THE SCENT OF TWO NEW VAMPIRES OVERTAKES MY SENSES. My back straightens and I frown, they weren't invited. I listen out, listening to how they tease the wolves that chase them. In seconds, my family and I speed to stand opposite the two vampires who sit atop of a large boulder in the middle of the woods.
"Vladimir, Stefan, you're a long way from home." Carlisle calls out to the vampires, one a platinum white-blonde and the other a black haired man. I keep my gaze on the two vampires, before finalising they pose no threat to us after reading their thoughts. "What are they doing here?" Kate whispers out sharply.
"We heard the Volturi were moving against you. But that you would not stand alone." The white-blonde vampire with red eyes says. "We didn't do what we were accused of." Carlisle tells them and the blonde rolls his eyes. "We do not care what you did, Carlisle." He says before the black haired joins in.
"We have been waiting a millennium, for the Italian scum to be challenged," I throw him a look and take a step forward with glowing eyes and energy circling my hands, only for Jasper to gently pull me towards him and rub his hands along my arms. He sends waves of peace through me which stops my gift from rampaging.
"Not all Italians are bad." I mumble under my breath and the vampire looks at me. "It's not our plan to fight the Volturi." Carlisle says and the white-blonde clicks his tongue. "Shame." He calls out plainly. "Aro's witnesses will be so disappointed." He looks at the black haired vampire. "They enjoy a good fight." The man remarks before the two of them chuckle.
I frown at their words and slip into their minds. My eyes glow a crimson and they widen. They flicker back to gold as I leave their minds with a shocked look on my face. "Aro's witnesses?" Eleazar asks and the blonde tuts. "Aww, still hoping they'll listen?" He asks and his eyes move to my face.
"See, she understands." My family's eyes turn to look at me. I do understand, and I'm scared for what is inevitable to come.

"When Aro wants someone from a coven, it's never long before evidence turns up proving that coven committed some crime." Eleazar explains and I nod along. "So he's done this before?" I ask and he nods. "It happens so rarely I never realised it was a pattern." The man says and folds his arms over his chest.
"Apparently, he always pardons one person whose thoughts he claims are repentant." Carlisle says and I take the hand of Bella who sits beside me, she squeezes it and I can hear her thankful thought circle through my mind.
Thank you, 'Lulah.
No problem, Bells.
"This person always has an ability, and they're always given a place with The Guard." I look at Eleazar. "This is all about Alice." I point out and feel Edward's gaze on me. We lock eyes. "He has no one like her." Edward adds before I continue. "Which is why she left." I tell them and look at my husband who stands in the corner of the room with his arms folded over his chest.
"Why does he need witnesses?" Emmett asks. "To spread the word that justice has been served." Alistair speaks up and I look at him as he steps from the side of the room and walks towards the centre. "After he slaughters an entire coven." I look down at my hand free hand, letting whisps of magic dance along my fingertips. Bella squeezes my other tightly.
It's my fault. All of this is my fault, and mine only. Aro either wants me dead, or to join him. And I will never join him. Amun and his mate walk from their place and over to Benjamin and Tia. "Benjamin, Tia, we're leaving." The man says. "And where will you go?" The southern accent of my honey-blonde husband enters my ears.
"What makes you think they'll be satisfied with Alice? What's to stop them from going after Benjamin next?" Jasper adds and walks into the centre of the room. I keep my gaze on him, and only him.
"Or Zafrina, or Kate or anyone else with a gift, anyone else they want. Their goal isn't punishment, it's power. It's acquisition." Jasper tells them and everyone watches him intently. "Carlisle won't ask you to fight, but I will. Not just for the sake of my family, but also for the sake of yours. And for the way that you want to live." My eyes soften and I stare at Jasper with a kind smile on my lips.
Jake stands up from his place on the opposite side of Bella. "The pack's will fight." He tells Edward. "We've never been afraid of vampires." The Denali females stand. "We will fight." Tanya says with a soft but powerful voice. "This won't be the first time I fought a king's rule." Garret says and steps forward.
"We will join you." Benjamin says, causing Amun to look at him with wide eyes. "No." Amun shakes his head. "I will do the right thing, Amun. You may do as you please." Benjamin tells the man and I stand to my feet along with Bella. "We will stand with you." Senna says with a nod from Zafrinna.
"So will we." Siobhan of the Irish Coven says. Peter and Charlotte nod their heads to Jasper. I can see the relief that washes over Jasper's face at the sight of his friends agreeing to fight with us. "That didn't take much." Vladimir whispers to Stefan and my eyes flicker to him.
"Let's hope it doesn't come to that." Edward tells them and Alistair leans towards Carlisle. "We'll see." He says with a scoff and walks out of the room. Bella tugs my hand and I look at her. She motions her eyes towards Jasper with a small smile on her lips and drops my hand.
I smile brightly at my mate and take his hands. That was incredible, Jasper. You inspired everyone, inspired me. He chuckles at the words I push through his mind and relief washes over me — not from his gift. Pure relief and serenity that maybe, just maybe, it will all be okay in the end.

A/N- this fic is coming to an end and I'm so sad because it's my favourite one that I have ever written.
I had my Chemistry GCSE today and I smashed it! I genuinely think I've done really well because chemistry is my best and favourite science.
