Me: DumDeDumDeDum!

Emmett: Wow...

Me: Hmmm?

Emmett: Updating twice in two days?

Me: Yep! I'm fed up with coursework and studying so I did this instead

Emmett: But what about your grades?

Me: I'm planning on getting Carlisle to turn me Em, so I don't need my Grades. We'll all be one big happy Cullen family!

Emmett: ...

Heya guys! I know, twice in two days is kinda crazy but hey. Like I said I ws bored and I got in a writing mood so I sat down with my hot chocolate and hot cross bun and wrote! It's is another shorty chapter, just leading onto the next couple chapters where I think the real action begins. But I won't be writing them unless I get reviews! Because If I don't get reviews I don't know if people are reading and if people aren't reading there is no point in writing! XD SO PLEASE REVIEW!!!! I'll post the next chapter when I have another...Ooh...25 reviews?

"Emmett! Would you get OFF!" I shouted, shoving my great oaf of a brother back and then shooting up to stand. Just because he was bored now that Rosalie had gone and Edward was off with Bella he had chosen to pick on me, ME! It was completely unfair.

"Little pixie girl scared?" he joked, laughing at me as I growled and muttered several curses and profanities at him before going back to my work. I was in the middle of designing Bella's summer wardrobe when the great lug and leapt on me from nowhere. Heh, I would have loved to see what my Jasper would have been doing at that point. Would he be sticking up for me? Or would he make Emmett spaced out and dopey so he would just fall over. Now THAT would be funny. I laughed at my own thoughts, still sketching away on the paper beneath my hand and let my mind wander. It was going to thunderstorm on Saturday, perhaps Emmett and Bella would have their rematch then? There was no sun for about a week and CopperTooth was going to win the horse-racing. May as well put a couple of thousand on for jokes. My mind flitted from future after future as I hummed whilst working.

"Alice! I'm bored! Can we play? Please!"

"No Emmett, go and punch a few trees. You'll need the practice for--" all of a sudden I froze as the image flew into my head. No, NO!

(EmPV)

"Oh come ON Alice! Liven up a little! Please? I'm so bored" I whined, poking her as she drew. There was no Jasper to keep her calmness intact and I could tell that she was going to spring any second...AHA! Alice leapt up at me but I easily caught her and pushed her to the floor. She then (somehow) slid out through my legs leaving me with empty arms and leapt onto my back. Hah! I scrabbled around and threw her to the floor again, pinned her down.

"Emmett would you get OFF!". Alright, I'll let the pixie go back to fairyland...With a chuckle I moved away from her when she shoved me and moved back, leaned against the wall. "Alice! I'm bored! Can we play? Please!" I begged, sounding like a child in actual fact.

"No Emmett, go and punch a few trees. You'll need the practice for--"

"For what? Alice, for what?" I pressed, moving over to her side. What the—"Alice?" I whispered, touching her hand softly. She was shaking and the pencil in her hand had long since turned into dust. "Alice! Would you tell me what wrong!"

"He doesn't want me to go to him" she whispered, her eyes darting backwards and forwards as if watching something. "No, wait what are you—No, NO! STOP!!" she begged, clamping her eyes shut and screaming. "JASPER! GET OUT! JASPER!".

What the hell was this? I lifted her out of the chair and hugged her, trying to soothe her as she screamed into my arms. "What is it Alice? What did you see?"

"Jasper, they're hurting Jasper" she whispered, shaking harder.

Wait...Wasn't Rosalie with him!? "What are they doing...Tell me what they're doing!"

"I...I don't know! I've never seen anything like it but—Oh God, we're too late! No...Why? WHY!?"

"Alice! Calm down alright? We have to help them, they've got Rosalie!". Why had Carlisle even let that bastard slime Aro live!?

"Volterra, the great hall in Volterra. That's where they are...Were...I can't see them Emmett, they've gone! THEY'VE GONE!"

Volterra? Right. "Alice, I'll get the keys to the jeep you wait for me by the car alright? Whatever it is they've done I won't let them get away with it".

Esme came in then, a worried look on her face. "I heard some shouting...What's wrong?" she whispered, as Carlisle appeared at her side and held her hand.

"Aro has hurt Rosalie and Jasper" I hissed, glaring at Carlisle. "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT CARLISLE!!". Esme held his hand tighter and closed her eyes. Me? I felt like ripping off HIS head! Rosalie was in trouble because of him. And even though she knew exactly how to be a right pain in the butt? I loved her with my entire being. And my father had hurt her.

"You're going to Volterra?"

"Yes"

Without further provoking they were suddenly in-front of us, Carlisle holding the keys to the Jeep in his hand. "I'm sorry Alice, Emmett" he said, looking steadily at us, "we'll come too though...Diplomacy is still option number one".

"If it's diplomacy you want? I vote for ripping they're heads off and burning them before dancing around the flames" I hissed.

"That plan gets my vote. It's not as if we haven't done it before right? James, then the new borns and the Volturi! It's easy enough. And Aro is begging for death!". I had never seen Alice so vicious before! She had a murderous intent.

"Emmett, Carlisle is right about the diplomacy angle" Esme piped up, leaning into Carlisle. "This isn't about who gets the most votes it's about doing the right thing and we have to try and sort this out without bloodshed...Although if it's a vote you really want? I'm with Carlisle".

Ha! Diplomacy? Look where that had got us! But I nodded in hesitant agreement and looked at Alice. "What's the quickest way to the airport?"

"There's a traffic jam on the main road, so go down the back road or across-country" she said, already running out of the front door. I looked at Esme and Carlisle before I followed her and they followed me. This was going to end and it was going to end now. Even is Carlisle insisted on diplomacy? I would have Aro's head on a platter for hurting my Rosalie, no doubt about that.

(CPV)

I was reading in my study, reading to Esme in-fact when she suddenly glided away form me and downstairs. I was aware of the shouting, or course, but I didn't have the worry like Esme. If Alice and Emmett were fighting then that's their problem...Unless it got very serious. But Esme, being the kind and wonderful woman she is had to see what was going on. So I followed, of course.

"I heard some shouting...What's wrong?"

I knew she was worried now, and reached out, linking our hands together and squeezing her hand, telling her I was there for her.

"Aro has hurt Rosalie and Jasper. THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT CARLISLE!!"

I tensed for a moment as it sunk in. Two of my children, whom I loved dearly and as desperately as Esme, were in trouble because of me...I had hurt them. I felt Esme squeeze my hand more tightly and that reassured me a touch. I could understand how Emmett and Alice felt...Even though my relationship with Esme was far less open, more confined and secretive? It was powerful. A simple touch from either us could make the problems we faced better. And if anything threatened Esme? I would lose it, like Emmett was. Not even my rational head would be able to stop that. I woudl go with them. Help them, and try to make up for what I had done. Although I couldn't regret not killing Aro...But did I? After today? I felt...Different. I felt like I did when i told Alice to deal with James in the ballet studio when he hurt Bella, which consequently tore Edward apart. "You going to Volterra?"; this was going to be resolved.

"Yes"

Esme and I glanced at each-other for a split second before I ran to get the keys to the jeep and Esme went over ot them, me not following soon after her. "I'm sorry Alice, Emmett" I murmered, truly regretting sending two people so dear to me and to my family to Aro, "but Diplomacy is still the first option". Yes, it was. Depite everything I felt? I had to see if we could reason first! But, although I would never let it onto my family? I wanted to see Aro dead as much as Emmett did, as much as Alice did when they hissed back their form of diplomacy. Aro needed to be punished, and I hoped he woudln't reason with us. Esme agreed with me, aupporting me like always even though I knew she probably had a burning desire to kill as the rest of us did. I truly did love her. And then it was over. Alice had told us what way to go to avoid the traffic and Emmett had grabbed the keys from my hands. We were going to Volterra, going to confront Aro who was one of my supposed oldest friends. It would end here.
