While she was at the club she met up with Nyssa, Alicia, Naminé, Ren, and Kyrie, she looked sad the whole time and the girls started to notice, "Elena, are you alright Hun?" Ren asked, Kyrie slammed her elbows on the table and put her head between her fists, "Yeah you look really sad…does someone need a hug?" Kyrie held her arms out; Elena laughed slightly and gave Kyrie her hug. Kyrie's smile grew much bigger, "There feel better?" Elena smiled, "Yeah I actually do. But there's a problem."

"What is it?" Alicia asked, tilting her head a little to the side. Elena sighed, "Azrael found me again." Ren smirked, "That's all you're worried about? Honey we got you away from him once, I'm sure we could do it again." Elena smiled at that memory, "Yes, but that isn't it, he threatened you, all of you and…" Elena instantly shut her mouth, "And who?" Naminé asked.

"It's no one, don't worry about it. But anyway, he threatened you guys and I know what they're capable of if they all came after us at once." Nyssa looked down thinking, "Yeah that is true, we wouldn't stand a chance if it was all of them. Well what should we do?" Elena sighed and dropped her head, "We have to go to the Volturi and ask for help."

"Elena please tell me that isn't our only option." Naminé said, Elena looked at her sadly, "I'm sorry Naminé, but they're the only ones we can turn to. Mother is too important to jeopardize if they come looking for me." None of the girls fully trusted or even liked the Volturi, feeling that their sign of justice is written however they see fit, for the vampires' well-being or not. Ren sighed, "Alright, as long as we're all together and safe I don't care what we have to do."

"I'm in." Nyssa spoke up, "Me too." Alicia said, "I may not trust them but Elena's right, we'll be more safe there than anywhere else." Kyrie huffed and turned around with her back to them and her arms crossed over her chest, Elena sighed, "Kyrie you know we don't have any other option, I don't like it any more than you do but at least I know all of you are safe." Kyrie didn't budge, "Alright, alright I'll buy you three boxes of pocky." Kyrie turned her head slightly but snapped it back into place, Elena sighed, "Okay then five boxes." Kyrie jumped around and smiled, "Throw in a plushy and you got a deal." Elena smiled and Kyrie hugged her, all the girls looked at Naminé, "I can't let you have a party without me." All the girls smiled and they joined in a group hug. Elena pulled away suddenly, "We better get going now, I saw Azrael not far from here."

"Alright but let's get changed first, we saw what happened to your dress last time, it was a miracle we were able to repair it." Nyssa suggested, they all laughed then headed out.

As they arrived at the castle they saw Jane and Alec waiting outside for them, "What are you doing here?" Jane asked bitterly as she glared at Elena, "Take us to Aro we have a negotiation for him."

"I don't think you're in any position to negotiate especially since-"

"Jane." Alec said, "Follow us." Alec turned and started walking away, Jane sent one last glare at Elena then followed her brother and the girls followed closely behind.

As the throne room doors opened Aro smiled and rose to his feet, "Elena dear, we've missed you terribly." Elena nodded in respect, "Aro, I have come because I need your help."

"You're in no position to ask of anything of us, not after your little vanishing act." Caius spat out all of the girls aside from Elena glared at him. Aro held his arm up to Caius, "Now brother, let her speak, she is obvious in desperate need of assistance. Continue my dear." Elena nodded, "The girls behind me are my friends, they helped me escape from Azrael. But he has found me once more; he has threatened their lives and one of your guards as well. I cannot let them get hurt for my mistakes, so I beg of you please offer us sanctuary here." Caius was about to say something when Aro held his arm up, "we must discuss this privately. Please wait outside, I will send someone up for you momentarily." Elena curtsied slightly and left with the others.

About an hour later, Alec came up and got the girls, "Elena we accept your plea. However there is one thing we must do." Elena looked confused, "What is it?"

"Your friends shall have rooms of their own, you I'm sorry to say will have to be locked up in the tower, your punishment has not ended. However you will be fed more frequently than last time, I shall see to that myself my dear." The girls were not very happy with the arrangement for Elena, "Aro, sire, will we be able to visit Elena?" Naminé asked. Aro was about to speak till Caius spoke up, "Only under supervision of a guard."

The girls looked at Aro in hopes he will disagree, "Very well. Alec, please escort Elena up to the tower. Jane, Demetri show our guests to their rooms if you would."

Elena turned to her friends, as they whispered disagreements to her, "It's alright. If this is what I must endure to keep all of you safe then I'll take it." Alec walked over to her, "Time to go." Elena looked at him, "Okay." She gave her friends a reassured smiled before leaving the room with Alec.
