Hello! Thanks for all the great reviews! I was so happy when I saw that I had 17 emails from fan fiction. Reviews, subscriptions, favorites. I'm so glad that you guys like it. Please keep reviewing like you did for the last chapter!

Just to remind you guys, I am available for Beta reading. Check out my profile if you want me to read for you.

To Muffin: Thanks for reviewing! I don't know if you reviewing three times would count. I'll have to think about that. :)

Hope you like this chapter!

Emmett's POV:

I watched as Caius pulled the lighter out of his pocket and lit it. It was a horrifing scene. I couldn't believe that he would do this with all of these witnesses.

Then it became clear to me. He was going to kill all of us. There would be no witnesses.

We had to get out of here. I didn't know how we would manage it, but we had to save ourselves.

I looked over at Tanya and Kate's torn faces. They knew what was happening just as well as I did.

My mind was racing, trying to figure a way out of this fine mess we had created for ourselves. I didn't even notice when Tanya started to run towards Caius.

But then Rose followed her example.

My thoughts floated away and all that mattered was stopping her. What was she thinking? Didn't she know that there was no way that she would live if she did this?

I ran as fast as my superhuman legs could carry me. As she reached Caius, she turned to look at me. She did know. She knew that she wouldn't make it.

Her eyes silently pleaded with me to stay where I was. She didn't want anything to happen to me. This was her mistake. She didn't want me to suffer for it.

Caius touched the fire to her skin. She mouthed the words, I'm sorry.

The fire consumed her and my heart fell to pieces. I screamed, but didn't hear a sound. I felt everybody's eyes on me as I cried without tears. I prayed that it was all a dream. That this was just a sick joke my mind was playing on me. I opened my eyes and got a fresh slap in the face when I saw the smoke rise into the air. How could this be happening?

How was I going to live without her?

Bella's POV:

My heart constricted as Emmett fell to the ground and screamed. Rosalie went up in flames and smoke filled the air. How did this meeting, that seemed to be turning in our favor, suddenly have horrifying consiquences?

Rose was Emmett's soul mate. They were bound together just as much as Edward and I were. They changed each other in a way that couldn't be undone. They couldn't live without each other.

So how was he to live through this?

I wanted to run to him, to reassure him that everything was going to be okay. But I couldn't. I didn't know for sure that everything was going to be okay.

Carlisle was the one ho went forward and picked Emmett up off the ground. Emmett continued to cry. I almost expected to see tears pouring out of his eyes, no matter how impossible that was.

Esme let him cry on her shoulder as Carlisle went forward to confront the Volturi. He spoke only to Aro and Marcus. He pretended the Caius wasn't alive.

"I was hoping that this wouldn't come to a fight. I don't see why killing one of our loved ones was necessary. I would like to get this discussion over with quickly so that we all can go back to our lives." Carlisle said through clenched teeth. How could he stay so composed?

"I don't want to discuss this! I want to rip his head off!" Emmett yelled. I would volunteer to help him.

Caius smirked and stood there like he hadn't done something that would torcher Emmett for the rest of his life. Or maybe he did know and that was why he was so pleased.

I'd like to wipe that smile clean off of his face.

"Of course, Carlisle. We will put the child's fate to a vote. We will start with my witnesses. All in favor of the child being killed, say I," Aro explained.

There were few Is on their side. Maybe something good would come of this meeting.

"All in favor of the child living, say I." The majority of the crowd responded to this choice.

"Alright, we know what my witnesses think. Let's see how your witnesses feel about the child. All in favor of the child being killed, say I." Nothing was said. "All in favor of the child living, say I." Every one of our friends said I. I could hardly believe it.

We had saved Renesmee. Rosalie would be so happy.

"Okay, I suppose we will go in peace. Before I leave, I would like to say you look amazing, Bella. Immortality suites you. And I and sorry for your loss." Aro said apologetically. Crimson fogged my vision again. He didn't mean it. He was glad that he had caused us pain. He was happy that he got something out of this ordeal.

The Volturi and their witnesses slowly left the clearing. When we were sure they were gone, we broke out into relieved cries of happiness and triumph. All except for Emmett. Irina had made it away before Caius could kill her as he had killed Rosalie.

Edward and I wandered over to him and left Renesmee with Jacob, whom was licking her face.

I hugged him and whispered how sorry I was. The Edward hugged him and we started walking back towards the house. The wolves left to watch after La Push.

Things wouldn't be okay for a long time.

Leah's POV:

I paced back and forth as I waited for my brothers to get back to La Push. For some reason, I couldn't hear their thoughts, and I was terrified. I didn't know what that meant, me not being able to hear them. This had never happened before. I just prayed nervously that they were okay.

Then I felt a flicker inside of my head. Then I heard Sam talking to Jacob. Soon enough, I could hear everyone.

"Hey Leah, are you okay over there?" Seth asked.

"Yeah. I am so happy that you guys aren't hurt. Give me a full report. What happened?" I asked.

They recalled all the events from the clearing. I growled at all of the snide remarks Caius made about us. I gave Sam a questioning look when they got to the part about "shape shifters". He just shrugged his shoulders.

Then I saw Caius pull out a lighter. The blond vampire Rosalie was killed. Then they showed a muscled vampire crying on the ground. I felt strangely drawn to him. I felt really bad for him. Rosalie must have been his mate. I couldn't imagine how tore up he must have been.

Then they got to the vote. I smiled as everyone hooted and yelled and cheered. Then they showed Rosalie's mate again. This time Bella and Edward were hugging him and trying to comfort him. Then they left the clearing and the memory ended.

"Wow. A lot happened today." I pointed out the obvious. I didn't know what else to say.

"You bet. I hope everything gets really boring for a while. I don't think I can take this much drama on a daily basis. I hope Emmett's okay." Seth said.

So that was his name. Emmett. Nice name. He was awfully cute, too. Wait, I thought. Why was I talking about a leech like this. Eww!

Everyone was either too tired to hear my thoughts, or they were ignoring me. I didn't care. I hoped they were ignoring me. I didn't want them hearing what I was thinking.

I could never be with a vampire. It was impossible. No way.

Seth and I jogged over to the Cullen's. We had to check up on Jacob. I wanted to make sure Emmett was doing okay.

We peeked through the windows and Jacob signaled for us the phase and come inside. He looked worn. He was under a lot of stress today.

I ran behind a tree and phased and got dressed. I ran to the house and almost broke down the door. Jacob's eyebrows rose.

"You okay, Leah?" he giggled.

"Yeah, I'm alright." I said, breathless. "You?"

"I'm better now." He looked down at Renesmee in his arms and sighed. Then something slipped out of my mouth that really shouldn't have.

"How's Emmett? I was worried about him." I cringed as I realised what I was saying. Crap!

"Umm, he's okay. We're all pretty worn out." Alice said awkwardly.

Everybody was immersed in conversation. I took the opportunity to slip up stairs.

I cracked the door to every room until I found Emmett's. He was lying face down on his bed. My heart crumpled.

"Emmett?" I asked timidly. He turned his head toward me. I looked into his golden eyes and saw everything that I would ever need in the world.

Everything that had ever held me to Earth drifted away on the breeze. Instead, these strong, knew cables held me to the ground. All I could see was Emmett.

I had just imprinted. On a vampire.

Hope you guys liked that chapter. It was really long for me. Review, please. Reviews make me update quicker. Can I ask for five more reviews? I don't think that's too much, since that's how many I got last time. See ya.
