Edward POV-

I watched as the group of new people walked to the booth across the room from us. I clung to Bella because I immediately knew what they were: Vampires. Their thoughts ran through my head, listening to their opinions and feelings about us. There were five of them, four out of five were vampires. The last one was something I have never heard of. Her friends were calling her a witch, talking about her magic and how she was losing it by the minute. This worried me, and I pulled Bella towards me.

She looked at my, confused as to why I was acting so protective all of a sudden. In the lowest voice possible I said, "They are vampires." She sharply inhaled and began to shake. "Don't worry. They aren't newborns. Look at their eyes." But when I did, they didn't have the golden color that the rest of us did. They had human eye colors: Brown, blue, and hazel.

I began to listen to their thoughts to see what they were doing here, but something made me stop. Her blood sings to me. Maybe if I compel the others to ignore me, I could try some the girl closest to the window thought. I let out a slight growl, and her eyes moved from Bella's to mine. Her eyes were a dark brown, the same color as her hair. Everyone at the table refereed to her as Elena. She had tan skin like a human, and I could hear her heart beating. If she was a vampire, how did she have a heart.

I ignored the thought and decided to let it go. I looked at the girl next to her, the witch. Her name was Bonnie, and her thoughts were pretty quiet. She had dark skin and dark curly hair. Her eyes were also brown, but lighter than Elena's. She was the only one eating, which proved she wasn't a vampire.

The next girl was a little different, and her thoughts were the loudest out of the three girls. Her hair was bright blonde, and her eyes (a lot like Elena's) were a dark brown. Her skin was paler than Elena's but not as pale as mine. She looked like the cheerleader type: athletic, popular, prom queen. Again, her thoughts were the loudest: I wonder when we can go back to Mystic Falls. This place sucks. Mystic Falls... was that a town? I guess it didn't matter. I listened to try and figure out her name, but I didn't have to listen to their thoughts to know, because the man sitting across from her spoke first.

"Any news from Matt, Caroline?" he asked. Matt? Was he another vampire? Was he coming here like the others? I was about to tell Bella, when I got a text from Alice. Matt Donovan is a human friend of theirs. That calmed me down a bit, but I still didn't like the thought of mysterious vampires around Bella. We came here to escape, not captured.

"We should go over there. Like you guys did for us." Bella suggested. I didn't even know what the conversation was about in the first place, but I hoped the newcomers didn't overhear it.

"Why not!" Betty replied as she hopped from her stool at the end of the table. I really didn't want to go anywhere near the people, especially since they are a different kind of Vampire.

Everyone shook their head in agreement as we rose from our corner booth. I put my arm around Bella's waist, pulling her towards me in a casual manner. I also let the others get to the table first so I could hide her from them. As we neared the table, I heard Bella say in a voice only I could hear, "Edward, what's going on?" She knew when I was worried. I become very clingy to Bella when her safety is at risk. If anything were to happen to her...

"Vampires." I whispered back. I knew they could hear me because their eyes all looked up at me. "Not my kind." I continued, making sure they knew I was dangerous as well. Their eyes quickly looked back to the rest of the group and started to chat.

They introduced each other, and I got all the names I didn't have: Caroline Forbes, Bonnie Bennett, Elena Gilbert, Stefan Salvatore, Damon Salvatore, and Lorenzo (Enzo) St. John. I hoped Bella would make the choice to stay smart, but her kindness took over her, and caused her to push in front of me. She told them her name, where she was from, and that she was my fiancee.

Veronica told them where we were staying and offered the last two rooms and living room to them. Does she invite everyone she meets to stay at her house? I thought. I didn't feel safe having these new vampires near my Bella, especially since she already has one coming after her.

I guess I'll just have to watch out because they happily agreed, and we all made our way back to the Pembrooke.

Stefan POV-

Veronica's house reminded me of the Salvatore Boarding house. It was styled as if it was made in the 1800's, and had enough rooms to house an entire village. The only difference was that our house was actually made in the 1800's.

"Okay. So we have two bedrooms and the living room. You guys can decide where you wanna sleep." Veronica explained. I knew Damon and Elena were gonna want a room.

I slide my arm around Caroline's waist and pulled her close to me. "We'll take a bedroom." I told her. Caroline looked up at me and smiled, her eyes staring deep into mine.

"Now don't get to crazy, little brother." Damon chuckled.

"Come on Damon, don't me such a hypocrite." Caroline shot back. She was right. Damon and Elena got crazy the night before we left Mystic Falls, and I never want to repeat that traumatizing experience. That was the first night that I wished I had died instead of becoming a vampire.

Elena glared and me, but her frown turned into a slight smile. She found it funny, but held back her laughter for Damon's sake.

I had completely forgotten about everyone else, because by the time the conversation was over, they were all in their rooms. I carried Caroline upstairs and found an open room right next to the stairs. When we walked in, it was as if Caroline had already redecorated it. The bed was a King with a dark brown headboard. It had a long, silk curtain that hung from the ceiling and draped over the bed onto the floor. She bedspread was a white and gold ruffled blanket with swirling designs and matching pillows on it. The dressers matched the headboard and the curtains matched the comforter as well.

"It's perfect." I heard Caroline whisper. "It looks like the inside of the Lockwood house." The Lockwood house was the nicest house in Mystic Falls besides the Salvatore Boarding house.

I was about to speak when a knock on the front door made me stand up straight. It wasn't the knock, it was the smell. It reeked of wolf, which meant there was a werewolf nearby. Caroline must've smelled it too, along with my brother and Elena, because we were all down stairs and accompanied by Edward and Bella.
