Sorry for the delay guys. My roommate and I just got approved and we're in the process of packing, painting and moving.

As always, I own only my OC.

Enjoy.

Chapter 10: Answers

"You two sicken me." I say as I glare at Emmett and Rose in a heavy make out session. I was just about to destroy Em's character in the game and he paused it. When looked over to yell at him I realized what happened. Rose. She's does to prevent the massive headache that is the sore loser Emmett. Every time I get close to winning she "distracts" him in a way that makes him end the game altogether.

"Find a mate then." Rose says from her comfortable position in her husband's lap.

"Please! Based off your families track record that could take centuries." I said with a roll of my eyes. I don't even want to think about that. It makes my heart ache. I thought with a grimace.

"Hey." Rose says as she pulls herself out of her husband's lap and scoots next to me, leaving Em to groan out in frustration. "You'll find someone and they won't ever be able to forget about you."

"And if they reject me?" I say and she frowns in response. After a few seconds she places her hand on my arm to get my attention. As I look up at her she then speaks.

"Mates are rare, the first time you meet someone who is compatible enough there's no doubt who they could be. The need for them you feel consumes all thought. There has never been an instance where someone rejected theirs. There have been instances where a mate ran into another compatible. It's extremely rare but it happens. Don't get me wrong there was a lot of confusion at first but they eventually became a very interesting triad." Rose sad with a smirk.

"What happened to them?" I asked and her face fell.

"No one is supposed to know. The only reason we know is because Edward overheard some snippets of memories." Rose said staring intently at me.

"I won't say a word. I swear." I vowed meeting Rosalie's gaze. After a minute or two of intense staring, and Emmet mumbling something about being "blocked," Rose finally nodded and continued.

"The only two survivors of the Romanian coven truly know besides the kings and some of the Volturi. Stefan, Vladimir and their shared mate." Rose said and my eyes shot open wide.

"I thought Vladimir was..."

"That's what they wanted the world to think. If the vampires at the time in which they ruled knew they shared a weakness so great, it would be too dangerous." Rose said. "At least that's what Edward could piece together from the memories they tried to keep hidden, but failed to, after they learned about Bella story with Edward and Jacob."

"Wow." I said and then a thought popped up in my mind. "Is that why Marcus is still alive after having his mate die? He's has another?" I asked and Rose sighed before answering.

"That is a question I'm pretty sure only the three kings know. Some say he's being manipulated by the gifted vampires at Aro's disposal. Others say Didyme made him promise to live and find happiness if she was ever killed. But the one thing everyone has agreed on is that he is waiting for something, whether it's death or life no one knows." She finished sadly.

"And how long has he been waiting?" I asked and I think a part of her knew I was worried I would have to wait just as long so she changed the subject.

"A while." Rose said in a forced cheerful voice. "Now if you don't mind, I have something I need my mate to help me with upstairs." She said with a heated glance at her husband. Emmett didn't need anymore hints as he smiled back and scooped the love of his life up in his arms. With a wink towards their friend they both disappeared upstairs.

"Ugh." Sickening.

Two Days Later

The whole family got back home from school, work, and a trip to the store to keep up appearances and they were gathered in the dining room as I walked into the house.

"Kenna, would you please join us?" Carlisle asked, voice tight.

As I walked into the dining area and saw everyone seated and either looking grim or staring at me I froze.

"Emmett told me to." Was the first thing that blurted out my mouth.

"Hey!" Emmett exclaimed after he registered what I said. "Not cool man!"

With a soft smile Carlisle shook his head and gestured at the extra chair at the table. "This isn't about that." He said as I sat down.

"Come on! Why is it always my fault?!" Emmett said and looked towards his wife who patted his hand in comfort.

"That's because it usually is dear." She said and everyone around the table let out a chuckle as Em started to pout. After a few moments the room returned to its heavy atmosphere.

"We're here because Alice has finally told us about her visions." Esme said with a tight smile.

"Why didn't you wait for me before you started then?" I asked looking to Alice.

"You weren't ready to hear all of it yet." She said and I rolled my eyes.

"Of course I'm not." I said sarcastically. "Well can you at least tell me what I'm need for?" I asked, not expecting the answer I received.

"Yes." She said.

"Just what I-What?" Was my clever response.

"It's finally time you learn exactly what's at stake." Alice said.

"What changed?"

"I'm not sure, but this makes things a lot easier." Was her response.

"Okay..." I say not sure what to say next. "Then...why am I here?"

Jasper reaches over and grasps Alice's hand giving her a reassuring nod that she returns with a grateful smile before looking at the other severely. An unspoken agreement passing between them. But I can see the hesitation in some of those faces. Bella looks truly disturbed and is the only one not sitting by their mate.

"I already spoke with the kings about this before you were turned. I saw two covens that hated the Volturi join together and overthrow the Kings. In doing so they expose the humans to our existence and fear and violence spreads destroying everything. I gave Aro all the information he needed to destroy one which bought us six months." Alice says and pauses. I'm stunned for a few moments, Alice staring at me until I snap out of it and ask the question running through my mind.

"And why not give them what they needed to locate the other?" I asked, and Edward and Alice both look down. The heavy atmosphere almost triples. If I was a human I would have choked on it. It isn't until Jasper forces out calm into the room that Alice continues.

"The other coven has a relatively new vampire with an alarming ability. He has a strong gift of telekinesis. He would rip them apart before the guards could get within twenty feet. If things went as planned they would have had the numbers to attack within the week. This coven is made of three vampires. Stefan, Vladimir, and Samael." Alice said, and if my heart still beat it would have stuttered after hearing those names. "The remainder of the Romanian coven are done with running and waiting for a new power to come by. After we refused to hunt down the Volturi, after passing the trial, they decided they would take the matter into their own hands. After stumbling upon Samael they realized they could rule again, beating the three kings at their own game. As we speak they are searching for others who share their hatred for the Volturi and even turning some humans who think themselves already vampires and share in the idea that they should no longer hide. Once they gather numbers without drawing too much attention they plan on destroying the one obstacle in their way, the Volturi." Alice says with a far off look as if she's reliving the same vision again. "Right now they only have five in numbers. Once they reach thirty in numbers they plan on attacking. The older skilled vampire and newer ones taking out those without gifts and Samael following behind. Killing the powered ones that prove too much trouble."

"What about you Alice? Surely they would have thought you an enemy." I wondered.

"True." Alice says. "Stefan and Vladimir think they have me fooled. They think my gift only works if they actively seek out this end game so they're only truly planning up until they get the numbers they need then stopping. But my gift lets me see a little more than that. I guess they didn't truly listen to Bella and Edwards entire story. I knew they would end up together in the end because a small unconscious part of them wanted to. I don't just see what you actively plan for, I can see beyond that, I see things that might happen based off what one truly desires." She further explains.

"And me? why did you need my help so badly?" I asked.

"Our Coven plans on standing with the kings in this battle." Alice began. "If the Romanians win any anonymity we have in this world will be gone. We will be feared, hunted and it will take centuries before humanity would try to hear us out. We plan on fighting beside the Volturi. The Romanians won't make the battle showy in the beginning. Their counting on the element of surprise to win so they won't attack until they somehow know the majority of the guards and the kings to be in the throne room, most likely for feeding.

"Stefan, Vladimir and Samael will be the last to enter once the others keep them in one spot. They will most likely make a dramatic entrance with Samael holding them in a circle slowly ripping them to pieces until they get to the three kings. That's where you'll come in. You will be out of sight because as strong as Samael's gift is, it only works if he can see you somehow. That's why we need to train you to be a strong fighter, to get past any enemies left behind. But more than that we need you to train your gift as well because the only way we can stop this sadistic monster is if-"

"If I burn him before he can see me." I interrupt, finally seeing my role in all this. Alice nods and I lean back in my seat, taking a calming breath and staring up at the ceiling for a few minutes before looking back at Alice with a smirk. "If you told me this when I first met you I probably would have thought you were insane and took off."

"Which is why you needed to get to know us and understand what we were exactly before I said anything." Alice said with a sad smile. After a brief moment of silence the tiny pixie spoke again. "So, will you fight with us? I promise no more bullying, but real training." Everyone in the room stops breathing and I look at everyone around the table.

They're terrified, this is what they were hiding from me. If I walk away I could hide. Let the world burn and not have to stick to the shadows. I thought staring down at the table deep in thought, not noticing Edward twitch. But could I live with myself if I did. Sure I wouldn't have to watch my Uncle from a distance and he would know he wasn't completely alone, but would I want him to look at me like a monster every time he looked into my eyes. I may feed off animals on occasion but I have no problem with the normal human diet. I only stick to animals when I'm in the area due to the Cullen's treaty. No. I couldn't. And not just because of my family but Rose's as well. I know how much she wishes she was still human and this is the closest she'll ever get to it. I couldn't take that from her. I couldn't bear to be the reason Carlisle, Esme, Rose and Em lose their happiness, and I won't. After reaching my decision and looking back up I saw Edward relax and Alice let out a huge breath in relief.

"Really Alice, did you really doubt me?" I asked a little disappointment she thought I wouldn't help.

"Sorry, but one thing I've learned with my gift; rarely anything is one hundred percent." She responded.

"So...when does training start?" I asked and the forced calm disappeared and replaced with relief.

"After classes during the week and every weekend." Jasper sad with an smirk and gleam in his eye that made me uneasy. "I'll make you wish you were human and had the pleasure of fainting."

"Shit!" I may regret this, but at least this time the training will be more of a learning experience.

"Kenna!" Esme reprimanded.

"Sorry!" Was my immediate reasons and Emmett burst out in laughter the heavy atmosphere now gone entirely.

Third Person POV

Kenna had left the house a couple of minutes ago. Most likely to check up on her Uncle again. Once she was completely out of hearing distance the happy atmosphere disappeared and the silence was broken by Rosalie's chair slamming up against the wall with a loud BAM!

"Babe..." Emmett started to say, completely understanding her anger.

"So this is what you three were planning." Rose spit out through clenched teeth.

"Rose it-" Alice began.

"Don't! Don't you dare say it has to be this way again." Rose snapped at Alice with a growl which resulted in Jaspers rising to his feet and angling his body slightly in front of his mate. "Are all of you okay with this?! None of you are going to stop this?! She's our friend and you're all going to let her destroy herself over this."

"I'm sorry Rose. None of us want this to happen but you know there's just...no other way." Carlisle said looking sadly at his oldest daughter.

"I won't help you with this." Bella said getting up and running from the house to her cabin.

"I'm going to talk with her." Edward said.

"Don't." Alice said stopping him before he fully got up from his seat. "She won't change her mind. Pushing her anymore will only hinder us." Alice said.

"Do you not hear yourself?! My god, you sound like Aro!" Rose shouted and took off towards her room, Emmett right behind her.

Carlisle turned back to Alice after watch Emmett go to calm his wife.

"She'll come around eventually." Alice answered before he could speak his question.

Carlisle nodded and got up from his chair, holding out his hand for his wife who took it. They then left the house to hunt. The three left at the table sat there for several moments before Edward spoke.

"Now what?" Was all he said while looking out in the direction of the cabin he shared with his mate sadly.

"Now we train. We have five months left before the battle starts."

"How certain is that date Alice?" Edward asked.

"One hundred percent. Vladimir and Stefan plan on ending everything this year on the anniversary of their mates death." Was Alice's response.

"Then we better get ready." Jasper says as he helps Alice from her chair and the three go up to the Major's study to plan out the five months they have left.

I hope you liked it.
