Chapter 3: First Meeting

(AmPOV)

I stopped in Seattle in order to feed one more time before I headed to Forks. I knew that I would not be able to feed once I got there, because even though the coven doesn't feed on humans, I will still be in there territory. Never feed in another's territory unless you're looking for a fight. I was definitely not looking for a fight. When I was done feeding, and my kill was sufficiently cleaned up, I hopped back on my bike to finish the last leg of my journey. While I had been in Chicago I had taken the liberty to get myself a nice little three bedroom house in the Forks area. I drove into the tiny little town covered in green and fog. It had started to rain, so I had put my helmet on in order to keep up appearances, even though not many people were out. I observed the town as I was driving to my house. I noticed that there wasn't much in this town. I sought out the grocery store since I needed to go buy things to keep up my human charade. I decided that I would need to make a trip to Seattle in order to go shopping.

I pulled up to my house and just parked my bike out front, not even bothering to take it to the garage. I grabbed my keys and bag, and headed inside to check the place out. It was a two story with three bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It also had an office. I decided to make that my studio. I walked into the kitchen that I would never use. The cabinets were cherry wood with granite countertops. Brand new stainless steel appliances. It was a beautiful kitchen, and it's a shame it won't ever get used. The master bed and bathroom was downstairs. I walked through the living room into the bedroom. It was big with creamy white walls and a giant walk in closet. The master bath was en suite. It had granite countertop, just like the kitchen, but white cabinets and doors. The two other bedrooms were upstairs. I would go and check them out later. I walked out of my room into the office room. I would use this for my art.

I decided to go and visit the coven before I didn't anything else. Wouldn't want them thinking I'm a threat now would we? I head out into the forest that surrounds the right side of my house. I was running when I smelt two vampire's scents. The smell of fresh deer blood permeates the air. I'm guessing it's two of the animal drinkers. I approach them slowly. I hear them whispering to each other, but can't make out the words even with my sensitive hearing. I'm guess they were discussing if I was a threat or not.

"Who are you and what do you want?" A loud booming voice called out to me.

I pick up my pace a little in order to get there faster so we can see each other. I found them in a small clearing that deer would usually bed down in. The vampire that had called out to me was huge. He was like a mountain of muscle. He had unruly short brown curls. His size was intimidating, but I could tell he was a big teddy bear from the dimples I could see even with a serious expression on his face. The other vampire was a beautiful blonde bombshell. She was at least four inches taller than me, standing around 5'9. Her silky blond hair waved to the small of her back. If the protective stance the man was in was any indication, than I would say the blonde was his mate. 'Too bad' I thought. She had the kind of beauty that would kill any girl's self-esteem by just being in the same room as her. They both had amber eyes.

"My name is Amanda. I just moved to the area and I had heard about the fabled animal drinkers and decided to see if it was true. Judging by your eyes, I would say it is. I don't mean any of you harm. Nor do I wish to encroach on your territory. I would just like to talk to your coven about your lifestyle."

"Are you alone?" Muscle man asked. I nodded my head in the affirmative. "Very well you can follow Rosalie and I back to our house to talk to everyone. My name is Emmett by the way. Rosalie is my mate." He informed me.

"Nice to meet you Emmett, Rosalie." I nodded to them. We took off running.

"It's a good thing everyone is already home." Rosalie said to Emmett.

We arrived at their house. Well, mansion is the more appropriate term. We entered through the back door as Emmett called, "Carlisle, Esme, Jasper, Audrey, Edward, Katie, Alice. Can you meet us in the dining room please? We seem to have some company." They led me to the formal dining room where six people were already seated around a large oak table.

At the head of the table sat who I assumed to be Carlisle, the coven leader. His golden blond hair was slicked back and he had a very calm expression on his face. His golden eyes showed nothing but kindness. I doubt he had a violent bone in his body.

On his right was a caramel haired woman with a heart shaped face. She just exuded motherly energy. I could tell that she was a very loving person, and very protective of her family. Her golden eyes were full of motherly affection.

Next was a tall, leonine, honey blond male vampire. His neck and jaw were ravaged with scars. Nowhere near as many as me but he still had a lot. He had to have been in the Southern Wars as well. I could sense he had an extra ability. I concentrated on him and discovered he was an empath. Ah! This must be Major Jasper Whitlock. The God of War. Everyone who was in the wars has heard of him. He's said to be second in fighting ability only to the Goddess of War, who just so happens to be me.

Next to him was another blond female. Her hair was almost white. She seemed a bit wary of me. It was probably because of my scars and my ruby eyes.

After that blond there was a brunette who looked to be bored. Her features told of her Mexican ancestry. She was holding the hand of the last vampire sitting at the table. He had weird bronze colored hair. He wore a slightly frustrated look and as I focused on him I knew why. He was a mind reader and my shield blocked him. I smirked when I came to that conclusion. His eyes narrowed and my smirk grew.

The man who I assumed to be Carlisle broke the silence. "Hello. I am Carlisle and this is my wife Esme," he gestured to the caramel haired woman. "My son, Jasper and his wife Audrey," the two blonds at the table. 'I was right about him being the God of War' I thought to myself. "My son, Edward and his wife Katie," the brunette and penny head. "My daughter, Alice, should be back soon. She has just gone hunting but I sent her a message to let her know we are having a family meeting with a visitor." He smiled warmly at me. "So if you would please have a seat we can get started when she gets here."

I took a seat at the other head of the table across from Carlisle. "It's nice to meet y'all. My name is Amanda. I'm curious about the lifestyle you live. I'll save all the important things like backgrounds and abilities until Alice gets here."

We sat there waiting for Alice to get home for about five minutes before we heard the front door open. "We have a visitor? Who? Anyone we know?" A beautiful musical voice floated to my ears. I turned to look at the doorway that leads to the dining room right as a figure blurred around the corner. She stopped in her tracks when she looked at me. She was the most gorgeous person I have ever laid eyes on. She was about 5'2, with short, spikey, black hair that I just wanted to run my fingers through. I wanted to see if it felt as silky as it looked. Her hair had that thoroughly fucked look. She had small delicate features that gave her the impression of being a pixie. Cute button nose. Perfect pouty, cherry red lips that looked so utterly kissable. I flicked my eyes down her body taking in her designer clothes that hugged her perfect curves. She was absolutely perfect. Not even Rosalie or Heidi could compete with the little pixies beauty. My eyes traveled back to her face. Her golden orbs connected with my own crimson ones. I suddenly felt as if I had to protect her, had to do anything in my power to make her happy. I felt an instantaneous connection to her. I wanted to be near her for the rest of eternity. Does she feel any of this too? Her eyes are swirling with some emotion that I can't identify.

"Hello. You must be Alice. I'm Amanda. It's nice to meet you." I smiled at her.

My voice seemed to break her out of a daze. "Oh hi. Yes. I'm Alice. It's nice to meet you as well."

A/N: So that was chapter 3. This is the first meeting from Amanda's POV. The next chapter I write will be from Alice's point of view. I think you should totally scroll down and click the review button. Sound like a good idea? Then go for it! :)
