A/N: Hey everyone. Sorry about the last chapter, but it had to be done to fit in with the story. I know some of you enjoyed it and some of you didn't – so I apologise for that. Anyway I hope the next chapter is better. Please read, review and enjoy!

The next chapter is going to be from two or three points of view. Jake and the others come into Volterra to rescue Nessie from the grasp of the Volturi – will they succeed?

RECAP. . .

'This is a gift from Aro, Marcus and myself. A gift to welcome you to your new life'

He opened his hand and gave it to me. It was a ring, decorated with a snake circling a scorpion (A/N: Don't ask me why – it was random!)

I rubbed the silver ring as I placed it on my finger.

'Perfect' Caius began 'it symbolises our power within the world of vampires, you are now truly a member of the Volturi'

I bowed and replied 'Thank you, Master'...

Caius' POV

I watched intently as Renesmee or should I now say Renia, stroked the ring which was hugging her finger. I wondered how such a little token meant that much to her. I token I told her had come from both myself and my brothers, but that was a lie, they did not even know she was here. I smiled as I watched her innocence playing on her face. Little did she know much of this was fake.

'Renia, follow Jane out of the room and she will show you more of Volterra I will call when I need you again, which will be soon' I smiled at her,

She returned the smile looking like a lamb being lead towards the slaughter. Jane motioned towards the door and Renia followed her, the door shut behind them.

I walked over to Hannah, who folded her arms and turned towards me.

'How long must we keep up this charade?' she asked exasperated. She was always impatience and never had the tolerance to wait.

'Hush Hannah, this pretence shall end soon, but first we must gain her trust, which I believe is almost in our hands' I told her,

'It is much easier to do this, whilst Aro and Marcus are absent, with some of the guards – but what happens when they return?'

'By then, my dear friend, Renia, will be no more' Hannah laughed at the thought of soon ridding the world of the half-vampire.

I sat back in my chair, Hannah taking a seat next to me, 'your plan has worked well so far, so I trust that it will continue to, master' her eyes of adoration looked at me – I knew her words were true.

I placed a hand under her chin 'Thank you, your honours towards me means a lot'.

Soon Jane and Renia entered the room once more; I took my hand from under her chin and stalked over to them,

I resumed my false pretence, 'did you enjoy exploring Volterra?' I asked her.

Her eyes zoned in on my face 'Yes, I never realised how vast and much history there was here'

'I am glad you enjoyed it'

While you can I chortled to myself in thought . . .

RECAP from the Cullens and the pack. . . .

The sky was alight with the glowing lives of the stars, providing us with just enough light.

We got out at once; I stretched my legs as I walked over to Edward, 'so what is this place?' I asked him

His eyes were dark and distressed, as he looked up at the stone stronghold, his face unreadable. Bella came to his side, the look on her face, matching his; she grabbed his hand and bit her lip.

'Welcome to Volterra' he muttered

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . .. .

Jake's POV

'Sheesh' Embry said 'talk about Dracula'

Although it was funny, it didn't seem the right time to making jokes. I looked towards Edward,

'Okay' Edward began; the group began to circle around Edward, ready for instructions.

'There's only one way into Volterra, and that's through the front gate' he coughed, he lowered his voice to a mere whisper 'there are normally two guards on the gate, both probably of the human nature'

'If its possible, I will read both their minds, then when they are distracted we'll move through the gates quickly and Jake and the rest of the pack can go in naturally without being detected. Then we will meet at the clock tower in the square'.

I nodded at the instructions and we began to walk towards the large stone entrance and up the steep hill. Edward raised a hand as we reached the gates into the city. We all halted behind him, his eyes were fierce with concentration, and then he gave a signal to the Cullens. They were gone within a blink of an eye. Edward remained behind and told me,

'Act natural, say you heard that Volterra was beautiful at night and being tourists you would want to see it, Good luck' I nodded and he disappeared from our sight. We had changed on the plane so we looked like the average holiday maker, in want of an interesting experience.

I looked towards the rest of the pack; they seemed tense and agitated,

'guys, relax, we're going to be fine, just be aware of everything, look after one another and if and when the time calls for it, shift and fight'

I placed a hand on Tia's shoulder 'Embry, watch out for her okay?' I asked him and he nodded in response. I knew he would they were connected as one, spiritually, like none other I had seen before.

Then I gave a signal and we began to walk to the front gate. There was a glass booth, and in it sitting two guards. Luckily there was no scent of them being vampires and immediately I could feel the pack relax behind me.

Act natural Edward's words were replaying in my head, as we walked at a gentle speed, the glass booth getting nearer with each new step. One of the guards looked over towards us and got up from his seat, sticking his head out of the widow,

'Hello?'

'Hello' I replied, now face to face with the man who spoke. He was rugged looking; the only smart thing was his uniform, a white shirt with a green jacket on top.

'Welcome to Volterra' the guard spoke – a usual greeting you would hear when entering an amusement park – but this trip was not fun or games.

'We were wondering if the city is still open to visit?' Embry asked 'My brothers and sisters were hoping we could see Volterra by night' he put a brotherly arms around Quil and Tia. The guard seemed happy enough with our explanation and nodded,

'Of course kids' he opened the wooden gate, which was barred the road up to the city from cars. We stepped through the gate and continued up towards the main part of the city.

We paced up the steep cobbled slop, hoping to reach the north side of the city soon.

Luckily, we made it easily to the clock tower; the moonlight shining eerily on the numbered face of the clock – perhaps a sign to us that time was running out. The air smelt at ease and free from the sickly sweet smell of the vampires, except for the Cullens.

I could sense they were in the shadows of the buildings, the darkness their ally. Edward came out from his hiding place of shadows and the others followed, creeping out of the gloom.

'Well done, guys' Edward said smiling 'you did well – he didn't suspect a thing'

He bent his long for and lifted up the metal grate from its hole into the sewer entrance. I looked down towards Edward and he nodded,

'Down you go, Jake' he told me, waving a hand down the hole. He crouched and gently sprung into the darkness, a tiny thud echoed as he hit the floor. I followed his lead and found myself landing next to him. I could see it was lit further up the corridor and there was no sign of activity nearby. Soon we were all down and Alice sat on Emmett's shoulders as she pulled the grate back over our entrance, making a metallic grinding sound.

Edward took the lead 'Okay, follow me and be careful and aware'. We continued down the tunnel, our footsteps muted as we trod carefully on the stone floors and now I could see there was a large room at the end.

Edward, as earlier, held up a hand, signalling for us to halt. He turned and whispered to us,

'I think I can hear Nessie's thoughts, but I'm not sure, but there is also Caius, and Jane in their too as well as one other' he turned to his love 'do you think you can put a shield around us, then around the room to stop others coming'

Bella bit her lip, worried, but nodded 'I think I can manage it but for how long I am not sure' she told him, her eyes full of concern. Edward nodded and began to walk again. All of sudden he broke into a jog – a fast sprint for the average human – but when was there ever average between us. Bella ran beside me, I looked over to her, her eyebrows were furrowed with concentration, getting ready to throw a protective barrier over us. Edward, Emmett and Jasper skidded into the room first, followed by the rest of us.

I heard a sharp cackling, I looked to see Caius in front of us and standing next to him was the blonde vampire from Reese's house. Of course it all made sense – why she suddenly turned up, broke Nessie's heart, giving the Volturi chance to capture her, 'Well isn't this sweet, the family coming to rescue the little vampire .. Oh and you brought your dogs'

'I'll give you dogs, you great asshole' Embry shouted, as Tia and him, exploded into wolves. The barked, snapping their sharp teeth between their vicious jaws.

'Where's Nessie?' I yelled, shaking furiously with the hate I felt for him.

'Nessie's gone' I heard a voice call from the balcony overhead. It sounded like Nessie's voice. I looked up to where the voice was coming from. It was Nessie, but she had changed – her hair was shorter and she looked older. I shook my head at the change, unhappy by it.

'NESSIE!' I shouted up to her.

'NO!' she screamed 'I told you...' she began, then leaped off the upper tier and onto the same level as us, the sound echoing through the hall, her footmarks leaving a dent within the floor 'not anymore'.

That's when I noticed,

'NO!' Bella shrieked,

Her eyes were crimson, blood red – from the blood of humans. This couldn't be right, how could this have happened.

'Oh I'm so sorry Cullen family, I forgot to introduce to the newest member of the Coven of the Volturi – meet Renia' he motioned his hand towards her form.

'Why, Nessie?' Edward asked calmly, his eyes hard and focused on her.

She got up from her crouch and glared at us 'Why? WHY? Ask yourself the question Edward why did you want to end my life before it had begun?'

'That's not true, Ness, you almost killed your mom, I didn't realise how much you meant to me then, but we love you, we all do' he replied, his face showing great emotion of sadness.

'Of course we do Nessie, I love you more than life itself' I told her, this was the truth the one I had been hiding for so long, now out in the open.

'Lies' she hissed 'ALL LIES!' she threw up her hands in disgust, 'My master showed me what you really all thought'

'But Nessie you don't know what Caius is capable of – he can manipulate the truth, his visions were false, serving the only purpose he needed them for – so he can gain your trust then kill you slow and painfully' Edward yelled at her 'I can see it in his mind now'

'Hannah stop it, stop his authority!' Caius commanded her, she focused and soon Edward cried out 'no! This can't be happening she's stopping my power!'

My form was shaking greatly now and soon I leaped in front of the pack and the Cullens, out into the open space, out of Bella's protection. I knew this when the pain hit me. I collapsed to the floor, my body numbed from the power of a thousand flames lighting my skin.

Nessie was a few feet away, she just stood there. I reached my hand towards her, 'Nessie' I spluttered, through the pain 'help me'. Then I saw a change in her eyes, she seemed concerned but did nothing.

'Nessie, don't you remember anything we taught you!' Emmett told her, standing next to Edward.

'Forever a Family' Jasper quoted the famous family motto.

She shook her head, pulling at her hair and falling onto her knees, towards the ground.

'No! NO! NO! NO! NO!' she screeched to herself, I guessed she was trying to fight the monster she had become,

I heard Edward whisper 'its working keep bombarding her with these thoughts, the real Nessie will break through soon'

'Come back to us, Nessie' Rosalie told her,

'Come on sweetie' Alice's voice chimed 'this is not the true you'.

'STOP THIS NOW!!' she screamed and leaped towards Jane. She scratched at the little vampire and the flaming pain in me, soon subsided. I leaped up and shifted into my other form.

'NO!!' Caius screamed, as I leapt towards him.

'NOW!!' Edward commanded and the pack and the others ran forward towards Hannah, Jane and Caius.

'This is for all the pain, you gave me and my family' Nessie yelled, as she scratched Jane's arm hard.

The screams echoed through the hall and into the tunnel. Soon others would be here and the fight would increase. The fight ended quickly, thanks to the element of surprise. Screams from the vampires, ended as Edward took a lighter out of his pocket. He flicked on the flame and threw it onto the pile of bones, from the corpses. I threw one of Caius' limbs onto the burning pile.

Nessie came over to us, covered in blood from the fight. Edward and Bella took her into their arms and hugged her tight 'We're so sorry Ness'. All she could do was nodded and then cried hugging them tightly back,

'I should have trusted you' she said, finally. I rubbed my nose against her cheek and she turned towards me, she grabbed my around the neck and told me 'I'm sorry to you too, Jake'.

Suddenly I could hear the distance footsteps of the Volturi, I woofed at the others and they turned.

'Jake says others are coming' Edward told the family and they nodded in response.

'But how can we outrun them?' Bella asked 'they'll come for us in Forks again'

'Wait I have an idea' he turned to Bella, 'do you remember when you opened your mind to me, love, maybe we could try something like that'

'Nessie come to your mom, think of the feeling of forgetting – I know it's hard, but try and them place your hand on her face'

'Bell, you have to project this feeling, through the barrier around us and out in Volterra' he told her 'hopefully they will not know we have been here'

Nessie focused and placed a hand on Bella's cheek, then Bella furrowed her eyebrows again and soon she had done it.

'Right' Carlisle spoke 'Guys, shift back for now and when we are out in the open, shift and sprint through the shadows of the city and get back to the cars quickly'

We all shifted back immediately and sprinted for the way we came – we could hear the footsteps coming from the other direction, so persisted on and hastened our speed.

Soon we slid the metal grate back to it's resting place and changed into a wolf forms. Nessie pulled herself onto my back, as many times as she had before, and we began the run. It was almost dawn and the faded light was becoming brighter with each minute.

Soon we were near the booth once more, the men, were asleep, the TV, blurring away to itself in Italian. We all crept past the sleeping guards, who were unaware of the happening within the walls of Volterra, and we were soon back at the cars, parked where they were before. Edward and the other Cullens got into the cars quickly, as we shifted back. I stood up and pulled Nessie into my arms,

'I'm so sorry Jake' she told me once more, I stroked her hair.

'It's okay, sweetie, I know, I know' I replied, she took her head off my chest, and got down from the hug I pulled her up into.

'And Jake?' she asked, coming closer to me

'Yeah?' I said,

'I love you too' she bent her head upwards and soon my lips met hers. I could feel the pressure of her soft dainty lips, below mine. This is something I had dreamed of for ages and it felt great. I pulled slowly away from the kiss and smiled at her taking her head in one of my hands. I looked into her eyes – this was my Nessie. . . . .

A/N: Well guys there you go – they have finally together – it took a while, but I hope it was worth and the whole fight and memory loss – I hope enjoyed that too. Please review and tell me what you think, I hope this chapter appeals to more people than the last one, until next time!
