Expect The Unexpected

Chapter 7

1933 Rochester, NY

"Tanya if you wanted to go to a party why did you pick a formal ball with the Cullens of all things?"Kate asked Tanya as pair entered a ball room with the rest of their coven. Kate didn't like the Cullens and never understood why Tanya insisted on remaining friends with them. Especially after Carlisle turned Edward. The man was annoying enough before hand but after turning the boy he became unbearable. Edward was known to annoy Kate to the point of her using her gift on him regularly. Kate enjoyed not only causing him pain but the many attempts he made to try and fight her. That was the one thing Tanya didn't stop her from doing. If Edward picked a fight Tanya let it happen and even stepped in when Carlisle tried to break it up. Even fights with Edward weren't enough incentive to spend the evening in public with the Cullens though.

"I thought it would be a good idea to see who the Cullens are spending time with."Tanya lied. The real reason they were at the ball was because Rosalie was supposed to be there. When Tanya got Isabella's message with the date and time of the meeting she had to stop herself from searching the girl out right away. Both Tanya and Isabella had been waiting for this moment for centuries and now that it was coming true even having to be around the Cullens couldn't put a damper on her mood.

"Are you sure that's the real reason?"Anne asked.

"What other reason could there be?"Tanya looked around the room but hadn't caught sight of Rosalie yet. There were to many human bodies smelling of sweat and various perfumes and colognes covering up her mate's scent so that was no help.

"I have a feeling this is one of those instances when we go somewhere randomly and something life changing happens."Irina wouldn't be surprised if Tanya was the one who organized the ball just for this night to happen. Her coven leader never did anything on a whim. Even if Tanya tried to act like she did. Victoria's presence next to her being proof of the many things Tanya just stumbled into accidentally.

"Should we go search out Carlisle?"Carmen was thinking the same thing as Irina. This was definitely not a random visit. Tanya had been to excited to be visiting their cousins. Something all of them hated doing. Carmen shook it off. After so long she had gotten used to random things happening everywhere Tanya led them. She went along with it because Tanya had never steered them wrong or put them in danger. She usually was getting them out of trouble so it was easy not to question things.

"If Tanya is making us be around this many uptight humans then there is no way I'm dealing with Carlisle tonight."Victoria wasn't pleased that they had be at ball when there were many good clubs around the area that they could dance to good music and have fun at.

"I'm sure Edward would love the chance to dance with Tanya."Kate said.

Tanya let loose a low growl before catching herself."If after tonight that boy doesn't get it in his head I'm not interested in him then I will beat into him myself."

"What's going to make tonight so different?"Eleazar asked.

"Nothing."Tanya cursed herself for letting that slip.

Kate rolled her eyes at Tanya."Why don't you just tell us what we need to do to help your plan succeed."

"I don't have any plan."Tanya was being truthful. All she knew was that Rosalie was at the ball and she needed to find her.

"Sure you don't."Anne didn't believe that for a second. Tanya was always scheming.

"I really don't. Now let's mingle with the humans a bit."Tanya grabbed Kate's arm and led her through the crowd. She ignored every person who attempted to get their attention.

"I don't think rushing around the room dodging humans is how you mingle Tanya."Kate said as she pulled on Tanya's arm to slow her down."People are staring at us now."
