Hey! I know I said that I would only update on Saturday's but I had wrote this on Sunday, I think, so I decided to put this up. I would have put it up sooner but I was trying to find a ong that fit the chapter but I couldn't find it anywhere! So I gave up so this is a songless chapter =(

I would like to thank futurecullen26, bellamarieswancullen and xoxoSUMMER RAINExoxo! Thank you guys! XD

Hope you enjoy this chapter and let me know what you think, please?!

I spun round to face Jake. His eyebrows were pulled into a frown and he was biting his lip in worry.

'We have to go.' I whispered though there was no point.

Everyone was watching us. Obviously Sam and Seth had heard what Daddy had said and Emily and Kristen heard bits of the conversation.

'What if it's the Volturi?' He asked his voice deep with concern.

'So what if it is?'

'Stay here it's safer.' Why would I stay here?

'I can't stay here Jake. If it is the Volturi they will track me and my sent will lead them straight here. I am not putting anyone in any unnecessary danger. Think about your Dad, the twins.' I could see that he wasn't going to budge. 'Jake how many times have I been to your house?' I asked but didn't wait for an answer. 'My sent is all over your place and the Volturi wouldn't hesitate in killing your Dad to find me. So it's safer for everyone if I go.' I was begging him with my eyes but I could see that he wouldn't let me go. 'Please.' I whispered.

That got him. I could see it in his eyes that I had won. I had used my defeated voice and minor puppy dog eyes. It always gets to him as long as I don't lay on the puppy face too thick.

'Fine,' he sighed, 'on one condition.' I nodded my head. 'I go with you and you do what I say. If I tell you to run, you run. If I tell you to hide, you hide. If I tell you to go and leave me, you do that.' I was about to argue with the last one but he gave me his serious, Alpha face so I shut up. 'You got it?' He asked.

I didn't particularly like the idea of leaving him behind but I nodded anyway. You can't argue with him when he is like this.

'I need your word that you will do what I say when I say. Do you promise?'

'Yes, of course.' I stammered.

I really didn't want to think about what would make him tell me to leave him, run and hide. I shuddered at the thought of him getting hurt. I couldn't think it, I wouldn't.

'Sorry about this.' I said to Sam, Seth, Kristen and Emily. 'The food was delicious.' I smiled at Emily who pulled me into a hug and a few seconds later Kristen joined in too.

'Be safe.' Emily whispered in my ear.

Seth gave me one of his bone crunching hugs then Sam hugged me as well.

'We have to go. I love you guys.'

Jake and I started walking outside but I stopped when I heard footsteps following us. I turned around to find Sam and Seth only a few steps behind me.

'What are you doing?' I asked them, surely they weren't thinking of coming with us.

'We're coming with you.' Great, now I get to deal with them and whoever is back home is probably getting more and more impatient by the second.

'No you're not.' They were about to interrupt me but I continued. 'You can't come because what if something happened to you? Sam, Emily needs you, the twins need you. Seth, Kristen needs you here. What if something happens to you? Would you really want Tinsel and Chaske to grow up without a dad? Seth, Kristen just found you. Do you not know who painful it would be for her to lose you know? You are just getting to know each other, don't lose everything you have. Please?' I got to them.

I could see it in their eyes at the mention of their loved ones. They didn't want to lose them. I didn't blame them either. If I had what they had I wouldn't want to lose it either.

'Fine, but if things go south call us and we will be there in a second.

'Ok.' I told them.

I wasn't being honest with them. There was no way that I would endanger them and their families. I would never be able to live with myself if I tore their family apart by a stupid phone call.

Jake beeped the horn of the rabbit at me so I sprinted away from Sam and Seth and climbed into the car. Jake started to drive away. I could see Sam and Seth standing on the porch with Emily and Kristen in the doorway. The twins were standing in the living room window and waving at us. I waved back at them then we turned a corner and they were lost from sight. I turned round in my seat to look at the road ahead. Jake took my hand and squeezed it.

'You're going to be ok. Eddie was probably over reacting.'

'Probably.'

He had managed to change the subject for a while but my mind slipped back to who was waiting at home. I couldn't be the Volturi, could it? No it couldn't be, there was no way that dad would have phoned me to tell me to get back to the house if the Volturi were. Though he might want to make sure that no one down in La Push got hurt if the vamps came looking for me. It could be Grandpa Charlie and daddy was just playing a joke on me but then, dad isn't really one to joke around. Maybe it was Uncle Emmet trying to scare me. Maybe he stole dad's phone and called me. Vampires are really good at copying people's voices.

'What are you concentrating so hard about?'

'Oh nothing really.' He didn't ask me what I was really thinking about.

I guess he thought that I was feeling kind of scared because he squeezed my hand again and smiled encouragingly at me when I looked at him. Gosh, I love that man!

We pulled up in front of the house. I could see into the house because of the glass windows but I couldn't see anyone. That was weird.

Jake leaned over to me and kissed the top of my head. His lips lingered as he smoothed the back of my hair. He rubbed his hand up and down my arm which sent goose bumps all over my body. He pulled away with a sad smile. 'I love you.' He whispered.

'Love you too.' I whispered back.

He smiled again and opened his door. I copied him and stepped out into the cold air. There was a cool wind that blew through the forest towards us. I couldn't hear any animals scurrying about and the only heartbeats I could hear where mine and Jake's.

I walked around to meet Jake in front of the car. He took my hand and together we walked up the couple of steps to the front door. It was unlocked so I pushed it open. I was soundless as it sung back to let Jake and I enter. Still I could hear no sound, no indication of movement. We walked through the hall and passed the kitchen, no one there. We continued down the hall stopping to look in rooms as we passed. The house was empty and quiet. It was only when we reached the dining room that we saw any sign of a struggle. A single chair had been knocked over and a glass was smashed.

Where was everybody? What had happened? Emmet and Jasper were probably just play fighting, but in the dining room? No, they know better than that.

'Come, on. Let's keep looking.' Jake pulled me away from the room.

Every sigh of the wind and every squeak of Jake's shoes made me jump a mile. Every time I did so Jake would squeeze made hand, rub my back and tell me that everything was going to be ok. I wished that I could have believed him but everything was too weird.

Where was my family?

Eventually we reached the back garden and what I saw made my heart leap and then shatter all in a matter of seconds. I wanted to curl up in a ball, in a corner and cry. I didn't though, I couldn't show any sign of weakness. Not know.

My family were there standing outside in the garden. They stood separate from each other. Grandma Esme next to the flower bed which she had taken months to grow. It was full of tulips, freesia, carnations, peonies and lilies. Auntie Rose was the closest to her. She was standing under one of the trees gritting her teeth. Aunt Alice was to Auntie Rose's left. She looked so small compared to the fence which toward over her from behind. Uncle Jasper was half lying on the ground with his face scrunched up in pain. Grandpa Carlisle was next to him and he had such longing in his eyes, like all he wanted to do was comfort Jasper in any way he could and tell him it was going to be ok. Uncle Emmet was trying to act brave but I could tell that he was crying inside. Daddy was standing tall trying to be brave, like Emmet, for my mum. Mum was next to daddy. She looked weak; she must be trying to block everyone's minds.

I started crying. Uncontrollable tears streaked down my cheeks, my body was shaking from the gasps I was making. Behind all the women of the family was a member of the Volturi with their arms around my family's necks getting ready to snap them. Uncle Emmet, Uncle Jasper, Grandpa Carlisle and Daddy were all being restrained by two members of the Volturi guard.

I felt Jake's hand slip from mine. I spun round and saw Jake being dragged away from me by more Volturi members.

'No!' I screamed and started running towards him but I was flung backwards by an invisible force.

I landed with a thud in the grass. I was aching all over but I got back up to my feet anyway. The tears were coming hard and fast now. I tried to wipe them away but every time I wiped away one two more would take its place. My family were watching me, begging me with their eyes to run. I wouldn't there was no way I was leaving them behind.

'I was wondering when you were going to show up.' A cold voice full of hatred said from within the shadows. 'I have got to say it was quite easy getting you hear.' The voice laughed. 'Ness, you need to get back here. Now!' He mimicked my daddy's voice perfectly.

I heard the crushing of metal and something landed at my feet. I looked down and recognised my daddy's mobile.

'What do want?' I asked, my voice sounded a lot stronger than I felt.

'I think I should introduce myself. I'm Zephyr, this is Liberty,' he indicated a beautiful woman; she had caramel waist length hair and held herself like a model. 'This is Layton, Jade, Harley, Lavender,' I cut him off.

'Cut the bull and tell me what you want!' I don't usually like swearing but I was upset and bull is an animal so it doesn't technically count.

'Watch your tongue.' Zephyr flicked his hand at me and I felt like I had been slapped across my face. 'You really should learn some manners.' His eyes had gone from pitch black to bright red in a couple of seconds.

He took another step out of the shadows towards me. He had hair so black that it put the night sky to shame. His skin was extremely pale, even for a vampire, though his hair probably made it look paler. He was tall, really tall. Probably 6 foot 4.

'You're not the Volturi.' I stated.

He smiled at me but it wasn't a warm smile. It was cold and unwelcoming and it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. 'Of course not.' He laughed but the sound wasn't friendly.

'But Alec,' He interrupted me,

'Oh Liberty here is a shape shifter; she can turn into whatever she wants. Show her.' He ordered.

'My pleasure.' Her voice changed to Alec's before her body did but when she fully changed she did so in a few seconds. 'I just wanted to see what you look like now. It has been years since we last met. Has it not?' She or he copied what he or she had said to me earlier when he or she had talked to me while pretending to be Alec.

She turned back into herself and stood beside Zephyr. She grinned at me and like Zephyr's it wasn't warm or friendly at all.

'What do you want?' I repeated. 'What's the rush? We have all day.'

'Please just tell me.' I begged on the verge of bursting into tears, again.

'What I want?' He asked, playing with me.

'Yes.' I choked out.

'What I really need?'

'Please.' I begged again.

'I need your help.'
