Summary: Something has swept through the vampire world. It has been changing vampires into humans, and the Cullens have no knowledge of it. Only the Volturi know of this force, and they cannot stop it. Some of the Cullens are turned human, and others aren't; what do they do when they have to relearn how to be human? How do they react? What about the other Cullens? Post-BD.
Sorry about the choppy summary in the summary section-I was running out of characters so I had to improvise lol.
Okay, I know I have my other story that I update about once a month, but I had a dream and I had to type it. The main plot is similar (actually I only remember the part with this thing turning some into humans and then those few trying to remember how to be human again.) but I also had to fill in the blank spots. I honestly don't care if you don't like it-I'm typing it up for myself and putting it out there in case you do happen to like it. So, on with the story.
BTW, Today's my birthday, so happy birthday to me :)---you could make me happy by reviewing, please and thanks :)

It was a typical day when we found out that our world would be turned upside-down. We never would have guessed it was possible, but then again I never would have thought vampires and werewolves - oh, I mean 'shape-shifters' were real either. Some of us were glad, some of us weren't, and then there were those of us who were devastated. Some of us were just plain confused.
In the morning of the infamous day, Nessie was out with Jake hunting. She still preferred hunting our way, but was gradually adapting to human food. Though she turned only five years old just half a year ago, she looked so grown up, like a young adult. Her development and inhuman growth had left her looking a lot more like me than like a normal child of her age. She had grown quite infatuated by Jacob within the past few months; I knew it would have happened soon but I still wasn't ready to give her up yet. Edward was having a hard time too; each time he saw Jake and Nessie cuddle or kiss, he practically burned a hole in Jake's skull from the glaring. I wonder what he would do if they ever had relations...Oh no, what if they already are?! I've thought about this before several times, and went through the dynamics of convincing myself they weren't. I told myself. It would be difficult to do that since Edward reads minds, but Jake was good at hiding things, and Nessie learned that skill from him. Plus that, and Alice sees the future; she would tell us. Wait a minute - no she wouldn't. Oh, crap. She would find it perfectly fine for them to do it. Well, it would still be hard for them. There are still eight other people in the house, and they would have to sneak out to get some privacy. My mind felt a little more cool and calm knowing that the chances of them doing that wasn't going to go unnoticed by us.
Anyway, they were out hunting, and Edward and I were in bed, passing the time until school started in a few hours. We had been in Yukon Canada for the past few years. It was in the Arctic Circle, so we didn't see much of light, and we skip school when we have to, of course. Like Forks was under constant cover of clouds, Yukon was always seen blanketed by a layer of snow; I found it easy to deal with, but if I were still human, it would be nothing to how I would feel living here, considering I hated Forks for the cold. We were attending Porter Creek Secondary School, and it was nice, but I missed home a lot. Charlie had stayed in Forks, while the Cullens and Jake moved here. Renee still didn't know anything; as far as she knew, I disappeared. I have thought about her a lot, and I do miss her, but I accepted that she can't know. I still care about my own mom, so I check up on them; mostly we go incognito at Phil's games. I sit beside her with foam fingers and all so I can talk to her. I feel at peace knowing that my mom is okay, but the pain gets unbearable, knowing that one day she'll be gone, and I'll be alive….forever.
Itis quarter after eight, and time for us to get up. Nessie and Jake just got back. They are eating cereal downstairs-I have no idea why. I guess hunting just wasn't enough for them.
Edward and I roused out of bed, dressed, got ready for the day and were downstairs by 8:17. We were all ready, and left the house at 8:25-Nessie and Jake were putzing (A/N: That may be a Pennsylvania Dutch word-I'm not sure. It means dawdling, being slow and pokey. Its pronounced putts-zing) around. We got to school in time, though.
By the time we got back home, Edward, Nessie, Jake and I did our homework. It was my second time through high school, and Nessie's first, Jacob's second as well. Alice and Rosalie were on the computer playing with some fashion program. Emmett and Jasper were playing some Wii game.
"NO!" Emmett roared, throwing the Wii remote on the floor, successfully breaking it.
"Emmett! That's the sixth one you broke! You've gotta stop," Rosalie scolded.
"At least he didn't break the TV or the Wii system this time," Alice added, laughing.
"What's that?" Edward asked in a curious voice. We all quieted and listened. The environment rustled with the breezy sounds, but one of them stood out in particular – a low whistling…a scream-ish din, the kind of whistling that runs through the wind when it passes trees…only this was a little deeper and more solid.
Soon enough, this strange noise came. The morbid body of a thirteen year old boy appeared at the door, looking at us. He had a very slight figure, like he hadn't eaten in days and a face that looked as if he were burned by a fire. He had a heartbeat, but it was really slow - it beat twice a minute, that's it. Impossible, I thought. I looked at Edward, who seemed frustrated by something, his face betraying many emotions simultaneously.
He walked toward us, with a sinister smirk on his face. He was arrogant; I could tell because he looked and walked like he thought he was invincible, thatnothing could happen to him. His swagger was arrogant, and I was confused as to how he could just barge in and act like nothing was wrong about intruding into a family's house.
"This is an exquisite house. I'm Byron…Byron Scourge….. I heard you miles away, and thought I would drop by to say hello. I haven't met any vampire clan so large. How do you manage to stay in the same place?" he asked, leaving us befuddled. How did he hear us miles away?
Carlisle was out with Esme at a fancy restaurant, so Edward took his place as the leader.
"Hello, I'm Edward Cullen. This is my family," he said. He pointed to each of us. "My wife, Bella; daughter, Renesmee; sisters, Alice and Rosalie; brothers Emmett and Jasper; and my parents Carlisle and Esme are out at the moment," he said.
"Hey, Edward, we're going out to the game shop. We'll be back," Emmett said. He looked a little shifty at the newcomer taking Jasper by the arm, steering him out of the door.
"Oh, can I come too?" Jake asked. Nessie glared at him. When he gave her a look of reproach and "please?" she turned away, folding her arms across her chest and pouted.
"Fine, then I'll go shopping. Rose, Alice, you want to come?" Nessie said.
"Um, no. I'll stay here with Bella and Edward," Alice said, quite unusually, as she seemed to be absorbed in concentration, staring at the cocky and rude newcomer, and Rosalie agreed.
"What!? You always want to go shopping! Fine, then I'll ride with them and they can just drop me off!" she huffed.
So they left, with Renesmee tagging along. Alice and Rose were staying, which no one knew why. Alice shuffled over to me, whispering "I can't see him."
"Neither can I," Edward said.
"What are you? I can't hear you, she can't see you...Bella, can you shield him?" Edward murmered.
"I can, but it's different..." Instead of having a bright, brilliant light around him, he had a darker light - a dark gray, almost black color.
Edward turned to face him, his brow furrowed.
"You know about vampires."
Byron nodded, smirking.
"You have a heartbeat."
Byron's irritable smirk grew larger.
"What are you?" Rosalie broke Edward's thinking. "Are you half human, half vampire or something?"
Byron raised an eyebrow, as if the comment insulted him.
"Human?" he spat. "Humans are a vampire's pet. They make friends with vampires."
He smiled again, as if we were missing something. Something about him just wasn't right….his swiftness, the way he came here like he owned the place, the way his eyes seemed to twinkle with something , a small dawning started to occur. He was denying his human nature because they were friendly with vampires. This meant he wasn't. He could see the thoughts being betrayed by my eyes and smirked even wider now, showing his glistening teeth.
"I haven't come to make friends. No..." Byron said, drifting off.
Edward threw a glance at me, confused.
"I have come to kill you."
