Years after the show down with the Volturri...
Some slight differences from Breaking Dawn. Alice and Jasper never appeared in the clearing, they just sent Kachiri, Huilen, and Nahuel. Alice had seen that they would
listen, but she had also seen the beginnings of a plan in Caius's head. Alice had continued to help by staying away, she knew that the Volturi knew of her visions and
that in order for their plan to attack later to work, they would have to be secretive and go in a round-about way in order to make it a surprise attack. Alice knew that
she would not be able to discern when and where the real attack would take place, so she stayed away and let the Volturi think that she and Jasper had abandoned
their family.
It had been almost 100 years since the last meeting with the Volturi in the clearing, 100 years since our show of witnesses had scared them off. Alice had said that
they would be back to slowly pick off our friends, the ones who gathered and prepared to help us fight them off if we could not convince them about Renesmee. The
Volturi had backed off because our numbers had scared them, they could not be certain that they would win.
My shield had protected us, at least from Jane and Alec's attacks. Now Alice had a vision, the Volturi were preparing to attack all of the witnesses. She told us that
they planned to attack the nomads first since they had no real ties to anyone, so that by the time the news reached us it would be too late.
The Volturi had not known that Alice had returned to us after the battle and she had been sure that everyone connected to the Volturri had left. Now, almost 100
years later, the Volturi were once again ready to attack.
