Hi guys, this is my first fanfic. I've never really written anything before besides for school reports so I cant guarantee that it will be any good.

This chapter is more of an introduction then anything. After this the chapters will be much larger. I hope you will enjoy reading it!

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight.

[While on a hunt the Cullen's run into something they never believed to exist. Dark times are headed towards our favorite vampires and they are going to need all the help they can get. The only question is, will these hostile creatures be willing to help?]

I figure I should at least mention who is mated with who in this story so that there is no confusion.

Bella/Alice

Edward/Jasper

Esme/Carlisle

Rosalie/Esme


Chapter 1

The Hunt

The ache in my throat grew as my family and I continued deeper into the forest. Usually we would have found at least a heard of deer by now but for some reason there was nothing. No birds, no bunnies and certainly nothing that could satisfy our thirst.

"What the hell?" Emmett snarled as he furiously sniffed the air for any signs of prey.

"Carlisle, what's going on?" Esme asked her mate worriedly. Although animals would usually flee at our presence, we usually had at least a little luck. It was like the animals had cleared out hours ago. There wasn't even the faint scent in the air of one.

"I don't know." He answered honestly. "I would say that maybe one of the wolves strayed onto our land but we would be able to smell them."

"This isn't natural." Edward sighed as he ran his hand through his unruly bronze hair. "Nothing has a scent right now. I cant smell the grass or the trees. I cant smell anything." The rest of the family began to sniff around before becoming slightly panicked.

"Carlisle?" Esme asked again. "What could do something like this?" I wrapped my arms around myself as I felt a strange chill run through me. Something was very wrong. A shrill cry sounded off in the distance causing the entire family to freeze. Another cry followed.

"What the hell was that?" Rosalie asked as she moved closer to her husband. He cautiously wrapped his arms protectively around her. Jasper stood firmly in front of Edward as if to protect him from any harm as Esme stepped in closer to Carlisle. That left me to fend for myself if anything happened.

"What's going on?" I asked, knowing that no one would be able to answer me. It was a question that was playing on everyone's mind.

"Why cant I hear anyone?" Edward suddenly asked, panic clouding over his face. Jasper gasped and everyone looked at him. Not much startled the empath. He had been through so much in his time that he was hard to surprise. I didn't have to be an empath to know that he was actually scared though. That thought alone made me nervous.

"I cant feel anyone's emotions." He choked out. He was beginning to shift uncertainly on his feet. I closed my eyes to get a vision but for once nothing came to me.

"Everyone's future has gone blank." My voice wavered as I spoke. Everyone knew that when someones future went blank that usually meant that they would be facing a life or death situation. My instincts were telling me to high tail it out of there. To run away and never return. What could possibly be causing this though? We are vampires. The ultimate predator. Even with the wolves we never get the urge to run. Whatever was out there was doing something to our senses though. Everything we had ever known seemed to suddenly change.

"We need to get back to the house. We have to figure out some course of action." Carlisle demanded. We turned around so that we could head home but a loud thundering sound made us stop dead in our tracks. The thundering came closer and closer. I could tell by the looks on everyone faces that the panic I was feeling was mutual. Without hesitation we took off towards the house, praying that whatever it was that was still in the forest wouldn't be sticking around for long.


Again, sorry for the short chapter. I'll have the next one up either tonight or tomorrow. From now on my chapters will be much longer. Scouts honor. (Even though I've never been a scout.)
