~Lilith's Thinking~

Review:

When a new scent hit my nose I looked around the room to where it came from. Victoria stepped away from a small table in the room where some blood bags were laying. I had no idea where they came from but it was better than killing someone. I crossed the distance without much thought and picked them up sinking my razor sharp teeth into the bag. The warm liquid flood through my mouth as it slid down my throat. I knew that the Cullen's would be upset that I drank human blood but I knew I needed it with the powers I had gained.

I needed to find a middle ground. There were bad people in the world so maybe I will just help the humans with the murders, rapist and others that needed to be taken out. Yes I would be passing judgment but yet I was cast out of heaven. Oh yes I remember that as well. My first Life, as some would call it. I was right next to God along with Michael and Gabriel. Until Lucifer ruined it all. I was also cast out onto the earth to rot my days away like a mortal however I found a key ingredient in the humans blood.

It keeps me alive as long as I drink. I know some can feed from animals however I am not given that Lucifer, if you will. That is my sin for all eternity.

-o0Jasper's Pov0o-

After my talk with Eleazar I headed home to think about what him and I talked about. Not long after Alice came to me and asked if we could go hunt. I could tell by her feelings that something was off. I didn't ask but just smiled and nodded. I should have known that something was off when I received a pity look from Emmett and Rose. I could also tell by their feelings that something had happened while they were gone.

About three miles away from the house Alice told me that she found her true mate. He was in Volterra and she needed to head there right away. I tried to hold back my anger but all I could do was stare at her. I blacked out but when I came to Alice was gone and I was half way to Forks. I knew that I wanted to go back to apologize to Bella for what happened but I didn't know if she would be receptive towards me. After all I did try to kill her. I cringed at the memory. I really don't know if I was lunging to get to her or to protect her. Shaking my head I took off running again.

It wasn't until I caught a scent of two females', one was changing while the other smelled familiar. I followed the two scent about 5 miles to the east and finally came upon a cabin. I could hear one female inside speaking to the other. It sounded almost as though they knew each other or one of them knew the other. I could see a window yet there was a blanket over it blinding my view from the inside of the cabin. Running about 10 feet from the from the entrance of the cabin I jumped up in a tall tree that way I could see the entrance.

I would find out who was in there. One way or another.

-o0Iza's Pov0o-

I could tell that another vampire was here. I cut my eyes at Vic and nodded. We would escape and leave our scents here. It has been about five hours since I woke. My powers are controlled but with my emotions erratic I had a hard time controlling them. I had a shield that covered my physical scent as well as those around me.

"Do you know who it is?" Victoria asked glancing over her shoulder to where Jasper was sitting in the woods.

I couldn't help but grin. I wasn't ready to see any of the Cullens. Not just yet any way. "I do but he can sense our emotions." I cut my eyes in the direction of the tree he was sitting on. "I will cover our scents then we will head out the back." I nodded my head.

Vic grinned and nodded. "Let's go." She stood and waited for me to give the ok.

Once I had the barrier's in place I grinned and tilted my head to the back escape route. She walked over quietly and opened the door. It made no noise as she opened it. I decided that we would leave it open. I placed a barrier around the entrance and hoped that it stayed til we were far enough away. Grinning I turned to Vic and nodded. We took off like a rocket as we moved through the woods I could tell that Jasper was still oblivious about the fact that it was me.

Of course once he found out all hell would break loose.

-o0Jasper's Pov0o-

As I waited I realized I couldn't hear them. I shrugged knowing that I could still see when they left the cabin that they were staying in. I tried to think back as to who it could be this far into Washington. Suddenly it was as if they opened the door and ran outside however I could clearly see the front door. Jumping down from my spot I ran around to where I could smell their scents coming from. I was completely shocked when I saw a back door that was standing wide open.

Turning around I looked and tried to smell then leaving the cabin. I couldn't sense them except inside of the cabin. Did the newborn have control of her power. The only thing he could distinguished was that the newborn was female and the scent was familiar yet he couldn't place it. Looking around the room he spotted some torn clothing. Walking into the room he was hit by the scent of someone very familiar. Bella.

His dead heart clenched at the thought of her being harmed yet the only thing in the cabin was a burnt down wood fire along with some clothes. He walked over to the bed and found that the scent that was on the bedding was the one that was outside. Frowning he couldn't understand how Bella ended up here with someone they had run into before. Suddenly one names popped up along with a fight with Edward.

~Flash Back~

Edward glared at me with hate in his eyes as well in his emotions. "We are not going after her." He hissed at me. "Victoria posses no threat to Bella or the rest of us. I heard it in her thoughts. The only one that was a problem was James. He wanted to take a bit out of her." His eyes grew dark.

"You don't understand Edward." I tried to tell him. "If James and Victoria are mated then she will come either for you or Bella and seeing as you are part of a coven and Bella is still human than she would go after Bella." I couldn't believe he was fighting me over this.

"Bella is MY mate not yours!" Edward screamed in my face as he took off into the woods.

~End Flash Back~

I shook my head to get rid of the image. Growling I stalked out of the cabin and stood outside the door. I couldn't believe that they would give me the slip. If it was Victoria and she did have Bella then what is the reason to change her? I needed answers and the only way to get them is to talk to Peter. Unlike Alice he would tell me what I needed to hear and he was never wrong.

When a sweet scent came across my senses I veered off to the right and headed to where ever it was located. I believe it was time to fall off the band wagon. I was a vampire after all. I could control the emotions until I was able to get to a city to pick off the criminals in the area.

-o0Iza's Pov0o-

We stopped about a hour ago. We were sitting in an abandoned house at the edge of the woods. I had no idea where we were but then again I didn't care. Victoria kept cutting her eyes to me as though she was waiting for something. I turned my attention to her and raised a brow in question.

"Is there something you wish to know?" I knew she couldn't believe I was here but then again neither could I.

Victoria smiled and shook her head. "I just wish James was here to see this. He would have loved to meet you." I believed if Victoria could have blushed she would have.

I gave her a small smile. "If my memory serves me correct it was a good thing that he was killed by the Cullens." I told her bluntly. I knew she wouldn't take that very well.

As expected she jumped up and growled at me. "What the hell do you know?" She spat at me. "James was trying to help you."

I laughed as I stood up. "Are you really that naive?" I just shook my head. "If James wasn't killed by Jasper and Emmett then I would have killed him after I was turned. He used a video camera to record our little time together." I told her with a cold tone. "If not me or the Cullens then my son's would have killed him for breaking the one law that I put into place. KEEP THE SECRET!"

In a blink of an eye I had her by the throat. "Do not think you could take me." I grinned. "Even though I have only two powers this time around doesn't mean that I forget my training over the years." I dropped her and walked out side.

"What are you doing?" She asked me softly rubbing her throat.

I decided to let her know since she asked nicely. "Outside to feed." I held up a hand. "And before you say anything unlike my children I can walk in the sun light without bothering to worry about sparkling."

I chuckled as I disappeared into the sunlight where my children only went in private. I knew they would be worried about my return however I missed my boys dearly. I wondered if they still had Jane, Alec and Demetri around. I also changed them. They were my servants/friends while I was nomadic. One of the many reasons I pick the twins was because they had a gift hidden from the world. Where other knew nothing but defects I saw power hidden inside a human shell.

Demetri however was different. I had found out long ago that I could have children if I wished. He was the first and last. I was not unhappy with the fact that I had Demetri yet I wished I could give my mate a child. The Volturi know that a male vampire can bare children however since the female vampire can not change to bare children, most of the vampire population does not know about it. Few but not many.

-o0Marcus' Pov: Volterra0o-

My brothers and I had just retired to our rooms when I felt a jolt. I opened my gift and saw that Mother had come back. I quickly turned around and headed to Aro's room. I found Caius along the way. He came out of his room and followed me without any words. We all knew that only few could ever find out that Mother had come back. If she was in fact reborn she would be more powerful than any others. I worried for her safety.

As soon as we arrived at Aro's door it opened and he was standing there with a shocked look on his face. "Let us continue this inside." He moved out of the way and let us in. Once the doors were shut he turned to Caius and I. "Did you feel the shock too?" He looked from Caius to me.

"I did." Caius told him. "It can only mean one thing."

Aro nodded and looked at me. "What have you seen?" He held out his hand.

I knew he wanted to see with his owns eyes that mother was indeed back. I gave him a slight smile which I never do and took his hand closing my eyes. I felt a jolt of his power then the images I wished him to see came forth for him to view. I knew instantly when he released my hand because the tingling stopped. I opened my eyes and was surprised as was Caius that Aro had venom in his eyes.

"Are you alright brother?" Caius asked taking a step forward.

Aro nodded. "Indeed I am." He looked at him. "Marcus grinned and mother has returned. We shall see her soon. I have a feeling."

I could tell that my brothers were excited that Mother had come back. We were all upset when she decided to be reborn. We asked her why she needed to do so but the only thing she would tell us was that her mate was going through the hardest part of his existence and needed someone after he was found by a fortune seer. She had also told us she had the parent picked out an everything.

She had an old friend look to see if she would be united with her mate during her human life and where. After she had set up everything she informed us that some time in the future we would see her again. I knew neither myself or my brothers could wait. It had been over 20 years since she was last in the immortal world.

Our mother, Lilith, was back.

-o0Iza's Pov0o-

As I walked with the humans once again as an immortal I felt a tug on my heart as I neared a book store. I had a memory flash before my eyes. It was as my past life as Isabella Swan. I had helped her parent, Charlie and Renee Swan, conceive a child when they had no hope left. All I told them was that their daughter would be special yet withdrawn from people. They both understood the risk along with the rewards. I say in the end I was the one that ripped the benefits of our exchange.

I was on my way to Charlie's house at this time. I had been walking through the woods being careful to watch the tready line for any of the wolf pack before I headed into the town. I had vaguely heard what was being said between Sam and Victoria while I burned. Most of my human memories were dull except for the ones of the Cullens and of the Major.

Whether he knows it or not, I know the little pixie, that has her claws in him, does. I have sent her visions along with warnings yet she ignores them. Of course if Alice knew then Edward would have to know because I know that they are mates. Alice knows that her and Edward are mate but they have yet to clue in Jasper and the rest of the family. Its a rather pity because if I kill one I will have to kill both.

Carlisle on the other hand I can not explain the reason he did not sense me. He has seen me in the past yet never once asked about the rarity of Edward not seeing me. While they knew it was a hidden power it also had to do with the fact that I am the Mother of all Vampires. I wonder when I show myself if they will recognize me. It is doubtful because of the fact they starve themselves of their natural food source. Whether it is an innocent or criminal or terminal ill we need to survive on human blood to live forever.

I sent Victoria to the Denali's to gather Laurent and Eleazar. I know that Carmen will asked to follow along with Laurent's mate Irina. I was excited to see my loyal friends/companions after all these years. Eleazar and Carmen traveled with me during my next to the last life. I told Victoria that the other two are not allowed to follow and if they were caught following to leave them in pieces but do not burn anything. I would not burn my children unless they warrant it but I will discipline them as I see fit.

The vampire world is in for a big surprise when they find out that their mother has returned to the throne.
