A/N ok...this is the real chapter five...sorry for the mixup guys.....i confused myself with the way i saved the chapters.

Alice POV

"Presciliana, my family and I, well, some of us, are only vampires. We have been changed by Carlisle. Each one of us was dying when Carlisle found us. He bit us and the venom from his bite spread through our bodies, changing us into vampires. Now, we have super speed, strength, sparkle like diamonds in the sun, are immortal, never sleep, don't eat, and drink only animal blood. I can see the future, Edward can read minds, and Jasper can control emotions," I said, thinking it best to put it as bluntly as I could.

"Oh…ok, so you're a different kind of vampire. Just peachy," said Presciliana. I couldn't read this girl, which was strange, and her future kept changing. I also looked into Kara's future, but it was always gone, because I knew we would be going after her with Jacob's help, so no future in sight to help us.

"What about you guys? What's with the wings?" Presciliana asked Max.

"Well, the flock and I, that's what we call ourselves, were "hatched" in a lab we call The School. They genetically engineered our DNA, making us ninety-eight percent human and two percent avian. We escaped from The School and met up with the Cullen's over there, but when Iggy got attacked, Wendy changed him into a vampire. Then Fang got attacked and Rose had to change him, making him a vampire as well.

"The School, being the loser they are, "programmed" and expiration date into us, so when I turned 21 my expiration date showed up and Fang, fearing for my life, bit me, changing me into a vampire. That's pretty much what happened with Angel and Gazzy as well, but something happened when Gazzy was changed," said Max.

"I'll say," said Gazzy. "When Iggy bit me, I didn't…change right. Now I can't go into the sunlight, because it hurts my eyes, and I can control fire. I have fangs and have to drink blood very often. Max and everyone else in the flock don't have to drink blood, and they can sleep and eat regular human food," said Gazzy. I saw Presciliana's head pop up at Gazzy's description.

"Wait, Gazzy, you sound like me. Ok, I guess it's time for my story. I grew up in a place called 's, a secure school where Moroi and dhampirs can go to be safe from Strigoi. Now, I see the confused looks on your faces, so I'll try my best to explain the different "breeds" of vampires. Dhampirs are half human/half vampires. They have acute senses and can see better in the dark. They are stronger than humans and Morroi and are trained to be Guardians. Guardians protect Moroi, full vampires that hate the sunlight, drink blood, and can control one element very well. Strigoi are Moroi, dhampirs, or humans that have chosen to drink the blood of a human, draining them dry and killing them. Moroi, dhampirs, and humans can also be forced to turn into Strigoi if a Strigoi drinks their blood then force feeds them their own blood. Did that make sense?" asked Presciliana when she was finished.

We all nodded our heads yes. "So Presciliana, can you show us how you control fire?" asked Gazzy.

"Sure," said Presciliana, and she walked over to the fireplace, drawing out a stream of fire, weaving it into a pattern on her clothing, then sending it out to Iggy, making it dance about his head, but not ever letting it touch him.

"That is awesome!" exclaimed Emmett.

Presciliana smiled and sent the fire back into the larger flame. "Carlisle, I don't know exactly who, but I know what took Kara. She was kidnapped by Strigoi."

Carlisle POV

"How do you know that?" I asked her. I have never met a more remarkable young lady. She was small, yes, but she was grown in ways I have never seen in one as young as her.

"Kara is a Guardian. She is strong and trained to fight. She is so much stronger than humans and Moroi that the only thing on this planet that would be able to take her from me, her charge, is a Strigoi," said Presciliana.

"Well, if that's the case, how do we kill a Strigoi?" asked Jasper.

"The best way is to stake them, with a special stake infused with the magic of all four elements. Kara had one, but I don't know what happened to it. She gave me one too, and I kept it with my things. It's probably still in the hotel, with my clothes and such," said Presciliana.

"Ok, well, while Alice and Max go to get your things, how else can you kill a Strigoi?" I asked as Max and Alice zoomed out of the house, off to gather Presciliana's things.

"Um, well, they can be killed by burning. If you can light them up, do it. They can also be killed by beheading. Sound fun?" asked Presciliana.

"Well, that doesn't sound so far from what we deal with. Is there anything special about them that we should be concerned with?" asked Iggy.

"Well, most of them have been dead for a long time, so they're the strongest ones, kill them first. And they have super compulsion. Compulsion is when a vampire tells, compels, someone to do something. They can make someone do anything from think they're flying to think they're being burned, and everything in between, meaning they can force you to do something and you have no choice but to do it. Also, Moroi and Strigoi venom is like a drug, it will make you stupid, for lack of a better word, for a little while, so be on guard, and whatever you do, don't let them force feed you blood. Do whatever you can to avoid eye contact, compulsion works best with direct eye contact," said Presciliana, frantic towards the end of her speech.

"I don't think that's something we have to worry about," said Fang, as cocky now as when he first was changed.

"You don't understand. Strigoi are very dangerous, and they can still change you, turn you into Strigoi, even though you are still vampires. That's what makes them so dangerous, they are the world's best predators," said Presciliana, serious.

Bella and Edward chuckled. "That's what you said to me, Edward, that day in the meadow," giggled Bella.

"I remember," said Edward.

"Ok, we're back, and we think we know who took Kara," said Alice.

"Really? Who?" asked Presciliana.

"Does the name Isaiah ring any bells?" asked Max.

"Yes. I know him. He was like my cousin. When Kara and I escaped from St. Vlad's we went and stayed with him. Why?" asked Presciliana.

"Because, he's Strigoi. He's the one who took Kara," said Max. So much for putting it to her gently.

Thank you for being patient with me!
