Y/N was a witch. Her parents had been killed by vampires when she was 15. Y/N had escaped the vampires before they found her and had been on the run for so long.

She bumped into a small coven of vampires, American nomads. At first they were going to kill her but their leader thought it would be a good idea to keep her alive and use her to protect themselves.

They introduced themselves as James, Victoria, and Laurent. Not knowing they were using her for their own personal gain, Y/N accepted their offer to take her in and traveled with them.

The truth was, Y/N didn't know much magic. Her father was the type to keep a few spell books, just in case they came in handy. But her mother had said that if they wanted to stay alive, they needed to keep magic away until it was absolutely necessary.

But Y/N was able to come in contact with a few spells that she could use to help protect her new vampire 'family'. She wasn't all powerful but she knew enough basic spells to keep her and her vampires safe.

During her time with the vampires, Y/N felt like she needed to leave. She thought she could find a new home for herself and build a life. But James didn't want her to leave, he wanted her to stay so they could use her power.

To keep her with them, James convinced Laurent, who didn't want to deceive Y/N in such a cruel way, to make her believe he was her One. For the greater good of his coven, Laurent agreed.

Being the still naïve little witch Y/N was, she believed him and stayed. She protected the coven and tried to learn as much magic as she could.

17 year old Y/N and her coven were passing through Forks, Washington. She stayed wherever they told her to and did as they told, basically their little pet. She was too unfamiliar of what family was anymore to know that what she had wasn't that.

Somehow, her magic could feel that there was something else in this town. Something different from what she had encountered before. But she kept quiet, she didn't want to tell her coven and then end up being wrong. James didn't like it when she said something that wasn't right.

They were out hunting and she was trying to find out if she could find anything else to do as she waited for them to return. She began to go to a gas station or something and pick up something to eat to pass the time but she didn't want to get in trouble for leaving without their permission.

After a while, they came back. Y/N greeted them with a warm smile as they walked through the door. James gave her a half smirk in return, it wasn't exactly a nice one, it was cocky and full of arrogance. Victoria looked at her, flashed a smirk and a wink, and followed James.

Being his mate, Y/N expected nothing less. Laurent saw her and gave her a smile as well, not as warm as the one she'd given, but warm enough to acknowledge the fact that he wasn't being unkind.

James wasn't the most fond of Y/N, he acknowledge her existence but didn't really talk to her unless he was giving her an order or something. Victoria was a little nicer. They were 'friends' but that was as far as it would ever go.

Laurent was a different story. Even if he didn't love her, he was kind to her. Over the time they'd known each other, Laurent found that he found her presence pleasing. He thought of her as a really close friend but pretended to be more for hers and his own sake.

As James and Victoria went to the other room, Y/N gave Laurent a hug, kissing his cheek. "How was your hunt?" She asked with a small smile.

He shrugged and told her, "The same a usual."

Y/N nodded. She didn't exactly like the fact that they hunted humans but she never commented on it. She'd ask how it was and that was that.

The rest of the night was filled with Y/N relaxing with Laurent and trying to read to distract herself from the love-making going on in the other room between Victoria and James.

-

The days went by and soon, Y/N and her coven were getting ready to leave for another area. She packed the little things she had and headed out with them, using a spell to match their speed.

As they ran, a sound caught Y/N's ears. It was loud, like thunder. What made it curious was the fact that the thunderstorm that was meant to pick up soon had not even hit yet. Suddenly, Laurent jumped in the air, catching something swiftly before coming back down.

He looked down at the object in his hand. A baseball. He looked back up with a smirk, "Vampires." He looked at Y/N, who didn't know whether to smile back or shy away.

James turned to Y/N swiftly and told her in his slightly taunting and condescending voice, "You, little witch, remember that they cannot know you're a witch. They'll-"

"Kill me." She finished, gulping a little.

He nodded, "You know the drill."

She nodded back to him and then looked down at her feet to show that she would comply. James nodded in approval and they began to walk in, Y/N standing just behind Laurent as they moved.

She knew she was sticking out like a sore thumb, her shyness a large contrast to their confident movement.

When she found herself in a large open field with vampires. All with golden eyes, she realized what she had been feeling in that town that was so different. These vampires were golden-eyed, they were good. The slight purity of them seemed to stick out compared to the impurity of the vampires she'd called her coven.

Though, there was something there that made her curious. She felt something different from the vampires that surrounded her.

Human.

The pale skinned vampires before her huddled together and watched as they strolled in, standing their ground.

Laurent held up the baseball with a grin, "I believe this belongs to you." He tossed the ball blindingly fast to the golden haired man at the front and center of the group. He caught the ball quickly and easily, smiling politely, "Thank you."

Y/N's eyes wandered over the coven. The beauty of the Sun Children, like the legends said, never ceased to draw her in.

Her eyes scanned over the eight figures standing there confidently. She quickly found the human and her eyes stayed on her a little longer than they should have before they moved once again.

There was the golden-blonde haired man who appeared to be the leader, then a woman with beautiful brown hair. The dark brown haired man with a build that made him look like he could take on a bear even if he were human stood tall but casually, a smirk on his face to show his cockiness. Another gorgeous golden-blonde haired woman stood there as well.

The other vampires were a short dark brown haired girl with pixie hair that seemed to oddly stick out in all the right places and a golden-blonde haired man who looked more on edge than any of the others. He seemed in his element while also being a fish out of water.

His vampire charm seemed to pull Y/N in a little. She moved her eyes away from him before she got too enchanted by his looks. She found the human and the vampire leaning over her protectively. The vampire had dark brown hair and didn't seem very comfortable with the situation in the least bit, a large contrast to the rest of the coven who seemed laid back enough. The brunette human seemed curious and a little scared.

Y/N could sense the ones with gifts. They seemed to stick out, have a certain glow about them as a result of them once being referred to as the "Chosen Ones".

Laurent introduced them all, breaking Y/N from her daze as she observed the vampires before her, "I am Laurent. And this is Victoria, James, and Y/N." James was focused on the human, staring interested at her and the brunette towering over her protectively.

Y/N shifted slightly as she was introduced. She didn't want to seem to out of the ordinary, vampire wise, but she was never really good at seeming confident. Her witch secret had always left her unconscious and it didn't help that both her parents, when they were alive, were always slightly scared of what their heritage could bring to them.

"I'm Carlisle, this is my family." The leader of the coven introduced, looking toward the group of gorgeous vampires.

Laurent smiled as he responded, "Hello." As Y/N's coven watched Carlisle's intensely, Y/N noticed the focused eyes watching them back.

Carlisle spoke, "I'm afraid your hunting activities have caused something of a mess for us."

Laurent replied, "Our apologies. We didn't realize this territory had been claimed." Y/N glanced at him for a split second before looking back to the large coven, glad James was too focused on the human to notice her hesitance.

Carlisle continued, "Yes, well, we maintain a permanent residence nearby."

Laurent looked over at James, who doesn't glance back, then over to Victoria and Y/N. His look of surprise was exchanged with Victoria, while Y/N only looked uncomfortable. Laurent questioned, "Really?"

He finally looked back a Carlisle and told him, "Well, we won't be a problem anymore."

Victoria spoke up then, "The humans were tracking us, but we lead them East. You should be safe."

Y/N squirmed a little under the gaze of so many vampires, never being this exposed to so many before. This didn't go unnoticed by any of them. The only gaze that didn't burn into her skin was the gaze of the human who never stayed fixated on one person.

Carlisle nodded to her with a polite smile, "Excellent."

Laurent spoke then, "So, could you use four more players?"

James corrected rather quickly, the first time he'd spoken since they arrived, "Three more players." Y/N didn't want to admit it but she felt slightly relieved that she wasn't playing, she didn't know how to play and highly doubted she'd be able to catch up to everyone and not end up getting injured by their speed and strength.

Laurent revised, "Of course...three more players."

Y/N could feel more than one gaze on her now from the rather large coven standing before her. Carlisle's coven looked over at their leader quickly.

"Oh, come on. Just one game." Laurent spoke, his voice light-hearted.

Carlisle's smile returned, a small slightly nervous chuckle with his words, "Sure, why not? A few of us were leaving. You can take their place. Who'll bat first?"

Victoria caught the baseball as Carlisle threw it over to Y/N. Victoria quickly covered for her, catching the ball before it hit her. It took everything she had not to flinch at the ball getting so close or flat out scream.

Victoria smiled, "I'm the one with the wicked curve ball."

One of Carlisle's coven members spoke, instantly drawing Y/N in, "Oh, well, I think we can handle that." The smirk that had spread across his lips only worked to draw Y/N in more, but she had to act unphased by it.

Laurent smiled, glad that they were able to have some fun, "Oh!" Carlisle's coven smiled as they started going to their positions. Laurent turned to Y/N and told her, "Why don't you find a spot to watch?"

Y/N nodded, grabbing his hand quickly, giving a little squeeze, and turning toward the way they came so she could find a good spot to watch from.
