I was speechless. My mouth was moving up and down like a goldfishes. Mike. The innocent, sweet guy that was after me all through high school. He wasn't ment for this world. How? Why? WHEN?!?!
"Suprised Bella? I thought you would be, its nice to see u again though. And the rest of you."
He tipped his head to the side, is voice completely monotone, and he had a cynical smile on his face. I didn't like this new Mike at all. Edward has a confused expression on his face, he was staring at Aro, something was wrong. I let loose my bubble, trying to cover the ones I loved, i didn't want Jane to torture anyone anymore. But as soon as it was around everybody, it sprung back and wouldn't spread again. What on earth was happening?
"I guess you will wondering why you can't read my mind Edward? And why your wife can't spread her shield? Well, young Mike here has a very special talent. He can repress other talents. All he has to do is wish that talent not to work, and voila! This may comfort you Alice, your foreseeing is not fading. Mike has been willing it not to work when it comes to you watching us for the past few months now. I shall explain why you are all here, but first of all I would like to give you a well deserved congratulations on keeping Nessie a secret, I must admit that I still had my doubts when we left u five years ago, but you have done the Vampire world very well.
The reason that you have been brought here, is that we desperately need your help. We new that it would be hard for you to decide in our favour if we came to Forks, seeing as you are very protective of the area, that is why we lead you here. We didn't want you to panic about Nessie, we would never hurt her seeing as she has never done anything wrong, and as for the shape shifter, well, we didn't plan on him being here at all, but he started causing a bit of trouble, so he had to be brought here. And I see you have brought many more of them, well, we could use this as another opportunity, if you would permit us to talk to you all, we can get information for our archives."
"What is the problem that you need our help with? You have the strongest vampires at your disposal, how could you need anymore?" Carlisle was brave, never afraid to speak his mind, not flicker of fear flashed across his face.
"There is a vampire on the Asian continent, wreaking havoc. He is wanting to take over us and bring the vampire world out of secrecy, to rule over the humans. He is heading for Italy now, recruiting as he goes along. His army includes shape shifters, children of the moon and other vampires. He is also creating newborn vampires. Obviously we understand if you do not want to risk your lives, but we would appreciate any offer you can give us. I would also like to extend the offer to your shape shifter friends, but being vampire enemies, we understand even more if you say no."
"I am no enemy to vampires, as long as they do not harm me or my friends, I don't harm them." Seth's voice surprised me, it sounded so strong, steady, so authoritative!
"I think it best that we have a discussion about this, me and my family will converse, and the Quileutes will talk amongst themselves too. We would appreciate the youngest of our family back, and the wolves will appreciate their Alpha back too."
Aro nodded to Demitri who let loose of Nessie, who ran straight to Jacob and helped him up. He must have had a real beating, not just from Jane either. He had blood dripping from his mouth and was limping, needing Nessie for support. After he was handed to Seth, Nessie ran to my arms and held me in the tightest of grips. The embrace was euphoric, her soft hair was brushing my cheek, her scent spiraling around me, her chocolate eyes were melted, but she was crying in relief. She put her palm to my cheek and used her talent to show me what had happened to her. They were snatched in the dark on the way back to the car form the best date they had ever had, Jane used her gift to weaken them both, they were transported in the back of a jeep and in a private plane here. As soon as they were out of the ties, Jacob phased to try and get them out, but once again, Jane's gift stopped him. For the time between that and when we came, he was tortured physically and mentally. It broke her heart to watch it and to not be able to do anything about it.
"Right then kids" Emmett was in an expectedly high mood, he was hard to calm down when a fight was on the table "What we going to do?"
