Seraph

When they made it home, most of their friends had left. Only two covens lingered a bit longer to ensure they said goodbye to the female couple: Peter and Charlotte, who gave the couple a quick farewell before disappearing, and the Amazonian coven, who lingered a bit longer. Serafina went directly to the pale male among the Amazonians.

"Hola Danny, it's been a while since I've seen you," Serafina noted. She then gestured to Rosalie, "This is my wife Rosalie. Rosa, this is Danny. The one who worked with Benito a long time ago. He's almost as moody as me."

"I've changed," he explained eagerly but smiled and offered a handshake to Rosalie anyway.

"Really?" Serafina asked with confusion, "Why? I liked that about you."

Danny smiled, "I think I needed to figure myself out. I was trying to be the man's man when I never really wanted to be."

Serafina wasn't sure what he meant but wondered when his epiphany happened, "You found yourself with the Volturi?" she asked.

"No," he shook his head to disagree. I was on a solo mission because there were whispers about a Libishomen in South America." He saw the confusion in Serafina's eyes, so he clarified, "A blood-drinking demon. Talk like that is frowned upon and looked into by the Volturi."

Rosalie and Serafina were somewhat shocked at someone being so careless.

"We had sent groups in the past, but nothing came of those trips. I was getting a bit antsy back in Volterra. I started a few fights for no reason. Felix thought I might need a vacation, so he mentioned the Libishomen, and I decided to track it as my solo trip," Danny told them, "I still haven't found the Libishomen, but while there, I was found by Kachiri and her sisters. Kachiri could tell that I wasn't happy. She helped me see that. I ended up resigning from the guard and staying with them. That's how I found out that I'm gay."

"What a strange thing to realize when surrounded by beautiful women," Serafina noted.

"Exactly! That's how we found out," Senna said with exaggerated annoyance, "What a waste."

Instead of blowing up in anger, Danny laughed. He said something in a language Serafina and Rosalie didn't recognize before the three Amazonian women began laughing with him. Senna began jokingly chasing Danny before Danny grabbed her and tossed her over his shoulder.

"Well, then that's good. I'm glad you have a new family," Serafina said. "I'm sure the Volturi would accept you too, though."

"I know," Danny answered with a smile, "But it would be different. I think I would try to be how I was. And who I was wasn't happy. Anyway, I'm happier with my new friends."

"Sisters," Zafrina corrected.

"Well, it's time for us to be off. We'll say goodbye to the little one and be on our way," Kachiri said before giving the female couple their hugs before making her way over to Renesmee with her coven following her lead.
