New Members

It's been 6 months since I joined Victoria and Laurent. Irina Denali has also joined us, apparently she couldn't stay away from Laurent for to long.

I had also found some other interesting powers. I can change my appearance. All I have to do is think about how I want myself to look and concentrate. I can also change the appearance of those around me. Let me tell you, it was fun watching Laurent trying to get rid of bubble gum pink hair and green eyebrows. I didn't let it up for three days. That was one good piece of blackmail. I also have the power of rejection. It means that I can reject mental and physical attacks, on myself, and on people around me. I can also reject the smell and taste of human blood. None of us crave human blood at all anymore, and haven't slipped up once. I can also see the bonds that people share. There is a red line between Laurent and Irina showing mate. A white line between Victoria and I, showing how much we care for one another. There was a blue line from everyone to me, showing leader ship.

Victoria and I were out hunting in the secluded forests of Alaska, giving Laurent and Irina some time alone.

There's a pack of grizzlies a couple of miles Northwest of here- Victoria

Lets bag us some lunch – Bella

We kept running for about two miles before we herd a human scream in agony.

I looked over at Victoria. "Lets go see what's wrong."

We ran for another mile and came across a horrifying site. A pack of four extremely large grizzlies were surrounding four people. I knew they were injured because I could smell the blood.

You take the grizzlies; I'll check the humans. I thought to Victoria.

Not bothering to wait for a response I ran at vampire speed to the aid of the humans. One of the girls seemed to be in the most danger so I went to her first. As I knelt down beside her I got a good look at her. She couldn't be more than 16 years old. She was tonne and had very tanned skin. She was obviously tall for her age; I'd say around 5'8. She had blue green eyes with long sandy blond hair. She was very pretty.

I looked down at her leg. Her jeans had been torn allowing me to see her leg, she had three deep gashes where a paw had taken a swipe at her and was bleeding heavily from there. Her parka was unzipped showing a crimson red stain on her baby pink top.

"What's your name?" I asked taking her hand in mine.

"Brittany," she said in a quite voice, "I'm 16, please help us."

I looked over at her friends. The was another beautiful girl around her age only she was smaller with raven black hair, she paler than Brittany, with an injury to her head which had clearly knocked her out. There were also two boys who were defiantly twins. The looked around 17, with messy brown hair and musceled frames. One had an injury to the abdomen and had lost a lot of blood. The others arm was bleeding with the bone sticking out at a horrible angle and a bleeding leg. I knew none of them were going to survive a trip to the hospital.

I faintly herd Victoria killing off the grizzlies.

"Listen Brittany, I'm not human," I told her looking her in the eyes.

"What are you?" she asked with the oxygen she was able to drag in.

"I'm a vampire," I told her looking over at Victoria, who only had two grizzlies to go, "the only way I can save you is to bite you and your friends. If I bite you, you will become immortal never aging and never dying. If that is what you want for you and your friends I can bite you now, if not, there's nothing I can do to save you. What is your choice?"

"Do it, please, save us," she said laying herself down on the ground.

"I will save you," I said as I leaned down to bite her neck.

As soon as I bit down she started screaming in agony. Not even knowing how it would help I grabbed her hand in mine and sent an energy even I couldn't describe to her. After a few seconds she stopped screaming and the only emotion I could pick up from her was peace.

As soon as I knew Brittany was fine I went over to the boy who had a lot of blood lost. Not even thinking about it I immediately bit down on his neck and sent the energy I sent Brittany into him and did the same to the others.

By the time I had bitten all of them, Victoria had finished off the grizzlies.

How come none of them are screaming, I mean, I know you didn't scream, but you're the strongest person I know and you knew what was happening to you. - Victoria

I don't know. I saw Brittany in pain and wanted to stop it. I sent this energy into her and a few seconds later the only emotion I could feel from her was peace. That's actually the only emotion I can feel from any of them. - Bella

I think you just found another power Bella, the power to stop pain, the power to heal. - Victoria

It's plausible. You go back to Laurent and Irina, I'll wait here until they wake up then come back. – Bella

"See you when they wake up," she said then she disappeared into the forest.

I waited for three day for them to wake up. I sat there combing the knots out of Brittany's hair.

Brittany was first to wake up as she was bitten first and had lost the most blood.

I sat next to her as she opened her eyes for the first time.

"What happened?" she asked as she sat up to look at me.

"I had to bite you and your friends to save you from the grizzlies, while my sister took them out," I said.

"What was that burning? I felt like I was on fire then it all of a sudden stopped, and all I felt was peace and tranquillity."

"That was me, it is a power I only just realised I had. The power numb and stop pain," I said looking her in the eyes, which were now crimson red.

"I'm sorry, you just saved my life, and I don't even know your name."

"I don't believe we've been formally introduced. I'm Isabella Hunter, but please call me Bella," I said holding out my hand.

"Brittany Alexander," she said shaking my hand.

"I don't mean to be rude but what were you and your friends doing all the way out here?"

"Max and Damien just turned 17 and wanted to have an adventure. I've been best friends with Max since I could walk, and Clara's my best friend and has been dating Damien for nearly three year. So we all packed up ready for a week of camping, not knowing how horribly wrong it could go."

I saw Clara start to stir behind Brittany.

"The others are waking up," I said standing up and walking over to Clara.

"I'll make sure Clara's okay, you handle explaining everything to the boys, alright right?" I asked as I knelt down over Clara gently pushing her hair out of her face.

"Sure thing," she said moving so she was holding Max's hand. The bond between them was a pinkish colour, mean they are strong friends but the friendship is slowly turning into love.

I looked down just as Clara's eyes fluttered open.

"What happened?" she asked looking up at me.

"You and your friend where attacked by a pack of Grizzlies and you hit your head. Brittany was still conscious when my sister and I found you guys. I told her about my family and I being vampires and she asked me to bite you to save you guys."

"Thankyou," she said sitting up.

Just as she sat up I herd a male voice ask, "Where's Clara?"

"I'm right here," Clara said standing up at vampire speed, just as one of the twins who I'm guessing is Damien stood up.

As soon she saw him she was in his arms holding him for dear life. "I love you," she mumbled into his shirt.

"I love you too," he said into her hair. The bond between them was rich red showing mate and unconditional love.

I let them talk for few minutes observing the bonds between them. Damien and had a silver line sowing biological brothers, while everyone had a white line connected to each other, not as bright as Victoria and myself, but still very strong.

After letting them talk for a few minutes I spoke up, "Ok guys, I need to talk to you."

They all turned to face me giving me their full attention.

"As you know you are all now vampires. It is true we drink blood to survive. But my family and I survive off the blood of animals for we do not want to be monsters. Now, you can either choose to join the lifestyle of my family, in which case I will use one of my power to stop you wanting human blood. Or you can choose your own path, in which case I wont stop you, for it is your choice."

Everyone looked at each other and after a moment Brittany spoke up. "We will join you and your family."

"I was hoping you would say that," I said letting a smile creep onto my face. I closed my eyes and concentrated on rejection. When I opened my eyes I smiled at them.

"Let's go on your first hunt," and with that we were running through the forest in search of our meal.
