I walked out into the yard looking at my family. They were my clan that I had brought together. Most of them were misfits in our world. In our world there are rules and some of them just don't fit. I was one of the ones that didn't fit in the crowd. I was a vampire misfit and some how that didn't bother me. I like my power of being able to take a power and use it.

Dalton came over and stood by me. He was my mate for life and I couldn't ask for a better one. His family and mine had joined not to long ago. He made everything seem in order here. He was also a misfit in our world with his power. He could bend the mind at will and make you do anything he wanted.

"Evangeline," he sighed, "have you ever thought that it was a mistake to bring our families together?"

"Everyday," I whispered. I pulled him closer and put my face in his chest.

"Then why did we do it?"

"Because it felt right. We belong here. Together."

He held me tighter and ran his hand through my hair. I heard him sigh then put his head on mine. I knew it was dangerous to have ten vampires in one spot, and that was including us. It was bad when I only had my five. Everyday we would have to move because we were always followed. Now we didn't have that problem.

I looked up suddenly because I heard something. It was not one of my clan members making the noise.

"What," Dalton asked quickly.

"I hear someone," I told him quietly. "I can hear there thoughts. We need to get everyone inside. Now."

"Everyone inside," he yelled.

They all followed his orders. They all rushed inside not knowing what was going on. Dalton was the last one in, making sure everyone was inside. He came back over to my side and held me.

"Who is it," he asked in barely a whisper.

"Volturi," was the only word I said.

I could hear them getting closer now. I heard one of them say "How could they blow the secret?". We had never said anything like that. We were unknown my most people. I kept listening to them. A man by the name of Edward Jones had said something about us. Now the Volturi were on our tails.

"Everyone we need you to stay calm," Dalton said to the crowd. "The Volturi are coming to speak with us."

"Dalton we didn't do anything," Drexel said. He was one of my members. He is tall, blonde, and had a great build. His power was really nothing out of the ordinary. He could feel emotions around him but could do nothing more.

"I know," was his only response to him.

Three figures stepped out into our yard. I knew all of them by name. Felix stood on the left, Alec was in the center, and Demetri was on the right. I knew what each could do. I had spent years with them.

All three walked up to the sliding-glass door and gestured for someone to open it. I went over and opened the door. They stepped in slowly and looked around. I could hear them all thinking that it was to bad they had to kill us.

"Evangeline your clan grew," Alec's voice rang out.

"May I ask what you are doing here," I spoke softly to them. I drifted back over to Dalton's side and his arms came around me.

"Your clan is known by humans. Until you get it fixed we have things to do."

"Like what, Alec?"

He moved his hand up and Felix and Demetri went into the crowd. They were doing something I could not see. I looked back over at Alec and he was smiling.

"Be carful Evangeline," his voice sickly sweet when he spoke. "We are doing this to protect you and the entire vampire world."

"What did we do?"

"The secret was almost told."

He moved over to me and guided me away from Dalton. His hand held mine tight as he led me outside. His eyes were soft and sweet for once.

"We need to talk about this," he said to me. "I don't want to hurt anyone. Tell me what you know about this."

"I don't know what you are talking about," I whimpered. "What happened?"

"The secret about us was almost told," he sighed. "The man that knows said something about you. He said that you weren't human. We had to stop it before it goes too far."

"So you come for my family."

"We had to. But there is a way to fix this."

I stood there for a long time staring at him. I didn't know what to do. I walked forwarded and wrapped my arms around him. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer.

"Just help me fix it," I whispered to him.

"All you had to do was ask," he replied.
