Chapter Three

I awoke to someone sitting on the bed and blocking the sunlight from my eyes. Jason was sleeping next to me with his arm over my abdomen. I saw Edward sitting on the bed with a gentle smile on his face. He touched my face and I smiled at him.

"You did not eat well before you came here," Edward said.

"I was not able to feed both of us during our journey here," I said.

"Carlisle wants to ask you some questions before you leave again."

"Is it about what Jason said earlier? Or is it about what I said?"

"More of what you said."

Edward helped me out of the bed and he pulled a blanket around Jason. We left the room to find Carlisle in his study with Alice, Jasper and Bella. Bella looked me over with Edward's hand on my back to help me to a chair. Carlisle walked over to me and he sat in a chair next to me. I looked at Alice with a scared look on my face.

"What made you run from Italy?" Carlisle asked.

"Jason is to become one of us on his eighteenth birthday. He will be taken into the Volturi's hands to become one of them. Jason is the rightful heir to the Volturi place," I said. "My beautiful little boy does not remember his own mother and father at times. His father was angry with it that he blamed me for it."

"Allison, where is Jason's father and who is he?" Edward asked.

"Jason's father is in Italy," I said. "I cannot tell you who he is though."

"It is Felix, isn't it? You had another child with him again and you are afraid of history repeating itself," Edward asked. I buried my face into hands and then I cried.

"My sweet baby boy," I cried. Carlisle touched my shoulder to get me to look at him.

"What is wrong with Jason?" Carlisle asked.

"Jason has powers that are coming in during his time as a human. It is because of that he does not remember us at times. I looked at his blood and saw that he has the same as mine it will get worse if he becomes one of us. I am afraid if he does get worse that Jason's father will blame me again," I said.

"You never told me the name of Jason's father," Edward said. I shook my head and Edward crouched in front of me. He took my face into his hands and held it to look at him. "Tell me who his father is and we can help you even more."

"Edward, Jason and his father look just alike. I love them both," I said.

"Tell us who he is, Allison," Edward said.

"His name is Felix," I said.

"One of the guards for the Volturi that tried to kill us no too long ago; that is the Felix you speak of?" Bella asked. I nodded and Edward dropped my face. He stood up and walked away from me. Alice ran over to hold me in her arms. I sobbed in Alice's arms as Edward banged his hand on the desk. We all jumped and stared at Edward.

"Daddy, are you okay?" Reneesme asked from the door. She looked to me and she ran over to me and Alice. "Why are you crying?"

"Reneesme, sweetheart, you should not be here right now. Daddy is not in a good mood," Bella said. Alice let me go and I touched Reneesme's soft cheek. Edward looked at the two of us and he growled.

"She looks like mother," I muttered. "This child holds the power hidden in her. Edward, your daughter is gifted like you, isn't she?"

"Yes, she is like me and her mother," Edward said. I smiled at my niece and then I looked into her eyes. "Allison, don't do what you are thinking you are doing."

"Save my son and you will learn everything I know. Reneesme Carlie Cullen, you were destined to save Jason Alexander Mason Volturi. Find him and make him one of us," I said.

"ALLISON, DO NOT DO THIS TO ME!" Edward growled. I stepped away from Reneesme and he jumped at me. We went flying through a door and were grappling each other while snapping our teeth at each other's necks. "YOU PROMISED YOU WOULD NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!"

"I DID IT TO SAVE HIM!" I growled back at him. We rolled down the stairs and onto the floor in front of the front door. Everyone was trying to get us to stop. I clawed Edward's face as he tried to choke me. We batted at each other's hands while other hands were trying to separate us. Edward shouted in my mind and I snarled at him. Someone was able to pry us apart and I was held to the ground. Edward's angry face was pulled out of my view and then I saw another face.

"Allison, are you okay?" Alice asked. I got to my feet and looked to Edward. He had an angry look in his eyes as if he was going to kill me.

"Outside, we are going to finish this our way without any interruptions," I said. Edward shook all the hands off him and we walked outside. Everyone stood by the door to keep the two children from running out the house and getting hurt.

"Why did you break our promise?" Edward asked.

"My son, your nephew, is going to die if he becomes one of us. I want to keep this child alive after the other death of the other one," I said. We circled around each other in the cold snow. "Didn't we do something like this almost fifty years ago? When my first born was dying and you tried to keep me from taking another girl into my power."

"Allison, you are the only person connected to my human family that I have left. Do not make me hurt you or kill you," Edward said. I stood with my arms out.

"Do as you must," I said. Edward jumped at me and I spun away from him. The spin made me nauseous and I doubled over. I looked around to see Felix and Jane standing near the edge of the territory.

"Allison, that is enough," Jane said. I shifted into a bow to Jane and Felix.

"Where is Jason?" Felix asked. Jason came out and ran to me. He bowed to them as well and I grabbed his hand. "Son, it is time to go home now."

"Is mommy going with us?" Jason asked.

"Your mother is to remain in exile until the ceremony is complete. By the order of Marcus himself," Jane said. I looked to them in shock.

"You will not take my son from me!" I exclaimed.

"He is my son as well!" Felix growled.

"Jason will die if you go through with the ceremony, Felix! We cannot lose another child," I shouted. Jason squeezed my hand and I looked at him.

"I am only going if mommy goes with us," Jason said.

"She is to stay here with the Cullens," Jane said.

"Let her go and let us go with you," Edward said. I saw Jasper, Alice, Edward, Reneesme, and Bella step forward.

"So be it," Jane said with an evil smile.

Chapter Four

I walked down the hall to meet with Caius and Markus with everyone else at my side. We entered through the doors and I bowed to them. Caius stood with a smile on his face and walked over to me and Jason.

"The family is reunited once more. Come join your wife and son, Felix," Caius said. Felix walked over to me and Jason and he put his hand on my shoulder and Jason's shoulder. "They fit perfectly like a puzzle. Don't they, Edward and Bella?"

"Yes sir," Edward and Bella said with a bow. Caius touched my cheek and he touched Jason's cheek. My hands were on Jason's shoulders.

"Jason, you have grown into a fine young man that looks like both his parents. I am proud to have seen you grown this much through the teaching we have provided you," Caius said. Jason looked up at me with scared eyes.

"It is okay, baby, you are not in trouble," I whispered to him. Felix rubbed my arm gently as Caius walked away from us. I took one hand off Jason and put it on Felix's hand that was not rubbing my shoulder.

"Allison, you took your son away when you learned of the ceremony he was about to get. You went against my orders by kidnapping him and keeping him away for almost two years," Caius said. Felix became stiff as Caius snapped his finger and Jane walked over. "That is punishment by my command for defying my orders. You know the rules and what happens when you do not follow them. I am sorry to say this, but you, Allison Evelyn Masen Volturi, are here by sentenced to exile for defying my order. You will be confined to a cell for the time being until I deem you are able to join us."

"NO!" Edward and Felix shouted. I bowed my head and walked over to Jane. Felix pulled my arm and he pulled me to him.

"Do not do this to me, Allison! Stay here with me," Felix growled. I kissed his cheek and whispered into his ear.

"Jason is not stable and will die if the ceremony happens. I must receive the punishment for defying a rule. Protect Jason and continue what we have been doing. I love you," I whispered. Felix let me go and I walked over to Jane. I caught a glimpse of Edward's eyes and saw they were filled with anger. Jane bound my hands together with something I created.

"To see you in your own invention, it is something I never imagined," Jane said with an evil smile. I said nothing as I turned to Caius and Marcus to bow and to be led to my new home.

"Edward, Felix, lead your family to watch Allison be chained to her cell. I want you to see what happens to someone when they defy my order," Caius said. Jane led us to the dungeon and into a cell in the back. I saw that Alec was there to chain me to the walls. Jason cried as he watched the chains be put on my wrists. Jane used her abilities to torture me. Felix and Edward growled at Jane as I screamed out in pain.

Felix came to the bars and he called out my name. I was too weak from lack of nourishment to respond to his call. He waited until I could look at him with my weak, hungry eyes.

"Allison, you look worse than yesterday," Felix noted.

"Tell me something new," I hoarsely said. "How is Jason doing and how long has it been?"

"A month and Jason is stable for the time being. Are you behind his stability?" Felix said. I weakly nodded and then I looked to the floor. "Edward refuses to leave with you still down here. Alice and Jasper left to inform Carlisle of what has happened."

"Felix, your news does not make me feel better. It makes me miserable to be missing out on some things," I said. Felix reached out and he touched my cheek.

"Do you still remember the first time we met?" Felix asked.

"How could I forget? I was still human trying to learn of the art here. You were just born into this dark world. We met during a celebration for the Volturi's rule. I was to leave the next month for America to care for my family who fell ill. But, I was kidnapped and you saved me before I died in vain," I said.

"You make me feel like I am human again. That is what makes you special to me," Felix said. I kissed the palm of his hand and smiled. "I have to go now. I will be back later to see you."

"I shall be here waiting for you return," I said. Felix left and I remained in silence.
