The Phantom Wolf

Chapter 113 (Witnesses)

*Pearl's POV*

Edward's group was the first to return. They came with our Denali cousins from Alaska. Minus Irina of course, since she was the one who got us into this whole mess. Why couldn't she just talk to us instead of going straight to the Volturi?!

My brother Emmet, and my sister Rosalie, along with Bree, were the next to return. They brought another coven with them, the Irish Coven. The three vampires who made up the Irish Coven were kind, but they were quite reserved. And although they were human blood drinkers, I actually found that I got along quite well with one of their members.

Her name was Maggie, and she has the ability to sense a lie when one is said. She's basically a vampire lie detector. So that was the main reason her and Maggie's other two members; Siobhan and Liam, agreed to accompany Emmet, Rosalie and Bree. Although Maggie wasn't the leader of the Irish Coven, her judgement was trusted, so they came to witness for us once they realised that we were telling the truth.

The Egyptian Coven was the next group to arrive. That's how I met Benjamin. He has the ability to control the elements. I gotta say, his gift is really cool, but also a little overpowered. He and his mate Tia, were eager to meet Renesmee. Amun and his mate, not so much. They were far more wary of us. Amun was the leader of the Egyptian Coven and he had had a run in with the Volturi before. Apparently, the Volturi's main tracker Demitri, was a member of Amun's coven before he became a member of the Volturi's guard. Amun didn't share much else about it, but all I can say for certain, is that Amun, has trust issues.

Next came the Amazon Coven. They had heard the rumours and had come to see Renesmee for themselves. This coven only had two members show up. Apparently, their third member Kachiri, didn't want to risk a run in with the Volturi, so she refused to accompany the other two: Zafrina and Senna.

Another witness arrived shortly after the two women from the Amazon. His name was Garret, and he turned out to be Kate's mate. So I guess he is gonna become our cousin at some point in the future. Anyway, he's pretty cool, doesn't have a gift, but he has a nice personality and has been around for a long time.

Soon after Garret, a mated pair of vampires showed up at our door. They had crossed through La Push to get to us, and thankfully, Sam's pack kept their word and left them alone. These two nomads turned out to be Peter and Charlotte. They're Jasper's friends. They came to help because of him.

Not long after, we were joined by two other nomads. Their names were Randall and Mary. Apparently they had both, at some point, became friends with dad in the past. So when they heard that he needed help, they came without question. Although the two seemed slightly unnerved by my presence, they didn't leave, nor did they actively voice their distaste for shifters. They just seemed to be overall wary of us. And I can't exactly blame them for that.

As I had predicted, other Quileutes started shifting as more and more witnesses crossed through their land and resided close by. I've had to help a few of them, but all of the new shifters I've met or heard about from Sam and Jacob, have all been younger than Seth. Previously, Seth was the one to hold the title of the youngest shifter. That's no longer the case. I think our current youngest is a little over 11 years old. It's too young to be wrapped up in all of this.

Jacob started helping out as soon as he returned, I've been doing my part, and Sam has been working well with both of us. His pack hasn't been causing anymore issues for me, so I guess my display of strength was enough to dissuade them from trying anything.

After Mary and Randall appeared, it wasn't long before mum and dad returned home. They brought our last witness along with them. A man named Alistair. Just by looking at him, I could tell he was a coward. Whether he's gonna stick around or not, I don't know. But if he does, he'll have my protection, just like all the other witnesses.
