Chaos stared at the empty lot he just bought. granted it was bigger than most places he had seen while looking around for a place to build his shop, it was still quite small to him. In fact it was down right tiny. He groaned and thought 'what am I supposed to do with this now?'
Finally shrugging he returned to his car. In order to keep up appearances he would have to have things done the mortal way.
Chaos drove home to wait for the building men he hired to arrive. They were going to be travelling from Metropolis and some of the natives on the rez also offered their services, they needed the money. He wondered how Harry was doing but decided against sending a mental message. Harry accused him of being worse than a mother hen when it came to worrying and he figured he was probably right. He just did not feel comfortable with his son in a school with vampires, no matter how friendly they were. Pulling himself together he concentrated on getting things ready for the building of his shop.

A few months later ...
Harry walked out of class feeling dejected. He had hoped the work would be harder but it was not. He supposed he would stick it out if he wanted to experience school and not just pass by it. There wasn't long left before graduation. His teacher gave them a project during class and Harry was paired with Bella and Edward Cullen for it. He wondered what his dad was going to say about it.
Bella turned from Edward and said to Harry, "Harry, do you want to come over to my house to do the project or work at yours?"
Harry shrugged and said "It's better if we do it at mine."
Edward cut in "We will have to work on the project tonight, I won't be home over the weekend and next week is graduation we are having a party at our house, you're invited." Edward handed Harry an invite in an envelope and went on speaking "Your dad is invited too, it's for both of you."
Harry took the invitation a bit warily and sent a mental massage to his dad asking about he party. His dad replied he could go if he wanted to but he was too busy with the shop which was opening in a few days. Chaos did everything the mortal way despite being tempted several times to use his powers to complete it. He wondered if it was worth it seeing as Harry was not going to be in school as long as they originally thought. He figured he could always donate the shop to someone when he left.
Harry and Chaos never really had much to do with the Cullens ever since they moved to Forks. It seemed they preferred to keep their distance as long as Harry and Chaos did. They also had the reassurance of Jacob that they were okay seeing as Harry spent a lot of time on the rez with Seth. They became very good friends, even Chaos did not bat an eyelid when Seth came over to their house or Harry went over.
As the months passed by Harry could feel the rising tension on Edward and his siblings. He sensed it on the rez as well and knew something was going on. Considering how protective Edward was over Bella and Jacob also made a fuss over her, he knew the whole tense situation was something to do with her. He remembered his dad talking about the red head vampire that tried to attack him wanting vengeance on someone and put two and two together realising that Bella was the intended target.
Edward told Harry he would drive behind his dad when he was picked up.

Edward's face on seeing Harry and Chaos' home was a bit comical. He could see the vampire was impressed. Harry smiled and said "We an work in the conservatory. There is loads of space in there."
Working with Edward gave Harry a chance to observe him out of class. He was less tense and more relaxed, most likely because he did not have to keep as tight a leash on himself as he did among an entire school of humans. A part of him wondered what he smelt like to the vampire especially after his dad said his blood was different from normal humans and would burn up the vampires if they tried to drink it.
He got up halfway through the project and excused himself. He came back with a tray of drinks and snacks and set them on the table. Edward was confused the snacks and the drink smelled really good. Noticing the confusion on Edward's face Harry said "The snacks are edible for you as well. My dad made them while we were working."
Edward looked at Bella who shrugged and picked up her drink and drank some. She loved the drinks from Harry's house they were exquisite. Chaos refused to say how he made them because he planned to have them in his shop when it opened. He did not want someone else stealing his recipes. Edward warily picked up the drink in front of him and took a sip. His eyes widened at the taste. It was better than human blood and quenched his thirst immediately. The burning he learned to live with all his life as a vampire was completely gone. He downed the drink and asked Harry "What is in that? It's amazing."
bella smiled as Harry shrugged and said "I couldn't even begin to tell you. I never learned my dad's skill at mixing drinks, I just drink will have to ask him."
Bella laughed and said "That is always your answer Harry, aren't you even curious a little bit?"
Edward spoke before Harry could say anything "The drink is more than a normal drink isn't it?"
Harry looked up and said "Most likely why?"
Harry saw Edward's eyes looked much much lighter than normal and the dark circles under his eyes that he associated with the vampires as they all seemed to have them, were gone and Harry new his dad had given Edward a drink of blood mixed with a few drops of nectar. He wanted to face palm but decided against it in front of his guests and answered his own question "Your thirst is gone!"
Edward nodded and said "Yeah, I don't think I remember ever feeling this good."
Harry smiled at him and said "That is a good thing right?"
Edward smiled back and said "Yes it is."
Bella was in shock where she sat and said "Edward is that true? You are not thirsty any more?"
Harry sent a message to his dad and asking "Hey dad, how long id that going to last?" Chaos replied "It will last for a few days before he starts feeling the burn again. I can make it permanent but I need to know what kind of being he is before I do. He will have to earn it if he wants it."
Harry returned his attention to his guests and said "Well that was an unexpected welcome side effect."
Bella asked "Is it permanent? Do you think your dad will agree to make some for the others?"
Edward listened as he wanted to know too. Harry stood up and said "I'll go ask him."
Edward was excited about it. He kissed Bella for much longer than he usually did as soon as Harry was out of the room. He felt euphoric when the usual blood lust did not rise. Not even a twinge. "Bella, it's constant burning, there is nothing there. I really hope it is permanent because I have never felt this good. Its amazing. Bella laughed with him happy that she was not causing Edward any pain. The stopped when Harry and Chaos walked into the room.
Chaos stood by the door and said "Harry told me about the side effect of the drink. I can assure you that was unexpected. I made it to make it easier for you to control your thirst when you are around my son. It has taken me a while to get it right. The effects are supposed to last a few days. I will make some for your family for next week when Harry comes to your home. I can't make it often it takes a lot of time and the ingredients are quite rare."
Edward waited until Chaos stopped talking before saying "Can you not let us know how to make it and we could do it ourselves?"
Shaking his head Chaos replied "It would do you no good to learn how to make it. You are not magical, you need magic for some of the steps to be completed and one of the ingredients is impossible to find unless you have magic. I plan on having it in the magical side of my shop when its open. I will only be selling it to your family as I know you go out of your way to preserve human life."
Edward smiled a little then frowned and said "If other vampires hear about it they will stop at nothing to get their hands on it. Even harm you and your son for it."
Chaos shrugged and said they will have to find us first. The only reason you are able to get into this house is because I let you. I can hide mine and my son's presence if I wish it."
Before Chaos left the room he said "Before you leave I will give you the rest of the drink that I made for you, for the rest of your family to try."
As Edward left the house he took Bella halfway to the rez to meet and spend some time with Jake as she wanted, then made his way to own home. he could not wait for the others to try the amazing drink and the fact that Chaos was willing to make it just for his family to buy made rethink the man's motives. He can't be all bad if he was worried about human life could he?

The one most affected was Jasper. If he could cry he would have done. They were all sitting at the dining room table facing each other. Carlisle broke the silence "This is amazing Edward. Did he say he could not teach us how to make it?"
Knowing he had already said so Edward did not feel impatience like he normally would have for having to repeat himself. He just nodded an said "He said we need to be magicals to make it and there is an ingredient that can only be picked by someone with magic."
Emmett was just as rowdy as ever and said "I think I'm going to make this guy my best friend."
Rosalie rolled her eyes, although she looked torn between wanting to hate what she thought was a mortal human and being impressed by what he managed to do with a drink.
Alice had a thoughtful look on her face before she asked "Why did he make the drink in the first place?"
"You know how Bella Harry and I got a class project, his dad made the drink to make it easier for me to control my blood lust while I was around his son. It was why he wanted us to the project at his house instead of here or at Bella's."
When Edward stopped taking Carlisle said "I suppose I can't blame him for wanting to protect his child."
Alice smiled and said "Are they coming to the party next week, I can't see their futures. It's like with the wolves everything disappears once they are involved. In this case the wolves are already blocking me seeing the event."
Edward answered her "I think only Harry is coming. His dad said he will have some of those drinks for us next week for the party seeing as Harry is going to be there."
They all smiled as they agreed that this was going to change their lives.
