Black Nebula

True Lies

We ran back to the house where we decided it was best to reconvene for the explanation. Edward thought it was best that the wolves were informed that everything worked out, and that we were fine.

Edward sat on the white armchair and I thought the best comfortable seat was his lap. Edward kissed my neck and let his teeth graze my skin. Hmm, why weren't we married already?

Everybody else sat beside their mates except for Irina and her two friends. "So, where would you like me to begin?" Irina said first.

"How about when you decided to go off with Irina. We're pretty much caught up until then. What made you change your mind?" Alice wanted to know why she wasn't able to see anything till the last minute.

"Oh, right. Well sometime after you left Alice, Victoria came looking for Laurent, but I told her what had happened. She convinced me that the wolves needed to die and that she had a plan that would get me close enough to them so that I could carry out my revenge. She showed me her army, and it was quite magnificent from a warring point of view."

"Is that where you met these two?" Carlisle asked interrupting Irina.

"No, these two really are my friends. They come to visit me in Alaska from time to time. They were actually there when Victoria came back." She pointed to the tall one, "This is Jordan. And this is my friend Hilary." I got a closer look at the two vampires. Jordan was tall and had long curly brown hair with red and blonde highlights. I'd never seen freckles on a vampire before, but they looked absolutely adorable on her. The other vampire, Hilary also had long brown hair, but hers was straight. She was a little bit taller than Alice.

"Now understand, I really did want to go after the wolves, but Hilary reminded me something that I had told her about your visit Alice. You had told me that even if you and your family had stayed, you would have done the exact same thing as the wolves, and killed him. Once she brought that to my attention, I struggled with it for several days before I realized that no matter what, Laurent was meant to die that day. Not because of the wolves, or you, but because of Victoria."

"I told Hilary and Jordan that Victoria needed to be stopped, but I couldn't figure out what to do with the newborns. We couldn't exactly leave them be. Jordan was the one that said we should coax them to keep fighting amongst themselves and let the numbers dwindle down. Victoria had no idea what she was in for. And I got my revenge against the person who really killed Laurent."

"I'm sorry for your loss Irina. I know what it means to lose your soul mate." Edward voiced.

"Yeah but she came back to you." Was Irina's solemn reply. "But thank you Edward. Your condolences still mean a lot to me. Well I believe I've done my part, I'm going to go home. I really miss my sisters. Jordan? Hilary? Are you coming?" Irina was already at the front door and paused only to see about her companions.

Jordan and Hilary looked at each other, and then shook their heads. "No, if it's okay with the Cullen's we'd like to stay with them for a while." Jordan said.

"Yeah, Alaska's too cold for us!" Everybody laughed at Hilary's statement. We couldn't actually feel the temperature so it was funny when we joked about it.

"Well you're more than welcome to stay. We should discuss our next move anyway, we can't exactly stay in Forks much longer anyway. We'll work you into the story somehow.

Jordan and Hilary took turns saying goodbye to Irina before the Cullen's rushed over to her with their hugs. Once they were done, I pushed my way through and hugged her as well. "Thank you Irina. For everything." She returned my hug and smiled before heading back to Denali.

"Okay, everyone meet me in the dining room. We have some things to discuss." All of the "teenagers'' in the room groaned because we knew what was going to happen. Carlisle really enjoyed his meetings.
