The Cullens meet a new vampire, Kara Valhos, who proves to be a formidable ally in the War against the Volturi.

I don't own any of the Characters besides a select few in each chapter as the Cullens and Kara embark on their dark adventure.

If you haven't read any of the Twilight books- that won't matter. :] it's just a story I came up with!


Chapter One: Alice has Visions.

The Cullen Family stood around one of the newest members. Bella was still a newborn under many circumstances, and she couldn't seem to get a control on that damned thirst long enough for them to get any business done. The Cullens had exhausted most of their resources, warring with the Volturi. Dark and desolate, soulless creatures whose existence threatened human lives everywhere. And yet, Alice kept hoping...for something, or someone to help their cause.

Edward thought his sister's quest for some unknown savior was childlike and foolish.

No one was coming to their aid.

They would die along with the thousands of other Vampires who dared to stand against the Volturi.

Alice grabbed her hand in a flurry of emotion. A smile playing across her small lips. "Yes! I told you Edward." Alice sneered in confident anger. She'd said the words loud enough for the entire family to understand her meaning, but to him she said; "I told you she would come." And there she was. Their supposed savior. A small girl with bright green eyes and the most innocent look crossing her face. How was she going to save anyone? Edward demanded in his mind. She looks no older than twenty, and most defiantly human.

Alice just continued to smile, almost to a point where Edward's precious control would snap. How he wanted to kill some of the Volturi, and yet he'd been denied his kills, only to save his mate. At the thought of her, Edward glanced towards Bella. A look of guilt crossing his perfect immobile features. All he wanted was for her to be safe. She was just a distraction in the throes of battle, his concern for her so great it almost pained him. Edward would never allow another Volturi to hurt his mate...and the one who had, would pay...with his life. Edward snarled loudly.

"Edward what is it?" Bella's soft voice broke through his thoughts, soothing him. Jasper, had been sending calm waves to ease his warring mind...but Bella's help was stronger. A bond they'd formed years ago. "What's wrong?" Bella asked again, standing beside him. When had she moved? Edward shook his head and Bella took it as his answer.

"It's nothing Bella." Edward sighed grabbing the bridge of his nose. The gun was pressing into his lower back like a future omen. It was begging to be used.

"Well what does this girl have to do with anything Alice?" Bella asked turning from Edward to her sister with a questionable look across her features. Gods she was so beautiful, Edward thought absentmindedly.

"She's the only pure-blooded vampire left." Was Alice's only explanation. Edward could see the confusion that hung thickly in the air. His families' thoughts were aligned with his.

"Vampires cannot be born." Jasper said his mind trying to sift through his thoughts.

"On the contrary," Carlisle began, his voice soft yet calming. "I'd once heard a story about a band of vampires, they called themselves the Bastards." The entire Cullen family stared at their father, their leader, as he spoke. "These warriors were said to be direct descendants of the Scribe Virgin."

"Who?" Bella asked, taking a seat next to Edward on the couch.

"The Scribe Virgin, She was the one who created all vampyres." He took a deep breath and ran a hand through his ash blonde hair before continuing. "They are what protected us from all the foes we've faced, until one day, they were hunted by the Volturi."

"They weren't vampires then?" Bella asked, confirming the story with his own question.

Carlisle shook his head slowly, "Not exactly. They were able to die, but it was much more difficult to kill them. The story goes that the Volturi has locked them up inside the Castle they live in. I'm not entirely sure this story is based upon fact, but if a pure-blooded vampire exists, then it is most undoubtedly a child of the Scribe Virgin." Carlisle finished in a rush, his hand clasping roughly on Esme's.

"We must find her then, and unleash the protectors." Emmett said with a smile. "I'd like to give the Volturi a run for their money, and they need to stop attacking our friends and allies." Emmett added followed by an audible growl from Jasper.

"I agree." Esme said slowly, tearing her gentle hand from Carlisle's. "We find the pure blood and then we fight the Volturi."

"How do we know the girl would help?" Rosalie asked, standing in the middle of the room, her hands upon her hips. "What if we free those Virgins' or whatever they are and they don't want to help? Or they hurt some of us?" She demanded throwing her blonde hair over her shoulders.

"That is a possibility we must think of." Carlisle agreed with a small shake of his head.

"But we can't sit here and do nothing." Alice complained throwing her hands against her thighs in frustration. "This war is never going to end, and my vision says this girl will help, so she must."

"Alice, your visions are subjective." Edward reminded her. "They're based upon the actions of the person your looking at, they can change as quickly as the girl's mind normally does." Bella stood up in that moment. Her hands falling to her sides as she straightened. Edward was always proud of the way she carried herself, always the gentile woman he'd imagined he'd settle down with.

"I think we should atleast try to get help from her." Bella said, her voice quite against the other's louder voices. "If she doesn't want to help, then so be it. We can't force anyone to do something they wouldn't want."

"It is decided then." Carlisle's tone left no space for any more objections. Their new mission was to search out this pure-blooded vampire, and hope to the Gods that she would help them!
