this story takes place 6 years after Breaking Dawn.

Knock, knock, knock.

I went to the door, wondering who would be there at this time of night. I flung open the door, and there stood Carlisle. His eyes were dark and he looked troubled. He said, "We need to talk. Go get Edward." I rushed off to our room where Edward was.

He was by my side in seconds, and we both walked into the living room. Judging by his face, he had read Carlisle's mind.

Carlisle said, "I just found out something that will change our future forever."

"What is it, Dad?" I asked.

"The Volturi have been overthrown." He watched as my face changed to shock. Of course, Edward was not as surprised.

I said, "Who could possibly overthrow the Volturi?"

"There was an ancient coven that many were unaware of. They have been building strength for thousands of years. When they heard about us, they realized how to overtake the Volturi."

I frowned, "Is this good or bad news?"

"I am not certain yet, but we will know in a few days."

Then Edward spoke up, "They intend to visit us."

"When?" I asked.

"Alice did not know the exact date, but it will be soon."

"Why are they visiting us?"

Edward smiled, "If you haven't noticed, we aren't exactly normal vampires."

At that instant, I realized why they were coming. Six years had passed since I became a vampire, and Jacob and Renesmee were getting married soon. It would seem strange hearing of a half-vampire and werewolf wedding. Alice sending invitations to everyone she knew probably did not help, either. I was sure every vampire in the world knew our names.

Carlisle still looked uncomfortable, he had more to say.

Edward said, "Tell her the rest."

"We're not sure yet if they will allow Renesmee and Jacob to be together."

I looked at both of them, "What should we do?"

Suddenly a very sleepy Renesmee walked in. "Would you guys keep it down out there? Some of us actually sleep!" Edward chuckled, and she glared at him. "What are you talking about, anyway?"

I said, "We have something to tell you." She sat down, and all three of us took turns giving the news.

When we were finished, she gave us a puzzled look. "So, they're coming to see Jacob and I?"

"Yes," I said.

"That, and our curious life style," Edward added.

"What's the plan?"

Carlisle spoke up, "That is what everyone else is trying to figure out."

I said, "Then let's go to your house." We left our cottage, and I carried Renesmee so we could go faster. When we opened the door, we were met by loud voices. Everyone, even the werewolves, was there.

Jacob rushed over and scooped up Renesmee. He watched lovingly as she fell asleep in his arms. Poor Renesmee was probably very tired, as it was the middle of the night.

Carlisle asked, "Does anybody have any ideas?"

Emmett smiled, "I do!"

"What is it, Emmett?" asked Carlisle suspiciously.

"No," Edward said quickly.

Just as Emmett was about to protest, someone spoke up. "I know what to do. We will put together an army, like last time."

Carlisle considered it, "That might work, and everyone will be at the wedding, anyway."

With all the chaos, I had forgotten about the wedding. "What if the new leaders disapprove of it?"

"We'll talk to them when they get here," was all he said.
