Bianca's POV

"What are the Immortal Children?" Angela asked as Shawn stood behind her.

"Children who are turned at a very young age." Carlisle explained, looking at a book.

"Why would anyone want to turn a young kid?" Reyna asked.

"They can't be taught in controlling their thirst." Esme spoke up. "They remain in their child-like state."

"The Children were a danger to us and the law of keeping us secret." Alec agreed.

"The Immortal Children were very beautiful. So enchanting. to be near them was to love them. But their development was frozen at the age they were turned. They couldn't be taught of restrained. A single tantrum could destroy an entire village. Humans heard about the devastation. Stories spread. The Volturi were forced to intervene. Since the Children couldn't protect our secret, they had to be destroyed." Carlisle explained as he hands us a book on the Immortal Children.

"Their creators grew very attached and fought to protect them. Long-established covens were torn apart. Countless humans slaughtered." Felix added. "Tradition, friends, even families. Lost."

"The Volturi gave the order that Immortal Children must be killed." Jane sighed. "This is the reason why Irina did what she did. Alec and I met her once before. When her mother..."

"So, the Denalis' mother made an Immortal Child?" I asked.

"Yes." Carlisle confirmed. "And she paid the price."

"They killed her and the child." Lars deduced, to which Jane nodded.

"Well, our kids are nothing like those children

"Well, our kids are nothing like those children." Xenia argued. "They were born, not bitten. They grow every single day. As for Jonah and Damon, they were already half-human, half-vampire when Jane, Lars, Shawn, and Angela adopted them."

"So, can't you just explain that to the Volturi?" Paul asked. "They can't just kill us without getting our side of the story."

"Aro has enough proof in their thoughts." Edward replied.

"So, we fight." Jacob argued.

"Their offensive weapons are too powerful." Jasper spoke up. "Alec and Jane were once part of their guards, being worse than any of them combined. Even worse when all four of them combined."

"Well, then we convince them." I spoke.

"They're coming to kill us, not to talk." Emmett reminded me.

"No, you're right. They won't listen to us." Edward replied. "But maybe others can convince them. Carlisle, you have friends all around the world."

"I won't ask them to fight." Carlisle sighed.

"Not fight. Witness. If enough people knew the truth, maybe we could convince the Volturi to listen." Edward explained.

"We can ask this of our friends." Esme said as she turned to him, rubbing his arm.
