A/N: So I have to say thank you to my annonymus reviewer twilgihtlover. I had no idea where I was going to go with this until I read that review with this suggestion. Thank you twilightlover. I hope I do your idea some justice. Sorry this took me so long to get out. I had a rough day at work and just wanted to watch a movie and go to bed when I got home last night. Anywho, I hope you all enjoy this one.

MELANIE

Mom's arm was suddenly back around my waist and she, once again, held me painfully close to her body. Edward crouched in front of us and let out a few warning growls. I looked around me and saw Cassie and her family were all standing ready to attack. I noticed that all of their bodies were shaking and almost blurring. I didn't give myself a chance to wonder what they were doing. I looked at the Cullens, who I guess I could now call my family, most of them looked were in the same defensive attack crouches as Edward. Their expressions sent a chill running down my spine. I could see determination on thier faces. The eyes, however, held fear and sadness. I knew they thought we were going to get out of this alive. My whole body started to shake as I realized I could lose them before I even had a chance to know them.

Then my eyes fell on Damon, the little spikey haired girl, I think Edward called her Alice, and her husband, Jasper. They were not crouched and ready to attack. Nor did thire expression show anything but triumph. In fact, if I didn't know any better, I could see a hint of a smile on all of their faces. I also began to hear rustling in the trees above us. I didn't dare look up for fear of what I might see. Alice, Damon, and Jasper walked confidently forward until they were a few feet from Aro.

"And did you really think that between Damon and I we didn't see this coming?" Alice countered Aro statement.

Suddenly, at least fifty vampires dropped from above all around and in between us. Unsure of who's side they were one, I gasped and pressed myself closer to my mom. She panted my arm gently and though I could tell she had no idea what was going on, she whispered,

"Don't worry, sweetie, they're on our side."

"You see," Alice continued. "Damon, here, called me about five months after you forced Edward to join you and gave me the summary of the last fifteen years ending at this moment. We've been meeting once every three months for the last fifteen years, planning this moment."

"Yeah and Alice and Jasper have searched the world looking for other vampires who want to see your downfall." Damon picked up where Alice left off. "And you really should be more careful who you piss off. 'Cuz there are at least one hundred and fifty more vampires spread out through the forest just waiting for the chance to attack."

"So they way we see it," Jasper continued. "You can let us all walk right out of here and no one will get hurt. Or you can have your guard fight us and you can all die. That's up to you."

They stood there staring at Aro with confident defiance. I looked to Aro to see what his decision would be. His face curled up into one of his sadistic smiles.

"Bring me the human, alive, but do what you want with the rest." his voice echoed throught the forest.

Aro's guard slowl started to close in on us as he and his brothers disappeared into the trees. Suddenly, my mom and I were surrounded by three black haired women. They reminded of the amazon warriors that I saw on T.V. The were all three tall and skinny with long limbs and dressed in what looked like animal skin. THey looked a little intimidating and zi ound myself squeezing closer to my mother.

"Bella," one of them spoke. "You need to do what Kate and I trained you to do. Senna, Kachiri, and I will cover you."

Bella nodded but Edward looked concerned.

"What do you mean. what you and Kate trained her to do?" Edward asked turning to face us.

"There's no time to explain." Mom replied. "I know what I'm doing. Melanie and I will be fine. But you need to get out there and help the others."

Edward looked sceptical for a minute but gave mom one last, I love you glance and headed off to face Jane. Mom grabbed my arm and spun me around to face her. She looked terrified but I could see hope glimmering in her eyes.

"Melanie, I need you to sit down right in front of me and don't go anywhere." she said. "Zafrina, Senna, and Kachiri will protect us. Don't move no matter what you hear. Okay?" I nodded and sat down at her feet pulling my knees up to my chest.

I looked around at the battlefield. All I could see were vampires clashing with vampires. I didn't know who was fighting for me and who was fighting against me. All I knew is there were creatures dying for me all around me. I vaguely registered the fact that Cassie and her family were no longer around. I figured they finally got smart and ran away from the fight.

It took me a minute to realize that there were also seven wolves that looked more like bears around the room. They were tackling vampires left and right. That's when it hit. I remembered Jacob used to always tell Cassie and I about how his tribe was descended from wolves and some of them could even actually turn into wolves. I had though it was just a scary story he used to tell. Now, however, I knew it was true. Cassie and her family were the wolves fighting to save me and my family.

I looked around for Edward and spotted him fighting with Jane. I noticed that she was trying to use her gift on him but it wasn't working. I wondered why because though I knew that it never worked on me. I had witnessed it working on him. I didn't have much time to consider it. My extrasensory senses were picking up the horrible sights, smells and sounds going on around me.

I heard screams of pain coming from vampires left and right. Once again, I had no idea whether or not the were on our side. All I knew is they were being hurt. Some of the screams would be followed by a horrible metallic screeching and the ripping of limbs. I soon realized this meant that a vampire had just been killed. The sound soon echoed through the trees as vampire after vampire died. Once again, I had no idea who was dying. I wished I knew.

Shortly after the screeching started, someone started a fire. I soon relaized that's were the were depositing the remains of the dead vampires. The dark smoke was now floating high over the forest. I wondered what the humans in the city would think. The smell from the fire was so bad I had to fight the urge to puke. It was so digusting.

I was getting really worried about my family. Which was surprising because I hadn't known them for moe than a couple hours. I think that might have had something to do with how hard the were fighting for me. I mean the only thing they knew about me was that I was Bella's daughter. Hell, Bella wasn't even technically related to anyone there. Yet, the fought for my safety and freedom like the had known me for years. I hated that they were losing loved ones for me. It scared me to think of what would be left when everything was all said and done.

Needing some reassurance, I looked up at my mom. She was standing there with her eyes closed. She looked like she was concentrating very hard on something. I wasn't sure what but it looked important. Especially since the three warriors who were guarding us were having a tough time keeping the enemy away from us. I wasn't sure if it was because of me or mom. Still, they had to be joined by several more vampires. I couldn't get a good look at them though. However, I heard the names Tanya and Kate being yelled over the noises on the battlefield.

Not wanting to break anybody concentration and get people hurt, I simply buried my head in my knees and started crying. I cried for myself, I cried for my mother, I cried for Edward, and I cried for everyone who was fighting and losing loved ones for me. I wasn't sure how long I cried before the noises closed in around me and a scream a little closer to home ripped through the air.

My head snapped up and I saw Felix dragging mom away by her hair. I was suddenly very angry about him hurting my mom. I wasn't even sure were the anger came from. All I knew was that I was going to hurt him for trying to take my mom away from. Some instinct that I didn't even know I had took over.

I was suddenly up off the ground in the same crouch I'd seen the other vampires in. The next thing I knew, I was in the air with every intention of ripping Felix to pieces. I didn't know how I was going to do that, so it was kind of good when something cold, hard, and strong collided with me mid jump. I fell out of the air and laid on my right elbow with a sickening crack. I then rolled a few feet before I officially landed on my stomach.

"Melanie!" I heard mom scream.

I turned over to tell her that I was alright but came face to face with Demetri. He was standing over me with hhis arms crossed over his chest and a sneer on his face. He grabbed my arm, the one that was definitely broken, and yanked me up. I let out a small whimper of pain as he then twisted it behind my back. I tried very hard to push back the tears that were prickling my vision. I wanted to show my mom that I wasn't a coward. That I could be just as strong as she was.

Demetri had pressed his weight against my back and I assumed that meant I should move. We caught up to Felix and my mom with ease. She, being my mother, looked me up and down frantically. I had a feeling she was using her extra sensory sight to make sure that I didn't have an major wounds. She seem satisfied with the visual inspection when she looked me in the eyes. I could, however, see the terror in them.

"Are you alright?" she asked in a choked voice.

"I'm fine." I lied trying to ignore the pain shooting up and down my arm.

We were forced to walk further into the trees and away from the fight. We walked until the sounds almost completely disappeared. We came to a small patch with no trees. I thought it was too small to be considered a clearing but I wasn't an expert or anything. I saw four figures standing in a row. I recognized everyone of them when we got within fifty feet of them.

The first three were the brothers. Typically, they'd be standing here well out of harm's way while their servants died for them. What cowards. They were all sneering in our direction with their arms crossed over their chests. Jane was the fourth figure. She was standing over what looked like a heap of something on the ground. I recognized the expression on her face. She was using her gift on whatever she was looking at.

I looked down at the heap on the ground. It was Edward and his body was convulsing in pain. He still refused to give Jane the satisfaction of a verbal reaction. If I wasn't so scared for him and mom, I would've been very proud. I would've also taken the time to ponder why it was working on him again. However, the only thing I could think of doing was making his pain stop.

"Stop it!" I yelled trying to pull myself away from Demetri. "Leave him alone! You got me! Do what you want just let them go!" I felt pain shoot through my whole arm as Demetri twisted it even further. I couldn't help the scream that escaped from my lips. I would've dropped to my knees from the intensity of the pain, if Demetri hadn't been holding me up.

"Shut up!" he yelled in my ear and I flinched.

"Being the human to me." Aro ordered and Demetri shoved me toward him. Shaking, I forced myself to walk toward him. I didn't look at my mom or Edward, who was still convulsing in pain on the gorund. "I want to show Bella and Edward, once and for all, that I always get what I want before they die." He sneered. I tried very hard to get my breathing under control.

"Aro, don't, please!" Mom begged from Felix's grasp. "Take me, do what you want! Just let her go! Please!"

Aro just laughed as Demetri passed me to him. He too twisted my arm behind my back and I cringed.

"As tempting as that is, Bella," he stated. "Your daughter here is very special and I can't give up special. Even for someone who makes me as happy as you do."

My stomach turned at the sound of his voice. Mom seemed to pale just slightly when he said it. I tried to blink the tears from my eyes. Aro grabbed my hair and yanked my head to the side exposing my neck. I gulped knowing that I was either going to die or going to be changed. I flinched as I felt his lips graze my ear.

"This is how it's going to be, little one," he whispered. "I'm going to change you, right here and now. What happens afterwards is up to you. You can either join the guard and be treated as an equal. Or you can refuse and remain my toy forever. But either way, I'm going to make you one of us."

"I guess it's going to be a long forever for me then, huh?" I said with a slight shake in my voice.

I gasped as I felt his cold lips press against my neck and then screamed as his teeth pierced the vein. I remembered hearing mom scream my name, Felix gasp in surprise, Jane gasp in fear and surprise, and the soft patter of vampire feet running toward me before everything went black.
