Destruction

The Meadow ... Once upon a time, this place represented a happy place …

Now all you can feel is fear, tension…

~~BD~~

Not too far, coming down through the tree line, too many witnesses, the whole guard, and the wives. The Three kings. The Volturi.

Walking down, ironically slowly, towards the Cullen and their own witnesses; the wolves hidden for now, but also waiting for a chance to fight and kill vampires.

~~BD~~

With a few miles of distance between both groups, the first one to talk is Carlisle, hoping to break the tension.

"Aro, Marcus, Caius; welcome to Forks…"

"Carlisle, my Friend, always the polite. Why is that you have all of this friends here with you? What a marvelous welcome, but why I feel all this angst, it seems that you all are ready to attack. Is that accurate Carlisle?" Aro's sarcastic voice resounded through the eerie and tense silence.

"That's not the reason why these friends are here; they came willingly to be our witnesses, just like all of your followers are…" Rosalie, Bella and a few others noted the slight sarcasm in his voice. "They are here to tell you that no crime has been committed…"

"We all are here to greet beautiful Isabella into our world. I must say that being vampire suits you very well my dear child." His eyes shining with an evil glint. "Now, as for this so claimed crime we heard about, I trust you enough as to not had done something terribly drastic" At this, Bella felt herself tense. "Please Isabella, would you explain to us who is the child you are hiding? I assume that Edward has something to do with her"

Once Edward and Bella reach to Aro and the rest of the Volturi, Aro grabs Bella's hand to read her mind surprising himself once again when he can't read her thoughts. "This is remarkable my Dear Isabella, your mind is still untouchable, perhaps, you would consider to join our ranks?" at this, the Cullen's and some of the others growled loudly.

"I'm afraid that I have to decline your proposal Aro, I wish to stay with my family"

"Well, that's a shame, such a waste of a talent. What do you say Edward, would you show mw then what all this scandal is about? Then we can move to more pressing issues at hand"

Edward stretched his hand and Aro took it in between his colder ones. Meanwhile, the rest of the Cullen's, their friends and the pack of wolves were holding their breath; Edward had just came back a couple weeks prior and he himself wasn't part of the whole story, he was just genetically related, and the family and friends, specially Carlisle were worried that The Volturi wouldn't truly believe their story, more so now that Alice and Jasper were still missing.

Finally, after a few seconds, Aro let Edward's hand go and he and Bella walked back to be close to the rest of the family and Reneesme.

"It seems so that this 'miraculous' child is indeed yours both, something that haven't happened before and something that we should be cautious about. For now, and first, bring me the woman who accuse them." One of the guards grabbed Irina's arm and pushed in front of the three kings.

"Tell me, is that the child you saw in the woods? The one you assured to us that was a vampire child?"

"I… I t..think so… she seems a little bit different…"

"Brother, what is all this mystery? Why are you questioning this vampire when we all can see the crime right in front of our eyes?" Caius asked.

"Patience my brother, said crime has not been committed the way this woman has told us. That child is a vampire, but she is also a human. What I have seen is a child that was born from Isabella's womb, her own blood and flesh. That child is a half breed, half vampire half human. Edward is her biological father. I wonder how is this possible, Carlisle my friend?"

"We are not sure yet how it is even possible Aro, so far my searching has come without results that can teach us about this. Now as you can see, no crime has been committed, all it was is just an unfortunate mistake…"

"Maybe is not a crime per se, but who is to know that this mysterious creature won't endanger our secrecy? Who is to know that she won't become some threat for us? We cannot take any risks to this kind of unknown threat."

By this point, Leah started to run as a wolf with Reneesme on her back. Bella arranged this previously, she decided that if it came to the point of fight, she will ask Leah to take her daughter away, it was hard to say goodbye to her little girl, but she knew that it was necessary to keep her alive. For now she will focus on fighting to stay alive. For Reneesme. For Alice.

Suddenly, everything froze when a voice accompanied by a couple of steps was heard in the field.

"STOP!"

"Alice!" Bella was the first to react to the voice. At the start of the tree line Leah also stopped and Reneesme's face lighted up at the sound of her momma's voice and face.

"Oh! Dear Alice, I see you finally decided to join us, and you brought guests too. ready to part with our guard are you?"

To say that everyone on the "good" side was shocked, was an understatement. Aro's question let them believe that Alice was with them all the time and that she was joining the guard in order to leave the Cullen's alone.

"Aro you already know my answer, and you already know the reason behind it. I'm here as a witness myself, I have seen what Reneesme would become and I'm here to show you that she won't be a threat for our kind. In fact, I found someone who is just like her." Alice said all of this news while walking closer to the Volturi. Once she reached Aro, he took her hand to read her visions. The rest of the vampires on that field were expectant as to what Alice was showing him.

"Well my lovely Alice, this is quite interesting what you just showed me, but still it seems an unknown threat, we don't know if some day in the future this mystery child would turn against us."

"It doesn't matter…" Alice whispered in disbelief. "Everything we've just showed you it doesn't matter, you just wanted to destroy our family"

Leah started to run again with Reneesme, while the rest of the Cullen's and their friends got ready for the attack. Aro send a vampire after Leah, and with a slight movement of his hand, Alice was taken by Dimitri before she could react. Edward moved faster to rescue his sister, but Aro stopped him first taking him by his neck and breaking it. Everything freezes for a second, then Carlisle and Esme screamed in pain just before charge against Aro. The guard and some other vampires run into the battle along with the wolves and Carlisle's witnesses and friends.

Everything was a blur, on the other side of the woods; Leah kept running trying to take Reneesme as far away as possible from the battle field while still listening to the screaming and fighting. Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett fighting against the guard, Bella, Kachiri, Senna and Zafrina against Jane and Alec; Carlisle and Esme against Aro and so on, the wolves took the few Volturi witnesses that choose to stay, the rest just flew. The battle was full on, Bella trying to reach Alice couldn't see where her family was, she was focused on Jane. One by one, vampires were dying, not only on Aro's side, but on the Cullen's too, the first were Jasper, Eleazar, Tania, Amun, Charles, Makenna, Esme, Rosalie, Emmett. Sam, Jared, Seth, Embry, Paul. Dimitri, Alec, Felix, Marcus, Caius, the wives, Jane.

On the other side of the field, Leah barely hanging with Reneesme by her side, two vampire heads at the side of them.

One by one falling dead in the field until just a few were standing. Alice and Bella charge against Aro taking him by surprise. Taking his head off and lighting his body on fire along the rest of the vampires.

By the end of it, everything was a mess, just a pile of destruction, members of the family gone, friend lost in a battle that wasn't theirs. A battle that wasn't worth it. The few survivors gather around hugging each other mourning the loss of the loved ones. Alice and Bella both torn between the happiness of finding their daughter still alive, but mourning the death of the family.

~~BD~~

Aro drop Alice's hand like if it was burning him, wide eyes looking back at her, speaking volumes in the silence that surrounds them in those few seconds.

"Well, now you saw how it will end if you're not whiling to listen and give us the opportunity that our daughter is harmless for our kind" Alice said in an almost threatening whisper.

"I see. I assume that this witness you found can explain to us more about this child, so bring them, I want to hear what they have to say." Everyone was confused by Aro's reaction, but more so by the couple that appear in the field.

"Aro, meet Nahuel and his aunt, Huilen."

"Hello, you are a hybrid too; can you explain to us how it happened?"

"My mother Pire was human when she meet Joham, a vampire that seduced her, he got her pregnant on purpose; she died giving birth, my aunt Huilen took care of me even after I bite her. We've been living together ever since."

"Do you feed with blood?"

"Not as much, I can survive with human food"

"Has your aunt been the only vampire you've turn?"

"Yes. I wouldn't have chosen this life for me or my aunt, I always blamed myself for my mother's death, and my aunt has helped me."

"Given this development, my brothers, no crime has been committed and no threat is hanging upon us by this two creatures, I say we go back to Volterra, we cannot leave unattended the city. Farewell my friend Carlisle, for now."

With that, The Volturi, the wives, the guard and their witnesses turn around and ran into the woods. The danger was gone, at least for now.

Bella took Reneesme in her arms and ran to Alice's ones, they all felt relieved and happy to be reunited again.

"Don't ever, never leave me again, do you hear me?" Bella wasn't really angry, just still shaken by the events of the day.

"I am so sorry my love, I just had to leave, I needed to find Nahuel so Aro leave us alone." She kissed Bella's lips sweetly and then she hugged her little girl kissing her forehead too. "I missed you both so much, I promise I won't ever leave like that, and if I have to, then I'll bring you two with me"

The rest of the family and friends were also relieved, hugging each other and saying goodbye to the Cullen's. The wolves all have left almost immediately, even Leah, it seemed that a new alpha was taking place into the pack, all good changes.

Now it was time to go back home, to relax and enjoy some quietness in the company of the family, at least that's what Alice was hoping for, until she remember that she needed to fix things with someone else…

Edward.
