(A/N: Ok so just a little thing I decided to do. Don't know if I'm going to continue it or not. So I hope you like it. Enjoy loves~)

Toris was staring blankly out the window of the Victorian mansion he shared with his 'friends'. The library was quiet and supplied the Lithuanian teen with a great view of the woods and the other, now abandoned mansion only a little ways down the clearing from where he sat. The rumble of a truck could be heard as he watched with mild curiosity as a moving van pulled up to the other house. Toris watched as people filed out of different cars that pulled up behind van. He stretched and focused on the first person he saw, a tall blond with slicked back hair and blue eyes, and let his 'gift take control.
Toris could play all kinds of mind games but his specialty is telepathy and telekinetic. So as he pulled upon his gift he sat there listening to the teens thoughts.
'I wonder if anyone lives next door? I should ask Vattie. Hopefully mien idiot brother won't make a mess again. And hopefully there's wolves in this forest or it's going to be hard to explain if there are people living next door. Hey who's there? Who's in my head?'
Toris pulled out quickly with a jerk back and found himself falling out of the window seat he was perched in moments ago. He blinked a few times before slowly standing and walking out to inform the others of what had happened.
Matthew was playing with Kuma, his pet polar bear in the backyard as he watched his friend Lovino work on his tomato garden. Lovino was gifted like him.
People born with supernatural abilities called affinities. Lovino could manipulate fire and earth. His twin, Feliciano could use air and water. Then there was there grandfather Roma who could see into your soul as well as see your past. Lukas and Emil could place curses and voodoo on people. Arthur was an all out wizard. Elizabeta could heal people (and hurt them when she felt like it with her frying pan. Who carries a frying pan around anyways?) Yao could make images come to life and his brother Kiku could understand and 'talk' to technology. Tino could scream and actually push people back with the sound (as well as having any glass around him shatter) and as for me I could talk to animals and, on a good day turn into one. Then there was Toris who played mind games.
A faint curse caught my attention as I looked over at the long ago abandoned house only to see people moving in.
"Hey Lovino-" I said in my whispered voice. After reserving a grunt I continued. "Who do you thinks moving in over there." I asked never taking my eyes off of the house.
Suddenly he was beside me looking over everything.
"I don't fucking know. Probably just some old bastard who likes living in the middle of fucking no where." He replied.
Matthew just laughed and turned to look at one of the only people who could see him all the time.
"Come on. I think the others will want to know about this." Lovino just nodded and they started to head inside unaware of the crimson and emerald eyes watching them.
Roma called an emergency meeting with the help of Toris and soon the living room was full of members of the household all looking nervously to the man they could call a father.
Roma however was calm as he smiled at everyone.
"Well there's no need to get so worked up over this. All we have to do is go into the forest for training and not show our gifts outside of the house or around open windows. Now how about we invite them over for dinner tonight to see if we can get a read on them or not si?" He said his normal kind smile being replaced with a devious smirk.
Over at the other house everyone was working on getting things settled. Francis, a blond Frenchman, Antonio, a Spanish teen and Gilbert a 'Prussian' teen worked on setting up a stereo in Gilbert's room.
"And then they just went inside." Antonio finished telling the events of when he and Gilbert saw the two next door .
"And it was just the two of them non? Petit Ludwig said someone was in his head listening to his thoughts when we first got here." Francis said handing Gilbert a screwdriver.
"That's everyone we saw right Gil?" Antonio asked.
"Ja it was just them."
A knock on the door caught everyone's attention and they headed up the stairs. When they got there two teens were standing in the living room. One was a girl with brown hair, green eyes and a green, knee length dress on. The other was a boy about 15 with silver hair, dark purple eyes, pale skin, jeans and a dark blue hoodie. Li, a boy from Hong Kong stood beside the girl and they seemed to be waiting for someone.
"Ah what a lovely girl! Of course you're kinda cute to." Francis said winking towards the boy whose face remained emotionless. "How about we get out of this dusty old place and you two can show me around oui? Then after I can show you around a special area. We'll have a good time non?" Francis said throwing an arm around both teens and making suggestive poses.
The girl who seemed to get angrier the more Francis talked reached behind her, and before anyone could react, she pulled out a frying pan and hit francis over the head with it.
"Liz be nice. This is their home after all." The boy said in a monotone voice.
"Hmph well if he wasn't such a creep maybe I wouldn't have hit him." The girl, Liz shot back in a thick Hungarian accent.
The boy, Gilbert noticed spoke with an Icelandic accent. Finally Aldrich, Gilbert's grandfather came down the stairs. Li had moved away from Liz after she hit Francis, who was lying on the floor dazed. Aldrich simply raised his eyebrows and continued.
"Who are you two and what can we do for you?" Aldrich asked.
"Well my names Elizabeta and this is Emil. Umm Roma, our…guardian wanted to know if your family wanted to come over for dinner." She said.
Aldrich looked over at the people werewolfs around the room.
"Go tell everyone we're heading next door for dinner. What time do you want us there?" He asked looking back at the two strange teens.
They looked at eachother for a moment before looking back and smiling, well Liz did.
"Any time you're ready is fine."
Aldrich nodded and led the two towards the door.
"Well be over there in twenty minutes." he said before waving good-bye as the two went back towards their property.
Gilbert appeared behind his grandfather and leaned against the wall.
"There was something about their scent. Something…..off." He said.
Aldrich nodded as he watched the two go inside.
"I wonder if it could be him."
