I do not own Twilight. I own Tiffani and Lexi.

Story Start

"Wow, this place is definitely the creepy and beautiful place that you know you should not enter," Lexi said as they walked through the building.

"That's true," Tiffani said even though she was slightly distracted by the good-looking vampire leading the group. She tried to ignore her weird beating heart whenever the vampire would look back at her. She froze when she saw a young girl meet them. She looked like the angriest child that she had ever seen.

"Didn't know they had vampires that young," Lexi said to Tiffani, who just nodded. Both friends frowned when the girl vampire glared at them. The vampire kept glaring at them and the girls just shrugged and looked at each other.

"I like a staring game as much as anybody, but the game is boring with her. She doesn't try to make funny faces," Tiffani said and Lexi laughed.

"Not everybody can make the funny faces we can make," Lexi answered.

"I make the best funny faces," her friend said and Lexi smirked.

"You don't make those, they are just your already there face," Lexi said and she got a smack on the arm from Tiffani.

"Enough, they are waiting for you," the girl vampire hissed and the friends stopped. They looked around and saw the other three of their group shaking in terror. The two red-eyed vampires looked ahead towards two large doors.

"Well let's not keep them waiting," Tiffani said with an eyebrow raised. She smiled at Lexi and linked their arms together as they walked to stand behind the two red-eyed vampires.

"Is your cousin crazy?" the girls heard Edward whisper to Bella.

"Yes, and you are not good at whispering because I heard that," Tiffani said and winked at the three behind her. She grew silent when the two red-eyed vampires opened the large doors before them.

"Here we go, Tiffani, do not get us killed," Lexi thought and sent up a silent prayer.

"I wonder how mad I can get them," Tiffani thought as they all entered the room and saw three vampires sitting on thrones.

"Demetri, Jane, thank you for bringing in our guests," the one in the middle said happily, as he stood from his chair and started to approach the group. The vampire took Demetri and then Jane's hand and he started laughing as he looked at Tiffani.

"Interesting," the vampire said and then looked at Edward and Bella. Edward was standing in front of Bella, who looked like a rabbit about to be skinned and then turned into soup.

"Edward, your hand," the man said and Edward looked scared.

"Yes, Aro," Edward said and held out his hand even though he looked like he would rather do something else.

Tiffani and Lexi took that moment to stare around the room at the other occupants. Tiffani once again saw the one known as Demetri staring at her, but she kept her eyes off him so she could see everything else in the room.

Lexi felt a little nervous but she was ready for anything. After all, she had been through during her journeys with Tiffani; some vampires were not going to scare her. She bet Embry would be freaking out right now if he knew where she was.

"She hit you in the face with a shoe," Aro's voice drew the girls' attention.

"It was a great hit too," Tiffani said proudly and she laughed when Edward growled at her.

"Welcome to Volterra, my name is Aro. It seems that Edward does not know much about you two," Aro said as he walked towards Lexi and Tiffani. Lexi was happy to stand beside her friend instead of acting like Bella, who was still cowering.

"Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Tiffani, Bella's cousin," Tiffani introduced herself and shook Aro's hand.

"I'm Tiffani's friend, Lexi," Lexi introduced but did not shake Aro's hand because he was still holding her friend's hand.

"Um, can you let go now?" Tiffani asked looking at Aro, who was still holding her hand and looked as if he was in another world.

"You definitely do have some stories to tell," Aro said before looking to Lexi for her hand, but she was holding her hands behind her back with a smile.

"Sorry, poison oak, you do not want this," she said making up a lie. She did not want this guy seeing into her mind.

"Oh, cool, you're a vampire that can read minds by touch," Tiffani said and Lexi felt like smacking her.

"They know what we are too, kill them," the blonde haired ruler yelled from his throne.

"Kill him first," Tiffani yelled and pointed at Edward, and she got a shocked look from Bella. "Aw, you'll miss him for a bit but it'll be fun to watch him be torn apart," she said to soothe her cousin, which just made Bella more shocked.

"I second that," Lexi said and they both laughed at some of the looks from the other vampires.

"Wait, Bella will become a vampire," Alice yelled and everybody froze.

"Let me see, my dear," Aro commanded but still in a nice voice. He approached Alice and took her hand. "Yes, she will, but what is this, so will Tiffani," he said and pulled his hand away from Alice. He looked at Tiffani and then looked at Demetri.

"Oh no, you as a vampire will be bad," Lexi said and covered her face. She was shocked when she heard and saw Demetri hiss at her.

"I promise not to eat you," Tiffani said with a cute pout on her face.

"What about the other one?" the blonde haired ruler asked with a glare towards Lexi.

"Her future is cloudy to me, but she cannot become a vampire. She will not tell though," Alice tried to persuade. Tiffani stood protectively in front of her friend.

"Don't touch her," Tiffani said angrily as she stared down all the other vampires in the room.

"Well this is a problem. Edward, you will have a year to turn Bella into a vampire. If you do not then we will turn her ourselves or kill her. However, we must make a deal so Lexi may leave without being turned ever. I can smell the mating scent of a wolf on you anyways," Aro said and looked at Lexi specifically at the last part of his statement.

"Wolf," Lexi said questionably before thinking that she and Embry needed to have a talk.

"What can I do?" Tiffani asked out of nowhere and Lexi gave her a frown. "I'll do whatever I need to do so she will not be turned or hurt," she said again ignoring the worried looks from her friend.

"Anything?" Aro asked with a smirk before motioning Demetri towards him. He took Demetri's hand and smirked. "I had a feeling she was your mate," he said to Demetri, who just nodded his head.

"Mate," Tiffani said surprised as she and Demetri locked eyes. "Well this is moving fast," she said and slowly approached when Aro motioned her forwards. She gave her friend a sad smile when Lexi tried to grab her. "I'll be fine," she whispered to Lexi before she walked to stand in front of Aro and Demetri.

Lexi shot a glare at Bella, who just cringed and hid away more. "All her stupid fault," she thought before looking back at her friend, who was being brave in front of these two strong vampires.

"My dear, the condition to keep your friend safe is for you to be turned," Aro said and Tiffani just nodded.

"I had a feeling, but I have some conditions," Tiffani said and Aro seemed surprised that she was not cowering before him.

"What are these conditions?" Demetri asked curiously. The smirk on Tiffani's face made Lexi tense in worry.
