Meeting (Seattle Coven)

[Kaleigh]

OOC: Gosh, can no one make a post saying they knocked on the door or something? lol.

IC:

I passed through the thresh hold into my Condo. It was ten o'clock. Two hours to do nothing but imaging the horrible things that Aries would do to me if he knew I lied - and to think about how angry everyone would be with me for getting them into this mess.
I picked Apollo up off t he couch as i sat down. I put him on my lap and began to stroke him affectionately - he began to purr. He wasn't scared, as usual, sometimes I wondered if he even knew how to be scared. I turned on t he TV and glared blankly at the news - they did mention the strange outbreaks of dumpster fires. Ha. They had no idea, stupid humans. But it was enough work trying to fit in amungst them that was for sure. When I glanced at the clock that popped up int he bottom of the TV it was ten thirty. Well that wasted half an hour. Good.
I sighed as I put Apollo back n the couch and I got off the comfortable leather cushion, I made my way to the kitchen, which was in truth in the same room as the living room. I found a can opener and I opened a can of cat food. Apollo was on the counter in front of me in a few seconds flat. I dumped the disgusting looking, but not bad smelling, into his food bowl, which was on the floor. My black companion followed the food.
I rubbed between his ears with my middle and index finger before I hunted around for a rag and some furnisher polish and Windex.
I set about cleaning my condo - sure I stayed awake twenty four hours a day but I had other things to do then clean, like entertain myself for example. It was a little dusty, better then I expected. To me the lemon scent oft he furnisher polish was nearly over powering - I opened the glass door onto the balcony to let the smog filled air assert it's familiar stink. It wasn't nearly as bad as the lemon scented polish.
I looked at the clock on the TV, eleven thirty. Good, only half an hour to skulk and worry. I nearly threw myself onto the couch and stared at the ceiling.
What if I did the wrong thing in getting the rest of them mixed up in this?
No, they'll thank me, won't they. I did mention that Aries wanted Seattle for himself. That didn't include any of us.
But still, would it have been better if I'd simply answered no to his question? That no one was looking after Seattle?
But..
Someone was looking after Seattle. Well, someones would be more appropriate. There were at least five of us, even if we weren't a coven we still considered Seattle our territory, a joint territory. There was no real reason fro us not to become a coven. Was there?
My mind was moving pretty quick. I flashed over the possibility of the five of us actually becoming a coven. Nearly impossible, but an enjoyable fantasy none the less. I doubted I'd be so lonely anymore and we would have the advantage of numbers should there be any problems.
There was a knock at the door. I was at it in less then time then it took to blink. The TV still on, the sliding door still open, though the lemon scent had nearly disappeared. I looked through the little Peep hole in the center of the door. I turned the knob and opened the door....

Emma Kendall

[Via,Karma,Emmett & Knolan]

ooc: whose at your door? Because I would love to have Via come or something.

[Kaleigh]

OOC: ME openign the door was the beginning, anyone of y'all could be there lol, thats whi I didn't describe what she saw through the peep hole-thingy, and why I stopped directly after I saud she opened the door.. It's an invitation for ANYONE INVITED to post..

[Via,Karma,Emmett & Knolan]

I knocked on Emma's door softly, then leaned up against the wall. I was way early, but that was okay. I needed to talk to Emma about Karma. I sighed, and waited for Emma to answer her door. I hoped I wasn't interupting anything. I took out my phone and checked for any new voice mails, none. I put the phone back into my pocket just as the door opened. I jumped a little in surprise, then turned to face Emma.

"Hey, sorry, I'm so early. But...can I talk to you...about Karma?"

[Kaleigh]

Ah, Olivia, Via as she liked to be called. She jumped as I opened the door, how a vampire could be surprised by that I wasn't sure, maybe she was just nervous. Who wouldn't be? She seemed upset, great. What was wrong?
I opened my door further and moved to the side a little, leaving th entrance almost completely open.
"Sure.. What about Karma?" I assumed as I closed the door behind her (Power playing a little...). I moved to sit on the couch in front of the nearly muted TV. Apollo was sitting on the balcony, washing himself in the open air. I watched Via carefully. What could be up with Karma. Most of the Vampires in Seattle knew that one of us had gone to visit Volterra. Via and Karma were close, especially compared to me and anyone else I'd invited tonight.
I sat with my legs crossed under me, mu hands limp in my lap as I watched Via, puzzled but trying not to show I was.

Emma Kendall

[Via,Karma,Emmett & Knolan]

Via looked around nervously, for what reason she didn't know of. No one was going to jump out and attack her. I sat down across from Emma, before looking up at her. I hadn't really gotten to know her well, she was very kind from what I had heard. I should make more of an effort ot meet new people.

"Well....Karma went to Volterra, and I think she might have joined the Vulturi. But if she has, she will probably know every move I might make." It was true, being around her so much made it easy for me to predict her and vice versa. The situation wasn't good, and I probably made it worse just by speaking.

[Kaleigh]

I had heard that Karma had gone to Volterra. And it was rumored that she had joined the Volturi - it wasn't like that was a bad thing. Well maybe it was, I guess you could consider it kind of like joining a gang. Well, a royal gang - if that made any sence. They were respected, and feared. I mostly respected them. But others feared them.

I was confused as Via began to talk about making moves. I tried not to let it show, I suspect I failed. I leaned forward, lettign myself slip into the slouch and concerned look I had noted many teen aged females used now a days. Yeah, when i was bored I spied - so sue me. A lock of my slightly curly hair fel across my face, I absently tucked it behind my right ear, by bright crimson eyes focused on Via's expression.

"Joinin ghte Volturi I understand, but after that you lost me. What is all this about knowign every move you make?" I eas generaly concerned. if Via was in any danger I'd help. There wasn't a doubt about that.

Emma Kendall

[Via,Karma,Emmett & Knolan]

"Well Kamra and I are practically sisters. We've know each other since I became a vampire. And now that she's part of the Vulturi and everything, so if we ever get into a conflict with them she'll know everything I might or might not do. It's just a weird sister thing."

I sounded so confusing. I was rubbing my temples thinking of ways to explain it better. Hmmm, concentrate. Okay well she's not the problem now, this Aries is the problem and his coven.

"Okay well, I shouldn't dwell on this right now. What do you know about this Andaire coven?"

[Kaleigh]

Via was confused - obviously. She couldn't put into a coherent sentence she was worrying about. I could wait - almost all eternity if I had to. But I doubted it would last that long.
"She joined the Volturi - so she's in Italy. Well thats... upsetting for the current situation, unless you want the Volturi involved." I said, half to myself. Via was rubbing her temples, I leaned back against the couch.
"So this strange sister thing means that if there is ever a conflict between us and the Volturi she'll pretty well be a spy for them without ever leaving Italy - correct?" That was what I got out of it. Amazing what I could get out of gibberish - I doubted it was exactly what she meant. But she changed the subject, and I allowed that.
"There are seven of them and they want Seattle. Aries, Aislinn, Emily, Vivian, Evelyn, Lyra and Leo. And that at least Aries has a.. Talent. He knew my name and I didn't mention it to him." I said, my voice was quiet, a whisper, as if I were scared someone would hear it who wasn't supposed to.
"And I know that they think there is another coven around here that 'has' Seattle already. Our coven. Well Makario, Sirius, you, me and.. Karma." I rambled a little, but I was becoming a little nervous again. I wanted Apollo to stroke - he helped calm me. It wasn't odd for humans to feel that way when they had a pet but I wasn't sure if that was possible for Vampires. Well it had worked for me sense the eighteenth century.

Emma Kendall

[Via,Karma,Emmett & Knolan]

ooc: not liking what I wrote.....


"Well, I guess you could say that. It's not always she tell what either of us is "doing". With her power and my power it's hard to tell what is real, for me, and what is the past, for her." It was complicated, but once you knew what our powers were it was easier to understand.

"Well, I don't think involving the vultuir is a good idea. Bringing thim this close to humans and the Cullens, after their past experiences with them, woudn't be in theirs or our best interest. Although Karma may work with us to keep Seattle in our hands. It's just a matter of tracking her down." I tapped my chin, before looking up. "Her phone went dead a few days ago." I said, just incase Emma didn't know why we had to track her down instead of calling her.

"Oooooh, talented vampires? Huh, this should be fun." I said sarcasticaly. " Do we know what the other powers are? We may have a better chance of getting through this if we're prepared." I slouched a little and began thinking of possible plans.

"Five against seven? That's hardly fair. Is there anyone else we can think of here in Seattle who would help?" No, there isn't. We are up against unknow vampires it seems. Unless you can conjure some amazing illusion that can't be detected by these Andaire's. I have got to stop being so negative. What's wrong with you Via?!

[Kaleigh]

Now she'd lost me. With all this talk of the past and reality. I'd get confused by that and not be able to drag myself away from trying to figure it out - I had to focus. As soon as Via mentioned tracking I sat bolt upright. It occurred to me then.
I don't know how i knew it but I had a feeling - someone i knew could track her down. But who?
It was probably just one of those things that is like deja vu but not, as in it's not that you've done it before but you know it. It makes no sense to you I guess, but to me it made perfect sense. Via moved on to talents. I leaned back again, relaxing. Apollo appeared then, on the back of the couch, I had heard him coming - but I let him surprise me anyways, just so he thought he could do it. Without a moments hesitation i lifted him from his sitting position and plopped him into my lap, where I began to absently but affectionately run both my cold, marble hard hands along his midnight colored fur.
"Well I'd like to know about our coven before I worry about theirs. Such as how many of us are even going to be in it. And if any others, other them me and.. I assume you and Karma have talents. Would it be to personal to ask what your talent is?" I felt like I was being a little bossy, but how was I supposed to know? It wasn't as if I'd ever spent much time around others. Well I had, humans, but that had been more then three centuries ago, things had changed. I was a natural loner, working with others wasn't my strong point. But I had to make this work, so that I could be a loner for the rest of the time I decided to stay here. It was near eleven forty five now - when would Makario and Sirius show up? I had no expectation for Karma to show up anymore. Crap.
I wasn't terribly worried about figuring out their talents. If it was that difficult couldn't I just sneak in and observe. My talent was transparency, well almost. I suppose a vigilant vampire would be able to see the outline I cast against solid objects. But who would be so vigilant to catch that in their own home? The thought scared me. In a house with seven other vampires. I wanted to shudder, but I forced myself not to.


Emma Kendall

[Via,Karma,Emmett & Knolan]

I could see I had lost Emma a bit. Okay, well, another trait of my human past. I tended to ramble and jumble my thoughts as one. I took a deep breath, before looking around Emma's apartment. I wasn't sure what I thought of it. I had confused myself in the porcess of my rambling. Okay Karma isn't here, and she probably won't be for a while. Focus on our problem. Our coven.

" My talent? Oh, no, it's fine. Illusions, I can create illusions." I waited for Emma's reaction. Not very many people thought my power was amazing, but occasionaly there would be some people who were amazed by it. I didn't really care what anyone thought about ym talent, as long as I loved it, I was perfectly content.

"So our Coven? Any ideas on what we may call the coven? Or is it still in the editing process?"

[Kaleigh]

She looked around at my apartment. I didn't really care what she thought of it. Despite the fact I had spent enough time cleaning it, I was amazed the artificial lemon scent had disappeared so quickly.
Her power surprised me, I bet it showed a little in my expression. Illusion - very handy. I wondered what she had been like in life, what in her past could have enabled her to do that? Ah well. Mine was as simple as being able to blend in with the crowd, or be very unnoticeable. I didn't particularly like being the center of attention. She didn't seem to care at all what i could do - so I left it at that.
I chuckled a little as she mentioned the coven name. I hopped she wouldn't mind that I took t he liberty of naming it after the two vampires who were late. But I didn't want to use my name, and I didn't know Karma or Via's last name.
"Well actually. He asked about that. I'm not sure I said the right thing when I told him t he coven was the Lewis coven. Considering that those two will probably want to rip my head off when they get here. If they get here." I tried to keep tone light and humorous, I hope I succeeded.
"As for the editing process. I suppose you could say that. Not sure how but you could." I was a little more serious now, not much but a little. Where the bloody hell were Sirius and makario? I was beginning to get anxious.

Emma Kendall

OOC; *Gasp* My postys are gettign shorter..

[Via,Karma,Emmett & Knolan]

"Hmmm...may I ask what your talent is?" The look on Emma's face was one I hadn't seen in a few years. I didn't usually tell anyone what my power was. I let them figure it out...on their own. I smiled and began twisiting my fingers around eachother. The Lewis
Coven? That was an odd name. It wasn't very....vampirish. But, alas it was my opinion, and I was going to keep it to myself unless my opinion was asked of.

I hadn't thought about Makario or Sirius in a long time. It was all my moping around that kept me from interecting with the outside world. Well, I'll call it karma. I laughed to myself, keeping it quiet enough so emma couldn't hear it, but the smile on my face would definently show.

[Kaleigh]

She asked my talent. Maybe she guessed at my wish to show off my talent. She smiled, I wasn't sure why but she was smiling. I lifted Apollo off my lap and sat him on the couch beside me. Almost without even thinking it I could feel myself change. One moment there, the next gone.
I appeared again after maybe three seconds. I gave a half hearted smile, suddenly I felt humble - for what reason who knew.
"Transparency.. Invisibility. Which ever you want." I said, almost as if I didn't care. I lifted my cat - who seemed totally indifferent to it all and put him back in my lap and began to stroke him again. I do love that cat.
"When the bloody hell will Sirius and Markario be here?" I wondered out loud. It was very close to the time I asked them to be here. I was afraid they wouldn't come - that would be humiliating as well as pretty much disastrous.
I wondered what Via was thinking, considering that I had chosen the name of the Coven. The Lewis coven. Sure it sounded alright - it was an average name. You could almost say it sounded Old English. If thats the proper way to phrase it. And I don't see why you'd call it old - though I don't really consider anything that is under three hundred years all that old. Television for example, please it's still in it's infancy. Okay, I'm getting of track here. The name Lewis - I liked it, compare it to my name Kendall. Please, Lewis would win if it came to a vote. Besides, I always assumed that Covens had the last name of their leaders, Great. Th two who would be most opposed to this were the ones who would end up it's leaders. That occurred to me. Wow, this was messed up.
