Alice's POV
Was Aro going to spare Jasper, or did he call him here so that he could kill him himself? To torture us, I was sure.
"Aro, if you value your life, you will stop the fight going on down there," my mate growled.
"Oh, but I couldn't! It's just so very entertaining," he said. I hate people that are overly-enthusiastic and sadistic at the same time.
"Jasper!" I shouted before he pounced on Aro. I grabbed his arm and pulled him on my lap. "Don't," I whispered into his ear.
"For now," he replied. "Carlisle," he said, calmer now, "Aren't you even a little bit worried about Esme?"
I knew my father didn't want to show weakness, especially in front of the Volturi, but he started sobbing quietly.
"I'm so sorry," he quickly said and a wave of comfort pervaded our heads. "Sorry," he said again, "It seems like I can't focus on one person."
"It's fine, Jazz," Carlisle said between his dry sobs.
"No, it's not," I answered for him. I stood up on the thin branch that could hold up all of us.
"I'm going to go get Esme," I told Aro, Caius and Marcus, "Don't you dare tell your fucking so called fighters to stay away from me. I rather die." I glared at them.
"I'm going with you," Jasper and Carlisle said at the same time. Then they smiled for the first time in a long time and fist-pounded each other. Like father, like son.
We all looked down and saw Esme and a stranger trying to fight off Felix and some other Volturi. I winced when I saw someone jump towards Esme's neck and missed by an inch.
"No don't," Aro quickly said before we all jumped. I bet he wished that he kept that body guard.
"Felix!" he shouted the name again, and in thirty seconds time, the brawny Emmett-esque vampire appeared perched up on the opposite branch.
"Yes, master?" he said. I wasn't focused on him. I was still looking down at the fight.
"Ready?" I whispered to Carlisle and Jasper. They nodded back. We were just about to jump when Felix's booming voice halted us.
"Don't jump yet! I'm going to get his mate, and… you guys can stay here and not get killed!" he rambled quickly.
I nodded slowly and sat down again. The Cullen men—the ones that were remaining, I should say—followed my lead.
I was glad the wolves left before they came to an un-heroic death. Life is way too precious to give up; I should know. At least Jake and Nessie were still alive. Or I hoped. They deserved to have a life outside this crazy vampire war.
Carlisle quiet cries of agony ceased a little, but little sniffles still escaped from him. Jasper and I rubbed soothing circles in his back.
"Oh, suck it up, Carlisle," Caius smirked.
"Shut the hell up," Jasper growled.
Just when Carlisle was about to break down again, Felix appeared with Esme thrashing in his arms.
"Let go!" she shouted over and over again.
"Esme!" Carlisle exclaimed. The squirming immediately stopped. She jumped out of the rock-like body and into Carlisle's arms and kissed him passionately.
Usually we would've told them "the hotel is across the street" or "get a room," but Esme was just saved from a horrid death, so who give a damn?
After they pulled out of the kiss, Jasper and I joined the embrace. This bit of the Cullens was going to survive. One thing to be glad about.
The fight was slowly ceasing, more and more of those burning piles. You see used and un-used matches lying in sparse areas in the clearing, and cigarette lighters and torn down trees.
Even without Jane and Alec, the Italian vampire force—a euphemism for sadistic killers, of course—was unstoppable. All of us were only able to end three of them. Alec, Jane and… Dmitri.
I broke out in quiet sobs again. Jazz immediately tightened his grip on my shoulders.
"What's wrong, Alice baby?" he asked, worried. Esme and Carlisle in their own little world right now; unable to hear or see the outside world, and talking with their eyes.
"Edward put the last bit of his strength to save… me." The response I got from my husband was a kiss on the top of my head.
"Dmitri, wasn't it?" he said quietly after a while. I nodded in confirmation.
"Well we won't have to worry about getting tracked down that easily," Esme cut in. I focused on the words "that easily." Does that me that we still will be tracked down? I fervently think so.
As the killing frenzy ended down below the treetops, people walked casually around the burning piles of limbs, some snickering and some spitting in them. It was downright disgusting.
Our witnesses weren't required to stay to fight, in fact, we encouraged them to leave if violence was involved. They all sacrificed themselves to save my family. God bless these innocent beings.
And the whole point was to put Renesmee to an end, but she was able to escape without a hair pulled out, or even tangled. If Jacob Black doesn't take good care of her, I'll track him down myself and rip him into pieces. In the back of my head, I was completely sure that he'll treasure Nessie like the only jewel in the world.
"You are free to leave now. Carlisle?" Aro said. He almost glared back at the vamp leader.
"You're free to visit anytime with your mate. Same goes with you, Alice," he looked at me.
Carlisle didn't even care about a possible death when he said, "No way in hell." Then he jumped out of the tree with my mother in her arms without even looking at the ever smiling Aro.
The look on his face was priceless. His hand was motionless, expecting one of us to take it with the same smile always plastered on his face. Caius just snarled.
"Can we please leave?" Marcus said, extremely bored.
Jasper let out an angry snarl before he grabbed my hand and jumped off the high tree.
"It's not over," I caught Aro say before we were completely out of their sight.
He was right. It isn't over.
END.
