"How do we know Tanis isn't setting us up?" Jasper ask as we pulled up to a dark pier were all we could see was a large ship.

"He's not brave enough to set us up." I replied and we all jumped as a dog jump onto the window followed by a flash light and a man looking at us from outside.

"You're trespassing. Get out of the car slowly so I can see your hands." The man said.

"We're here to see Lorenz Macaro." Selene told him and the man looked at her surprised.

"Get out of the car. Slowly! Show me your hands." He said pulling out a gun.

"So you want to see my hands, do you?" Selene told him and put the necklace up to the window and the man looked at it before nodding.

"Follow me." He said and we piled out of the car and followed him aboard the ship until we reached a large office with an older man sitting behind it. Selene handed the man the Necklace and he dismissed his men so we could talk.

"You're familiar with this, then?" I ask and he smiled before pushing the button and opening it.

"Intimately." He said before handing it back to Michael.

"You're Alexander Corvinus." Selene ask and he nodded.

"There was a time when I was known by that name. By any name, I am still your forefather." He said and the Cullen's gasp not believing a human could be alive for so long.

"How have you stayed hidden all these years?" Carlisle ask and Alexander look towards him for a moment.

"Day walkers. I never knew my blood could spawn so many different breeds of creatures. Even though your kind didn't come till much later." He mused before sighing.

"Centuries I've stood by and watched the havoc my sons had wrought each other and upon humanity. Not the legacy I prayed for the morning I watched them into this world. And a tiresome duty. Keeping the war contained, cleaning up the mess. Hiding my family's unfortunate history." He told us.

"Couldn't you have stopped it?" Alice ask.

"Yes." Selene answered for him.

"Could you kill your own sons?" He ask us.

"You know what Marcus will do. If he finds me, he finds William's prison. You need to help us stop him." Selene told him and Alexander stood to face us.

"You are asking me to help you kill my own son? You? A Death Dealer? How many innocents did you kill in the six century quest to avenge your family? Or you Bella. How many have died by your hand. Spare me yourself righteous declarations, you are no different from Marcus and even less noble than William, at least he cannot control his savagery." He told us angry and Selene and I hissed at him.

"Anything we've done can be laid at your feet. Hundreds of thousands have died because of your inability to accept that your sons are monsters, that they create monsters. You could have stopped all of this." I said to him in anger.

"Do not come groveling to me simply because you are weaker than your adversary." He told me and Edward hissed taking a step forward but I put my hand up to stop him.

"You know the devastation William caused before he was captured. He cannot be set free." Selene told him.

Before he could reply one of what we knew to be Marcus's spiked wing burst through the window and speared Michael in the chest. He screamed as he was pulled back through the window. Marcus taking Michael with him.

Selene grabbed the gun off Alexander's desk and he grabbed her.

"Wha-no, wait! You're no match for him." He told her but she ignored him and jumped head first out of the window.

"Selene" I yelled looking out the window to see her dive down a large whole in the boat and start shooting at Marcus.

"Where is your armory?" I demanded to Alexander.

"Down the hall to the left but you'll never be able to match his power." He told me and I scoffed at him.

"Watch me." I said before running with the Cullen's on my heels and ripping the door off the hinge of the Amory. Grabbing the first guns we saw we ran towards where I could feel Michael and Selene were.

When we arrived at the scene Michael was near death if not dead with a spear through his hand and chest and Marcus was drinking Selene's dripping blood.

"No." I yelled and shot my entire clip into Marcus causing him to drop Selene and shoot off knocking us over in the process of his flight.

"Michael." I could hear Selene calling and we ran to her side trying to help him. We removed him from the spears that were holding him in place and Selene and I as his creators worked on pouring blood into his open wounds and mouth trying to heal him but nothing we did seemed to work. And my heart ached for the pain in my sisters eyes as well as the empty feeling of not knowing if Michael was going to survive. He had become like a brother to me and I couldn't imagine him not here.

"No, no Michael. Look at me. Michael. Please. Please. Come on. Come on. Fuck." Selene cried as she tried getting his heart to start. Carlisle was helping as much as he could but we know with our kind if blood cannot heal them then nothing will.

We tried for who knows how long Selene and I getting lightheaded from the blood we were losing but it didn't matter.

The sound of footsteps made us all point our guns in the directions of Alexander's men running towards us.

"No, wait. Wait. If you want Marcus, you'll need Alexander's help." One of the men said and Selene and I nodded.

"Don't leave him here." She told him and he nodded telling a few of his men to move Michael to a safer spot as the rest of us followed them back towards Alexander's office where we found him leaning against the wall in a puddle of his own blood.

The Cullen's gasp and held their breath as he motioned for Selene and I to kneel which we did.

"Did he get the pendant?" Alexander ask us and we nodded.

"Yes." I whispered.

"He's too powerful for you, even with your day walkers help." He told us.

"You are the only one older than he is, the only one stronger. You could have killed him yourself." Selene told him and he shocked his head in sadness.

"No matter what he's become, he is my son. You are the last hope left, there is only one way to defeat him." He told us before picking up a knife and slicing open both of his wrist and holding them out to us.

"Quickly now, before there is no more legacy left in my veins." He told us when we hesitated.

"What will we become?" Selene ask.

"The future." He told us and the truth in his eyes made us believe him.

Barring our fangs we both together bit into his wrist and drank down his noble, immortal blood deeply until we were full.

I felt the immediate change. I felt stronger more powerful and who knew what else would change as the blood ran through our system, creating a new vampire.

"Go now." Alexander told us and we stood.

"Thank you." I told him and he nodded before we followed his men to an awaking helicopter and we all loaded in, seeing Michael's body already waiting for us.

Selene gave the pilot the location she knew Marcus was heading to and we took off for the final show down with Marcus and quite possible William as well.

Edward took my hand and held it tightly during the whole flight not knowing what was in store for us when we got there but no matter what, we were in this together.

One way or another this would end tonight.
