In the end the wolves agreed to help. Both packs, Jaq couldn't fathom out why. They agreed to have a meeting in the meadow to hear what the vampires were like. They had brought Nessie and Connor with them as neither Jaq nor Jacob could bear to leave them behind. The two of them were now sleeping on the grass next to Rosalie under blankets they had brought with them.

Jaq sat on the ground of the meadow staring out at the late night sky. Why did Delano have to come now? Just when they had found a family and friends. It was so cruel...

"Are you ready Jaq?" Nathan asked. "Edward said the wolves will be arriving in about two minutes."

Jaq stood up and nodded her head shakily. "Yeah, I'm ready..." She mumbled.

Nathan frowned. "Are you sure you're okay with this?" He asked. "It would be better if you explained them because you see much more than I do, but if you don't think you can..." He trailed off and Jaq shook her head.

"No I'm fine. I'm just not so good talking to a lot of people..."

Nathan smiled. "Yeah I guessed."

"They're here." Edward murmured just a few metres away.

Jaq looked up to the trees on the other side of the clearing. The first wolf to appear was a huge red-brown one - Jacob. He was followed by his four other pack members and they sat in a group near Edward and Bella.

Jaq glanced over to them. That wolf was watching her with the same expression again. She froze and looked back to the trees. Nathan growled under his breath. She half wondered what was bothering him but was distracted by what was coming out of the trees.

After Jacob's pack came a much larger group of wolves. This group was lead by a large grey wolf that was second in size only to Jacob. He was followed by four larger wolves and a group of much smaller wolves. Jaq frowned. They must've been really young. Probably too young to get mixed up in things like this.

They stopped a little further away from the vampires than Jacob's pack. Obviously they weren't as comfortable as the other pack. The younger wolves in particular were very edgy.

Once they were all seated Carlisle stepped up into the gap that had become a sort of stage.

"Thank you for coming." He said quietly. "For whatever reasons you have for being here, I thank you all." He glanced over to the wolf with the weird expression. "This meeting is to let you know what we're all up against." He said talking to everyone again. "It would appear that these are extremely dangerous vampires and we need to prepare ourselves in every way possible to beat them. Jaq who has come into close contact with them before has volunteered to explain this clan to us all." He indicated for her to come over.

She took in a shaking breath and walked over to stand by him. He patted her shoulder and walked back to stand by Esme.

Jaq bit her lip and glanced back to Nathan, he gave a nod and a reassuring smile. She took a deep breath and began to speak. She fingered the pearl necklace around her neck nervously as she spoke.

"Yes, well, as Carlisle said, they are a very dangerous coven." She said shakily. There was so many of them. She avoided any eye contact and spoke to the grass instead. "Delano is very power hungry and only allows vampires with talents into his coven. Delano is a very old and experienced vampire. I'm not sure how old exactly but he is certainly very skilled at fighting. He controls electricity and lightning so attacking him will be difficult. He doesn't speak much at all but spends the time others spend talking, calculating and scheming. He is a very smart and intelligent vampire, so outsmarting him will also be difficult."

Jaq took another breath and continued slowly becoming more comfortable with the audience.

"His mate, Claudia is also fairly ancient." She continued. "She doesn't speak at all. The only person who has ever heard her speak is Delano. Nathan says she is the most powerful tracker he has ever come across so running from the clan won't work at all. Delano feels very deeply for her so I suppose she could be thought of as his weakness. I've never seen her fight though so I'm not sure how difficult she would be to take down.

"The other male of the coven is Dante and... well... I suppose you could think of him as an evil version of Emmett." She heard Emmett sniggering loudly behind her and smiled. "He's well built and is always up for a fight. He's quite cocky and I suppose that could be his weakness if you could find a way around that. He can possess and control animals which though it sounds a little stupid can be really bad in a fight for you.

"His mate, Evelyn is probably one of the most dangerous. She has a very innocent way about her that makes you think she's a nice person. She's not. Don't trust her. I call her the most dangerous because by simply making eye contact with you she can make you believe anything. She can make you believe that the reason you're fighting her is stupid and then attack you before you can do anything. She's very vain and shallow because of her beauty so if you can use that to your advantage it might save you.

"The last of them is Prudence. She is the youngest and newest addition to the coven but is in no way the weakest. If anything she is the most powerful. She is a very rare vampire as she has two talents - two very dangerous talents. She can control and create the element fire is every way possible and can make you feel thirsty. For a human this means that they feel they're dying of dehydration. For a vampire this means that you will attack any humans nearby. However she only creates the illusion of thirst so I think that Bella's shield may be able to block her. Delano is very adamant that she stays with them because of her powers but according to Alice she keeps changing her mind about staying with them. We don't know why this is so I say don't trust her until we fathom it out...

"So, that's umm... all of them..." Jaq looked over the audience into every set of eyes. "I- I just want to say, I don't know all of the reasons why you want to help but- I can't tell you how thankful I am..." Jaq stepped back to Nathan, who put his arm around her comfortingly.

Jasper took her play on the stage and began talking tactics. Jaq twisted her head back to Nathan.

"How did I do?" She whispered.

"Great." He smiled.

"You sure?"

He nodded, still smiling. Jaq smiled back and turned to listen to Jasper. He was just finishing talking tactics on Prudence.

"...and so if we prevent Bella from being too distracted it would save us from her latter power." The crowd of wolves nodded. "Is there any questions?"

The big grey wolf looked over to Edward who nodded and turned to the others.

"Sam wants his younger pack members to become used to our smells so they can smell the difference between enemy and not." He explained. "If we could all stay very still, they aren't very comfortable around us."

Jasper nodded and gestured to the wolves. Jaq stood very still as one by one the wolves got up and walked around them. She couldn't help feeling sorry for the young wolves - most of them looked terrified. They'd obviously never been so close to vampires before. Jaq frowned, wondering again why they had to be dragged in so young.

Jacob's pack stayed sat where they were the whole time - they already knew the scents well enough. The mahogany wolf continued to watch her with the same expression. What was his problem?

The wolves from Sam's pack finished familiarising themselves with the scents and stepped back to their original place - many of the younger wolves looking relieved.
