The moment we stepped foot into the cold ones’ home I was on edge - every single vampire in that houses could kill me at this very second and there was very little I could do to protect myself, even transforming into a wolf may have done very little in my defence as I could be easily overpowered.

In short - I was afraid and I was extremely aware that every single vampire in this house knew it too as my heartbeat sped up with nervous jumps each step closer to the threshold of the entrance, even Esme’s warm smile, which I had become familiar with in recent events as she attempted to forge a friendship with the pack, did little to soothe my nerves as I neared the home.

I knew as soon as I reached the door there was no going back - I would be defenceless and- “Y/N! You made it” Esme interrupted my spiralling trail of thought as I reached her “Jacob, Seth and Leah are in the kitchen, they’ve met a few of our guests and were hoping you’re feeling ready to join them?”

“Hey Esme” I greeted, nearing her with a small grin, she always was so happy and positive, it was hard not to like her makings instantly. She was so alike my own mother, Sue, as she was always pottering around the home, making sure her family were cared for and crafting a loving environment for them to simply exist in - that was the thing I really liked about her: she never expected you to do any more than you were comfortable doing. “ Sorry I’m late, Emily needed help with lunch so I-“

“No need to explain yourself to me dear, I’m just happy you’re here” she grabbed my shoulder and gently guided me through the threshold of the door and led me to the kitchen making soft conversation about my morning and soothing any worries I still held tight in my chest. “Seth? Leah? Y/N is here” Esme exclaimed as we neared the spacious room.

“Y/N!” Seth exclaimed as he bounded over to me, bundling me up into a bone crushing hug as soon as I emerged from the long corridor “I’ve been waiting for you” he sang as he led me over to a curly, blonde haired vampire.

She was sporting warm winter attire, dressed in fur and suede while her eyes were a sharp golden - an indication she preferred Bambi over baby, which made me relax into Seth’s arm which was now placed over my shoulder, “This is Tanya, she’s a part of the Denali Coven” right, the gorgeous blondes from Edward and Bella’s wedding.

“I’m Y/N, it’s nice to see you again” I greeted as we stepped in don’t of her near the kitchen island in the center of the room.

“It’s very nice to see you again Y/N, Seth was just telling me you’re still a part of Sam’s pack?” Tanya made small, polite conversation as she smiled brightly at me.

Taken aback by her beauty I mustered out a small “Yeah, I’m one of the most recent transformations so I thought it’d be better for me to stay with Sam as he’s been an alpha for so long, I though he’d lead me down the right path - no shade to Jacob though, he’s great” I laughed quietly as Seth nodded and Tanya smiled between the two of us.

Eventually I took a seat at the island, content to watch my brother and the beautiful vampire interact when a voice shocked me out of my concentrated stare - “What are we looking at?” the unexpected visitor asked as he leaned over my shoulder to find the source of my interest.

“Wha- you scared me! You shouldn’t sneak up on an unsuspecting person in a house full of vampires!” I exclaimed as I shook the fear and surprise out my shoulders.

An easy laugh eased me out of the tense curl of my shoulders “Sorry, I always forget how easy yous startle, so unaware of our presence - I’m Benjamin, you?” the man, Benjamin, introduced himself as if he hadn’t just scared the shit out of me, reaching forward to shake my hand.

“Y/N” I answered, placing my warm hand into his cold one and quickly letting go, once again startled by the spark that spread through where our hands met, excusing my reaction as a startle to his freezing temperature.

We continued making quiet small talk until Edward called for a meeting in the living room, an area that quickly became crowded as vampire after vampire filed in as we went our separate ways to meet our respective groups.

“The Volturi believe we have created an immortal child - a lie you now know is untrue as you have all met Renesme, seeing her as both human and vampire at once. I know this may be frightening to some and threatening to others but yous must believe us when we tell yous we only ask for your trust and belief - it will help us in our quest to make the Volturi see the truth…”

As Edward rambled I cast my eyes around the room, the nomads and the different covens were easy to decipher, the Denalis, the Africans, the Irish, the Romanians and eventually - the Egyptians.

They caught my attention as I studied them - there were four of them, two men, Benjamin and the other I did not know the name of and two women, who I once again did not know the names of. Yet as I stared the older if the two women turned and looking straight back at me, as if she had sensed my attention stuck in them.

I tensed as she stared back at me, before slowly smiling and nodding at me, I stared back frozen and bewildered as the beautiful vampire turned once more to face Edward, suddenly forgetting how to breath or blink.

Those bright, blood red eyes scorching themselves into my mind as I continued staring at her in my trance like state.
