Chapter 1: A Dark Begining
No one's P.O.V
It seemed like Aro wouldn't simply leave, even after seeing that Renesmee was not an immortal child. The other Volturi, who consisted of guards from different ranks, seemed all to agree, that the unknown was a danger. But before he could announce the final verdict, a voice from inside the forest called out, halting all movements.
"Wait!" The voice of Alice rung out, sparking a new emotion of hope from within the Cullens, even Aro was elated at her appearance.
"Ah! Dear Alice, how wonderful of you to join us." He said while clapping into his hands.
"Let us make a deal! " she proposed loudly to Aro, going no farther than half the way across the field. She kept her distance from the Volturi but also from the Cullens, which confused them immensely.
"And what can you offer us, that would make us change our mind? Do you take us as fools?!" Caius hissed, patience already running dangerously thin.
In that moment Jasper appeared, carrying someone in his arms. Every vampire immediately noticed that it was a human, the quick heartbeat gave it away. He stopped a few feet behind Alice and carefully set the human, who appeared to be a female, down on her feet. He steadied her when she started staggering, seemingly she had been carried for a while.
"Alice, what are you planning?" Carlisle asked, while Jasper led the female to where she stood.
"This human may be the only one who can save Renesmee now." She answered with a stern voice. Edwards expression was concentrated at first, trying to hear the thoughts of Alice in particular before it morphed into surprise and suddenly shock and horror.
Marcus P.O.V
This was all so tedious. The Cullens only kept prolonging the inevitable. I looked around the clearing, ignoring the talking of the others, until my eyes reached the... 'witnesses' they had gathered, gaze lingering in the child and the werewolf next to her. Another young life lost once again.
"No! Don't!" I heard the mind reader yell, just before I felt Caius move from my side. My eyes followed in hopes to find something of interest.
The situation had seemingly changed a bit from when I last paid attention, as the seer and the boy had moved towards us, or rather Aro, but were currently held back by a few guards, mere steps away from Aro. Caius had obviously finally found a chance to kill someone with a reasoning, the human an easy prey as she still stood where they had left her by herself. With the boy still in the grasp of the guards and the other Cullens too far away, she was defenceless against Caius. And another young life lost. With nothing else to do, I took the split second to really look at the female. She wore one of those white peacoats with a big hood, big enough to cover the upper half of her face as she slightly looked down. Her hands were covered in white gloves and she wore dark jeans and a pair of black knee length boots. With my enhanced sight I could easily see the movements of everyone. She started to raise her head, obviously wondering what the sudden commotion was about. Her head raised high enough for her hood to fall back slightly, revealing a pair of turquoise gems as eyes. The moment my eyes saw hers, something snapped into place, immediately activating my gift. The field filled with bonds of different strengths and colours, my eyes immediately finding what I was looking for. The golden bonds that started from each of my brothers and myself connected after short moment, attaching themself to a strand, no more than a single strand of golden silk, which flowed from the human. She was the one we had been waiting for all our eternal life.
And just as suddenly I noticed that we had no more time. Caius stood in front of her, arm already raised to strike, using his human speed just to show that he could and still nobody would be able to stop him. One single strike and she would not survive, a realisation that made my dead heart clench in terror. She raised her arms up in an futile attempt to block him but his arm was already descending on her.
"NO!" I roared, but even with my enhanced speed I wouldn't be fast enough.
After a few steps a blinding golden light appeared, forcing everyone who stood close by to shield their eyes, before a strong gust of wind appeared, pushing those too close to it away.
Caius had killed our mate.
