Bella Swan woke with a start, sensing a disturbance. She raised her head to look around her dark room. Her red hair cascaded over her shoulders as she sat up in her bed. He was standing at the window, staring out into the night. Bella couldn't see his face so she couldn't read his expression, but he looked so focused and statue- like to her; no part of his body moved.

"Edward?" Bella whispered.

Edward didn't move or even respond. Bella slid out of bed and walked to him quietly. She stood beside him to look outside as well, but nothing could be seen with her human eyes. Edward's topaz eyes were sharper then hers; he was like a cat.

"You have new neighbors," he finally murmured in his velvet voice.

"Neighbors?" Bella repeated. She furrowed her eyebrows. "Since when?"

"Since now. They're new arrivals."

"You sound suspicious."

"Slightly." Edward concentrated, narrowing his eyes. Bella knew he was looking into their minds. "Hmm…Quinn…Amillia…oh."

"What's wrong?" Bella asked anxiously.

"The one whose mind I was reading blocked me out." Edward replied coolly, sounding amused. "She must have sensed me inside her head. The other two are following her lead and are doing the same."

Bella didn't understand. The girl- or whoever it was- had stopped Edward from digging into her head? That was impossible for anyone beside herself to accomplish.

"How did she do it?"

Edward shook his head. "I'm not positive right now," he answered. He turned to Bella. "But we can discuss this in the morning, love. You must sleep." Taking Bella in his arms, he walked to the bed in silence. He didn't notice a pair of ocean blue eyes peering at him through another window…

"So you're telling me he's a vampire Selena?" Quinn inquired of her sister.

Selena kept her eyes on the house next door, not looking at Quinn when she replied, "Yes."

"Trying to break into our minds," Amillia remarked thoughtfully. "Quite a strong power- and a rare one at that- for a vampire to posses, isn't it?"

"Not anymore rare or strong then our own." Quinn said.

"But it is interesting," Selena said still staring out the window. Her long white-blonde hair quivered slightly as she shook her head. "Amazing. Yet it makes me wonder why he was so easy to block off. Werewolves can be highly susceptible to such power."

"Enough talk Selena," Amillia interrupted. "I'm going hunting." The brown haired girl stalked off without another word. Quinn and Selena watched her leave, and then looked at each other.

"I guess that would be the best idea," Selena remarked. "I'm just aching to get out and run."

"You nit-wit. We ran the whole way here," Quinn laughed.

"Well, this area is new and the forests look intriguing. I'm anxious to check it out."

The two sisters went to the front door, where they found Amillia's clothing folded neatly on the floor.

"I knew she'd go as a wolf," Selena muttered.

"This isn't news to you is it?" Quinn teased.

"Not quite, but it's enjoyable to hunt as a vampire as well."

"I couldn't agree more, Selena. But if we want to keep in contact with her…"

"Yeah I know."

The girls removed their cloths swiftly and in an instant, two large wolves, one with light brown fur with a hint of blonde and the other with blonde, took their place.

'I wonder if there are any other werewolves here?' Quinn thought.

'I wouldn't doubt it,' Selena answered. 'I wouldn't believe it either, Quinn. Forks is near La Push, the home of our Father. There must be werewolves around these parts.'

'But vampires too?'

'That's what makes it so hard to believe. Werewolves an vampires are centuries- long enemies.'

Quinn and Selena sprinted outside to follow Amillia, who was long gone.

'I smell Amillia,' Quinn said.

'Me too, but I'm picking something else up,' Selena responded.

They ran into the trees at a bolt, their pink tongues flapping over their bottom teeth. They kept even breaths as they ran and dodged through the trees, following Amillia's scent. Suddenly a new voice entered their heads.

'Who are you and why are on our territory?' It was a husky, authoritative male voice. Selena was irritated by the voice immediately while Quinn became interested.

'Don't bother with names,' Selena snarled. 'We're new around here if you must know.'

'Where are you?'

'Why don't you use your nose? I'm using mine.'

Just then, a massive russet-furred wolf emerged from the right of the two females. The wolf stopped along with the other two, staring at them with deep, dark eyes.

'My, aren't you the big bad wolf,' Quinn observed teasingly.

'Haha,' the stranger replied. 'Now who are you?'

'I'm Quinn.'

The wolf looked at Selena expectantly.

'Selena.' Selena finally obliged.

'I'm Jake and you're hunting in my territory.' The giant male wolf looked at the girls and let a low snarl escape as he crouched down. Just then a chocolate brown wolf leapt in front of Quinn and Selena, snarling dangerously. Jake was taken by surprise and backed up a bit.

'So you're the other wolf,' Jake growled, his ears flattening.

'Ya, and I suggest you leave before there is one less werewolf in these woods.'

The chocolate brown wolf stood her ground as the other two stepped around and joined her. Jake looked between the three wolves nervously; he could tell that they were serious and he decided not to push his luck, not tonight anyways.

'Fine. I will go, but be warned… we will settle this.' Jake stole one more glance at the light brown wolf before leaving.

'That sniveling bas…' Amillia started to say.

'Amillia,' Selena scolded.

' I can still hear you.' Jake's voice said.

Simultaneously, the three girls growled at him and they heard a laugh, then no presence at all.

'I hate that guy.' Selena said, glaring off into the woods.

'He's got guts to confront us like that.' Amillia remarked.

'How about we stop talking about him and get something to eat?' Quinn suggested, trotting off. Selena and Amillia shrugged, their muscles rippling beneath their soft fur as they did so, and hurried after their sister.

Later, after a failed hunt, Quinn, Amillia, and Selena returned to their home. Selena, having a nose a little more sensitive then her sisters', stopped, frozen to the ground. Quinn and Amillia stopped too, listening.

'He's here.' Selena said. The wolves slowly and cautiously approached their home with for bristled and ears erect. Their eyes glimmered as they trotted side, the moonlight bearing down on them. When they reached the driveway of their home, someone was there, waiting for them.

'What are you doing here?' Quinn questioned.

"Greeting the new neighbors, of course," the figure replied politely with a honey-sweet voice. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Edward Cullen."

'I am Selena,' Selena responded. She certainly liked vampires' better attitude wise. 'The last name is of no concern. These are my sisters, Quinn and Amillia. You would know that already with your ability.'

"So you're werewolves," Edward said. "But you don't smell like them."

'Come inside,' Amillia offered. 'Would you please let us inside?'

"Of course." Edward and the girls went up to the porch and Edward opened the door. "After you." The wolves walked inside picking up their cloths along the way and disappearing into a room. Seconds later, they emerged looking like normal humans.

"Now we can meet properly," Quinn said. She shook Edward's hand gently, "I'm Quinn."

"Pleased to meet you Quinn." Edward responded.

"I'm Amillia." Amillia said, taking Edward's hand as well.

"It's a pleasure," Edward looked at Selena, who went to him gracefully and took his hand. "You must be Selena. Pleasure."

"Enchanted," Selena said coolly.

"Please, Edward, have a seat," Quinn offered, gesturing to the maroon couch. Everyone took a seat.

"Thank you," Edward said. "I must ask, if you don't mind, why you don't smell like dogs."

Selena, Quinn, and Amillia exchanged glances, making silent decisions. Finally Selena nodded and sighed.

"Well, Edward… we're not like other werewolves," she whispered. Edward only stared intently. Selena looked to Quinn and Amillia for support; Quinn took the hint.

"You see…we're hybrids." Quinn said in a calm voice. Edward raised a perfectly arched eyebrow; the girls could see the slight confusion behind his brilliant bronze eyes.

"That means we're half vampire half werewolf," Amillia said.

"Half and half," Edward whispered. "There's never been such a thing."

"Until now," Quinn said.

"How did this happen?"

"Our father was a werewolf and our mother was a vampire. We know werewolves and vampires are sworn enemies, but I guess mom and dad saw beyond that," Selena explained. Her blue eyes were blank. "They were outcasts, betrayers to both their kind." Selena lowered her head. "I've said too much…"

"You're fine, Selena," Amillia reassured, taking Selena's hand in hers. She looked at Edward. "It's a hard subject to talk about. Our mother and father were special to us."

"I understand," Edward replied and he sounded sincere. "You don't have to go on."

"No," Quinn said abruptly. "You're the first vampire we've met in this town and we want you to understand our type and background."

"Alright. It's your decision."

"Edward…do you know the stories of the first werewolves?"

"To and extent. The werewolves were attacked by a revengeful vampire and many died."

"Yes," Quinn continued. "That's the gist of it. You see… the female vampire that returned to La Push… her brother had been killed by our uncle on accident. The vampire was our mother, and she had heard that her brother had been killed. So she went to La Push for revenge; not towards our father, but towards his brother." Quinn struggled to continue; she was speechless. Selena helped her sister out.

"But she didn't know her own brother had killed our father. So her revenge was blinded by anger and she wanted to avenge her brother," Selena continued. "And she never knew. She was killed before she could ever find out."

"What about you?" Edward asked.

"Us?"

"Yes."

"We were doomed to be both vampire and werewolf and neutral," Amillia said. "We can't be angry at the vampires for the death of our father or vice versa because they are part of who we are."

"What fascinates me the most," Edward said quietly, "is that the only vampire trait you contain is the gracefulness and beauty."

"That's because we're no vampires right now." Selena replied. Edward was quite and the sisters remained patient.

"You're not vampires…so then what are you?" Edward finally asked.

"Humans." Quinn answered quickly.

"It's hard to understand, Edward." Amillia said.

"I'll try to understand. Please continue." Edward urged.

"Well," Selena said slowly. "We have control over when and where we transform. Right now, we choose to be neither werewolf nor vampire. As you could see before, we were wolves. When we are vampires…"- Selena closed he eyes and Edward noticed how pale her skin became-"…we don't change immensely, but considerably." She touched her arm. "We are cold to the touch and hard as stone." Selena stared at her hand before looking at Edward once more. "There is only one night when we can't control what we are."

"The first night of the new moon." Amillia said before Edward could ask. "It's the only night when we are both werewolf and vampire…we have no choice."

"When that happens we are incredibly strong," Quinn added. "Naturally we have a very good temperament as a were-pire, but if we're ever threatened by an evil presence, it may be fatal."

Edward looked at each girl in turn, contemplating all that the girls had just told him. "Since you three are half vampire do you have any special abilities?"

A sinister smile crept across Amillia's face as she looked to Selena. Selena had seen that smile on Amillia before and knew Edward had something coming.

"Yes. Amillia, Selena and I have powers that no other vampire has."

Quinn raised her hand, palm upward. A small flame appeared in Quinn's palm and grew in size until Quinn's entire hand was engulfed in flames.

"I have the ability to control the environment around me."

Quinn suddenly closed her hand and the flame disappeared. Amillia stood up and walked to the chair on Edward's left. Amillia touched the arm of the chair, which began to shudder. The chair slowly began to grow and change shape, elongating and becoming fuzzy. Edward watched in amazement as the chair morphed into a large tiger. The tiger circled Edward baring its deadly fangs. Edward watched as the tiger crouched sending all the power to its back legs. The tiger lifted into the air sailing towards Edward; the tiger was mere inches from Edward when it disappeared; a chair fell to the ground where the tiger had been. Amillia walked back to the couch and sat down.

"I guess you know what my power is."

Edward took a deep breath to recompose himself. Edward suddenly felt very strange; his mind felt as though it were trapped in an eerie mist that he couldn't escape, no matter how hard he tried. Edward felt his lower limbs begin to move, but he had no idea where he was going; all he could see was mist. When the mist in Edward's mind lifted and he had no idea where he was going; all he could see was mist. When the mist in Edward's mind lifted and he could think foe himself again, a sharp pain erupted across his forehead. Edward placed a hand on his aching head and looked at the girls sitting on the couch before him. Both Quinn and Amillia were looking at Edward with smug smiles on their lips. Selena was staring at Edward, no emotion played on her face.

"What just happened?" Edward had never been more confused in both his lifetimes.

"Selena just made you viciously attack our wall with your head." Amillia said giggling.

"True story." Quinn said when Edward looked at her. Quinn pointed to the wall that separated the kitchen from the living room; sure enough, there amongst the whiteness of the wall was a huge hole. Selena's emotionless mask lifted and she grinned sheepishly.

"Sorry Edward," She apologized. "You wanted a demonstration and that's the only one I could offer." She grimaced. " I hope I haven't hurt you."

"Not at all." Edward said, rubbing his head.

"I think he hurt the wall more than it hurt him." Amillia said, stifling another laugh.

"You girls are quite the humorous hybrids." Edward smiled.

"Um, we're known for that." Quinn replied, smiling.

Edward lowered his hand from his head. "I must be going," he said. "My fiancée will be wondering where I am."

"Lovely," Selena whispered. "Your fiancée… then you should return to her."

There was pain in Selena's blue eyes that Edward saw, but couldn't read. He couldn't enter her mind, for she knew he would try and countered him with a barrier.

"Yes," Edward responded slowly. "I'm sure she'd like to meet all of you. Will tomorrow be alright?"

"Of course." Quinn answered kindly. "We'd love to meet your fiancée, Edward."

"She sounds nice," Amillia added, studying her nails.

Selena said nothing; she only stared absent-mindedly at her hands. Quinn and Amillia walked Edward to the front door, leaving Selena to sit on the couch.

"Is she alright?" Edward asked when he was standing in the doorway.

"Oh she'll be fine." Amillia responded. "She's probably a little tired, that's all."

"Tired?"

"We got the sleep gene of the werewolf and human," Quinn quickly explained. "We can sleep unlike most vampires."

"Believe me when I tell you that will be all the questions I have tonight," Edward laughed quietly. "Good night."

"Good night." Amillia and Quinn chimed as Edward disappeared into the darkness.

"See you tomorrow…Edward Cullen." Selena whispered to herself.
