SITTING ON HER BED, Lorelai grunted ever-so softly as she made several failed attempts to wrap her fingers around her small bicep. She was doing anything she could to take her mind off of what she saw just a few hours before this very moment.

"Have you lost your mind, Alice!? We can't just let a human into our house!" screeched an agitated blonde by the name of Rosalie Hale. She whipped around to the boy with honey-blond hair, Jasper Hale. She glared at him and declared, "This is your fault."

The pixie-like girl called Alice Cullen shook her head and frowned. "That's not true," she argued with her falsetto voice. Her topaz eyes fell on the aforementioned human. "She's so frail that you can hardly hear her heartbeat, never mind smell her blood under all that cigarette smoke. Besides, I saw her in my visions. She's important!"

Lorelai would've asked if that was a compliment or a diss had she not been so utterly fucking confused. There she was, sitting on the couch in the Cullens' household shortly after stumbling into her doctor's son eating an animal alive. What the actual fuck, man.

All around her were the otherwise considered "town weirdoes." Lorelai had always known that the Cullens were... peculiar. They kept to themselves. Quiet but polite. Everyone knew of Carlisle around Forks, but no one knew anything about him. The Cullens being supernatural creatures was easily the last thing Lorelai was expecting.

If anything, the Cullens being vampires was Lorelai Swan's last guess. Witches, maybe, but not vampires.

"What are we supposed to do?" demanded Edward, otherwise known as the boy Bella Swan had taken a strange liking toward. "Can we truly trust that she can keep our secret?"

Forgetting that the vampires in the room each possessed superhuman hearing, Lorelai mumbled, "I kept an eating disorder a secret for awhile."

Clicking her tongue, Rosalie looked the bony girl up and down with cold eyes as she said, "It was never much of a secret."

"Rosalie," warned Carlisle, attempting to reign in his children, who, in reality, were just vampires of his coven. "Everyone, we need to be rational."

"Exactly!" barked Rosalie. "Why is no one agreeing with me?" She scowled as Emmett took his girlfriend's hand comfortingly.

Lorelai would've made a run for it had Carlisle not been involved. He and his wife seemed to be the leaders of this coven, which was impossible to wrap her head around. All this time, Lorelai saw them as this unnaturally beautiful couple with unnaturally beautiful adopted children. Sure, two of their kids were dating each other, but they technically weren't related, at least.
