Third Person POV.

Joy spiked the miniscule town of Forks as the skies darkened and the snow began to fall; the chunky flakes, not at all pretty, were welcome nevertheless. Their swirling motions attracted much attention from the small kids, and electrified some of the older ones who had always loved the snowfall. Within a few hours of the first snowfall, the ground was already a 3-inch white landscape, the trees frozen and icy, fringed by icicles. The sky was a swirling mass of dark grey and unicorn white – so pure; it was hard to find a more Judgment-Day kind of sky anywhere else.

Sun wasn't seen much. The only feeble rays of sunshine were rare, only to come by possibly for one second of one early morning in a light week. But this was the time the Cullens could thrive in – they could be seen in the malls, in the streets, in the schools – anywhere and everywhere.

But in the time where everyone was enjoying, some people just couldn't rest without a constant worry in their minds.

For when one had forever to live – life could get boring. When one had forever to live, there wasn't something like that when they would die, they needn't worry anymore; quite the opposite, truth be told. They would have to wake up from their worrisome reverie everyday looking around and then going back into worrying.

The small town was as joyous as ever – it had changed year by year. Arrangements had been made in one of the unusually hot summers of Forks o construct a pool for fun – a very popular demand, which was then savored by everyone. The pool was a sparkling deep blue pile up of square-set water, and the kids loved to fool around in the warm-ish waters on sunny days. The beach just seemed too unpredictable – the clouds rolled over any time.

But in the winter, one had to be out of their mind to use the pool. Which is why, when a kid was bored, wacky and wanted to swim, he went to the pool in winter – only to find it frozen rock solid because of the plummeting temperature and the moisture in the air. The same kid was still struck with joy, and he used his mother's ice-skates and had a ball skating. The tradition became popular with other adults and children alike.

Of the many stumbling and joyful couples on the ice-rink-pool today, there was a particular one that stumbled in ever centimeter covered, taking their partner along with them. Then there was one couple who truly belonged to an Italian figure skating academy. There was another who just skated round and round and round and round, not watching their way, but just staring into each other' eyes and smiling, with an occasional Ina Bauer here and there.

The stumbling couple was amongst the loudest people on the rink. It consisted of a medium-height girl with strong red hair that cascaded down her back beautifully, with a black beanie covering her ears and forehead; her skin was a palish complexion, her lips pink with cold, her nose broad and white with a small stud glittering from it. She was well-sculpted, her curves subtle but attractive, and she was dressed in a woolen checked dress that reached her knees and thin woolen tights, with a long beige woolen coat on considering the cold. She was arm in arm with a stunningly cute man, with dark skin and eyes, his black hair slightly poking from under the tan beanie. He was as tall as her, both of them toweringly tall, the difference in their skin tones startling. But they were the couple having the most fun.

The palest couples on the ice floor congregated at the side of the rink, and so did the stunning stumbling couple. They were all laden, through some of them looked a little large and uncomfortable under the many layers. They were all beautiful.

They laughed and laughed about their whole experience there, and headed into the woods, from where they all started running at superhuman speed and halted at the glamorous mansion-like house in the clearing. The girl with the red hair and the orange-cinnamon eyes however was not exactly running like the pale people; though she was frighteningly pale herself. She crouched down, and she had an intense look of concentration on her face – a second later, her skin tone shifted very fast from the pale to a russet, and her skin started spouting fur. A second later, she was a large carroty colored wolf, and beside her stood a larger sandy colored wolf, and they both sprinted off into the jungle – with the carroty on being terrifyingly fast. As soon as they sprinted off, another brown wolf sprinted after them, accompanied by a pretty girl of age 18. She ran fast like the pale people, and was capable of keeping up with the wolves. Her peals of laughter tinted the sky.

The pale people, and the three wolves, entered the house – the carroty one changed back to her beautiful, pale self, without a scratch on her clothes which had reappeared with her skin, but the two other wolves flat out sprinted to the top of the house and changed into clothes which they had previously attached to their legs.

On coming down, everything was calm. Everyone was laughing and talking – Alice was sitting on Jasper's lap, and they were talking to an equally positioned Bella and Edward. Rosalie and Emmett were just giggling and laughing at certain innuendos. Nessie was just sitting aimlessly waiting for Jacob, and she was tall and eighteen now. She was talking animatedly with Lizzie.

Lizzie had changed beyond recognition. This was two years after the Volturi had once arrived for the cause of punishing the Cullens for raising an immortal child – Renesmee – and then gone, unsuccessful. In those two years, Lizzie had transformed. Her long red hair had begun to fringe her butt – it was that long. She had side sweep, eyebrow sweeping bangs now. Her skin had changed from a pleasant peach to a startling pale because of those vampire genes. Her eyes had changed to a more amber-cinnamon – a scary but unique color. She hardly feasted on animals or blood at all. Her diet consisted of human food only. Her teeth were a little sharp, and hardly venomous. But she could change into a werewolf, with carroty fur correlated with her stunning hair color. She would change her skin from pale to russet a split second before transformation. She was, however, frozen to her age, and she could only grow when she would give up her werewolf status. She was terribly fast – as a wolf and as a vampire. She didn't have the fight impulse, much, but she loved to be engaged in some kind of a challenge. She had changed plenty. And progressed as a human too.

And her relationship with Seth was simply amazing – it had evolved like a bud into a flower, and the romance between them was amazing – sincere, little Seth and pretty, witty Lizzie.

Nessie grabbed Jacob and drew him into a long kiss as he came downstairs, and Lizzie watched Seth as he made his way to her, lifted her, and laid her down on his lap and they started to talk. Their relationship was less desperate and forced like Nessie and Jacob's – who were only together because it was meant to be – but rather very up and down, but still a little forced like theirs'.

Everyone just talked on and on about the ice-skating; it wasn't as if there was much conversation to be made.

The evening passed by, and the different couples started to engage themselves in different activities – Jacob and Nessie had moved into one of the upper bedrooms to engage in activities together. Alice, Rosalie, Emmett and Jasper were fooling around with fashion on a program on the computer, and Bella and Edward were playing chess. Edward was winning – but this time on skill, and Bella didn't dare let him into her mind.

Around six in the evening, Esme and Carlisle went to the kitchen and started preparing a meal – the Cullens were supposed to be having a special reunion dinner and they all had to make some really nice food. The treaty had been suppressed for now – today, werewolves and vampires would together meet at the border line and organize a nice dinner, and it was meant to be for the wolves, the Cullens, and some of the humans. Carlisle and Esme had started to prepare some posh roasted meats – they already had the turkey good to roll, and they were now making a nice seafood medley. The lobster was already scenting the room, and the oysters were now in line. Rosalie and Bella too dwindled in to start helping – and soon were joined by Edward, who, with Bella, made a killing chef machine. Bella already had master experience while dealing with food, and resolved into making a nice Mexican corner as well – chicken enchiladas were steaming in the microwave and steak and potatoes were working – the steak had been marinated throughout the day, and the potatoes boiled and buttered.

At seven, everyone from in the house settled down, inhaling the tantalizing scents, though not very irresistible to half the occupants. Seth, Lizzie and Jacob, however, seemed restless and eager to dig into the food. After a little nanosecond of talking, the door flew open gently, and in came in some of the Quileute people – Sam came in with a flushed Emily who was carrying a large pie. Behind them came in a bouncy and unperturbed Leah who was arm in arm with her new boyfriend she had started dating – Ezekiel, who everyone preferred to call Zeke. He was as tall as Leah – with a creamy complexion and blue eyes. He had moved to Forks just eight months previously, and he and Leah had worked together at the same shop down at the rez. Leah just felt weird – she never imprinted, but she started having normal feelings for the hot guy, and then they just started dating like that. Oh…Sue was happy beyond wonder, and Jake and Seth were possibly crying with happiness at the turn her miserable life had taken. Sam was just easy about it – he didn't like the idea of Leah dating as such, because they guy by her hand wasn't exactly him, but he just shut up, because he knew that he had torn her apart in the first place.

Sam and Leah were followed by Quil and Embry and a tiny Clare and Colin and Brady and Jared and Paul and Rachel, all of whom had pent up energy and were here to help transport the food. Sam decided to carry out the large turnkey plus trimmings, which was encased in a cardboard box with a serving lid covering it. The rest of the people divided the food and aligned the responsibilities of carrying different things to each person. Soon enough, all the food was out of the house, and more was to come from Sue, Charlie and Billy. The Cullens and the wolves all ran, with ease, to the border line, near the rez, and they set the tables down – they reconstructed a decent picnic dining table, spread some tablecloth and candles, and set the food down.

Time passed, and soon enough, the table was surrounded by a lot of people, and the food was over the top and a hefty amount – Sue and Charlie had made a lot of stuff, and Billy had taken the trouble to make some dessert with the help of Rachel, who was rather good at cooking. The food looked feisty. There was Sam, Emily, Clare, Embry, Quil, Leah. Zeke, Seth., Lizzie, Sue, Charlie, Billy, Paul, Rachel, Jared, Jessica, Mike and their 3-month old daughter, Izzy; Angela and Ben, Mr. & Mrs. Newton, Mr. & Mrs. Stanley, the Cullens, and Jake.

The food glimmered in the moonlight as the lids were lifted – and then, everyone sat done, and devoured the food.

***

Tummies were full to burst like unopened or overstuffed bonbons at Christmas. Everyone was full, though the Cullens had refused to eat much – they all said they had a slight "thing" in the family, but the Cullens however did eat a little bit. They were capable of it, of course, and they had to excuse themselves after half an hour of eating to throw up the insoluble substances. But no one could deny that this was a wonderful party – a final reconnection with the outside world had cheered Bella up enormously, and in turn, cheered Edward up.

Laughter tinted the air – some of the uninvited residents had resolved to making their way down and joining the party.

It was alright, for everyone except the Cullens. Who had just noticed Alice's back go rigid?

She was having a vision, no escaping it. The Cullens gathered around her, slowly and unsuspicious. Jasper shook her slightly, and Edward, who could read her mind, had a weird look in his face – one where he knew who someone was in a way, but the name and position wasn't coming onto him exactly. But his eyes were still in delirium and wide.

Lizzie's eyes widened too and she used her power of understanding people to read Alice – and she too gasped a little and went rigid with what she saw.

"What is it?" Jasper whispered.

The Cullens hadn't forgotten that vision of the Volturi. What if this was another one?

Alice gasped. "Jasper, she knows you!"

"Who?" Jasper whispered.

"The woman in my vision," Alice said, her eyes gazing into Jasper's with a worried and burning intensity.

"No one knows me Alice – at least not the way you're talking about whoever she is."

"She's coming after you! She wants you!"

Sense…..sense was dawning….

"I know her. We all remember her. Jazz, what's happening? Why does she want you? You have nothing to do with her – we have already told her that she is forbidden from coming near us!!"

Lizzie interjected "She's a vampire…right?"

Alice nodded her eyes wide, at Lizzie. "But she's not a Volturi."

Lizzie calmed down a little – the worry that the Cullens had slightly suppressed was coming back, repeating itself…

Everyone was looking at Alice, and Edward interrupted the silence. "Oh she's had it," he whispered. "That moroness. The only thing she's getting from us is rejection."

"Who is?" Jasper said, with a funny feeling that he knew who she was.

Well then again, there was just one person who would want to buy Japer back – who would want to use him and his charisma and powers to her own advantage. A familiar face. She had to be lonely now – looking for a way to fight back, eager to get some sort of a weapon. And there was one person…one person who was…..

"Maria??" Jasper's voice rose in a sheering agony.

Yes, so Liz has evolved....

And we have Ezekiel introduced!! Yay Zekey!!!
