Authors Note: As stated before, in order to keep my stories as 'Stephenie Meyer-ish' as possible I am using her information for the Denali's. This is taken directly from the Twilight Lexicon so I do not claim it at all!

"The Denali coven keeps getting cut out of the story. For the record, they are Tanya, Kate (Katrina) and Irina–originally Slavic, and they think of themselves as sisters, though they are not biologically so. They are all almost a thousand years old. It was just the three of them for many centuries, and then Carmen and Eleazar joined them, attracted by their peaceful lifestyle. Tanya, Kate, and Irina had an interesting path that led them to "vegetarianism": they are the originals behind the myths of the succubus. Their fondness for human men eventually led them to feel remorse for their victims, and they slowly trained themselves to resist human blood. They still like men, though. Kate and Eleazar are "talented" like Edward and Alice, but I'm not saying more than that. (Tanya gets a brief cameo in my Twilight-from-Edward's-perspective). Eleazar is a man. He and Carmen (his true love) are both Spanish, only three to four hundred years old, and they joined the succubus sisters later on. Eleazar has quite a history, which, right now, only shows up in Forever Dawn."

Therefore, this is the information that I know and so these characters and parts of their history and such are Stephenie Meyer's and not mine. Websites I recommend for information are www . stepheniemeyer . com and www . twilightlexicon . com which are both amazing! Note: Octavia is mine; I lay claim to her :-P hehe!

Succubus - a female demon believed to have sexual intercourse with sleeping men

Ok the above was from the page before as many of you may have noticed. It simply applied here as well so I reposted it. Thanks again for all the review and now… on with the show!!!

P.S. Happy Birthday Edward!!! (June 20th is his birthday ;) )

Succubus Sisters

I turned quickly at a flash of white coming from the forest next to the house. My eyes widened in surprise. At first, I thought it was Victoria, but then I noticed that the hair was a darker shade of red. It was cut about shoulder length and it was very curly.

"Irina," Edward whispered to me, "The rest will be soon to follow; she's always first."

"Cullens!" she said, appearing in front of us with a flash of white. I couldn't help but notice that her skin was… different. It reminded me of the Volturi in the way that it seemed fragile, but it was more powdery looking, rather than papery. Irina held her head up, smiling. She sniffed the air delicately and her eyes flew down to me.

"Ah… Edward's human, I presume?"

Edward nodded, putting a protective arm around me. I shivered slightly, though not because of the coldness of his arm. Irina merely smiled at me, her teeth flashing.

"Fear not, my sisters and I prefer men…" she said, laughing hauntingly. "Although you do smell appetizing…"

"Oh don't frighten the poor girl!"

I whipped my head around to see the newcomer. This vampire was taller and skinnier than Irina was, but with the same powdery skin. Her hair was straight and golden blonde, clashing attractively with her golden eyes. She smiled kindly at me, extending a hand.

"I'm Katrina, but please call me Kate." She said with a smile.

I took her hand, shocked to find that her skin even felt powdery. I glanced at my hand to see if anything had come off.

Kate had turned back to Irina, frowning. "Irina, seriously, you just met her!

Irina shrugged, "I couldn't resist, dear sister. Do not worry, dear, we have not had a human for lunch in ages. No doubt the temptations are there though…"

She flashed a wicked grin and winked at Edward, who stiffened up slightly.

"But we won't feed on your men here don't worry," she said, although it seemed to be directed at Edward more than me.

"Kate?" I heard Alice call.

"Ally, it's been too long!" Kate said, running over to her.

"Kate's always been like an aunt to Alice, they have a lot in common," Edward said.

Irina had left to make her rounds as well. Everyone seemed so happy that it only felt natural to feel the happiness as well.

"Men?" I asked, confused.

Carmen walked over to us, smiling at the arrival of the Kate and Irina.

"Have you heard the legend of the succubus?"

I shook my head; although I had read the word in my books, I didn't know exactly what it meant.

"A succubus is a female demon," Eleazar said, intertwining his arm around Carmen. "Legend has it, that these demons take the form of seducing men into having…er… sexual intercourse in order to sustain life… The sisters are responsible for that legend. Along with the legend of the siren as well, although I must say Kate started that one."

"How old are they?" I asked, surprisingly awed.

"Literally? Roughly a thousand years old, give or take," Carmen answered.

As the two of them strolled off for a tour of the mansion, I sat and pondered on the information I had just received. Something was bothering me about the sisters, though I couldn't put my finger on it.

Edward frowned, "Where's Tanya?"

"She's… hunting," Kate said with a quick glance at Irina. Irina nodded vigorously.

Edward frowned and appeared to be reading their thoughts. He frowned; I figured that they must have been evading him by thinking of other things, as Alice told me she often did.

"Bella… excuse me for just a moment…," he said, rushing over to interrogate a guilty looking Kate.

I looked over at him, confused, but another visitor immediately interrupted me.

"You must be Bella?"

I turned in relief to look at the newest sister. Immediately, I felt that I knew her. She had a more motherly look then the other two, clearly the oldest biologically. Her hair was dark brown and wavy. She reminded me a lot of Esme. It was also nice to not be referred to as 'the human'.

"Yes, I am," I said, happy to be acknowledged by my name.

She nodded understandably, "My sisters had their doubts about you and your love for Edward, but I see now that he made a good choice."

I flushed with pleasure, happy that at least someone thought that Edward wasn't out of his mind.

"I'm Tanya," she continued, "You're met my sisters of course and our family… well… most of them."

I looked around confused. Edward had only said that there were five, not six. Edward was walking back to me as this was being spoken.

"Who's coming?" he asked, clearly angry that he hadn't been able to get any information out of the other two sisters.

Tanya waved a hand towards the forest. A few moments passed and a young woman flew into view. She was beautiful, even more so than Rosalie. Her hair was shoulder-length, light brown with streaks of gold in it. I looked over at Edward, who was looking paler than normal.

"Octavia?" he asked, his voice filled with wonder.

He took a few steps forward. I moved to follow him only to find that the girl was already there.

"Edward!" she shrieked, her voice silken honey.

The two embraced each other eagerly and I felt my heart stop beating.
