Chapter 6 Meeting the Cullens

Hugo and I had decided to walk through the forest, not really knowing what else to do. Were we meant to live out the rest of our lives in this time? If that was to be the case, I was glad I had Hugo with me. We stop when we see something peculiar.

"A house in the middle of the forest?" I ask.

"Three guesses as to whom it belongs to," Hugo says.

"I think I'd only need one," I reply.

My feet start moving closer to it. It was like it was calling me to it. Hugo grabs my hand to stop me from going either further.

"We're not going in there," he says.

"Maybe they can help," I tell him.

He groans as he follows me. We stop when we hear a laugh.

"Look what we got here," a female voice says.

She is them in front of us. She is most beautiful. She reminds a bit Victorie with her looks. My hand enters the inside of my jacket, grasping my wand.

"Welcome. I'm Carlisle and this is my family," a man says as he comes into view with five other vampires, Edward one of them, and a human, who was clinging onto him. This really confused me. There was no way they could be together.

"Candace and Hugo," I reply.

There was definitely something different about these vampires. They seemed to be in control of there thirst. The girl with Edward was proof of that.

"Edward told us about you two," the brunette vampire says.

I cannot help but give a laugh. Of course he had.

"Yes, I'm sure he has," I reply.

"I see my little comments worked," Edward says, obviously being able to read our emotions.

"Oh no, she isn't," the blonde suddenly says as my scent hits her. She started at us, but the guy next to her stopped her. "Emmett!"

"Just chill," Emmett tell her, and she shoves her arm away from his grasp.

I take out my wand. At any moment they could attack us, and I was going to ready.

"I can take you all with a swish of my wand," I say, but they stay where they are, not moving.

"Technically, that's not possible according to Professor Flictwick," Hugo whispers in my ear, and I roll my eyes at him.

"Hugo! Now's not the time for your mother's side to come out," I say angrily at him. They all start to laugh. "What's so funny?"

"We're not going to hurt you," Carlisle tells us.

I lower my wand. If they wanted us dead, they would have done so by now I realize.

Blondie takes in a deep breath and says, "Oh goodie, another mutt."

"What's going on?" a male voice asks as he comes into view.

"Jacob, have you seen this girl before?" Edward wonders.

His eyes move to me.

"No," Jacob replies.

"Why would I know him?" I demand as Hugo gives me a look.

Jacob and I look each other. No, I have never seen him before in my life. So why did Edward assume we did?

"He's like you," Edward says, thinking that should have been common sense to me.

"Impossible," Jacob gasps, and my brows level.

How would he know? Hugo takes my hand as I begin to tense. I had never met another like me beside my father.

"And why's that?" I ask feeling offended for some reason.

"Then show me," Jacob says, crossing his arms, waiting for me prove something that he should how I cannot.

"Show you what?" I ask, waiting for him to say the words that I know he will.

"Turn into a wolf," Jacobs says, and I cannot control my laugher any longer.

Hugo and I burst out laughing at him. I am sure look like crazy people, but I do not care. I finally control myself enough to address Jacob.

"Oh you poor thing," I say with a small laugh. "You think you're a real werewolf? You're nothing more than an Animagus" My tone then turns dark. I never knew I had that side of me. "A shape shifter, I'm the real thing. Every full moon, I turn into your worst nightmare."

Maybe it was my wolf instinct coming out, I do not know. Knowing I had that power, if you would call it that, felt good.

"That's enough glutting, Candace," Hugo says, pulling me back to him. I could sense the fear in him. He had never seen my like this, and I cool down. "I think they get the picture."

The smallest vampire of the group grasps. We all look at her as the blond male next to her takes her hand.

"What is it, Alice?" he asks with concern in his voice.

"The newborns," she says. "They're going to attack."

I look at Hugo for an explanation as to how she could how this, but I answer it before I can ask him. She could see the future.

"Victoria," Edward says, and his eyes move to the human girl, who hold onto him tighter.

"You all have a problem?" Hugo asks.

"Nothing that we can't handle ourselves," Alice's mate says.

Carlisle then looks at us when concern in his eyes.

"You best be going home," he says.

My eyes look down at the broken Time-Turner around my neck.

"We can't. We're can of stuck here," I say.

"What do you mean?" the human girl asks.

I look at her and give her a kind smile.

"We're not from this time," I tell her, but she does not seem to be shocked about this news.

Of course she is not. She runs around with vampires and would-be werewolves.

"We've tried going back, but our Time-Turner as malfunctioned," Hugo explains.

"Then welcome to the fight," Emmett says with a huge smile on his face.

He clearly loved all this talk about fighting.

"Wait," Carlisle's mate says, "we can't expect them to help. They're children."

"Maybe we can help," I say, looking over at Hugo, who nods. "We have our own powers after all."

And so that is how we ended up in a battle with two groups of vampires.
