Chapter 1

Ashlyn and Maddox were greeting people as they came to the fortress that served as their home of solitude. They had no last name, just Maddox and Mrs. Maddox. They saw them talking to people as they pulled in, the second group behind them and Ashlyn waved as they arrived; they nodded back and got out slowly. Their house was a huge gray fortress, they were surprised there weren't any dragons nearby but a whiff of the air and they smelled horses.

Next to them, a man and woman appeared, "Wow!" she laughed, "Whatcha doin'?"

"Just got here," Carlisle answered, eyeing her with an amused look. But the man caught his attention as well. His face was scarred so badly that he didn't know what he'd look like without them, but he smiled and introduced himself, "Carlisle Cullen."

"I'm Anya and this is my husband Lucien." The men shook hands, Anya went to Esme. "My wife Esme," Carlisle told her.

Esme laughed, "Nice to meet you." They shook hands and Anya even kissed her cheek, Esme giggled.

"She's this way with everybody."

"Beauty and the beast," Bella whispered to Edward and he nodded.

"Where's Eva!" Lucien asked the two greeting everyone.

"Around here somewhere Lucien, how was your trip?"

"Rome was perfect," Anya said. "We'll make those Greek jealous yet Ashlyn," Anya took Esme's hand. "Welcome to the Fortress, this is Ashlyn and her hub, Maddox." Anya said and Ashlyn and Maddox both chuckled. Anya was like a child, but she didn't seem to notice the difference or seem to want to grow out of it. She loved her husband that much was true and proven; Jasper felt it whenever she just looked at him.

But then a yell interrupted them. "Ow, you jerk!" Ashlyn and Maddox both turned as someone was thrown out of the trees behind them and he rolled in the grass; he pushed himself up. Then four girls ran over and sat down as they narrated. The boy was tall and looked like Maddox- his son- he had a strong jaw and facial features; his arms biceps were big too, like his father's; his blond hair was flaked with black. He wore jeans and a tee shirt- he was barefoot. The cuffs of his jeans were a little dirty but he obviously didn't care.

A girl jumped out of the forest, she had white hair but it was dyed- the roots were turning black like Maddox's again. Her bangs however were electric blue; she wore baggie green capris pants with pockets on her thighs and large ones below. Her shirt was a tight green that matched her pants almost; her eyes were like her brother's, blue; she was beautiful as her brother was handsome.

Edward saw Nessie trying to watch.

Just then before they could finish what they'd started four younger girls ran up and stopped; they sat down in a row. "Max gets the penalty for dropping his knife."

"Allison gets the point for picking it up."

Max and Allison. They turned to them and they giggled and two waved to Anya and Lucien who smiled and waved back. "Hi daddy, hi momma." The younger of the two said.

The other two were twin girl about six or seven and both were blond but had dark eyes, Anya whispered to Esme. "My babies, Evalyn and Lianda, the oldest two. Reyes and Danika's are the twins, Carlen and Tabby." Esme smiled, the four girls were pretty kids.

Max spoke next, "I did not drop it, I threw it."

"And I caught, I get the point the referees even said so."

"They can't even hold a sword yet Allison."

"Big baby." She said and attacked first, he held up his arm and twisted around; she jumped and evaded his kick."

"Ooh, nice kick. Maxi and Allison are doing quite well tonight aren't they Lianda?"

Lianda nodded, "They are Evalyn. Did you see how he grabbed her ankle and tried to twist and break it?"

Carlen rolled her eyes and folded her arms, "Yes, but she pulled it from his grip- did ya see that Lianda?"

"Carlen," Tabby groaned. "That was expected. Duh!" Anya and Lucien chuckled and Tabby giggled at Lucien. They all burst into applause when Max was thrown over her shoulder and landed on his back. She knelt over him; Evalyn and Tabby jumped up and tackled her down between his ankles. Maddox and Ashlyn laughed at her. "We got her Max, we got her for you!"

"You cheaters," she said calmly. Maddox went over and picked up both girls and set them down. Max gave his hand and Allison took it, he pulled her to her feet; he held out his arm and she used it to keep herself standing. "We need to do that more, I'm tired."

Max rolled his eyes and looked at Ashlyn, "We're done now."

Ashlyn folded her arms, "I hope so. You're on vacation aren't you?"

"So they tell us mother, but it's never a sure thing," he replied and went over to the twins and pulled them to their feet with their hands. Allison took Lianda. Evalyn went to Renesme. "We're going to ride the horses, wanna come ride with us?" She asked and held out her hand.

Allison glanced at Max, he looked up at her- she smirked at him. they exchanged their own glances, as if they were talking. Finally he shook his head and she cracked her knuckles in response. "Fine." She said allowed and Maddox looked at her, "What?"

"Fine?" he repeated.

She shrugged and took Lianda, "Can we race Allison- daddy!" she said remembering he was there and Lucien knelt as Lianda went to him and Evalyn after her, they hugged him tightly. "Next time, can we go, please? We missed you so much," she told him, pouting and Anya smiled as Evalyn went to her and wrapped her arms around her small waist.

"We'll consider it." He promised and Lianda whispered to him about the horses, he touched her nose. "I heard my dear," he whispered back and kissed her nose and she giggled and ran back to Allison who waited as Max handed her the dagger and she slipped it into a holster on her calf. Maddox cleared his throat, and nodded at it. "Isn't that mine?"

"You gave it to me and besides you have, like, twenty," she argued.

"Allison."

"I won't break this one," she promised.

Ashlyn took her hand, "Oh, just let her keep it Maddox. We have several," she also reminded him and with that Anya pulled off three of her own. "See, we can add those to our piles." Maddox made a face and Ashlyn laughed at him, "You're funny when you pout."

"Reyes and Danika here?" Lucien asked to change the subject.

Maddox nodded, "Yeah. They're upstairs getting ready." He glanced back at the house.

"Which floor?"

"Third." Maddox and Ashlyn answered, Ashlyn looked at Lucien. "So, boss- ready to not be all grouchy?"

"Boss," Renesmee repeated to Evalyn.

She giggled behind her hand, "My daddy's the leader of the Lords." Carlisle and Esme looked at her as she took Renesmee's hand again, "Come on- we have ten horses and our mare just had twins two days ago."

Allison made a face, "Eva, you stay from those foals. They're fragile!" She called as she hurried after them with Lianda chasing after her. Anya held Carlen's hand until she switched to Max and he picked her up instead, she climbed onto his back. Tabby took his hand and Anya looked at Maddox, "Reyes and Danika gonna take all night?"

"I hope not," came Maddox's reply and Ashlyn smiled at Esme.

"Reyes and Danika are actually kind of shy but their girls, the twins, aren't."

Emmett spoke next, "Evalyn said you're the leader of the Lords. What does that mean?"

Anya smiled, "Lords of the Underworld sweetcakes!" she laughed and Rosalie made a face at her, "Oh chill- I have my own man." She said and wrapped her arm around Lucien's waist.

"The Underworld? You mean hell?" Edward asked and Lucien nodded.

"See thousands of years ago, we were… normal. Me, Maddox, Reyes, Torin, Paris, and several others. Well, something happened- the bad kind of something and we were cursed with a demon. Each of us. Not to frighten you, but mine is the demon of Death- it's my job to take souls to the afterlife. We were cursed because we killed a woman, it was my fault."

"It was not and if you hadn't," Anya scolded. "I doubt we'd met Lucien."
