Oh and I need at BETA READER stat. Anyone who is qualified, please send me an email. That would be a big help. As you can probably tell, I have a lot of errors so a beta reader would help me immensely. I would really like it if you could get back to me as soon as possible. Thank you.

Now the drama can begin.

It all belongs to SM

It had been one month of pure bliss. I was a fiancé and I couldn't get over how happy I was to be getting married. I would've taken my family to the courthouse if Alice would have let me, but she was having too much fun planning. I didn't know what she was doing because I had two more years before I had to worry about the wedding, but she was always in a happy mood and Uncle Jasper told me that she was just happy to have free reign. I was the complete opposite of my mother when it came to parties, especially this one. I wanted everyone to know that I was marrying the best man in the world. I wanted to invite all the people I knew so that they could see how happy he made me. I was ecstatic to call Jacob my fiancé and couldn't wait to walk down the aisle, but of course Jake was making me wait until graduation. I didn't care though because I would wait for him forever. I still didn't have a ring yet because Jake said he was searching for the perfect one, but I wouldn't care if he got me a piece of string. I was highly impressed at the lengths he took to find a suitable ring. He was calling all the major jewelers in North America and even was making Rose come with him on a trip to France next month so that he could visit the Choprad diamond factory.

I hadn't really wanted to think about my planning of the wedding because I was trying to focus on my studies. I wanted to show daddy that I could be responsible and that my engagement wasn't going to ruin my perfect record. In the human world, a seventeen-year-old bride was abnormal so we didn't tell anyone at school except for Alexia who in turn told David and they were both happy for us. The wolves didn't know either and I don't know how he managed it, but Jake didn't let them into his mind when he was fazed. How could he keep this from them? It was all I could think about. We didn't really talk about the wedding because I didn't want to get too excited when I knew I had two years left, so we just kept going like normal.

I was thinking about all of this while pretending to take my government test. This class was just about memorizing facts and making sure they had the correct dates. Nothing too serious, but the teacher was the spawn of Satan and hated me for always turning in flawless assignments. He thought that I was cheating because I had all the answers correct. I was already done with the test, but I never liked to turn mine in first; that would give him more of a reason to hate me. I sat in my desk and decided I needed to communicate with the man I loved.

I grabbed my phone, Hey Alpha, Whatcha doing?-N

Nothing. My first class let out early so I'm just sitting here waiting for the next one to start. What about you?-J

Finished my government test in the first six minutes so I'm waiting for someone to go up first. The usual-N

Damn Ness. You could at least try to be stupid. Your genius is putting me to shame. How will our kids look up to they're father?-J

My breath caught in my throat when I read the last message. He had been slipping up lately and it killed me. He would always make jokes about our kids and I didn't even think he knew he did it half the time, Every word about the children I would never have just made me feel more and more inadequate. Whenever he did catch his mistakes, he would apologize for the rest of the day. I tried not to let him see the pain I was in, but he could see right past me and he knew how much I wanted children. We had been working on this very subject in Uncle Jasper's sessions and every time we talked about my inability to conceive, I would break down crying. Jacob tried to tell me that he didn't care, but how could I believe him when he made jokes like that?

I didn't respond because I knew he would catch his mistake.

Babe, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to say that.-JI know. I'm ok. Don't worry about it-N

Really, I'm sorry. It was stupid.-J

Its fine. Hehehehe. You're such an apologizer. Its kinda funny.-N

I only apologize to you. Everyone else can deal with it.-J

That's good to know.-N

We continued to text throughout the class and I was about to turn in my test, but Mr. Leeks caught me with my phone out. Damn.

"Miss Cullen, may I ask what that is in your hand?" he asked with smug smile.

"Nothing Mr. Leeks. I was just checking the time on my phone." I smiled my sweetest smile.

" I don't think so. We have a clock right up front and I saw those fingers moving. I'm going to need for you to bring that phone up here and you can get it at the end of the day."

"Of course sir. Let me just turn it off."

While I pretended to turn off my phone, I frantically texted Jacob who had driven me to school. He had to know that I would be out late or he would go insane with worry. I went up front and handed the phone to the teacher.

"After your detention this afternoon, you can go to the office and pick this up. You should be ashamed of yourself. And I will be giving you a zero on this test."

Oh hell no.

"Sir with all do respect, I understand that I should be punished, but don't you think a zero is a little too harsh?" I pleaded.

"No I don't. You might have been cheating or asking for answers for all I know and that will not be acceptable."

I was about to blow up. This was exactly what daddy was worried about and I was not doing a good job of showing him that I was responsible. I hadn't actually ever been steaming mad at a human before, besides Lida, but then, I had Jacob to control me. I knew that I couldn't yell and scream like I wanted because that would get me into more trouble, so I just not nodded and went back to my seat. There was no way in hell this was not going to get me in serious trouble.

I spent the rest of day mad as hell and everyone knew to stay away from me. Alexia was the only one who I talked to and I barely even wanted to converse with her. I was so pissed that it was hard to keep up the human façade, but I knew I had to suffer until I could rant to Jacob.

I walked out of my last class and went straight to the detention room. I had been to detention a couple of times since I was always in on the stupid pranks that my uncles played at the school, but since they graduated, it was a rarity that I ever got in trouble. I sat in a seat and waited to the rest of the chairs to fill so that we could begin our torture. It was incredibly boring. We just had to sit and stare at the wall for an hour.

I was pulled out of my thoughts by the horrible smell of sweat. I almost gagged as the smell grew stronger and I immediately knew who it was.

"Go away Andy. I don't have time to talk to you right now. I'm pissed and you stink so back off." I spoke harshly.

"Touchy Touchy…I see someone is mad. Boyfriend troubles?"

"You wish. And for the record, Jacob is doing a very good job of keeping himself calm whenever you send gifts to the house, but I don't know how much longer I can keep him from killing you."

Over the past couple of months, Andy has been sending gifts the house and they are irritating the hell out of everyone. Every Friday like clockwork, deliverymen would come to the door and have me sign for extravagant gifts that I never kept. I gave the stuffed animals to Emmett and Jasper for target practice, I let Grandma Esme keep some of the chocolates so that she could make cake and gave everything else to the Salvation Army. The jewelry was another story and I loved the way I handled that one. It was actually really funny. The city of Newport had an auction for charity and Andy's father was the chairman. When it was time for the Cullen's to give they're items for the auction, I put the jewelry Andy had given me on sale and his father looked pissed because he had bought it. The stunning diamonds and rubies were the highest sold items on the auction block and I was happy to finally get rid of them. With the help of our sessions, Jacob was far less angered by the fact that boys were sending me gifts, but he was still mad as hell. He didn't phase out of anger anymore and that was good, but I was still worried that all the gifts were wearing on our relationship.

"Aren't you supposed to be at football practice?" I asked.

"Yeah, but I got caught smoking in the bathroom so they sent me to this hell hole."

"Figures."

"So what did you do with the flowers I sent for you last week?"

"Threw them down the garbage disposal."

"I think its working. I can see you coming over to my side. Who is this Jacob anyways? I've never heard of him."

"Jacob is my boyfriend and I told you already that I'm not interested in you. Your lucky I don't turn you in for harassment."

"For what? Giving you gifts and being nice to you?"

"For being an ass."

If he weren't trying to hit on me all the time, Andy would be a decent friend. I couldn't even hold back the laughter from some of his stupid jokes. He was obnoxious, but also very gentlemanly. I could never see us in a relationship, but I didn't think that I could ever see myself in that position with anyone besides Jacob. Andy was just a stupid human boy and I could possibly be a friend, but he never stopped hitting on me long enough to give it a chance, so I stayed as far away from him as much as possible.

I spent the rest of detention trying to ignore Andy. When we were finally done, I couldn't wait to get outside and see my Jacob. I went to get my phone from the main office and headed outside to see Jacob leaning against the hood of his Hummer. We both smiled at each other

"Get in the front seat." I whispered form fifty feet away. He moved too quickly for human eyes and got in his seat. He knew what I wanted. I went to the passenger's side and opened the door. Before he could speak, I climbed over the consol and sat in his lap with my lags on the opposite sides of his hip. I dipped my head down and took his lips in a passionate kiss. I used my tongue to explore the inside of his mouth and flicked it gently across the roof. He moaned and I knew I was about to go even further. I pulled the seat down so that we were laying almost horizontally and rolled my hips into his. After a couple seconds, I got my achieved goal. His hardness felt amazing as it pushed up against the inside of my legs and I didn't know how life could get any better than this. I moved to his neck and continued to roll my hips while his hands rested on my backside.

I was just about to go into the deeper reaches of passion when a knock on the window interrupted the mood. I lifted my head and stared wide eyed at Andy who was smirking on the other side of the glass.

"Who that fuck is that?" Jacob asked breathlessly.

"Andy. Don't answer it, lets just go."

"Andy, the one who keeps sending shit to the house?"

"Come on Jacob, let's leave before you cause trouble." I said in an irritated voice.

When Jacob had his mind set on something, there wasn't anything you could do to stop him. He lifted the seat back up to its normal position and used his powerful arms to put me gently back in my seat. I left my legs on his thigh and he kept his hand on my shin as he rolled down the window.

"Can I help you?" He asked.

"Uh…not really. I actually came to talk to Nessie, but since I'm here, let me introduce myself. Andy Flowes."

"I know who you are and I loved those chocolates you sent a couple weeks ago. Thanks." I quietly laughed while I watched Jacob masterfully handle the situation.

"Uh…yeah. Those weren't really for you." And replied.

"Oh I know, but Nessie just throws them out so I decided to take them. The peanut butter ones were my favorite, what about you?"

"Mocha."

"They were ok." Jacob shrugged.

And began to walk back to his car, but Jacob started the car and drove slowly up next to him, "Andy, I just want you to know that I don't like you sending gifts to the house for Nessie. She's already told you to stop the bullshit and I'm hopping that this little chat will deter you from any further purchases for my girlfriend."

Andy didn't say anything the entire time and he flicked Jacob off before getting the seat of his car. Under my foot, I could fell the trembles flow through Jacob's body and I knew I had to calm him down before he ruined his Hummer.

"Babe, just breath." I put my hand on his shoulder and pushed him some happy memories so that he would slow his anger.

It worked just like I hoped it would and he was able to drive again after five minutes.

"That bastard better watch it. I swear I won't be responsible for my actions if he flicks me off again." He said as we drove down the highway. I didn't really want to go home yet so I decided to change the subject.

"Hey Jake?"

"Yeah sweetheart?"

"What did you have planned for the day?"

"Uh…just hanging out with you. Why?"

"Would you mind hanging out with me at the mall?"

He sighed and shook his head, "You want shoes don't you?"

"Just a few." I giggled.

"Alright, where do you want to go?"

"Manchester. They just opened a new Gucci store and I think I found the perfect pair of shoes to go with that dress you bought me. I have my credit card, so we shouldn't have to stop at the bank."

"Absolutely not Ness, I got this. Don't worry about it."

"But Jacob, your starting your garage soon and your buying me a beautiful ring, which I still haven't seen by the way. I don't want you to try and get me things when you don't have the money for them."

"Babe, I went to the bank yesterday and the manager practically bowed at my feet. Don't worry about the money." He said sternly, " And as for your ring, just let me worry about that and you focus on your studies. How was the test?"

Shit.

"Uh……not so good."

I didn't know if I should tell him about my failed test because I knew he would think it was his fault. Somehow he always puts the blame on himself. I also knew that he would be pissed at Mr. Leeks and I was right. After I told Jacob what happened, he was furious. Not only because I got a zero on my test but also because I had been a start student and Mr. Leeks threw my perfect record out the window. I was mad before school ended, but now, I didn't really care. I would still make an A in the class even with the zero. Jacob was coming up with ways to punish my teacher, but none of them sounded very ethical. He ranted all the way to Manchester and was still steaming when we walked into the Gucci store. I saw a cute little café across the street with tables outside and I made sure to remind myself to try that place out after my shoe shopping.

"OK, its now shoe time. No more negativity. No more Mr. Leeks or bad test grades. Just you, me, and shoes." I laughed.

"Fine, but when we get home we're having a long conversation about this." He sighed and then smiled. It was time to shop.

I spent two hours going through the store trying to find the perfect shoes, which is nearly impossible, but I never give up. Gucci has great purses and jackets, but their shoe collection isn't what I would call spectacular. Nonetheless, I like their styles so I occasionally buy from them. Two weeks ago, Jacob bought me a black cocktail dress that I wanted to wear when we went to the hospital's Christmas party (which Alice was also planning). It was a simple, short black dress, so I needed the shoes to be stunning and the selection in Gucci wasn't cutting it. Like the dutiful boyfriend he was, Jacob sat in a chair and watched me the entire time.

"Jacob?"

"Yeah babe?"

"Would you be mad if I asked you to come with me to a different store? None of these shoes do me any good." I timidly smiled.

He just laughed, "There's another shoe store down the street that has Louboutins. I scoped it out when we first got here."

I walked to his seat and gave him a kiss, "I love you."

"just because I can find you shoes?"

"Among other things." I giggled.

"Well I love you too."

He grabbed my hand and we made our way down the street to another shoe store. He opened the door and I felt like I was in heaven. There were hundreds of shoes and Jacob laughed at my face the entire time he took me through the aisles. We spent another hour here and I found something that I liked. It was simple yet elegant at the same time and the pale pink, silk fabric shone in the light of the store. I was hooked before I was even ten feet away. The shoe was made of leather in the back but the toe was knotted silk that was beautifully twisted to create an embellishment over the peep toed front. They stood at my favorite height of five inches and the red-soled bottom was the last draw. They were Louboutins and I couldn't get enough of them. I let go of Jacob's hand and ran over to the rack. I inspected them without even picking them up. You have to make sure they look good on the rack before even thinking about them on your foot. I asked the saleslady for them in a size seven and slipped them on once I was seated in my chair. The leather in lining felt amazing on my foot and I was already sold. These had to be mine. I walked around a little to see if they looked good standing up and turned to face Jacob.

"What do you think?"

"Perfect."

"Are you sure? You remember the dress you bought, do these go together?"

"Are you testing me?" He smiled.

"Just a little. I have to be sure you know your fashion."

"Those look beautiful and they would look hot on you if you wore a bed sheet."

"That's not a good image to have in my head Jacob." I sexily smirked.

His brown eyes darkened and I could tell that the lust was flowing through his body just as much as it was mine. This was his fault. I was ready to give myself to Jacob and didn't have any regrets about my decision, but he was the one who wanted to wait so he would have to suffer. One of the many reasons why I was so excited to get married was for of the sex. Of course it wasn't the only reason, but it was a bug factor. Mama told me when I was younger, that sex was more than just a physical connection, but also a emotional one that should be shared between two people who are deeply in love. Jacob and I defiantly qualified, but I didn't want to make him do anything he wasn't ready for, so I would wait. I knew it would be amazing and passionate and I thought about it quite a lot, which drives daddy insane. After a few minutes of just staring, I turned back around so that we could break our gaze. It wouldn't be good if I ravished him in the store. I sat in the chair next to him and began to take off the shoes. He helped me put them in the box and took my hand as we walked to the counter.

"Did you fine everything you needed today?" The assistant asked.

"Yes thank you. Just these shoes." Jacob replied and pulled out his wallet.

His id was in the front section and I saw the lady behind the counter glance at it, but I didn't think anything of it until she started speaking again.

"Are you Jacob Black?"

"Uh….yeah. Have we met before? Sorry. I'm just really bad with faces."

That was a lie.

"No no. I go to the girls' catholic school here and they all know you. Its like a small town with these private schools, so we pretty much know everyone, but for all the things we've heard about you, I've never actually met you."

What the hell is this bitch talking about?

"Oh well…all good things I hope?" Jacob laughed.

"Most defiantly." The girl behind the counter was getting a little too friendly so I decided to make myself known.

"Hi. I'm Renesemee Cullen, Jacob's girlfriend."

She turned to look at me and her face lit up, "Of course you are. I've heard a lot about you as well. You're like a legend for winning the Rose Cotillion two years ago. Are you doing it this year?"

I hadn't even thought about the cotillion since I won, but if they asked me to do it again, I probably would.

"Maybe, when are the nominations?"

"Next week. I'm so excited." She bubbly replied.

The girl who I thought was a bitch, was actually really nice and we talked for five more minutes. We exchanged numbers so that I could call her whenever I was in town. I walked out of the store and Jacob and I laughed all the way back to where he parked the car.

I was about to climb into the passenger's seat, when I felt a familiar feeling that sent me back into the cold cellar of last year. My breathe was taken from me and I knew Aldo must be somewhere near. My air way was completely cut off and it felt like my lungs were shriveling up in my body. I could hear Jacob's voice but my vision was growing more and more blurry. I struggled to keep myself upright but eventually lost the battle and fell to the ground. I clawed at my throat and begged for some form of oxygen. After a couple of minutes, I knew I wasn't going to survive this and prayed that Jacob wouldn't suffer too much from my death, but I knew he would. My lungs were on fire and it felt like my eyes were about to pop out of my head. I could fell my brain pounding and my heart rate was accelerating at a dangerous rate. I closed my eyes and let the darkness take over.

As I was about to give in, the bubble lifted and I was able to take my first breath of clean air. It rushed down my throat and was actually painful. My breathing was labored and I coughed for a solid minute before I could finally open my eyes again.

"Oh my god Nessie. What the hell happened? Don't you ever scare me like that again." Jacob was kneeling down next to me on the pavement and I looked around to see if anyone had noticed my episode, but they luckily hadn't.

Even though my throat hurt, I knew I had to warn him about what was about to happen.

"Ja…Jacob. Aldo's here. Ru…Run."

"Who the hell is Aldo?" He asked angrily.

I put my hand on his arm and replayed some of my worse memories that I had suppressed over the past year. When I was done, I felt exhausted and I watched his face go through the stages of realization and end up with horror.

"I'm getting you home right now." He tried to help me up and I stumbled for stability. He put his arm on my waist and pulled me closer to his side, as he dragged me to the car door. Before I could climb in the seat, I looked across the street and saw Maria, Aldo, and Gerard sitting at the café. I strained my eyes a little harder and saw a familiar face sitting in the seat opposite them. I gasped when I recognized Dr. Ryans smirking at me from across the street. How could I be so stupid? He was in on it the whole time and no one ever picked up on him.

I stopped moving and Jacob didn't seem to notice them across the street. Even from a great distance, I could see the terror in Mari's eyes and knew that she had found her opportunity for revenge. Jacob followed my eyeline and growled when he saw them sitting at the outside tables. His body began to shake and for once, I wasn't worried about him fazing in public.

"Get in the car now Renesemee. I can't go up against all four of them and my main priority is to get you home. Get in the car now!" He commanded and I followed without hesitation. I had only seen this deadly side of Jacob once and that was back in Forks. Him and I were playing in the woods when I was younger and a nomadic vampire stopped us in the woods and tried to take me, but Jacob turned down right evil and killed him within seconds. I was pulled out of my thoughts my Maria's high-pitched, petrifying laugh. There wasn't much activity on the streets so I could hear them perfectly.

"It won't matter where you take her, she's still going to be dead in a matter of weeks." I heard Aldo's cold voice whisper. It was the same voice that had invaded my dreams all those months ago, but now it was real and I was horrified.

Jacob slammed my door and I thought he was going across the street, but luckily, he got in the front seat and locked the doors. He started the car and sped out of the shop parking lot like a mad man. He called the house but I couldn't hear the conversation. All the way home I sat still as stone and couldn't move out of fear. I was scared that Maria would take me again and do worse this time. I knew that my family would fight to keep me, but they would only die in the process. Maria's coven was too powerful and she had too many on her side. I knew I would be taken again; I was what she came for.

Jacob shouted into the phone the entire way home and I sat and prayed that I could have a little while longer with my family before I left. We pulled into the driveway and mama actually broke the door to get to me. I was passed around, the to the entire family and reassured that nothing would happen to me, but I knew they're promises were empty. I had faith in my family, but there was no way they could defeat Maria. She was coming and she would kill me.

My mind was in a haze and I didn't register anything that was going on around me besides the voices. I knew we were in the family room but that was about it. I felt the cold arms of my father on my left and the warm arms of Jacob on my right. My family was frantically talking about our options, but I didn't want to contribute to the conversation.

"What do we do?" Mama said in a tired voice.

"We have two options: hide Nessie or wait until Maria shows herself and fight her." Daddy said.

"They can't run us out of our home." Rose said furiously, "That bitch has created enough problems. I say we vote."

"Ok then, we vote. But I want to remind everyone that this is for Nessie's safety. I need you to all think about what's best for her." Grandpa said sternly, "Jasper, you start."

"We fight her." He said confidently.

"Alice?"

"Hide Nessie. I don't feel right risking her safety. We can send her to Alaska."

"Rose?"

"We fight."

"Emmett?"

"Bring the bitch down. There is no way in hell she's coming after Nessie again."

"Sweetheart?" He asked turning to Grandma.

"I want to send her to Tanya's. Then we can go after Maria, but first I want to hide Nessie."

"Bella?"

My mother sighed, "As much as I hate her being away from me, I can't put her in danger. I agree with Esme. We send Nessie away and then go find Maria."

"Edward?"

"Fight." My father said emotionally. He put his arm around mama as a way to apologize for going against her wishes, but she didn't seem mad.

"I choose to hide Nessie as well. I don't like the fact of her being her while Maria is so close." He turned to me, but continued to speak to the rest of the family. "I don't think Nessie should have a say in this vote, so that only leaves Jacob." Grandpa said.

I agreed. I didn't want to vote on weather or not to send me away from my family or have them fight Maria. I wouldn't put them in danger like that, but my selfishness made it impossible for me to be away from them. I wouldn't vote and I couldn't bring myself to pick the right choice. Everyone tuned to Jacob and I who were sitting on the couch. He put his arm on my shoulder and I curled up to his chest. I felt safe, but I knew it wouldn't be for long.

He took a long time to come up with an answer. I knew his dilemma and I was glad that I didn't have to make the same decision. To be honest, I didn't know why anyone else was voting because I wouldn't listen to anyone but him. I knew the rest of my family had my best interest at heart, but Jacob was the one who would suffer the most from all of this if I died so his choice was essential in determining what would happen to me over the next couple of days. I hated to be away from him, but if he told me to hide, I would. Even though I would suffer while I was away from him, I would rather do that than have him fight.

I put my hand on his chest and let my thoughts flow through our bodies.

I was willing to sacrifice my happiness and would gladly go away if that meant that he wouldn't have to fight an entire coven of vampires. There was no way Maria was going to let him live if she caught him and that would kill me emotionally and physically. I remembered my father's stories about when he thought mama was dead and I made up my mind a long time ago that I would travel the same route if anything happened to Jacob. I couldn't live without him and there was no way I was going through years of suffering when I knew I would never heal. I didn't want Jacob to fight and I didn't want my family to fight. It was a lost cause before it even started. There was no one who could help and I would rather just have them kill me than sentence Jacob to death at the hands of a ruthless psychopath.

Please don't fight her Jacob. You can't win.

That was the last thought I poured into him before I took my hand away. Without even looking at his face, I already knew what his decision would be. He kissed my forehead and I felt a warm tear fall into my hair.

"I'm sorry Nessie, but I can't have you away from me. I have to fight and I know how much you hate it, but I have to eliminate all danger in you life and Maria has to die." The last part of his statement was harsh so I knew that there was no way I was going to change his mind, but I decided to try anyways.

For the first time in a couple hours, I spoke. "Please don't do this Jacob. I don't know what I would do if you got hurt."

We were both crying, but I knew my family understood. I was less worried about the rest of the family because they were practically indestructible, but Jacob was mortal. He could die and he would if a vampire got a hold of him. Maria and her coven especially would have fun torturing Jacob in front of me and I didn't know how I would survive that.

"Baby, you don't understand how much I have to do this." He said sternly.

"But you don't Jacob. You can come with me. We could go to Alaska and stay there…" I pleaded.

"For how long? Trust me, Maria will find us again and come after you until your dead. We have to stop her now or else we won't ever be able to kill her. Please. You have to understand my position. I want you to be safe and that's why I have to go against your wishes. I'm sorry."

Of course he made perfect sense. I knew that I could only stay on the run for so long before Maria came for me, but I still didn't want him to have to fight her. I nodded and he kissed the top of my head. He took in a deep breath and I knew he was memorizing my scent, which he did when he thought I was in danger.

"Ok then, I guess we're going to fight. Jasper you know Maria the best, so I'm going to need for you to give us a full debriefing." Grandpa said seriously.

I cried and Jacob held me as my family began making preparations for the war I knew would ensue. Not only was Maria very powerful, but she also had countless numbers of vampires at her disposable. She could call a massive army at the drop of a hat and wouldn't be opposed to creating more vampires just to help her cause. Some would call our family the most powerful in the world since we had some of the most unique vampires and the option of Jacob's pack, but to me, they were just my family and I was worried for them. I knew what Maria was capable of and there wasn't anyone who could defeat her.

My half vampire brain was quickly computing battle plans and anything that would help my family win this pointless fight. As soon as it came into my head, daddy looked up and shook his head lightly. Everyone was too caught up in their planning to notice, but I was fighting with daddy in my head about my revelation. There wasn't any one who could defeat her…except the people who once tried to defeat me.

Since that debacle in the clearing five years ago, the Volturi have only been around to check on me once, but it was a short visit and nothing happened. When I was younger, I used to have nightmares about them and couldn't stand how they terrified me even in my sleep. I especially hated Jane because she was a bitch unlike anything I had ever seen. I wasn't afraid of her so much because mama's shield could protect me from her powers, but she always seemed to hate me for being different and in turn, I hated her. The last time they visited, it was only the guard, which consisted of Jane, Alec, Felix, and Demitri. They were surprisingly civil and were just sent to make sure that I was growing. No one even knew about it besides daddy, mama, and Jacob because they didn't want to get the family all worked up over nothing. Mama and daddy took me to Seattle and I sat in a room with the guard while they observed me for an hour and then they left. I hadn't heard from them since, but I was sure that they would love to come over to help handle our little situation.

I ignored his request, "Grandpa, I was wondering if you could make a call."

"Of course sweetheart, who do you want me to call?"

"Is there anyway that you could get in touch with Aro?"
