When morning came, everyone walked to a large opening in the middle of nowhere. Renesmee, Bella and Edward were in the front, while the rest of us scattered around them, but still stayed close. Renesmee wanted me to walk with her and her parents, I stood beside Edward, Renesmee's and mine uneven hearts beating loudly in our chests. My eyes scanned the empty area, but my ears listened behind me.

"If we live through this, I'll follow you anywhere, woman." Garrett said, I looked behind me to see Kate smirk up at him.

"Now you tell me?" She retorted, I smiled lightly, but sadness filled me. I should be happy for them, but I feel like I'm loosing my best friend. Edward grabbed my hand and gave it a firm squeeze.

"Renesmee asked us to ask you, if you wanted to stay and become a Cullen. She could use a big sister." He said, I looked over at Bella and she nodded, smiling at me, I smiled back, nodding my head. That's when the sounds of feet could be herd, I snapped my attention back to the other side of the field.

"The redcoats are coming

"The redcoats are coming. The redcoats are coming." I could practically feel Garrett bouncing up and down. The Volturi had a large group of vampires, large enough to out number us.

"Aro's looking for Alice." Edward spoke, quickly. The wolves then joined us, each wolf standing next to or two wolves standing next to each group of vampires. Jacob, stood next to Bella.

The Volturi stopped a hundred feet from us, all of them taking down their hoods. Aro standing out above the rest because of his rank, being the number one vampire, at least in his thick head. Carlisle steppes forward, as he did, I walked over to Esme, who took my hand in hers and squeezed it.

"Aro, let us discuss things as we used too. In a civilized manner." Carlisle said.

"Fair words, Carlisle. But a little out of place, given the battalion you've assembled against us." Aro spoke back.

"I can promise you, that was never my intent. No laws have been broken." Carlisle said.

"We see the child," Caius began, "do not treat us as fools."

"She is not an immortal!" Carlisle spoke louder. "These witnesses can attest to that. Or you can look. See the flush of human blood in her cheeks."

"Artifice!" Caius growled.

"I will collect facet of the truth." Aro said, "but from someone more central to the story. Edward, as the child clings to your newborn mate. I assume you are involved." Edward looked down at Renesmee, gently placing his hand on her head. Bella pulled Renesmee behind her, placing her between Jacob and herself. He began walking towards Aro, Bella trying to shield him, but lost her concentration.  I then walked over to Bella, she looked at me and I nodded.

"If you're going to show us your power, do it now." Bella said, I nodded. Unzipping my vest, I closed my eyes and breathed in and out three times. My bones started snapping, I could feel the eyes of everyone on me, but I continued anyways. Pure black angel wings sprouted from my back, I had to rotate my shoulders to get used to them, since it's been nearly three months since the last time I sprouted them. They were six feet tall, ten feet in length and had horns where they bent. As Aro finally let go of Edward's hand, he noticed me right off the back, but then his attention went to Renesmee.

"I'd like to meet her." He said, Edward turns and looks at us, Jacob growls. Bella takes Renesmee's hand and starts walking, Jacob moves to Bella's other side and I move next to Renesmee. We walk a few feet, turn and look at Emmett, he starts walking with us. When we reach the Volturi, I stare strait at Aro, watching his every move.

"Ah. Young Bella." Aro begins. "Immortality becomes you." He then laughs like a lunatic and points to Renesmee. "I hear a strange heart.." he trails off and looks at me, "two strange hearts." He looks as though he's going to touch me, I hiss at him.

"Don't even think about laying a hand on me." I say, he looks taken aback, as though he wasn't expecting someone to say such a thing to him.

"How dare you say that with disrespect!" Caius yelled. "You will show us respect or-"

"You have to earn respect from me. I will treat you however, I see fit." I stepped forward, showing him I wasn't backing down. "You don't own me."

"DJ," Edward spoke, I looked at him and he shook his head. I stepped back but didn't lower my guard or my hard gaze.

Renesmee slowly steps forward, Aro's hand is held out, as he lightly bends down to her gaze. She looks at his hand, then back into his eyes, she has more courage than any of us combined.

"Hello Aro." She speaks softly, she places her palm on his cheek, showing him her memories from the time she was born to now.

"Magnifico!" Aro whispers. He pulls away from Renesmee. "Half mortal, half immortal. Conceived and carried by this newborn. While she was still human."

"Impossible." Caius spat.

"Do you think they fooled me, brother?" Aro asked Caius with a slightly threatening tone. As Aro's back was turned, Jacob growled and snapped at them.

"Jacob," He looks at me, "let's go."
