Peaceful Pleasantries - Siobhan

[carlisle cullen]

There was a peaceful coven located in the Caribbean this Carlisle had been told about a few times, this interested him as did the news of more vegetarian vampires, it seemed the alternative food source was spreading besides the Denali coven he did not know of any others. This was what had brought him to Jamaica in search of the saint as they called her, it was the weekend which meant the hospital could survive without him for awhile. Carlisle had come alone, he always did when approaching a new coven even if they were peaceful it looked better to arrive alone than with everyone, Emmett looked intimidating as did Jasper with his scars, so it was easier for him to go alone.

Carlisle followed the scent of vampires through the town it was late in the day around early evening so the sun was low in the sky meaning his skin did not sparkle to much making him obvious. The place he arrived at was rather grand, but subtle in Carlisle's opinion it must be quite a wonderful location to spend time. He walked down the path quite unsure of how to make his presence known, they would be aware of his scent that was obvious but how would they react to another vampire around. He was not a person for fighting that everyone knew he was a lover of peace too, which was why he was here to bridge the gap between this coven and his own to help continue to spread the word of peace. With everything that had happened with the Volturi over the past century he did have to make his coven right again in the eyes of the world, they were known for their trouble with the Volturi and he hoped to remedy that by extending the hand of peace to this coven, not that he minded Carlisle enjoyed meeting new vampires and new friends. This was what he enjoyed after over a century of being alone, friends and associates made living more bearable or at least for him.

Stepping up he knocked on the door gently waiting for a response, it was best to act the most human he had found and it was the best way to fit in, though these vampires would know he was one of them instantly. He smiled running a hand through his hair the way he always did when he was thinking about the new possibilities and abilities this coven could posses that he could learn about, it was all very exciting in his opinion.

Her eyes were closed as she rested on the back porch of her home, many feet away from the door, and resting herself in the evening sun. She glittered like a living diamond in the vibrant sunlight, and took in an unnecessary breath of air. Siobhan stared up through the planks of her gazebo, through the hanging wisteria and smiled up as she watched seagulls pass overhead. Today was turning out to be another perfect day in paradise for her, not a single disturbance coming.. So far at least.

Siobhan sat up and pulled her light shawl over her shoulders as she walked through her house, back to the fridge. There she opened the door and got out a packet of animal blood, grabbing a glass and a crazy straw, pouring the cold substance into the glass and beginning to sip from the crazy straw. She smiled as she sipped and twirled a little bit, careful not to spill any blood on her blue silk dress. The folds of the dress whirled about her ankles, as the empire-style get up twisted with her movements.

However, every quiet moment must be disturbed, as her doorbell rung and she stopped mid-twirl, taking in a deep breath to pick up the scent. Not the distinctive smell of Volturi, but something different.. Still a vampire. She strode forward to the door, her cup in hand, and opened the door with a smile and curiosity in her eyes. Siobhan stared at the individual for a moment, took a sip of her drink, swallowed and smiled. "Well don't just stand thar child, come on inside!" she exclaimed ushering the stranger in. She waited till he came inside, and closed the door behind him, taking another sip of her drink. "Come into tah kitchen an' ah'll get yah a drink set up; yah must be thirsty from yah travels. While ah do that, do tell meh wah brings yah here, dearie." she stated as she traversed down the hallways and back to the kitchen, getting another packet of animal blood and a glass.

Carlisle smiled at the female vampire not even getting a chance to introduce himself before he was invited into the house and offered a drink "Thank you, it's a lovely place you have here" he explained, it did make I'm smile that she chose to call him boy, wondering whether in age he really was a boy in comparison to her, besides this vampire theonlu person to call him boy had been his father the horrible priest who had killed innocent people mistakenly, but then again Carlisle was hardly with a clean conscious when it came to this matter. The only difference between him and his father was that he had been quite good in locating vampires so good that he'd managed to get himself bitten, still that was behind him now.

Carlisle watched her use of blood bags that was intriguing alone, they went for the stored form of blood whilst his coven hunted more frequently preferring the fresher type. By the scent he could tell it was animal blood she must have known by the colour of his eyes, he had also noticed the same golden colour present in her eyes. This was also interesting as he had meet very few other vampires that had taken up animal blood of their own accord, he had convinced many but he was fascinated to learn more from others. "My name is Carlisle Cullen and well I came here intrigued by the peaceful coven you have set up, my own coven is located in America a town called Forks and I've heard a lot about your vegetarian ways and I was curious" he admitted running a hand through his hair as he did this was a habit of his that he'd picked up from spending time interacting with humans and working to fit in with their world.

She smiled as she poured his drink and he went about explaining himself to her. Siobhan threw the plastic packet away and handed the drink to him across the counter, staring up at him. He seemed friendly enough, but she was sure Urhi would regard him with a lot more caution than she did. Also, Urhi might be treated with a little more respect too. It was moments like these she wished she didn't still look like a teenager barely on the cusp of womanhood.

"Ah, now ah know who yah are. Yah tah ones who 'ad that great big conflict with tah Volturi ovah yah child." she stated calmly as she took a drink of her blood through the crazy straw and sighed. "Sorry we didna come to yah aid. We were split over whether or not we should help; so in tah end ah decided it best not tah risk any of their lives. " Her eyes glimmered with a hint of sadness, she stood tall and waved for him to follow her into the living room. She gave a brief pause at the statue of Jesus hanging on the cross, making the cross symbol across her body and giving a brief pause to send a prayer up skyward.

She turned and gave a smile to Carlisle, pushing her long hair over her shoulder. "Sorry 'bout that. Some of us still stick close to old ways..." she chuckled, and continued on their trek into the living room. Once there she sat down, curling her legs beneath her as she rested comfortably in her high-backed armchair. "Ah do hope yah drink is to yah liking. Ah prefer for them not tah hunt, even though ah enjoy tah taste of fresh blood as well as any other. Ah don't want them tah get caught or hurt, but thar are some who do so anyways." she states with a weary sigh, sipping a little more on her drink. "So, yah planning on staying a few days, or are yah leaving this aftahnoon? Its not that ah don't mind tah company, ah just need tah know whether or not ah should fix a room up for yah." she said with a vibrant smile, clearly excited about her new guest. "But if yah do 'ave tah go, bring back yah family next time. We'll teach 'em tah wrestle sharks an' all kinds of less than noteworthy skills."

As the other vampire spoke about knowing them from their encounter with the volturi obviously he smiled and nodded "Yes it was a little misunderstanding and I respect you for considering though hold no resentment for you not doing do everyone has their own covens and family to think of and they come first, before everything else" Carlisle was surprised about how much their reputation had preceded him as he was offered a glass of animal blood along with her explanation. It did surprise him that she had heard and even considered helping his coven, since at the time they had only appealed to vampires they knew and that he had met over the years so it was surprising that a coven of vampires who had not known them at all had thought about coming to their aid.

As she moved he followed her sipping the glass as he sat down on the sofa placing the glass behind him, crossing his legs the way he always did to make him appear more human to the world even though in terms of comfort it made no difference. "I does make a change and I guess it must be more convenient then actually having to hunt if you have it all here" It reminded him of when Bella was pregnant with Renesmee and how they had tried to store the blood for her in the fridge, since then it had actually seemed like quite a good idea and it gave their refrigerator some use instead of just sitting in the corner. The excitement from the other vampire surprised him further as most vampires were at least cautious of new vampires and he had to admit it was like having Jasper around he felt so calm and relaxed. "Oh I don't want to be any trouble, I am just passing through and thought I would make your acquaintance" At the idea of bringing everyone down here for a holiday Carlisle smiled he knew Emmett would like tot come down here and try out Shark wrestling as would Jasper and Edward it would keep them all busy, as for the others maybe a change of scenery would do them all good. "Thank you I will take this suggestion back to them all I am sure they would enjoy the change of scenery for a little while and the Shark wrestling? that will definitely spark some interest" He nodded slowly "My apologies I did not catch your name?" Carlisle asked politely not wanting to seem rude or as if he was not paying attention, but all the stories named this vampire almost a saint, but had never truly given her an actual name or at least the ones he had read had not.
