Chapter 11 Fusedtwilight: Thanks to my beta animegirlkiki for betaing. Sorry it took me so long to update guys, I have hit the dreaded writers block for this story. But I have come up with a few idea's. This chapter the Cullen's continue to plane their attack against the mother, EJ and Leah have a grown up talk and the mother continues to grow her army. Carlisle P.O.V It has been weeks since we began to hunt for the mother. But she has vanished. Literally. Alice can no longer see her in her visions. Well, that is not entirely true. Sometimes she would reappear in Alice's visions, but other times she would phase out. Like a TV with a bad signal, one minute the picture was there, the next it was gone. Alice could not figure out why. In the weeks following the mothers release we have all become...edgy. It was not just the tension of the new threat, it was like we had become restless, and we were starting to become more aggravated, I felt like I was turning back into a newborn vampire. The only ones who weren't feeling it was Bella and EJ, they seemed just as calm and rational. Their power must be protecting them from the mother's influence. It was not just us feeling her touch, I had contacted Tanya and her family and they were feeling it too. It was like the mother was forcing our vampire instincts into over drive. So imagine what those of my kind who did not drink animal blood were going through. As Aro predicted the Volturi had their hands full with the nomads. It was like they had all gone mad. They were starting to get sloppy, the news was filled was reports of mysterious deaths and destruction to property that looked like it was caused by a natural disaster. We had contacted everyone we knew. The Irish coven, the Amazon coven, Nahuel and his aunt. All our friends and allies. They were affected worse then we were. The mother's influence was stronger on them then us. When I went to Ireland to find Siobhan and her coven Liam almost attacked me when I got to close to her. Even sweet little Maggie was more feral, she moved more predatory, she looked at me more harshly, like I had done something to offend her. One by one we traveled to warn them. Bella and Edward went to South America to tell the Amazon's about the mothers return. We weren't having much luck finding the mother. Alice had a hard time pinpointing her location and she left no clues as to where she would be next. I was in my study; I was preparing to travel to Egypt. I had to warn Amun and his coven, but I was also hoping Benjamin would help us. The legend says the vampire who defeated her had the power over earth, wind, fire, water and spirit. Benjamin could only manipulate four of the five but it might be just what we need. Assuming of course he can defeat the mother the same way the last vampire did. The legend says the vampire knew magic and used some kind of spell that combined the power of the elements to imprison her. Benjamin does not know any magic, and the fact he is missing the element of spirit may impact his ability to stop her, but we will not know until we try. I know Amun will be furious at me for asking, normally I would not ask someone to fight with me in a war, but if the mother is back it is everyone's war. I know Benjamin will agree, despite his love for human blood he is a good person. I am worried Amun might get violent, normally I would not worry, Amun is more bark then bite, but with the mother influencing everyone's behavior I fear he might snap. The phone rang, pulling me from my thoughts. I picked it up from its cradle and answered it. "Hello?" "Carlisle?" "Alistair?" I asked amazed. Last time I saw him was when he left when he sensed the Volturi coming. "Carlisle, something is wrong," he said, "I fear we are in danger." "What do you mean? Are in danger?" "I don't know...a few weeks ago I sensed a powerful presence pop up somewhere in Greece, then I felt some unseen force brush my consciousness. I felt this presence move to the desert in the east and it has been growing stronger and stronger but the strange thing is sometimes it disappears completely then suddenly reappears. I think it has been influencing our kind, I assume you have noticed our kind seem to be acting more savage?" "Yes I have noticed. You are correct in assuming this force is responsible," I said. "What is it?" he asked. "It is our mother Alistair, the first vampire, wakened from her slumber." "...That doesn't sound good," he said. "No, it isn't. The Volturi kept her hidden, but when they came to confront us some vampires broke into Volterra and stole her and woke her up. Now she planes on vampires taking the world from the humans." "Can't say that sounds bad to me, but why do I get the feeling she isn't going to do it nice and pretty?" "You would be right. Believe me Alistair, you don't want her ruling the world. If you could dream I could fill your head with all kinds of nightmares about her." "Well, why haven't the Volturi tried to stop her yet?" he asked. "We don't know, sometimes Alice can see her in her visions, then other times she just disappears. I don't know if this is a power of hers or if she has found a vampire with some gift the cloaks her. We have been warning everyone we know of her return." "Well, thank you Carlisle, now I know I know to avoid her when I sense her." "You can't avoid her Alistair, the mother has a connection to all of us. She will find you where ever you go." "Maybe, but I never get involved in other people's wars Carlisle, you know that. If I were you I would leave her alone, if she wants to subjugate the humans let her. I have never sensed such a powerful presence from a single being, I doubt even you can stop her old friend." The line went dead and I sighed. I put the phone down. I rubbed my head in frustration. Alistair was right, this was beyond me or any of us. Even with our combined forces it might not work. The mother drew power from other vampires. How do you fight an enemy that draws power from just being near you?EJ P.O.V I rode on Leah's shoulders. We were in the woods with Jake and Nessie. Nessie had run off to hunt a deer and Jake had to chase after her. And I hate to say this, but I am glad she was gone...for the moment. For the past couple of weeks now my sister has become very difficult to be around. She is more aggressive, more frustrated. She was snapping at me a lot and even Jake could not escape her wrath. It had got to the point where we fought at least three times a day. We hardly ever fought, but now it was becoming a common occurrence. Everyone tried to tell me it was a stage we were both going through, siblings fought as they got older. But I was not dumb; I knew something was going on. It was not just Nessie, it was everyone except me and mom. Like Nessie everyone was becoming more irritable, more feral like. Only mom and me seemed to be normal. I knew something was up, but I knew they wouldn't tell me. Since when do grown ups tell kids the truth? I mean did they really expect me to believe a fat man in a red suit went around the world giving presents to good little boys and girls? Leah and I followed Nessie and Jake at a leisurely pace. Leah was in no hurry to join them, neither was I. "Hey Leah." "Yeah?" "What is going on?" I asked. "What does it look like? We're chasing after your crazy sister and her puppy." I never got how Leah was able to say things like that about Jake. The other wolves call him names but they are more humored and well meaning, but Leah has a habit of being more sharp. Maybe it is a beta thing? "That's not what I mean Leah and you know that," I said. She said nothing at first. I knew she was trying to think of something to say that would keep me ignorant of the situation. "I'm not like other kids Leah." "I know that," she said. "Despite my humorous fun loving nature I am mature enough to understand something bad is happening. Nessie, too." "It's fine." "You don't have to keep us safe, you should-" "I said it's fine!" she snapped. She stopped walking. Her angry voice vibrated in the air, I wondered if Jake and Nessie heard us, I am sure they did. "Sorry for asking," I said sullenly. She sighed. She reached up and gently put me on the ground. She knelled down so she was looking me in the eye. I had grown a lot since the Volturi incident but I was still at that height where people had to kneel to be eye level with me. "I am sorry for snapping EJ. We're all under a lot of pressure." her face was soft and gentle. I liked to call this her private face. She only showed me this face, any other time her face is hard and had a frown that made her look mean. I was the only one who got to see this side of her. The gentle, loving side. I don't know why she doesn't show this side to everyone. Everyone else she is rough with, I am the only one she is nice to. Well I guess she is nice to Seth sometimes too. Sometimes. "Because something bad is going to happen?" I asked. "Hopefully not," she said. "But-" "Not another word about this EJ," she said. "Why not?" I asked. "Because grown ups deal with the bad stuff and the kids live in blissful ignorance," she said. "I am not a kid!" I said crossing my arms, giving her the same look mom gave dad when he was being over protective or stubborn. Sadly, Leah was immune to my stare. "Yes you are," she said. "Leah, I will be an adult at seven, I hunt mountain lions and cave bears, I can quote every play by Shakespeare, I can play the Piano and I know how to speak four languages." "Four?" "English, Quileute, Spanish and Japanese." "Japanese?" I bowed my head. "Konichwa Okami-hime." Leah looked at me like I had just sprouted a second head. "What? I like their cartoons. The point Leah, is you need to stop treating us like kids. We may have the bodies of kids, but are minds are sharper then adults. You can't treat us like normal kids Leah, because were not." "Were just trying to give you a normal childhood is all EJ," she said. "You're not getting it Leah, you want to give us a human childhood. Our family was human once, you were human once, but Nessie and I were never human. We were not transformed into hybrids, we did not go through a metamorphosis to become hybrids. We were born this way." "I know that EJ," she said. "Then why do you keep trying to treat us like normal human children?" "Because it doesn't matter what species you are, it is an adult's responsibility to protect a child. There is something bad out and about the world EJ, so bad it is making us work with the Volturi. Its bad enough we have to live in fear, but if we can keep you and Nessie happy and away from it we are more then happy. Trust me EJ, you spend all your child life wishing you were grown up, then you grow up and you wish you were a kid again." "That doesn't make sense," I said. "Trust me, when you are seven, or seven hundred, how ever long you live for you will understand," she said with a knowing smile. I let out a frustrated growl. Leah let a giggle and kissed me on the head. "Don't frown, you look like your dad," she said. She picked me up and put me on her shoulders. "I wish I could read minds like dad, then you guys wouldn't be able to keep secrets from me." "Thank God for small favors," she said. "Hey Leah." "Yes?" "...Can we go to the park?" "What?" "Well...Nessie and I have been talking and we want to meet human kids. I mean if you and everyone want to treat us like human kids might as well let us experience life as a human kid." "I don't know...Nessie isn't in the right temperament." "Mom and dad can come with us, so can you and Jake." "We'll talk about it with your parents." "If it was Jake he would be all for it," I said. "Well I am not Jake," she said firmly. "I know." I kissed her on the top of her head. "I like you just the way you are." "Even though I don't give you everything you want?" "If you gave me everything I wanted things would be boring, at least there is a challenge with you. Jake just folds." "And why does Jake fold?" Leah asked, I could hear the humor in her voice. "Because he is whipped," I said. We broke into little giggles. Jake and Nessie came walking into view. Jake had a bunch of flowers in his hair. Nessie sat on top of his shoulders styling his hair and adding more flowers into his head. He had a very grumpy look on his face; Nessie was humming a song as she worked on his hair. He stopped about seven feet from us and we were quiet. "Isn't Jake pretty?" Nessie asked hugging Jake's head. "I was so afraid he would say no, but he let me make him a crown of flowers." Leah's body began to shake and we both started to laugh. Jake glared at us, his cheeks flushed with anger. "Wow Jake, you look amazing," Leah laughed. "Yeah Jake, Imagine what you are going to look like when you phase into a wolf, you'll be the prettiest wolf in all La Push," I laughed. "Just ignore them Jake, I think you look nice," Nessie said. Jake made a pained smile. "Thanks Nessie." Leah reached into her pocket and pulled out her cell phone. She took a picture of Jake. "What are you doing?" Jake demanded. "Saving a wonderful memory," she said. "Leah, give me that phone!" "Nope." "Leah, give me the phone now or I swear I will...hey get back here!" Leah had turned and began to run from Jake. "After them Jake," Nessie said excitedly. I heard Jake give chase behind us. He was fast, but Leah was faster. Leah managed to keep the phone from Jake long enough to show everyone back home. By then he had ripped the flowers out of his head, but Leah's phone and my power helped share it with everyone. I was glad it happened, we all needed a real good laugh. I had a feeling laughing was going to become a rare thing soon.
Deep in the Middle East The woman sat on a throne carved from stone...literally. Midnight stood next to her. Midnight was still missing her fallen sister Dusk and Dawn. Without them she felt out of place, like she was not complete, but she kept this to herself. She knew her mother would tell her to focus on the here and now. She would tell her, her sisters death were for a greater good. Hollow words meant to comfort an aching soul. It had been almost a month since they turned Dave, and the coven had grown a lot. Some like Dave were troops they had found in the dessert, some were Taliban, some were just people they found and thought would be useful enough to turn and train. They were now in an old abandoned building, a faint remnant of a small village that had been destroyed, or abandoned who knew, the Middle East is full of lost history. So far they had gather fifteen vampires, the woman could feel their power flowing into her, making her stronger. So far Dave was the only one who was gifted, which was a shame. But his gift was powerful and very useful to her. Dave was capable of creating a shield that made him completely undetectable. It was far more then mere invisibility, when his power activated you couldn't see him, hear him, smell him or sense him in any way. It was the ultimate camouflage. Had the woman not had a mental connection she would not be able to sense him, although all her other senses could not detect him, her bond with him made her the only exception. She had to admit, Dave was turning into her star pupil. He had been difficult to tame at first, he was naturally angry at her for 'Stealing his life.' as he put it. He had actually tried to attack her but she easily put him in his place. After that she had taken him hunting, newborns were all the same. They bitched and moaned about loosing their humanity, but once they got a taste of the speed, the power, the blood they quickly changed their tunes. It had taken him a while, but after letting him play with his new found gifts and some spilled blood he loved being a vampire. The Woman directed his blood lust towards the criminals of this land. Those who killed and raped all in the name of their god. The woman thought it darkly ironic how mortals called her and her children monsters when all they did was the same things humans themselves did. The Woman how no illusions that vampires and humans were different. Sure when it comes to biology, but what about emotions? Thoughts? Ideas? After all, all vampires were human once. She herself had been human, a very long time ago, hadn't she? The way she saw it vampires were just like humans, only more intensified. Two of those human emotions had been useful in training Dave. The first was vengeance. His desire to fight the men he fought in his human life was even more passionate as a vampire. At night they would sneak into the desert, looking for roaming bands of such beings. Sometimes they would sneak into city's and towns looking for such men. She didn't let him kill them all, some she kept, after all, she was raising an army and needed soldiers. Plus she promised them to Dave to train. He was absolutely ruthless with them, there were times when he let his rage go to far and he tore them apart, but like all vampires what ever is torn off can be put back on. The second emotion was lust. A personal favorite of hers. Seducing him was easy, he was a man and all men have needs. She had offered him to Midnight, but her daughter was too intimidated by the newborn. The Woman was more then happy to do it herself. Between her looks and Dave's vampire libido he did not stand a chance. It was a point of pride for the woman that she could seduce any man she wanted. Between his lust for blood and lust for her the Woman knew she had him wrapped around her finger. She knew all the newborns lusted for her, how could they not? It was a favored game of hers to flirt with one of them in front of Dave to send him a rage. Jealousy, another useful emotion for manipulation. It helped remind Dave although he was her favored she was not tied to him as he was to her and if he displeased her she could replace him. Although she may cast him from her bed she would never let him leave her. He was too useful. His power kept her safe. She knew the Volturi were looking for her. She could sense them in the dessert trying to track her down. Dave had learned to project his power so he could cloak her, their coven and where they had decided to live. His power seemed to work on vampire powers because when ever she sensed the Volturi were close she would order Dave to project his power and they would lose their trail. It amused her to make them wonder the dessert, trying to find her. If only they knew how close they had come a few times to locating her, a few miles and they would have been right on her doorstep. She knew they must have had their hands full with her children in the rest of the world. As she gained strength her power to influence her children had grown. She had been projecting aggressive behavior into them. Preparing them for the coming war. But there was something odd. On the other side of the world, in a place called America she sensed two separate groups of people. They were vampires sure, but she sensed there was something different about them. Her power of influence was not affecting them like it was the rest of her children. Also, there were a very small group of beings, so small she hadn't noticed them at first that...felt even more different then any of her children. She paid them no heed at first, thinking it a result of her eons long imprisonment. But now as she grew strong the more she realized there was something out there. Something that in her mind tasted of both glorious immortality, and mundane existence. She was going to have to inspect that before she marched onto the Capital of America. As of now there were three groups in her coven. There were the ones like Dave who had been enemies of terrorists and extremists and those who had been of this land but fought against the men of terror, those innocent villagers who suffered at the mad ones hands. Then there was those who had been extremists and terrorists and were now vampires. Finally there were those few who were of the Middle East but did not want to take sides, preferring to stay neutral to avoid contact. Technically they were one coven, but different ideas and old grievances had caused a rift. There had been incidents were Dave's group or the former Extremists somehow found themselves in a fight. All it took was the wrong kind of look. How many times had they fought? How many times had they torn one another to pieces? She did little to keep them from fighting. It was good for them to fight one another. Let them vent their aggressions and helped them hone and sharpen their fighting skills. As long as they didn't burn one another when they tore each other apart. Adding new members always added a new level of instability. Making an army of vampires took time and patience. Even for her. Even with her power to psychically influence them it took time. If one was lucky they could make an army of ten, twenty, maybe thirty. Having a gift that could keep a large coven together helped. The woman being the mother of all vampires was the only one who could boast as to having an army of vampires numbering in the hundreds. She remembered what it had been like to have so many of her children following her, worshiping her, giving her power. Yet again she felt a strong surge of nostalgia for the old days. But soon she would get it all back in more. In a matter of weeks she had a coven of more then fifteen and she was sure to add more by the end of the week. With each new vampire that joined the more power she got. All she needed was five more and she would have enough power to contact every vampire in the world. When that happened she was sure vampires from all over the world would flock to meet her, to join her, to love her as their siblings did eons ago. Dave gave a loud roar and threw the other vampire on the ground. His group let out roars of triumph and the fallen vampires group let out snarls of disappointment. The neutral group gave polite claps, not wanting to make it seem like they were taking Dave's side. Dave grabbed the vampires arm and twisted it, the sound of breaking bone sounded and the vampire roared in pain. "Enough!" the woman said holding up a hand. Dave got up and joined his group. They clapped him on the shoulder and congratulated him. Dave was a natural leader; his group followed his every command. She had been wise to turn him, not only did he have a useful power but there was something about him that made others want to follow. That mysterious aura of command and obedience some are born with. The woman got up off her throne, which was carved from stone, carved by her children to worship her. Her children liked to bring her gifts, expensive cloths from a store, jewelry, a virgin here or there. They all did their best to earn her approval. She walked over to her fallen child, his bones had fixed themselves and his arm was healed, but he had an angry sullen expression on his face. He watched her approach with the expression a dog gives its owner. She smiled and helped him up. "There, there my son, do not let this eat away at you. It took you longer to lose to Dave then when last you sparred with him." she turned to address the others. "Remember all of you; a single loss can be worth more then a victory. With out loss we can not learn, we can not know what to change, what to train on. Continue training, continue to improve and I dare say the time may soon come when we see a sparring match that lasts hours, maybe even days." She returned to sit on her throne. "I am feeling restless this night. I think it is time we all go out as a family and feast." All of them growled in agreement with her words. "Go on all of you, go have some fun, but remember try not to draw to much attention to yourselves," she said. Quick as a flash they all began to leave, to go out in the night and hunt. "Dave my love, a word." Dave staid behind, they waited until everyone was gone save Midnight. "Come to me," the woman said beckoning him forward. Dave approached her until he was a foot away. He knelled in front of her, she leaned forward and kissed him. "You have adapted so well to your new life my sweet," she said. "I was foolish to try and fight it, your teachings have shown me a world more wonderful then I could have ever imagined," he said. She smiled. "I have a mission for you my sweet," she said. "Anything," Dave said. "I need you to travel to the west of here, to Africa, to Egypt. I sense there is a coven there; it consists of four individuals, very unusual for our kind. I sense one of them is gifted, his power is disturbingly familiar to me, I would learn more about them." "You want me to spy on them?" Dave asked. "Yes, then come back and report what you see," she said. "But what if the Volturi find you while I am gone?" he asked, sounding fearful by the idea. "Don't worry, I can sense their every move, if they come to close we will leave." She kissed him on the head. "Now go, and be quick, it gets so lonely with out you by my side." He kissed her again and disappeared. She could still sense him, she knew he had left the building and was heading for Egypt. "I hate it when he does that," Midnight says. The woman smiled. She said nothing, just sat at her throne and waited, taking pleasure in the quiet and peace that had been lost to her since she made this coven. Midnight said nothing, knowing her mother needed some private time. The Woman contemplated her next move. Five more and she would have enough power to broadcast a message to every vampire in the world. Then her children would all come flocking to her, she would have her family again, then she would put the humans in their place. She would punish the Volturi for the crime they have committed against all of vampires. Forcing them to hide in the shadows, as if they had anything to fear from humanity. A new age was coming, an age of vampires. It was going to be wondrous.
Fusedtwilight: Next chapter Carlisle goes to speak with Amun and his coven, Dave tries to find the Egyptian coven and EJ learns more about Leah's past. Please review.
