"Everyone. Could you all come to the living room?" Edward spoke. He knew that Emmett, Jazz and Rose should be home by now.

"Where's Jasper?" Edward asked Emmett.

"He went hunting."

Everyone flickered into the living room. Carlisle stared at Alythorn then stared at Edward.

"Is she?"

"Yes."

Carlisle walked towards Alythorn. He held his hand out as an introduction but Alythorn just sniffed. He dropped it to his side.

"So you must be the Alythorn that Edward talks about."

"Why does he keep talking about me?" Alythorn thought.

Edward gulped in embarrassment. "Yes, Carlisle."

"We've heard quite a few things about you. Where do you come from?"

Alythorn stood there for a minute. Enough time for Esme to walk closer to Carlisle.

"I'm from the South. New Orleans. I came here because I hated the sun. I hate that I shine in it."

"What brought you here?" Edward asked.

"I had a friend who knew the Denali clan. She was told that another coven like them lived in Forks. She tried their way of feeding but couldn't control her thirst, so she left. But that was a long time ago. She's gone now." Alythorn bowed her head staring at the floor.

"So I decided to come check you guys out but then I saw that it was eerie here. So now I'm staying here. Well actually in this run down apartment in Seattle. I use this creepy guy's house address. He's very fond of me." She gave a smirk.

"I'm sorry, we didn't introduce ourselves," Carlisle said. "This is Esme, Emmett, Rosalie, and I'm sure you know Edward and Alice by now. And I'm Carlisle."

"Carlisle?"

"Yes, is there a problem?"

"No. It's just that I've heard of you before. Do you know the Volutri? Personally, I mean."

"Um, yes. I once stayed with them. Centuries ago."

She laughed slightly. "There's something huh? I once meet them. That was also ages ago. Before the incident." She again bowed her head.

There was a noise coming from outside. It was getting closer and closer. Alythorn backed away from Edward.

"You said,"

"It's only Jasper."

She gasped. "Jasper?"

Jasper glided into the room next to Alice. He kissed her on the cheek and she smiled.

"Where did you go?"

"I went with Edward. We have a guest."

"Oh, I am sorry. I am Jasper. Pleasure to meet you."

Alythorn growled. She then lunged to Jasper.

"No!" Edward cried.
