Chapter one

Snow surrounded the child as she sat with the large thing that looked like a wolf or a dog. I hid behind a tree and watched the two carefully. My fingernails dug into the bark of the tree. The sound of large footsteps interrupted my train of thought and I ran up the tree. I crouched on a high tree branch to see a man and a woman with pale skin walking over to the child and the wolf thing. I looked to the man and a snarl softly erupted from my mouth. They all jumped and they looked around them to find me. I jumped through the trees to my campsite. My fire was still going as I walked over to warm up. The food was done thawing and I sunk my teeth into the meat and began to drink. There was a break of a twig and I heard someone breathing.

"It is not nice to spy on people when they are eating," I said. The person gasped and they tried to hide. "I know you are hiding behind that tree. Come and have something to eat."

"My mommy said not to speak to strangers," the voice behind the tree said. I looked to see a small little boy with curly black hair and gentle gray eyes from the light around us. I held up the meat and then he walked over to me.

"I am not going to hurt you," I said. The boy took the meat and sat next to me.

"You saved me from a bunch of bad guys that killed my mommy," the boy said.

"I did and now you are to stay with me until I can find a safe place for you stay. What is your name, little one?" I said.

"Jason Alexander Masen Volturi," the boy said between bites. I ruffled his hair and then put a blanket around him.

"My name is Allison and I am to be your guardian angel, if you want to call me that," I said.


Jason was asleep on my back as I walked down the trail to someone's backyard. There was laughter from inside the house as I got closer. I stood at the edge of the territory boundary and stared into the nearest window. Someone opened the back door and I saw the man and woman from the other day. They stepped out into the snow and the man put his arm in front of the woman.

"Edward Anthony Masen Cullen," I said. "It has been a long time since we last saw each other. It has been nearly fifty years since our last encounter."

"What are you doing here?" Edward asked. I shifted Jason's heavy body on my back and then looked at Edward.

"You owe me a favor from what happened fifty years ago. Allow us to pass onto your territory and then we can talk," I said.


Chapter Two

I put Jason into a warm bed with many blankets wrapped around him. He was sleeping soundly as I kissed his forehead and left the room. The Cullens were waiting for me in the living room. I stood at the doorway with my arms at my side.

"Allison, it is good to see you again," Carlisle said as he walked over to give me a hug. I smiled and hugged my father's friend.

"It is good to see you again too," I said. Esme came over with a large smile on her face. We hugged and she held my face in her hands.

"You have grown since we last saw you, dear," Esme said.

"Thank you," I said.

"Edward, who is this girl?" the newest one of the family asked.

"This is Allison Evelyn Masen Volturi," Edward said. "She is my baby sister from my human life."

"You said you were an only child," the woman said.

"Allison went missing before the illness came upon them. She was not found until Edward was turned and Allison was a teenage girl turned into a vampire; the same age as when you and Edward met, Bella. Allison was nearly killed by a man that had kidnapped her," Carlisle said. I looked at Bella and saw how much she affected Edward. He picked the right one to change and make one of them.

"She is just like the others, Edward," I whispered. Edward snarled and I smiled. "Eddie, you are not going to kill me are you? I am your baby sister after all."

"Wait, you are human still and you are not dead or old," Bella said. "Have we met before this moment?" The girl from earlier came in with a teenage boy with black hair.

"Jacob Black," I said. He froze and stared at me with shocked eyes.

"Allison, what are you doing here?" Jacob asked. Edward walked over to me and he pulled me into another room. Bella and Jacob followed us and Edward sat me in a chair.

"What is that you need so you can leave me alone?" Edward snarled. I got out the chair and stood up with our faces close.

"If you are going to treat me like that then I can take Jason and leave," I said.

"It is about that child you have? What did you do to him?" Edward asked. Bella and Jacob stood at a safe distance.

"Jason does not remember the people he loves, Edward. I am afraid I will lose him," I said. Edward calmed down and he put his arms around me.

"Allison, please do not think that way," Edward said. I buried my face into his chest and cried. Edward rubbed my back gently until I stopped crying.


Jason ate everything that I made him for breakfast. I sat next to him with a cup of tea in my hands. Carlisle and Edward were in another room discussing what I told them of Jason. Bella came in with Jacob and a small girl. I looked at them and knew Bella had some questions for me.

"You can get the questions answered later," I said. Jason looked at me and then he patted my arm. "Yes, sweetheart, I will get you some more."

"He did not say anything, mommy," the little girl said. Jacob put his hand on the girl's head and then he looked to me. I got up to get Jason some more food and more tea for me. Carlisle and Edward came into the kitchen.

"Renesmee, could you leave us please?" Edward asked the girl.

"Yes, daddy," Renesmee said. She left the kitchen and Edward reached for Jason. I ran over and smacked his hand away from him. A loud growl erupted from my throat. Jason hid behind me as Edward stepped away from us.

"Do not touch him unless I say so," I growled.

"Allison, we are just trying to help you and him," Carlisle said.

"What is she?" Bella asked. I looked to her and then to Edward.

"She is a vampire with the power of the elements around us, like air and fire and so forth. Allison is a gifted one of your kind and she is even more marvelous in a fight," Jacob said. Jason held onto my hand as he hid his face into my leg. Bella caught a peek at Jason and then she looked at me. Carlisle stepped closer and then I growled once more. Alice and Jasper ran into the kitchen with Esme.

"Don't touch him," I growled. I heard Jason whimper a little bit and then he started to cry. He wrapped his arm around my leg and he cried more. I felt a pull on me as Jasper tried to calm me down. "Enough of that Jasper or I will rip your head off your neck and throw it in the river!"

"Allison, please remain calm, you are scaring Jason," Alice said.

"Mommy, please stop this," Jason cried. I became stiff at his request and then tears came to my eyes. "Mommy, don't hurt anymore people for my safety. Let's just go home and be safe with daddy."

"Jason, you know he is not happy with us," I said. Jason let me go and I fell to the floor.
