Immortal love

Disclaimer: Now that we are on the subject of Twilight – No es mío. Ce'nest pas le mien. Es ist meiner nicht. Non è il mio. Het is van mij niet. Não é o meu. это не является моим. Det er men ikke. 不是嗎. 私のものではありません. δεν είναι ορυχείο. 광산이 아니다. فليس من الألغام. не е моя. No és meu. To nije moj. To není moje. Se ei ole minun. זה לא שלי. यह मेरा नहीं है. To nie jest moje. Nu este a mea. Det är inte min. Це не моє. Nó không phải là tôi. Is est non mei. It is not mine.

Summary: The recently changed Esme has just married Carlisle, also a vampire, and love of her life. But a vampire king is convinced that she is his long lost love, or at least her reincarnation, and will do anything to have her.

(It is recommended that you read Eternal Love, Broken Love, and Dangerous Love first.)

Fight

Carlisle POV

The city was completely emptied of humans. I listened. There were no sounds of heartbeats. I could smell no blood. It was utterly silent. It was time to go.

We had two choices. One was to make our approach known and seen. The other was to sneak into the city. We picked the first, to show that we wished for peace. I led the formation, in the center. Edward was on my right, and Jasper was on my left. Emmett was on the other side of Edward, and Eleazar was by Jasper, all of them just a step or so behind me.

The gates of Volterra were unguarded as we passed through them. We walked through the silent cobblestone streets, pausing only at the Piazzo dei Priori. It was at the clock tower at this very plaza at which I had almost been killed as I tried to commit suicide.

We waited as robed figures emerged from the shadows of the alleyway and gathered in a much practiced formation. They stood completely and utterly still, watching us. Then they parted as Aro walked through the center.

"Carlisle, my friend, it's so good to see you!" Lies. "What can I do for you? And who are all of your friends here?"

"Enough, Aro," I growled. "We have come with peaceful intentions, so long as you return Esme, Bella, Alice, and Rosalie to us right now."

"I'm afraid that I can't do that, my old friend."

"And why not? You have no reason to keep them. They are in no danger of revealing our existence to the humans, nor are they endangering anybody else!"

"But what if they do not wish to return to you? What if they wish to stay?"

"Liar!" Maggie, the little girl from the Irish coven, screeched. "Everything you say is a lie!"

"And who are you to say that?" Aro asked, miffed.

"I can tell whether someone is lying or not, so do not even bother trying anymore," Maggie hissed.

"You cannot force us to return them," Aro replied to me.

"We can. Everyone gathered here today is willing to fight you," Edward shot back.

"Very well, then fight." Aro waved his hand carelessly as he stood off to the sidelines. They attacked.

I barely had time to move as everyone behind me lunged forward to retaliate. I must admit that Maria's newborns were actually doing a decent job. I watched as my sons released all of their fury onto the Volturi.

One of the guards appeared in front of me and pounced. I ducked out of the way and fought back. A giant stone hit him and knocked him out of the way. Benjamin smirked in satisfaction as he started for the next one.

I stopped and sniffed the air. There was a pungent smell. The wolves were coming soon. I saw everyone else in the battle arena pause as the whole entire pack – which seemed to have grown since we last saw them – ran in to the battlefield.

I saw Seth, with Renesmee on his back, keep to the sides in order to protect her, though I could see that he was dying to join the fight.

Then I noticed a giant russet-furred wolf by Sam. My eyes widened as I recognized him.

Jacob Black.

Ooh, drama? What will happen? Hmm...Oh, yeah, and I've set up a forum, Twilight related, obviously. I've never had one before, so if it doesn't show up, then can anyone who does know how to set up a forum send very clear step-by-step directions to me?
