Today is the 13th of September, meaning its Bella's birthday. Her 10th birthday to be exact. It's been two years since the incident with Bella and Esme at Manticore, Bella is completely healed and possibly stronger thanks to all the training she has been doing with and without Emmett and Jasper. Bella's bonds with all of us are stronger than ever, we can all even be around her when she is bleeding as we found out when a training session with Emmett and weapons went wrong. She can also play the piano and guitar excellently, the result of her and Edward basically being inseparable. Esme told us one day about how Bella was singing some song off the TV and how amazing her singing voice was and we caught her singing with Edward and you can just tell that is going to be an amazing duet when they are older.

Anyways, back to today's plan. For Bella's 10th birthday we are having a weekend long party since Bella doesn't really need to sleep, although convincing Esme that was a lot harder than you would think, and going to watch movies and karaoke and things like that. Rose and I are currently at the mall, buying Bella new clothes and last minute birthday things. I look at Rose, who has her long blonde hair up in a nice tight pony tail, black boot cut jeans and white tank top with a gray cardigan and of course she had black heels on to match, she is Rose after all. I'm wearing a gray tank top with navy blue denim jeans, blue flats and a navy blue cardigan accessorised with a silver chain with a love heart on it around my neck.

It's Bella's birthday party, I glance at the steel clock on the wall and see that it's 2:30pm, and we are all sitting around watching her blow out the candles on her cake when we smell some all too familiar scents which cause disaster for us. The Volturi are here.

I came out of my vision and grabbed the phone out of my pocket and checked the time – 1:25pm. This isn't good.

"Rose, we need to get home like NOW!" Rose looked at me worried and also a bit annoyed that I had just used that tone on her. Typical Rose stuff, but I don't have time for it. We have an hour and five minutes before the Volturi decide to turn up. "The Volturi are going to pay us a little visit at home in just over an hour. We need to get home. Let's go back to the car and you can drive while I phone Carlisle and Edward to let them know what's happening." She just nodded as we walked as fast as we could go without people getting suspicious, but we knew we were pushing human speed. Once we were in Rose's red Mustang she sped out the driving lot whilst I got my phone out and dialled that oh so familiar number. He answered it just after the 3rd ring.

"Carlisle we have a problem. The Volturi are coming."
