Mitus pov

I was in an incredible amount of pain, nothing I ever felt before. I was still conscious enough to watch Skye reach an unimaginable power. Anger was running through me as she explained what happened in that sanction years ago, I was livid of how we never knew, and of how we just let it happen.

Skye reached out and ripped off Alec's head, you could hear every single piece of skin shred as the muscles, bones and tissues from neck separated from each other. His body fell limp to the floor and was consumed by a black flame. Skye lifted Alec's head up to view with her's and spoke softly.

"I can hear your soul screaming in agony and it's like music to my ears, I hope your soul rots in hell; I hope there is no mercy for you and what you have done."

Alec's head hissed at her before it combusted into black flames before turning to ash. Skye fell to her knees as blood dripped from her mouth and nose. The force that was holding us dropped and I fell to the ground. My eyes were still on Skye, her eyes rolled back and the rest of her body fell to the ground. I could hear her heart beat accelerating and her body started to convulse.

The one known as Bella rushed over to Skye picking her up and looking over to who I assumed was the leader of this coven. Together and with the little pixie like vampire, they took Skye to the cabin that was by the main house. Paul made his way over to me with Clayton leaning against him, his body was in slight shock from the pain Skye inflicted on him. I nodded my head and we all started to move over to where the vampires were and the pack of wolves, they all seemed stuck in their places from shock. The female wolf that I was fighting with earlier limped over to the group as well. Clayton looked over to one of the vampires he was blonde with thin small scars that ran all over his body.

"Jasper, now is not the time for any of us to be at odds, we all have information that will benefit each other. You know as well as I do, that we have just entered a war with the Volturi."

Clayton's southern accent was strained by the pain he was under. The other vampire seemed to understand and know Clayton somehow; he stepped forward and spoke softly his accent just as strong as Clayton's

"Let's all go inside and we'll talk. We all know we won't be able to do anything yet till Carlisle comes back and lets us know how Skye's doing." Jasper said as he turned on his heel and went into the house.

We followed behind limping, once inside I looked around at the house that I was in sixteen years ago. Paul helped me and Clayton down on the couch before sitting down on the floor next to us. The rest of the coven sat down as well, excluding the head of the coven, the pixie and her lover. The wolves had all phased back and sat on the floor next to the coven.

Jasper stood up and I watched as his jaw clenched, his hands turned to fists, and his eyes turned to one of anger. He spoke with a strained voice as if he was trying to control himself.

"Is it true Clayton, you left her there to suffer like that?"

"Jasper we didn't know, trust me if we knew we would have done anything to stop it." Clayton's voice broke towards the end of the sentence.

"I DON'T WANT YOUR EXCUSES CLAYTON, MY NIECE WAS HURT BECAUSE OF YOU THREE! YOU DID NOTHING TO PROTECT HER AFTER YOU STOLE HER FROM US!! I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE LOVES YOU THREE." Jasper yelled and took a step forward; his anger was rolling off him. Hitting all of us in crashing waves.

"GOD IF I KNEW TRUST ME I WOULD HAVE KILLED THE BASTARDS MYSELF, I WOULD HAVE KILLED MYSELF FOR HER IF I KNEW IT WOULD KEEP HER SAFE." Clayton stood as he yelled, his anguish and despair was rival towards Jasper's anger.

"BOTH OF YOU SIT DOWN!" The lead of the coven walked in and gave order. Jasper and Clayton sat down, but the tension was still in the room. The whole coven sided with Jasper; they hated us and if given the chances would tear us apart.

"I'm Carlisle, and this is the Cullen family." The lead of the coven offered me his hand.

"I'm Mitus and these two are Paul and Clayton." I stood taking his hand in a firm grasp. The man was respectable and showed wisdom, he was the only one that I felt easy with.

"Carlisle thank you for letting us live, I know that at the turn of events we should be dead for what we did to your family and your two daughters. I won't ask for your forgiveness, we had to do what we did. I'm sorry that it had to be that way, I'm sorry that we couldn't protect her better. But she wouldn't be alive today or in your hands now if we had not taken her from her family. As of now we know that the war has begun and I have feeling that the Volturi wants us all dead, old friendships with them have been broken, if there is one Volturi member that we could possible turn and trust would be Marcus but as we know he follows his brothers without care." I let out a breath and looked around the room; the coven weren't interrupting me, Paul and Clayton looked up at me in shock that I had apologized.

"I understand what you did Mitus even though it hurt us, I can understand. I know my friendship with the Volturi has been destroyed. But like you said if there is hope it lies with Marcus, which will be hard to go about." Carlisle says softly before turning to Jasper and looking between him and Clayton.

"Now as for strategies about protecting our family, the wolves, and Mitus's group as well as fighting the Volturi. I leave that up to Jasper, Clayton, and you Mitus; as far as I know you are the only three with war experience." Jasper and Clayton nodded, but the big vampire in the family stood up a little mad."

"What do you mean that they are the only three to come up with strategies, I would like to help with that." The big vampire boomed.

"Emmet, Jasper and Clayton both fought in the civil war and were officers; and what from what I heard Mitus was a general in the Spartan army. You can help Emmet but they have the most experience." Carlisle let out a sigh, as the Emmet let out a scoff before plopping down on the couch by the blonde beauty in defeat.

"Leah if you want to go see Skye you can go join Bella and Alice, she might be asleep but she's stable. As for you Mitus, Paul, and Clayton; I'll show you the guest room you three will be staying in and Esme can show you everything else." I nodded in thanks to shocked that Carlisle let us into his house, a pretty golden hair brunette stood up and went to Carlisle's side with a soft smile on her face. She must me Esme. The female wolf got up and dodged out the door to what I assume would be where Skye was, I tried not to let out a growl as she left.

Leah's pov

I tried to make it Bella and Alice's cabin as fast as I could; when I arrived the door was left open. I limped in making my way up stairs; tears were falling from my eyes in fear on how bad Skye could be. I sniffed out they're scents to where they were. I gently knocked on the door before opening it.

Bella and Alice were curled up on the sides of Skye, both of them shaking as they held back their sobs. Their eyes were filled with tears that would never fall. Two sets of black eyes looked up at the door at me.

"Alice, Bella, go out and hunt. I'll stay to watch Skye; I promise I won't hurt her. You two need to be fed and good, for when she wakes." Bella nodded at me hesitantly as she got up and went to Alice and picked her up as she was reluctant to leave Skye's side.

"Leah you better keep her safe so help me god I'll kill you myself." Alice growled as she grabbed the collar of my shirt, as Bella carried her by me out the door.

Bella narrowed her eyes in agreement with Alice at me. I gulped and nodded before closing the door after them and going over to Skye. I sat down on the edge of the bed looking down at her. Her chest rose and fell with shallow breaths. The heartbeat of her's that I heard was slowly and steady but it still sounded weak from the first time I heard the beat.

There were small dark circles under her eyes and her tanned skin looked slight pale. I let out a quivering breath trying not to cry. I slipped my extremely warm hand into hers that was warm like a normal human. My thumb absent mindedly ran across her knuckles. Her hand was smooth and soft except for her scarred and hard knuckles. I looked down at her hand seeing the thin white scar that covered knuckles. My mind went back to early today when she fought Alec, the chains had ripped parts of her shirt and you could see the thin scars that ran across her body.

I closed my eyes in anger, the things that were done to her brought such pain; not only to me but the Cullen family, the pack, and those damned leeches.

I never met Skye when she was a child with the Cullen's. I was out at another tribe that were shaped shifters too, Jacob sent me to go make a pact with them. I was happy that I didn't meet Skye back then cause if I did it would have broken me to find out that she was taken.

FLASHBACK

I had just come back from the Apache tribe after spending three years with them, learning their ways, learning their shape shifting, and making a pact with them. It had been a successful mission; they agreed and loved the fact of having a pact with our tribe. They shape shifted into bears and were well trained in the art form of their ancestors, Apache warriors.

I walked out of the terminal in the airport and saw Jacob waiting for me. He looked drained and depressed; Nessie wasn't with him which was odd. He was tense and when he hugged me I felt that he was fighting back a sob. We pulled back and didn't say anything till we got into his car.

"Jacob what's wrong? Where's Nessie?" I turned to him as he pulled out of the airport. He let out a sigh as his eyes filled with tears.

"Skye has been kidnapped, and we can't find her." He let out a choked sob, my eyes widened in shock. I never met the small girl but I heard so many stories of her, everyone loved. That included Jacob and the whole tribe.

"What do you mean you can't find her?" My voice was barely a whisper. We pulled into the reservation and stepped out onto my driveway of my house.

"The people that took her wiped away their scents and her's. They froze us from running after them. By the time we were released they were gone without a trace." Jacob finally broke and I wrapped my arms around him. He loved the little girl as a little sister. He couldn't hide his emotions anymore, he must have been there standing strong Nessie and Bella. I felt Jacob's tears soak my shirt; I closed my eyes stopping my own tears.

I snapped out of my thoughts when I felt a soft hand squeeze mine and a gentle voice enter my ears.

"A penny for your thoughts, usually thinking doesn't make people cry." I look down to see Skye's grey eyes looking up at me. My free hand went up to my cheek to notice that I was indeed crying.

AN: oh lord it has been forever since I've updated. I'm terribly sorry for that, this chapter made me take forever to get it right. Please review and tell me what you think.
