Taylor Swan

"How is that fair, mom?" I looked at my daughter with a smile on my face. It has been a months since we learned about Maria and her newborn army. We were all anxious for her to make her move. The volturi contacted us and told us everything they found out about her army. It was a welcome surprise to hear them offer us assistance. Edward wasn't fully convinced Aro would help without wanting something in return. "Hello? Earth to mom!" I blinked, unnecessarily, and grinned at Sita. She looked like she was fourteen years old already. It worried me a little seeing as Amun, the half breed Alice tracked down and is now living with the Volturi said he never reached maturity till 15 years after his birth.

"You are not allowed to go to some party out in the Goonies, Sita."

"Why not? Jake is going to be there."

I rolled my eyes. "Not going to happen." Sita sighed and started to pout. "And don't you dare ask your father."

"What if I convinced Aunty Bella to come with me?" She grinned up at me hopefully.

"Where is Aunty Bella going?" We turned in the direction of the voice. Bella had a smile on her face as she sat down, She was practically glowing from her pregnancy.

"Mom won't let me go to a party." Sita whined.

"Bella is pregnant Sita, why would she want to go to party?" I asked her.

Sita shrugged. "Cause she loves me."

Bella and I both started laughing. "Is Jake going to be there?" Bella asked and Sita nodded. "Why not let her go then? She may look fourteen but she has the mind of an adult."

I glared at my sister. "Exactly, she may look fourteen but she is only still a baby."

Sita rolled her eyes this time. "If you want to blame this stupid age thing on something then blame it on the fact you didn't keep your legs closed."

"Sita!" I looked at her in shock.

"Why do you have to be so mean? I am not stupid, I am not going to get myself pregnant."

I stifled a growl and stood up. "I said no." And I turned and walked out of the room.

I ran into Cybelle on my way out the door. My mother with her goddess like features could pass for a teen model any day. Her eyes were a bright gold. She was turned into a vampire when I was younger and was on the run from the Volturi for her special gift. She had the ability to time travel, even as a human she was able to do it, but as a vampire all she had to do was think about it and she was there. Charlie, my dad was also a vampire, he got turned a couple months ago after I begged Carlisle to change him after he accidentally drove his car over a cliff. The two are officially together now, and no matter how happy it makes me I still hate running into them when they are in a heavy make out session.

"Mom." I said surprised. "Were you eavesdropping?"

She looked at me with mock horror. "Me? I would never."

I snorted. "Yeah right."

"Were you that difficult when you were a teenager?"

I shrugged and gave her a cocky grin. "Nah, I was worse."

"Yes, Bella always was the one with a good head on her shoulders." She laughed at my glare. "So why don't you want her going to this party?"

I sighed. "With every thing that has been going on. I just don't want her leaving my sight."

"Taylor, with everything that has happened, is the reason why you should let her go. Jacob will be with her, and I am sure Leah will be there as well." I growled at her name. "You know they will protect her."

I sighed again, knowing she was right. "Fine. Do you hear that Sita? You can go to your freakin party."

High pitch squeals were heard in the other room. "See, that wasn't so hard." Cybelle winked at me and walked away. Blasted woman.

"All right guys, we better head back now." I suggested. "The sun is setting and there is nothing more to see."

Howls were heard in the distance and I looked at the two vampires beside me. "I don't understand what she is waiting for." Jasper muttered.

"I am not sure." Edward answered. "I can not get close enough to read her mind. The newborns are no help, their need for blood is overriding any coherent thought."

"I am surprised the Volturi hasn't stepped in yet." I said,

Edward flinched but shifted back to his normal pose quickly. "They have offered their assistance in case we need it. They have wanted to bring Maria's reign to an end for a while now, but they never had the numbers." He looked thoughtful for a second. "Still don't I suppose, which is why they are hoping we will take care of it."

"Do you think we should just attack them Jasper?" I asked the God of War. "Instead of waiting for her to make up her mind."

Jasper shook his head. "She might be waiting for that. She must have found someone to control all those newborns. They are too tame."

"I agree." Edward answered. "Well shall we go?"

Jasper and I nodded in agreement and we bolted for the forest. I phased within the forest and took off towards Forks. It was a long run, but it was worth every second of it. Back at the Cullen house we sat around the living room while we shared our days progress. Admittedly it wasn't much more than any other day.

"So she is waiting for us to attack her?" Taylor asked after we finished.

"It is possible. But until she makes up her mind, I am blind. " Alice replied, looking frustrated.

"Well couldn't we make the decision to go to her and then you could see the future that way?" Bella suggested.

"We could try, but there is no guarantee it will work. One little choice could shift everything." Alice informed.

"Can't we ever get a freakin break around here?" Taylor yelled, making everyone jump. "This is ridiculous, I thought all the danger would disappear after I turned into a vampire.. But no, here I am all immortalized and we still have to fight the bad guys."

"At least this one is not after you this time." Jasper joked.

She turned her glared onto him, "This is no time for joking, I just want this over with. The waiting is killing me." Everyone laughed at that and Taylor made a grunting noise and took off outside.

"You would think she was the one pregnant with all those hormones she got raging." Bella muttered while holding her belly protectively.

"Can you even fight if your pregnant?" Sita asked her, we all turned to her, curious.

Bella smiled at her niece, her chocolate eyes twinkling. "I imagine I could if Maria ever hurried up and got here."

Sita chewed her bottom lip, her eyes glued to Bella's stomach. "What if we set a trap for Maria?" All the eyes in the room turned to her and she blushed.

"What do you mean sweetie?" Edward asked.

She shrugged. "You said she wants Uncle Jazz right? So why not set a trap and use him as bait" She looked quickly at Jasper. "No offence. This whole thing just reminds me of Victoria and her newborn army."

"Your right, it does have some resemblance to the psychotic red head." Bella smiled.

"Maria has been around for a long time, maybe even longer than Carlisle." Jasper explained. "I am not sure a trap will work."

"Then don't make the trap so obvious." Sita rolled her eyes. "I am sure her older controlled newborns are spying on us, reporting everything they see back to her. So you just have to find something that will make her want to come here quicker." She looked down at her watch. "Well I got to go. The party is going to start soon."

"Party? What party?" Edward asked, confused.

"Bye daddy." She kissed his cheek and ran out the door, Jake and Leah following behind.

"Did I miss something?" He asked.

"Cybelle convinced Taylor that Sita could go to this party with Jake and Leah tonight." Bella grinned at the glare Edward directed to Cybelle.

"I hate not being able to read minds." Edward grumbled as he walking out of the room.

"Well, that was fun, we should do it again some time." Esme stood up. "Whose hungry?" She asked cheerfully. Every wolf and Bella raised their hands eagerly. "Great, I will go cook up some supper."

"Sam, could I talk to you please?" Carlisle was standing beside me, and I nodded. Following him out the door and into the woods so no one could eavesdrop.

"My fellow newborns!" A voice screamed and a thousand pair of eyes turned towards the voice. "The reason for your creation is coming closer with each passing day." Roars erupted from the newborns. "Soon you will have all the blood you could ever want. We are going to take this State just like I took the South. With the help from you all my loyal pets we shall soon become rulers."

The newborns growled and roared with excitement as the owner of the voice left them to their own devices. Soon, she thought, Jasper will be mine. With a crazy laugh she ran into the night, looking for her next victim.
