The Power of Three [Twilight/Charmed]

Part One - Chapter Sixteen: The Council Meeting

Amelia brushed some hair from her face, this was going to be difficult and that the Quileute council weren't going to be happy with the sudden changes within the pack that had occurred. 

Sam had disappeared sulking about what had happened and the siblings hadn't been surprised when he refused to acknowledge the pact that Jacob had with them; he didn't like that his concerns had been brushed away. 

"What do you see?" Aiden asked quietly making Amelia look at him; they were waiting to be called into the council chamber so that they could talk to the Quileute council. 

The pack all looked confused as they turned their attention to the brunette, who crossed her arms as she glanced at her brother annoyed that he had mentioned her gift of foresight. 

"This isn't going to end well," Amelia muttered making Aiden chuckle shaking his head amused what she had said, Paul looked at his imprint confused before Sue Clearwater appeared a told them to come inside. 

Alicia flashed a nervous look at her siblings before they headed into the council chamber; Jacob swallowed leading the pack into the chamber followed by the siblings. 

It was clear to see that the older council members weren't happy to see the three siblings standing in their presence; Amelia was probably going to be right again. 

"What are they doing here?" old Quil spat making Paul and Embry move closer to their imprints; Aiden glanced at Leah, it was clear that this was going to be difficult. 

"They have agreed to help us deal with Victoria," Jacob said nodding at Aiden and his sisters; old Quil pursed his lips as he looked between the three siblings, he didn't think that they could do much.

"Why should we trust the pale faces when we have the pack," old Quil sneered making Aiden frown at the old man; he could see why Amelia had thought that this wasn't going to end well.  

It was clear to see that they were being judged and that the council thought that the wolves were superior to the siblings. 

"Because our family has been doing this for over three hundred years, it's in our blood as much as shape-shifting is in yours," Aiden replied making old Quil frown at the fact that the pale face had spoken in their council meeting. 

"We are descended from spirit walkers," old Quil stated proudly as if that fact alone made them better making Alicia roll her eyes at his thought that they were unique in that factor; Alicia closed her eyes and allowed herself to be projected across the rooms. 

"You're not the only ones," Alicia's astral said making the council jump before they looked between the spirit form and her real form. 

Alicia stopped her projection and grinned while Amelia glanced at her sister, while the council stood shocked at what she had been able to do; they had never seen anyone with this form of power before. 

"Can you all do that?" Billy asked making Alicia shake her head before glancing at her siblings; it was clear that this council knew nothing about the supernatural world.

"Why has Sam been removed as Pack Alpha?" old Quil asked looking over at Sam, who was sat beside Emily away from the pack; it was clear that neither of them were happy with this turn in events. 

Jacob took a nervous breath stepping forward and looking at the council, a lot of them had favoured Sam but what the older wolf had done was unforgivable. 

"I stepped up as the alpha since Sam was becoming a threat to several of the imprints," Jacob revealed as old Quil moved to glare at the siblings. 

Amelia rolled her eyes, she didn't need her empathy to sense the amount of hatred that he had for them; it was perfectly clear that he had preferred Sam as the alpha and that he wasn't going to warm to them at any point. 

"Is this true Sam?" Billy asked with a frown, his eyes glancing at Emily's scared face and wonder why he would risk angering one of his brothers by doing that to someone else. 

Sam looked down at his hands, he was wrong to attempt to attack Amelia but he had seen her as a threat and her powers were stronger than any of the vampires that they had ever faced.

"Yes, I saw Amelia as a threat after she had shown me the hatred that my pack had come to have for me," Sam admitted softly making the elders look confused, they turned their attention to Amelia for answers about what she had done to Sam. 

"I'm empathic... I can feel and understand other people's feelings and emotions; it's slowly developed to the point where I can project the emotions," Amelia explained making the council stare at her; they hadn't expected the siblings to have such different powers. 

Paul gently brushed a hand against Amelia's, making several of the council look at the two of them; it was clear that Paul had imprinted on Amelia. 

"How do we know that we can trust you? We know nothing of the three of you," old Quil questioned making Aiden frown as Leah stood next to him; it was clear that this wasn't going to be easy. 

The old Quileute wasn't going to make this easy for them, it was clear that he was one of those people who were stuck in his ways. 

"We are descendants of Melinda Warren; our family name strikes fear in to evil beings and has done for hundreds of years, we are the Charmed Ones," Aiden said as the colour drained from several council members faces, they knew of the Warren line and it was clear that they knew it well.

Paul glared at old Quil, it was clear that this wasn't going to end well and that the council member agreed with Sam about not trusting the siblings. 

Embry wrapped his arms around Alicia, who cuddled into his chest; this was going downhill fast and that this was going to end badly like Amelia had predicted. 

"I vote that we ban the Matthews from La Push," old Quil called making Paul and Embry snarl at him, he smirked at them before turning his attention to the other council members. 

Leah stared at her mother as she felt Aiden place a comforting arm around her, he looked at Amelia and Paul; he had a feeling that Amelia wasn't going to stand and listen to the old man for much longer without lashing out. 

"Listen we need their help... if we want to stand a chance against Victoria then we need their help," Jacob pleaded making his father frown, from what they had seen from the siblings they wouldn't stand a chance against a vampire even if they were from the Warren line. 

Alicia bit her lip as she looked at her sister, who was glaring at old Quil; he was starting to grate on her nerves and it was clear that it wasn't going to end well. 

"We don't need anything from them," old Quil stated proudly making Paul tighten his hold on Amelia, as she glared at the old council member before she took a deep breath and focused on the vase across the room. 

In a split second it smashed making everyone jump and look at it, Aiden glanced at Amelia, he was grateful that she hadn't attempted to take out the council. 

Old Quil pursed his lips looking between the siblings, he wasn't going to rest until his tribe were safe from these witches; they were superior in every way to the so-called Charmed ones.
