I was sitting up in a tree. It was actually quite comfortable.

I had listened to Jazz tell Bella his story about why he was changed and I was quite proud of him. I know it was very hard for him with all the emotions it brought up. Jazz can tell exactly what others are feeling but when it comes to his feelings he is kinda closed off. So I know telling that story was a good thing for him.

After I saw Jazz and Ali starting a make-out session I quietly jumped down and pulled Bella away from my annoyingly adorable siblings.

"Hey, Alex?"

"Yeah, Bella."

"How are you so good at fighting?"

"Well. A year after I was changed I asked Jazz's help so I could learn how to fight so if I needed to I could defend myself. My brother taught me how to fight so I knew the basics but I didn't know how to fight a vampire let alone a newborn if I came across either. So Jazz taught me and we've been doing it ever since."

"That was nice of him."

"I know. And I'm very grateful that he helped. I don't know if I'd be here if he hadn't taught me."

"What do you mean?"

"... In 1985 I was traveling across Europe after my family moved back to Canada. This was a bit before I stayed with the Volturi. I came across a small army of newborns. There were five of them plus their creator. He had just started creating them. The creator didn't want anyone to find out yet so he sent his newborns on me. I very luckily managed to decapitate them all and burn the pieces. Now, this was a time when I wasn't as well developed with my powers because believe me if I had my powers it would've been so much easier." That story I ¼ lied about. But few know the real story, my whole family included, and I intended to keep it like that for a while.

"Wow, great job."

"Thank you, Bella."

Don't worry your eyes didn't deceive you. I'm actually wearing heels that aren't for work, forced, or on boots. All of my heels, the heel itself, are made of carbon steel and painted to match the color of the heel. It makes my kicks a hell a lot stronger. With one kick to the nose, I can decapitate a vampire. I used them my entire traveling away from my family. I decided to pull them out again.

I'm getting sidetracked. My family and I are in the field. I'm shielding myself from all senses but touch and sound. I would've done sound but my brothers said no encase I needed help. They need to learn I'm fully capable of handling myself. And finally, our shape-shifter friends are hiding.

I can hear the newborn army and oddly I'm not scared.
