So I'm on a plane to Italy and it's a painfully long flight. I told Jacob that even though I don't really have feelings for him anymore, it is still my duty to make things right. Grudgingly, he accepted my reasoning but he wasn't happy. I reassure him that Edward had been planning to break my heart and that I was the one who dumped him. This made him a little more willing for me to go to Italy. I promised him a lot of time with him when I get back.

Alice didn't really want to ask for my help but if there's someone who needs help then I'm going to help, regardless of circumstances that currently stand. I'm sitting near by the window in my civilian state and all I can do is just think. Alice had seen her brother go to the Volturi and asking to die. That makes us both cringe. The future is subjective, though, so Edward can change his mind at anytime he wants.

"There's a chance that they'll say no-and they might." Alice explains. "Aro is very fond of Carlisle so he doesn't want to offend him."

"So..."

"Edward has a back up plan for that. If he exposes our existence, that can get him destroyed quickly."

Edward, you are a moron of the highest order!

"If they agree to is request, then it's too late. If he comes up with a plan to offend them, we're too late. However, he tends to be dramatic...that can buy us some extra time."

Idiot, idiot, idiot!

I really shouldn't be berating Edward but he is acting far too dramatic. He shouldn't have feelings for me anymore since he planned on ditching me. Yet, I can't help but feel a bit sorry for the family so it's only right that I bring their son back to them. As for Rosalie, she deserves an ass-kicking for telling Edward that I was dead but I'll deal with her when I deliver her brother back to the family. For all I know, she could have said that to him out of her disdain for me but I'll hold off on that for now as well.

"Idiot," Alice mutters. "He keeps changing his mind on how he wants to die."

I had asked if Emmett and Jasper were along but she said no. It's possible that we could try to stop Edward but being the mind-reader that he is, he can easily pick up on their thoughts. It would make him act faster, though. That's why she needs me along. If he sees me alive and well, it could stop him dead in his tracks. It's a desperate move but when desperate times call for desperate measures...

"Tell me more about the Volturi." I say in a low whisper.

A business man in an aisle seat just moved himself in a position that made him look like he wasn't listening. He opens his laptop and puts on headphones so innocently so he doesn't get caught eavesdropping. I give him a very hard look, even though he's not paying attention. What an ass. I turn back to Alice

"How much did Edward tell you about them?"

"He told me that they're rulers of a warped version of Crystal Tokyo and that they should never be antagonized unless you have a death wish...idiot."

My companion smiles before telling me that it's absolutely abnormal for vampires, like the Cullens, to live in one spot and in peace. The Denali clan is under the same speculation. Even James' coven was rather unusual. Vampires typically travel in pairs or alone. The Cullen family is the largest coven in existence, save for the Volturi. I tell her that I had seen a picture of the original three and it turns out that they are well over three thousand years old.

Holy shit. I won't be surprised if they know of the Silver Millennium.

"Five make up the family. The guard doesn't count."

The Volturi do sound like an actual royal family now that I know they have a guard. Wow. Alice continues to say that they don't confront others and that no one else is stupid enough to try. They only leave the city to hand down punishment to transgressors. That's what Edward is going for. If he can't get his request to die granted then he's going to try to expose the vampire race to the world. That will make them act and fast.

Alice suddenly falls into a trance. I sit quietly in the darkened cabin. Time has been passing quickly without me noticing it.

"The time draws near." Pluto says.

Neo-Queen Serenity stands with her oldest Sailor Scout and peers into the timeline. Her beautiful face frowns as she looks on. She has heard of these vampires before but she has her faith in her Scout of the Night. She is a legend, after all, and it is likely that they have heard of her...just as it is likely they know of the Silver Millennium.

"They are dangerous and do not take things lightly."

"I have every bit of faith in her, Pluto." The silver-haired queen says. "She won't fail."

The dark-haired scout merely smiles.

"Can I get you ladies a pillow?" A flight attendant asks quietly.

"No, thank you." Alice replies, her smile brilliant.

I give him a smile as well and he's overwhelmed. He stumbles back to his post, which makes me giggle in response. I turn to my companion to see what the verdict is.

"They're deliberating, but the ultimate decision is that they are going to deny his request."

"So what now?"

"They're interested in his gift and as such, they're going to offer him a place on the guard."

"Interesting."

"Indeed. They don't want to destroy him."

Alice is very attuned to her brother, that much I can tell. She's very much like Usagi when she receives her visions. They come in clear as crystal. It's like getting a play-by-play at a sporting event but on a more serious level. Now that Edward has been denied his request, he's going to walk out into the sun at noon. I growl quietly.

We made it to Italy and now we're speeding in a stolen Porche-a bright, yellow one, I might add-towards Volterra. On our way there, she asks me the date, which is the nineteenth. According to Alice, it's Saint Marcus day. A Father Marcus (Marcus of the Volturi) is supposed to have driven all vampires away from the city nearly fifteen hundred years ago on this day. It's a day of celebration and recognition for the police department since Volterra is an amazingly safe city.

"Geez, Edward." I say out loud.

"See what I mean?"

"Sheesh."

We come to almost a full stop and that fucking irritates me. Time is ticking fast but Alice says the climb up the hill is the only way into the city. We're both on edge. As soon as we're near the front, we're off like a shot, ignoring a guard. Then we get to another guard and he's very apologetic when he sees the striking woman at the wheel. I see a wad of bills in a gloved hands. I shake my head. I'm not going to bother asking about it. The guard waves us on through but we're slowed up by foot traffic. Suddenly, she hisses.

"They're everywhere!"

I transform into Sailor Night and I'm out of the car like a shot. I start to feel out for Edward and find him at clock tower. I'm weaving through the people with relative ease before I come to an area where I can't even move. That forces me to take a chance and jump from the rooftops. I don't even care if people see me anymore. The gasps that I hear from the crowd are nothing to me. I look ahead and I see Edward on his way out.

No!

Damn it! I have to make it! I force myself to speed up as the tower starts to chime twelve noon. He can't see me but I can see him. I jump off the building that I'm on, making the crowd gasp, and land right in front of the golden idiot.

"Stop it right now, Edward." I order.
