Chapter one
The year is 2013. Most governments and high ranking officials are aware of the existence of mythical creatures but have kept the information from the general public in a means of controlling panic in the masses.
Definition:
Mythical creature: an imaginary being of myth or fable
Government confidential definition:
Mythical creature: Beings thought to be make believe that scientists and governments have now acquired irrefutable proof that they do in fact exist in today's world. Examples (to date) vampires, werewolves, fairies, witches and 'angels/demons'
Literary works of fictions were actually written by extremely observant people who only wanted to inform the world of their findings. Unfortunately, each author was ordered to list the books as fiction or face the consequences of life in prison or a mental ward. Some of the authors wrote their works completely from their imaginations pulling information from true to life sources and then twisting it to suit their own personal flair.
The governments of the world have tried to keep all persons trying to expose the truth to a minimum and in turn have succeeded in making such individuals look to be 'touched' or mentally insane. The governments have also turned a blind eye on missing persons cases involving known criminals because they seem to be a favorite food source for both demons and vampires. Criminals given a death sentence have been 'delivered' so to speak to the factions of demons and vampires around the world as another means to keep working relationships with the societies.

I had been spending the afternoon re-reading documents, journals and books in my library trying to pass the time. My lovely wife had gone on a weekend long shopping trip with the girls and I was bored and lonely. It gave me a bit of a chuckle to read the documents sent to us by the government. Of course they only have part of the information and aren't aware of the local shapeshifters of my region. Or any shapeshifters for that matter. There were hundreds of species out there that humans weren't aware of but the Volturi had forbid us from leaking any more information about the 'mythical' world. The consequences of such actions were severe, let's just leave it at that.
Some works of fiction that I have read of the centuries have been nearly perfect in their descriptions of the species leading me to believe that the human had help in creating it. Of course I can't prove it but it is still a hypothesis of mine. I sat the packet down and decided to re-read a favorite of mine when a terrible crash downstairs disturbed my peace.
"Look what you did, now we're gonna have to go out and by another TV."
"It's not my fault, he was the one thinking about sucking on that cheerleaders nipples. I don't understand why though, she's wielding a chainsaw. I wouldn't want to get anywhere near her."
I hear one of them run to another room before the sound of the game starts back up. Sounds like they found a spare TV for the moment. Boys.
"Aw hell no, Jazz tell me you didn't just make us both get a hard-on for each other?!"
"I feel violated, I'm going to my room."
There was a brief flitter of soft footfalls before a door clicked shut and classical music started playing. Edward. One down.
"Care to go for a hunt or something Em?"
"Hell no, you are altogether too kinky for your own good. Count me out."
There was a whoosh of air and rustle of leaves outside and then more silence. Jasper. Well he's gone until tomorrow morning. Two down. A video game started back up and then a loud growl erupted.
"I can't play this now because I'm thinking of doing some crazy ass shit to the damn cheerleaders tits. I need to get out of here." Now I can hear heavy footsteps walking through the first floor. "Carlisle? I'm going out to wrestle a bear or two." Again more rustling of leaves. Emmett. Three down and thankfully the damage to the house is minimal. I better text Esme to purchase a new TV while she's out.
Hi sweetheart. Buy another 52" or larger before you return. XOXO –C
After a moment my phone beeped.
What happened this time? –E
The boys and apparently a busty cheerleader wielding a chainsaw. –C
30 seconds later.
Do I want to know what that means? –E
Trust me it's better to be blissfully unaware. XOXOXXXX I miss you. –C
After another moment of silence.
We'll be back soon and I have a surprise for you that should cheer you up. –E
Keep talking… -C
After five agonizing minutes later.
Black leather, purple lace and me –E
Hurry woman, hurry! –C
Another 30 seconds passed before my phone beeped again.
LOL, you're so cute! – E
After putting my phone away and returning to my journals I decided that it might be time again to search for a companion or two for the boys. I thought back to the time that we happened upon the girls and was saddened by the fact that they were 100% lesbian and wanted nothing to do with them besides protection from other nomads. It wasn't until later when Emmett was celebrating a super bowl win and was handing out his normal bear hugs when he grabbed Rosalie from behind spinning her around. She screamed so loud that two windows shattered. When he set her down she turned around and backhanded him so hard that he went careening through a dividing wall from the living room to the dining room. She stormed up to her room leaving a sad looking Alice behind. Alice finally told us that her change was the result of a brutal rape. Had Alice not been the one to happen down that alleyway Rosalie most likely would have bled out at the ripe old age of 19.
Rosalie's story was bad enough but she finally told us the rest of the story a week later that it was her fiancée and his friends that had raped and beat her to near death. Poor Alice has no memories of her human life except for brief glimpses into the asylum that her mother had committed her to. She had visions prior to her change and society thought that she was delusional.
So here I am back to the concept of finding another companion for the boys. Don't get me wrong they are nowhere near virginal, we have 'friends' in Alaska that the boys go to from time to time to relieve certain needs. Three insanely beautiful vampires that consider themselves sisters. I know they are a lot older than I but they will never tell me for sure but I have estimated that they are between 800 to 1200 years old each. The few snippets they have mentioned such as lack of education because they were girls, being married off at a young age and living in villages before modern conveniences such as running water or even wells clued me in on that range of age.
In our society the female chooses the male that they want to stay with and so far the sisters have always chosen their sisters over a male protector.
Maybe I should contact Aro, he might be able to suggest a course of action. Just as I'm about to dial the phone Edward poked his head into my study to inform me that for the record he is against this idea of mine. I of course informed him that for the record I am against my house having to be repaired or rebuilt on a regular basis. Even if it gives Esme something to do to combat against boredom.
Edward grimaced then smirked at both my statement and thought then quickly disappeared. So on to calling Aro for guidance, as the phone rings several times I quickly count how many times a wall needed to be replaced because the boys forgot to take it outside. 246, no 247 times! I almost forgot about the time Jasper threw Emmett through a corner frame of the living room causing him to demolish an expensive end table and vase on the other side of the wall. Esme didn't speak to any of us men in the house for a week. She bought the vase in Greece on one of our trips and it held a lot of sentimental value for her. It displayed the story of three brothers and reminded her of the boys, especially since she considers them her children. I was interrupted from my inner musings by the sound of Aro's joyous voice.
"Carlisle it is so wonderful to hear from you." He sang.
"Hello Aro. It's been a while, I hope all is well with you." I replied.
"Of course, of course. Tell me how is your coven doing?" Aro asked.
"Funny you should ask, that's why I'm calling. I need your advice."
"How can I help?" Aro spoke softly.
"I'm looking for another companion for the boys. They are driving me insane right now."
"Oh my dear friend, I understand your woes. And I think I might be able to help. Do you think you can venture a trip to Italy?"
"I will need to make some arrangements first but could be there in a few days. What is in Italy that could help me in my current situation?" I asked.
"It's hard to explain, you'll need to see it to understand. But dare I say it might just be the song to sooth your savage beasts." Aro chuckled.
A girl, but was she a sex slave or a vampire or something else? I heard a low growl somewhere in the house. Edward, snooping again.
"Aro, I should be there within a week. We can talk more then." I hurried.
"Ah Edward is listening, of course my old friend. I'll see you soon."
