It started with a whisper. Then a murmur. The Cullens stood up to the Volturi without dying? They left unscathed? Though no blood was shed on that day a seismic shift had occurred. in the past no one would even think a thought against the Volturi for fear of being discovered and now... now there were whispers among vampires that maybe the Volturi were not as unstoppable as once believed.
for months that's all it was. Murmurs. and then Sinclair was visiting family in France... a couple days later his head returned to Volterra on a pike.
This was the beginning of the end. The rest of the Volturi prepared for an attack... everyone but Felix. His worst fear was coming to fruition. He knew what was coming for them, what was coming next. Though he'd never breath it for fear of bringing it to life.
What came next was the dismantling of the Volturi. Aro, Caius, and Marcus thought they'd be safe with their body guards, Alec, and Jane... They were wrong. shortly after they left they too were all on pikes on the edge of Volterra.
Felix attempted to keep the Coven together but without their forced bond they splintered. The saving grace might have been Heidi. She convinced Felix, Demetri, and Santiago they'd be better off running together, and with the three most capable fighters she did run. When they finally arrived in the U.S. Heidi sprung her second part of her plan, a part that took significantly more convincing for the rest of the team... To hide and travel with the Cullens... and of course adopting their diet.
Demetri raised the most fuss, surprised completely with Felix' willingness to adopt it. Felix still to this point never voiced his fear, the only person who brought him fear. So he quietly adopted the diet, and with his influence Santiago and Demetri quickly fell in line.
Though there was initially some grumbling from Emmett and Rosalie the Volturi were accepted into the Cullen family. They were very fortunate because no one could have predicted what came next, not even Alice.
Worldwide Chaos.
Without the Volturi to fear vampires into responsibility unmitigated feeding season was the rule instead of the exception. The Cullens, who had now moved to Wisconsin appreciated the help of the former Volturi in killing any vampires that strayed to close to their home of Crandon Wisconsin. instead of burning them Felix started collecting the bones, save the head and cleaning them saying "something worse is coming."
And it did... a new Vampire breed came out. They were more primal.. They were different. Some were no more than mindless feeding machines, some were intelligent... but they all had the same features. In sunlight they burst into flames, They were, they were just as strong and fast as us, and though our venom had no effect on them... theirs worked perfectly fine on us. Also unlike us blessed weapons, and oak wood was the only weapons that could truly kill them. Blessed by a man of virtue, of the robe.
If that wasn't terrible enough Werewolves were also returning. They were plenty good at Killing vampires, all kinds... and just like everyone else seemed to show no sense of restraint. This horror spread across Europe, asia, africa, and came to the U.S.
What came next was the end of the world... as we knew it.
