Katherine's POV

"Katie, I love you… come with us," Demitri says. I glare at him and then I hear a growl come from behind me. Looking back I see Ethan run forward. He stands next to me and crosses his arms.

"Don't call me Katie, Demitri. My name is Katherine," I say. I put my hands on my hips and glare at him.

"Well, Katherine, you're coming home," Demitri says and he lunges at me. That isn't what shocks me though. What shocks me is Ethan jumping in front of me. What shocks me is the thunder clap that their bodies make upon contact. Even more, what shocks me is that Ethan and Demitri are fighting each other… over me. This makes my hatred of Demitri grow even more.

Jane's POV

Demitri is fighting the new born. It's rather amusing. He is actually having to work hard to win this one. Tilting my head I realize it's the newborn, the one whom we assume has the tremendous power. I stiffen; what to do?

I glance at Aro and we make eye contact. Slowly, I put my hand one his, hoping no body will notice…

Aro! What should I do? Do I take him down?

I pull away my hand and look at Aro. He nods and I know what I have to do now. It's not going to be a problem though. I take pleasure in doing these things. However I might wait a minute, seeing Demitri getting beaten up is a bit amusing.

Edward's POV

Aro! What should I do? Do I take him down? Jane was thinking. I didn't look at her. Instead I pretended to be watching the fight. I had to admit that Jane was right about one thing… watching Demitri struggle to win against Ethan was funny.

Yes. I hear Aro think. Of course Jane can't hear this, but I'm sure he gave her some sort of signal. I hear Jane think she'll wait a moment longer. That gives me just enough time to give Ella the signal, let her take my power, so she'll know when Jane is going to strike.

I cough and shift to my right foot, then glance at Ella. She noticed and soon I feel my sense of mind reading fade away. It's something I had to learn to feel. Ella taught me what to feel for. She taught every one in our family. However, the Volturi won't know if she takes there power, they won't feel it happen until they try to use their power.

Now our hope is in Ella's hands. I look at Alice, at Jasper, each other them is making eye contact with Ella. They're surrendering their power to her. I look at Katherine and Noah, they're doing the same thing. After it's done every one looks expectantly at Demitri and Ethan. They're still fighting and Jane is still going to give Demitri an unfair advantage. Our fate is now in Ella's hands. I hope she has a plan.

Ella's POV

I now possess every power that my family has. It's something I have only done a few times. Now, I watch Jane. Reading her mind I know when she is going to strike. That's when I realize if I can read her mind I don't need to see the future. Quickly, I return Alice's power to her.

Thanks, I hear her think. I smile slightly; I know that she feels in the dark with out her power. Quickly I return Noah's power to him as well. It's like my own power in a way. So I figure I don't exactly need it.

Thank you, I hear Noah think, should I lower it around all of us? I shake my head slightly. Not yet… I don't know if it'll be a problem or not.

Turning my attention back to the Volturi I take a deep breath and sift through all their powers. I send Katherine's power flying back to her. She notices, but doesn't say anything. She has been busy debating whether or not to jump in and help Ethan fight Demitri. Slowly, one by one I take away the Volturi's power. I keep the powers organized. It's like I have a filing cabinet in my head. 'Useful' 'Not Useful' 'Unsure'… that's how I organize them and soon I've come down to Jane.

I had decided to turn her power off as close to the moment she decided to use it as possible. I picture her in my mind as a giant light switch. I imagine myself reaching out my hand and just shutting her off. Just like that, a flick of the switch and it happens. I feel a surge of power. Never had I imagined that her power would be this strong. Maybe I should've expected it when I found out how strong Alec's power was. However I didn't… I rein in the power and stick it in the 'Useful' file.

Now I wait. It won't be long now. I hear her thinking of how much pain she wants to put Ethan in. whether she should put him in just enough to make him lose or so much that he'll be writhing on the ground screaming. That vicious bitch decides to go with the latter. She slowly begins to smile, something that Edward has told me is often a thing she does while inflicting pain on others.

However, she soon frowns. Jane thinks Ethan has been shielded by Noah. This really pisses me off. The bitch then decides to take down Noah. However she cannot. I think she is beginning to realize that she can't use her power on anyone. That her power is gone. I step forward. Past Carlisle, Edward and Alice and up close to where Ethan and Demitri are wrestling on the ground.

"Ethan," I whisper. So quietly that I have a feeling only he, with his sonic hearing can hear what I've said. He knows what I'm going to do. He doesn't need to read my mind, he's my brother and he knows.

I stare down at Demitri. He looks up at me quickly. Then he is writhing in pain on the ground. I find that I don't feel bad about this. He was trying to hurt my brother. He was trying to take Katherine away. I bet he was probably planning to take down Emmett because of their almost equal size. I feel myself push him to more and more pain. Ethan gets up, I'm sure he has gone to stand next to Katherine.

Suddenly I feel all eyes on me. As quickly as I started Demitri's torture I stop. I just break it off and he lies there panting and staring up at the sky. I look back at my family. Alice is smirking; I think her vision is going according to plan so far. I turn and look at The Volturi. Demitri has scuttled back to where Felix is, he is standing, glaring at me. Jane is glaring as well, but Aro is smiling.

"Dear girl," Aro says. I know what he's thinking, I know what he wants. I knew what he would want before I even could read his mind. Carlisle as well as Alice Edward and Katherine explained to me that once he saw what I could do he would try to get me to join them.

"No," I say, interrupting Aro, "I'm not coming with you. My family is here." Then I look at Jane and she is on the ground. She grabs her head, but doesn't scream. I'm putting her in pain. But she deserves every ounce. Aro looks panicked, no longer is he smiling at me.

I tilt my head a whip out a power I found in one of the Volturi guard. She's a somewhat new vampire. Only been with the Volturi for two years. Her name is Sarah and she has the power to render any one immobile. I use her power and soon every Volturi member is standing in the same position. Even Jane, who I stopped putting in pain, is standing up, behind Aro. Slowly I close my eyes, and then I open them and walk up to Aro.

"Aro, leave," I say. "We aren't hostile people. We live in peace and don't bother the humans; none of them know what we are. Carlisle has never considered taking over. I've read all the thoughts he has ever had; using your own nifty power, Aro. Maybe if you bothered to do that yourself you would know that Carlisle isn't going to over throw you. He just wants to live in peace; we all do."

I have read all of Carlisle's thoughts. I did before the Volturi actually got here, but when they were close enough for me to take Aro's power. Alice had told me when to do it. She told Carlisle to let me because it would help later on. So I did and once again Alice was correct. Reading Carlisle's thoughts has helped. Now I use Aro's power once more. I turn it on and put my hand on his cheek.

Aro's skin is dry and extremely pale. Touching it is fascinating but I try to keep my attention on his thoughts. All the thoughts he's ever had. Quickly I sift through the ones from before he met Carlisle. However all the ones that involve Carlisle seem to involve how Aro thinks he is going to be overthrown. I roll my eyes and laugh when I hear how he thinks of Carlisle as a threat.

I step back from him and he glares at me slightly. I chuckle again and return his power to him. Then I release the hold I have on him. Aro seems surprised that I've done this. However when he realizes it's only him he knows he's truly alone. None of his guard can help him. He has to do what I say, he can't run. I take his arm and start walking him to our side of the clearing.

Liking what you hear? I think. Aro jumps slightly and I smirk. Like he thought he was being discreet reading all my thoughts I've ever had. I wonder if he thought I wasn't using Edward's power.

You're amazing. Aro thinks.

I know. I think.

That's very conceited dear. Aro thinks.

Yes I know. However every one in my family has told me in some way how amazingly gifted I am so I know… you don't have to point it out. I think.

But that's not what I mean. Aro thinks and I stop. We're half way to where Carlisle is standing but I want to keep this going a little longer.

What do you mean?

Some one as powerful as you… usually they'll flip to our side in a heart beat. Most find that the place to be when you're so powerful is with the Volturi. But you…

I didn't flip…

Yes, and that, child, is what makes you amazing.

Oh… I see.

Now, what were you planning to do with me?

Didn't you already read all my thoughts?

Yes, but I want to seem polite and not like a know it all.

You're not that bad are you?

No… just obsessed with losing my power.

Ah, I see. I think and now we're in front of Carlisle.

You wish for me to read all his thoughts.

At least the ones about you and the Volturi.

Fine.

Thank you. I think.

You're welcome. Aro thinks. He looks at me, smiles slightly and then I let go of him. He can no longer hear my thoughts but I can hear his and what I hear is, Ho la sensazione che non sarà l'ultimo che vedo di lei. Quickly I make a mental note to ask Edward or maybe Carlisle what he said.

Oh, another cliff hanger. Heehee. Anywho, I'm not telling any of you what Aro said. try to figure it out, and if you do feel free to review with what you think he said. or just review. Only two more chapters and an epilogue. Cullens' fight outfits and the cover for this story are on my blog remember.
