To Be Loved

I saw them interrogating Irina. I watched as she turned to her sisters and mouthed the words 'I'm sorry' to them.

"Caius, no!" Edward shouted before Irina was torn apart and burned.

I watched in fascination as the flames licked their way up her body, turning her to ash.

I heard a struggle behind me but ignored it, content to just keep my gaze on the pretty flames.

The Denali sisters were a bit pissed off about the whole killing Irina thing so they were trying to rush forward to kill them but my father was trying to talk them out if it. I looked to my left to see Ren was on top of Jacob.

I sighed in frustration. Who gives a shit about me?

Aro then made a speech about how the child was dangerous and should be destroyed.

I wasn't the only one that noticed he said 'child' instead of 'children'. He was only talking about one.

But which one? was the question.

"Alice," I heard Edward mutter.

Oh great, the psychic was back.

"Alice! My dear, dear Alice, we're so glad to see you here, after all." Aro said, in an almost gleeful manner.

Alice and Jasper quickly approached the Volturi guard before some of the guard rushed forward and held them back from the kings.

"I have evidence the children won't be a risk to our kind. Let me show you." Alice said extending her hand out from the guards.

"Brother?" Caius questioned. Aro raised his hands and eagerly waved Alice forward.

He took her hands into his. I felt another flash of jealousy as Alice touched Aro. I didn't like it.

He suddenly released her hands as if he had been shocked, looking at her before glancing back to our side, looking at us before his gaze finally rested on me.

He shook his head, mouthing the word 'no' to himself.

"Now you know. That's your future. Unless you decided on another course." she spat at him.

"We cannot alter our course. The children still poses a grave threat." Caius tried to persuade.

"But what if you were sure they could remain concealed from the human world? Could we leave in peace?" Edward called.

"Of course. But that cannot be known." Caius snorted.

"Actually, it can." he replied before everyone looked back to see someone approaching us.

A man tall and muscular, with an olive tone to his skin passed me with a woman by his side. She was even more beautiful then Rose. They approached the vampire kings and Nahuel told them his story.

"I am half human, half vampire. Like the children. A vampire seduced my mother, who died giving birth to me. My aunt Huilen," he gestured towards the beautiful woman standing next to him, "raised me as her own. I made her immortal."

"How old are you?" Bella asked.

"One hundred and fifty years,"

"At what age did you reach maturity?" Aro and his brothers stepped closer.

"I became full-grown seven years after my birth. I have not changed since then."

"And your diet?" Aro asked.

"Blood, human food. I can survive on either."

"These children are much like us." Marcus said to Aro.

"Regardless, the Cullen's have been consorting with werewolves. Our natural enemies." Aro laid a hand on Caius arm shaking his head.

"Dear ones, there is no danger here. We will not fight... today." Aro said to the Volturi guard and witnesses.

Caius looked very put out there was no fight while Marcus just smiled. One by one they all ran back to where they came from.

Aro blurred half the way before turning around and looking directly at me. He seemed to be trying to convey a message to me.

I'll be waiting for you.

I gave him a discreet nod and he was gone.

There was a pain in my chest as he got farther and farther away before it just stopped. I sighed in relief, he was waiting for me.

I looked at everyone to see they were all distracted with each other. All the mated pairs were sharing a passionate kiss with their lovers and my parents were hugging Ren tightly to their chest.

Forgetting about me, surprise surprise.

"I'm so glad your okay Nessie,"

I gritted my teeth together but began to back away from them. They were too caught up in their lives to see me slip away into the forest.

The trees blurred past me as I sprinted through them, desperate to find Aro.

I looked behind me to make sure they weren't following me and I crashed into someone's legs. I gasped looking up before sighing in relief.

It was only Aro.

He crouched down to me and I wasted no time, throwing my arms around his neck as I let the silent tears fall out of my eyes and onto his deep black cloak.

"Shh, little one. I'm here. I've got you mia cara," he cooed picking me up and placing me on his hip.

His right arm wrapped around my back while his left hand cradled the back of my head as he ran to catch up with the Volturi guard.

All the witnesses had already scattered at this point and they were only left with Aro's guard.

He turned towards Marcus to speak with him. He said something I didn't quite catch in an unfamiliar language before he carried me on board a private jet I had no idea was there.

He took me to the back of the plane and laid me down on the thick bed, pulling the silk sheets around me before climbing in beside me.

He stroked my curly hair, assuring me he would be here when I woke up.

I felt the plane take off before falling asleep, and for the first time their weren't any tears on my face.

Instead there lay a smile.

This was what I wanted.

To be taken away.

To be loved.

Fin.
