A/N Hey! Vampire-Sama here! I think I'm getting used to this whole "Posting so you don't lose readers" thing. This chapter caused a lot of confusion for me because I had to actually think where this salami cart was heading, so I had my story construction crew help me with our state of the art equipment. (My beta, a dry erase board, and dry erase markers that were VERY dry, and wouldn't erase) REVIEW! IF YOU SEE THIS REVIEW YOUR BUTT OFF!!!!! Where's the love man? Or….er WO- man, whichever. NTE

Four to one? We can take em'!

"I am not arguing with you, I am telling you."- J. McN Whistler

Adeline was sending death thoughts to her sister. How could she be so stupid? Going into this house? She didn't even know these people! The girls, more over Juliet, had agreed to come into the Cullen's house and "talk."

"Are you INSANE?!?!" She asked her sister in her mind.

"Why, yes, yes I am. What's your point?"

"Coming to these people's house? WE DON'T KNOW THEM!"

"So?"

"You don't see any thing horribly wrong with this? This isn't a bad horror flick! Going into a house full of vampires? That's so cheesy!"

"Yeah, but the difference between this is that is that we'revampires to!"

"So you think that means we're safe? Can you count? There are eight of them! There are two of us! Do you know the ratio of them and us is?"

"Yes, four to one, I know. They're good people, though!"

"Yeah, just like the last ones were good people, and the ones before that! They're good people until they find out our eating habits!"

"We survived didn't we?"

"Yes but just so!"

"It's my decision! They know we don't eat like that, and look we're still alive! There are very few things that can still kill us, as I keep reminding you!"

"It's your decision but it's stupid, and just because we can't die easily doesn't mean we can't!"

"Who is leader for this decade?"

"You are, but that doesn't mean you can be stupid!"

"STUPID? WHO ARE YOU TO CALL ME STUPI-"

"Excuse me ladies but you can speak out loud if you'd like." Edward's voice interrupted their silent feud. The others were looking at them, eyebrows raised. The two were standing up from the chairs they had been sitting on and we're staring at each other, fury in their eyes.

Juliet sighed and sat down with her sister.

"Sorry 'bout that," she said. Esmé smile and shook her head.

"There's no need to apologize." There was a brief introduction to the rest of the family.

Rosalie was pretty, blonde, and kind of unfriendly. When she was introduced she just glared at the two and rolled her eyes.

Emmet, Rosalie's boyfriend (OF COURSE!), was the exact opposite; he was gregarious, and cheery. He was cautious, but at least he smiled at them.

Adeline liked Alice, she was the one who had seen them coming. She sat next to the girls and acted like they had been friends for years.

Edward sat next to Juliet, seeming to mock her in her mind. She seemed to have found a rival.

Next to Edward was Bella. Both girls grew fond of Bella. She was nice, but she looked at them with a hint of fright in her eyes-understandable. But she was very brave to be so akin to vampires.

Lastly there was Jasper. He stayed next to Alice, not looking at the sisters until he was introduced, to which he looked up and smiled.

After all introductions everyone seemed to scatter. Edward, Alice, Jasper, and Bella went into town. A nearby town called "Forks." When Juliet, who was totally at ease with the Cullens, heard this, she cackled.

"FORKS? LIKE THE PLURAL OF FORK?" Edward looked at her with an "I had never thought of it like that" look on his face as they left for the plural of fork. Emmet howled and, was immediately dragged of by Rosalie. It was just Esme and Carlisle left then.

"Shall we talk in my study?" he asked the girls, and then without a word started to walk up the stairs and lead them down a hall, talking all the way. "This is where we sleep, I believe that's Alice and Jaspers room, Rosalie and Emmet's is back there, and there's Bella and Edwards room. And I know what you must be thinking, but it's just how turned out, all the kids falling for each other." He led them into a large room.

Books lined the majority of the room, hundreds of leather bound books, most of which were devoted to the medical sciences. The rest of the wall space was taken up by a huge collection of paintings. There were small ones, large one, bright ones, dark ones, even a blank one. Just as Carlisle was sitting behind his grand oak desk the girls spotted it, the largest painting of them all. Framed in gold, the painting depicted four seraphs, two of which were blonde, one of which who was all too familiar to the girls. It was Adeline who gasped.

"What's wrong?" Carlisle asked. She responded more to her sister than him.

"It's Marcus…"
