Chapter 1

We stood and watched as they approached. The Volturi, almost as though they were dancing, a completely organized and perfectly illustrated dance. I stood with my family and my friends, knowing that if things did not go the way we hoped, some of us would not be here.

Ella's POV

I sighed in relief as Alice danced across the clearing. A grin grew on my small lips; everything was going to be alright.Risking a glance, I saw Aro's face deflate but at the proposition of finding Nahuel's father inflated. I didn't even stop the snicker as I imagined what could happen to him. My eyes swept through the Volturi's ranks. Locking eyes with each and every vampire, that was my mistake. The moment my eyes landed on him, I couldn't look away. Green locked with red.

Oh shiz! This is bad.

I cringed slightly, hoping with all of my being, he didn't open his mouth. No such luck. I watched with fearful eyes and growing horror as he glided over to Aro and whispered the damning news.

God? What have I ever done to you? I mean come on ma, couldn't you just have let this one slide?!

The clasping of hands and the almost giddy laugh of Aro brought me back to the present. I glared at him. I unleashed my most horrific glare and Aro's smile grew.

"Carlisle, old friend it seems that something of great importance has presented itself." He chimed.

"Kill me now" I hissed and everyone turned and stared at me.
