PREFACE

It has been five years since the confrontation between the Volturi and the Cullens took place. All seems well;

Alice and Jasper have been welcomed again by their family after learning that they took off to search for the greatest witness to prove that Renesmee is not a threat, which is Nahuel.

Edward, Bella and Renesmee travelled the world to have special memories as the latter grows rapidly.

Amun, together with his coven went back to their place and gives Benjamin a little bit more freedom.

And the others, back to their own haven, with the exception of Garrett who now joins the Denali coven for his mate, Kate.

The Volturi? Well they've been quiet for a while saving face for the embarrassment they had with the false accusations of Irina that led them to attack the Cullens believing they had committed a "crime" and trying to seize the moment to take with them Alice and "her gift".

After seeing what could be the aftermath of battling the Cullens and their witnesses, Aro told his coven that the young hybrid gives no danger and his entire coven leaves staying low with their activities, waiting for another moment to destroy the Olympic coven and to have Alice join the ranks of the Volturi Guard.

Meanwhile, suffering from the loss of their sister, Kate and Tanya together with Garrett and the couple Carmen and Eleazar, resumes their lives in Alaska.

They have been silently living in their house only going out to hunt and to satisfy their need to feed. Garrett has been practicing "vegetarianism" with the help of his mate, Kate, and has been successful for the last five years. He has been grateful for Kate for she is the one who changed his views on consuming human blood as a diet and the one who really captured his heart.

It is just not Garrett who is very grateful for his mate, but Kate also feels the same. Ever since she met his rugged mate, her smile never faded in her pale white skin, on the exception of Irina's death. He completes her, he lets her know what the world outside Alaska feels like, she enjoys his stories about the American Battles he had participated and last but not the least, he loves her for what she is; to the point that he is willing to change his lifestyle just to be with her.

Tanya looks from the window of her room as she sees her sister and Garrett playing happily outside the house, running from each other and throwing snowballs to each other's faces.

Carmen, who is sitting on the couch feels the gloominess of the room as she stands up and approaches their coven leader. "What is it that bothers you, my dear?" she asks. She knows that the death of their sister Irina causes her leader's pain but still thinks that the question should be initiated.

Tanya moves away from the window as she faces her coven mate to answer her query. Trying to pull a smile not to let Carmen worry about her she speaks, "Do not worry about me my friend. I have moved on from the last disaster our family has faced and thus; accepted what all had happened. In fact I am happy that Garrett here has joined our family."

It is true. She had overcome the loss of her sister Irina for she believed that she would be happy now having a chance to be with Laurent. Ever since the death of her mate her sister had been sad, alone and cold to others, especially to their cousins for she was discarded her chance of revenge to the wolves.

Tanya respected the decision of Carlisle. The wolves had nothing to do against the Cullens and truly, Laurent was the one who dared hurt Bella and the wolves had just defended the human. And now the sadness that envelops their house is gradually changed by the happiness that flows from the new love that blossoms between Kate and Garrett.

But she cannot hide her uneasiness from the vampire eyes of Carmen. The latter has known herself for too long to know when there is something that clouds her mind.

"Then why is it that I sense fear in your golden eyes?" Carmen still insists to ask her coven leader. She wants to help in all her power to relieve Tanya of the tension that builds in her. Tanya, knowing that she cannot get away from her curiosity, finally lets herself share the thoughts that's bothering her.

"I know that for these past years peace have come to our kind, especially now that the Volturi is still recovering from the shame that they had from the last confrontation. But still, they are the Volturi. They will not just simply stay silent for eternity and let this slide up. As the leader of our coven, I am afraid that the time for their revenge will come up and I will not be able to protect all of you."

If only vampires could cry, Carmen would see the tears rolling down on Tanya's smooth pale white cheeks. All she sees now are the silent sobs of her leader, her friend, and her sister as she shares her fear for their immortal lives.

As she ponders Tanya's words, Carmen feels the reality of fear that they should readily face. The power of Volturi is not to be underestimated. Though Jane's illusionary pain abilities can be blocked by Bella, she is nowhere in sight right now as well as Edward who is the fastest among vampires. There are also much capable fighters among the ranks of the Volturi guards, most who have "gifts" that Aro had collected for over many centuries. Their numbers are too large to compare which proves them to be intimidating to fight with.

"We must believe in ourselves and our capabilities Tanya. If we do not, then who will? There are only few who will stand against Volturi and it proves to be our family and friends. Carlisle also feels what clouds your mind and I believe that he and our cousins are preparing for that unavoidable battle. We must be strong. It's the strong bonds that we have that are our advantage against Aro and his coven. The bonds that each one of us carries through our minds not to let another comrade fall."

Carmen hold Tanya's hands as she led them to the window pane looking outside to the view of Kate and Garrett who are still playing outside the snow. "Have you noticed that Kate has been eagerly practicing her gift? Eleazar told me that she has been expanding the limit of her power."

Tanya looks at Carmen as the latter meet her eyes. It seems to her that her sister is also anticipating the fight against the Volturi and has been preparing for it ever since the confrontation.

A/N: Thank you so much for reading this first work of mine. I am not really knowledgeable in the twilight's book details.

I hope you enjoyed reading this story. If you have anything to say just lemme know. I just recently joined few hours ago so I do not know much how the system goes here. :)
