One Week Later
Forks High School
Lunchtime

The Cullen family sat on their usual table all quietly and quickly conversing with each other. No one could really catch onto what they were saying. They could see the Cullens' mouths opening and closing but never hear words from their parted lips. The hottest topic in the family was currently the Green siblings, without a word the pair had disappeared during the night of Alexis and Edward's date. Their scents lingered at the border of Forks before disappearing completely; tire tracks blackened the grey roads.

Alice couldn't foresee where they exactly were. Edward was anxious to know where a certain sibling was. He received no word from her.

"Edward, I'm sure their alright maybe they went to visit some family," Alice assured her brother who glared at her quickly. "Although I can't see them I'm sure they're fine,"

Edward just grunted. Jasper could feel the irritated vibes flowing off him and used his gift. "Thanks Jasper," Edward smile at his blonde brother who nodded back. Emmett gave a look of sympathy towards his brother while his wife rolled her eyes and crinkled her nose in distaste.

"What is that awful smell?" she asked covering her nose and mouth as that awful stench of a wet dog entered her system, "It's those dogs," she continued to whine.

Edward stood up from the table, "Excuse me, they seem to be asking for me," Emmett and Jasper glanced at each other before they stood up following their brother in case a fight broke out. "They're asking about the Green's," Edward explained to the two equally dangerous vampires as he.

"We don't know anything," Emmett stated, "We could also ask them that," he added as they stepped into the forest nearby the school.

There were already three giant wolves standing their growling as soon as the vampires stepped into view. Jasper used his gift to calm everyone down. The wolves could feel their anger residing quickly and replaced by serenity. "Stop using your gift leech!" Edward translated for Jacob as his furs raised and his body shook with anger. "Where are they?"

Jasper rolled his eyes at the wolves and continued to calm everyone. Emmett cracked his knuckles appearing strong and ready. Edward stood perfectly attempting to be calm on the outside, "We don't know. After that night, I haven't seen nor heard from her since," Quil growled from beside Jacob, "I would never!" Edward hissed hearing Quil's thought to his friend.

Emmett rolled his eyes and crossed his arms across his chest, his biceps popping out of the t-shirt he was wearing. "They're scents disappeared at Forks borders, they were either kidnapped or picked up. There was one scent of another," he informed the wolves who were not allowed in forks as part of the treaty. "We figured they went to visit some friends or family,"

Jacob gave a growl the snorted. "When we hear from them we will tell them to contact you soon," Edward promised the younger wolf who nodded and the three dashed off further into the forest back into their territory. Edward turned to his brothers and shrugged slightly, "Puppies," he teased as Emmett burst into laughter at the usually uptight brother who just cracked a joke.

"It must be the end of the road, you just cracked a joke," Jasper and Emmett grinned as Edward frowned and rolled his eyes at his easier going brothers.

In the forest
Border of United States and Canada

There was a small fire burning brightly in the darkness of the forest. There were some sitting on the fallen logs others standing close to the fire while few stood against the trees away from the burning light. Most were here, safe, others were still missing but that was expected, many had escaped and became separated it was by luck and perhaps Fate that this group had met.

"Since we're all here, let's cut to the chase," the tall man announced as he looked around at the family he had. "We've lost a few in the past couple of months," quiet murmurs of agreements chorused through the group. "Ben, Amelia and Judith," to each of them held memories of the three deceased. Memories that they would have to keep close to their heart as they would never see victims again for they were, well dead.

"Samuel," Alec interrupted his friend. They had grown up together, slept in beds beside each other since they were babies. They were practically brothers just like they were siblings to the other members in their group. "What about the others? The ones from Alexis' group?" everyone stared over at the quiet girl sitting on one of the logs staring intently at the fire.

She was the youngest, she was the only one from her group that they had seen or found so far and they began to worry for the others being alive. "Let's focus on what we have to do to survive right now." She softly spoke as they stared at her, "Max and the others can survive out there. I'm sure they're searching for me right now," she assured not only the others but herself.

Samuel nodded at and masterly averted the attention right back to him "We're gathered here to work on our next game plan. Do we fight back or do we hide?" he asked everyone the glow of the fire made him look almost sinister.

"I say we fight back," a voice sneered from the shadows. The attention straight onto him as the shadows covered his face but there no was no need for the fire when they could see the young man clear in the dark. "We've been doing the dirty work and hiding in the shadows long enough. We deserve some normalcy too,"

"We're still small and weak," a woman protested as she stood up from the logs, "And normalcy is something we will never grasp. We're different from humans, it's a fact." She stated staring at every one of them. There were nods of agreement.

Alec rolled his eyes, "I like what we're doing. Just fight remote areas, Alexis and I are living quite nicely in Forks," there were a few snorts at the name and the fact that Alec liked hiding in the shadows, "Hey, you'll like living with the locals if you would all choose remote areas, stop choosing big cities just because there's a big population doesn't mean they can't find you,"

Agreements and disagreements rang out through the night. The pros and cons thrown out against each other whether they should fight or flight. Alexis cleared her throat as she stood up slowly, "Hiding isn't an option, I agree, we should be able to have a form of normalcy but hiding is our only option right now. Our numbers are small, humans are great. If we make ourselves known to the world, we won't get the normalcy we have but rather the opposite. Humans, they don't like what's not exactly like them," she explained as she watched the faces of her people, people who were exactly like her.

"This land isn't only our, there are other occupants living here as well, we have to remember that. If we break war, we're going to destroy what we want as our home and the homes of many others, resulting not only war against humans but other kinds,"

"Woah, let's hold it there, other kinds? What do you mean?" one of them asked confused as ever. Samuel nodded at Alexis as she pressed her lips together in thought.

"Exactly what it means," Alec cryptically answered.

"You mean to tell us that we're not the only non humans out here?" Alexis nodded at the question, "Damn..." Whispers of discussion chorused through the scattered group. "What do you know so far?"

Alexis smiled softly as she stared at the curious young man. "We have reasons to believe that vampires and werewolves do exist where we live." Alec nodded to back up Alexis on her words. "We're co-existing. They don't know what we are exactly but Alec and I are sure they're not human."

"What are they like?" the woman who spoke up earlier asked. Their disaster completely forgotten for now as their attention was stuck on knowing supernatural creatures do exist among them. "Are they like what the books and movies portray?"

Alec chuckled at his eager siblings, "I got to know the werewolves and they're large. Their bodies run on a temperature of 108.9, their smell is great just like a wolf and they smell awful," he grimaced remembering their wet dog smell. Alexis rolled her eyes.

"They're not that bad," she defended her sort of friends, "I got to know the vampires. They're pale, all of them, and they're beautiful – inhumanely beautiful, they're fast and strong, their smell is heightened and each of them have the same features – their eyes, it's a golden colour when they're well fed and darkens when their getting hungry."

Samuel nodded as he stored this new information to mind. "The decision is made then," he announced, all questions about the mythical creatures ceased and they all turned to look at their appointed leader, "We'll continue hiding. We'll follow Alec and Alexis by hiding in remote areas," heads nodded as their leader spoke. His word final.

No goodbyes were exchanged just nods and small smiles at each other as the group departed leaving Samuel and the Greens siblings around the fire. They didn't say anything to each other not even look or glance in their direction just continued to stare at the fire as it spat and cackled mockingly at them. "I think they're far enough," Samuel spoke breaking the silence, "How are you two really?" his expression softened and looked much older.

Alexis smiled sweetly at the older man, "Same, it's hard to get the stuff we need in Forks but we managed – well Alec managed somehow," said man snorted as Samuel stared over at him curious. "What about you Samuel? You look so much older," the older man sighed heavily and scratched his cheek.

"It's hard to try and control some of us," Alec nodded listening intently to the words of his leader and brother, "And it gets lonely by myself," he chuckled getting a smile from the two siblings.

"Come live with us," Alec suggested looking over at Alexis who grinned and nodded. "We could use a maid," Samuel snorted but smiled, appreciating his brother and friend offering him a place to call home even for just perhaps a short time. "Really, come with us Samuel,"

Alexis placed her hand onto her leader's hand and gave a squeeze, "Sometimes it's better in numbers," she whispered to the older man who nodded slowly.
