Strangers

Bella's P.O.V

It's been a year since we've moved back to forks. Renesme is fully grown now and she's in a loving and wholesome relationship with Jacob. We've all been going to school and we're starting our junior year. I've been trying to find some time to visit Charlie's house and pick up whatever he might of left there that could clue people in on our secret. Nobody has lived there since Charlie died.

"Bella honey? Is something wrong?" I turned to Edward and smiled. All these years and his beauty still takes my breath away. You know, if I could breath.

"Nothings wrong. I was just thinking, I need to stop by Charlie's house soon." I said and he nodded.

"Yes he might have left pictures that could end badly." He said. So we decided to run over and grab anything that shouldn't be there. Boy were we in for a surprise when we got there. As we pulled up in Edwards volvo I noticed a large black truck sitting in the drive-way. I could hear people inside. Edward parked the car a couple blocks over and we ran back to listen in on whoever was in there.

"It'sa pretty nice house." I heard, it was a girls voice.

"Yeah, I wonder why it's been so long since anybody's lived here." A boy said.

"I don't know. Maybe the last person that lived here died in the house and his spirit still lingers." The girl said in a creepy voice.

"Yeah right, you and I both know where spirits go when they die." The boy said.

"Hell." They both said at the same time. I looked at Edward, he looked shocked.

"Do they really think everybody goes to hell?" I muttered though I knew he could hear me.

"Not just that. I can't hear either of their thoughts." Edward said and I did a double take.

"You can't hear them? Weird." I muttered.

"Lets hit the sack. Hey where are those boxes you found? The ones with all the photos?" I started. They found pictures.

"I left them in the kitchen." The girl said.

"Did you close and lock all of the doors and windows?" The boy asked.

"Yup, every single one." the girl said.

"Good, if any you know whats try getting in, they'll be in for a nasty surprise." The boy laughed along with the girl.

"I set a lot of traps, weapons and fire and all that, Hades himself couldn't sneak in without getting his arm chaopped off in the process." The girl said. Okay this conversation has lost me.

"Come on Bella. We'll find a way tomorow. I want to do some research tonight." Edward said and I nodded. We ran back to the car and drove home. While Edward typed away on a lap top I filled everybody in on what we heard.

"I found it." Edward said. I turned to him and I saw a website with a picture of a statue on the side. The statue was of a man in long flowing robes, he held a helmet under one arm and a long staff in the other. I was so life like I could easily see how cold and relentless the mans eyes were.

"Hades?" Carlisle asked looking at the website.

"God of the Underworld. One of those people mentioned him in their conversation. She said Hades himself couldn't enter without having at least his arm chopped off. It says here that Hades best weapon was called the helm of darkness," he pointed at the helmet under the statues arm. "It was said that wearing the helm he could become darkness, he could stand in the shadows and watch you, and it would be impossible to tell." I shuddered at the thought.

"Maybe they're greek, you know they have a strong beleif in greek customs or something." Esme sugested.

"It's possible. But why would they set up so many traps?" Jasper asked.

"Monsters? There are a lot of monsters in greek myths, maybe they beleive that if they set up traps like that, any monster that comes after them in the middle of the night or something will get caught and killed." Alice said.

"Can you see them Alice?" Edward asked. She shook her head.

"Two more blind spots in my vision. They're about as clear as Jacob and Renesme." She said bitterly.

"So they're imune to Edward AND Alice's gifts? This is getting too weird." 

"How old do you think they are?" Jacob asked from the couch, his arm draped around a snoozing Renesme.

"Probably around sixteen or seventeen. If so they'll most likely be at school tomorow." I said.

"At least one of us should get close to them and figure out what's going on." Edward said.

*The Next Day*

"Mom are we going yet?" Renesme asked me.

"Two more seconds I said. Two seconds later everybody was in the living room ready to go.

"Everybody remember the story?" Carlisle asked.

"Jasper and Rosalie are brother and sister, Emmett is my older cousin. Mom and Alice are half sisters and dad was an only child." Renesme said.

"Oh and Jacob is just my boyfriend." Renesme said remembering the last detail. I nodded smiling at her. She's grown up beautifully.

"We should go now." Edward said and I nodded. We left and it barely took us ten minutes to get to school. We just stood around the car waiting for the bell.

"Edward." I said nudging him. We watched as a huge chrome truck pulled into the parking lot. Two people climbed out, a girl and a boy. I wouldn't be surprised if they were the kids from Charlie's house. I could hear them talking from here.

"So then it came at me, with these huge claws and I was like PLEASE don't let it be poisonus." The girl said. I glanced at Edward.

"And?" The boy asked.

"It was." They both burst out laughing like huge clawed poisonus things were normal.

"Typical, so how'd you get out of that one?" The boy asked.

"Well it swiped at me a couple times, I dodged, deflected, dodged and stabbed it right in the neck. Dragged the blade down and ripped a lung out." She said. You know how all vampires have a warning system to tell them when danger is close? Well mine was goign crazy saying i have to avoid these kids. I don't know what kind of animal it was she killed, but something tells me it wasn't some snake.

"Lets go get our schedules junior." The boy laughed.

"Don't laugh you're the same age as me." She snapped.

"No I'm older."

"By two hours hot shot." She muttered and they stayed silent as they got to the doors.

"Those two aren't normal." Alice muttered.

"They smell weird." Jasper commented.

"Yeah I noticed. The boy smells kinda like the ocean and something else I can't put my finger on." Emmet said and I nodded.

"The girl smells kinda like the wolves onle...... better and with that same industinguishable scent." Rosalie notted. (A/N For those of you who haven't figured it out, the weird scent is the ichor in their blood.) Who are these two? And what are they here for?
