The Power of Three [Twilight/Charmed]

Part One - Chapter Twenty-One: The Graduation Party

Standing inside the Cullens house, Alicia wondered why on earth she had allowed Garrett to convince them to come to the graduation party that Alice was throwing. 

Garrett had been insistent on making sure that everything was in place for the battle against Victoria and the newborns. 

Alicia was wearing nude lace panelled skater dress paired with black heeled sandals; she rolled her brown eyes as she watched people walk around the house in awe. 

"Typical," Alicia muttered shaking her head moving back to Embry's side, he had arrived with Jacob earlier and he hadn't seen his friend since. 

Amelia nodded her head as Paul wrapped his arm around her, she was wearing a raspberry skater dress with eyelash trim paired with silver and gold heeled sandals. 

They hadn't wanted to be here but Garrett had said that it would be good for them to have a night out before the battle. 

"It could be worse," Amelia muttered making the other three look at her like she was stupid, the brunette rolled her eyes as Paul chuckled amused at her. 

"We're standing in the leech lair... how could it be worse?" Paul asked making Alicia and Embry grin as they looked at Amelia, they knew that she was right but right now there was nothing worse than being stood in the Cullens home. 

"We could be... I don't know," Amelia said trying to think of what was worse than standing in the enemies home; her boyfriend chuckled as he pressed a kiss to her neck as Aiden and Leah arrived. 

Leah was wearing a white texture origami dress paired with block colour strappy heeled sandals; she smiled as she wrapped an arm around Aiden as they approached the others.

Aiden raised an eyebrow at Amelia, who seemed annoyed that he had told her that she had to come to this party; he didn't want her home alone with Paul while Alicia and Embry grinned as they talked between one another. 

Leah shifted nervously as she caught a look of herself in one of the mirrors, she hadn't dressed up like this since before she became a wolf and now she seemed to be doing it all the time for Aiden. 

"You look beautiful," Aiden murmured reassuringly as if picking up on his girlfriend's fears, he squeezed her hand in comfort before he kissed her cheek. 

Amelia smiled feeling Paul hold her close, she knew that Leah put up a tough front but it had been months since she had been treated like the woman that she was and not some genetic default. 

Leah was glad that she had imprinted on Aiden, it was exactly what they both needed and it would heal the both of them from the past. 

Bella walked past the group and glared at them before she smiled at Jacob, who stole her attention; Alicia glanced at her sister knowing that one day she was going to ask her to take Bella down a notch or two.

Amelia sighed in relief as she stepped out of the Cullen house, she was starting to get a headache from the music and she wanted some fresh air; leaning against the patio rail, she looked up at the stairs. 

"Carlisle says you're the most powerful witches in the world... but I don't see it," said a voice making Amelia bit back a groan, she didn't have to turn to turn around to know who it was. 

Rosalie had been glaring at the witches since they had arrived and had made it clear that she didn't believe them to be all that powerful. 

"Why don't you go annoy someone leech," Amelia said turning to face Rosalie, who was now outside with her; she didn't know what she would do if Rosalie pushed her too far. 

Rosalie ignored her as she continued to approach the brunette; she didn't understand just how much trouble she was in if she pushed Amelia too far. 

"Your magic doesn't frighten me," Rosalie hissed making Amelia roll her eyes, she really didn't need this right now but the vampiress wasn't getting the message.

"Last chance leech back off," Amelia warned preparing herself to take Rosalie apart, she wasn't frightened of what would happen after; Emmett would probably come after her but she wasn't about to let the vampiress continue to ask like this. 

Rosalie smirked, however she didn't get reply as Garrett stepped out of the house, he looked between the two as he realised that Rosalie was pushing her luck with Amelia. 

"Let it go Rosalie... trust me, you can't win this fight," Garrett said making Rosalie purse her lips as Alice hurried out and stopped her; Alice glanced at Amelia and swallowed before telling her sister to walk away. 

Rosalie frowned as she stared at her sister; she wondered what Alice had seen to make her intervene with her argument with Amelia, it didn't take much more before Alice dragged Rosalie away from the witch. 

"Thanks," Amelia said to Garrett, who nodded his head as he moved to look at the night sky with her; his red eyes traced her figure once then he looked up at the sky.

"So your wolf... does he know about us?" Garrett asked calmly making Amelia sigh and look at him, she shook her head knowing Paul would go mental if he learnt that she had used to date Garrett. 

Garrett raised an eyebrow at her wondering why she was keeping this to herself; he had a feeling that she wasn't going to ever to tell him about them. 

"You two used to date?" Paul said shocked making Amelia's blood run cold, she turned around to see Paul and Embry behind her and she knew that this wasn't going to end well; she cursed wondering how she hadn't heard them approaching.

Garrett smirked at Paul as he watched the wolf shake, he knew he shouldn't but he couldn't help getting under the shape-shifter's skin; Amelia carefully stepped towards Paul, she didn't need this happening now. 

"I can explain," Amelia whispered softly knowing that she had some explaining to do; Paul shook his head before he took off into the trees, he couldn't risk phasing this close to the house. 

"Anger issues... nice choice Ami," Garrett said making Amelia glare at him as she sighed and started to follow after Paul; she couldn't believe that this was how it had come out. 

Alicia appeared and glanced at Embry, she had heard some of what had happened and she knew that Garrett had done so on purpose. 

"Kind of hypocritical... she's spent weeks saying that Bella was wrong to be with Edward but she's dated a vampire herself," Rosalie snipped making Alicia and Aiden glare at her; Edward smirked as Carlisle looked at his children in disapproval. 

"There's a difference... Amelia can handle me since she's a powerful witch, what can Bella do to Edward if he decides to kill her," Garrett said making Edward frown at what he was suggesting; he would never try and kill Bella and he didn't like how Garrett suggested that he would. 

Leah looked at Embry as a howl rang out through the forest; they knew it was Paul and that he was hurting from Amelia's decision not to tell him about Garrett. 

"Will they be okay?" Aiden asked worried for what this meant for his sister, he hated to think that Paul would leave her over something that happened years ago. 

The siblings had never really gotten over what had transpired between them and Aiden knew all too well that there was things in Amelia's past that she just wasn't ready to share with her boyfriend especially her biggest secret.
