Author's Note: In this chapter, I am going to put a little Italian in, and I'm sorry to anyone that knows Italian if I get it wrong. I hope I do not mess it up too badly.
As soon as I got out of the airport, I started searching for allies. I knew that it was going to be hard to find some, but I had to try and find people.
I felt my phone vibrate, and I picked it up, hoping it was Alice, "Hello," I stated.
"Your first target is fifteen minutes to your left," Alice stated. I started to head that way.
"I'm glad that I have you on our side, Alice," I whispered.
"Same here," she said. "I don't think that I could handle being with the Volturi though. It'd be terrible, and I'd have to drink human blood instead of animal. That'd be disastrous."
"I agree," I stated. "Are the others gone?"
"They left right after you ended the phone call," she informed me. I was glad for that fact. "No one was really happy with how you left and where you're going. I saw that Esme was going to cry, but she didn't. She wants you to be safe. We all do."
"I will be as safe as I can in these circumstances, Alice," I stated. "I don't know if I can come back safely and unharmed though."
"I see that you do, Bella," she said, "I wouldn't have let you go if I didn't see it that way."
"How was everyone's reactions," I asked. "I only know Edward and Renesmee's really."
"Emmett was furious that you were able to get close to the enemy, and that you had the possibility to fight before he did," she informed me. That's Emmett for you. "Rosalie was proud of you. She thought that you were being very courageous." I was happy to get that kind of response from Rosalie. "She also thought you were being stupid." Well, that's definitely true. "Jasper was glad that someone was doing it, though he wished we didn't have to stay home and wait unlike everyone else." I kind of figured that it would be that way. "Carlisle was upset that we had to fight the Volturi, but he was even more upset when I told them that you went to Europe to get recruits. Esme was upset also. She doesn't want you to be hurt." Carlisle and Esme were truly the perfect parents, and I was glad that they were mine. "Edward was furious also, but we actually had to restrain him from going anywhere before Jasper could calm him down. Renesmee was crying into Jacob's chest. Jacob was mad that you hurt Renesmee, even if it was for a good cause." I was saddened at the fact that Renesmee cried for me. I didn't want to cause that kind of reaction from her, and I wanted to talk to her. I couldn't though. She'd break my revolution, and I'd go home. I couldn't do that just yet. "The wolves were glad that you were being so brave to go out and find them, even the ones from La Push. Quil was proud to have you as a best friend and a sister." I felt like I could cry if I was a human. Quil or any of the wolves never said that I was a sister to them, and I loved it. "Claire was saddened at the fact that you were alone, and that you were in enemy territory for however long. She had decided that she was going to do the same too when she gets to Asia, but Quil and I talked her out of it." I was glad for that fact. I didn't want anyone else to be alone. It wouldn't help if they split up, and I didn't want anyone hurt by doing so. "Leah thought that you were just plain stupid." Of course I would get that kind of reaction for her. It wasn't abnormal for that to happen.
"Thanks for tell me their reactions," I said truthfully.
"You're there," she stated. I was confused as to what she was talking about, until I saw a mansion.
"Do they speak English," I questioned.
"Every vampire knows English, Bella," she scoffed. "Be careful."
"I will," I said as I disconnected the connection. I went up to the door, and I knocked. I was soon met with a woman with long flowing black hair and red eyes.
"Ciao," she greeted me.
"Hello," I said. I didn't know Italian at all really. Now I know that I'm going to have to learn it.
"You speak English," she questioned. I nodded. "Come in. My name is Annelea Achille."
"My name is Isabella Cullen," I stated. "But you can call me Bella."
"So you are the Cullen that can shield through mind," she asked.
"How did you know that," I questioned.
"You are famous in the vampire world," she stated. "We have heard all about you and your baby. She seems quite marvelous, and I would love to meet her someday."
"Well, we need your help," I stated.
"How so," she questioned.
"The Volturi is going to attack our family again, and we'd like allies. You, of course, don't have to do it. We were just wondering if you'd like to," I explained.
"Is there any specific reason they would," she questioned.
"We haven't done anything to them," I stated. "I don't believe that they have a reason besides trying to get power."
"That would be a reason for them," she whispered. Then she called, "Berta, Casimir, Katherine; Scendere qui (AN: The translator said that this means come down here in Italian.)
"Sì," a man questioned when he came to the bottom of the stairs with two women traveling behind him. The women both had red flowing hair and red eyes. The man had black shoulder length hair and orange eyes. I thought that it was very strange.
"Bella sarebbe come il nostro aiuto. (AN: Bella would like our help.)
"Hello, Bella," said one of the women as she walked over to me. "I'm Katherine."
"Hello, Katherine," she stated. She looked at me perplexedly as she touched my skin.
"What is wrong," I questioned.
"I can't read you," she stated simply.
"She has a mental shield, Katherine," Annelea explained.
"That would explain it," Katherine mumbled and then started speaking Italian, but I couldn't quite catch it.
"I'm sorry that I have to interrupt your life to ask this question, but I just am trying to find people to save my family," I stated. "I don't know what else to do really."
"We will decide, and then we will go to Forks, Washington if that is where you live," The man stated. I wrote down our address for them quickly.
"Thank you so much for your time," I said before I walked out of the house and out into the woods again to run. My phone soon vibrated. "Hello," I stated once I picked up the phone.
"You have another coven just a little to your north. They are part of the coven that you just saw," Alice explained.
"Thank you Alice," I said. "I don't know if I could do anything without you. You are truly my hero."
"As you are of mine," she stated. "And you are there." I soon saw the house that she meant. I hung up with Alice. Before I could even knock on the door, a man answered with black long hair tied in the back, and red eyes.
"You must be Bella," he greeted me. "I am Celio Achille, and this is my beautiful wife, Serafina."
"You can call me Fina," she stated as she poked her head around her husband's shoulder. She had long brown hair and red eyes.
"We have already heard of what you have to say from our other part of the coven, and Fina and I have decided to join you. The others are still deciding. We have never really liked the Volturi. They were always ruthless, and we do not take pity on them if they die." I wrote down our address.
"We know another coven, and we can take you to them," Fina suggested.
"I don't want you two to be hurt or killed because of me," I explained.
"We will not," Celio stated. "We have crossed Volturi border areas before, and we always got away."
"But you didn't have me with you," I said.
"Do not judge who you are with," Fina stated before she stepped around her mate and took off. Celio and I followed behind. I put my shield around them just in case the Volturi might try and encounter us.
"Aren't you afraid of being caught," I questioned.
"Fina's power is to hide our scent," Celio explained. "They will never know what passed them.
"Eleazar is going to be very interested in that power," I said thoughtfully.
"He always has been," Fina stated. "He must be interested in yours, also."
"Extremely. When I was a newborn, I went hunting for the first time, and there were humans near where I was hunting. I started to run towards them, and my mate ran behind me trying to stop me. I turned around in a defensive position, and when I found out who was behind me, I ran away from him and the humans," I explained. "He also is always interested in my shield."
"Amazing," Celio breathed.
"Have you ever killed a human," Fina questioned. I shook my head.
"In all my 650 years, you are the most amazing vampire that I have ever met," Celio stated. Fina nodded.
"I'm very interested in your life style," Fina stated. "How do you do it?"
"We never wanted to be monsters, so we went for animals instead. Sure, it's hard to do sometimes, but it's easier for our souls. Carlisle tried to kill himself before he found out that he could drink animal blood, and he's taught every vampire in our coven that we should do the same. He doesn't envy killing or violence, but sometimes, it's necessary."
"Carlisle seems like a wise person," Celio observed.
"Carlisle is the best vampire I know at self control," I stated. "He is a doctor, and he is around blood all the time. He is barely fazed by it. When I was human, he used to take care of all the injuries that I have. I was clumsy back then. Edward said that I was a danger magnet because it would follow me everywhere."
"That is very interesting," Fina stated. "Who does Carlisle say that is the most self control vampire he's met?"
"He says that it's me," I stated. If I could blush, I would have.
"Do you smell that," Celio questioned after a couple minutes. I smelled the air a little bit, and I did smell what he was referring to. Smoke that only comes from burning a vampire.
We started our pace a little faster so we could see what had happened. When we arrived at the scene, I was terrified. There were burning bodies everywhere we looked in the meadow before us. Was that how it was going to look when we were done with our battle.
"The Volturi did this," said a man as he came out of the woods.
"Franco," Fina yelled as he ran over to the man and engulfed him in a hug.
"What happened, Franco," Celio questioned.
"The Volturi were trying to get the others to join their fight against the Cullen's. I was hunting at the time alone. They refused to fight, so they were killed," he sobbed. I fell to the ground on my knees. This is what happened because of me. I started it all, and I could have stopped it a long time ago. I could still stop it.
"Bella," Fina said. She was in front of me now. "You can't blame yourself." I looked at her with confusion in my eyes. "I could see that you were blaming yourself, but this isn't your fault. Aro has become a power-thirsty creature, and we are going to stop him. We are going to stop him together." She pulled me up so I could stand. "We are going to get rid of the problem that's called the Volturi." I just nodded.
"Are you Isabella Cullen," Franco questioned. I nodded. He came over to me and bowed. "It is a pleasure to meet you in person. I have heard about your excellence from afar, and I would be proud to fight for you."
"I have a mate," I stated.
"Edward Cullen," he said. "I know." He gave me a smile.
"Did anyone else survive, Franco," Celio questioned. He started to shake his head before he heard a moan from one of the piles. We all ran over to it, and we started searching for it.
"Gemma," Fina rejoiced when we recovered the living vampire.
"Of course! I should have looked for her," Franco stated.
"Franco," the girl questioned. "Fina? Celio? What are you doing here? What happened?"
"The Volturi attacked you," I explained because the others were hugging Gemma to death.
"Is Tatiana…," Franco asked hesitantly. Gemma nodded. He started sobbing. It was a sad moment, and I hoped that I would never find out the pain that he would feel from losing his mate.
Gemma hugged him to try and comfort him, but I doubt that anything would comfort him right now.
"If you want to go to fight with my family, you can," I stated. "Just tell my family that I have sent you, and you will be welcomed."
"Where will you go," Gemma questioned.
"I am going to look for others to fight if they wish," I answered.
"I will go with you," Fina stated. I just nodded. I doubted that I could say no to her.
"I will take Gemma and Franco to Forks then," Celio suggested as he stared at him mate. I could tell that he was trying to be polite for Franco, but I had to look away from the intimate moment.
"Where are we going," Fina questioned as we started to run.
"I was thinking Greece," I stated. She nodded. Then we were on our way to a new destination.
