Los Angeles- Hyperion Hotel

"Faith?" I called as I walked into the Hyperion a few hours later.

"God damn, that is not my lil sister." Faith called as she came running down a hall on the second story. She ran to the banister and summersaulted down to the first floor. "Damn baby girl you look good." She said as she stopped in front of me and gave me a hug.

I held onto my sister tightly. I'd missed her so much these past few months. "Jeez Faith you look awesome."

"Hey what about me?" Robin's voice sounded with mock hurt, as he came down the stairs.

I pulled away from my sister and smiled at the man with the mocha skin tone, before rushing towards him and leaping into his arms. "Robin!"

"Ummm…B…so which one of these dead guys is yours?" I heard Faith call out from behind me.

I laughed as I jumped down from Robins' arms and headed over towards my traveling companions, who stood deathly still in front of the entrance of the hotel. "None of them actually. Edward went off in another direction hoping to buy us sometime and throw the tracker off our sent. Anyways, Faith, Robin, this is some of his family. This is Alice his sister and Jasper and Emmett, his brothers. Guys this is my sister Faith and her boyfriend Robin." I said introducing everyone.

"Well what the bloody 'ell am I pet? Chop liver?" I heard a playfully angry cockney voice sound from the garden.

"Spike? Holy hell, I've missed you!" I said with a smile as we met in the middle of the lobby. "How are you?"

"Eh, still dead, you know how it is, luv." He gave me a hug and with his arms still around my waist turned me so we were both facing the others. "So these are the "other vamps" huh?"

I playfully slapped him on his leather duster. "Stop it. Their just…different…not sure how that works but, whatever." I said shrugging as I made my way back towards the group.

I noticed Emmett staring intently at Spike. "Em?"

Emmett shook his head as though to clear it and looked down at me. "Sorry Bells, just…new…" He finished by way of answer.

I nodded my head. I understood now. He was just wondering about the differences between the two species of vampire.

"I can already tell you pet, the Watcher is gonna have a field day with your friends." He said as he walked behind the counter and reached into the mini fridge.

"Spike, don't!" I yelled as I realized what he was about to do. I looked towards Alice. "I should have asked you to look for this. I forgot to tell you guys. Spike and Angel, the other resident vamp, their eating habits are a bit…different from yours…"

"I was wondering about their eyes." Jasper said, speaking for the first time since we arrived.

"Oh um…yeah…their eyes only change when they go into demon/vamp mode like I told ya…otherwise they stay their true human eye color. Actually what I meant was while other vamps like them feed off of humans, Spike and Angel have souls, which is a story for another time, but anyways, they drink animal blood too…only it's not fresh, like you guys. They don't hunt. They get their blood from a butcher." I explained. "Will the scent still bother you guys?" I asked looking towards them but mostly thinking about Jasper's reaction as he was the newest to this lifestyle.

I noticed Alice's eyes glaze over from a vision and didn't miss the look my sister gave Spike and Robin. Turning, I let Jasper and Emmett handle Alice's vision and spoke to my sister. "Some of the Cullen's have special…powers. Alice can see the future or more accurately where the path you are on, will lead you. Jasper is an empath, he can feel and manipulate a person's feelings. Edward can read minds." I told them as way of warning them.

Faith nodded. "Interesting group of friends you've got here sis."

"So what was all that hub bub about eating habits, pet? Can I eat yet? I'm a bit peckish." Spike asked from across the room.

"Umm hold up a sec Spike. Let me see what Alice says. Ummm the thing is…like all vamps the Cullen's crave human blood, but they themselves abstain from it. They drink animal blood as well, but they drink it straight from the source." I explained to them before turning towards Alice. "Everything okay?"

Alice pushed her hair a bit further from her face and smiled over at Spike. "Go ahead and eat. It's okay." She made a face and looked towards her mate and brother. "I can't imagine it smelling to appetizing but I know Carlisle will be intrigued when he see this." She said with a smile.

I turned back to my sister. "So, got some rooms for us?" I asked with a smile.

"Yeah. Come on. I have four rooms, like you asked." Faith said linking arms with me before leading us up the great grand stairs.

"Faith? Where's everyone else?" I asked as we made our way through the hotel.

"Well let's see. Angel and Buffy are in London with Dawn and Giles. I called them and they said they'd be here by tonight. Xan…"

"Wait they're flying back just for me? Faith I'm sure you guys could have handled it." I told her, feeling bad that they were dropping everything they were doing to come help me out of trouble…again.

"Yeah cause they were gonna stay in Europe while you're being hunted by the evil undead." She said as we continued down the hall, her words causing Alice to giggle. I reached back and pulled my best friend along with us and linked arms with her and smiled. She'd been acting weird since I mentioned my sister. "Anyways…Xander and Gunn are in New York with Illyria. Andrew is with a few of the newbies in Italy, but everyone will be arriving by the nightfall." She told me as she stopped in front of a room. "This is the suite for you and your beau." She said with a wink. "Jacuzzi."

I just blushed as I nodded. Jasper walked in and placed my bag on the bed as I looked around the room. "Thanks" I said to Faith as everyone else joined me.

"The room across the hall and the rooms on either side of this are the other three you asked for. Angel had the whole second floor converted to suites so no worry about sharing showers." She said flopping down on the bed.

"If you don't mind we're just going to get settled then, before the others arrive." Alice said looking at Emmett and Jasper, before turning back to my sister. "Thank you again for your hospitality."

Faith looked over at me with a raised eyebrow before turning back to Alice. Clearly my sister wasn't used to vampires with manners. "Ummm…sure no problem. Any friends of Hells Bells…"she didn't continue just let the sentence trail off.

"Regardless thank you." She then turned to me. "I'll call Carlisle and tell him we've arrived. See you in a bit." And with a quick smile my way she left with the others.

I waited for their doors to be closed before looking at Faith, whose eyes I felt burning a hole in my head. "Go ahead, but keep it down, they have impeccable hearing." I sighed flopping down beside her on the bed. Our legs hanging off the side of the queen sized bed.

"How is it that you leave Arizona to go to dad's little ass rainy town and end up hooking up with a vamp and his fam? Only my sister would find more trouble in a little town like Forks then in a big city like Phoenix." I glanced over at my sister and laughed. She looked thoroughly confused by my actions. I couldn't really blame her as I was still unsure how I'd managed to fall in with a family of vampires.

"Heck if I know." I shrugged as I moved my head to stare up at the ceiling again.

"Faith let's leave Bella alone for a bit. I'm sure she's tired from her trip." Robin's voice came from the seat he was in across the room.

I felt the bed shift as Faith stood up. "Yeah. I'll call some pizza. Check everyone's E.T.A.'s. B?" At my glance she continued. "What are your friends planning on doing bout food? Doesn't look like they were carrying any cats with 'em."

I glared at my sister and her utter ridiculousness. "Faith, they don't eat cat's, at least not house cats. They hunt game and I'm not exactly sure."

"Well there isn't exactly any big game in LA, so if they want some pig or otter, they're more than welcomed to it, or we can try and find some other options." She said shrugging. "I'll call your room once dinners here." She said hitting my leg with her foot before heading over to the door.

I stared back up at the ceiling, feeling a slight headache begin to start.

"Oh and B…I'm glad to see you. I missed you." I heard my sister say softly before leaving my room, closing the door behind her.

"I missed you too Faith." I muttered to the room. Clearly my sister and I shared Charlie's inability to show proper emotions to the ones we truly cared for. This was going to be an interesting few days.

AN: Thanks to those of you who reviewed the first chap. Hope this is to your liking. Not exactly sure where this story is going. Kinda just had an idea of a Twilight/Buffy crossover and went with it. Any suggestions are welcomed. R&R Till Later.
