Two households, both alike in dignity
Years have passed since the close call to a battle in Edward and Bella’s meadow, and the Cullen family has finally been able to relax once more. Their small town of Forks, Washington, hasn’t been bothered in years, and things are going quite well. Renesme is growing up, Jacob and Edward have finally started to get along, and Emmett and Rosalie have even considered adopting a baby of their own. Everything is going smoothly as the coven lives quietly outside the town limits of Forks, and sometimes receives visits from their vampire friends who have been supportive of the family. All is well.
On the other end of the spectrum, La Push hasn’t been doing so well. Sam and Emily have been getting into spats more and more lately, and although Sam can control his anger for now, there’s no telling what may happen if he lets his guard slip again. Leah Clearwater is as bitter as ever with everyone imprinting except for her, and refuses to lighten up about Kim and Jared’s approaching wedding. If she can’t be in love, then nobody else can. As for Billy Black, he doesn’t approve of his son spending so much time over at the Cullen’s house, but he won’t stop Jacob from making his decisions and choosing his paths. He just hopes that someday he’ll realize something that will tell him to stop.
In fair Volterra, where we lay our scene
Caius has been sick of being overshadowed by his brother Aro for centuries. For once, he’d like to be the ones calling the shots, leading the coven, and deciding the fate of others. In his eyes, Aro is nothing but a coward for taking alternative ways from fighting, and thinks that he could be a better leader any day. He’s been gaining support from Jane and Marcus, who are also fed up with Aro, and also from other members of the coven. But rather than attempt to overthrow Aro, Caius has a different plan. Consulting Vladimir and Stephan, Caius convinced them to allow him and his small group join there Coven and plan an attack on Volterra, rendering Aro and the city vulnerable and overtaking the city for the greater good. However, Stephan and Vladimir have a plan of their own, which entails executing not only Aro, but Caius an Marcus as well…
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny
The Cold Ones have not been the only species of vampires to walk the Earth. There is a new coven that has entered the town of Forks, Washington, claiming their superiority to the type of vampires the Cullens and other Covens are. They look like gods and goddesses in human form sent to walk the Earth, and have skin that doesn’t sparkle in the broad sunlight. Their only weakness is blood, and that’s exactly why they’ve decided to intrude on the state of Washington. Shortly after their arrival, area teenagers start going missing, and then are found dead with multiple lacerations and bite marks that suggest being mauled by bears of some sort. The Cullens know better, and Carlisle is fully aware of the threat The Red Ones pose. Not only are they extremely powerful, but they walk both day and night, and can manipulate their appearance at will to portray a helpless old woman, a handsome teenager, or a looming authority figure. The only way to tell a Red One from a regular vampire is by locating the underside of the right wrist- a tattoo of a scarlet crescent moon outlined in silver is located there. Even worse than that- The Red Ones have placed themselves as students of Forks High School, putting the students there at even more risk.
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean
Two separate wars are brewing in the world. One takes place in Italy, where two ancient families battle it out to see who can win- will the Romanian Coven take back the throne, or will Aro prove to be more than just a benevolent vampire? This is one of the more important wars taking place, but that doesn’t mean the ones involving the Cullens and the Red Ones aren’t any less important. Even though they have the support of their own kind, there are two problems that take place with the pack of shape-shifters, both involving imprints. Seth and Leah Clearwater cannot bring themselves to fight when they imprint on Marjorie and Absolom in the meadow, and, to couple with this, The Red Ones haven’t only been killing humans, but also changing them into their own kind for this sort of situation. Who will prevail, and who will pay the price?
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend
With all this war and murder taking place, will love be able to shed it’s light on the world, or will it be hidden by darkness? Only you can decide.
