Edward and Bella walked to the other's rooms in silence. Chelsea watched them. She knew that they would be killed soon. She had no time to waste.

She tied Valera's loyalty to Alec and Jane so she'll stop using her power on them. She broke the bonds of everyone else. No more being scared of Aro.

She walked to where Carlisle and Esme's room was. All the Cullen's were there.


Edward and Alice rejoiced. Their powers were back. Then a vision hit Alice. Aro was going to attack them.

"Guys. I don't think…" she never finished that sentence.

"Aro has plotted revenge against you guys." Said Chelsea.

She proceeded to tell them Aro's plan. She concluded with, "But don't worry. The majority of the guard hates Aro and Caius. You'll be fine."

Aro was waiting downstairs. The twins stood at his side. He held their hands in his to keep them from doing anything funny. Valera smirked at them. Aro was an idiot. A clever idiot. Although, it was truly a wonder how that strange paradox made perfect sense.

She remembered when Aro found her. She was a newborn and she had just had her first hunt. The blood was delicious. The burn in her throat wouldn't go away. Aro had asked her if she wanted to join him.

"Little newborn, I can sense from your memories that you would make a very interesting vampire. When you find out what your power is, come to this address and tell me. We might have a place for you."

5 years later, when hunting, she found her power. She had a fight over a human with a fellow vampire. That vampire told her he had a power, and if she didn't let him have the human, he would use it on her.

However, when he tried, he couldn't.

He had muttered "damn you shield." Under his breath.

She asked, "What did you just call me."

He proceeded to tell her what a shield was. Now knowing what her power was, she walked to the address Aro had given her.

Since she joined the Volturi, she never really felt the way she did now about Alec and Jane. She'd always thought nothing of it. She'd always thought, as it didn't hurt them really, abuse isn't illegal in the vampire world.

Now, she saw it through a different light. She felt the need to protect them.

No matter what the cost.

One chapter left. Are you guys excited for the finale? I know I am. I have 4 other stories I need to update besides this one. It would help my workload a lot if I didn't have that many.

Until next time,

See ya!
