Unwanted Cullen

Book 2 || Chapter 3

It turned out that not all of Carlisle's friends really wanted to help us but when he called his friends from Denali, they said they would help us, very urgently too.

It was probably because they were probably still trying to make amends from what happened last time with Irina.

After that call, when Carlisle asked his friends most of them said they would be happy to help, due to whatever reasons they wanted to bring the Volturi down, it was none of our business.

"It seems like everyone has agreed to help us to defeat the Volturi, those who denied to help us had their reasons so please don't hold that against them" Carlisle said, mostly to Emmett who was a very judgmental person.

"Alice? when are we going to fight the Volturi?" I questioned.

"When the snow clears." She answered simply.

Maybe I'll actually live to celebrate Christmas this year, if not It'd be a real shame.

I mean I bought the presents last month, and I'm pretty sure I can't get my money back now.

"We'll definitely be ready by then" Esme said trying to lighten the mood.

I gave her a small smile, though it probably looked like a grimace since I'm not really in the mood to smile.

"When do I train again?" I asked out loud to no one in particular.

"Now or later, your choice"

"I'd much rather train right now, but what about all of you? Shouldn't you guys train now too?" I questioned.

"We're going to train with the pack tomorrow morning, however you need to figure out all of your abilities if we're even going to have a slight chance. How about Alice trains you tonight and tomorrow we all train"Edward suggests.

"That's fine" I say simply.

It would honestly be a relief, training so I can help win the fight, after all I'm the one who got them in this situation.

Alice motions for me to get up and go train with her, I get up and we go outside, it was really dark out but I could see perfectly fine.

"Okay, so what abilities do you know you have right now?"

"Umm, well... I can read minds, uh- control the four elements, and I think that's it" I say.

She seems to be thinking so I don't say anything else.

"I'm going to get Edward over here to test something" She said whilst walking towards the house calling his name.

I nod and Edward appears in no time, "I want to test some things," Alice begins.

"I want to see if you can control the mind and make anyone see what you want them to, like Zafrina "

"Uh.. okay" I say remembering the time when Zafrina made me see her home and it was really beautiful, filled with trees and flowers and animals

I stare into Edwards eyes and try to make him visualize the warm La Push waters, he seems to be in some sort of trance, I quickly stop and his eyes return to the gold color they normally are.

"She can, she made me see the La push waters"

Alice nods and says, "what if you have Alec's ability? That would certainly be very useful"

I freeze at the sound of Alec's name, I hadn't thought about him in a while... I wonder what happened between him and Jane.

Hopefully she forgave him, but I don't really know since after our little 'fight' Aro chatted with us and let us leave with the conditions and such.

But I shouldn't be thinking about him, he is the enemy after all.

"I probably won't, plus I can't have everyone's abilities.. isn't that like impossible?" I ask.

"It's not impossible but you certainly could be an exception since you technically are part of the Volturi"Edward says.

I glare at him and walk off, how could he even say that? I am no part of the Volturi and I never will be. I can't believe my own family would even say that.

"I didn't mean it like that Carlie, I meant that since Alec is a part of the Volturi and he was the one who turned you then that makes you part them by blood." He says catching up to me.

"But I'll never join them so it doesn't matter if I am part of them by blood"

"Yes I know but we could be at an advantage if you actually joined them, not for real though but like you could trick them into thinking that you are truly devoted into being one of them that you'd go against your own family"

"I guess that could work but I don't want to be in with them again." I say.

"It's fine we can just go with our original plan but if you change your mind just tell us so we can have a better chance of winning"

"Okay" I lie knowing that I won't change my mind.

"It's almost time for the sunrise, we should go and get ready for training with the pack" Alice suggests walking towards the house.

"Yeah we should" Edward says following her.

Maybe I should try tricking the Volturi into thinking I want to be a part of them.
