something, it's suicide to try to convince her otherwise, even when she was human." A small smile appeared to the Cullen family. "Please excuse me," Mia smiled sadly, as she darted out the door after her sister.
Mia sniffed the air hopefully for her scent. Lira was blocking her scent again. Mia expected this ,but it was still a blow of disappointment. Lira, come back commanded. Nothing. This too Mia expected. She could only control minds within seeing and hearing range. And she couldn't find Lira anywhere.
