Tony POV

This is awful. This sister of mine, the one I love so dearly, is feeling more like a burden on my shoulders than a good friend. She's obsessed with this stupid little family. I mean seriously, we got along fine for a couple hundred years, why change that now? Jane drilled some things into my head, and I have to admit some of it makes sense.

Why fix what's not broken. That's the one that really got to me.

Our family is fine. Great, even. I mean, yeah we have our ups and downs, but so does every other family in the world.

So why fix it? It's not like reuniting with these other Cullens would actually help us, right?

Sitting at my desk, I pondered what I could do. Suddenly, out of the middle of nowhere, a memory came rushing back at me from the recesses of my mind. I had pushed it back, closed the door, built a wall, put a gate around it and thrown away the key.

But it came back to me.

And finally I understood.

FLASHBACK

Jane and I were sitting on her bed, and she was curled up into my side, complaining about how she never got to spend any time with me because of my stupid sister. I was ignoring that, because I loved Mattie.

Alec glided into the room. He turned his ruby eyes on me. "Anthony, the master Aro would like to speak to you in hiss throne room. Immediately. He does not like to be kept waiting." And he slid out.

I sat up and gently pushed Jane off me. Stretching, I headed out into the dark hallway, lit only by candles in the walls. Jane got up behind me, adjusted her black cloak and padded after me.

Reaching the throne room, I nodded at Feliz and Demetri who were guarding the door. They glared at me but opened the double door.

Aro was perched on a red and sliver throne with a high back. I almost snickered at how medieval it looked. Aro looked dreadfully bored, and his eyes had a glazed over look.

I cleared my throat and he looked up.

"Ah, Anthony, how are you today?" he questioned, surveying me.

"I'm fine, Aro, thanks for asking." I told him with a hint of sarcasm. He didn't seem to notice.

"I've asked you here today for an important reason." He announced, twirling his pale hair absently. "Cauis," he snapped, "bring me the item I spoke to you about earlier,"

Cauis scurried off to God knows where. He came back, holding a glass mirror. The pale purple frame was embedded with gems and it had a layer of gloss making it shiny and mesmerizing.

"This, my boy, is a mirror." I snorted. He glanced at me, eyebrows raised. "Sorry," I muttered. He continued. "Not just any mirror, though. It can see important events happening in the future. Now I will call it again, as I have already and seen something you might want to know." He tapped it 3 times and it sprung to life. A white haze engulfed it and a little vampire girl, not even 10 years old, push over a table quickly. I looked at her, confused about the immortal child. I shrugged it off. Aro had his ways.

Laying the magic mirror on the table, he tapped it another 3 times and a crack of thunder rang through the room. A projection appeared on the table from the mirror. It was Mattie.

She was staring at some people in awe. There were seven of them, vampires and beautiful. Mattie started, "I never thought I'd meet all of you. Never, ever." She raced up and hugged them. The view switched to me, standing in the corner sulking.

The projection stopped. Aro leaned back and looked at me appraisingly. I shrugged. "Who're they?"

"You don't need to know that yet. Now, when this situation arises, I am giving you and incredible offer.

Come and join the Volturi."

END FLASHBACK

A slow smile spread across my face. Hearing Mattie rush outside, I assumed the others were here. I made a split decision.

Grabbing my backpack, I stuffed a fake ID with general info and loads of cash in case I got into trouble. Shoving in a passport I zipped it up halfway. Then I noticed a picture album on my nightstand. Gently lifting it I flipped through the photos. All five of us on the day we were born. Every week of our lives. The five of us on the first day of high school, when we finally stopped growing. The last picture almost broke my heart. Mattie was dressed in a pair of jean shorts and a sky blue shirt. It was her new one and her favorite. We were in the backyard in the picture. Ally, Lily, and Caddie were on the swings in the background, and Matt and I in the camera shot. She had just slipped in the mud and ruined her new shirt. Her 5 month old face was tear stained and red. We were sitting on the porch and she was sitting on my lap. Her body was incredibly small and frail against mine, for, putting it in animal terms, she was the runt of the litter.

Abruptly closing the book I put it in my pack. Opening the window silently, I slunk outside.

So sorry about the late update!!! My internet wasn't working so I couldn't update…. :(

Sorry bout the shortness, too.....
