AN: I own nothing. All mistakes are mine.

Standing at the airport with my sister's and mother I looked out the large glass wall and smiled at the dark rainy sky.
I knew I had picked the best place Rose had fought with me saying we should move back to London that it had been long enough but I just had a feeling and it was my turn to chose.
Alice was quick to agree with me to the shock of everyone when asked why she was so eager to come to such a small town with the closest mall being at least an hour away. She just shrugged and smiled.
"Twenty minutes top's with one of us driving." She had said as she ran up the stairs to start packing.
Esme was just happy that the hospital was hiring and she would be able to do something other then stay home. She had been working on her control more and more and was all but immune to the smell of blood these days.
We were all proud of her she had been a nurse before she was turned but hadn't been able to even step into a hospital since.
Grabbing our bags and walking out to the rental car Rose had gotten us we drove to the house Esme had purchased.
Alice was the first to talk. " We need to do a few thing's to keep up pretenses. First we get to the house and set everything up. Keep the living room packed the neighbors from down the block are going to come visit for a few minutes about 20 minutes in."
"Then we need to hit the grocery store and do a little shopping." She added smiling. " I'm not going. I can't stand the smell of those places." Rose told us as she drove down the street were our new house was, there weren't many houses on this street and the woods were behind us it was perfect.
"NO! You have to go Rose people need to see us all around and our first introduction to the community has to be as a family." She half yelled.
"Alice why are you freaking out about this you have never cared before who went grocery shopping as long as one of us did it." I asked.
Esme agreed. " Yes Alice what's with you lately you been distant spending more time in that head of yours then with us."
Alice shrugged shaking her head. " I just want everyone to see us together to see our family as one. Is that too much to ask? " Her face was pure innocence's to anyone outside the car but we knew better, she was up to something.
We parked outside the house and smiled looking at the large house sitting at the back of the lot. It was a wooden Victorian style house painted in a light rose and white detailing.
Alice ran out of the car a little less human then we would have liked and opened the front door to see all our boxes sitting out in the living room. " Top room on the left is mine back room is the closet." She said shooting up the stairs.
Rose sighed and pulled the few bags' we did bring with us up to the house.
Esme had claimed the only bedroom that was down stairs and Rose had taken the one across from Alice's leaving me with the one that sat at the front of the house facing the street.
The only plus was that I had a huge balcony that was the length of the front of the house. Smiling standing outside looking over the street I could hear them all rushing around setting everything up. I sighed seeing an old Honda pull up to the front of the house. " Their here." I whispered quietly knowing they would all hear me.
Alice was the first to the door to great our new neighbor's a man his wife and a young blond haired boy stood at our doorstep.
"Well hello there. I am Amanda Newton and this is my husband Michael and our son Mike." The woman said. She was short curly blond hair. She smiled sweetly at us.
"Hello. My Name is Esme Platt and these are my daughter's Rosalie, Alice and Bella. Why don't you come in." She said stepping away from the door the three of them walked in looking around at all the boxes.
"You seem so young to have daughter's there age. No offense lady's." Michael said smiling sweetly at us.
"Esme adopted us when she aged out of the system." the lie was fluid when it came out of Rosalie lips and with her tone and attitude the humans dropped the subject with out a second thought.
"Oh well. I am so happy someone bought this house when I saw the workers fixing it up just couldn't wait to meet the new neighbors. If you girl's need anything we are just down the street."
"Thank you very much Mrs. Newton." Esme said sweetly.
"Oh! Mrs. Newton is my mother in law. Please call me Amanda."
Amanda said smiling walking to the door. "Come by anytime."
Her husband and son said quick goodbyes and they were on their way.
"Damn they look a lot like the Cullen's." Mike said to his parents when he thought they were far enough away.
We could hear his mother scolding him as they left.
Cullen's who were the Cullen's and what did Mike mean that we looked like them.
Turning to Alice staring at her. " Who are the Cullen's Alice?" I asked a bit upset.
Rosa was standing next to Bella with her hand's crossed looking just as pissed.
Esme sighed waiting for an answer. " I thought I smelled other Vampire's when we were driving up."
Alice sighed knowing she had to say something or the girl's would flip out more. " There are other Vampire's here four them." She said.
"Four Vampire's Alice! Are you crazy we could be killed this could be there territory." Rose was extremely protective of her us.
"There vegetarians like us Rosa were safe I have seen It. " she said tapping here head.
"I'm with Rosa on this one Alice you should have told us. We could be hurt or worse killed if we didn't know about the other's." I said sighing rubbing my hands down my arm.
Esme sighed. "What's done is done. We will meet with this other coven."
"Family." Alice quickly corrected. " The consider themselves a family." She said quietly.
"This family and we will work this out if we must leave we will leave but if Alice believe they mean us no harm we might just gain new friends."
An like that the decision was made we would meet the family and see how it goes.
Alice was all smiles as we finished the house quickly. "To the store we go!" She danced out to the car getting in the back.
