First of thanks for all your reviews =)
Second of all, I dunno if my coven information is correct but seeing as they are basic characters I haven't gone into much detail lol.
Anyhoo enjoy-
I had been at the Cullen's a whole month now and finally my eyes were starting to look more golden than red. In fact I now looked more like a Cullen than ever before.
I was starting to enjoy my time with them and every hunting session I had had been a success. Sometimes if I did come across a human I got that same urge to go and kill him but every single time I had managed to fight it off and gone and caught a mountain lion instead.
Edward still couldn't read my mind which was bugging the hell out of him, much to my amusement. None of them could understand why it was only my mind Edward couldn't read but I made it quite clear I liked the fact he couldn't.
Alice had picked me out a fantastic wardrobe full of clothes, shoes, handbags, and the lot. Everyday I felt like I had just stepped out of a fashion magazine, again making me feel more like a Cullen everyday.
Rosaline had started to warm toward but there was still a bit of an icy attitude there but at least she would actually talk to me now.
Emmett hated the fact that I was still beating him at every arm wrestling match and that I could catch and kill a lion much better than he could.
And Jasper and I were growing closer each day, which started to feel like how it use to be. Yet I still couldn't bring myself to be in a relationship with him. And still I didn't know why.
As I walked down the stairs, after another full night of reading one of Edward's books, I found all the Cullen's sitting round a massive table clearly discussing something important.
I stood behind Emmett and looked at them all.
"Everything OK?" I asked.
"Yes everything's fine. We are thinking of organizing a party for Carlisle's 350th birthday." Esme told me.
I mouthed oh. Wow 350 years on the earth.
"At the moment we are just looking at what vampires to invite." Carlisle informed me.
I sat in the chair next to Emmett and looked at Carlisle.
"Are there vampires all over the world?" I asked him.
Carlisle nodded.
"And very few of them are vegetarians like us so we have to be careful who we invite as some can not be trusted." He told me.
I nodded and listened as they talked about vampires all over the world. From as far as Africa!
"OK so we are going to invite the Amazonian coven, the Denali coven, Irish coven and the European coven. I think that should be enough." Esme said, after a long discussion.
"What about the Volturi?" Edward asked.
The table suddenly went quiet and I looked at everyone in confusion.
Carlisle sighed a serious sigh.
"They are going to find about it and Hermione." He said, his face looking serious.
"Who are the Volturi?" I asked.
"The Volturi live in Italy and have been vampires for thousands of years. They enforce the vampire laws…" Carlisle started.
"Vampires have laws?" I asked, half laughing.
Carlisle smiled slightly.
"They stop us revealing what we are to humans and other laws. They feed on human blood and will try to get any vampire with a special talent to join their… coven." He said.
I looked at him confused.
"And why would they want to know about me?" I asked.
"You never know with the Volturi." Was all he said.
Alice and Jasper were being sent to the Amazon to ask their coven to the party, and Emmett and Rosalie were being sent to Deli to try and invite that coven.
Carlisle and Edward were going to invite the Irish coven and the European coven.
Esme and I were left behind to decorate the place.
Alice was a bit upset that she hadn't been asked to decorate the place but Carlisle felt it best that I stay behind as I was still only a month old.
Two days after they left Esme started hanging up some balloons while I blew them up with the helium tank.
"How are you and Jasper coming along?" She asked me.
I knew she had been dying to ask me the whole two days everyone had been gone.
I sighed as I handed her a balloon.
"The same as usual I suppose. It kind of feels like what it use to be when we weren't… like this." I said.
Esme look at me sympathetically.
"And no sign of the two of you making a go of it?" She asked, raising one of her eyebrows slightly.
I shook my head.
"I am still not ready." I said.
"Why Hermione? What's holding you back? Are you scared he is going to hurt you again?" She asked.
"No it's not that. I don't feel like the same person that I was. I know I am not the same person, I am a vampire for crying out loud. But I feel like… what if we can't have what we had before? Because of what we now are." I said.
I didn't know if what I had just told Esme was the truth but for some reason it made sense.
Maybe there was another reason holding me back from a relationship with Jasper.
The front door opened and in walked Emmett and Rosalie with four people following behind them.
A short blonde headed girl walked towards Esme and gave her a quick hug before turning to me.
"This must be Hermione." She said.
I nodded slightly as she pulled me into a hug.
She then took my hand and led me towards the other three people.
"This is my family. My sister Kate and our friends Eleazar and Carmen." She told me. "And I am Tanya."
I shook all their hands and took their vampire beauty in.
Eleazar looked at me intently and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable at his stare.
"You have… something special about you yet I cannot pinpoint what." He said, slowly.
I just looked at him, unsure what to say.
"Eleazar had the ability to vaguely identify what talent each vampire has." Tanya smiled.
Whatever his talent was, he could have at least stopped staring at me!
There was a knock at the door, which finally averted Eleazar's gaze from me, and Alice and Jasper entered with three more strangers.
Jasper automatically came to my side and put an arm round my waist.
"This is Hermione, the girl I was telling you about." Jasper said.
I looked up at him, he was smiling from ear to ear. I then looked at the vampires.
One walked towards me and shook my hand.
"I am Zafrina." She told me, her dreadlocks reaching down past her waist.
"This is Senna and Kachiri." She said, motioning towards the other two dark skinned vampires.
Something about Zafrina made me like her instantly. She seemed friendly despite being one of the human killing vampires.
And finally Edward and Carlisle entered with more vampires.
I shifted myself out of Jasper's arm and looked at the others who had entered.
"This is Hermione, the newest addition to our family." Carlisle said.
I was introduced to Siobhan, Liam and Maggie from the Irish coven and Alistair, Charles and Makenna from the European coven.
"Right now you are all here, you can help with decorations." Carlisle smiled, rubbing his hands together.
Everyone laughed and followed him into the living room.
Jasper put his arm round my waist once again.
The decorations didn't take long to do with everyone helping.
Jasper never left my side as I spoke to Zafrina most of the time.
Eleazar still kept staring at me but decided to ignore him.
I watched as Tanya flirted outrageously with Edward, sometime staring at them for long periods of time before Zafrina snapped me out of my thoughts.
Finally the room was finished and it looked amazing.
Like something out of the movies.
Just by looking at the room I could see this was going to be one hell of a party.
"Let's get ready to party then!" Carlisle exclaimed.
The room filled with a loud cheer.
