Chapter 1

Arba, the fallen, and his son Anak and his sons Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai, arrived in Forks in the fall, after a day of darkness, the first full solar eclispes in Forks for many years. Arba was tall, taller than all men, and his neck was long and erect. He had many wealth and built a mansion on the outside of town. Anak his son was an attorney. He set up a private practice in town. His sons, Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai were enrolled at Forks High School and that's where Bella met them. She was standing with Jasper and Alice and she noticed two things right away. They were beautiful. Tall of course, but they had lean muscles unlike anything that she had ever seen before. They had dark smooth tan skin and they wore tailored clothes. The second thing she noticed about them was that they were powerful. She could sense their power, as could everyone in the hall. People parted as they walked. Their body language, their pheromones screamed power. It was like looking into the eyes of a lion right before they attacked.

Jasper and Alice must have sensed their power as well, because low rumbles vibrated the air around Bella. She turned and looked at them. Jasper was stiff and he stood tall and widened his stance. Like a predator would to fend off an attack, he stood his ground. Alice was less animalistic but her glare and growl was more threatening then Bella had ever seen her. "What's wrong with you two?" Bella hissed. She grabbed Alice's shoulder and shook it slightly. "Snap out of it."

"We have to find Edward." Alice turned her head slightly but didn't take her eyes off the threat that came closer. The three males seemed to descend upon them. It was as if they knew what Alice and Jasper were and they were chasing out any competition. Alice grabbed Bella's wrist and started down the hall away from the new students. Jasper followed from behind never turning around but following Alice and Bella on scent alone.

It didn't seem like Alice found her brothers, because Edward and Emmett came around the corner halfway down the hall. They must have felt the distress in their family members because they didn't ask questions they flanked the group, Edward to Bella's left and Emmett stood at Alice's right.

"What are they?" Edward asked the three students were far behind them and the Cullens were almost out of the door.

"Can you not hear their thoughts?" Alice asked without turning her head, the words barely making it to Bella's ears. She turned to look at Edward surprised.

"I can hear something, but it's like listening to the thoughts of animals." Edward's voice was quiet as well.

Bella didn't hear it when Jasper spoke but he assumed that he did because Edward glanced back at his brother and offered him a smile. "I don't. Animals don't think in a spoken or written language. It is the same as a baby's thoughts. You would have a better chance of understanding them than I could."

"Those things or animals?" Emmett's laugh was a show of nerves not humor. It surprised Bella even more to hear something like that coming from Emmett. Once they were out of the school out the back where the teachers parked, Alice stopped. Bella ran right into her but Alice didn't budget up. Rosalie was in the driver's seat of Edward's Expedition. She stared at them through the window for only a moment. Then she was out of the driver's seat taking her normal spot in the back with her husband. Edward took his spot in the driver's seat with Bella ushered into the passenger seat by Alice and Jasper.

"Wait. I want to know what's going on? Why are we leaving?" Bella held onto the door frame and refused to take her seat.

"Bella just get in the car." Edward's voice was strong. He was a master vampire and when he sounded like that there wasn't any arguing.

Bella still did but she followed the instruction. "Is it because of those new kids? They looked really nice."

Growls erupted throughout the vehicle. Edward hushed his siblings after a moment. "Those things were not children. I don't know what they were but my demon didn't want to stick around to find out. They're dangerous Bella and until we know what they are after, you have to stay away from them."

"That's not fair." Bella glared at the renewed growls. She had stopped being afraid of vampires, especially the ones in the car, long ago. It irritated her more than anything else to hear the noise. "That's prejudice. You haven't even spoken to them."

"A buffalo doesn't stop to converse with a lion it knows better than that. We know better than to talk to things like that." It was Rosalie. She was harsh as always and Bella couldn't believe her, but Edward wasn't big on explanation.

"We're not animals!" Bella argued. How could she not argue with someone who had been so set on keeping her away from Edward and the rest of the family?

Rosalie opened her mouth to spit back a nasty comment but Edward hushed her with a single look. The rest of the car ride was quiet. Even Bella restrained her arguments. She could do nothing at the speeds that Edward was pushing the car and arguing was getting her no where. She was rebellious by nature and as they arrived at the Cullen's home she was determined to make her own judgment on the new students regardless of what anyone had to say.

Esme was surprised to see her children when they came into the house however, she didn't question their absence from school. She held up a finger and picked up the house phone. She dialed Carlisle's cell. When he answered she put him on speaker. Then she turned to the group. "What happened?"

Alice took charge of explaining what happened since she and Jasper had the closest contact with the strange creatures. "I've never seen anything like them. My senses were going through the roof. They were predators, but instead of going after the weak they came towards us." Bella shook her head. She disagreed. When she had seen them it wasn't like that. She obviously felt like they were powerful but she didn't feel threatened by them. What did she mean when she said by going after the weak?

"Alice can you describe them for me?" Carlisle asked. He sounded calm as always calculated but he picked up the tension in her voice and he was concerned. His clan had been around for many years not all of them had hit the hundred year mark but all of them were close to it. None of his childe could be considered fledglings. In fact, if the master knew about their continued residence under him he would call them all weak and stake them in turn. Of course, this family didn't tend to follow the rules of their clan. Carlisle had converted a long time ago when he joined the Volturi and they had broken from Volturi since then. He and his family lived how they chose to. So, for his childe to be stressed it had to be something to worry about.

Alice quickly described this looks, their scent, their aura anything she could that would be describe and helpful to Carlisle figure out what they were. He had to leave them with no answer, but that he would continue to think and for them to remain careful.

He set the phone down and closed his eyes in contemplation. The creatures didn't sound human. Humans were flawed, and these creatures sounded nothing like that. His answer however came when he stepped out of his office later that afternoon. He had no evening appointments and he decided that he better head home to speak with his family. He was on his way to his car when Arba and his son Anak's presences overtook him. He turned to the source of the tension. The two creatures stood on the other side of the street further down. They stared directly at him. He felt his chest rumble with a growl. He knew better to approach them but he stood his ground, until Anak started towards him. He was in his car with record speed and down the street before Anak could step off the sidewalk. He kept their image clear in his mind and when he arrived home. He went straight to his study.

Edward found him later, much later. He had never seen his sire like this. He normally had a calm nature about him. He voice never rose and he never fought when he could negotiate. He was obviously distressed and Edward picked up on it. "You saw them?"

"I believe these two were different." Carlisle didn't look up from his study.

"Do you know what they are?" Edward leaned against the desk in front of Carlisle. He glanced over at his book but didn't try to read it, Carlisle hated that.

Carlisle shook his head. "I will keep looking, but until we find out I don't want you or your siblings going to school."

That was even more surprising. Carlisle never allowed them to miss school even though they had sat through the same lectures and graduated from so many schools. He said that it would be too suspicious if they missed too many classes. Carlisle's worry for his family's well being out weighed his worry for their secrets. "What will happen then?"

Carlisle set his book aside and looked up at his eldest. He reached out for him. Touching Edward, it was a mild caress but it wasn't common, not since Rosalie became part of the family. He had a haunted look in his eyes like he was worried that Edward might disappear on him. "I saw the two on the street. I held my ground but when they stalked me I fled. Not like prey, but like a predator who isn't sure he can make it out without irrevocably damaging himself. I didn't want to risk injury or death. It's a strange feeling. I have been alive for hundreds of years. There aren't many things that I am afraid of. Don't let your siblings know this, but if there is not a reasonable way to get rid of those things we will leave this place."

"Of course." Edward wouldn't protest not when Carlisle was being so straight with him. He didn't know if he could leave this place but he had faith that they would be able to get rid of these monsters. "I will make sure our paths don't cross theirs."

There was no verbal answer. Carlisle was on his feet and had his childe in a hug, cradling his head to his chest. Edward gulped and wrapped his arms around Carlisle's back closing his eyes he listened to his sire's purrs.

The noise that filled Edward's head when he approached the treaty line was over powering. He was used to the wolves by now, but they were thinking in fragments, pictures and they were panicked. He clutched his head and stumbled forward. He couldn't rest well without seeing Jacob. He was a few feet from the border when he saw the thick dark fur, even in the dark. What he witness was shocking however. Jacob lifted his hind leg and urinated on the bush next to him. He sniffed it and then hurried to the nearest tree sniffed that and repeated the leg lift, urinating, sniff again.

"Are you marking?" Edward asked wrinkling his nose the scent of dog was terrible, even if it was Jacob, it was still urine. The wolf's head rose. He raced over to Edward rubbing against his legs and shoes. Edward knelt down worried about the other male. "Jake?" Jacob whimpered rubbing himself against the rest of Edward. When he was done he sat in front of Edward. The vampire stared for a moment but then reached out and touched his shoulder.

Jacob's thought projected onto him. He had learned long ago that projecting his thoughts helped the both of them. It kept Jacob's subconscious thoughts mute, it blocked out the rest of the pack from hearing his side of their conversation and it also filled Edward's head pushing out all other thoughts. Jacob was possessive and his thoughts were no different. He had to at least be able to see Edward for it to work otherwise Jacob didn't know what direction to project his thoughts, but touching was the best.

We're reestablishing the border. Enforcing it. There are creatures that set up home near it. The pack is on edge.

"I didn't know you marked the border at all." Edward frowned. He had never seen any of the wolves do it but then again he didn't have a personal relationship with any of the other ones.

That's my job. I have been neglecting it since Sam stepped down. There hasn't been a threat since then.

"Those things. Carlisle doesn't like them." Edward wasn't usually that open about his family but now that his sire and his lover were acting strange he felt out of sorts. "They won't cross your borders if you pee on it?"

They better not cross my borders or I will rip them apart.

Edward didn't believe Jacob. He had only been a wolf for a year and Carlisle who had been who he was for three hundred was unsure of his ability to defend himself. Jacob moved walking back to his border.

Come on.

It was an order. Edward stood and followed at Jacob's heals. He wasn't always submissive but arguing was pointless. He stepped over the border and felt nothing strange. The other wolves weren't close and they couldn't smell him. Later they might but Jacob's fresh mark may overpower that. They stayed on the edge of the border and moved silently for forty minutes at a fast pace. Jacob stopped at the border it was near Forks but it was practically on the other side of the reservation than the Cullens' home. On the other side of the border was a huge estate. It had a large gate and walls blocked the view of the home, but the wind was right and the smell that hit Edward was the same one as before. He shivered even the smell was unnerving. He was upwind and Jacob marked the area around them thoroughly without thought. His scent would overpower Edward's but it still made him nervous.

"What are they?" He barely spoke. Jacob snarled. He turned tail and didn't project onto Edward until they were nearly back where they started.

I only wanted you to know where not to go. Understand?

Jacob slipped past the border marking the spot at the very edge of his border. "Jacob."

Understand!

Jacob's growl scared the birds out of the nearby trees. He stood in front of Edward and didn't budge until Edward nodded. "Yes." The wolf relax, his tail even wagged slightly but stilled as they continued to walk. "They are threatening you by building so close to your land?"

It's a warning, not a threat. I don't think they will cross over. Billy has agreed that none of us will go into town while they remain.

"We are not going into town either. Except Carlisle. He can't see canceling on patients." Edward whispered softly. He looked up. They were in front of his house. He frowned. Jacob had walked him home. He was that worried about his safety? Edward turned to his lover but the question on his lips changed. "Did you just urinate on my house?"

I marked your house. You're mine. You'll be safe.

"I was going to go to Bella's." It was the only reply that Edward could come up with. He didn't know how to react to Jacob's stress.

NO! Bella is human. She's not a threat to them and she is not in danger.

"You don't know what they are. How do you know that?" Edward's mind whirled. He was so confused it wasn't a state that he liked to be in.

It's my job to protect humans. Edward please.

Edward kept his gaze on the gravel near his feet. He hadn't even thought about Bella since she left earlier that afternoon. He hadn't seen the creatures yet but Alice and Jasper said that they didn't think she was in danger, and Carlisle said that the people around him were not in danger either. He just didn't like feeling helpless, but he couldn't shake it. He was afraid. "Maybe you should mark me."

I did.

"No, like a bite or mating or..."

I'm going to mark the rest of the property, the boundary. Then I'm going home.

It was frustrating that Jacob ignored the request. He refused to claim Edward as his mate. He said that he loved Edward because he chose to love him, not because of a fate or a ritual. He wanted to know that their feelings were theirs alone. It was a constant battle between them but so far Edward gave in. It was nice to know that Jacob loved him enough to go against his true nature. It was against their nature though. Edward's instincts demanded that he claim his mate and that his mate claim him. Edward was used to denying his true nature so it wasn't impossible to deny this but it was still uncomfortable, painful at times. Edward couldn't argue tonight however. He knew that Jacob was too stressed to tolerate it. He leaned forward. He wrapped his hand around Jacob's muzzle. He pressed a firm kiss on his lips. In seconds his lips met human lips and his hand cupped Jacob's cheek, his fingers over his nose and his thumb curled under his chin. He moved it behind Jacob's head and continued to kiss him.

"Be careful." Jacob's concern was in his very soul and Edward didn't know what he could do about it. "If you need shelter break the treaty." Edward nodded. He wrapped his arms around Jacob's waste. The younger man shook him off almost immediately. "You're not safe yet." Jacob disappeared in a flurry of black against the night. When Esme opened the window the next morning Rosalie complained loudly about the smell but Carlisle hushed her knowing without a doubt that the scent was meant to keep his family safe and he couldn't be anything but grateful for that.
