Chapter 14: The arrival of the covens.

DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING SO EAT PANCAKES MARSHALLOW DWARVES!

I scrubbed my head furiously with shampoo, taking my anger out on my own head. I rinsed out my abused scalp and did a conditioning round, finally leaving the shower. I dried my self off and my hair, speeding to my room to change. I changed into a short black summer dress, white vest and short high heeled boots. I went to my vanity, putting a dark navy eye shadow on and glossing my lips. I did a little twirl in the mirror, liking what I saw. For once I managed to get dressed up by myself and without Alice barging in!

I glided down the stairs, trying to push the previous event's aside. Everyone was dressed nicely, the whole room buzzing with laughter and chit chat. I managed to slip into the room undetected, gracefully making my way towards an amazingly dressed Nessie. She was wearing a curve hugging( Edwards won't be happy!) ocean blue dress, with her bronze ringlets falling in waterfall waves down her back. I smiled as I approached, realizing she was once again arguing with Jane. I breathed a sigh of relief as Alec wasn't there. I shouldn't be relieved, he was right about me. Maybe he isn't all that bad, he made me see something I was to deluded to see. It doesn't mean I'm falling for him! It just means he was right for once.

"Guys!" I yelled as I approached them. Their heads snapped to me, chests heaving up and down in anger. "Can you pick another time to try and verbally assault each other? Seriously our friends will be arriving anytime now." I said. They both huffed and Jane stormed over to Alec who was talking to Aro. I couldn't help but mentally swoon at him, he was wearing a red shirt and black tie with black slacks. He met my eyes, completely emotionless and calm. I gave him the same long stare before turning away, turning to see a suspicious Nessie.

"What did he do?" She asked. I laughed lightly, cursing how well she knew me.

"Nothing happened, I just don't like him you know that!" I said fakely cheerful. She was about to probe further, only to be interrupted by the door bell ringing. Alice squealed and ran to the door, coming back with a bunch of yellow eyed and red eyed vampires. There looked to be five covens all together.

The Irish coven were there. They were to second smallest coven. Siobhan was the taller lady with a big build and honey hair, she was imposing but looked motherly. Liam was a taller, wiry man with a a green shepherd's hat on and a tartan coat. Maggie was the smallest and one with dark red hair which fell in corkscrew curls. Rosalie told me they were quite closed and were only really friendly to Carlisle and that they kept to themselves.

The Denalis were easy to spot as they were the only vegetarians there. Carmen and Elezar were the dark haired couple with kind eyes, Tanya was the only solitary one but her face remained happy. Kate and Garrett were looking at us in a very nonchalant way, clinging to each other lovingly. Bella told me they were our cousins from Alaska and practically extended family to us.

The Amazon coven were the scariest of them. Senna, Karachi and Zafarina. They looked badass in only animal fur and long elegant muscles, not to mention they were taller than most men. They looked slightly feral but with a hint of sophistication and dignity. They were all staring at me with curiosity and it was scary. Edward described them as strong women and that he would never mess with them in his lifetime.

Next were the Egyptian coven. Amun, Kebi, Tia and Benjamin. Only Tia and Benjamin seemed happy to be there whilst Amun and Kebi looked fearful and angry. Well they didn't have to come if they didn't want to... Demetri told me he once belonged to their coven and that Amun was like a father to him. I'm sure he's nice despite the harder outer layer.

The nomads were scattered about, trying to act alienated from the rest of them. I reconigsed two of them immediately, two from Jasper's stories. Charlotte and Peter. They only had eyes for Jasper and Alice and seemed awkward in the whole situation. Mary was a the dark skinned one with a slight impish look, she seemed to be enjoying the tention around the room. She seemed to be swimming in self pride and had a glint in her eye. Randall stood next Mary watching everything eagerly, his pale hands clasped. Alistair was looking at Carlisle with a mixture of relief and irritance, someone woke up on the wrong side of the coven. Wow... I just insulted myself in a way.

"Welcome my friends, I really do wish we would stop meeting because of wars." Carlisle joked, causing us to laugh.

"What's one more war eh Carlisle?" Garrett joked causing another round of laughter. Aro stepped forward, silencing us all by his mere presence.

"It is wonderful that you have decided to help us, this is for the better of our worlds." He said softly. Mary smirked and grinned.

"I've never liked those Romanian buzzards..." She snickered, causing some to smile. Zafarina turned to Carlisle, still keeping her eyes on me.

"You have a new coven mate Carlisle." She stated. All eyes turned to me, making me want to hide like a child. Jasper flashed to my side and slung his arm on my shoulder, dwarfing me.

" This is Chloe, the newest addition to our family." He said warmly. I smiled boldy, not caring if they didn't like me or not.

"Hey, nice to meet you guys." I said calmly. Eleazar smiled slightly, I guess he could sense my gift.

"Very rare gift..." He mused. Aro chuckled knowingly.

" And ties to the Volturi." He said. Ughh standing right here! Charlotte smiled at Peter.

"So this is the famous mate of Alec Volturi." Peter muttered, giving me a strange stare. Alec growled, appearing next to me.

" And what of it Nomad?" He snarled. Can no one see me?! Peter smirked.

" She seems to innocent for you. don't you think?" He taunted. Alec nearly launched forward if I hadn't caught his arm in the nick of time. He stared down into my eyes, freezing briefly before looking away hastily. Well that was strange.

"Ok first of all, standing right here! Second of all, this got to a great start!" I said sarcastically. A few chuckles rang out through the room. Kate giggled.

"And I still want to know what you're gift is!" She said. I started lift all the sofa's and furniture, setting them down gently. Many faces were astounded and shocked, others should be impressed, I'm not bragging. It's just the truth... Zafarina's placid stare turned to a glared as her whole coven fixed their eyes on me.

"She seems very young to be immortal..." She stated suspiciously. Caius smirked, enjoying my anger. I KNOW I'M SHORT, BUT SERIOUSLY!? Before anyone could reply I gave a cold one liner.

"I may be short but that does not mean I'm immortal child. I'm the same physical age as Jane and Alec." I said, making direct eye contact. She looked taken aback by my comeback and the fact that I wasn't scared, her whole coven burst into feral laughter. They smiled wildly at me, the sight beautiful and frightening.

"I like this one Carlisle, finally one with a backbone." Karachi chuckled. Damn right sister! Jane laughed, the sound like bells.

"Way to go Chloe, as per usual losing your temper." She said, trying to embarrass me. I scoffed loudly, turning her pretty little smile into a frown. Turn that smile upside down Janey!

"Says the person who tortures people when she gets slightly miffed." I pointed out blandly. Nessie laughed, causing Jane's frown to get even bigger.

"You need to go to the ward with those burns!" She giggled, fist bumping me. Jane huffed and returned to Marcus's bored side. Nessie and I grinned at each other cutely, trying to ignore Carlisle pinching his nose. Eleazar laughed, patting his friends shoulder.

"Teenagers will never change, just bear through it friend." He said. Yeah teens are pretty bad... HEY!
