Hello everyone, here's the new one! I am so sorry it took so long. My town was hit by a crap load of tornados and we didn't have power for a while….and I had writers block… I'M SO SORRY! But I'm back, and I know where it's going. I'm so sorry Tirgess-san! I just couldn't wait to post, and my computer stopped glitching for a while!

Flustered- Chan

Disclaimer - I don't own twilight, but I wish I did (stares off into space) think of the possibilities... I just own Juliet, Adeline belongs to Nocturne Tigress.


Transformation

"There is no death. Only a changing of worlds."

- Chief Seattle

The night Carlisle left Italy Marcus walked with him to the city gates. It was their last chance to change the other's way mind about how they spent their extensive lives. As they walked they discussed places Carlisle could go, places he had yet to see.

"You do not have to leave Carlisle."Marcus said, stopping as they reached the gate. "You will always be welcome in Italy." Carlisle smiled wistfully, putting a hand on his friends arm.

"I am sorry. We both know I cannot change my ways, and you cannot change yours. " Marcus frowned.

"We could fix you Carlisle, you have potential to be great!"

"I will not be one of you little experiments Marcus." Carlisle growled, he was not something that needed fixing. "You disturb the world and it's creatures for fun, to amuse yourself. It's sickening, so much so, the results are meaningless." He turned and left, Marcus called after him.

"You are the one who is meaningless Carlisle! You are pathetic! A disgrace! If you will not live up to your full potential I will find someone who will!"

Or make someone…

Hundreds of years later, Carlisle stared into the pale blue eyes of what he feared were the result of that night.

"What did they do?" He asked again, Adeline, stumbled over her words as she continued her story.

They changed their minds and we were sent to bed. Those dogs, they didn't want a fuss, so they did it during the night while we slept and I couldn't protect my sister. We woke up on what we thought was the next morning ankles and wrists bound in chains in a dark windowless room.

In reality we'd been unconscious for the past week. As soon as opened our eyes we were hit by a wave of terrible pain. They heard our screams and had someone come in with what looked like dark wine. In blind agony we drank, after that we were hooked. It was animal blood, for our first five years we drank only that. For five long years we were held in that hell hole.

Juliet cried for days straight, apologizing for what she had done. I can still see the pain of her face when Marcus came to check on us that first day. He brought Nicolo with him, Adeline lit up for a second, only a second. He never looked at her, he just stared at the floor while Marcus babbled on about something, I spit at his feet. They turned to leave, Juliet yelled after him, He looked back, but as if a stranger had called him name, instead of the one who more than likely cared about him the most, she shrank back and began to cry. She never seemed to get emotionally attached to anyone else after that. Sure she's flirted with the occasional rock star, but that's irrelevant.

Apparently we some kind of experiment, they were trying to make the ultimate hunter or something, but I don't understand for making us immune to human blood had to do with anything… We weren't the only pawns in the Volturi's sick game. We saw many new vampires come and go, all rejecting the animal blood and ultimately destroying themselves. But on the blood we two flourished, Marcus was ecstatic. We had abnormal strength and speed we developed powers he had never seem before, he would always say we were the most human vampires he had ever seen. When we could bare to look at him, even talk to him, he would ask us odd questions and for our opinions about events in history.

He would say that we were his greatest accomplishment…

"How did you escape?" Carlisle interrupted; he sat at his desk again, engrossed in Adeline's tale.

We had been there for five years and had seen no one make the progress that we had. But they brought in a girl one day; she had dark skin, long curly hair, and deep green eyes. Her name was Elizabeth, she soon became our friend. She lasted longer than the rest of the experiments and was almost as strong as us when Marcus decided to test us.

We were starved for a month and taken to a large meadow full of deer. Guards surrounded the meadow to make sure we didn't escape and the Volturi were seated in comfortable chairs on the far side of it to watch us hunt. The rules were simple; kill as many deer as you could, and if you tried to escape you died. They unchained us; huge sores covered our wrists and ankles, forcing us to hobble for while we got used to walking, even standing without chains. Once we were ready, they let us go. We were like animals taking down those poor animals without a care, draining them dry and moving on to the next.

I was on my tenth when I saw Juliet stop, blood dripping of her lips. She stared at the far end of the meadow where the Volturi watched. Nicolo had just arrived, he shook hands with Marcus. Juliet hadn't seen him since the first day of our transformation. He had a woman with him; she was human but still very beautiful. Not as beautiful as Juliet was, but I could understand Nicolo's attraction to her. She probably didn't know he would kill her that day, why else would he bring her there? Juliet growled, at the woman or Nicolo I didn't know.

She was gone the next second, sprinting across the grass towards Nicolo. As he turned his head in her direction she pounced on him, Lizzie and I right behind her. Hopefully she killed him, or at least scared him; we didn't stick around to find out. We broke through the wall of guards and ran through the forest. We ran, and ran, and ran. Not even looking at each other until we stopped at night fall. We had been so preoccupied with escaping we didn't notice Elizabeth wasn't with us. We went on without her… Is that enough for you?"

Carlisle nodded, and opened his mouth to ask a question, when Bella and Edward burst in to the room.

"Juliet's fainted." Edward said, Carlisle stood up from his desk.

"What?"

"Oh, no." Adeline whispered and ran out of the office.

Juliet sighed, leaning against the wall, this was bad. Very bad, didn't the scary blond one have a claim to him? He was already with someone! She banged her head against the wall with frustration. At that moment Alice rushed upstairs.

"Juliet!" She ran up and hugged the startled twin.

"Um, hi Alice." Juliet said surprise, Alice sure was friendly.

"Do you want me to help you get cleaned up?" She asked, already leading Juliet to her room.

"Um, sure, I could use with a little cleaning up." The two laughed and walked away holding hands, and at that she forgot all Nicolo in the warmth of her new family.

As Juliet showered, Alice ran around looking for new clothes for her. Alice really liked Juliet; she was so happy and fun. Unfortunately, she was a size smaller that Alice, so she ran to Rosalie's room, they were about the same size. As she neared the door she could hear Emmett's voice was raised.

"Why can't you just give them a chance? You always do this."

"You're blaming this on me? We know nothing about them Emmet! They could be a threat!"

"You know I love you but I can't see why you can't just talk to them!"

"I refuse to; we've become a boarding house for strays! First that human-"

"That human has a name! Her name is Bella, and if you weren't so self centered you could see that Edward loves her! He's happy!" It went on in this pattern, Alice shook her head, the two had been fighting more and more as the wedding drew closer. Alice decided to just have Juliet wear a belt.

Juliet was so grateful for the new clothes; she hadn't bathed or had clean clothes for aver a month they had been on the run from a Volturi tracker.

"Thanks Alice, you're the best." She said hugging her.

"No problem, hey do you want to help make Bella's dinner?" Alice asked, heading for the door.

"Sure," Juliet followed her through the door. "but why are you guys making her dinner?" Alice explained about Bella and Edward as the entered the kitchen.

"Wow. How romantic!" Edward glared at Alice.

"What have you been telling her Alice?"

"Nothing." She smiled mischievously. Bella sat on a stool next to counter as Esme, Edward, Jasper, Alice, and Juliet got ready for the challenge.

"Tonight we will make!" Edward, wearing an apron, stopped for a dramatic pause. "Lasagna!" Alice and Jasper pumped their arms in the air.

"Yay!" Juliet reluctantly did the same, her vision blurring as she did so. Juliet fell to the floor, unconscious.

There were several confused cries of "Can we even faint?" as Bella and Edward went for Carlisle and Adeline.

Emmet sat on the top of the staircase, Rosalie had thrown him out of their room because he wouldn't go to Carlisle and ask him to throw the twins out. He wondered why she wanted them out so badly; she never liked new people to join the family. Edward and Bella ran up the stair, he sprang up as not to be run over. Bella stumbled on the last step.

"What's wrong?" He asked, helping her up.

"Juliet fainted in the kitchen." She yelled for Edward to wait up. Emmet ran down to the Kitchen. As he entered he saw Jasper and Alice staring bewildered at Juliet's unconscious body. Jasper looked up at him.

"Can we faint?"

"I don't think so. Why don't we move her into the living room?" He replied, without waiting for an answer he lifted her up in his arms and carried her to the white sofa in the living room. As he set her down the other ran down the stairs and double-taked in the kitchen "In here!" He yelled, almost laughing.

Adeline ran into the living room and kneeled by her sister and gently she slapped her. "Hey you, wake up." She cooed, slapping her some more. Juliet opened her eyes after a few more second.

"Hey Addy." She smiled angelically; Adeline smacked her over the head.

"What wrong with you? Didn't I tell you in North Dakota to eat something? Can someone get her a sandwich or something?"

Juliet sat on the kitchen counter, her legs dangling over the side, eating the ham sandwich Bella had made for her.

"You have a lot of explaining to do." Jasper said, standing in the doorway, watching Juliet inhale the sandwich, a look of distaste on his face. Edward nodded from his stool, Bella sat next to him. Adeline who sat on the counter with her sister looked confused.

"What do you mean?"

"She's a vampire!" Alice exclaimed leaning against fridge.

"And she's eating a sandwich!" Emmet finished, he leaned against the counter next to Juliet.

"We are very curious as to why she fainted." Carlisle asked, leaning against the sink.

"And why she's eating a sandwich to revive herself." Esme added, right next to him.

"Are you sure you all want to know?" Juliet asked as she licked her fingers. "Great sandwich Bella, can I have another?" She asked sweetly, Bella nodded, finding it oddly comforting to have someone else in the house who didn't think her food was disgusting.

"Okay, here it goes." Adeline sighed. "We think we were experiment created by the Volturi."

"We think they did something weird to us when we were being transformed. Ooh! Thank you." Juliet said as Bella handed her the sandwich. Adeline rolled her eyes.

"Anyway, we think they were trying to make us into some kind of super hunters. They halfway succeeded; we're different, but I guess you can see that." She looked pointedly at her sister who looked up from her sandwich and swallowed

"We have special powers, we can resist human blood, and we prefer animal blood." Juliet added between bites. "I really can't say enough about your sandwich making Bella."

"And if those aren't available to us, human food will sustain us." Adeline continued.

"We're fast, we're strong, we don't shimmer in the light, and we've lived for hundred's of years, but we do have our flaws." Juliet said, happily biting into the sandwich again.

"Like if we don't eat we faint," Adeline smacked Juliet in the back of the head again.

"Hey watch it man! There's a sandwich here!" Juliet cried almost dropping it.

"We also need to sleep, only an hour or so a week though. We've always looked out for each other and we must be doing something right we've survived this long"

"Barley." Juliet muttered.

"The Orange county fiasco was you're fault." Adeline spat.

"Was too."

"Was not."

"Was too."

"Was not."

"LADIES!" Emmet yelled over them, the kitchen fell silent. "Please go on." Emmett muttered, grinning at Juliet embarrassed.

"Anyway, does that clear everything up?" Adeline asked, snapping back to her story.

"I suppose so." Carlisle replied. "That's all we can ask of you, if you will excuse us, Esme and I need to discuss a few things." At that, they left, the rest stayed to talk a while more, eventually the conversation turned to their super natural abilities.

"What kind of powers do you have?" Jasper asked, still leaning on the door.

"Well, we can both read minds and send messages to people via mind mail, but we both have an individual power." Adeline answered.

"Yeah, Addy is telekinetic" Juliet finally finished her sandwich. There was a collective "wow" Adeline shook her head.

"It's not as glamorous as it sounds, I can only move smaller things, I can't throw car in the air, tables and chairs are just as effective." Her smile said there was a story behind it that she wouldn't delve into.

"What about you Juliet?" Bella asked her eyes wide. Adeline answered for her.

"Juliet can manipulate love and hate." Everyone froze.

"WHAT?"

"It's not as fancy as you think. I don't control you; just you're reaction to the person or what they're saying. Here's an example, Alice? Jasper? Will you do me the honors?" They nodded and stood in front of her.

"What this, this is hilarious; she once made me argue with a toaster. For hours I just yelled at it." Adeline told giggled.

"I remember that, she called the toaster a fascist, I was rolling on the floor. Anyway, Jasper makes a comment about the weather." Juliet said, gesturing out the window.

"Um, okay." Jasper murmured. "It's cloudy." Juliet touched Alice's arm.

"I realize its cloudy Jasper! Why don't you admit it? You think I'm an idiot! Just go away!" Juliet touched it again; Alice clapped her hands to her mouth. "Oh my go jasper I'm so sorry I didn't mean it!" The whole kitchen erupted in laughter; Jasper's mouth was hanging open. "I need to lie down." Alice exited the kitchen holding her head. Juliet bit her lip, and put her hands to her mouth.

"Oh no, if I do it to long I drain some of their energy. You should go with her."

"How do I know she's still not mad at me?" Jasper asked hesitantly. Juliet rolled her eyes and touched his shoulder, he ran out of the kitchen yelling

"Alice my love! Wait for me! Come back!" Emmett whistled.

"Shout. You're evil… I like it." She smiled wickedly back.

"Thanks. It'll ware off in a bit. Besides, I can only manipulate love if it's already there. I can't make people fall in love, there had to be a little bit of love their. I'm just an intensifier. " Emmet raised his eyebrows.

"Wow."

"Are you still hungry Juliet?" Bella asked, not hearing the conversation.

"That should keep me going until I can hunt next, but… would you hate me if I had another?" She asked sweetly, pouting.

"Why did Juliet faint and not you Adeline?" Edward asked, steadying Bella when she almost fell off of her stool.

"Well," Juliet answered for her sister. "As we ran from this psychopath who wanted to kill us, we ran through o forest and she would just grab random squirrels. She would just stick hand into the forest and she would catch a squirrel mid jump or something, she is the queen of the squirrels!" Everyone laughed.

"Just because I'm not a picky eater…" Adeline mumbled.

"I'm not picky; I just don't like squirrels, eating them at least."

"You're going to find a squirrel on your pillow tomorrow morning." Adeline muttered, glaring playfully at her sister. The rest of the night was spent swapping embarrassing stories at other expenses.

All those who could fall asleep did so; Adeline woke up and managed to trudge up to the room Alice had said was theirs. Bella and Juliet were a different story, Edward carried Bella to their room, and Emmet volunteered carry Juliet. Halfway up the stairs she stirred, seeing Emmett's face she smiled.

"Hi Emmet, why are we moving?" She sounded groggy and still sleepy, he shushed her.

"I'm taking you to your room so you can sleep."

"Cool, you the best Emm-" Juliet couldn't manage the rest, she curled up in his arms and fell asleep again, a blissful smile on her lips. Emmet sighed and shook his head.

"What am I going to do?" He lay her down in the attic room that was supposed to be Bella's but was never used. He lingered for a minuet watching her sleep. He shook his head.

"What am I doing?" He needed to talk to Rosalie and straighten things out, not watch a girl he just met sleep. He descended the stairs to the attic, hoping Rosalie had cooled off so they could talk, unfortunately no, she had not cooled off and was not ready to talk. She was ready to scream, accuse, and maybe kill him if she could sneak up behind him. She saw him take the sleeping Juliet to her room, saw him sigh, and saw her smile at him. Saw what was coming.
