We pulled up in front of the house…late apparently. I got out of the car slowly and then walked around to the front, hearing the other cars of my pack pull up behind me. We'd left half of my pack at home…well the ones who hadn't wanted to come to this fuck ass shindig…but that made it about half. My pack got out and followed my lead as we walked towards the entrance. Alice was of course in front.

"Could you not try to be the most important person Alice?" I snapped at her. "Can you just let me take the lead?" She snarled something at me about werewolves hogging the spotlight, but I just told her to shut the fuck up and deal with it.

"Your name?" The bounce asked.

"Bella Swanskin."

He scanned the list, his eyes stopping at the top. "Yes I see, Bella and friends." He stepped out of our way, his eyes straying to my dress, and then bulging wide when he saw the Vampires. "Go in," He mumbled and with an added crack he said. "Nice outfits."

"Fuck you!" Rufus and I snarled at him, causing the man to blanch…and then walked inside the others on our heels.

It was shocking, the house. It'd been decorated in a dark vampire theme, black and blood red was everywhere. There were intricate chandeliers and deep red rugs placed in the walkway. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair, felicitating a slap from Alice. "Stop that!" She snapped.

"Whatever." I growled and walked down the hallway to where the music and voices were coming from.

"Welcome! Welcome everyone!" I heard my mother's voice come from a microphone. "We are all glad you are able to attend Richard's and Scarlet's eighteenth birthday. Now their father and I would like to present the music group of the night…NINE INCH NAILS!!!!"

The kid's screams rang out in excitement.

"I fucking love this band!" Emmett boomed out and we just laughed.

There was a long distance of stairs we were required to walk down and just as we began the eyes of the band member turned on us as they sang, going wide but then refocusing on the song. I saw my mother from the corner of my eye, and noticed that she was staring at me with interest…and something else was it fear I smelled?"

"Are the cars in place?" I asked Rufus and Nathan.

"Yep," Rufus said popping the 'p'.

"Nice, just let me go put these over on the table." I said, holding the red paper wrapped and black ribbon tied boxes in my hands and walking them over to the gift table. I placed the shared card on the table next to them, on it I'd written in my stylish, curly hand writing. "Richard and Scarlet. From your sister Bella."

Then I smelled it…werewolves—and they weren't my pack. I gazed around the room, only to have my eyes land on a group of older men. They were staring at me with different facial expressions; surprise, anger, shock, and bemusement. There was a group of young college looking students standing next to them—also staring at me—and when I smelled the air again and then looked at them, I knew they were werewolves as well. Werewolves in New York, who would have guessed? Maybe the roamed the city streets and acted as though the large buildings were tree's?

I laughed at the thought, and then walked off to find my pack in the overheated teenage embodied crowd. I slipped my way easily past bodies, their arms brushing by me and then I was with my pack, and we were just standing there not knowing what to do next.

"Go mingle…" I finally told them. "I need to speak with my mother."

"Bella…" Rufus said, Nathan laid a hand on his arm. "She can take care of herself," He told him.

"Fine." Rufus huffed, and then stalked off into the crowd dragging Nathan behind him.

"They're so cute!" Rose said.

"I know." I whispered.

"Does something like that happen often? You know, same sex imprinting?"

"I'm not sure." I told her. "I've never seen or heard about it before, but they're both extremely happy with one another so who cares." I was silent for a moment, the music in the background blasting my sensitive eardrums. "The thing I'm worried about though," I told her seriously as I watched Nathan and Rufus dance. "Is what will happen once Nathaniel has phased. Will he still love Rufus? Will Rufus be his imprint? It's scary for Rufus to think about that not happening, so most of the time we try to avoid that topic." I smiled and then walked silently away.

"Bella!" I heard someone call my name through the crowd. "BEL-LA! Hey wait up!" I turned quickly to see my sister coming towards me, her posse glaring furiously at her.

"What up?" I asked her.

"Nothing. Who were the gods you brought with you?" She asked.

"Just some friends," I told her. "I've known them forever." I was laughing in my mind as I told her the blatant lie.

"Come on," She said pulling on my arm. "I want you to meet my parents."

Excellent… I thought. Se dragged me through the overheated dancing crowd to a table filled with adults. My mother was sitting between two men, one of them my step father the other a younger college looking student…who was a werewolf. Fuck how many were in this city?

"Mom," Scarlet said excitedly.

"Yea baby," She asked breaking her eyes away from Phil and staring at her daughter. When her eyes looked at me they widened in alarm and her mouth fell open.

"This is my friend Bella."

"Bella?" She asked startled staring at me with shock filled eyes.

"Yes," I answered her. "I believe you remember me."

"What?" Scarlet asked confused.

"Hello mother," I said to her. "Long time no see.


"Rufus…" Nathan moaned as he was shoved against a random wall in a empty hallway. "Rufus oh my god!"

"God your so fucking gorgeous," Rufus whispered in his ear, causing Nathan to shiver.

Nathan pulled Rufus' mouth away from his neck and brought it to his lips. The kiss was like liquid fire, spicy, sexy, and totally perfect he wanted to kiss Rufus forever.

Rufus began to trail his had down Nathans small body, his hand moving slowly. He reached the button on Nathan's pants and was just about to unbutton it when someone cleared their throat.

"Ehem…" It was an annoyed throat clearing. Nathan gasped in shock when he realized his older brother was standing there. He was clad in black jeans and a red fishnet long sleeved shirt, similar to Rufus' outfit. "D-Damon…" He began. Rufus growled angrily at being interrupted but let Nathan go anyway.

"Hello." Damon said over politely. "You must be the Rufus my family and I heard so much about."

"I must be." Rufus said noticing how similar Damon and Nathaniel looked.

"Hello Damon," Nathaniel finally murmured, his voice low and sweet just like always.

"Nathaniel," Damon said. "I didn't know you came to parties like these."

"Bella wanted to go…" Nathaniel said. "So I just came along."

"Bella Swanskin?" Damon asked sharply, assessing Rufus with an appraising eye. Rufus smelled the werewolf scent coming off of him and wasn't surprised to find it on him.

"Yes," Nathaniel said, he linked his hand with Rufus' slightly afraid that the moment that Rufus saw his brother he would leave him, but he didn't voice his insecurities.

"I'll see you at home tonight Nat," Damon said, using Nathaniel's childhood nickname. "It was nice meeting you Rufus…" Damon sashayed gracefully out of the hallway, his blue green eyes, so similar to Nathaniel's, appraised Rufus like a sundae.

"You too." Rufus said.

Nathaniel watched as Damon turned the corner, finally gone, but his demanding presence still held itself in the hallway he and Rufus occupied. "Lets go back," Nathan said.

"Nathan," Rufus questioned.

But Nathan didn't answer, just walked towards the exit. Quickly Rufus caught his wrist, holding him back. "What's wrong?" He asked worriedly.

"Nothing," Nathan whispered, his insecurities still swirling in his mind.

"Did I say something to upset you? Was I disrespectful?" He asked hurriedly. "I'm sorry, I'm not good with formalities."

"It isn't that." Nathan said slowly. "I'm just… what if-,"He couldn't continue."

"Nathan…"

"Do you still want me even after you've seen my brother?" He asked quietly. "Even after you've seen how perfect he looks, how much more manly he is than I am." He laughed bitterly. "I'm always made fun of because I'm smaller. My family likes to make cracks at me and say I was probably meant to be a girl." Silent tears ran down his cheeks and instantly Rufus pulled him into his arms, Nathan's small frame fitting his every curve.

"I love you!" Rufus whispered fiercely. "No one else. That's how imprinting works…A-and I don't want to love anyone else." He kissed Nathaniel fiercely, a deep possessive kiss, that seared Nathan with heat and curled his toes. "B-but what if after you become a wolf you won't want me anymore?" Rufus whispered, bending to burry his face in Nathan's throat. "What happens if after you phase you imprint on someone else?"

Nathan was shocked as he listened to Rufus voice his own insecurities…he hadn't known Rufus had any. "I love you!" Nathan said just as fiercely as Rufus had. "I won't ever love anyone else, even after I phase." He pulled Rufus' face away from his neck and kissed him again.

A few seconds later they were both panting …and Rufus was once again shoving Nathaniel against a wall, their intent, before Damon had interrupted them, fully back on track.
