Where had all the time gone? One minute it was February, we were laughing around the fire pit at night telling stupid and insane ghost stories in the evening chill, and the next it's the beginning of March. It's hard to believe that things have changed in such time. Irina and Tanya have slowly begun to mingle with the rest of the group after the apology. While I accepted the half apology, Irina has really stepped up her game. Considering she was the test dummy to her sister's power during a training exercise with my gift, I began to have just a bit more respect for her.

Speaking of gift training, Kate requested the I join her in training today. We've been testing the ability to heighten her power. Considering Kate's gift only works by touching someone, we were curious if I could manage to manipulate her power even more. Unfortunately, we haven't had any luck so far. Apparently Kate and Eleazar got the idea from Peter's example. From long exposure to my gift, Peter developed visions from his clairvoyance according to Eleazar.

Peter hated being called Clairvoyant in any form at all.

I looked around at the group that always watched us train. For a while Tanya and Irina stayed in the house during training to avoid everyone else mostly. Now, they join Garrett and Carmen by the fire pit. Emmett and Rosalie went hunting last night and have yet to return. Not to mention Peter has been MIA most of the day in and out of the forest doing something he's been mum about. Since Kate's gift doesn't work in the way we need, Kate inlisted Jasper's help today.

Jasper has been out of sorts lately. I think it's about my request with the Major. Not to mention Peter's secrets in the forest has the entire house perked in curiosity. All I know is that Peter is capable of protecting himself. Yet, something tells me he isn't doing everything alone. Rosalie and Emmett are missing for a reason that isn't all about hunting or having alone time.

"I want to see if you still have a problem affecting multiple vampires at a time." Kate's voice brings me back to the present trying to ignore the place in the trees Peter disappeared. The more I think about my request the more antsy I become. "You said last time you had to drop seven vampires before picking up another six."

I nod, returning to my current situation. Jasper finally blinks and joins the group as well, folding his arms over his chest. While Jasper seems a little surprised by my request, he thankfully hasn't distanced himself from me yet. I almost expected it, hell I thought for certain he'd say no. Peter did a better job convincing him than I had convincing Peter himself.

"How's that going to work, though?" I glance over mentally counting the vampires we currently have. "Without Rosalie, Peter, and Emmett, we don't have enough vampires to affect."

"Here we are." Almost as if summoned, Rosalie and Emmett step out of the trees picking leaves out of their hair. Emmett brushes off Rose's back off before we can see anything and clapping off his palms from anything left over.

"Either of you seen-" Jasper says right before Peter steps out from behind Rose and Em. The sight of our secretive mate makes me shake my head at his knowing smirk. Peter bounds directly to us, kissing both our cheeks, hiding his face.

"You were saying, Robyn?" Kate's lips are up in a smirk as Eleazar chuckles.

"Let's get back to training," I mumble, brushing Peter off as he tries to lie his head on my shoulder.

"Why don't we try to give one group one emotion and another group a different one?" Kate suggests looking over the group of vampires. Everyone is a little nervous wondering what emotions Jasper could choose. "I mean all Robyn has to do is amplify the emotion to more than one vampire, but I'm not sure if Jasper can do more than one emotion at a time."
