Bree lives and has a gift, it backfires of course
“Bree, this is Maggie, she’d part of the Irish coven and-“ Carlisle hovers behind smiling.
“You were starving too.” Bree blurts out.
“Bree! We do not use our gifts like that.” Esme scold tapping her shoulder. Bree ducks her head in shame.
“Sorry mom. I just, sorry.” She shakes her head as Maggie holds her hand out.
“I can tell you mean it.” She winks and Bree smiles.
“You can?”
“Lying is my specialty, yours though, seems far more interesting?” Maggie leans in and Bree lights up.
“Mom said it’s something like I can tell how a vampire was turned, or how they were as a human before it!” Maggie’s eyes light up as well.
“Really? That’s incredible! Show me!!” Maggie tugs her towards the rest of the coven, pointing at a man who lounges on the couch.
“This is Liam! He’s like my brother I guess and-“
“Whoa a war? That’s so cool!!” Bree claps her hands and steps forward. Liam bristles.
“Why on earth do you’s have so many fucking gifted ones, like you’re gunning for the Volturi’s anger now. Fucking ejets, you are. The lot of you.” Liam scowls glaring at Carlisle who smirks.
“Say the one sitting in our living room..” Liam’s scowl deepens.
“We’re just here cause of Maggie’s crush.” He smirks and Maggie scowls stamping her foot.
“It’s not a crush!!” Liam and Carlisle both raise their eyebrows sharing a look and laughing.
“It’s not!” Bree echoes and Maggie coughs, choking slightly.
“What?’ Bree turns nervously covering her mouth.
“It wasn’t a lie Mags! It’s not a crush! I don’t have a crush on you!!!” Bree shrieks panicked and ducking her head stepping back from Maggie who’s stopped breathing and is frozen on the spot.
“Maggie, dear, it’s alright.” Liam pats her shoulder, having stood and crossed to where she stands,
“What happened?”
“Maggie feels compelled to speak when she hear a lie. You ah, shouting it didn’t help.”
“You can’t have a crush on me I mean..” Maggie starts frowning at herself.
“But I do.” Maggie stays silent and Bree bites her lip.
“Bree how about you show Maggie how to hunt animals.” Carlisle nods gesturing to the door shoving both of them towards it.”
“Okay dad.” Bree nervously holds her hand out and Maggie takes it as they run off into the forest.
“You can visit anytime!” Carlisle shouts to her, Maggie turns her head laughing.
“What?”’ Bree turns at Maggie’s laugh.
“Your ah, dad, doesn’t want me to visit, he was lying.”
“Oh, well I can visit you and-“
“No he doesn’t want me to leave, he’s been trying to convince Liam and Siobhan to stay for decades! Now he just has one more reason to use against them.” She wink and darts off further.
“I can’t smell any deer, will a mountain lion do?” Bree laughs with her as they rush deeper into the forest.
