Dear Diary:                                                                          June 9, 2014

          So Hells Angels huh? That's great. I mean I've never seen them in person but everyone who hasn't been living under a rock knows who they are. Their reputation isn't the best. But that didn't stop them from rolling into town taking all of the oxygen around and replacing it with diesel fumes. As we watched they rode on down the street like they were so used to the spectacle that they made. Rogue watched them with narrowed eyes as Corin and Amy joined her. They looked at the bikers as they faded away down the street and then returned their eyes to Rogue who at that point hadn't even blinked. Before she could utter a word:

"Ain't they a laugh riot?"

        A sarcastic male voice said behind us all. We turned around to see Agent Scott Kramer shaking his head and looking at us. Well that's not good. What would bring Scott back here? He nodded his head away from the tent and we all followed him out including Esme who closed it up for the day. We decided to go someplace quiet and talk. That place eventually landed us back home at the main Cullen residence. We all sat inside because it was drizzling outside and there wasn't a point in getting wet. So Scott sat down and started to rub his hands against his pants like he didn't know where to begin.

"Those were demon bikers?" Rogue said with astonishment reading Scott's thoughts. We looked at him wide eyed as he nodded, very glad to at least get that part out of the way.

"Yes....thanks for...you know....doing that. The FBI has been dealing with your run of the mill outlaw bikers since...well forever it seems. But this, this took everyone by surprise. I mean I knew about the existence of Watchers, vampires, and werewolves but demons? So you can imagine when the big wigs in the main department in DC got wind of this what the reaction was. And the real bizarre thing is that these bikers don't even really hide who they are."

"That is weird. Do they have a name?" Rogue asked as Scott got up, walked up to his briefcase and pulled a file out of it that he then handed to Rogue who opened it and with narrowed eyes practically devoured the file before closing it and exhaling.

"Demons from Hell. How original." Amy said glancing over Rogue's shoulder and rolling her eyes.

"That's their name?" Jacob asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I didn't say it wasn't cheesy." Scott said.

"But that's not the point. What is the FBI's stance on this?" Rogue asked.

"Ready for this? They have decided to create their own.....oh how should I put it....X-Files to get as much information on these guys as possible. Apparently other than doing the usual extortion, fraud, murder, and what not, they have been doing some other, other worldly activities that no one knows about. Nobody thinks anything they do in that department is harmless either." Scott said pacing the room.

"This is bad on so many levels." Alexander spoke up as we all turned to him, he continued: "Don't you see? The FBI knows the existence of demons! Who's to say in the time of their investigations, they won't find out about the rest of us? We can be as sneaky or as inconspicuous as we want. The humans are now aware of an otherworldly menace amongst them. Who's to say they won't decide to find out absolutely everything?"

"Exposure." Corin whispered.

          Our minds were reeling from what Alexander had said. He was right of course. The feds had plenty of resources; even those we didn't know much about. Full exposure to the world at large would be catastrophic. I just flashed through all those crappy end of the world disasters you see on in the movies from some alien or demonic plague. We had to do something but what. We really have to find out what we are going to do with this. At that point Scott looked at us and said:

"I wanted you to be the first to know. I knew Rose would need time to put a plan together." She nodded obviously the wheels in her head were turning at supersonic speed.

"There has to be more to this then just a bunch of demon bikers. I know the Cullen's and wolves haven't dealt with demons save for the few they met in the Underworld on the other side. But we have and there's always something extra. Demons aren't stupid so there's something up their sleeves. They surely don't want to cause the world to know about them. They would end up losing; granted eventually plus we don't know how many of them there are. Scott can you find out? I'm guessing you're on the case huh, Mulder?" Rogue said with a small smile.

"How'd ya guess?" Scott replied sarcastically.

"Well you are the best they got and if they ask, you can say you're using me as a consultant. I, as they know, am the Queen of weird so I'll be your Scully." She said with a smile.

"And here I thought I was the pro on weird. But I've never seen demons before." Bella mumbled and got a hug from Edward. Seth who was quietly listening up to this point raised his hand and asked:

"Um...guys....who's Mulder and Scully?" He got a lot of eye rolling for that one.

"Who's Mulder and Scully? You've never watched The X-Files?" Rosalie asked exasperated. Seth shook his head.

"He would have been too young, Rose. Leave him be. It was a show in the 90s about two FBI agents investigating the paranormal; mostly aliens. I have the whole show on DVDs; I'll give them to you, ok? " Jasper spoke up surprising everyone as Seth nodded with a smile.

"Cool, thanks dude."

          At that point, Esme got up from the couch and walked over to her purse and took out the business card from the guy who liked her work who stopped by earlier that day to talk to her about publishing a crocheting book. She had decided to call him and tell him that she had decided on doing it. We all supported her. With all this end of the world talk it wouldn't hurt to do something a bit more positive and life-worthy for lack of a better term. Just as that last thought entered my brain, the ground started to shake again. Another earthquake? Rogue nodded and rolled her eyes. Apocalypse Now much? This was getting a little eerie. If the quakes were due to regular plate tectonics, why was NH experiencing so many tremors and though I didn't know much about earthquakes or natural disasters—that was Rogue and Esme's department—I could feel they were very slowly increasing in veracity. And what the hell did that mean?

          After the earth stopped shaking, Esme called the guy from the publishing company. His secretary answered:

"O'Leary's Publishing Company, this is Kendall, how may I direct your call?"

"Yes hello, my name is Esme Cullen and I would like to speak to Mr. O'Leary please." Esme said softly.

"Is Mr. O'Leary expecting your call?"

"Well no but he did give me his business card earlier today with an offer so I would really appreciate speaking with him."

"Oh of course, one moment please." And Esme was put on hold. It was less than 2 minutes later that we all heard Mr. O'Leary's voice answer.

"Mrs. Cullen? It is so nice to hear from you. I must admit, I didn't expect to hear from you so soon. Not to say I'm not pleased of course." Smooth operator.

"Yes Mr. O'Leary, I didn't think I was going to do it so fast but then I spoke with my husband and the rest of my family and they all highly encouraged me to do it now as opposed to later. I mean why wait right?" Esme finished with a little laugh.

"Of course, of course....life is too short to put things off, I always say. Especially with that little tremor we just felt. Did you feel it too?"

"Yes we all did. Those are getting a little disquieting."

"Well you shouldn't worry yourself over something so small. After all everything happens for a reason and these plates or whatever move for a reason....to keep the world spinning and what not." Mr. O'Leary said.

"Why yes of course, I suppose so." Esme said slightly taken aback.

"I'm sorry....didn't mean to get all philosophical on you Mrs. Cullen. Last book we published here was full of those things; I had to reread it a few times so I guess some of it got stuck in my head." He said sounding embarrassed.

"I understand. Well how does this work now? Do I come and meet you or do I put material together first?" Esme asked uncertainly.

"Well if you give me your email address, I'll send you a template of our basic book publishing and you can just follow that. Afterwards, you can send it back to me and than we can set up an appointment to meet in my office. How does that sound?"

"Sounds perfect. Any particular deadline for this?"

"No need to rush; if you can get it back to me in the next few weeks or so, I'd really appreciate it."

"Alright, that works for me as well."

          After giving her email address to Mr. O'Leary and exchanging farewell pleasantries, they hung up. We all smiled; looked like my Esme was going to be very busy for the next few weeks. That's good as it should keep her focus off this weirdo demon situation. Meanwhile, a knock on the door startled us out of our thought process. Bella went to answer it and came back smiling with the mail. She waved an envelope at all of us; before we could ask her what it was:

"Guess who's getting married in two weeks?" She said looking at Seth, Nessie, and Leah with a huge smile.

        They jumped up and went to look at the pretty invitation. We all smiled as the invitation was passed around as everyone ooh'd and ahh'd. Just what we needed, a happy day to celebrate the union of Charlie and Sue; Bella, Nessie, Leah, and Seth spoke excitedly about the upcoming nuptials.

        If only we knew the absolute topsy-turvy rollercoaster of absolute insanity we were about to get thrust into; before we were plummeted into total darkness that revealed horror beyond our wildest imaginations as well as answered quite a few questions from the last year we would have been a lot happier for that bit of sunshine.
