The Twin Vampires
Twins of Night and Day chapter one
A tribute to my bestest vampire buddie, Summer, you helped me a lot and you got me totally obsessed with Stephenie Meyer novels. Thanks yous tons, my Rozzy-inspiration, from your 'twin' Jeza, and your bestest sister, Bubbles!
Carlisle stared at the strange letter for a long moment. Two three-hundred-year-old vampire girls were looking to come by and visit briefly with the makeshift family of his. Two names were scrawled at the bottom of the elegantly handwritten letter; a neat, pretty signature, Roz, and a sort of chicken-scratch, almost eligible one, Jeza.
Roz and Jeza, I wonder what kind of vampires these two are. He wondered, his wife and adopted children seemed apprehensive, they all waited downstairs. Alice must have seen something about them.
He took the letter with him, leaving his study to discuss with them the matter of the girls.
Sure enough, Alice was pacing, looking up at Edward every so often. Emmett was fidgeting next to Roselie, who was fiddling with her hair. Jasper was on end with underlying tension, trying to calm everyone. Esme sat next to Bella who was looking cautiously around at everyone.
They all turned to watch Carlisle as he joined them. Carlisle looked to Edward first.
Alice had a vision? He asked silently, Edward nodded slightly. About two girls? Another nod. Do they pose a threat to us? No nod, Edward shrugged instead.
Esme went to him and took his hand; she looked at him with uncertainty in her eyes.
"Tell me of your vision, Alice," he said simply, sitting in one of the elegant wooden chairs, Esme leaning gently on the arm.
"I see four coming, two male and two female." Alice closed her eyes, trying to focus on the foggy vision. "The females, they're very close but they are completely opposite. One male leads them; he is very fond of the females, like he's their father. The other male is different. They're coming here. They want to talk, the females do at least. I don't know what about, and I don't know when." She shook her head regretfully. "I'm sorry, that's all I can see."
"Its okay, Alice," Carlisle smiled tightly at her as Jasper took her hand in a gesture of comfort. "They sent a letter. The females are named Rozlynn and Jezalynn. They're twins."
"What do they want?" Bella asked, being the youngest of the Cullens, she was still trying to understand everything about being a vampire. "They can't be all bad if they sent a letter first, right?"
"No, Bella, not always." Edward shook his head.
"Doesn't matter," Emmett shrugged with a familiar grin on his face. "If it's only four, then there's no problem. We can beat them easy!"
Roselie scowled at him, resisting the urge to smack him in the stomach.
"What did the letter say, Carlisle?" Jasper questioned.
"See for yourself," Carlisle tossed the paper lightly onto the table. They're quite strange, those two."
No one moved for a while, yet everyone started at the letter on the table. Finally Roselie sighed and picked it up, reading it out loud.
"To the Cullens.
Greetings! We are Rozlynn and Jezalynn Kestrol, twins for the years 1692. Again, greetings!
We write to inform you of our interests in your family. Such a large clan of our kind able to keep themselves sane on only the blood of animals. It is something far beyond what we can imagine. Even if we ourselves are animal hunters as well, we still find it amazing so many of you can accomplish it together."
Roselie's face formed into mask of disgust. "Are they serious? It isn't that amazing. Honestly!"
Alice shook her head, as a few of the others smiled. Bella took the letter from Roselie and started to read again.
"Perhaps our interest in you is a bit odd, and we apologize if this is somewhat troublesome for you. However, because you have been such an inspiration to us, we greatly wish to meet you. All of you including..."
Bella trailed off, shocked. Edward put and arm around her and picked up where she left off.
"Including your new addition, Miss Isabella Swann. To you, Miss Swann, or maybe it would be Mrs. Cullen now, to you we say you are lucky to have found a clan of us as kindhearted as the Cullens. We wish you the best of luck in all you do."
Edward glared at the paper in resentment, he felt uncomfortable that someone knew so much about them. Alice sighed and took the letter from Bella, taking her turn to read.
"Dearest Cullens, if it is not too much of a burden for you to bother you with, we wish to visit you, even if it is for a brief time. We will be stopping by your territory at the end of the current month or early next if we are somehow held up. We leave the option of meeting or not to you. If you do wish to meet us, as we do to you, please leave the time and place of rendezvous at the local post office. You may leave such a message under our name. If you do not wish to meet with us, leave no message and we will leave without causing a disturbance.
We hope to finally meet you soon, Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Roselie, Jasper, Alice, Edward and Isabella.
Best regards, now and always
Roz & Jeza"
Alice finished reading and put the letter back on the table. Again they lapsed back into silence, all of them still.
"How did they know?" Bella whispered. "How did they know about me?"
Edward tightened his arms around her.
"They've been watching us," Jasper said slowly. "For a while, I'd assume."
"Why are they so interested in us?" Emmett slammed his fist on the table, the legs buckled and the top dented where his hand had hit.
"Emmett," Esme sighed, although she couldn't summon the emotion to be upset about the damage done to the table.
"What are we going to do?" Edward asked.
"I hope they don't mind meeting us." A girl with long black hair looked sideways at her sister as she picked at her nails. "You think they will?"
"How should I know!" her sister replied, kicking a stone and sending it flying several feet. She looked completely opposite of her sister, her hair was short and warm blonde color.
"What about you, Alex? Do you think they'll meet with us?" the dark haired girl asked.
"I wouldn't know. Why do you want to meet with them so bad?" the man walking in front of the girls responded, shaking his head.
"I think they will, Roz," the boy with him said, looking over his shoulder at her with a smile.
"You're so weird, Caleb, I swear." The blonde girl laughed.
"Sorry, Jeza," he ducked his head.
"Looks like we don't have to wait much longer," the man named Alex said, pointing to the post office not much further up the road from them.
"Thank god!" Jeza sighed.
"I can't wait!" Roz laughed, her dark hair blowing out behind her dramatically in the light wind.
They sped up slightly, already walking faster than a human would. Alex and Caleb fell behind, and waited outside when the girls went in.
"Do you have a message for Roz and Jeza Kestrol?" Jeza asked.
"Kestrol? Yes, would you be Rozlynn and Jezalynn, then?" the stout man behind the glass smiled at them.
"Yes, what's the message?" she shifted her weight in annoyance, Roz shyly hovering behind her.
"Here you go, Miss," he smiled widely as he handed her a plain white envelope. "Are you related to them? The Cullens, I mean. They're an odd family."
"We're not related." Jeza said shortly, taking the envelope and turning on her heels, and leaving.
"Thank you," Roz added quietly, following her sister out. She grinned triumphantly.
"What dos it say, Jeza?" she asked, almost bouncing with anticipation, leaning over her sister's shoulder.
"Look up," the blonde girl read confused, furrowing her brows as she started at the two words.
"Really?" Roz asked, looking at the short note herself. "How strange."
The girls looked at each other on the doorstep of the post office, confused slightly. Simultaneously, they turned and looked strait ahead at the wooded park across the street.
My first Twilight fic, so take it easy on me...nah, just kidding, you can flame me if you want, I don't car, just help me out so I can write more. Yes, Summer, Roz is you; you just tell me if she does anything that's not you and I'll change it, I swear!
Anyway, reveiw me people, I need the motivation to get my lazy ass to work on these things...although I do have the next four or five chapters of this written, I just gotta edit them and get them up. Happy reading, love y'all, and hope to see you in chapter two: Meeting the Cullens!!
