Disclaimer: I do now own Twilight!
I just really wanted to write a story where characters read their own books. I was debating between doing Twilight or Harry Potter – and in the end, Twilight won. I do love Harry Potter more, but there is way less stories with Twilight characters reading the books, and plenty of Harry Potter ones.

The atmosphere in the Cullens' living room was tense. Even the return of Carlisle and Esme with their final witness – his name was Alistair, and all he did was sit in the attic, brooding and complaining – couldn't ease the tension.
The TV was always left on, either playing a football game or on the news channel, though none of the vampires had any interest in watching it. The only ones who watched the TV – or made any sort of noise at all – were Jacob, Seth, Renesmee, and sometimes, Emmett.
Currently, Seth and Jacob were seated on the white couch, their eyes locked on the flat-screen TV, occasionally cheering. They were playing a video game on the Xbox 360. Loud explosions and shooting noises were coming from the speakers.
Edward, Bella, and Renesmee all silently entered the living room. Jacob immediately stopped what he was doing, his eyes flickering over to Renesmee.
"Sorry, Seth," Jacob said, placing his controller on the coffee table. "I'm done playing."
"What. C'mon, Jake," Seth complained, but it didn't matter.
Jacob got to his feet and headed over to Bella. Renesmee reached for Jacob and Bella handed her over to him. The moment Jacob had Renesmee in his arms, he sat down in one of the nearest armchairs and she placed her little hand against his cheek, telling him about her morning so far.
"I'll play with you, Seth." Emmett said, sitting down next to Seth and grabbing the controller which had been Jacob's.
"Thanks –" Seth began.
Suddenly, a bright white light filled the living room. Everyone shielded their sensitive eyes from the blinding light.
Within seconds, the light had disappeared as quickly as it had come. However, standing in the room were two new people.
Everyone within the room immediately moved into a defensive position.
The two people – a teenage girl and boy – were both immensely beautiful.
The girl had a petite statute and stood at the height of 5'2. Her hair was an unusual bronze colour which fell to her waist in perfect ringlets with deep-set, brilliant green eyes which sparkled. She had a heart-shaped face, high cheekbones, perfect eyebrows, a straight nose, a strong jawline, and full lips. Her skin was pale, but she also had rosy cheeks.
The boy stood at the height of 5'10 and was lean. He had short, untidy yet curly, raven-black hair and deep-set chocolate brown eyes that twinkled. He, too, had perfect and angular features – high cheekbones, a strong jawline, perfect eyebrows, a straight nose, and full lips. His skin was russet, opposed to the girl's pale skin.
"They look like us." Bella murmured softly to Edward. "And Jake,"
Edward nodded his head. The two strangers did look like him, Bella, and Jacob.
"Their heart beats also sound like Renesmee's." Bella noted, and it was true. Both the teenage boy and girl had rapidly beating hearts.
"Edward," Carlisle spoke, looking over at his adopted son.
"They mean us no harm." Edward announced, coming out of his crouch.
Rather reluctantly, everyone came out of their defensive positions, though everyone still kept a wary eye on the two strangers.
"I'm sorry for the surprise." The teenage girl spoke in a lovely, bell-like voice. "My name is Sarabella Black."
"And my name is E.J." The teenage boy said. "I am her brother."
Sarabella gestured to herself and her brother. "We are from the future."
Jacob recoiled in surprise, but he didn't say anything, mostly because he didn't know what to say. This was impossible.
Eleazar shook his head. "This is impossible…" He said to himself. "It can' be… but…" He began muttering different theories under his breath.
Maggie took a step forward, her crimson red eyes locked on Sarabella and E.J. "They are telling the truth." She told everyone. "They are from the future."
Jacob was shaking his head. These two teenagers looked like a combination of him, Edward, and Bella… and the only way that was possible would be if… Jacob looked down at Renesmee, who was still in his arms, and shook his head again. He couldn't – and wouldn't – think about his Nessie like that. It was just impossible for him. Right now, Jacob was just her big brother, her protector, her wolf.
Renesmee pressed her hand against Jacob's cheek, showing him that everything was okay, that nothing could change.
"So you are…" Bella didn't finish her sentence, though she motioned towards Jacob and Renesmee.
Sarabella nodded her head. "Yes, we are."
"Why are you here?" Carlisle questioned politely.
Sarabella reached into the over-the-shoulder bag she was wearing and pulled out a book-set. "We have four books to read with you." She said, sounding rather serious.
Emmett suddenly burst into laughter. "You come to the past to read some books with us."
E.J rolled his eyes and said, "These books are the Twilight Saga: Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn."
"Okay," Garrett said. He, too, was laughing. "They are still books."
Sarabella scowled. "These books follow the lives of Bella and Edward. And the last book – Breaking Dawn – has the outcome of the Volturi confrontation, which is why we'll be reading that book with you first, and then the other three."
"What." Bella said, her reddish-orange eyes going to the book-set.
Sarabella nodded her head. "We want you all to read these books, as well as a few other people."
"I'm not sure if they will want to read the books with us." Edward spoke in answer to whatever Sarabella was thinking.
"I don't care if they want to or not." Sarabella said. "They will be reading these books…"

Billy, Sue, all the shape-shifters – and their imprintees – had all been gathered, rather reluctantly, into the Cullens' living room. Even Alistair had come down from the attic. Due to so many people being in the living room, Esme brought in chairs from other rooms – as well as the basement storage room – for everyone to sit. Though, most of the vampires just preferred to stand.
"Well then," Sarabella said, looking around the room at everyone. "Who'll be reading first?"
"I will," Seth said, shrugging his shoulders. He got to his feet and walked over to Sarabella, taking the book from her. When his fingers brushed hers, he felt a tingly, electric feeling which seemed to jolt through his bones. However, he pretended not to notice and returned back to his spot with the book.
Seth opened the book and cleared his throat…

Okay, so that is the first chapter! I hope you liked it!
I thought it would be interesting to have Jacob and Renesmee's children from the future come to the past to read the books with them. I wasn't going to do Breaking Dawn first, but I thought it would be better for the storyline. I'll then do Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse after that.
Also, I tried finding a story where even the Cullens' witnesses read the books, but I could never find one, so that's why they're in this. I also wanted all the shape-shifters and their imprintees involved as well.
