Seraph

Serafina stood on an overlook with Yvonne surveying her territory. Both had the most uncomfortable expressions as they glared toward her home. Yvonne had already almost become violent when feeling multiple eyes on her while entering this forest, and she hadn't even felt other vampires' presence at the time. However, she felt some supernatural presence prowling. The only reason she didn't go on the offensive was because of Serafina's nonchalance towards it.

But even Serafina looked as though she didn't want to move forward toward her own home. The two were barely within the home's range and could sense many vampires on the property. It was an uncomfortable feeling.

"I take it back. I don't want to help you. I want to go home and finish knitting my blanket," Yvonne grumbled. "You don't even need me. You have so many people down there. It's gross."

"You think I like that any more than you do?" Serafina asked angrily, "That's my house! I bet that fucker Garrett is there hitting on my wife! Plus, my stuff is there! What if any of those wandering nomads touch my shit?"

Yvonne could see and feel Serafina steam with her anger. She decided to take a step back. "How long has it been since you've seen your wife?" she asked suspiciously.

"A week," Serafina gritted. Her eyes were wild as they glowed while staring at her coven's home.

"Oh shit," Yvonne whispered lowly to herself before turning to Serafina, "I know you didn't bust out your phone in this time or ask to use my landline, probably trying not to distract them from what they're doing. So a week without seeing your mate and now knowing that she's in a house full of vampires that aren't your covenmates, what the fuck are we still doing here? If you don't see her now, you're going to kill us all!" Yvonne retorted as she began shoving Serafina toward her home.

Serafina didn't resist anymore; she knew it was true. She had been on edge the entire trip. She wished she could stay with her wife throughout, but she knew the decision to split up was best.

As the two neared the home, the vampires present were all alerted. But Serafina still didn't sense the one she wanted until she felt a sudden tug from the opposite part of the forest on the other side of her home. That vampire was moving quickly, and Serafina felt her guard relax completely as her wife sped into view. Rosalie let out an excited squeal as she leaped into Serafina's arms for a kiss.

Rika excitedly rejoined Serafina, though in secret. Serafina knew it would only be temporary, as she would not trust the others with her wife's safety. However, she did plan on never leaving her side again any time soon.

"Why didn't you tell me you would be back today?" Rosalie asked after being put down. She continued peppering Serafina with kisses while awaiting her response.

"I didn't want to call the house and you not be here. What if Edward or Bella answered? I would probably have to kill them for annoying me," Serafina pouted.

"You could always just kill yourself and do everyone a favor," Bella answered from the home. Serafina could hear some of her family approaching.

"The girl got a backbone with the change," Serafina frowned as she explained to Yvonne, never relinquishing her hold on her wife, "It was not for the better. I think I have to kick her ass again."
