Three vampires came out of the forest. Each one was 10 meters apart from each other. There was a dark haired man with red eyes, he looked like the leader. After him there was a pale man with blonde hair and red eyes. Last there was a women, equally pale with red eyes like human blood, her hair was a shade of hair that really seemed like fire. They continued to walk in our direction. Carlisle went forward with Jasper and Emmett to meet them.

The dark haired man and leader of the gang went to talk with Carlisle. I tried reading his mind to know what he wanted. He was really curious, but his curiosity was about the yellow eyed vampires of our family. His name was Laurent.

"We thought we heard a game." Laurent said, with the slightest French accent. "I'm Laurent, these are Victoria and James."

"I'm Carlisle. This is my family, Emmett and Jasper, Rosalie, Esme and Alice, Violet, Edward and Bella." he pointed us out in groups, trying not to call much attention to each of us. I noticed Bella's fear when Carlisle said her name.

"Do you have room for a few more players?" Laurent asked.

"Actually, we were just finishing up. But we'd certainly be interested another time. Are you planning to stay in the area for long?" Carlisle asked.

"We're headed north, in fact, but we were curious to see who was in the neighborhood. We haven't run into any company in a long time." Laurent said.

"No, this region is usually empty except for us and the occasional visitor, like yourselves."

The talk started getting more carefree. Certainly Jasper was using his gift to control the situation.

"What's your hunting rage?" Laurent asked.

"The Olympic rage here, up and down the Coast Ranges on occasion. We keep a permanent residence nearby. There's another permanent settlement like ours up near Denali."

Laurent was surprised.

"Permanent? How do you manage that?" he was really curious.

"Why don't you come back to our home with us and we can talk comfortably?" Carlisle suggested. "It's a rather long story."

"That's sounds very interesting, and welcome." Laurent answered. "We've been on the hunt all the way down from Ontario, and we haven't had the chance to clean up in a while."

"Please don't take offense, but we'd appreciate it if you'd refrain from hunting in this immediate area. We have to stay inconspicuous, you understand." Carlisle explained.

Then Carlisle, Esme, Jasper and Rosalie went running to show the way, Alice, Emmett, Edward, Bella and I went to the Jeep. Before we moved, a slight breeze moved Bella's hair, by that, James, the blonde, turned to Bella, examining her. He started to move forward, so Edward went to protect Bella.

"What's this?"  Laurent said, surprised.

"She's with us." Carlisle said, firmly.

"You brought a snack?" Laurent asked.

"I said she's with us." Carlisle repeated.

"But she's human." Laurent protested.

"Yes." Emmett said.

I read James' mind, he was totally focused on Bella, he was a tracker. But he had noticed me too, and was thinking things like 'what is that other strange smell?'. Laurent sensed it too.

"What's that other smell? Herbs, a really intense smell." Laurent asked. This time, Emmett, Jasper and Rosalie went and stayed in front of me to protect me too.
