The Coven Chapter 7

Alice sat quietly as she listened to Luna speaking about their home back in England; still curious about what Luna had seen.

"Alice?" Luna called out, breaking the petite vampire out of her trance. "Is something the matter?" She looked at Alice expectantly. "I really hope you put my vision out of your mind."

Throughout her years living as a vampire, it was rare to find or hear of a seer that could actively see glimpses of the future, and Alice was the first that could see the future depending on the choices an individual makes.

"You see, Harry has never really told me much about other seers, least of all someone that could see the concrete future." Alice said.

"I doubt that Harry has come to meet many of them. They are quite rare." Luna replied. "Knowing the definite future has consequences should one try to tamper with it. It is why no matter what I see, I must do nothing."

Alice looked at Luna sympathetically. "I can't say I know exactly how you feel but I know what it feels like when you know something will happen but you can't necessarily do anything. I won't ask anymore." she said defeatedly.

"Thank you, Alice." Luna said, placing a hand on Alice's cheek.

The next day...

Edward glanced outside the window, eyebrows scrunched in frustration. He could swear he saw a blur of something moving about. If only he could read thoughts at a farther distance. "Mr. Cullen, I do hope what I teaching is appropriately interesting?"

Edward snapped out of his thoughts and turned to see his teacher and all of the other students looking at him in interest. "Of course, Mr. Scotts. I was just trying to get over how interesting cells are." he said.

The man raised his eyebrows accusingly. "Then I'm sure you could answer the question I just asked a moment ago. Since obviously, you are so interested."

"Yes professor, a mitochondrion's DNA is separate from the nucleus," he recited dutifully. Lucky that someone had the question in their head. The professor's eyes narrowed slightly but said nothing as he continued his lesson.

Nice save Edward. I was trying not to think of the question to see if you really did have it, Jasper thought.

Edward's eyes flashed electric blue, which he covered by blinking his eyes. Thanks for the love and support, Jas.

You get your lovin' from Jacob already so I'm sure you don't need any more from me. Jasper thought, smirking slightly as he did so while pretending to pay attention to the teacher.

The bell rang and the students got up swiftly and headed for the door as fast as they could.

"I'll see you at the cafeteria then, Eddie," Jasper said as he walked to the other hallway.

"Alright." Edward replied as he started walking to the direction of Jacob's class. The bronze-haired vampire walked against the crowd, looking ahead in an attempt to spot Jacob.

"Seth?" Edward blinked and saw the boy had bumped into him. The young Quileute looked flustered at having bumped at someone and looked alarmed when he saw whom he bumped into.

"Edward!" He exclaimed.

"Oh, there you are Ed!" Jacob called out loudly, making others look amusedly. "Hey Seth!" he walked towards them, winding his way through the crowd.

"Hello Jay," Edward greeted. "Hungry?"

"Did you even have to ask?" he laughed, taking Edward's backpack.

"I haven't had a chance to see much of you around, Seth. You haven't been avoiding us, have you?" Edward asked, although he knew the answer already.

"Well, you see…"

"Ed, give him a break. He's scared he's going to get pummeled by some vamps because he imprinted on a young one. Like a 12 year old."

"God, Jake, stop making sound like I'm a pedophile! It's not like I could control it." Seth grumbled. "But I don't think I could've picked a better imprint. Teddy is cool." He said with a goofy smile.

"And let's not forget that Teddy is technically the, uh, pedophile since he is at least a century old." Edward added in.

"Thanks, Edward."

Jacob just chuckled at Seth's face mixed with happiness at finding his imprint and the fear of being on the receiving end of Harold's wrath.

"Do you mind if I sit here with you today?"

The group turned quiet as they looked at Bella. Most of the student population looked at the girl in surprise. No one ever dared to try to sit with the Cullens and their Quileute friends. They just seemed so exclusive. And who could blame them? It was like everyone in the table was like sex on legs.

"Of course, Bella. No need to ask, really. Sit, sit." Harold said, smiling at the girl. She breathed a sigh of relief before setting her tray down and sitting in between Alice and Rosalie. The surprise from the students seemed to last a minute before the noise of the cafeteria returned to normal.

"What made you switch tables?" Draco asked with interest. "Were the people over there too annoying for you too?" he smiled cheekily.

"Dray..." Harry sighed.

"What? I was just curious," he defended before he returned to his book.

"It's fine. Draco was right after all. All they do is gossip. I swear if Seth wasn't gonna sit there, I wouldn't have gone there," She admitted. "Oh,

Edward and Jacob entered with Seth in tow. He was reluctant to sit close to the Cullens, especially Harry. He wasn't sure what to expect from the vampire that is like Teddy's dad.

"Haven't seen you around in a while, Seth." Harold greeted. "You haven't been avoiding us, have you?"

"Uh, not—well actually…" Seth stuttered before he was roughly elbowed by Jacob and smiling nervously at the group.

"Don't worry, Harry, he's just been busy with a lot of homework so yeah." Jacob said.

Harry didn't look convinced but shrugged his shoulders. "You can come for dinner tonight though, right Seth?" Harry asked. "And you too, Bella?"

"Sorry, I can't. I told my dad that I'm making dinner tonight," Bella apologized.

"Some other time then?" Rosalie asked. Bella nodded.

"What about you, Seth?" Jasper asked. "You comin' then?"

Seth was about to make an excuse but Harry beat him to it. "Teddy will be there." He added lightly.

"Uh, okay I guess I can try to come." Seth replied hesitantly. "Bella, we don't have homework for history do we?" he asked his classmate, who was talking actively with Alice and Rosalie.

"I don't think so." She said.

"Uh, Jake, can you-?"

"Yeah, I'm invited too, so I can drive you," Jacob nodded. Edward smiled at him.

"Seth and Teddy—" Draco started to sing under his breath, which caused Harold to hit him not so lightly on the arm. Draco merely smiled before returning to his food. Those in the table that overheard laughed quietly at the flustered Seth.

That evening…

"I'll get it!" Emmett yelled when the doorbell rang. "Hey, Seth." He greeted.

"Hey Emmett! Jacob is just parking the car." Seth said.

"That's cool, come in. Just go down the hall then take the second left."

Seth smiled in thanks. "Is that the kitchen?"

"No, Teddy is there." Emmett grinned, making Seth's face flush. "Thanks Emmett. By the way, we brought someone along." He said before turning around and followed Emmett's direction.

"Okay, dinner'll be ready soon!" Emmett called out.

"Great, 'cause I'm really hungry," the familiar voice said, making the burly vampire turn around. "Paul!" Emmett exclaimed.

"The one and only." the man greeted, a smirk on his face. "Hey Emmett, how's it going?"

"U-Uh, hey…" he said hesitantly.

"Oh, hey Emmett. I brought Paul along, like Harry said." Jacob said.

"Dad?" Emmett asked in disbelief, closing the door. "Nothing ever gets past him, does it?" he grumbled. "Oh, uh, just down the hall. Everyone's there."

Jacob nodded to him. "Thanks, man. Let's go, Paul."

Paul nodded to Emmett.

When the pair was gone, Emmett released a breath he didn't realize he was holding. "Wow that was something."

Living room…

"Teddy!" Seth whined, throwing his controller on the seat.

"Yes! I win again!" Teddy whooped, jumping on the couch. The two were rowdily playing a game on the PS3, and so far Seth had not won a single round. Everyone else was in the kitchen talking about something or the other. It was of no interest to Teddy and Seth so they decided to do something else.

"It's not fair. You had lots of time to practice." Seth plopped down on the couch, trying to calm himself down from the rowdy jumping they have been doing.

"Actually, I just started playing this afternoon." Teddy mused, leaning on Seth.

"Yeah, whatever. Let's go for another round!" Seth challenged, picking up the controller.

Teddy smirked and picked up his controller before he sat beside his friend. "You're on, freshman Seth!"

"Why are you calling me freshman Seth?"

"Oh, I heard Jacob call you that. I thought it was your nickname or something." The young vampire shrugged. "Oh, a freshman means it's my first year in high school." Seth explained, glancing at the younger boy.

"It's a little different back in England, you see. We have it going from first year through seventh year, starting when you're eleven." Teddy said, his eyes never breaking contact with the television screen.

"So you're in third year then?"

"Back in England, yes." Teddy nodded slowly. "Take that!"

"Not this time!" Loud explosions rang through the television as Seth cheered. "Yeah! Finally! You take that!" he whooped.

"Damn…" Teddy sighed.

"Teddy." Seth warned. "I said darn." Teddy excused.

"Sure." The shifter rolled his eyes.

"Hey Teddy, Seth, it's time to eat!" Harold called from the kitchen.

"Let's go, I'm hungry!" Teddy grabbed Seth's hand, making the shifter flush slightly.
