Based off of Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight". No prior knowledge of the series is needed. A new site that needs active members; vampires, humans, and werewolves. Site plot is below. All characters but Volturi are all original. A very unique and original Twilight site, like nothing you've seen before...

Before times of written history, the fierce warriors of the Bruce clan protected the good people of Blackwillow. For many years they lived in peace with the surrounding clans. But in 43 AD Roman invaders had been pilliageing, settling and enslaving the "savage" Celts.

Duncan, the Laird of the Bruce clan, was concerned for his people and was desperate to protect them. His wife, Dona, mentioned Duncan should seek out the Druid Priestess, Arwydd. Dona knew that the priestess was powerful and would ensure the survival of the clan.

Arwydd lived high upon the Isla cliffs. Ducan traveled for many days to reach her. Arwydd was dedicated to the old ones and spent much of her time in meditation. She had a vision that a pestilence would befall the people of Blackwillow if no one stopped the Roman advance. When Duncan prostrated himself at her doorstep and begged for her intervention she agreed, but the solution would be on her terms and he would not question the outcome. Duncan agreed he would follow her instructions to the letter.

Arwydd asked that on Samhain, Duncan gather the strongest of his warriors. Once the festival had ended she would perform a ceremony to ensure that the people of Blackwillow would never fear invaders again.

On the night of the ceremony, each warrior was marked by Arwydd with a tattoo. The clan symbol was a wolf with a thistle in it's mouth. So it was only natural that Arwydd chose the spirit of the wolf to guide the warriors in battle. The tattoo that she branded them with was a wolf pawprint. She then gave each warrior a draught of a foul smelling liquid, she claimed would give them the strength and power of the wolf.

After the ceremony the warriors fell asleep around the embers of the Samhain bonfire and dreamed strange dreams. They dreamed they had changed into wolves and crashed into the Roman camps, and utterly demolished the invading army. It was so realistic that they would later claim they could taste the blood of the Roman soldiers.

The warriors woke the next morning covered in blood and their clothing in shreds around them. Reconnaissance showed that indeed the Roman army had been wiped out by an unseen force...ripped to shreds was more appropriate. When Duncan confronted Arwydd about the dream, she simply smiled and stated that she had solved the problem, just as he had asked.

She went on to explain that anytime the people of Blackwillow were threatened, the spirit of the wolf would enter the offspring of the Bruce Warriors.

Over the years the Bruce Warriors protected the land, now as the wolf spirits. They held off Vikings, French and English invaders. But nothing would have prepared them for the worst enemy yet.

The Battle of Culloden on April 16, 1746 happened not 15 kilometers from Blackwillow. Even that far away, the smell of death and blood seemed to seep into their village. Unfortunately, the blood attracted something far worse than the invading English. The strange group started to show about 3 days after the battle. They called themselves the *Virsolace family. The Virsolace were the only ones who seemed excited by the carnage.

The townsfolk were entranced by their ethereal beauty and pleasing manners. It wasn't until their true nature came out that the pleasure turned to terror. The Virsolace were vampires and once the supply of dying soldiers ran out they turned on the townsfolk.

The Bruce Warriors once again awoke and a savage battle for the souls of Blackwillow commenced. In the end the Warriors drove out the vampires, but the Virsolace swore they would return and claim this land as their own.

It has been over 200 years since the battle the sleepy town of Blackwillow has long since forgotten the brave Warriors that protected the town and its people. Their tales are now town legend only to be told in the town pub. Werewolves and Vampires are nothing more than fairytales...or are they?

A hauntingly beautiful family has moved into Blackwillow, followed by a savage past and terrorizing hunters bent on bloodlust. Will Blackwillow again be a battleground for good and evil? Is good and evil as easy to define as black and white or are there too many shades of grey? Will the sinister Volturi, have to step in and settle the peace or fuel the fire?
