Sam and the pack looked around and knew they were still there...but let Jacob tell Carlisle that they would wait...and if they left soon, he wouldn't start a war over it...if they didn't leave...Carlisle and his family would have to choose what they wanted more...allies with them or with the bloodsucking newcomers...but Sam came out into his human form...and made a warning loud enough for Crisstopher and Klayton to hear...that if they tried killing any more of the people they protected...they would have no mercy on them...then he ordered the pack to move out...and turned back to into his wolf form...then they all vanished into the woods.

Crisstopher ignored Sam's puny threat and continued to ask Klayton if he remembered the chant that would show them where to find the witches... Klayton shook his head yes...then added if there were any witches around anymore...they may have all been wiped out and burnt at the stake...centuries ago. Crisstopher looked at him and said that he'd better hope that there was at least one witch left...or they both were fucked. Klayton recited the chant to Crisstopher...then they both chanted together...until a hazy green light emerged from in between them and shot thru the roof...they went out on the balcony and followed the light with their eyes until the light stopped and burst into green flames...which pointed to them where a witch was located.

Crisstopher quickly grabbed Kc and lifted her into his arms like she was weightless...and headed toward the balcony with Klayton right by his side...the entire Cullen family was outside, looking up at them both...when suddenly out of nowhere Crisstopher fanned out his massive black wings...and Klayton opened his red wings...Edward looked at Jasper and Carlisle and asked them if they had ever seen a vampire with wings before...but by the look on all their faces, the answer was definitely no. But what the Cullens didn't know at the moment...was there was much more to those two vampires and soon they all would see just how much.

Crisstopher leaped off the balcony and flew off toward the light...Bella and Edward watched as he flew off with her cousin...with Klayton following right behind him...Emmit wanted to follow them on foot...just to see what they were up too...and if they would need to rescue Kc from them...Jasper looked at Emmit with a dumb stare and told him even if she needed rescuing...there was nothing any of them could do to help her...that they were all helpless against his power...and quite stupid if they tried.

 Esme, Rosalie, and Alice went into the library and decided to do some research on Dracula...and the Edenstone...thinking that maybe one of the old parchments would explain how he could be defeated...for Esme wasn't sure if Crisstopher's rule instead of the Volturi was such a great thing...the Volturi was bad enough...but to have someone as powerful as Crisstopher as the leader of all...was a very scary thing for her to think about...for all vampires like her...that were vegan...wouldn't have a surviving chance, and at least with the Volturi...as long as they didn't make a spectacle of themselves to the humans...they could live in peace.

Meanwhile back to the skies...Crisstopher and Klayton were moving closer to the witch's lair...which was nothing they expected...it wasn't a cave hidden in the hills...or a subterranean fortress...it was a cute little cottage full of flowers and animals everywhere...they both lit in the front yard and began to look around as Crisstopher gently sat Kc down...but never turned loose of her arm...when a lovely maiden came out of the cottage and asked them if they were the ones that put the chant over her home...then she added with mild humor that she hasn't seen any vampire that knew of the location chant in centuries...for most vampires this day and age...don't even know that witches even existed anymore.

The witch floated down in front of Crisstopher and asked him what it was that he wanted...but quickly apologized...for not having any manners...and told them her name was Rachel...then she looked right at Klayton and asked him for his name...he answered her but didn't act the least bit interested...but she had an immediate likeness for the tall, dark vampire with the cocky attitude...but she turned to Crisstopher and asked his name...Crisstopher told her then showed her the markings on Kc's back and asked if she could read them to him...Rachel looked at all the markings along her back and knew exactly what it was...and she got gravely silent...then said that language has been dead for centuries...and the last witch that knew of that language died over 20 years ago.

Crisstopher grabbed Rachel very quickly and said she was lying...that she could read it...then he flashed his eyes at her...and told her to read it...and she better says the truth...Rachel looked at the markings and told him that it was just the story of how Dracula came into being...Crisstopher looked at her and said there was a lot more to it than that...and he wanted to know...where he could find his Edenstone...because he wanted his power back...Rachel looked at him closely and asked him to reveal his left arm...Klayton removed Christopher's jacket and showed her...and, sure enough, Crisstopher had the brand mark of  The Son of The Dragon...that the dragon's fire placed on his flesh when he came into being. Rachel jumped back and said she could not help the son of the Dragon return to his full power...for if she did...it would doom the entire planet...and her in it.

Klayton grabbed her, and said that if his brother didn't get his power back...he would die...and if his brother dies...so would everyone else...for he would kill them all personally...then Klayton flashed his red eyes at her...and said with a wicked grin...that he would start with her...Rachel went over to Kc and pulled her into the cottage...and told them both to stay out...that it would take her a while to decipher the tattoos exactly...then she'd write it all down in a language they could understand...once she got Kc inside...she asked her if she knew what the markings on her back meant...and if she had any inner knowing about the Edenstone...Kc just shook her head no as tears from fear and worry began to trail down her cheek.
