Sorry!!!!!! I know it's been forever, but I just haven't really been in the mood to write much...of anything. Not even my own story (not fanfic, but actual story). Well, at least I'm writing now, rather than ignoring this. Plus I've gotten a better feel for the Twilight characters, so it'll make this soooooooooo much easier on me. Just to clear something up: The cloaked person from last chapter was a vampire. I'm not going to tell you which vampire until it's supposed to be revealed, but I do still like guesses.

Hmm...how can a vampire's face turn pale? I mean, when it happens to humans, it's because the blood drains from our faces, but vampires don't have any blood anymore, do they? Meh. I have now decided that some chapters will have two POVs in them...sometimes I get bored of a person, and that makes their chapter really short, so when that happens, I'll put another POV in. And I also decided that I shall give the Twilight characters their own POVs as well. But only one or two, just like there will only be one or two GoT POVs. Oh, and just a heads up, when I say "the Named", I'm referring to Isabel, Arkarian, Ethan, Rochelle, Matt, Neriah, and Dillon. Yes, I put Dillon in there, but only because it's easiest, and I don't include any of the physically older members (Jimmy, Shaun, and Carter) because, no offense to them or people who like them, but they suck.

Disclaimer (forgot to put this last chapter): I don't own either Twilight or GoT...but I talked to Marianne Curley and Stephanie Meyer last night, and they said they'd give me the rights to both their series as a Christmas present...but then my alarm clock went off.

Chapter Two

Isabel

"What just happened here?" Esme asks.

Alice looks at her, then looks back at me. "Why did you suddenly collapse?"

Behind her, I see Edward whispering something to Bella, whose face then turns paler than it already is. She takes a breath to steady herself before passing it on to Jasper.

"Well?" Rosalie asks when I don't answer.

"Um...I don't know."

Alice rolls her eyes. "You're an even worse liar than Bella," she says.

"Hey!" Bella exclaims. "I resent that comment!"

Alice considers it for a moment. "Yeah, you're right, Bella," she says. "That was wrong of me to say. I'm sorry. Nobody can be a worse liar than you."

Bella laughs. "Thanks Alice, cuz you know that's soooo much better."

"Oh, would you two just shut up and focus here?" Rosalie snaps. Alice and Bella shut up. Rosalie turns back to me. "Why did you collapse?"

Crap, I think. "Um, I don't know if I'm the right person to say anything..." I say while simultaneously yelling for Arkarian in my mind. About a second later, I hear footsteps coming towards me. I turn, and my brother walks up. "Matt, what are you doing here?" I ask.

Matt looks at me, then looks at the group in front of us. His eyes slide over all the people, and I can tell he's listening to their thoughts. When his eyes get to Edward, he blinks. Edward does the same. The two of them hold eye contact for quite a while, and it doesn't even look like Edward's breathing. I look between them both, getting more and more confused.

What the freaking hell is going on here?! I yell in my thoughts. Both Matt and Edward turn to look at me, which just adds to my confusion.

"Maybe you should share some of this conversation with your sister," Edward says to Matt. "She's really confused."

"I know," Matt says.

"Well, if I wasn't confused before," I say, "I definitely am now!"

Matt sighs. "Isabel, remember when you were little, and you were terrified that the monsters from movies you watched would come for you?"

I blush at this. "Yes."

"Do you remember what monster scared you the most?"

"How could I forget?"

"Well...how would you feel about coming face to face with a group of those?"

I blink. I think I know what he's getting at, but still, I have to ask... "What are you talking about?"

Matt sighs again. I notice just how still everyone else is being. "Isabel, take a good look at your first glimpse of vampires."

With that statement, I black out.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

I wake up in a familiar room, and see Arkarian leaning over me. I squeeze my eyes shut, hoping that everything that just happened was a dream. Unfortunately, as I find out when I sit up, I'm not quite that lucky.

All the Named are sitting on stools around the room, and so are the people I just met. I'm determined not to think the word "vampire". Crap. I just did.

"Oh, good, you're awake," Arkarian says, and I sit up.

"What's going on?" I whisper. "Why are they in here?"

"We've explained everything to them, and they have, in turn, explained themselves to us," Arkarian whispers back. "I'll fill you in a little later, but we have more pressing matters to attend to." His attention then turns to the rest of the room, and Edward speaks.

"The girl in the vision both Alice and Isabel had is very special to us all," he says, and Bella looks at him with a frantic look in her eyes.

"Are you saying they saw Renesmee?" she asks.

"To be more specific," Alice replies, "I only saw a white spot on the carpet as well as a bigger white spot on the couch."

"But Isabel saw the whole thing," Edward continues.

"Who's this 'Renesmee'?" Matt asks, looking at Bella.

"She's mine and Edward's daughter," she says. "I had her while I was human, so she's half human and half vampire. She is, as Edward said, very special to us all, and if anything happens to her, I can't even begin to think how that would affect the rest of us."

"Any one of us would put ourselves in the path of danger to save Nessie," Jasper says, and I don't doubt it from the way his eyes glint.

"Wait, I thought her name was Renesmee," Rochelle says, confused.

Bella laughs. "Yes, well, as you can imagine, the name is a bit of a mouthful, and my friend Jacob decided to shorten it. Of course, I hated the name at first, but I think I've taken a liking to it."

"Anyway, back on topic," Edward says.

"Yeah," Matt agrees. I roll my eyes. The two have barely known each other for very long, and they're already thinking on the same page. This gets me a slight glare from them both, which still confuses me.

Edward sighs, then looks at Arkarian and nods, leaving me just as confused as before.

"I'll tell you what you're missing once everyone leaves," Arkarian whispers again.

"Okay, I'm sick of everyone invading my mind!" I exclaim. "Can't you all just butt out?" Just for good measure, I block my thoughts.

"Again, back on topic," Matt says. "What are we going to do about this?"

"Would this be a good time to mention that I saw the sphere spinning earlier?" Ethan asks. We all look at him.

"What were you doing in my chambers when I'm not here?" Arkarian asks. Ethan looks around.

"Uh...nothing," he says. Rochelle snorts.

"Oh, come on, Ethan," she says. "There's no point in lying about something if you're not going to block your thoughts when you do it."

Arkarian raises an eyebrow. "Really, Ethan? Couldn't you have done that at yours and Rochelle's place?"

Ethan blushes. "Well...I like the scenery in here better."

"What, all white?" I ask.

"I was looking for a different room," he mumbles. "There are way too many doors in this place."

"Ignoring all this, how fast was the sphere spinning?" Arkarian asks.

"Not very fast, actually. It looked like it's going to stop soon."

"Is this a bad thing?" Carlisle asks.

"Yes and no," Matt replies. "It just means that the Order is going to try to screw up the past somehow, and that we have to go stop them. Again."

"Do you need help?" Esme asks.

"Do we get to help you fight?" Emmett asks eagerly. I decide right then that I like him.

"No, you can't come," Neriah answers. "It's something only members of the Guard can do."

Emmett's face falls slightly.

"I'm going to quickly check on the sphere," Arkarian says, shooting a look at Ethan. Rochelle laughs at something and whispers it in Ethan's ear. He blushes again and slides further into the seat he's in, obviously trying to blend in with the chair.

There's silence for a while, before Dillon speaks for the first time tonight. "So...how 'bout them Yankees?"

"The Red Sox ate them," Ethan replies.

I shake my head. "Really bad joke, Ethan," I say.

He shrugs. "Meh. I liked it."

We all sit in silence some more, until Arkarian comes back into the room. "The sphere stopped spinning," he announces, "but I don't recognize the time or what the Order could want from there."

"Why don't we all go have a look," I suggest.

Arkarian raises an eyebrow. "All?"

"Why not? Maybe one of them can recognize what's going on."

He sighs, and motions for the entire group to follow him.

We walk into the sphere room, and everyone crowds around. "I give up," I say after a while. "I have absolutely no idea when that is." The rest of the Named agree with me. The vampires keep looking at it.

"Wait a minute..." Bella starts. "That looks like my mom's house in Phoenix."

Everybody looks at her, and she stares more intently at the scene in the sphere. "Yeah, I think I see Mom in one of the windows."

Arkarian touches part of the sphere, and it magnifies the image, showing a better picture of inside one of the windows. Bella gasps, turning her eyes from the sphere to Arkarian.

"What does it mean?" she asks.

"It means the Order knows you guys are here," he replies.

Yay me! I like cliffies! Who can guess the not-so-subtle "other book" reference? Cookie for anyone who gets what part I'm referencing. Hint: it's from a book series that I've written a couple stories for, but has never been combined with anything else...yet...Tell me the name of the series and (if you can) what part I'm talking about, and I'll give you a virtual cookie of your choice (real or made-up) and acknowledge you next chapter. Review, my minions! Review with all your might! Or else I'll sic my llamas on you and force them to spit on you with their Acid Spit of Doom (TM)!!!!

Am I the only one who's noticing similarities between the relationships of Isabel/Arkarian and Edward/Bella? If you think about it, both the guys in those relationships are really old while they still look youngish (although, granted, Arkarian is much older than Edward); both girls start off aging like normal but end up having that stopped to be with their guy; both couples love each other veeeeeeeeeery much...I'd put something about protective in here, but Edward's really the only one who constantly shows how protective he is. Isabel's got her brother to be overprotective of her.
