CPOV (Carlisle)
My family and I sat in the living room discussing the new arrivals to Forks. Amazing, I have never encountered individuals such as them. I couldn't wait to see them with my own two eyes. I'm sure there is a lot more about them than they have already explained to the children.
Esme and I sat on the loveseat facing the door while Alice and Jasper sat to our left on the couch. The chair between us was empty. To our right sat Rosalie and Emmett and Edward was pacing by the door finishing off our circle. Our heads snapped up and we silenced as we heard them pull up the drive.
Edward immediately came to sit beside me in the chair to my left while Emmett ran to the door waiting for them and at the look of contempt Rosalie wore Alice and Jasper walked across and sat beside her, Alice in the middle.
As they walked through the door my first observations were sight and scent based. Four of them were clearly not human to our advanced eyesight. They had no imperfections. Their skin was flawless as was their hair. They had silver eyes and didn't share the same traits that would define them as vampires. There were no shadows under their eyes, no pale complexions. In fact they looked as though they never lost sleep. Each of their scents was as a vampire's but sweeter. It was like smelling your favorite desert and instantly feeling satisfied, never stopping at the hunger stage.
The human that was with them strangely didn't induce a burning in my throat. Come to think of it, her scent was almost identical to the one holding her. As if her scent vanished and was replaced. She was the only one with pale skin, almost to the exact shade as us.
Already this group astounded me.
We introduced ourselves, O'Neil and me first out of our respective covens. He was acting as the patriarch as I was but Femi was clearly the leader. It was clear she didn't like the responsibility and didn't want to explain herself. Her twin took charge and veered all conversation. Thus their stories unfolded.

We all sat down in the living room. I sat myself in between Giovan and Femi, knowing I would have to rein her in during our discussion. Marishka was on the floor between my sister's legs and O'Neil stood behind me. The Cullens sat paired up as mates. Edward the only one without sat in an arm chair to the right of our couch, choosing to sit at the opposite end of Femi, not having to look at her. She really did a number on him and I knew she was just getting started.
I started our life story as if telling a myth, our lives being of the same origins.
"Femi and I are the twin daughters of day and night." I began.
"You mean the skies were getting it on, how?" Emmett asked from his position behind Rosalie.
"No, I mean Apollo and Nyx. You do know about Greek mythology don't you?" I hope this oaf was going to let me finish.
"Uh, sure but I didn't know they were real."
"I swear vampires think they're the only ones that exist when really they're the stupidest supernatural beings out there." Femi said with a roll of her eyes and smirk forming on her lips.
"Perhaps we should let Isis continue." Carlisle interjected.
"Thank you, we were raised by our aunt Artemis. From her we learned how to hunt, although our prey served different purposes. From the beginning we lived off of flesh and blood. We were the first to drink the elixir of life, there were no vampires. We were and always would be the first of our kind. The strongest of the three."
At this they looked at me perplexed. Of course they would, our existence was a secret one even to our children.
"Femi and I are La Primera," a name Femi decided recently was more appealing than the Ancients. "As we came of age, back then a mere sixteen, we came to be friends with Madness and Balance."
"You mean Lyssa and Nemesis?" Rosalie asked.
"You would know the Greek beauties wouldn't you?" Femi once again chimed in. "They were our best friends and you couldn't find one without the other three for years on end."
I had to tap Femi on the leg at this point, if she didn't stop now she would go on to tell them about all the escapades those three were involved in. A strange couple were Lyssa and Nemesis.
"By the time we all turned twenty one, we made the true vampire, Dracula. He was our companion and soon became lovers with Femi, very soon."
At this I heard a chuckle from Emmett, "Exactly how did you make a vampire?"
At this I told them of our natures. We were twin goddesses but with different abilities. Femi was in control of the weather and fire along with being of love and freedom. I was her opposite being of simplicity and magic. I could manipulate water and people, after all I was also motherhood and mothers controlled their kids.
"The four of us used our gifts, my magic and fertility and Lyssa's madness and rabies were the foundation. Femi gave her freedom from death and to balance it out, Nemesis only allowed him to go out at night and to be hurt by many things."
"So by fertility you mean you gave birth to him? I thought the dead couldn't have children." This time Rose asked with hope in her eyes.
"We aren't dead, never have been. I'm the newest and I didn't die to become like them, I simply stopped ageing at thirty." O'Neil stated.
"To continue, he inherited our taste for blood but not flesh. This was the first of the true vampires, Dracula. Lyssa's rabies is what allowed him to turn others."
"Wait wait wait, you said he got your taste for blood but not flesh, are you saying you drank and ate humans?"
"I thought vampires were smart when I first heard of them but you Emmett are slow," Giovan said. "By flesh she meant animals, you know pork, chicken, beef. Well now that I think of it Femi did like to eat the females."
"Ha Ha I get it, she liked to eat their box, ha oh man that was priceless, it was so good I'm gonna forgive the remark about me being slow." Emmett could barely make out through his laughs.
"That explains the…true vampires as you say but we could hardly count as that. What happened to make us come to existence?" Carlisle asked to keep the conversation on track.
"Well after an incident involving Dracula, we decided to make the day walkers, you." I had to grab Femi's wrist this time, that part of her past wasn't easy and I wasn't going to share it with people we hardly knew. "As you know I protect the dead so not wanting a repeat of Dracula's death, we made it so you could go into the sun and become almost impenetrable, fire being the only way to kill you."
"Dracula isn't around anymore?" Jasper asked
"Oh for the love of Zeus! Will you just shut up and let her finish?" This was a VERY touchy subject for her.
"As you know you can't keep live pets." I gestured with my hand at Marishka. "Once you bite they either change or die. You also inherited Lyssa's rage and frenzy, making it damn near impossible to stop once you smell blood. Femi gave you her love which allows you to mate and Nemesis her revenge to kill those that would harm them."
"It is my love for you all and my sister's job to protect all things dead that allows you to exist. After I killed Dracula, we promised not to interfere again. This is why none but the oldest know we live through time in the shadows. It just so happens that we are the oldest, your Volturi not even coming within a millennium and they will go on in their ignorance. We may hold ourselves back from killing you but like I said we don't interfere so if something else was to happen then the same applies." Femi rushed through.
I could tell she was getting aggravated and it was now time to go before anything else happened tonight. A yawn from Marishka was all it took.
"Well I know that you don't sleep, which I am to understand is a gift from Femi's devious mind, but we do and more importantly Marishka needs to. It was a pleasure meeting all of you but I think we will be taking our leave." O'Neil stepped into his father role perfectly.
"Thank you for taking the time to come out and explain yourselves, we know that you didn't have to. Maybe we could continue our discussion when we have more time. I feel it is only right that we give you some of our history as well." Carlisle said.
"Sure come on over on Friday, I'm planning a slumber party anyways. Oh and make sure to bring Edward, I have a special treat for him." Femi just couldn't leave without starting trouble.
"I know you don't kill your meals but I must ask that you travel outside of Forks. We have a treaty with the local wolves here and it would be quite troublesome if something were to happen." Carlisle ever the peace maker.
"Oh I know all about the wolves around here. They haven't changed yet but I know they're about to, give it a few months. In fact I promise in three months there will be a full pack." Femi was always up to no good.
"Thank you for that information but I assume you're going to do something to help it along?"
"Of course, what fun would it be if I only had vampires to play with? Don't worry your blonde little head about it Carlisle I promise there won't be trouble, well maybe just a little." Femi giggled out to the car.
"I feel I must apologize for my twin, she's a free spirit and needs to be entertained at all time. I can't promise anything on her behalf but I will try to make sure nothing to grave comes of it."
hope you liked it pease review.
