Oh yes, Edward is like a smoker who says I can stop anytime... this just a characters it doesn't mean anything I can quit in a flash if I needed too.

You could do an outline of an evil speech, you know from someone's point of view. If it is Edward for an example he would be looking for a way out during the speech and taking in the situation with his mind filtering in the important bits, which can a phrase here and another there. like.

"Dismember you with a spoon..." two vampires near back door, Anita, Richard and Jean-Claude held apart by six vampires each while pretending to be polite.
"...watch while I slowly peel away your wife's flesh..."
Knows about my family. Becca at home and Peter at soccer practice.
"I will have them here very soon"
and maybe Jean-Claude is trying to fast talk everyone's way out with possibly sacrificing only Edward (who he doesn't mind dead anyway)

Ohhhh I like that last one! Pick that!! I would love the idea that Methos was getting tired of the horsemen's gig and along comes a vampire to change his mistress and voilá! A whole new and challenging species to slaughter and terrify! and he now has a long lived apprentice to teach the art that is torturing and killing, taking someone apart by use of his words and acts.

And so he avoids boredom for a few centuries and then unleashes her somewhere on some poor country or vampire country, and killing weres and other difficult to kill things. Tells her to see if she can get along on her own and then vanishes for a long time.

I think that might even be after Cassandra, he has gotten used to having a witch serving him. Kronos realizes he is growing bored and gifts him with a fair captive to play with and to be only his to keep which would be Belle, who according to wikipedia is around 2,000 years old.

And let's face he and Kronos lasted a long time as a team, so maybe he knew that Methos liked change, and thought 'hey he loved power too, the world is different and everything is different maybe he would like to ride again with the new challenges of the modern age to overcome. Let's gather everyone!!!!

Methos loves change and maybe he would cycle back to what he was or maybe not, so even if he didn't promise forever he might have promised her 'someday'. And now that she is very powerful on her own right she wants that and he says "not yet"

Also I wonder if/how she knew he was alive if she couldn't track him, and if the vampires remember the ways of the bloody horsemen who killed many many of the old ones. At the first book there is a vampire guy who is millions of years old, and then the next eldest seems to be a few very much younger... though we know there is someone called Morte D'Amour and also someone who has never been seen named The Traveler and who didn't interfere when Oliver wanted to kill JC because Council members don't fight council members...
