The morning that Mia arrived was very cloudy, and this pleased Bella because Edward was with her, and it annoyed Edward because he wasn't particularly looking forward to meeting someone who knew what he was.

"She should be arriving in that terminal," Charlie said, pointing to terminal three. They sat down in the uncomfortable steel chairs and waited. Bella didn't like being at the airport, it brought back memories that she was trying to repress. They watched as plane after plane touched down on the runway and finally, the one that they were waiting for landed. They stood up and walked to the exit area and waited as people filed out. Bella was the one to spot her.

"Mia!" she called out, waving her arms to get her cousin's attention. Mia looked around after hearing her name being shouted out and finally found Bella, crazily waiving her arms in the crowd of people. As she walked closer to them, she noticed a boy around her and her cousin's age standing next to Bella. He didn't look too happy to be there, yet didn't look hateful either.

'I guess that I will just have to keep an eye on him,' Mia thought as she fought her way through the crowd.

"I can't read her thoughts," Edward whispered to Bella. Bella looked astonished, but didn't say anything on the subject for Mia reached them and began to hug her fiercely.

"I missed you too… ouch!" Bella said as Mia squeezed her.

"Sorry, it's just been so long," she said letting her go and turned to give her uncle Charlie a hug.

"It's good to have you with us," he said as they let go.

"It's good to be here," she responded and then turned to Edward, "And you must be the notorious boyfriend, Edward," she said, holding out her hand.

"And you must be the infamous cousin, Mia," he said, shaking her hand.

"That's what they call me," she said. Edward raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything for Charlie interrupted his thoughts.

"Sorry, guys, but we really need to be going. I have to work in a couple of hours and I still need to get into uniform," he said as he ushered the three kids to his cruiser.

~*~

Once they made it home, Charlie rushed in and then back out for work, leaving the other three to settle in. Once he was out of sight, Mia turned to Edward and Bella.

"So, she tells me that you are a vampire," she said.

"Unfortunially," he said back.

"What? Aren't you proud of being a vampire? Proud of having to kill to survive?" Mia asked, crossing her arms. Edward didn't seem to be fazed by her comments, but she did notice his hands clinch.

"Is it not the same as you, killing for the flesh that you eat?" he challenged.

"That's different. You see, we kill animals…" she began.

"As do I," he interrupted.

"Are we sure about that? Who's to say that you don't secretly kill humans and just say that you aren't?" she questioned. Edward glared at her.

"What have you got against me? I've never crossed you," he said. A moment passed. "And why can't I read your thoughts?" he demanded.

"Because I'm very skilled in Occulmency, the ability to block others from getting into your head. You can't read me unless I want you to," Mia said.

"Well, I know for a fact that he doesn't feed on human blood," Bella piped in.

"And how is that?" Mia argued.

"What color are vampire's eyes?" Bella asked.

"Red, of course. The color of the blood that they drink," Mia answered like it was the stupidest thing to ask.

"Look at his eyes," Bella said, smiling. Mia sighed and looked at Edward. She then took a step closer to see his eyes better after a moment.

"Honey… they are honey colored… but how?" she asked in amazement.

"Because he feeds off of animals and he just fed before we came and picked you up," Bella told her. Mia then looked deep into Edward's eyes and opened her mind to him.

~*~

Edward saw a younger Mia in her room at night; she didn't look any older than eleven. She was sitting on her bed reading a book when a scream was heard from another room. Mia ran from her room and down the hall to another door that busted open without her touching it. Standing there in the middle of what appeared to be a boy's room was a dark figure holding a boy about Mia's age, its mouth at the boy's throat.

The boy's and Mia's eyes locked and then the creature dropped him, screaming as its mouth started to burn away. The boy lay on the floor, his blood pooling around him and smiled at Mia as he closed his eyes for the final time. After seeing this, Mia screamed and a serge of raw power exploded out of her and finished the being off. All that was left was a smoldering skeleton with enlarged canines.

~*~

Edward blinked and then caught Mia as she began to fall, her body suddenly weak.

"What happened to her?" Bella asked, oblivious to their exchange. Edward carried Mia to the couch so she could rest.

"She showed me what happened to her brother, the reason that she detests vampires," Edward said, a little dazed. "I think that she can project images of memory and thought," he said.

"Wow, maybe that was what drained her…" then a thought hit her. "Wait… a vampire killed Thomas?" she asked. Edward nodded.

"He died in front of her eyes," he said.

"And the Ministry of Magic covered it up and said that he killed himself. He would have been our age and would have gotten his Hogwarts letter the same time I did… the very next day," Mia said slowly, sitting up on the couch after regaining some of her strength. "The restrictions and regulations of magical and human-like creatures came in and 'worked their magic' so to speak and all they could come up with was suicide," she said.

"I never thought that Thomas could kill himself. He was so happy," Bella said sadly.

"I don't intend on killing Bella," Edward said to Mia, seeing that that was what worried her about him. She nodded.

"I can see that you care for her, so I believe you," Mia said. At that moment, Edwards's cell phone rang.

"Yes?" he said, answering it in a flash. He listened for a moment. "I'll be there in a few," he said and snapped it shut with his fingers.

"Who was it?" Bella asked.

"It was Alice, she said that two vampires are heading to the house and they will be there soon," he told her.

"Well, I want to go," she said and stood next to him.

"I don't think that that is a good idea. Remember James?" he asked.

"Yes, I do and my scars still hurt, but they will smell my scent anyway. I might as well be there so they won't try to find me and hurt someone in the process," Bella said logically.

"True," Edward said.

"If she goes, I go," Mia said, standing after her energy returned.

"Fine, but be careful. I don't want you two getting hurt," he said sternly and walked out the door with the girls following. They climbed into Edward's silver Volvo and raced to the house.

~*~

After they got to the Cullen's house and to the entrance door, Edward stopped.

"This house is full of vampires and they are like me. The only one that you might have to keep your distance with is Jasper, but only because he hasn't been in our 'practices' for as long as the rest of us. He knows to keep his distance, just don't cut yourself," Edward warned Mia, while giving a look at Bella. Mia nodded and they walked into the house.

"I'm here," he said softly, knowing that his family could hear him. All the others came down the stairs and greeted the three and introduced Mia quickly to the group.

"So, when are the other two vampires supposed to be here?" Bella asked. Everyone turned to Alice as she got a blank look on her face.

"What's happening to her?" Mia asked softly.

"Alice can see the future, so to speak. But not everything is written in stone, things can change," Bella told her in the same volume. Alice blinked her eyes and then came back into focus.

"They could arrive any second. They are traveling very fast," she said. Edward looked to Carlisle and then nodded. Protect the girls. A few agonizing moments passed when the doorbell suddenly rang. Esme stepped up to the door and looked at Carlisle, her husband. He gave her a nod and she opened the door.

"Welcome to our home. Please, come in," she said, ushering the two strangers into the living room where everyone had moved to. Mia involuntarily stepped behind Edward. She could see clearly that the two vampire's eyes were red.

"Thank you for your kindness. I know it's not everyday that you receive strangers to your territory," the one with black hair said.

"It's our pleasure; we don't mind visitors, so long as you don't hunt in or near this area. I'm sure you understand the reasons," Carlisle said to him.

"Yes, that will be no problem. I know that you want to keep a peaceful life here," the man said.

"So, what brings you two to Forks?" Carlisle asked. It was what everyone was asking in their minds.

"Forgive me, I haven't introduced myself. My name is Rowen. We are here for my friend, Dray, here. He wishes to join your family and your practices if you will have him," Rowen said. The Cullen's turned to the light haired boy.

"Is this true? Are you ready to give up your old ways, Dray? To follow in the difficult ways of, as we call it, a 'vegetarian' diet?" Edward asked him.

"Yes, I am. I have been ready for a long while, it's just hard to when you live in the city that the Volturi control," he explained. "I don't want to kill human's just to sustain my damned life," he said. Carlisle nodded and then introduced himself and the family to him, and they each shook his hand in congrats. When he got to Bella, who was standing next to Edward, he stopped and suddenly sniffed her, which made Edward stiffen.

"I see that you do really value human lives as everyone says you do. Your smell is familiar, yet different… wait, it's not your scent, it's someone else's on you…. Like lilacs," he said. He looked behind Edward, where Mia was hiding. Mia finally got a good look at him and she gasped.

"Dr…. Draco Malfoy?" Mia asked, astonished. He looked at her closer, trying to figure out how she knew his actual name. Then suddenly he remembered her from his fading human memories.

"Her…….Mione?" he realized, just as shocked as she was. She nodded, making her hair stir the air around them. "You smell wonderful…" he said in almost a daze.

"Oh, no! Edward! Get Mia out of here, quick!" Bella shouted at the same time as Alice, who suddenly was hit with a vision of what Draco was about to do. Edward picked Hermione up and rushed her into the third floor bathroom with Alice on his heals carrying Bella. Once there, Alice grabbed a bucket from the linen closet while Edward was looking in the cabinet under the sink for something. He pulled out a bottle of bleach. Alice disappeared and then was suddenly back in a flash with two coal-filter masks.

"Put these on," she said, handing the masks to the girls. The two didn't argue, for they were pretty sure that right now, they would have lost.

"The bleach will keep him from catching the scent. That way he's not drawn up here," Edward explained as he poured some into the bucket and then rubbed some on the outside of the door.

"Oh, you two are such babies! Just think how horrible it is for me with my heightened senses!" Alice suddenly said when she noticed the girls' red faces from trying to still hold there breaths with the masks on. Alice and Edward exited the bathroom and shut the door when Esme walked into the adjoining bedroom.

"Emmett has him restrained. He's not trying to get Mia now; he's throwing a fit in guilt for going after Hermione like that. And I don't think that me meant to, it was just a sudden shock to him that Mia's blood sang for him," she said sadly.

"I agree, but I don't regret them coming. It's better for him to have caught her scent here with us to protect her if need be than to have him catch it elsewhere and have him decide to go looking," Edward said.

"True," Esme said in sympathy. The three walked out of the bedroom and down the stairs. The moment Draco saw Edward, he began to apologize.

"Edward, please forgive me! I had no intentions to attack anyone, human or not! It just that her smell was…" he said.

"How did she smell to you?" Edward asked.

"Like…" he looked to the floor sadly. "Like purple lilacs in first bloom at the beginning of spring… My mother's favorite flower, the sweetest of them all…" he answered, his voice full of sorrow. Edward looked into his mind briefly. From the carnage that he had seen, he knew why it seemed to hurt him so much.

"Her blood sings for you," Edward said, sympathizing with him. Draco looked up with actual tears in his eyes, making everyone gasp in shock.

"Yes," he whispered.

"You can cry?" Rosalie whispered in awe. "But how? Vampires can't cry."

"I guess the same way that I can make my heart beat. I think that I could walk among humans without anyone being the wiser if it weren't for my unusual skin reaction to the sun and my abnormal eye color," Draco said. "I know Hermione… We used to go to magic school together and right after graduation, a newly awaken vampire bit me, but my friend Rowen here pulled him off of me and saved me, but the vampire got away. Even though he blames himself for what I am, I still owe him my life, or whatever version this is," Draco explained.

"Whatever you say, Dray," Rowen said sarcastically, crossing his arms over his chest. Draco took a deep breath.

"It's safe to bring the girls back down, I'm ok. Her smell just hit me off guard," Draco said.

"I know how it is for you. Bella's blood sings for me, but I will never bite her. I could never hurt her… Are you sure that you're ok?" Edward asked.

"I'm used to being around humans, I just wasn't prepared. But not anymore," he responded. Alice nodded and then disappeared quickly up the stairs to relieve the girls of the bleach. The three returned to the living room slower. When Hermione reached the bottom of the stairs, Draco walked up to her slowly. She tensed but didn't dare move.

"I'm really sorry, Hermione. I had no intention to attack you, your scent just caught me off guard and I am very sorry for scaring you. Forgive me?" he asked, holding out his hand. Hermione could smell the sweetest smell imaginably on his breath and it dazed her for a moment, but she snapped out of it.

"I forgive you," she said and slowly took his hand. The moment that their hands touched, a spark flew through them and their eyes locked onto each other. They stayed unmoving for a long moment before Draco slowly let go and stepped forward even slower. He wrapped her in a comforting hug.

"I will never do anything to you; I will keep you safe… I promise," he whispered to her.

"What happened?" Edward asked. Draco let go of Hermione.

"I don't know how it happened, but once our hand's touched, I could see what happened to her brother and I could feel her pain, hurt, anger… I don't want to be something else that she fears," he said.

"She can project memory and thought, but you can pull the same from someone, right?" Edward asked.

"Yes, only I wasn't trying to," Draco answered.

"Neither was I," Hermione said as well. Suddenly a scent hit every vampire's noses, but only Rowen and Draco hissed in distaste.

"Why do I all of a sudden smell dog," Rowen asked. Edward reached his mind out to the surrounding area.

"Bella, its Jacob. He wants to speak to us on behalf of his pack," he said.

"Pack?" Hermione asked, confused.

"He's a werewolf. And I thought that he might actually have the decency to want to talk to me, but no…" Bella said, going into a rant.

"Now's not the time for that, love," Edward said with his crooked smile. They all walked outside with Carlisle, Edward, and Bella leading.

"What do you need, young Jacob?" Carlisle asked politely.

"The pack is wondering why there are two more bloo… vampires on the lands that we weren't informed about," Jacob said between clenched teeth. His body was visibly trembling.

"They just arrived not too long ago and I was going to inform your tribe shortly. I will need to discuss with Billy and the pack about a matter concerning one of our guests," Carlisle said. "Please tell your father that I wish a meeting. If he agrees, have it be held in an hour. He can phone me with his answer if he wishes," Carlisle said, bowing slightly with respect. Jacob, no matter how much he naturally hated vampires, respected Carlisle and did as he was asked. Just before he ran off, he caught Bella's eyes and mouthed, Miss you, and then took off. Bella smiled a little to herself and then followed everyone back inside the house. Draco sat down on the couch with his head in his hands, taking deep breaths through his mouth.

"Draco? Are you alright?" Hermione asked. Draco looked up at her and she noticed that his eyes were a darker shade of ruby.

"Yeah, just a headache," he said. Emmett walked up to him.

"Common, I'll take you out to hunt," he said. Draco nodded and followed him outside. Carlisle turned to Rowen.

"We have to talk to the La Push tribe about Draco joining our family…" he began to explain.

"I already know about your treaty with them but the Volturi don't. I won't tell them about it though," Rowen said reassuringly.

"Thank you, Rowen," Carlisle said, relieved.
