Chapter 10
"No, Edward we are a mostly informal group of vampires who appear to be extremely formidable. We are but that doesn't mean that we have to act like a coven of pompous brats!" Everyone chuckled at Grace's explanation to me. However Aalexis soon decided to let me in on what I had to do to enter the group.
"Edward to enter the group, you must take part in …. training." As she hesitated on the word 'training' I was immediately struck with a bolt of consternation. 'Training' didn't sound like it would be pleasant.
"What does this training involve?" I asked apprehensively. There was a moment of silence after my words that was extremely ominous.
"Don't worry Edward it doesn't take that long, and after it, you will be stronger in both mind and body." She looked at me with worry. But quickly masked it when she saw me looking at her eyes. As I thought about the pain that was so obviously waiting for me. I realised that I shouldn't be scared. After all what did I have to live for. I was never going to see Bella again. My family hated me because of what I did to Bella. And I hadn't even managed to follow Victoria, as I vowed I would do to protect Bella. I was a failure. And if this coven was the only thing that I could accomplish in my miserable existence. Then be dammed if I was going to turn down the opportunity just because of a little pain. I chuckled at my my own little pun. And all the vampires around me gave me strange looks. Except Aalexia who had shared the joke with me, (her being able to read minds and all.) She was now smiling softly at me although there was a look of pain on her face.
"Ok. I'll do it!" I exclaimed. After all what was there to lose?
