What if a fight had occurred at the end of Breaking Dawn? What if the Volturi had won? And if Bella, Edward, Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett, Carlisle, and all of the other Vampires with special powers had been captured, but Esme, the werewolves, and the Vampires with no special powers had been killed?

Bella's POV:
I held my breath, waiting for Aro to decide if he would call for the attack. He seemed deep in thought, probably weighing the chances of either side winning.
Edward tried to comfort me, hugging me closer. "Don't worry. The Volturi are cowards. They won't fight if there is even a chance that they will lose."
But with their superior numbers, it was clear to me who the obvious winner would be if a fight erupted. Them. I could only hope that they would be too cowardly to even risk losing some of their fighters.
I clutched the brown bag that held the fake ID papers for Jacob and Renesmee, ready to hand it to them at even the slightest hint that Aro would signal for the attack. I could see it now. They would win, and we would be taken.
I glanced around at the rest of my new family with the hope that they would seem optimistic. No luck. All their faces, even lighthearted Alice's, were set with grim expressions.
All of a sudden, Edward breathed in sharply, and my head whipped around to look at Aro.
Aro's expression hadn't changed, but I knew what his decision would be before it came.
He nodded silently, and then all hell broke loose.
