"Hayley, where are we?" Jeremy asked the next day as they wandered around the woods.
"Don't worry." Hayley replied. "I know exactly where we are."
"Are you sure?" Zac asked. "I've seen that tree four times."
"How can you tell? All these trees look the same!" Taylor said, smacking Zac on the back of his head.
"Behave yourselves." Hayley scolded. She swore that sometimes it was like being on tour with a bunch of three year olds, and she always got stuck playing mommy.
They trudged along in the mud until they came to a house. "See, I told you I knew where we were." Hayley said as they walked up.
"Hays, I'm not to sure about this." Jeremy said.
"Totally, some psycho killer could live there!" Zac said, earning another slap on the back of the head from Taylor.
Hayley rolled her eyes and walked up to the door and about two seconds after she knocked, a short girl with spiky hair answered it. "Hi… we're kinda lost… could we use your phone?"
"See! I told you we were lost!" Zac said.
"Sure! Come on in!" the girl said. "I'm Alice, by the way."
"Your last name wouldn't happen to be 'Cullen' would it?" Hayley asked.
"Yes, it is. Why?" Alice looked at her as she led them into the living room.
"Uhm…. No reason…" Hayley said.
"Oh, Alice, I see you have some friends over." A tall, blonde man stood up from his spot on the couch.
"Oh, they were lost in the woods. They just need to use the phone." Alice replied.
"Well, that's no reason not to be hospitable." The man said, walking over to them. "My name is-"
"Dr. Carlisle Cullen." Hayley said.
"Yes. Are you from around here?" Carlisle asked.
"No… uhm… I'm Hayley, that's Josh, Zac, Taylor, and Jeremy." Hayley said.
"Oh my gosh!" Alice said. "They're Paramore!"
"Yeah…" Josh said. "We're touring and Hayley read the Twilight books that were set here, so we were forced to stop here."
"Twilight?" Carlisle asked.
"It's a book series about this vampire who falls in love with a human." Hayley said.
They all looked at each other, then laughed. "Well, it sounds very interesting." Alice said.
The blond girl who was sitting on the sofa rolled her eyes and the big guy next to her laughed.
"Their names wouldn't happen to be Edward or Bella, would it?" the guy asked.
"Yeah. It is. Edward is the vampire an Bella is the human, until the fourth book, Breaking Dawn. They get married and have a little daughter, Renesme, who Bella's best friend- and werewolf- Jacob imprints on." Hayley explained.
The blond girl grew grave. "Have you been following us?"
"No, Rosalie… it's all in a book series." Hayley replied.
"How did you know my name?" the girl demanded, jumping up.
"Well, in the books the author described a girl with long blond hair and was the most beautiful girl in the world…" Hayley said.
"Well then, you shouldn't believe everything you read in books. If you think you know so much about our family, then who is that?" she gestured to the guy that was sitting next to her on the sofa.
"Emmett." Hayley said simply. "His human name was McCarthy, but you found him being attacked by a bear and you changed him. I can tell it's him being he's very muscular and he looks like a big teddy bear, the way the author describes him as a book. And that's Jasper." She turned to the hesitant blond man in the corner. "I can tell because he's blond and he's hesitant, which means that he doesn't have as much control over his blood lust as the rest of you do because he hasn't been a 'vegetarian vampire' as long as the rest of you have. And you must be Esme." Hayley turned to the mother like presence in the room. "You're basically the mother in the group. And Bella and Edward are probably at their cottage, and Renesme with Jacob… and if I'm right about all of this, that means that you all or vampires… but we shouldn't be afraid because you all drink animal blood and wouldn't hurt a human…" she took a deep, calming breath.
"Well, you hit the nail on the head, so to speak." Alice said.
"If you got all this information from a book, then you know that you can't tell anyone about us, or we all, including you and everyone else you tell, dies." Rosalie said.
"You don't have to worry… we won't tell anyone, right guys?" Hayley said, turning toward the four boys who stood behind her.
They all nodded nervously.
"You can trust us." She said.
"Okay, I googled 'Twilight Saga' and nothing came up…" Alice said, reappearing in the room. "And it said you guys weren't on tour…"
"This is weird… I have the books in our bus… you guys can come with us because it's not sunny, so you won't sparkle." Hayley said.
"I'll go with you." Alice said.
"Me too, I have to see this for myself." Rosalie said.
Together Rosalie, Alice, Hayley, Josh, Taylor, Jeremy, and Zac walked out of the house, through the woods, and into town.
"Okay, where is our tour bus?" Hayley asked.
"Al parked it right here!" Taylor said.
"This is just creepy." Zac added.
"Well, why don't you guys come back to our home and we'll figure all of this out. You're welcome to stay as long as you need too." Alice said.
"Thanks…" Hayley said as they walked back to the house. What is going on in this strange little town?
