Hey peepz! Well here is the next chapter :) Thank you again for the amazing amount of alerts and favourites already. Literally wasn't a moment I didn't get a notification.
elliehandesu : Your wish is my command! I promise a chapter in Alice's POV :) Thank you for the enthusiasm haha.
FaberryBRA : ;) Thanks for reviewing both of my stories and giving me a chuckle.
ParagadeN7 : Thank you for your kind words :) I like a strong Bella. She is the leader of her team. But when it comes to family matter Charlie and Renee have the final say. I hope to keep your interest. P.S. me to ;)
tlc125 : Thank you :) There is definitely something between the two, don't you think?
A special thanks to Loyaldeer for the kind words and inspiration for the next chapter. You should check her out she's written an awesome prequel to her first Twilight story. Much better than mine.
Stephanie Meyer owns all dis. I own this story.
"Well Isabella, can I call you that? Good. Can you please tell us exactly what all of this is about? I'm afraid it didn't come across very clear earlier." Carlisle asked with a kind smile.
"Well, I was sent by Poseidon to investigate a coven of vampires and a group of shape shifters possibly revealing themselves to the humans. We are instructed to stop any blood shed as best as we can. If we cannot make you see eye to eye we are to wipe your memories of the other and relocate both parties. As to what I am, I am a Nereid. I can control water and summon any supernatural sea creature to my aid."
"Wow, I didn't know other supernaturals existed apart from us and the wolves." The pixie said staring at me as a child does a new toy.
"Oh there are many different species in this world. Possibly some even the gods don't know about. Either way each species has a certain role in their life. Nereids for example, are to protect the oceans and their life. Vampires are warriors of Hades, meant for the war with the titans." I replied to the cute vampiress.
"You can't be serious! She is speaking as if these gods really exist! The only god is Jesus Christ and he will not allow you or any of us into his kingdom." Edward is really getting on my nerves now.
"Have you seen or spoken to your god? Because I have. I've eaten Christmas dinner with several of them annually in fact. Why do you believe you won't get into his kingdom? Surely if you lead a good life then he will accept that." I replied to his anguished face.
"We are vampires. Not even you should have trouble figuring that one out." His insult fell on deaf ears. Better not kill him yet, I like this coven.
"Well remember humans have created these myths about us. Wouldn't it be obvious they make a predator such as a vampire evil? I mean you prey on them. All dangerous organisms have earned a sinister reputation among the human society. Take snakes for example. Surely you'd expect the legends and stories of the supernatural to be a little exaggerated. And don't worry you all have souls, if you didn't then you wouldn't be able to realize your true nature is wrong." I finished and looked around at the group of vampires.
I was met with stunned faces all around. Even prick-ward seemed to not be able to argue. Weird, usually a coven of vampires doesn't react to hearing they have souls. In fact it usually leads to violence. These ones truly seemed inspired upon hearing this.
"I like her." The brunette said to the pixie. "I'm happy for you". She whispered which didn't go unnoticed by me.
"Yeah good going AliCat. I bet she's strong. We need to arm wrestle Bella Bear!" Well tree trunk is barking up the wrong tree.
"I think interaction between our two groups should be kept to a minimum." I replied coldly. I separate work and social life. At this all the vampires started glaring at me, minus Edward. I noticed out of my peripherals that the small female was slowly edging her way closer to me. Turning to face the potential threat I was met with the unsure eyes of Alice. Narrowing mine I got off my seat and worked my way to the exit. They were trying to take me out, without the support of Charlie. But I had one advantage, they didn't know about mum.
Carlisle seemed tensed, eyeing Alice suspiciously. Did they not know what she was doing? Speaking of the pixie she seemed to have a decision in mind. Suddenly she surged forward, diving at my mid section. I was too quick for her though and easily avoided her. We jumped around the room, her attacking and me dodging. Where was my mother?! The rest of the coven didn't seem to mind the girls attacking, nor did they help her.
"Alice Cullen! Stop this childishness now." The brunette shouted out. The slight moment of distraction gave the pixie enough of an opening to tackle me. I instinctively shielded my head with my arms. But no attack came. Looking down, Alice was curled around my torso, with her head buried in my neck. She slowly vibrated as she sniffed and purred along the skin she found there.
She was purring! Do I have some vampire attracting perfume on or something? The rest of the coven was chuckling at her display. What is wrong with these people?
"I'd request you get off of me now. Or I will have to burst your leaders' pipes and force you off." I warned the fairy like vampire. She didn't give me a verbal response, only tightening her embrace stronger and snuggling her head deeper into my neck. Growling I gave an apologetic look to the leaders mate and outstretched my hand.
There wasn't any water in the building...of course there isn't! They don't need it.
Growling in frustration I looked deeper in my search for water. Reaching the water table I gathered as much liquid as possible before bringing it upwards. A low rumble echoed throughout the mansion as the water neared the surface.
Outside a geyser erupted out of the lawn. Smiling I swung it around into different shapes to warn Alice one last time. Nothing.
Bringing my hand back I moved the water towards us at a high speed. It was about to crash through the window before it suddenly stopped dead.
Standing in front of the convoluting liquid was my mother with a look of disdain on her face. Of all times to show up!
"Mother get out of the way, please." I asked her.
"I raised you better than to go around smashing peoples houses because you can't get your way." She chastised me. She did not just tell me off in front of the coven!
"But I-" I was cut off as Alice tightened her grip even more, silencing me. Instead I just pointed to the anaconda wrapped around my waist.
"Yes this is an...amusing turn of events. But we will speak of this back at the house." With one final reprimanding look she turned back to the forest.
"Please can you get off me? It's getting uncomfortable." Her eyes widened and she was off me in a second.
"I'm so sorry Isabella, I don't know what came over me!" She apologized profusely. "When you said you didn't want contact with my family I felt like I had to make sure you didn't leave. Only when you said it was hurting you did I finally realize what was happening." She finished her apology by drooping her head.
"Just don't let it happen again." I said while turning back to coven.
"Is there anything else you'd like to..." The whole coven was still gawking at the floating pillar of water ten feet away. Releasing my hold on the magic, the pillar collapsed to the floor. Spreading the water all over the lawn.
"Any other questions?" I asked in my sweetest voice.
"No…I think we are good for now. If you need anything while staying here Isabella please ask." Carlisle politely told me while slowly walking up the stairs. This was the first time a coven hadn't tried to fight back. Let alone want to know more about us.
"Alice, can I speak to you quickly please in the kitchen?" The leaders mate asked with an underlying tone. Alice seemed hesitant, looking back and forth between me and her leader. "Now!" There was no room for questioning this time and Alice quickly skipped into the kitchen.
The rest of the remaining coven eyed me suspiciously, except the big one. He held a massive grin across his face. "So Issy? How about that arm wrestle?" He teased while wiggling his eyebrows.
I had never seen a vampire behave so childishly, almost making me want to accept. But I couldn't let my guard down. As friendly as they seemed they were still dangerous.
"I will have to pass tree trunk man. Maybe if you're all good boys and girls I will arm wrestle against you." He let out a loud bellow of a laugh and slapped his knee.
"I like her! Looks like we won't need inbuilt showers anymore either." I smirked at his bantering. His mate didn't look too impressed. She scowled and glared daggers at me. I answered with my own only holding an air of smugness which infuriated the blonde. Growling she slowly turned back to the magazine which appeared to have materialized in her hands. My victory was short lived as the sounds of an argument filtered from the kitchen.
"I don't care Alice, she is a guest in our house and you attacked her!" The female leader whisper yelled at what I presumed was Alice.
"I couldn't help myself Esme. She was going to leave and the bond was too strong." Alice responded sounding like a stropping child.
"Bond or not you still attacked a guest! In front of her mother no less. Your first impression with her isn't going so well. You march back in there right now and apologize." I couldn't help the laughter that escaped my mouth. A vampire was being told off!
Silence came from the kitchen. Then the sound of rhythmic thumps echoed throughout the house.
"Alice, stop bashing your head off the counter that will achieve nothing. Act you age!" Esme yet again chastised her coven mate.
Fighting through giggles I put the poor vampire out of her misery. "Alice it's fine I accept your apology. Just don't attack me again. My mother won't stop me next time."
"I understand Isabella, please can we just start again? Maybe go for a walk?" I didn't like the idea of leaving while Charlie didn't know. Mother would be able to warn him if things turned bad though. Suddenly the pixie vampire trudged back into the living room with a black mark on her head.
"You've got a little…" I pointed to my left temple where the smudge was on her face. If vampires could blush Alice would be a tomato right now.
"This is really not going the way I wanted it to. Please can we just go for a walk where I can stop embarrassing myself?" The pleading, defeated look in her eyes won me over. There was only one, I could take her.
"That seems to be impossible for you but yes I accept, where to?" The look of relief washed over her.
"I know this beach which is really beautiful. It's only a few minutes away if we run." She said while bouncing on the spot. Energy just seemed to exude from her. "We will be back before nightfall Esme." Did she just ask permission?
"Okay dear be safe. And don't embarrass yourself anymore than you already have. Isabella honey it was lovely meeting you. I will have a meal prepared for you and your families return." She said with love pooling in her eyes. Wow, if this wasn't a plot to poison me this was possibly the nicest coven in existence.
Following Alice out the door I let the magic pool into my feet. Ready to run at speeds which challenge even a harpies.
The next chapter will have Alice spilling her feelings. How will Bella react? Till next time. Review please :)
