I was downstairs in the blink of a vampire eye. The Cullens and the pack came rushing in, and I screamed, as my former family(the Volturi) barreled in to meet them. I didn't want a fight to break out, but it seemed to be too late. Emmett was facing off with Dimitri, and Jasper took Felix. The pack was in wolf form, and I saw Collin and Seth making snaps at Jane who appeared helpless because her power couldn't get through Bella's shield. Renesmee and Hiedi were circling each other in a predatorial dance, and Rose was protecting Bella as she concentrated on keeping the shield in place. There was so much more that I couldn't keep track of, and I was about to jump in on the Cullen's side, when I noticed an eerie mist beginning to crawl along the floor...
It engulfed all of the Volturi, but didn't even attempt to get past Bella's shield. The Volturi stood still, their eyes wide and unseeing, including Jane.
"Destiny!" Nessie squealed, rushing to me.
"Nes! I missed you so much." I whispered into her curly bronze hair.
"I didn't protect you. I'm so sorry." She sounded disappointed in herself, and I realized then that she thought of me not only as her best friend, but as her little sister.
"Don't be." I didn't want her to feel bad. She couldn't have protected me.
"Destiny!" Seth yelled in excitement as soon as Nessie pulled away, tackling me in a hug. I don't know how I didn't fall over. He pulled back, and stared into my eyes for a long time, trying to create a moment probably, though I felt nothing, and said, "I love you." I didn't have time to reply, I was suddenly twenty feet away in Alec's arms as he growled.
"Back off, mutt." He hissed. Seth growled. And then I was being whisked away again, in the firey arms of Collin.
"Des!" He hugged me, and before I could even push him away, I heard a ferocious growl, a puppy-like yelp, and I was another 20 feet away as Collin lie bleeding on the floor.
"Alec!" I screeched. What had he done to him!? But Collin began healing right before my eyes, and he was good as new in a matter of seconds.
"Don't touch her." Alec warned. They had a menacing stare off for an immeasurable moment, but Collin eventually looked away in defeat.
I didn't even notice that Alec had allowed the mist to creep away from Jane until she grabbed me and pulled me to her, hugging me and saying how sorry she was for not being the best friend I deserved, while I said she was the perfect best friend.
Alec recovered from his aggressive behavior in a millisecond, and put on a dazzling smile as he said to Carlisle, "I apologize for being foolish enough to not join Destiny in becoming a vegetarian before, but if you would let me, I, and my sister probably too, would love to join your coven and learn your ways of life."
"And we promise not to use our powers to hurt any of you," Jane said in a surprisingly sweet voice. They still looked unsure, glancing nervously from one another.
"I will have to discuss this with my family privately." Carlisle said.
"Oh yes of course. I'm sorry, I would leave and allow you to have your conversation in here, but I must keep my, er, "family" under control," Alec said, nodding toward the stumbling vampires in the corner.
"I'm going to go with them, okay?" I said, kissing him on his cheek. He smiled, and watched me prance away with the Cullens and the wolves, so glad to be with my family again.
"No, no, no!" Renesmee, Collin, and Seth said in unision as soon as we were out of hearing distance from them.
"I don't want that freak coming with us," Collin said, and Seth nodded. I growled.
"He is NOT a freak! He is my FIANCEE!" I practically yelled at them. They paled, and shared wary glances. I hadn't even realized I had my teeth bared and I was crouched in an attacking position. I cleared my throat awkwardly, straightening up. I'm having some major issues lately.
"Fiancee?!?" Seth asked and they both looked crushed. I didn't even aknowledge them, just turned to an upset Destiny.
"I don't want Jane living with us!" She said. I should have seen this coming.
"Come on, Nes, she isn't that bad once you get to know her. She is actually really funny," I smiled at her, and after a second or two she sighed in defeat, crossing her arms over her chest and not saying another word.
"I know they can change. They are strong and determined, and if we give them our confidence and trust, you will see how amazing they can be. Besides, with them the Volturi can and will kill us as soon as they get the chance, without them, they are nearly powerless. Its pretty much our only option."
They looked at one another, communicating through their eyes like only a true, close family can, and finally Carlisle gave a sharp nod which meant they had accepted Alec and Jane
I smiled, and each of them tight hugs, promising they wouldn't regret it. Nessie looked sad.
"What's wrong?" I asked sadly, though I could guess. She laid her soft pale hand on my cheek, and my head filled with the image of me and Jane laughing and having fun, while Renesmee watched from the sidelines, a tear falling from her eye. It was obviously not something that really happened, she can't even cry, but it was still said.
"We will always be best friends. Nothing is going to change," I promised her, though I wasn't sure about the second one. There is no way I'm losing my friendship with her, but Jane might divide my attention.
"She's going to take you from me." She whispered, her bottom lip quivering.
"No one could ever take me from you. You mean everything to me, Nes." I smiled, trying to calm her. She smiled back slightly, though worry was still the main emotion on her face.
When we walked back into the main chamber, Alec and Jane were whispering softly. They stopped as soon as they saw us.
"We have decided that if you are willing resign from you positions as head of the guard, leave Italy to come back to America with us, and transfer to our way of life, we would love to accept you as part of our family." Carlisle said formaly.
"Thank-you so very much," Alec said, and I saw Jane give Renesmee a small, brief, but genuine smile, which
she returned with a confused yet happy one.
"I would feel much more comfortable if we could settle things peacefully with the Volturi now." Carlisle hinted, nodding toward the staggering group of immortals in the corner.
"Ah, yes. But be prepared, this could turn ugly in a heartbeat." Alec said, not meaning the pun, meaning that it could turn it could turn into a fight before we even realized it was going downhill.
And slowly, the mist crept back towards him. The Volturi looked furious.
"Alec!" Aro bellowed, "I am your Master! If you ever do that again, I will-" He stopped. How could anyone threaten Alec? He's practically unstoppable.
"Aro, Jane and I have decided to return to America with the Cullens to adopt their way of life," Alec said calmly. Aro looked at Carlisle with total hatred, and then his glare switched to me.
"You!" He hissed, then lunged for me. Everyone was in front of me in an instant, a shield of vampires, but I think Nessie felt she owed it to me to protect me from everything, so she ended up with him in a headlock before any of the guard members could stop her.
"Don't EVER even THINK about touching my BEST FRIEND," She growled, her teeth meer centimeters away from his throat, and then shoved him to the ground. He looked humiliated as we tried not to laugh. The king had just been thrown around by a teenage girl.
"I don't want conflict Aro. I am very sorry, I do not mean to take your family, but it is their choice." Carlisle said sincerely. Aro stared daggers at him. And with that, we all walked out cheerfully, excited for our new life.
