Description
They watched as three people emerged from the forest. They were barefoot, dressed in a mixture of fashion. Two men, one pale with long dirty blond hair, another African-American with long dreadlocks and pasty dark skin. The female had long reddish curls cascading down her back in wild locks. She had white fur around her shoulder. They all had red eyes.

"Hello." Carlisle stepped up as a father figure and leader of the coven.

The dark-skinned one smiled. "I am Laurent." He appeared to be the leader. "And this is Victoria," His head leaned to the woman to his left, then to his right, "and James."

"I'm Carlisle. This is my family." Carlisle's head moved to gesture to his family beside him, "I am afraid your hunting activity has caused something of a mess for us."

Laurent's eyebrow rose, "Our apologies. We didn't realize the territory had been claimed."

Carlisle gave the nod and replied, "Yes, well, we maintain permanent resident nearby."

"Really?" Laurent asked, surprised, and it was not common for vampires to settle down permanently. The majority of them were nomads like them, moving around constantly. He looked to James, seeing the other vampire eyeing the coven. He needed to talk to James; they had been overstaying in the area far too long. There was something up, and he is beginning not to like it. James was a hunter. He likes to hunt down specific people that attracts his attention.

James smirked as he eyed each of the Cullens.

Laurent turned back to Carlisle and smiled, "Well, we won't be a problem anymore. We're just passing through."

The red-headed woman spoke up, "The humans were tracking us, but we lead them east. You should be safe."

Carlisle smiled at her, "Excellent."

Laurent chuckled, "So, could you use three more players?" Alice and Rosalie glanced at Carlisle. The older man looked severe. Then Laurent noticed the hesitation from the Cullens family. "Oh, come on. Just one game."
