Disclaimer: I do not own the Twilight series or The Covenant. This story will contain rape, violence, some swearing, OC, OOCness, alternate universe and time-line, and what can be viewed as twincest.
A/N: To make life easier and things make sense with what I previously wrote, even though this takes place when Twilight happened, the pack is that of New Moon (Sam, Jake, Jared, Paul, Quil, and Embry. Leah may or may not be added later).

August 25, 2004
Phoenix, Arizona
Twins POV
"Oh, I'm going to miss you girls!" Our mom is easily excitable and emotional, especially when we go on trips. But our past trips only lasted a few days when we went to Italy, or a few months over summer vacation to see our Dad.
Giving her hugs, "We'll miss you too Mom¸ but we aren't leaving for a few more days. And you can call and email us any time."
"I know girls, but this is much bigger than your summer trips to see you dad or your trips to Italy This time you'll be staying there for good."
"We know Mom. But it's not like we're really leaving home, there's still a few more years for that."
She gives us a look, "Don't remind me. Do you have everything you'll need? What about your car?"
"Yeah, most of our clothes are staying since we can't wear them in Forks. And we told you the other day that someone was coming for it tomorrow and that you can drive us to the airport if you want."
"Oh, right. You said it would be at the airport for you in Port Angeles, right? So that your dad doesn't have to use the cruiser to get you?"
"Right. There's no need to worry. Why don't we go out to dinner tonight, as a going away party?"
"Sure! I'll grab my purse!"
With a sigh, we get ready. It's not that we don't love our mom, but she worries a lot for someone so scatter brained. And it doesn't help that we have to hide so much from her, she doesn't even know why we visit Italy. We've grown up fast, and she doesn't understand us as much as Dad does. But it's just a few more days until we're back with him and the pack, and can see the Cullens again after so many years.
September 1, 2004, Afternoon
US 101 West Highway
Bella's POV
After a long flight, both of us were tired and cramped, but we still had a long drive ahead of us. Luckily, it gave us a chance to get some work done before we arrived home.
'Why don't you call dad and tell him where we are, then we might as well check up with the Volturi. Good plan, better to do it now than have to tonight when we just want to sleep.'
Lenie grabbed her cell and put it on speaker before dialing Dad's house number. Luckily, he picked up quickly. "Is that you girls? You safe?"
"Yeah Dad, it's us and we're fine. We're on the 101 headed your way. We just wanted to check in and make sure everything was okay and if you needed us to stop anywhere on the way there."
"I'm glad you girls are safe. And everything is fine, I thought we could order a couple of pizzas when you got here. Give you to a chance to relax. But Billy was hoping you two would go down to the Res in a few days, even though he'll see you on your birthday."
"Sounds like a plan, and we could go down tomorrow while you're at work. We were going to go out anyway to grab a few things, might as well stop by to see him then."
"Okay, you girls stay safe, I'll see you soon. Bye."
"Bye Dad."
'Should I call Demetri directly? He is one of the ones that's coming here. And he probably already knows where we are. Might as well, the Elders already know what they need to, only he and Felix should be coming, and we haven't told them when yet.'
We both take a deep breath before she dials. Regardless of how well we know them, we are still human and the Volturi have the power to change that at a drop of a hat, something we want to hold off as long as possible. Unfortunately, vampires tend to answer much faster than humans, especially when they know who's calling.
"Hello girls, glad to see you landed safely, I assume you are calling about your equipment."
"Hello Demetri, and yes we are. Our father knows that you will be stopping by for our birthday, and we figured it was best to bring it to the party on the 11th. The party starts at one, and we assume both the Cullens and members of the pack will be there, as well as some humans. But we don't plan on telling them who, exactly, we work for."
Chuckling, "Going for the element of surprise?"
"You know us, it's far more fun that way. And it gives us more time without suspicious questions."
"We'll bring the equipment then, someone has already disposed of your old things. You'll be getting upgraded laptops and software. Your old stuff was getting out of date. We also have a few surprises for you, both you'll have to wait to see them. If that's all, I must be going."
"Yes, that was all for now, anything can wait. We'll see you soon. Bye."
"Bye girls."
'So now all we have to do is find the Cullens and tell them we remember them and get the pack to agree to not cause shit at our party. Should be a piece of cake.'
We have a busy few weeks ahead of us alright, but I'm sure we'll get through it.
~A short time later~
Finally, we pulled up to the house, and we could see our dad coming out the door to help us bring in our stuff.
"There's my girls," he says with a huge smile on his face. "Let's get your stuff inside. While you both settle in, I'll order the pizza. Extra cheese?"
"You know it. And thanks for the help."
Luckily, with the funds from our work, we were able to have the basement finished years ago. The door on the side of the house leads to the basement, and our bedrooms, making it much easier to move stuff in. The door opens into the family game room, which has a small workout area at the far wall. Both of our bedrooms are on the right, mine closer to the door since Lenie is too nervous sleeping that close to it, even in such a small town. Both bedrooms have a small window, but they are left locked unless someone is awake in the room. Since we're twins, we usually share clothes, so we had a closet made between our rooms that opens in both. We even convinced Dad to have a full bathroom installed down here, which is only accessible from our bedrooms. What teen girl wouldn't love to have her own private bathroom?
We didn't have much with us, all things considered. Mostly mementoes and a few outfits. Clothes for Arizona aren't warm enough for Forks, and our rooms had been set up years ago for our summer visits. We do plan on getting some warmer outfits when we go shopping tomorrow, although groceries are more important. We love our dad, but the man can't cook at all.
We just managed to set up the bathroom for Lenie's nightly shower and my morning ones when the food arrived.
The Next Morning
Selene's POV
Izy and I woke up pretty late, but that makes sense after yesterday. Our dad already left for work, but we were sitting in the kitchen eating some bagels and drinking tea. Twin or not, it baffles me that Izy can wake up, shower, and get dressed before breakfast. I'm still in pajamas, but thankfully the tea has caffeine.
"Once you're actually awake, get dressed. We said we'd go visit Uncle Billy today. And we have to convince the pack to be civil if they want to show up. Yeah, I know. Just give me 20 more minutes and I'll be ready. If you want to clean up breakfast I can meet you in the car. Will do."
Reluctantly, I down the rest of my lukewarm tea and head downstairs to get dressed. I throw up a t-shirt and a pair of capris while running a brush through my hair, then throw it up in a mess bun. I grab a pair of flats from the closet and my purse before heading out the basement door. Once in the car, Izy backs out and to the Res we go.
A short time later…
Pulling up to the driveway to Uncle Billy's house, we can tell that he has guests over, including some of the pack. 'Wait, is that Jake? It looks like it, I wonder when he shifted?'
Walking out back, we see Uncle Billy in his wheelchair, Sam, Quil, Embry, and Jake.
"Hey guys! Wow Jake, you've certainly changed since we saw you last."
Running over to give us hugs, "A whole year can do that to a person."
"Right. Cause turning into a wolf has nothing to do with it."
"Wait how do you know about that?"
"We can see it. All the wolves have the same green spot in their aura. We haven't seen in on anyone else and we know it's possible that you could have shifted. Add that to the psychical changes, it's pretty obvious."
Billy wheeled over, chuckling, "The girls are good. Despite their other associations."
"Speaking of those. We wanted to let you guys know that it highly likely that the Cullens will show up to our birthday party. And since our dad is still in the dark about the supernatural, we wanted to make sure anyone that shows up is civil to one another. The Cullens will be getting the same talk too, so that everyone knows not to cause a scene in front of humans. Especially since some people from work our coming by."
"As long as no vampires start anything," Sam starts, "then there shouldn't be any problems. You've told us they don't intend to hurt people, but accidents can still happen."
"Was there anything else you guys wanted to talk about? Or should we just hang out and catch up before the party next week?"
"That should be all girls. But come sit down and eat. I want to know what my nieces have been up too."
Sitting down, we start catching up. We can stay for a few more hours before shopping.
