Hi, hope you’re doing well!

Could I ask for Egyptian coven reactions to a new younger member of the coven(not an immortal child but like Jane/Alec 13-ish young). Maybe like Amun and Kebi being more parental/elder strict figures while Benjamin and Tia are the fun older siblings. The youngster could have a gift or not - whichever works better.

Thanks,

Anon ✨

I LOVE THE EGYPTIAN COVEN

I enjoyed writing this tooooo much omg

·Amun found you while sloppily feeding yourself,so he took you with him to train you and stopping you from causing more disasters around the city

·He knew you were a youn newborn,physically you were at most 14 and non even two years passed by since you were changed

·The moment you enter his home Benjamin and Tia were sweet peas around you

·Kebi developed a mother insticnt towards you because you remember her to her younger self

·Kebi will adore choosing your clothes for each day and doing different hairstyles to you all days

·With that,Amun also developed a father insticnt towards you,protecting you from everything and always taking you with him whenever he goes hunt

·Benjamin and Tia sees you as their little sister,playing around with you

·Benjamin loves to mess with you but you always have Tia on your back helping you

·With you they became a family

Twilight Advent Day 21: What 5 characters always have with them

Tanya- A spare shirt (linking to my genderfluid Tanya HC), either a tighter or looser one depending on what she was already wearing.

Esme- Pen and paper, so she can write down or draw ideas for building designs

Caius- A dagger, he just does, he doesn't need it, but likes them, it annoys Aro

Tia- Rings, I don't know why but she gives me vibes of having a mass amount of rings on her person at any given point

Bree- A book, this is canon (from memory) and I love it so much. I feel like she is the type to read a fantasy or sci-fi depending on her mood.

Yandere Egyptian coven headcanons - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Since they mostly go out at night, you most likely had caught one of them feeding or caught there eye while taking a nighttime walk

In my opinion i think this could go 2 ways, depending on who saw you first.

If it were Amun and Kebi I think it would be more of a platonic yandere thing maybe where you reminded them of a child. in this scenario, you could be either a human or a young vampire (turned around teenage years).

Benjamin and Tia would pretty much be like siblings, Tia being the quiet sister who would help you with homework or chores and Benjamin would be the brother who always helped bail you out of trouble.

If Benjamin and Tia found you congrats, you have two lovesick vampire puppy's.

They would probably take you in that moment not caring on the earful Amun would give them when they returned home.

If human, they would explain everything and inevitably turn you.

If a vampire, they would mostly stick to introductions.

No matter what the situation, you'll end up with the whole coven yandere for you in some way.

Things I think about on a daily basis:

What do the Egyptian Coven do all day in their house to pass the time?

What was Amun’s reaction when Benjamin brought a newborn Tia back?

Does Maggie ever feel like a 3rd wheel?

At what point does Renesmee turn on her family and go on an absolute human blood drinking spree?

How soon do Jasper and Alice leave The Cullens to live on their own after the events of BD?

How does Alastair feel after hearing about the aftermath of The Cullen/Volturi confrontation? How does his and Carlisle’s next meeting go in 200 years?

[therealvinelle]

Kudos for your amazing meta-posts and stories! I was wondering about Benjamin, since he comes up a few times in your fics. I looked him up on a fandom page, where it says “Edward mentions that B has a good attitude as well as a clear sense of right and wrong, and likes him for it.” I did like B when I read the books (years ago), but now that I’ve read your interpretation of Edward's own sense of morality that sentence sounds a bit... suspicious. Do you have any thoughts on Benjamin?

Thank you!

As for Benjamin, I do and I don't.

What we know about Benjamin

Benjamin was a street urchin in Kairo who was talent scouted by Amun, who recognised Benjamin's street performance as something more than mere human artistry. He took Benjamin away, turned him, and Benjamin turned out to be a powerhouse.

Having never gotten over the loss of Demetri, however, Amun made himself Benjamin's jailor, telling him that he needed to stay with Amun and hide if he wanted to be safe from the Volturi, keeping him locked up in a temple he wasn't allowed to set foot outside. A fiercely possessive man, Amun did not agree to let Benjamin see his old friend Tia, and Benjamin had to leave to seek her out and turn her himself in his only act of rebellion.

He and Tia have been living with Amun and Kebi ever since, with Kebi envious of Benjamin's importance to Amun and Tia never growing to trust Amun and Kebi the way Benjamin so easily did.

When Breaking Dawn rolls around and Benjamin sees a chance to stand up to the shadow forces that have forced him and his loved ones to remain in hiding for so very long and perhaps win his freedom along the way, it's an obvious choice for him to fight.

Worth noting that Benjamin is fifteen years old, and Tia is seventeen.

My thoughts on Benjamin

Benjamin has allowed himself to be defined by the narrative Amun told to him, and I don't think it's coincidence Amun turned him at such an impressionable age. Benjamin allowed himself to be kept locked up for five years straight and remained in hiding for centuries, with no hint of rebellion on the horizon: this is a boy who doesn't at all question the truth that Amun protects him from the Volturi.

Interestingly, it's not that he's not capable of standing up to Amun, in fact he does so whenever he has reason to. He missed his friend, Amun didn't want him to risk the excursion, Benjamin gave him the finger and turned her. He wanted to fight the Volturi, Amun didn't: sorry, Amun, but we're fighting the Volturi.

The only reason he does as Amun says with regards to hiding in Egypt, the only means Amun has of controlling him, is the boogeyman Aro, and Amun knows this. Benjamin, who doesn't understand why Amun wouldn't want to fight the Volturi and assumes cowardice is the only reason... doesn't.

Even Tia, who has two years on him and, being a girl, statistically would have a more developed brain than him, is only seventeen years old and while she's more critical of Amun she's not going to question the necessity of hiding from the Volturi either. As the Guide phrases it, being able to protect him from the Volturi was part of her motivation for giving up her humanity.

All of this to say that Benjamin is fifteen years old, he acts exactly that age and I unfortunately don't see a happy ending in store for him. He will either keep believing in the worldview Amun told to him and live in captivity until some new opportunity or another to overthrow the Volturi comes along, or something will happen to dispel him of his beliefs in which case I can only imagine he'll do something extremely rash.

Hi,

Love your work!

Wanted to ask how you headcannon the dynamic between the Egyptian coven? Like between the mate pairs and between the older and younger members?

Thanks and hope you have a great week!

EGYPTIAN COVEN DYNAMIC

Hi lovely🎀

Really happy someone asked for them ,they have my heart honestly

To be honest i think they act mainly like a family,all those centuries together really create a bond you know? I know Amun choosed Benjamin because of his gift ,but that doesn’t mean Amun doesn’t love or care for Benjamin ,he really does and that’s why he is overprotective of his whole coven.

Yes, he avoids fights ,but is him a coward for that? Not really . I do not think so .He acted like Alistair , “not my problem so why should i get my hands dirty?” Exactly

And he had all the reason for that to be honest ,why did he had to get his hands dirty and make his coven being in danger just because DickDward didn’t use condom? Any of the other covens should have support him but anyways thats not the ask but i would love to talk about it someday

So i do not think of him as a coward ,me myself i would have told Bella and Edward to fuck off and take those Renesmee thing out of my sight please and thank you

Anyways back to the askkkkk

Kebi and him are mates ,he knew from the moment she were human ,that’s when he changed her and well the rest is history,you know mate bond and shit right?

Yes i know what you all are thinking .Yes she was her slave and yes they did have human slaves .The Romanians did too. And the Volturi eat their secretaries for interrupting and the secretaries are basically slaves for them too. So honestly not much difference between the three covens.

But Amun loves Kebi to death, however i do think he has an old mindset when it comes to relationships as well as Kebi does ,that’s why she thinks Amun as a man is the one who should speak for both of them

But still a normal mate bond ,they love each other and won’t leave each other side

Then they found Benjamin but as long as i know Tia were found later

Also some people says Benjamin and Tia are related ?I don’t know but its that true?

Anyways until they found Tia ,Benjamin coven bond with Kebi and Amun grows up as Amun trains him during his newborn years and helps him take full control over his power

Then Tia appeared and this is when i believe the Coven did separate a bit ,as they still together and protecting each other but now they all are mated and not sticking together the four of them in the same room

Benjamin and Tia spend all the time together training Benjamin’s power and Tia helping him ,Amun usually has coven work to do and Kebi help him or try to mantain the clean in the “house”

They always hunt together, the four of them ,that’s for sure

Benjamin sees Amun as a dad ,a clever man who knows well in life and saved him for a better life including eternity

Kebi and Tia did not get along too well at the beggining ,but Kebi nurturing side came out of the light and she loves spending time with her ,treating each other as sisters

And last but not least they do not want anyone else in the Coven .They got used to each other and thats all they need.

Twilight Characters as Things my Family/Friends said Part 9:

"Force of Benjamin" - Tia joking about Benjamin's gift with Kate

(I feel like Kate and Tia would have become good friends during BD2)

[statisticalcats2]

I'll never get over part of Edward's resistance to biting/turning Bella was him being worried over losing control and just draining and killing her, blood is so tempting to vampires, it takes hundreds of years for a vampire to train themselves to have control over their bloodlust.

Then Benjamin was introduced and it was like "yeah he was kept completely isolated from humans for years except for feeding times but then he escaped his imprisonment and went out amongst humans to find his lost love Tia and he had no problem suddenly being around crowds of people and then had no problem personally biting/turning Tia."

(Also, Benjamin's respect for Tia is just so nice to see. When he sees she's gotten married in the years he was gone he has no intention of interfering with that, he just wants Tia to be happy. But he also doesn't leave Tia in ignorance, he reunites with her to let her know that he's alive and tells her what happened, because she's important to him and she deserves to know. And he's content gaining closure and leaving Tia to be happy in her marriage but she's actually not and asks him to take her with him and to turn her. And he does and there's no indication she was ever in any danger. This is basically the sexy, romantic vampire bite of the series but it happened in the past and off-page.)

Post is currently lost in nuked-blogland but I remember I had a post before that was like

Edward: "Who are you?"

Benjamin: "I'm you but better."

Anyway, I love Benjamin and Tia if that's not clear gfyeiwuh

[thecarnivorousmuffinmeta]

About the Egyptian coven:

"Kebi has little emotion for anyone besides Amun. Benjamin she tolerated because he made Amun happy, but she was somewhat jealous of the boy. When Benjamin brought Tia home, Kebi was pleased; she hoped Amun would be less entranced with the boy when it was clear he loved Tia more than Amun. Kebi‘s hopes about that rift were not entirely fulfilled, as Benjamin continued to love Amun as a father. But Amun‘s jealousy of Benjamin‘s affections, though well concealed, was enough to make Kebi content."

Please tell me I'm just paranoid and no one else gets groomer vibes from Amun and 'Kebi‘s jealousy'

Sorry, anon.

For what it's worth, I can believe this one's not sexual, that Amun is entirely using Benjamin for perceived power because of his gift and that Kebi is worried about being replaced by anyone but I don't think we can rule out what you're suggesting either.

Another point that could be in the favor of your theory: Amun doesn't like Tia at all. Now, this is in part because Tia doesn't blindly trust Amun, she has no gift, and could potentially lure Benjamin away from Amun but again it doesn't make it not possible.

I'd have to reread Breaking Dawn to see how the Egyptian coven interacts to really come back with an opinion as that'd be the tipping of the scales for me (Bella, obviously, would notice nothing but the key is to take note of what Bella doesn't notice).

A/N: For anyone that still cares about this, thank you for being patient because I’m trying to finish any series I swear (Sweats because she has like 10 more ideas she wants to start).

A/N: Also if anyone cares the next hunger games part should be up today or tomorrow depending on whether I take a nap today

➽───────────────❥

Benjamin stared at the snow falling around them. Focusing on every individual one falling to the ground before him. Grounding himself by smelling the heavy pine in the trees surrounding him. Wishing he had never asked to travel here. From Kebi’s strange behavior to learning about the extent of how grief could consume people, no parents, who truly cared for their children. Benjamin had not once thought about whether his disappearance caused any one strain. In fact, he knew it hadn’t. Save for Tia maybe, but she wasn’t even aware he had died, she’d been so shielded from anything outside of pleasing her husband.

“Benjamin?”

“Why were we not told about this? I would have never—”

“That is precisely why. It isn’t your burden to carry it was…or is ours. We knew what the outcome would be when our prior coven decided to fight. We came together for necessity, not realizing the volturi was willing to leave us be for the most part. We still see no need to fight senselessly. Our regret lies with the our lack of support and understanding of Sekhmet. We could have traveled further, not criticized her choices so harshly. I regret ending on the note that we did.” Amun paused as his memory flashed the look of anger and betrayal in his daughters eyes. Her pained look etched forever in his memories. Never quite letting him rest. “We should have known her heart, understood it more. I believe that she really thought she could take on the world and win, it was her downfall. If I could do it over I am not sure I would fight, but I would tell her how much she means to me. It’s a lesson that has taken me many years to learn.”

“You mean Demetri?”

“Yes. I may be strict with you but you need to know that I care about you and Tia greatly. I know I say I am strict because I care but in truth… I love both of you. You and Tia.”

“And now?”

“Hm?”

“You said you don’t regret not fighting before. What about now? Would you regret it?”

“We will support whatever choice you make. But Benjamin, this time it is not because I fear death or fear your mother getting hurt. But I will not take sides against my children. I have many failures. With Sekhmet, I told her I cared for her but did not support her decisions, with Demetri I supported him in whatever he wanted to do but I failed to let him know how much he was cared for. Mut, perhaps, not as badly but we failed him. We will never know with Sekhmet but with Demetri, we know had we said anything he would be with us still. It is a different almost stronger grief to lose someone that is still around.”

“Do you think the Cullens stand a chance, I mean truly?”

No. Maybe. Not really. “Yes. I cannot contribute to you or Tia or Demetri dying at my hands. We will bear witness and nothing more. I am- so sorry.” Amun cleared his throat. He knew regardless at least one of his children would not make it back, the thought brought back the sense of unease and immense guilt. Another lifetime of questioning whether he made the right choice.

“You truly do not regret not fighting?”

“No.” Amun said simply, “Had we fought, we would have never found Demetri…or you. And you would not have brought Tia.”

Benjamin nodded and quickly ran up to Amun ad hugged him, “I need to see Ommi.”

Amun stood shocked for a second before following after him. He came up to the small clearing Mut had found and saw his mate and Benjamin hugging. Mut’s eyes coated with venomous tears threatening to fall. Amun knew she would hold together if only for the younger ones to not worry.

“You have nothing to apologize for Benjamin. You should be proud of your heart. I know we are.” Amun heard her whisper as Benjamin pulled away from her. She gently stroked his cheek and then standing up and wrapping Amuns hand in hers, “Come. I’m sure we have much to discuss. Kebi, could you take them to the campsite with the Cullens?”

“And keep away from the spawn, yes. Come kids. They’ll be back in a few minutes.”

The second they were out of eyesight, Amun pulled Mut into him. Exhausted, she all but melted into his touch. After centuries together there were no words needed for how they were both feeling.

“Oh Amun. What are we to do…”

“Hope my love. Hope no fight comes about.”

“I don’t know if Benjamin will stay behind now.”

“I know. I think Tia will be what decides it for him. If she doesn’t fight I think he will restrain as well.”

“I disagree. I think he will hesitate if she stands with him. He worries about us too much. He wouldn’t risk us going through it again.”

“You are likely right, as always.”

Mut chuckled, “If he doesn’t fight, and we get the chance. We owe it to Demetri to have a conversation. Let him know how we truly felt that day.”

“He doesn’t deserve to have reopened wounds Mut.”

“I was there, Amun. The wounds never closed.”

He sighed, knowing well enough that she was right. And it was useless disagreeing with her, “Very well. We shall wait for them.” Muts eyes gleamed with the faintest glimmer of hope, she offered a sad smile and the pair walked deep into the woods towards their old acquaintances.

At the campsite stories of war were thrown around. Benjamin noticed that besides the Irish coven, none of them spoke about loss. The Romanians were vengeful, but more so spoke about power not grief. Benjamin caught himself wondering if that was an effect of dealing with their grief. He couldn’t imagine neither of his “parents” without the other. They seemed to be made for each other. Never straying far from each other for very long.  He wondered what it was like losing everyone you had ever been close to. He thought about Amun, Mut, his sister. Could he live with himself if they died just to stand with him? He looked at Siobhan and Liam, both with one hand on Maggie. Somewhere inside he knew they would leave if they truly felt she was in danger of not making it out, he also knew she would burn the world down if her family was ripped from her. They had already had one of the nomads leave. Would their presence make that big of a difference? Would their statement gain unwanted attention from the volturi?

This was wrong. He knew if he was human any contents in his stomach would be expelled immediately, part of him still worried about it. He should have said nothing. Stayed in the housing that Mut had turned into a home for him and Tia.

“Benjamin?” Mut had come from behind and put her hands on his shoulders, her comfort drowning him in a wave of guilt. He tried to hide his anxiety and offered her what little of a grin he could offer, patting one of her hands to try and persuade her he was fine. He was not fine.

“I cant wait to go back home.” Is all he could muster out. It was the truth. There was no guarantee they would all make it back there if this came down to what the younger Cullen wanted. You felt his gaze from the tent, hearing all of your doubts. He had used your gift to rally everyone into fighting if it came down to it. What happens now? You could hear him whispering to his mate, head snapping to your direction. You avoided looking in their direction. Counting down the seconds until morning came. Finding anyone to talk to just to avoid the slightest possibility of a confrontation before realizing the safest place was with his coven.

The sun began to slowly creep and rise in the horizon. Everyone progressively speaking less and less. Anxiety rising in everyone about the upcoming and increasingly possible battle. The large group silent as they walked towards an empty field. Then somehow the silence seemed to get stronger…louder…deafening. Though they were all coming together for a singular purpose it was clear to everyone that every coven stood separated, apart from one another. It was clear they would protect their own first. Amun and Mut shared a glance, anxiously and nervously waiting to see some familiar face. Amun looked far into the forest behind them. He wondered if the wolves the Cullens had recruited would be smart enough to protect their own or if they truly were ready to die to protect the people on their land. Amun knew first hand how people would die both from arrogance, and need from control. He also knew people would run if they felt they had something more important to protect. The Romanians were convinced they were still being hunted even centuries later, always running. Now, he felt, it was them running. Again. Not able to face the threat of the volturi. The circumstances different, yet so eerily similar. Trying to keep what little semblance of family he had. Hoping he could keep everyone alive this time, praying the once so eager Benjamin would decide to hesitate.

Benjamin had stayed largely silent. Still unsure of how everything would happen. Amun and Mut had placed themselves in front of Benjamin and Tia. Kebi stood besides her sister, ready to do whatever it took to protect Mut. Mut ready to do anything to protect the younger ones and her mate. Tia desperately hoping they could go home, knowing she would stand with her brother. A carousel of worry. A sea of black and red surrounded them. They were hopelessly outnumbered. Benjamin remembered Kebis stories. How the volturi had fought the children of the moon, monsters who appeared similar to the allies the Cullens recruited but no rational fiber in them. They had plenty of gifted members among them, but that was what the volturi was known for. It wouldn’t be enough. Benjamin watched as they came into view. Mut clutching Amun’s arm as her eyes landed on Demetri. Amun stiffening when their eyes met. Centuries of unresolved conflict and hurt in both of their eyes. Benjamin scanned the crowd. It was clear who the other affected party was. Their resident tracker.

There was a hurt in the blond vampire that echoed the rejection of Benjamins own. He remembered that hurt of feeling unwanted, from what Amun had told him it had been a misunderstanding. The years it had taken to come to terms that this time truly was different. And it was suddenly very clear why Amun would not be able to fight. Why Mut couldn’t imagine hurting him again. Benjamin had felt an immediate and unconditional feeling love and understanding, it was a feeling he had never been offered before. It had been, at on epoint, too good to be true. And yet. the same people who offered him refuge, had somehow turned away another. Misunderstanding or not. His “parents” had failed the volturi member. They wouldn’t do so again, Benjamin also knew they wouldn’t hold him back if he wanted to fight. Aro had begun speaking, but a new fear had taken over him. Would they forgive him? If this group the Cullens had rallied together somehow won, would they look at him the same? If he had a hand in their other child’s undoing? If they did look past it, would Benjamin be able to live with it?

Amun interrupted his train of thought, ensuring Aro would have no hard feelings for simply stating that as witnesses they were sure that Bella and Edwards daughter was not an immortal child. Aro assured them that all was well, Benjamin snuck a glance to Maggie who tugged at Siobhan’s arm, wondering why he was speaking the truth. Amun and Mut turned back to look at back Benjamin and Tia, a silent but pleading expression. Tia tugged his arm begging for him to listen, just this once. Benjamin nodded to her, and then to Amun. A low growl left the youngest Cullen boys’ lips, while Bella began to look panicked. The Irish coven looked between themselves wondering if they should follow. Benjamin snuck a final look at Demetri, the once hurt expression was now replaced by a stony glare. His family didn’t stick around to see if anyone followed their example. That was no longer their concern.

Where was that concern all those years ago? A jealous rage brewed deep within Demetri. Was his gift not good enough to fight for? He was in the bloody elite guard, for Gods sake. He had never itched for a fight more. Something to take his mind off of the deep seated ache he thought he had long ago forgotten.

The Egyptian coven ran until they reached Montana. Mut stopped first. Halted as if she had forgotten something. The rest of them stopped at different intervals to go back. Amun barely had enough time to grab onto her shoulders before Mut collapsed into his arms. A broken, guttural sob escaping her. The thought of losing someone she cares about deeply breaking something buried and long hidden inside of her. In a way, this eased Benjamins conscious. The possibility of making it worse, well…it would have killed him.

They sat there for two hours. Amun sitting next to his mate. Tia resting her head against her shoulder. Mut only spoke to ask Kebi how she felt the further away from the child. Kebi laughed, “I am not the one you should be concerned over.”

Kebi realized her words the second they left her mouth. She had meant that Mut was clearly the one that needed the support, but there was no avoiding what else she meant. Amun hissed at her, already struggling to hold himself together for his mates sake, Kebi’s remark was not helping. Mut’s head dropped, she allowed herself to shrink back into Amuns embrace. They would have stayed frozen for hours longer but Kebi’s head shot up.

“Someone is coming.”

Everyone was on their feet in seconds. The familiar scent hit Amun first. “Wait.”

He tugged on Muts hand. She clutched his arm again. Benjamin saw the tracker and what he thought was the most intimidating vampire hed ever seen. The taller one nudged forward the tracker. And leaned against the tree. Demetri glared but took another step forward. “Its been a whi—”

Mut rushed forward, cutting him off with an embrace before he could say anything. “Thank the gods you’re safe.”

Demetri’s head buried into her shoulder. It had been too long since he had felt an embrace of any kind like this. Any physical connection he had encountered over the years had been just that, purely physical. There was warmth that radiated from his ‘mother.’ Demetri tried to hold on to the hurt and jealousy he felt at the mates pair clearly  fighting to keep the younger vampires with them. Why wasn’t he offered that courtesy? As prideful as he tried to be, he caved at their welcome. He was almost ashamed, still desperately clinging to whatever scraps of affection he was offered. No. Even he could tell this was different.

Amun came up next wrapping Demetri in an embrace that shocked almost everyone but Mut and Benjamin. He rested his forehead against Demetris, a warm hand on the back of his neck. Years of unspoken apologies coming out in a single sentence. He stepped back and put both hands on his shoulders looking into his eyes and hoping he could see how much he meant every word, “I am truly sorry for not fighting harder for you and your place in our coven.”

Demetri cleared his throat. He struggled to find any words. Mut joined her mate and the three stood like that until Mut started laughing, “Gods look at us. We’re such a mess. And we’re being rude. Demetri, we have some people we’d like you to meet. You too Felix. I’m glad we are meeting under better circumstances.” Mut dashed over to hug him as well, “Thank you. For keeping him safe. And out of trouble I’m sure.”

Felix chuckled and bowed slightly to one half of the leaders in the coven. “We cant stay for long. We have a new… mission that requires our attention?”

Muts face fell, “What happened?”

“The future teller came back. Brought another being like the child. Mature. But the same. After you left…the irish and nomads got nervous and smartly, I may add, said their statements and left. Aro offered the child and its mother sanctuary.” Demetri explained.

“Did they accept?” Amun asked

“Aro wants to check on other hybrids first. They would have had week but unfortunately, Bellas shield is a bit too strong and she could effectively hide her whole family as long as she would want. So, they are discussing who is going with to South America. We’ll be leaving tonight. But as he’s talking to Carlisle he thought it was best if I checked on my old coven.”

“So soon?” Muts voice was laced with a clear disappointment

Felix chimed in, sensing his friends own guilt rising. “It shouldn’t be too long. Caius and Marcus have concurred that Demetri would do good with some time away when we return.”

“It does appear I would need a place to stay a while, so if it isn’t too much trouble—”

“Of course. Your home will always be there.”

Mut and Amun hugged him once more before it was time for him to return. Kebi came forward as well,

“It will be nice to have you back again.”

Mut grabbed Tia's hand and urged Benjamin forward as well, "Well, before you go I would like you to meet your...siblings. This is Tia and Benjamin."

Demetri smiled at his old covenmate, and the two newer additions, nodding before he left once again “I look forward to getting to know you both. It seems we will have much to discuss upon my return.”

Tia and Benjamin smiled at him. Feeling happy to see a weight visibly seem lifted off of their parents’ shoulders. Excited to have more family to learn about. Curious to know what kind of life he had lived in the volturi. As the two caped vampires disappeared from view, Mut exhaled a sigh of relief and looked towards who nodded with watery eyes.

“Lets go home."

➽───────────────❥

"You've gotten much better Benjamin. It shouldnt take long for you to not have the need for your hands."

"I hope because without them it feels draining."

"Well, Demetri is coming within the week. No practice until he leaves."

"Do you worry he will tell Aro?"

"No, I worry he will say nothing. Lets not put him in an even more difficult position. He doesn't need to feel as if he has to take sides."

"Very well, father." Amun smiled at the young vampire. The two walked into the main living area. Amun seeing his wife and her sister both sitting across from eachother, Amun slid in next to his mate. She leaned against him, her scent held him ransom as he placed a kiss against her temple.

"Wheres Tia?"

"Leave her be Benjamin, she says shes working on a project. Its supposed to be a surprise. No gifts anywhere near her room."

"I would never." Mut put her book down and stared down the young boy, "alright, I wont do anything. Swear."

Life was peacefully mundane until Demetris arrival, he brought along a curious Felix and the family was delighted to see them both. Benjamin and Felix seemed to distract themselves with play fighting and videogames while Demetri tried to not feel as if were forcing himself in a place that was welcoming him in.

"Demetri would you like to talk about it?" Tia finally asked
