Traitor in the Midst (Mira)

[Pete]

Pete heard a knocking on Mira's door and watched as Phil went and answered it. Pete smiled as he saw Demetri, one of the higher up vampires. "Как это было?" Pete asked, slipping into his native tongue of Russian. Pete watched as Demetri smiled and answered back. Pete went and sat on Mira's bed, she hadn't changed it since she kicked Bruce to the curb.

Pete knew he wasn't here to just socialize. "Что не так?" he asked as Mira entered the room again. He had come here to check on her, since they both hadn't seen Brookelle in about a week. Demetri looked at Mira and smiled "Brookelle был замечен в Fangtasia с оборотнем и оставлен с ним." Pete looked over at Demetri stunned. Brookelle hated anyone that wasn't a vampire. "What?" Pete yelled. "What one?" Pete said, knowing that Metri would tell him who. He knew Pete was protective of Brookelle because she was like his sister, that and she was rather weak.

[Mira]

Mira listened to teh conversation not saying a word. This was the first time she ahd been out of her room since she confronted Bruce about not being able to marry him and thinking that it would be better off with him jsut being a friend. She had been hurt but when she looked into his eyes she was certain that he was more hurt then she had been. Even as he held his head up high and stated that it was okey and he would be fine she could see it writen all over his face. As Mira heared that Brookelle had left the bar with a werewolf she had no doubt in her mind that it was Bruce. She felt like all her heart had been broken stabed crushed and stomped on. Mira only let her face looked hurt for a split of a second before recovering and listening to what Pete had to say.

"What, What one!"

Mira should of known that Pete would act like this. She was like a sister to him and even though she was shy and below him she was strong. Mira knew that but she sometimes woundered if Pete knew this. She could see in the way that Pete tensed that he was not going to allow this. While Pete would most likly try to find a way to seperate them both Mira would not. She was not up to breaking Bruces heart anytimes soon. Not only that but Brookelle could take care of herself. As long as Mira keep the Naturi out of the area then she say no reason to have to worry abotu Brookelle and Bruce. As Mira placed her hands on her hips she looked at Pete sternly and with athorite before speeking to him.

"Pete you know as much as i do who she most likly left with. You will hold your tongue when you talk to her about this. She might be weaker then you or I but she is strong enough to take care of herself even if it is a werewolf. I broke Bruces heart because i needed you as my guard and because you had a point. But you will not ruin Brookelles feelings. If she wants to date him she can if she just wants them to be friends with him then she can. But you mister will let her decide for herself. As long as i keep the Naturi out of our hairs then brookelle will be fine. And even if she isn't then we will be there to help her. She isn't a little kid anymore shes a ful grown vampire. Let her choose for herself!" Mira stated keep her eyes on him for a few more seconds so she proved her point. Then she turned to Dametri and began to talk to him sternly. "Is there anything else you need to state before i kick you would of my home?"

[Pete]

Pete looked over at Mira when she came out. She didn't really know Demetri, he was more of Pete's friend, but Mira knew everyone one way or another. Either through Pete or Brookelle mostly. They knew almost everyone together. Brookelle was like his little sister. She was quite younger than both Mira and Pete, both of them being over a century old, and she just hitting 6 decades later that year.

"Pete you know as much as i do who she most likely left with. You will hold your tongue when you talk to her about this. She might be weaker then you or I but she is strong enough to take care of herself even if it is a werewolf. I broke Bruce's heart because i needed you as my guard and because you had a point. But you will not ruin Brookelle's feelings. If she wants to date him she can if she just wants them to be friends with him then she can. But you mister will let her decide for herself. As long as i keep the Naturi out of our hairs then Brookelle will be fine. And even if she isn't then we will be there to help her. She isn't a little kid anymore shes a full grown vampire. Let her choose for herself!"

Pete was furious now. Mira knew how to push his buttons. Although he could be hard headed, he didn't want his little sister with a dog. It was bad enough Mira had dated one, now his sister was dating the same one. And even threatening to kill his best friend. "Mira I know you have to be mad, and want to break them up. I mean he was your Fiance. Not hers." Pete really didn't want Brookelle near him. He would snap any minute, whether Naturi were there or not.

[Mira]

Mira shook her head slowly at Pete and sighed, keeping her arms crossed. She was a little jealous at her and really really hurt over the situation but she couldn't bring herself to be angry with her nor him. She knew Pete was worried about his lil sister and she knew that he hated all werewolves and lycans but that didn't mean that Brookelle had too. Brookelle had been alive for while and she had grown a lot in her life as a vampire. It was about time that she found some peace with herself. She hadn't been human in a while and like all creatures dateing with the opposite gender or the same for some helped them feel human. Even if they were not. And as much as it hurt Mira to know that the one person she had loved in all her years a vampire was dating someone close to her she couldn't bring herself to be angered at either of them. She just wanted them to be happy if it was meant to be or not. It was still there decision.

"Pete. I know your angered over this and I know shes like your little sister. But I am still putting my foot down. There is no reason she cant find peace as a vampire and date for once. Think about it. When was the last time you saw her with someone that made her happy. Someone that made her feel human." .Mira looked at Pete ina motherly way. Her eyes filled with concern like any adult would be for there underlines. But as Mira looked at Pete she knew that he wouldn't change his mind about not liking Brookelle with her fiance. Mira sighed heavily and pinched the bridge of her nose with her thumb and pointer fingers. She closed her eyes and looked down before speaking "Fine you know what we'll give it a month. If we run into any problems then we'll break the two of them up. But I am NOT going to break Brookelles heart and neither are you Pete. Understood?!"

[Pete]

Pete smiled as he listened to her thoughts. She was jealous of Brookelle. And rightfully so. Technically Bruce was her fiance. Until Pete told her that he might kill her, and it was true. If any Naturi came around she was fucked. Needless to say he didn't want his little sister dating a dog. Let alone possibly fucking him.

"Pete. I know your angered over this and I know shes like your little sister. But I am still putting my foot down. There is no reason she cant find peace as a vampire and date for once. Think about it. When was the last time you saw her with someone that made her happy. Someone that made her feel human."

Pete shook his head. He had seen her happy plenty of times. Usually when him and their friends were partying in Fangtasia. "My little sister doesn't need to date a dog, i'm fine with her dating someone else. But not a dog." Pete yelled. Pete was hot headed a lot of the time, thats another reason that he wouldn't try for head vampire. Not only would Mira kill him in a split second, but then other vampires would team up and take him down. Although Pete would see Brookelle being an Amazing head vampire, she just wasn't mean enough for it. She'd let way to many people get away with Murder.

"Fine you know what we'll give it a month. If we run into any problems then we'll break the two of them up. But I am NOT going to break Brookelles heart and neither are you Pete. Understood?!"

"A MONTH!" he yelled. He didn't even like the idea of them being together now, let alone probably what they could do in a month. "Not understood. If what i say gets to her too, then its her own fault, i'm not letting her be with a dog, not while i'm alive at least" he said while he looked over at Demetri. He knew that Demetri didn't like Bruce already either, from the sounds of it, Brookelle promised that Mira, Pete, Bruce, and herself were going to kill him, it was more like Demetri and Pete would be killing Bruce and Mira and Brookelle trying to stop them, and Bruce fighting back.

[Mira]

"My little sister doesn't need to date a dog, I'm fine with her dating someone else. But not a dog. Not understood. If what i say gets to her too, then its her own fault, I'm not letting her be with a dog, not while I'm alive at least"

Mira glared at Pete and stomped over to him raised her hand and slapped him across the face, making sure not to use all of her strength but enough to knock him back. If he was a human she knew that the strength she just used on him would make the side of his face all red and most likely tears come to his eyes. But he wasn't a human. If tears did come to his eyes it would be blood tears. Mira loved Pete he was part of her family and part of her army. But some times even a mother has to teach her children discipline. She looked at Pete and keep her eyes from showing any tears. Pete KNEW she was NOT over Bruce yet. He KNEW that she still loved him and that she was more hurt then anything over there break up and he thought that it would be nice to call him a DOG.

"Don't you EVER call Bruce a dog while I'm around DO YOU HEAR ME! And my foot is down you wait ONE MONTH. If I find out YOU had any say in Brookelle and Bruce breaking up then You will be in trouble. She is 50 years old! She might not be as old as you but shes old enough to make choices on her own." Mira swung her head over at Demetri and glared at him challenging him to move to wards her or speak against her. "As for you if you speak one word about this to anyone I might just take your head off." Mira hated that she was doing this she hated it. But she had to speak up for the one person in the whole town that was like a daughter to her. She just wanted for Brookelle to feel normal even if she wasn't. She wanted Brookelle away from all the commotion of battle. Bruce hadn't proposed to her in 5 years so them dating for a month and seeing how it went wasn't a problem in Mira's eyes. Not to mention the naturi hadn 't shown up in over a month and a half.

[Pete]

Pete watched as Mira walked up to him. He knew that he had pushed a few buttons that he probably shouldn't have. As she smacked him across the face Pete looked over towards Demetri. He hated Mira and Bruce right now. Mira for slapping him and making him wait a month before he was able to break up Brookelle and Bruce and Bruce for even thinking about dating his sister. Pete looked at Demetri and closed his eyes, he knew he was going to overstep a huge line at this point.

"Don't you EVER call Bruce a dog while I'm around DO YOU HEAR ME! And my foot is down you wait ONE MONTH. If I find out YOU had any say in Brookelle and Bruce breaking up then You will be in trouble. She is 50 years old! She might not be as old as you but shes old enough to make choices on her own. As for you if you speak one word about this to anyone I might just take your head off."

Pete turned away from Mira. "Consider me out of your family. I'll stay in Chicago, but don't depend on me to do anything for you. I'm out. Done. I'm not doing anything to help you anymore. I'll listen to the rule's you've set in place for Vampires, no killing, and whatnot, but do NOT think that i'll take any of your threats lightheartedly." Pete said while walking away. He wasn't going to deal with this. The next thing that he would probably do is fight back, physically not just with his words. He never thought of Mira as a parental figure, but she was their leader. He was second in command and held high respect from many of the vampires, the vampires were just afraid of Mira, she could kill any of them easily.

Pete looked over at Demetri. "Hey Demetri, lets go party at Fangtasia again, maybe we'll meet some humans on the way, they'll be good play toys for the night" Pete said in spite of Mira. He didn't want anything to do with the affairs of the vampires at the moment, he was fine just partying and dealing with who he was going to feed off of next, not who he would have to go check up on next.

[Mira]

Mira looked at Pete as he yelled and stood up. Mira knew that this would be happening some point in Pete's life. He was still so young and so hot headed. His temper needed to be fixed and sooner or later his temper was going to get the better of him then he would be in so much trouble. Mira knew that even though he was leaving that Mira would be watching over him. He was part of her family if he liked it or not. They had known each other a few centuries and this wasn't something that hadn't happened before. But Mira knew that after Brookelle had been turned Pete had become almost like a father to wards her. Even though he thought of her as a younger sister he acted more like an overly protective father. Mira closed her eyes, looked down and smirked.

"I can't stop you from doing what you want Pete. But you know the rules and you know what you can and can't do. Im leaving tonight for some work over in Europe. I was going to leave you in charge but i guess I'll have to leave Brookelle." Mira stated these things calmly and assertively. She walked passed the two young vampires and out the door heading over to Bruce's house so that she could inform Brookelle of her leaving and of the events that had happened while she was gone.
