woke up in twilight , 1 month before Bella arrives

Alice's POV:

"As for the bridal bouquet I request a round bouquet with white pearls, I will send some over from Tiffany's, together with white roses and also blue ones. The "Blue Moons" will be imported straight from Germany. Not to forget the Swarovski crystals."

"Of course Miss Cullen. Is there anything else?" Asked the florist, Megan Stern. She was one of the best florists of the U.S.A and as far as I could see she would do her job just like I wanted her to.

"That will be all so far. If there will be changes I will inform you about it." I mumbled into the phone.

"Very well. Goodbye Miss Cullen."

"Goodbye Mrs Stern." I told her and hung up while I ended writing the e-mail to the hotel's where Anna's and Edward's wedding could take place. I had to be sure they would meet all of the standards before we went to inspect them.

This was Edward's first wedding and everything had to be perfect. He was such a perfectionist he could almost measure up to me, almost.

"One could think we are married to children." Rose muttered while I was clicking through the newest Hermes collection on my Mac after sending the e-mail's.

I looked away from a jacket that I was definitely going to buy to look over at my husband and my brother who were hollering at the flat screen like their life's depended on it.

"Yeah," I sighed heavily, "too bad we can't life without them."

"So true." She agreed, nodding her head.

"Hey, we can hear you." Emmett protested but did not turn around to look at us.

A smirk formed on Rose's face and I knew she was up for no good. A quick look into the future and I was so on board.

"Alice, can you go on the web-side of Agent Provocateur? I'd like to show you the things I bought yesterday." She breathed in a husky voice.

Out of the corner of my eye I could see that she had Emmett's attention. I could see the muscles in his neck tense and strain. I tipped the name in and clicked on the web-side.

"I bought those red latex stockings. They are a pain to get on but definitely worth it. They go all the way up my legs to my thighs and have those thin long heels." She was breathing a little hard when she said that and I heard Emmett swallow hard. I had to bit my lip to keep myself from laughing.

Jasper was going to lose that stupid video game.

"Shall I show you what I bought last week?" I asked her and I watched my husband stiffen and his breath hitch for a fraction of a second before he managed to pull himself together.

That put a smirk on my lips and fired up my combative side.

"Those white "Europa Hold Ups. They are smooth and like velvet on the skin." Me dressed in white, like an naughty little angle that did bad things to my Jasper.

And apparently Rose's and mine distraction was working because we heard the TV inform our husbands that they lost the game they were playing for over four hours now.

We giggled to one another and then slowly turned our heads to look at our husbands only to see them looking back at us with pitch black eyes full of desire.

Emmett always the impatient one was in front of Rose in an instant while she was giving a show of a helpless damsel in distressed. A really hilarious sight to look at but I had a better sight right to my left.

My horny husband.

I was just turning my head when I heard Jaspers alarmed voice.

"Did you hear that?"

The tone with which he spoke had us all immediately sober. It was the tone he reserved only for situations that were grave. We listened intensely but I wasn't able to hear anything and a look into the confused faces of Emmett and Rose told me they didn't notice anything off either.

"We don't hear anything man." Emmett shrugged.

"But I do feel them coning and they are murderous." My husband stated concerned.

I closed my eyes and searched the future but all I saw was us in the living room which was somehow completely destroyed with weapons in our hands, looking ready to strike. The vision didn't make any sense like the one I had just a few hours ago.

"Alice?!" Rose looked worried at me so did the others.

"I…..I have no idea what is going on," I shook my head getting panicked because I wasn't able to understand why I couldn't see why we were looking like we were fighting when there wasn't anything there to fight against.

"We have no time they will be here in a few seconds." My husband announced as Rose was about to run to the basement to get the weapons but it was already too late.

We heard the front glass wall crash as snarls and growling filled our living room.

"What the...…. how?" Jasper exclaimed confused while one of the intruders was throwing himself at my husband.

I was shocked but I had no time to think about the horrifying picture that had just played out before my eyes because another intruder, a female one, had grabbed my arm and was pulling me to her and away from Jasper.

I tried to use my vision to calculate her next move but to my appal I had to discover that I couldn't see her or any other of the attackers that were clearly in our house.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw that Emmett was taking on three of them while Rose reached for the casket that was resting on top of the cupboard where Esme had the good chinaware.

I turned in the arms of my attacker and managed to surprise her when I pulled her wrist up to my mouth and bit down. The sting of my venom was enough to shock her briefly to let go of me.

I heard a loud crash of more glass being broken and noticed that Emmett had thrown someone out of the window while the female I bit and a male that I hadn't seen before were crouched down ready to strike at me.

I jumped in the direction of the wall where I knew that another anti Vampire weapon was hidden just like the one in the casket that Rose had reached for. During my jump I could see that Jasper had now two opponents to deal with.

Just as my fist collided with the wall I heard a shot being fired and metal being ripped apart followed by painful screeching and roars of agony as the air filled with the sickening sweet smell of Vampire flesh being burned to ashes while purple mist travelled lightly through the room.

The male that aimed for me grabbed my leg just as my fingers got hold of the cool metal of my weapon. I was glad that Emmett insisted that we hide some of the weapons in the house to have them handy, just in case as he put it.

I knew that he only wanted them hidden because he was a big fan of James Bond and ever since he saw the latest movie he insisted on hiding some weapons all over the house.

Esme wasn't pleased at all but eventually gave in into Emmett's begging as long as it didn't disturb the décor but who would have thought that we actually would need that hidden fire amour one day.

The male attacker pulled on my leg and I ripped the gun out of the wall aiming at him and shooting directly at his form then at the female who readied herself to lunge at me.

The capsules atop of the bullets exploded as the lethal projectiles collided with the bodies of my opponents releasing a caustic chemical mix that allowed the bullets to eat themselves through their stone hard skin and release the combustible chemical mix into their bodies.

It took a few awesomely anguishing seconds for them until the chemical fire was eating them up alive from inside out, leaving only ashes, an ugly sweet scent and purple smoke behind.

I looked over to my husband who had torn an arm from one of his attackers while he bit the other in his neck. I shot at the armless enemy. He let go of his hold on my husband at once as the pain of the chemical fire brought him to his knees while Jasper tore the other attacker in half.

I looked frantically around to see if there was another one somewhere but as far as I could see there was no other unknown Vampire around. Jasper came to my side took the weapon out of my hands and shot at the two twitching sides of his previous attacker.

From outside I could hear that Emmett and Rose had everything under control as well. We were unharmed but I couldn't say the same for the living room. It was in pieces just like in my vision.

"What the hell was that?!" Emmett hollered angered when he jumped back inside the house through the destroyed glass wall with Rose hot on his heels.

"I have no idea I didn't even see them coming." I cried.

"How is that even possible?" I shook my head desperately searching for an answer and coming up empty.

I felt my husband's arms around my frame and I felt his anxiousness.

"I knew two of them." He suddenly blurted out.

"You what?!" Rose exclaimed, shooting him a glare. She was irritated about the attack.

"From my days back then in Maria's army. They were her soldiers."

"Why should she attack us?" I wondered not understanding.

"I have no idea." He looked thoughtful.

"We never even came near her damn territory." Rose growled.

"I don't see anything she would gain from attacking or possibly killing us." Jasper was trying to figure out the nature of the attack and the intensions behind it like the soldier that he had been and always will be at heart.

"She gained at least one thing. I'm pissed." Emmett hollered growling dangerously.

"We should…." Only the two words managed to leave my mouth before I got hit by a vision.

*****

"Those two Victorian-chairs would be perfect for Carlisle's new study. Don't you think Anna?" Esme asked Anna as she inspected the rich brow wooden frame that had been waxed and the restoring job that had been done on the two of them.

"We got them in a few days ago. They are rare beauties." The sales man approached the two of them.

"That's Rosewood. The chair was made around 1860." Esme said.

"You certainly know the business." The salesman stated surprised and seemed not really happy at her knowledge, knowing he wouldn't be able to get an overly good deal out of her.

"I'm an interior designer." Esme explained.

"Need my help with anything?"

"I will call if I will require your assistance." Esme smiled friendly. The man nodded and stepped away.

Esme and Anna explored the shop a little more.

"Oh what a surprise. It is nice meeting you again." Esme voice suddenly piped up. I did see her mouth move and heard the words spoken but for the life of me I couldn't see anyone in front of her.....

Just like the attackers just now.

*****

"Alice. Alice sweetheart," Jaspers worried voice led me back to reality as he was lightly shaking me while I rested in his arms.

"What is it? Are there more coming?" Rose asked as a myriad of emotions rushed behind her dark honey eyes.

"Esme and Anna." I breathed knowing that it was already too late.

Anna's POV:

"What a coincidence to meet like this." Esme smiled at him while I was fighting the fight and flee reflex that suddenly took over my every cell.

I didn't know why but suddenly I had a very bad feeling. I looked at the male Vampire again and his sight was giving me the creeps for some reason. He didn't look that creepy in the photograph in Carlisle's study.

I knew that Carlisle and Esme had both big hearts out of gold but really everything about that guy practically screamed NOT TRUST WORTHY.

I couldn't help the bad feeling that made itself known in the pit of my stomach. Something wasn't right I had this bad feeling before with James and Dylan.

Oh great! My mind cheered with sarcasm.

Either everything that happened in the past made me paranoid or we were about to get forced to into another potential lethal adventure.

Quickly I check where the next best exit was but this shop was packet to the ceiling with old furniture. I couldn't really look that far. The only option that was there was the front door. If we needed to escape.

Maybe that was even the best solution. Outside in the public with humans around he wouldn't be able to do much without risking to expose himself.

I stopped that line of though and tried to calm myself down. He hadn't done anything yet so I hoped that I was just overreacting. I tried to ignore the ice cold shudders that run down my spine. Just because he was creepy as heck didn't have to mean he was a bad guy. I tried to reason with that thought but my feeling told me otherwise.

"A coincidence. Indeed." Something about the tint of his voice and the look in his eyes also alarmed Esme as I saw her suddenly step back from him and her smile fell a little.

I didn't know what that was that I was feeling but it felt like my instincts told me to run as fast as I could. As if I was an animal that was about to get attacked by a bigger predator, it certainly was unnerving.

"Well, Sebastian it was nice to see you again but I think it's time for me to leave." She tried to keep her voice even.

"That'll be a good idea Esme." As he said as the door bell of the shop rang out and I could smell two other Vampires entering the store.

So did Esme and she threw me an anxious glance. There was no use in denying the fact that I was with her. Every Vampire could smell that I wasn't human but something similar to a Vampire.

A big, bulky male with short, light brow hair walked into the store. He was a brick wall and barely could make his way through the paths between the furniture.

As he came up to stand behind Sebastian I could see that a tall woman with long blond hair walk out from behind him. She wore a scowl on her angelic face. I suppose that was meant to intimidate me but she wouldn't get lucky there.

She was good at trying to look scary but she had nothing on Rose when she was pissed or tried to give Bella Swan a heart attack when she caught her ogling Edward in the cafeteria or in the hallway back then as we still lived in Forks.

Both of them also had sun glasses on to prevent their blood red eyes to be seen by humans.

"What is the meaning of this?" Esme asked sternly, all her sweet and patient nature gone from her voice.

"You will find out every soon my dear Esme." Sebastian answered clearly amused.

The bulky Vampire made a move into my direction and Esme stepped up to block his path.

"Don't!" She hissed in warning.

It would have been hilarious if the situation wouldn't have been this grave. Small, sweet, gentle Esme was threatening a Vampire that could compete with Emmett's size.

A dark smirk formed on Sebastian's face and the bulky Vampire flexed his muscles, not impressed at all by Esme's warning.

Her brave act was in vain as another male Vampire suddenly appeared behind me grabbing my arm and grinning in victory at me.

"Enough of that. It's time for you to be a good girl, Esme." Sebastian chastised her in a taunting voice.

Esme threw him a dirty and disapproving look.

"Take me and let her go." Esme demanded forcefully.

"I don't think so." Sebastian chuckled amused by her demand as they were forcing us to move.

Four of them against the two of us that wasn't that bad for us but what was bad, was the fact that we were surrounded by humans. Witnesses that were in the way.

I could have used my fire to turn them into piles of ashes or at least sent them into a shocked surprise long enough for Esme and me to run away but that wouldn't go over well in a room full of humans. They would freak when they saw four people burning and the falling apart to ashes.

The Volturi would have a blast with that. Caius would have the perfect chance and reason to erase the Olympic coven if I dared to use my gift.

We couldn't even fight against them the normal way. First that would also get us too much unwanted attention as well and second in a fair fight Esme and I didn't stand a chance. My mind work in overdrive to find a way out of their clutches.

Think simple. Think simple. Think simple. Think simple..... I chanted in my head. Suddenly an idea hit me.

I could scream that they had a gun or a bomb and would get the attention of the other customers. During the panic and confusion Esme and I could make an escape.

Just as I was about to scream a vision overtook me.

*****

"Ahhhhaaaaa....They have a bomb. TERRORISTS!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

In my vision I couldn't see the four Vampires like they weren't there in the first place. Just like in the vision this morning. The other customers were about to start screaming and panic was about to break lose.

But only about to break lose because before anyone of the humans could even make a sound I heard the disgusting breaking of bones and saw lifeless bodies fall to the ground.

I could see myself and Esme struggling but we couldn't get away from our current positions.

*****

I sighed that idea was a dead end. It would only kill innocent people and it wouldn't even be useful to Esme and me in the least.

I pursed my lips. They had me back with my back against a wall in a corner and there was nothing I could do about it right now.

I didn't like the odds at all. I would have to wait for a better chance.

"Now we don't want to make a scene." Sebastian warned obviously done with amused now and the Vampire that was clutching my arm pushed me forward.

Esme growled at him and glared at the other Vampires but she couldn't do anything about it. The sales man looked funny at us but when the bulky one shot him a look the poor human blanched and turned around quickly.

The bell at the front door rang out again as the female opened the door and all what I could do was to wonder how I didn't see this or why Alice hadn't warned us.

Something was fishy. I saw that Esme was talking to someone in my vision but I didn't hear a response and Sebastian had been the one to greet her first.

Maybe he had the ability to be somehow invisible to others gifts?!

Maybe it was one of the other three Vampires? I pulled up Eleazar's gift, one of the easier one's to handle, and checked all the foreign Vampires out.

The bulky one didn't seem to have one except for those huge muscles. Sebastian was a normal Vampire without any special ability as well, so was the one who was holding me hostage but the woman had a gift. Blondie was able to see the present, though her gift was limited to a five mile radius.

That might prove to be useful but I needed a little time for my brain to get used to that ability and it would take extra time to expand the radius. My mind worked faster then a human mind but nowhere near as fast as a Vampire brain.

I had to think fast Alice most likely didn't see this or she would have called Esme or me. If she saw the same thing that I did then she would have only see me and Esme.....

Then it hit me. I never saw or heard anything from Sebastian but I had seen and heard Esme in my vision. I could work with that.

"So tell me Sebastian since you and your three friends are kidnapping Esme and me where are you taking us?" If Alice had a vision of this she would hear what I just said and know who was kidnapping us and how many enemies there were.

"You will see when we are there." He answered smugly, walking in front me with Esme and the bulky Vampire.

"Why are you doing this?" Esme hissed angered.

He turned to look at her as we walked down the pavement and smiled pleasantly at her.

"To get what I want."

"And what would you get out of kidnapping Esme and me, Sebastian?" I prayed that Alice saw this.

He glanced at me briefly but didn't answer.

"You said that you would get something out of it. That means that you are not the head of this whole kidnapping stunt you just pulled on us, right Sebastian." I hoped he wouldn't notice what I was doing.

"You'll know soon enough." He answered this time.

Before I could ask my next question Sebastian and the other Vampire pushed Esme into a backstreet where I also was dragged into.

As soon as we entered the vacant area I started to concentrate to burn those idiots to ashes but before I could start my bon fire I felt fabrics pressed against my mouth and my nose.

Immediately and out of instinct I held my breath. Whatever that wet spot on the fabrics was I didn't want to inhale it but unfortunately the trick might have worked with a human but was in vain with Vampires.

"Holding your breath is useless little one." Sebastian laughed and the others snickered.

"Let her go!" Esme snarled right then but the bulky one was holding her in his vice grip.

I wanted to use my fire but the lack of oxygen was not helpful for my concentration. If I just let the flame go wild there was the possibility that I might accidentally hit Esme with it and set her on fire.

Soon I couldn't hold my breath any longer and gasped desperately for air, filling my lungs with the sweet-smelling scent of chloroform. With each intake of air I was losing my consciousness more and more.

Until everything went black.

Esme's POV:

"Why are you doing this to her?" I growled as I saw my little girl go limb in the arms of that monster.

"I did my homework." Sebastian smirked.

I couldn't believe that the man Carlisle and I considered a friend would betray us like this. Edward warned us that Sebastian was not to be trusted but I would have never expected this.

"What does that mean?" I asked confused.

"I have heard about your little Slayer." He slipped his sun glasses off his face and pierced me with his blood red eyes.

"What are you talking about?" My maternal and protective instincts were on high alert. I had to protect my child.

"Oh Esme, Esme, Esme." He laughed as he shook his head in amusement.

"Word is out on your little, dangerous pet down in the south. I know that you are horrible at fighting and I am not about to take a risk with the little one."

"In the south?" I repeated incredulous. Why did they know about Anna? Who told them?

"You see she is quite a valuable possession. A slayer that can kill Vampires and children of the moon alike."

He seemed to be proud of his knowledge.

"Who told you such lies?" I hissed out.

"While wandering around; I met a French man. The French just talk too much don't you think." He mocked me.

Realisation came crushing down on me. Laurent. It must have been Laurent who told him after he left Irina.

"You see the Volturi, especially Aro will be every interested in meeting the little one." He informed me and if my heart wouldn't have been silent already I would have had a heart attack then and there.

If the dragged us to Volerra Anna wouldn't leave that place for sure. One touch of Aro's and he would be able to see everything in my memories. He would know what Anna really was and where she was from.

Worst of all he would know of her ability.

He would never let her go. She would either have to become a part of his guard or she would have to die. Her gift would be considered to dangerous to let her free, less to let her go back to a coven as big as our family.

My throat was closing and panic was floating my being as I thought about what might happen to my Carlisle and our family should Anna and I set food on Italian ground.

"But don't worry dear Esme you won't be there anymore to witness what will happen with your child." He snort the last two words.

"What do you mean by that?" My eyes were blazing in fury at him.

"The Slayer is my reward and you will meet another fate." He told me coolly while his dirty gaze rested on my youngest child that was lying unconscious in the arms of another male that looked hungrily at her.

"Our ride arrived." The woman called as a black SUV parked at the other end of the backstreet we were in. Just as we started to move I heard a groan.

"She's a tough one." The man who was holding Anna smirked while she opened her eyes slowly.

The venom was eliminating every drug inside her body at rapid speed but she would still be a little besides herself for a few more moments.

"It's time." The one who was holding Anna said and I was pushed into motion.

"Where are you taking us?" I asked when we were all seated in the SUV. They held Anna and me separated.

"South." Sebastian answered.

My mind was making a mile minute but I couldn't come up with anyone that I knew there. Sure Jaspers was from the south but if Maria wanted revenge for his fleeing all those decades ago she would have had attacked already, wouldn't she?

I couldn't come up with anyone in the south that would want to challenge the Olympic coven. We were known as one of the largest coven on the planet and it was highly unlikely that we got attacked by other Vampires.

Of course there are always exceptions to a rule like James and Victoria, who thought that attacking us was some kind of a fun game but the Southerners.....

"Who is waiting for us in the south?" Anna barely choked out.

"Someone who has some business with Carlisle." Sebastian shrugged.

"Someone wants to send Carlisle a warning with this?" Anna rasped weakly.

"What have you done to him?" I hissed in fury and fear for my mate's safety at Sebastian who laughed loudly.

"Nothing yet but they will soon."

My body and mind nearly gave out as I thought about the possibility of someone hurting my beloved husband. That couldn't be happening. It tore me apart to think that someone would do him any harm and made me want to murder that person.

But why would anyone try to harm my Carlisle? That made less and less sense to me. It's not like he had ever made any enemies. Not that I knew of.

As Sebastian turned in his seat to get a better look at my youngest child his necklace came up from under his shirt. It looked like a tooth of a big animal. A little glass vial, filled with a red liquid was embedded into the middle of the tooth. It stuck a little bit out of that tooth.

"They even won't know that you have been kidnap yet." The blond woman said while she smirked smugly at me.

"Excuse me?" I blinked at her.

"Your coven the crystal ball. She can't see us thanks to the children of the moon." She smirked. I was horrified.

"Children of the moon?!"

"Didn't you know Esme. They block your daughters," Sebastian laughed as he used that description for Alice, "ability. She will only see when we want her to see." he explained.

"What has Carlisle done to that person in the south? Why is this person so angry at him that they are taking on a coven of seven Vampires and a Vampire hunter?" Anna asked fully recovered now.

"I would love to tell you but it will be their pleasure to set you into the picture." Sebastian answered.

"How did you even get that Werewolf tooth and blood in your hands and how do you know it does block Alice's ability?" Anna asked.

Sebastian grinned proudly at her and puffed his chest out.

"That my child I can tell you."

I watched Anna intensely and I could tell that she was up to something. I didn't know what my daughter was up to but from the look in her eyes I could tell that she had a plan.

"I can't see as well." The blond woman began.

Was she able to see the future like my little Alice as well?

"You see I'm able to see the present but with those mutts around I can't. Just a bit of their material is enough to block me."

"And the same goes for that little crystal ball of yours. She never saw us when one of us got anywhere near one of you." Sebastian took over.

All of them had children of the moon tooth's hanging around their neck!?!

"The tooth of a child of the moon to block Alice's visions, that's cleaver. But how were you able to take out one of them?" Anna raised an eye brown in question.

"As if they were any challenge." Growled the bulky one.

Anna's doubts seemed to have offended him. He looked like he was ready to tear her into pieces and all I could do was to anxious sit in my seat.

Anna didn't seem to be bothered by his death glare in the least. In this regard she was so much like Rose. No matter what neither of them wouldn't show any weakness.

Rose, my first, my oldest daughter was one of the strongest persons I have ever met. I have always admired her for her will, her spirit and determination though she could be…rather…..difficult at times I wouldn't chance anything about her.

"How?" Anna asked cockily, raising an eyebrow in challenge again.

"You don't think we are capable of bringing down a child of the moon?" Sebastian stated amused.

"Heard that you are afraid of them." The bulky one and the other male growled again.

Sebastian raised his hand and the growling stopped immediately.

"The trick is to find one follow him without being discovered and wait. It would be plain stupid to attack one while he is in his wolf from." Sebastian laughed.

"We just followed the human around and waited for the next full moon." He smirked saying that and leaned forward to Anna.

"During and shortly after the chance they are disoriented and an easy target." Sebastian leaned back against his seat while he looked pleased and proud.

"You only have to use your brain." He said smugly, tapping against his temple.

"Well done. You seem to have an extended knowledge about the children of the moon, Sebastian." Anna gauged him with a calm and high glance.

"Oh the hunter is impressed with my skills and knowledge?" He laughed amused.

"Guess that is a compliment?"

"It is one Sebastian." She agreed.

While they were talking it kind of ticked me off how calm and prudent Sebastian's companions were. He never was one to be member of a coven and he certainly wouldn't have bothered to create his own coven.

So why did they act as if he was their leader?

Why were they following him?

I threw a worried glance at Anna while she looked thoughtful. All I could do was to hope and to pray that my Carlisle was safe that they hadn't kidnapped him too.

From what Jasper told us all over the years I knew that the Southerners were a force to be reckoned with. If Alice hadn't been able to see us there was little hope that anyone knew by now what had happened to us.

There was no way of warning the others about the threat that was swinging over their heads. With a dreadful feeling I watched out of the car window as we entered the private area of the New York air port where an airplane was already waiting for us.

Looking back at Anna I saw her frown unhappily. She must have hope that she would have been able to use her fire to kill those four but with all the air port employees walking around the runway and all the jet fuel for the planes around she couldn't.

She wouldn't have a chance to use her fire in the plane neither seeing as it would set the whole machine on fire.

There was nothing we could do, for the time being we were at their mercy.

Fin's POV:

"I'll get you. Just a second and….No!!!" My brother hollered, starring at the screen with an incredulous expression.

"Who's the best?" Tia asked in high spirit.

Julian whipped his head around to face her and glared.

"Oh right that's me." She stuck her tongue out at him.

"Rematch! This time you are eating my dust." My brother growled at her, starting the game anew.

"Ha! As if, keep on dreaming. I'm the champ when it comes to Mario cart." She announced proudly.

"Right babe?" She called over her shoulder.

"Of course you are." I assured her.

"Traitor." Julian glared at me.

"Maybe but at least a smart one." I laughed.

"You should concentrate on the game or else I will kick your ass right from the start and that isn't that much fun." Tia taunted him.

"Shut up and play." He barked at her.

"Got you where you wanna go if you know what I mean. Got a ride that smoother than a limosine. Can you handle the curves? Can you run all the lights? If you can baby boy then we can go all night. Cos I'm 0 to 60 in three point five. Baby you got the keys. Now shut up and drive, drive, drive, drive…." She started singing Rihanna's song while the countdown was going down and the "go" popped up on the screen.

The two of them immediately started screaming at each other and commenting the race as well as their Xbox skills.

I watched the two of them out of a safe distance with great amusement. I was happy that Julian finally warmed up to Tia I wished I could have said the same about my sister but I didn't think Aya would ever change.

Being the genius that she was made her regard the world differently. Just like some of the human highly gifted people she was living in her own world. She had a brilliant mind but was lacking emotions therefore. For her everything had to be logical and based in scientific facts otherwise she regarded it as an error and dismissed it immediately.

"Eat my dust loser." Tia's words tore me out of my thoughts.

"No, no, no.." Julian was whining because once again he lost. When would he ever learn even with our reflexes Tia was just unbeatable at the Xbox.

While my girl was cheering and my brother glared and growled at her about his loss the loud slamming of a book being forcefully shut got my attention.

Aya stood up from her seat and placed the thick science/medical book that she was reading just moments ago on the table beside her. Aya possessed only two passions. One of them was medicine. She took completely after our father in that regard.

Math and medicine were logical to her and she appreciated that both stuck to certain rules and laws they couldn't bend.

Julian and I on the other hand took more after our mother. We were both interested in finances and law. After all, our mom was the current lawyer of the hospital dad worked in.

Aya looked up and had that look on her face. That particular expression meant one thing. Something bad was going to happen.

"Aya, baby, what is wrong?" Our mother asked concerned after she noticed Aya's expression.

"I have been feeling this strange vibes for a few weeks but now there occurred a shift in the atmosphere. Something evil is happening." She said mysteriously.

Aya wasn't able to see the future like Alice Cullen could nor did she have any visions of any kind but she was able to sense bad thing when they were about to happen. A really strong gut feeling if one wanted to call it like that.

"What does that mean?" Julian asked, all the playfulness gone from his voice.

Aya narrowed her eyes and shook her head.

"I don't know."

"Does it have something to do with our family or the clan?" Our mother asked, jumping into her protector mode.

None would think that my mother could kick ass like none else. She could even make a guy build like a brick wall cry. She has done that more then once in the past.

I looked into the faces of my family members and saw grim and worried expressions.

"Your father will be home soon then we should decide what to do next." Mom told us.

We all nodded in agreement.

First of all no Lycans don't have any special powers. As for Aya's gut feeling someone I once knew also possessed it. It was almost scary how she always could tell when something bad would happen but never knew exactly what would happen but could sometimes tell who would be the unfortunate victim.
