The Power of Three [Twilight/Charmed]

Part Two - Chapter Sixteen: The Egyptian Coven

"Are you sure about this?" Paul asked watching his girlfriend, he had insisted on coming to Egypt with her when the groups had all been decided; he didn't care that he was taking time off school since he needed to be with her.

Amelia nodded her head checking herself in the mirror, she was wearing a white dip back blouse and wide leg jeans paired with tan leather ankle boots; she had wrapped a light weight summer scarf over her head to keep her cool.

"Yes," Amelia replied rolling her brown eyes, she turned around and looked at her boyfriend knowing that he was worried about going to the lair of the Egyptian coven.

Paul sighed pushing himself off the bed, he had been worried enough when she had agreed to come to Egypt alone; she wanted to do her part but he couldn't help but worry.

Amelia smiled wrapping her arms around Paul's neck and kissed him, in the eight months that she had been his imprint; she knew that they had been through a lot together.

"I love you," Amelia whispered knowing that with the impending battle against the Volturi, then there was a chance that they had very little time together.

Paul smiled brushing some hair back into her scarf, he had seen a strange change in his girlfriend since had been to see the shaman; he knew she had seen something about their future.

"I love you too," Paul replied his hand moving to remove the scarf, he knew that they had a couple of days in Cairo before they headed back to Forks with hopefully some help.

Amelia smiled realising what her boyfriend wanted to do, they hadn't had much time with each other lately and she knew that they could at least spare the afternoon together.

Paul gritted his teeth at the smell as they waited for someone to answer the door, he didn't like the idea that they were walking into the vampires' lair like this; he glanced at his imprint knowing he would do anything to protect her.

The couple stared a little surprised as a human maid opened the front door to them, she tilted her head confused as she looked between the two; Amelia glanced at Paul before she stepped forward.

"Siamo qui per vedere Amon," Amelia greeted making her boyfriend look at her confused, she flashed him a smile as the maid nodded her head and let them into the house.

Paul raised an eyebrow at Amelia as they were asked to wait in the lounge while the maid informed Amun of their presence.

"You speak Arabic?" Paul asked curiously making Amelia look at him amused before she shook her head, she kissed his briefly lips before she glanced around the room; she didn't want to upset anyone especially since she knew that it wouldn't end well.

"Actually it was Italian," Amelia mumbled wishing that she had actually taken time to learn Arabic, she was hoping that Italian would do right now; she shrugged hearing someone approaching them, she looked towards the door.  

"You must be Amun, Carlisle sent us; he needs your help," Amelia greeted stepping towards the vampire, he frowned at the brunette before shaking his head and looked at his mate wondering why the mortals had been sent to him.

"I have no interest in Carlisle's affairs, please leave," Amun insisted attempting to herd the pair from his home only for water to block their way; Amelia stared at the water in surprise, she hadn't seen anything like this in her years as witch.

Amun glared in the direction of the person who had blocked the way out, he had wanted the witch and shape-shifter gone from his home before they were discovered by his coven mate.

"I'd like to hear about it, I never get to meet any of Amun's friends. He likes to keep me hidden," the vampire teased lowering the water back into its place.

Amelia fought back a smile as she watched the vampire confidently walk around the pool and towards them followed by his mate.

"Benjamin," Amun warned annoyed however it was clear that Benjamin wasn't going to listen to what he was being told; he offered Paul a small look of interest before he turned his attention to Amelia.

Amelia smiled at him, she had a feeling that she knew why Amun had wanted them out of his home as quickly as possible and that reason was now standing in front of her.

"I'm Amelia," she replied introducing herself as Paul pressed his hand against her lower back as a signal that she was spoken for, he didn't want the curious vampire getting any ideas.

Benjamin smiled glancing between the couple, he was pleased to have another person to talk to; Amun was always hiding him away and he only ever had his own mate to talk with.

"I'm Paul, the boyfriend," Paul interrupted glaring at Benjamin, he ignored the amused look that Amelia shot him since they would be able to smell him all over her; she had barely been able to shower alone before they had left their hotel.

Amun rolled his eyes knowing that Benjamin would have no interest in the mortal woman, he crossed his arms as he looked at his mate knowing that this wouldn't end well.

"So what problems does Carlisle have?" Benjamin asked tilting his head, he had never met the vampire that they were talking about but he wanted to help; these were the first outsiders that he had met in a long time.

Amelia glanced at Paul before she turned her attention back to Benjamin, she knew that the only way to explain was for him to come and see Renesmee for himself.

"How would you feel about coming back to Forks with us?" Amelia asked cautiously making Amun glare at her, he didn't know why she was trying to steal away his prized coven member from him but he knew that he wasn't going to allow it to happen.

"Do you think it will work?" Paul asked softly looking at his girlfriend as they waited for their flight to be called; he was a little nervous about getting on a plane with four vampires but he knew they didn't have a choice.

Amelia offered him a small smile, she knew that this wasn't going to be easy, she wasn't even sure herself that the Volturi would stop and listen but they had to try.

"I hope so," Amelia said trying her boyfriend's hand, she was still holding on to the vision that she had seen at the end of her vision quest; she knew that it was a long shot but she was sure that it would come true.

Paul took a deep breath as he brought her hand to his lips, he knew that they were going to have to be strong; he didn't know what the future would hold for them but he knew what he wanted.

"I love you," Paul whispered knowing that if this all went belly up that he wanted her to know how he felt, he wrapped his arms around her glad that they were heading back to America; he knew that when they were back home that he would spend every moment he could with her.

"I love you too," Amelia replied smiling up at Paul, she could feel his love for her and she had never felt anything like it before; she pressed a small kiss to his lips as she heard their flight being called.
