Chapter 1 Alec's POV

"Alec?" Aro's voice rang out from behind the door. "I have an assignment for you!"

I eagerly flitted to the door of my private quarters. "What?" I asked.

"We are visiting the Cullens." I groaned. This was a trip I did not want to take.

"We are going to kidnap Renesmee," he said, giddy, completely oblivious to the fact that I already did not like the idea, whatever it was. I reached my hand out to him, thinking 'read my mind, already fool; go bother someone else with your plans.'

Aro ran through my thoughts, his facial expressions giving away nothing. He dropped my hand after 2 seconds.

"Alec, do what I say, I know it is not pleasant, and you don't like it, but do you want Jane to suffer all alone?"

"Fine, what is this hare-brained plan?" I was highly annoyed.

"If Renesmee is with them when we go to see them in three weeks, we will convince them that we are giving her proper training with us, being the youngest half-vampire, she is highly vulnerable. Alice will know when we decide, no doubt, she knows right now, but she will not know why, because Renesmee gets in the way. We will keep our thoughts hidden from Edward, all you've got to do is think of things other than what you want to think about."

"And me and Jane" I asked, doubt that this will not work slowly leaving.

"They might want to keep Renesmee as far from the confrontation as possible, so while we are distracting them, you will be searching the forest. If she is with them, Demetri will find you afterwards, if you find her, bring her here."

I grinned. This was the life I wanted, action and adventure, even though being a vampire was still tough, even after centuries and centuries. "I'm in." I said.

Alice's POV

The vision hit like a tornado hitting a house. The Volturi, again? Why wouldn't those bastards leave us alone? Aro's decision to visit us, as far as I knew, was of good intentions, but still. I had to call an emergency meeting. The entire family sat around the dining room table. Renesmee was only three, psychically 10.

I explained it to them, they are coming here, and I didn't know the reason why. I didn't have to be asked who, they already knew, except Renesmee. They fired questions.

"Why?" Esme's voice was concerned. Typical Esme.

"She doesn't know," Edward said, highly annoyed.

"How many?" asked Emmett.

"Now what? How many more times are we going to have run-ins with them for them to stop annoying us?" Jasper said aggravated.

"Who will it be?" Bella asked.

"That's a question I can answer," I said, making them shut up. "The ancients and the wives,"

"The wives?" Carlisle interrupted. He was obviously curious about what made them find that fit. They had only left the tower once.

"Yes and the majority of the guard, everyone except for two…" my voice trailed off as I tried to concentrate on Alec and Jane's futures? Why would the most powerful members of the guard be left behind? Because of Bella's power, did they think they'd be more useful at home? I doubted this was it as I would still be able to see them. I was hoping they were dead, but they were hazy, rather than blank.

"Who was left behind?" Rosalie questions.

"Surprisingly," Edward says, "Alec and Jane."

"That makes no sense." Said Jasper.

"Thank God, I will not have to worry about keeping my shield around the right people." Bella said.

"What did they do; were they kicked out of the Volturi?" Rosalie and Emmett asked in unison.

"Was it because of Bella's shield; are the more useful guarding home?" Carlisle wondered.

"Did they die or something?" Esme asked. She, even though they tried to kill her granddaughter and her entire family at least once, sounded like she didn't want it, But that's just Esme.

Edward was the only one not asking questions, because he knew as much as I did, and he knew that he did.

We decided we would fight them. There was nothing to prove this time, nothing to explain, nothing misunderstood. Nothing to make up for the truth, to hide it. They were just trying to get rid of us.

We explained to Renesmee what was going on, and she was as scared as we were. I didn't have to be Jasper to know that. Bella was taking her to see Zafrina, Senna, and Kachiri in the Amazon; they were going to track down Huilen and Nahuel as well. Edward was going to get the Egypt coven. Rosalie would track down the Romanians. Carlisle was going with Emmett to find the Irish. I would find the nomads. We called the Denali's and they'll be here in 2 weeks. I gave everyone directions to find their assigned people.

2 weeks later

Zafrina, Peter, Charlotte, Kachiri, Senna, Benjamin, Tia, Huilen, Mary, Randall, Garrett, Kate, Tanya, Elezear, Carmen, Siobhan, Liam, Maggie, and of course, as it involved fighting the Volturi, Vladimir and Stefan. That was who we were able to find, and that's only the ones who wanted to come. Amun and Kebi didn't want to and we couldn't find Alistair.
