As Bella walked out of the forests she saw Edward at the door waiting for her, she smiled as he smiled and she got to him in no time hugged and kissed him "I missed you", "Missed you too and I see you brought company as well?"
"Yeah! I have, I managed to save Alistair and protect the rest of his coven, however Nahuel found us in the forest, but that's not all...Nahuel, you can call them in now..."
Nahuel called his sisters and as they entered he introduced them to everyone.
"This is Serena, Maysun and Jennifer"
"Are they..."
"Yes Carlisle they are like me, half vampire/half human, though i can't explain it, but I can sense they are.'' Renesmee answered instead, "I think it's my gift, it's growing"
"This can't be a coincidence" Bella mumbled to herself.
"Bella what did you say? Something about a coincidence" Edward asked.
"It's just what happened earlier when I had my shield up at Alistair's coven. At first I thought Alec paralyzed their senses, but when I walked directly in front of Jane and Alec they couldn't see me either" Bella explained.
"I'm not happy about you walking in front of Jane and Alec, but about your shield I want to try it out"
"OK, I will try it again" So Bella pushed her shield out the way she usually does around Edward and herself.
Everyone in the room looked in awe. Bella's shield doesn't just protect, it also keeps her hidden, so she can keep the ones she loves safe. Whilst Bella still had her shield up with Edward, they decided to have a bit of fun and snuck away to give themselves some space whilst the group tried to look for them.
After their fun they decided to hunt when suddenly Jacob and Renesmee found them in the forest.
"Hey… there you two are, everyone was looking for the both of you, before getting to know more about the other vampire hybrids: Serena, Maysun and Jennifer" Jacob said.
As they carried on talking, they all headed back to Carlisle's place under Bella's shield, it was only when they spotted Carlisle she unveiled them.
Carlisle was looking out for them and then they appeared and he walked towards them "Bella it does seem like your gifts are growing as well, so it's no coincidence that Ateara is a shield as well and that he can absorb gifts, to which he can use it with your shield." Carlisle explained
"This is good, we can use this to our advantage and give us more protection than ever before" Bella said.
"We can even form two groups," Jacob said cunningly.
After agreeing with the plans on how to take on Jane and Alec, they decided to turn their heads to face the vampire hybrids and to get to know them a little bit more.
"Serena is it?" Esme asked
Serena just nodded with a hint of a smile.
"Please tell us more about yourself and your sisters then" Emmett asked, Rosalie looked at him coldly with her arms crossed and said "Emmett don't forget you already have someone who loves you, so you can stop looking at them in that way".
"I know, I love you too, I was being nice" Emmett replied.
There was a moment's silence before Serena started to talk. "As you may know the majority about us, I was born in 1810 and Joham had spent a few years with me which had been great till we found out that I do not possess any gifts like some of you have. I also had to raise maysun and Jennifer, we never knew our mothers as they had died giving birth to us".
"So you see your daughter is very lucky to still have you Bella" said Maysun
"Thank you but I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Edward, he is the one who saved me as he turned me using his venom" Bella said thankfully.
"So Maysun, would you like to tell us more about yourself?" asked Carlisle politely.
"Yeah, that's not a problem. I'm Maysun as you know already and born in 1820 from Algeria and I too do not possess any gifts, but I have managed to learn how to fight and defend myself"
"That's great maybe you can show me a few moves" said Emmett
"Yeah that can be arranged hopefully" said Maysun agreeingly
"So Jennifer you seem a bit quiet, do you possess any gifts?" asked Rosalie
There was still silence as everyone looked in her direction, she got a little shy and hid behind her sister Serena. "Jennifer don't be afraid you can talk freely here" Serena said encouragingly.
There was a moment's silence and it took her a while before talking quietly and stutteringly "I am Jennifer...but you...can call me....Jen. I am still new to this as I was born in Ohio 1991 and also do not possess any gifts, well not that I know of."
"Well if you do have gifts what do you think it could be?" Asked Alice.
"Wow. No one has ever asked me that. Erm...let me think, I think it would probably be tracking" Jennifer replied.
"Yeah that would be a great gift, we knew one of those but he wasn't one of us" Alice said.
As the day turned into night everyone was chatting away and smiling until Alice suddenly went very still and wide eyed and everyone who looked knew it was bad. So they got up and Nahuel gestured to his three sisters to go follow Bella.
"What's going on Nahuel?" Asked Serena, "I'm not too sure, but it seems pretty bad, you three just need to stick with Bella ok" Nahuel said.
"Ok we will do, you also keep safe brother" Serena said protectively.
"Bella...we must be careful this time, this isn't like the time we negotiated with the Volturi, Aro is more lenient and with them gone, Jane and Alec are making their own rules. Besides they aren't happy with what we have done" Said Edward.
"Hey relax, don't forget what our plan of defense and attack is, but more importantly remember we have two shields, so it's twice the protection, we just got to be close enough so that Ateara can use others' gifts." Emmett said, smiling at the plan.
"Emmett, try not to look so cheery, this is serious" Rosalie said
"Yes I know but I'm just trying to lighten things around here" Emmett explained.
