Phone Call

BACK AT THE CULLEN RESIDENCE, a new threat has been keeping the Cullen Coven on edge, a newborn army.

Victoria sent the newborn army to finish off the vampires that killed her mate, James.

She was taking revenge on the human, who was the main reason why James wasn't by her side anymore.

"We're going to need help," a thick southern drawl says, Jasper.

"Do you think Tanya's family would be willing to fight with us? Another five mature vampires would give us an advantage," He continues eyeing his family members.

"Six," a chirpy voice says, her eyes glistening, her lips forming a wide smile. "She just came home after we headed New York."

"Even better then," Jasper says with a sharp nod.

Carlisle grabbed his phone from his pocket, dialing a number. "I'll ask now."

"IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW CARLISLE, LAURENT WAS IRINA'S MATE, AND THE SHAPESHIFTER KILLED HIM IN FRONT OF HER," Tanya said with gritted teeth, trying not to be angry at the man in the call she was with.

"We didn't know," Carlisle tells her. He was clueless.

"Let's make a deal. We'll help you if you only agree to us taking down the filthy pack," Tanya negotiates, looking at Irina, who has a satisfied smirk on her face, liking the idea of having revenge.

"But we have a truce, and we can't break it. We will do fine on our own," Carlisle tells her.

"Of course, call us if you change your mind," Tanya said as she ended the call.

"Carlisle is too kind, and I knew that he'll never agree," Irina says while rolling her eyes.

"At least we took the chance," Tanya says while putting down her phone on the coffee table.

"So why is a newborn army coming after them? The human again?" Evangeline asks while putting on some nail polish.

"Do you remember when I called you and told you that a tracker hunted Edward's human?" Tanya asks, and Evangeline hums, encouraging her to continue.

"Well, they killed him, and the mate wanted revenge, hence, the newborn army," Tanya tells her.

"Intense, right?" Kate asks with a smirk. She wants to help the Cullens, especially with the newborn army, she participated in many great battles, and she wants to experience the adrenaline again, but she respects Irina's decision.

"That's what heartbreaks do to you, especially when it comes to your mate," Irina says, bringing a cup of animal blood to her lips, drinking it slowly, savoring the thick liquid that coats her tongue.

"Let's just hope they'll be okay and be alive after that," Evangeline pipes. She also wants to go because she hasn't really been formally introduced to the Cullens, only Alice. When they met in London in 1952, Evangeline accidentally bumped into her, but of course, for Alice, it wasn't an accident. It was purely intentional.

Evangeline wants to meet them all, and it is rude that she is the only family member that the Cullens know nothing about. She was too busy traveling, getting degrees, and shopping all around the world when the Cullens came to visit them every few years.

I'll meet them soon, Evangeline says to herself with a small smile on her lips.

"A newborn army vs. six vampires, let's just pray whoever is up there they'll make it in one piece," Eleazar says, walking towards them with Carmen in his arms.

"Oh, they'll be in one piece, alright? They have a treaty with the shifters, and you told us that the shifters protect humans in their land. If a newborn is coming to Forks, all humans will be at risk. They'll help them," Kate says while looking at Eleazar, and the man nods at her agreeing with what she has said, while Irina just scoffs and rolls her eyes.

"Great, those mutts will help them. If they change their minds, don't even bother," Irina says while looking at Tanya, and the woman just nods at her.

"That human is really bringing problems to that family. This will never happen if they just left her alone," Evangeline tells them while looking at her new polished nails.

"Edward told me that they had a family meeting. The Hale twins, Rosalie and Jasper, were planning to murder Bella. Jasper, the southern one, was planning to do it by himself," Carmen tells them. Edward was close to her. He sees her as a mother figure.

"That Jasper seems attractive, planning to murder a human that's a threat to their safety? Making me all hot and bothered," Evangeline says with dreamy eyes. It was really making her have a little infatuation with the said Hale twin.

"He is definitely your type, southern, gentleman, soldier, and the same age as you," Kate lists off to her, liking the idea of Evangeline having someone to be with.

"You know me, and a southern bell likes a southern gentleman. You completely sold me off already," Evangeline says with a large smile. She already wants to meet this Jasper.

"You'll see him soon, and I just know," Kate tells her with a smirk. She knows that they will meet very soon.
