Thx for the reviews and likes. Maybe a sequel although I don't know if I can carry it on. Thx for the continuous support anyways.

Luv you all.

Back in Volterra

I had been pacing back and forth in the living room in impatience the entire day. There were so many thoughts I was so eager to do, it was driving me mad. And the separation was killing me.

It seemed that one person was watching me at all times. I had a feeling this was Alice's precaution that I would lose it and do something reckless and blow our cover.

Xavier was sitting casually at the kitchen table and was flipping through a magazine, occasionally shooting glances at me.

I sighed as I collapsed on the couch. There was a sudden new scent in the air and I jerked straight up. Xavier's head was up and alert too. I heard footsteps outside and by the time I yanked the door open, the person was gone. By then, everyone was downstairs flanking me as I looked at the object on the ground.

There was a letter laying innocently on the doorstep. I remembered the last time a letter showed up. It didn't end well. I carefully picked up the letter. I heard Alice barking orders and Emmett, Angelina and Embry to go scout the area and call William for assistance. Without seeing any danger, I ripped the letter open and began scanning it through.

You don't know who I am but I know who you are. All of you. I am an ally. I want to help. And I think it's best my identity remains a secret to ensure the plan works and my life and my loved one is preserved.

To get to the point, there is a house in Argentina. Near Iguazu Falls. It has an Italian flag not an Argentinian one that sways high in the air. The family residing there has the secret you need to get closer to your area of expertise.

I am here as an ally and I take to your best interests. Believe it or not, it's your only hope I can tell you that.

"What the hell?" Xavier asked reading over my shoulder. I read the letter over several times trying not to get the spark of wonder out of my system. A lead. This could be a lead. The lead we need. But as usual, there was it's severe consequence and I had a feeling Alice was about to state that.

"We can't listen to what some random letter tells us! It could be a trick and it could ultimately get us killed!" Alice exclaimed proving me right.

"I agree. It's way too dangerous." I said feeling a sense of deja vu. I had received letters with threats and it didn't end well that time when it was signed by someone, I couldn't possibly expect good results from listening to some crazed person writing to us without a signature despite what they said about their safety being jeopardized.

"This is not going to end well." Xavier murmured as we read the letter over in disbelief.

Back in Forks

"What...what the..?" I stuttered blinking in surprise. Mikayla looked just as shocked as I was. "Do you know who that was?" I asked my eyes wide.

"I...I don't know. Maybe. It's familiar I just can't remember." Mikayla said shocked.

"What's going on?" Tanya asked. The others looked back and forth between us as if this was a tennis match.

"That would be the result of that memory wiping." I said more to myself than anyone else. "But we need to figure out who that was. That persons' important I know that for sure." I said nodding.

"What? Who?" Leah asked looking in agitation left and right between us. I could tell she was getting irritated but I was so intrigued by this new piece of information I completely ignored her.

"Who do you think it is?" I asked Mikayla. She looked just as confused, surprised and intrigued as I did.

"I have no idea who it is exactly but I feel like I know her. I can't put a finger on who." she said shaking her head.

"We have to get your memory back so we can-" I said before I was rudely interrupted although I have to admit, I had to see this coming.

"Damn it Edward. We're not all gifted with your godly power of mind reading and would appreciate being told too." Leah snapped. Mikayla squeezed her hand apologetically.

I explained everything I heard and Mikayla nodded every now and then. The others sat there amazed and taken aback as they took in the new information.

"That's...unbelievable." Carman breathed in awe. She straightened her back and continued. "As soon as Eleazer gets back, we'll get her memory back. They should be back tonight."

We nodded. This was...something. And I had a feeling we were going to unravel something big.

Back in Volterra

When the others returned, finding nothing, they each read the letter and were struck into silence.

Once we were all finished, we sat in silence minus Alice who was probably still upstairs.

"I don't know what to say." Angelina said after a while. We were all sitting in a circle as we took in the news. William was staring hard at the letter.

"How about NO. No way in hell are we doing what some random letter that clearly looks like it was written by some psychotic maniac. I don't know what you bloodsuckers want to believe but I'm telling you that this is a trick!" Jacob spat glaring at nothing and no one in particular.

"Alice thought the same." I murmured.

"Well for once, I agree with the little pixie bloodsucker." Jacob said in a huff.

"I think I'm slightly more intelligent than the average pixie." Alice remarked as she walked down the stairs.

Jacob turned red and said no more.

"Embry since you're slightly less peeved, can you turn into a wolf and communicate this to the other group?" Alice asked. He nodded and within moments he was a large carnivore contacting the other large carnivores in Forks. Great method of contacting. Jacob suddenly snorted with laughter.

"What?" I asked narrowing my eyes in amusement and annoyance. How could anyone be laughing at a time like this?

"The look on the mind reader's puny face." Jacob said clutching his sides in laughter. I glared at him.

"They're shocked out of their minds right now." Jacob managed to choke out in between his unstoppable laughter. I continued to glare at his immaturity as we waited for a response.

"None of them think we should follow what that letter said." Embry confirmed turning back into human form.

"We figured as much." Xavier said sighing.

"So we can just toss the letter right?" Jacob asked regaining his composure. I rolled my eyes. He shouldn't have lost his composure in the first place.

"No. We shouldn't. It might be of use in the future. Mind if I keep it?" William asked. Alice handed it over cautiously. William noticed this but said nothing. Her caution was something any of us would have done but William didn't seem to mind. He looked like he was reminding himself that this was bound to happen. When he had the paper he read it over again looking at it intently as if trying to remember something.

"Saddle up because after tomorrow it's back to work." Alice said getting up and stretching.

Emmett groaned. "Who wants to go back to that shithole?" He grumbled to her back.

Back in Forks

Just as Carman predicted the group returned at 8 in the evening. Carlisle had reported that they weren't even allowed admission into the castle. Aro had sent felix to tell Carlisle and the group that Aro was far too busy to be talking with them and to come back another time. Carlisle and the group had gone back that day and demanded to see Aro and Felix had come out with the same message. Eventually, Alec and Jane came out and Jane was eyeing all of them clearly tempted to use her powers. It was only when Alec threatened to "take a visit" to Carlisle's granddaughter, that Carlisle had left.

I was fuming after the retelling of their trip to Volterra. I would shred Alec to bits and then I would serve it to the fire. Personally.

We then retold our events during their absence and Esme looked mortified by the end. Carlisle looked solemn. And the rest looked and listened in disbelief.

"Eleazer, Carman said you knew a way to get her memory back." Leah said sounding desperate for once.

Eleazer remained silent for a while. He looked at her and then Mikayla, as he analyzed the situation.

From what he thought, it sounded very difficult.

"I don't know." He finally breathed. Leah looked crestfallen and Mikayla looked devastated.

He turned to face me and we made eye contact I gave the slightest nod and he thanked me with his eyes.

I wasn't about to expect Eleazer to propose that solution to everyone. It was too dangerous and way too risky. Lives were precious. There were only so many things that a life could handle.

Rosalie then told the returning group the events of the letter that the inside group had received from the anonymous person.

As she retold the story, I couldn't help but feel restless as I thought about the last time we received a letter like that. Bella was so broken down and I...couldn't save it from happening. And now she was by herself, working for the Volturi and doing one of the most difficult and dangerous things.

It was extremely difficult, impossibly hard to resist tearing the Volturi members inside out. Or crushing them and killing every inch of them. I thirsted for their blood it was beyond me how Bella managed to withstand from doing things I imagined. She was so strong. But we all had our limits. Since there was only so much a life could handle.

Back in Volterra

A day passed in a blur and before I knew it, I was heading back to the Volturi with the rest of the inside group.

"I can't believe we've spent more than a month and a half here." I said shaking my head. Jacob snorted in his wolf form.

"It's been crazy in a bad way." Alice said agreeing with me.

"I can't wait for this to be over." Emmett said cracking his knuckles and we could all just imagine what he was imagining doing.

We walked into the building and found out what we were up to today.

"Alice, Emmett and Embry you're going to-" Xavier read before he was cut off.

"You're coming with us to go put some damned collars on some mutts. And not the wolf Embry. I'll take Angelina." Demetri said lightly as he crossed his arms. Behind him was a mini army of Ashers and the Volturi members mixed, looking ready for a fight. Embry and Xavier scowled. "It'll be your turn soon pup don't fret." Demetri whistled causing Jacob, Embry and I to growl.

"Like hell." I muttered. Demetri swiveled so fast to face me. He walked close to me so I could smell his intoxicating breath of blood.

"I wouldn't be talking." Demetri said quietly. "Your daughter isn't in a very nice position right now. She's hanging on with whatever's left of her. The little bit-" I couldn't help myself. All the anger that was boiling up within me was unleashed. I tackled him to the ground and it was too quick for him to fight back. I had him pinned to the floor and I turned to look at him. His face was smug but held a look of shock. Alice looked about ready to murder Demetri so she hadn't fully registered that I had him tackled and pinned. He smirked and waggled his eyebrows.

"Don't you have a husband? But I'm perfectly fine with adultery. I have experience." He said snarkily. He turned to look at Emmett pointedly at the last part. Alice regained her posture in time to grab Emmett. Xavier grabbed his other arm and Angelina grabbed his torso as they held him back from strangling Demetri.

"Bella." Alice said cautiously. "He's not worth it."

"I'm all worth it. 100% baby. You don't have I turned to him and my anger was pooling out and ready to do damage. I knelt down close to him and whispered.

"Don't you dare bring my husband into this. You disgust me. And don't ever threaten my daughter or family again." I said dangerously pressing my knees into his shoulder. "I don't give a damn if you work for the Volturi, don't ever threaten my family." I said and he raised an eyebrow in mock innocence. That was it. I've had it. I grit my teeth before slapping him hard across the cheek. I was fuming as I extracted myself and turned to leave with my family.

"I will kill him." Emmett swore as we walked. " But I think she handled that wonderfully." Emmett said proudly. "I could have probably done more damage but I couldn't leave that lasting impression. They'll be scared of crossing the big bad Bella." He chuckled. I sighed as I knew he would never let me forget this moment.

"I think she could get us into a lot of trouble." Alice said angrily. "But I completely stand by her. He insulted family. No one is allowed to do that." She said smiling. I smiled back.

"Your mood swings are alarming little pixie." Jacob commented as we headed to the main door to put some space between them and us and to find out where the rest of us were going.

"Your face will be alarming if you call me that once more." Alice said sweetly. He scowled but remained silent.

"The nerve of Demetri." Angelina said in disbelief. "How can anyone be so rude and obnoxious especially when he's associated with the group that put us in this position."

"I'm glad you put him in his place Bella. He had no right to say that." Xavier said seriously. I nodded my thanks and agreement.

"The look on the mind stalker's face was priceless!" Jacob howled with laughter. He and Embry had turned into wolves after I slapped Demetri and had been ready for a fight before Alice ushered us away. They had taken the opportunity to fill in the others on the Demetri vs Bella event-as they called it now. "But I can't say I disagree with the curses directed at the Volturi." He said cocking his head to the side.

"He deserved every word and assault you granted him." Angelina said clearly still disturbed by the past events.

"Not just him." I said. "The entire Volturi and Ashers for overstepping their power and resorting to this level of destruction. But...we can't stoop that low. Not ever. It's all that makes us human."

Back in Forks

I was thoroughly and overly furious over Demetri's attitude.

I was prepared and so tempted to go to Volterra that very moment and rip him to pieces and turn him to ash. That sounded like deja vu.

How dare he tell Bella such rude, obnoxious and impolite things that were false. He even flirted with her! Flirted! And you'd think that once you were married, people would stop hitting on your wife, but no. Demetri the two faced devil was always running like a crazed maniac from lady to lady without a thought. It was disgusting and disrespectful. He knew she was taken! And he threatened Bella with Renesmee? Threaten. He. Didn't. Dare.

Oh, he dared. I was fuming as I squeezed the chair I was sitting on. Without notice, it broke under my anger and I was on the floor. Within shear moments, I was on my feet and storming around the room. Everyone watched as I unleashed my anger on the poor things nearby.

I knocked over the coffee table as I began to pace the room and that alone was an accident. I snapped at anyone who dared to interrupt or even attempt to calm me down. I was in a fury that I don't think I've ever been in. And I think everyone finally got the hint. They watched as I paced back and forth. I squeezed three pillows until there was a pile of feathers on the floor. I gave out an angry, anguished cry at the end of it all.

I had to keep reminding myself that I was doing all this for my daughter's life. Renesmee. Renesmee. Renesmee. That got me calmer than anything anyone had tried to say. I couldn't imagine how Bella was feeling. How could she possibly keep her anger in check? Then I remembered when she slapped him and tackled him.

Good. Pride swelled in me slightly, calming me slightly more. But I was still unbelievably mad. It infuriated me how insufferable Demetri could be. This must have been how Emmett felt. Anger that he dared to flirt with the one that was yours. Sadness that you couldn't be the one to flirt and be with your loved one. Guilt that you couldn't prevent that from happening. Murderous because all you wanted in that moment was to get him back for torturing you and eyeing your love. And maybe jealousy. Jealousy because they were yours and you were there's. Husband-wife. Lover-lover. The world clearly disagreed.

I screamed in anguish as I collapsed to my knees and my face fell into my hands. And the screams continued.

Back in Volterra

"As I was saying earlier, and yes Demetri wasn't lying. Alice, Emmett and Angelina you three have to...put collars on the wolves in Peru." Xavier said sounding revolted. Angelina looked like she tasted something sour and Emmett and Alice looked solemn and disgusted. The three shakily left to meet up with Demetri and the Ashers. Xavier cleared his throat and continued. "William and Bella, you two are patrolling the hallways. Embry, Jacob and I are on dungeon duty." He said before walking off stiffly. You could tell how much he pitied Angelina.

"There's no way in hell Bella's going with him." Jacob said refusing to leave.

"I can handle myself Jake. Go before you start something that I'll have to finish." I said to him firmly. He scowled and Embry dragged him after Xavier.

"Sorry about that." I apologized feeling slightly ashamed at Jacob's behavior.

"Not at all. I sort of expected that coming after we proposed to be allies. I understand the necessary caution to all this." He said trying to lighten the mood as we walked down the rest of this corridor.

"I never got to thank you for agreeing to help us on this. Despite all the doubts and cautionary things we do, you've remained loyal. So thank you." I said looking at my feet.

"I have my reasons for revenge too. Our goals are the same. We just have different reasons and motivations for them." He said wisely.

We walked in silence for a while. Before I knew it, 2 hours passed in comfortable silence and didn't meet any issues along the way. We were rounding off the last few halls before heading to "lunch break".

"I'm sorry about your mother." I said looking at him. His jaw was locked before he responded.

"Believe me, it was hell finding out and even harder growing up. But it's definitely a major motivation to all this." He gave a weak smile that looked more like a grimace.

"And how are you and your father?" I asked carefully. "I don't mean to pry but.."

"It's...awkward. When he saw me, he finally recognized who I was and then the memories came flooding back. Ever since, I can tell he's been guilty of how I was raised and hatred for Aro and it's just plain awkward. I don't think we'll ever have a father-son relationship. It just doesn't feel right. I think too much has happened to ever give us that." William said gulping.

"I'm sorry." I said feeling pity for him. He would never have what Renesmee would. Despite the fact she was suffering constantly, she would get out. She still had a loving mother and father to return to. She always would. William didn't.

"Anyways." William said clearing his throat. "We should go do our reports." He said turning in the direction of the reporting offices. I nodded and followed. There was a loud clatter coming from the next hall. We ran after and we saw a cloak disappearing around the corner.

"Sh!" He hissed suddenly. I went rigid and observed our surroundings. There was no one in sight. But the scents were obviously there. But the place was swarming with vampires, it was difficult to tell if they were really actually nearby or if they were just scents in the building.

"Here." William said pulling something out of his pocket. It was a vial of pale pink liquid. He sprayed some all over him and instantly, I couldn't smell him anymore. It hid his scent perfectly.

"Where'd you..how'd you…?" I asked completely awed at the powers of the vial.

He grinned. "I did inherit my mother's brain." He said offering it to me. I cautiously took it and considered it. It would hide our scents as it did his but I didn't really know this guy. I still couldn't smell his scent and that was really a deciding factor for me. I pressed the button and the spray enveloped me and William sniffed the air. "Not a wiff." He said taking back the bottle and hastily stuffing it in his robes. We carefully stuck close to the walls as we neared the bedroom ward. I could hear voices from Aro's grand bedroom at the end of the hall. I bit my lip before continuing on our way. I was so nervous about getting caught, I thought for sure I was going to scream. Then I could clearly hear the voices. The voice didn't belong to Aro.

"When should we plot the war? The Cullen's won't know we're planning another one. They are fully dedicated to getting their daughter back, they'll be taken by surprise." An unknown voice boomed. I felt my blood run cold. A war? "They don't even have half their coven with them. Half are here and we can easily trick them into following us and boom! They're dead. The rest of the coven back in Forks will be easily outnumbered. If I remember what our inside guy said, they only have the Denali clan with them. We need to end them now. They're a powerful and rising coven who are enemies. Getting them to be part of the Volturi was just a part of the big plan. So was kidnapping their daughter. It'll be all too simple. We just have to pick the date."

"We can't consult Aro yet. They're watching him. But Aro approves of anything we decide. And we decide- A war."
