The next few minutes were nerve-racking as we waited for our visitors to arrive, I kept averting my eyes to the misty clearing where I knew they were going to come out of, Ryan put his hand on my shoulder, causing me to jump a bit, "Sky… it's going to be okay." He reassured me. "Yeah, there's 12 of us and 4 of them, we can easily over power them." Rosalie included. I nodded slightly, "Yeah but this is my first encounter with human drinking vampires… do you not see why I worry?" I asked, some of them nodded, "Hmm, maybe you can stay back and look out for Jacob and Nessie then, they'll be the ones who are most in danger right now." Edward suggested, I felt grateful as I nodded, "I'll stay close to Sky, for extra protection." Ryan said, staying at my side. I smiled slightly as the others got into position, forming a slightly curved line, Renesmee touched my face, showing me memories of her reading Edward's mind, from when Bella was still human and this was nearly like this encounter, Nessie's mother had nearly died or had been changed by a tracker named James. I nodded slightly and whispered, "This time, we are stronger, we won't let anything bad happen to you or Jacob." I set my golden eyes on the wolf stood close to her, I could see in his eyes that he would do anything to protect her, that he would not leave her side if it killed him. I smiled slightly, loving the bonds they had in this family.
It was moments after this thought that I felt them, they were about to appear, "Here we go." I whispered. Edward nodded, reading my thoughts, hearing the footsteps as they got closer, 4 shadows appeared in the mist, they got bigger as they came closer and closer. My eyes narrowed slightly as they came right up to us, there were two males and two females. The two on the outer sides in a slight bent position as if in a stance, I guessed that these were the two who had the special abilities, one was a tall, short brown haired male with blood red eyes, the other, a female, her hair blonde and straight, her eyes I thought should have been blue but no they were also blood red. I sensed Jasper's eyes set on me, I knew he was sensing my anxiousness, he turned his attention back on the four and I felt myself go calm. I let out the smallest sigh as the male on the inside of the four smiled slightly, he had black curly hair, and the female next to him also had black but it was thick and straight, "We heard you playing, we did not know that there was a coven in this area." The male said in a calm, quiet velvety voice.
"We like to lay low, interact with the humans." Carlisle replied just as calm, I thought Jasper might have had something to do with this. I let out slow sigh as a strong breeze picked up; the black haired female sniffed subtly and her lip curled, averting her eyes past me to Renesmee then to the vampire next to her. A snarl came from in front of me as Edward read her thoughts, "Don't even think about it…" he growled. The female giggled harshly, showing her magnificently white teeth. "Saphira! Stop." The male commanded her and she fell silent at once. "My name is Lee, that is Will" he pointed to the brown haired vampire who nodded slightly, "Megan" he pointed to the blonde she smiled slightly, "and Saphira." He looked at the black haired female besides him. "We mean no harm, we were just curious."
"Yeah we know." Alice said quietly. Lee looked at Alice then looked at Carlisle, "I am Carlisle and this is my family" he introduced himself.
"Can we play?" Lee asked, Carlisle nodded slightly, "Hm, Alice, how long of the storm is left?" he asked, Alice looked at the ground, "A while, we have all night."
Carlisle nodded slightly before looking at the four visitors, "Then I suppose we can play for a bit longer…My wife Esme and I are team leaders…" I bared my teeth, glaring suspiciously at the other three vampires, Lee seemed genuine but I didn't trust the others. I wasn't the only one who was suspicious, Emmett, Bella and Jacob seemed to act the same as me. Will and Megan relaxed their stances as Lee turned to them and Saphira, "You two" he said pointing to Will and Saphira, "will be on Carlisle's team, Megan and I will be on his wife's." Lee instructed, the three of them nodded and split off to their teams. Even though Will and Saphira were on my team I didn't trust them at all. I looked at Bella and her eyes connected with mine, I kept my eyes locked on hers as if trying to send a message to her, I hoped she understood as she nodded and walked off to field. I was hoping that she put her shield safely around Nessie as she was the most vulnerable with her scent so strong on the gusty wind. I wasn't so much worried about Jacob as he stank horribly I guessed it was because the wolves and vampires were supposed to be enemies so we both smelt bad to each other. I watched Saphira take up a bat and stand on the pit as Renesmee bowled.
As soon as Nessie pitched, a gust of wind picked up, the scent of blood caught my nose, it was so strong, so sweet, but it was not Nessie's scent … Less than a second later Saphira dropped her bat and snarled, "So…thirsty…" she whispered and groaned.
"No…" I whispered to myself, "Edward read my mind! Saphira is about to make a break for it!" I saw him and Bella make for Renesmee, making a protective circle around her, some others, like Rosalie and Alice followed, but Saphira paid no attention to them, she grinned as she turned to speed off, "Damn" I shouted as Saphira disappeared in a cloud of dust. I sped after Saphira on my own, no one could help me at this point. I followed her, getting as close as I could, "You will stop right now, you will freeze where you are and not move an inch!" I yelled. Instantly she froze where she was, I smiled a little and waited for Ryan and Lee to turn up, "I am sorry for the inconvenience…" he said to me, "The real reason we came here is… because we want to change, we do not want to harm the humans, but Saphira has been resistant…we must… rip and burn or she shall cause terror to your town, I have already told Edward to tell Carlisle." He declared. I nodded slightly and looked at Ryan who stared at Lee then nodding too. "I'll make the fire." I said, picking up wood and lit it with a lighter which Ryan had handed to me, I turned away and all I heard was the sound of ripping and tearing of skin. I then watched as the parts of Saphira burn…
