Chapter 29

Attention: I hope you enjoy. Please review.

Rosalie's POV:

I immediately hit the speed dial for Emmett's phone, "Someone is outside the house, I don't recognize the scent." I hit the end button and went to Liam's room. I walked through the door and stopped dead. The vampire in the window was not one I knew, and he was inches away from Liam.

The male vampire continued climbing through the window and quickly put his hands up. "Please, I'm not here to hurt anyone, I was truly curious. My name is Julius. "I waited for him to continue with an explanation as Emmett and Jule Burst through the door. Emmett had Julius against the wall by the throat in the blink of an eye, "what the hell are you doing in my son's room?" Julius did not fight back; he stood and waited to speak. "I was just telling her" He nodded at me, "My name is Julius, I'm not here to hurt anyone I was only curious. Though thinking about it now, this looks bad and probably wasn't my best idea". Emmett never let his grip up; he only cocked an eyebrow to show Julius he needed to continue.

"I found out about you because of my creator, Alex. I very rarely see him; I was passing through and decided to stop by. He told me about Elizabeth leaving him and why." He made a point to look at Jules. "I didn't believe him when he told me about your son. I had to see him for myself, and I had to know Elizabeth was alright." Emmett looked back at Jules, she shrugged, "Well, He isn't lying." Emmett nodded towards Liam, Jules walked over to pick up her sleeping baby. Emmett released Julius and walked over to Jules and Liam. Julius looked at Jules, "You look so much like her. Is she safe"? I looked at him, his eyes, and his posture, "You love her. Don't you?"

Julius looked so sincere. "Yes. From the first moment I saw her." Jules Looked at him, obviously gauging his answer, "Does she know?" He looked down at the ground shaking his head, "She was with Alex, even though he never loved her and treated her badly, he had his hooks in her so tight, and I could never tell her. Alex would have hurt her, or worse." He let his words trail off. "Alex never figured it out either. He is very consumed with himself. He told me his plan to attack your family. I could never live with myself if I didn't do everything in my power to help her." I walked over to him and shook his hand, "I'm Rosalie, this is Emmett, Jules and Liam, It's nice to meet you. Seriously though, next time use the door. "Julius chuckled and apologized again. Jules and Emmett shook his hand as well. It was Jules' next words that made him light up, "How about we take you to see her."

Elizabeth's POV:

When Emmett and Jule got the call that someone was outside their home they left in a blur. Now we were all sitting at the big house waiting to hear something, anything about the mystery person. Edward's phone rang and I could hear Emmett say everything was fine and they were on their way back with a "new friend". When the door opened a few moments later, if it hadn't stopped beating years ago, my heart would have stopped in that moment. "Julius", I said as I threw my arms around his neck and hugged him close. "Elizabeth I was so worried about you. Thank goodness you're alright." We stayed in each other's arms until we heard someone clear their throat. I looked and saw Rosalie smiling at Jules, "It looks like the feelings are mutual." I looked between them and then at Julius, "What is she talking about?" He smiled down at me, a smile that lit up my world, "Oh nothing, just the fact that I've been crazy about you since the moment I first laid eyes on you." I shook my head not fully understanding what he was saying, "What? Why wouldn't you have told me?" We looked into each other's eyes, "Alex" we said at the same time and chuckled. "It's always been you Elizabeth, always." He leaned down slowly and gave me the most passionate kiss of my life. I looked at this beautiful man standing before me, he had a heart of gold, and he had always been amazing to me when he came around. He was exactly the type of man I longed to be with, he was my perfect match in every way. "I would have left with you. I love you Julius."

We stayed next to each other, holding hands because neither of us was willing to let the other go. Liam must have woken up during our interaction because I felt a small tug at my pants and looked down to see him. "Who dis Gama?" I leaned down and picked him up, "Liam, this is Grandma's very special friend Julius." He looked at me with his eyes full of questions, as usual; he was such a curious little boy, "more family?" Julius smiled at me and looked at my grandson with such pride and love, "Yeah buddy, more family." Liam patted his face and stopped moving, his gaze looking like it was miles away. Then he smiled. I heard Edward start to chuckle and looked at him, "What's so funny." He shook his head, not funny, impressive. Liam was having a vision.

Edward's POV:

I was watching my nephew interact with his grandmother when he stopped moving and began staring off into space. He was having a vision, I'm not sure how far in advance it was but we were all at a wedding. Liam was seeing himself dancing with Rosalie. It wasn't completely clear who had gotten married, but I have a feeling we will have two weddings to plan very soon. Alice will be ecstatic.

I walked over to where Julius and Elizabeth were standing together. "Julius, can you tell us more about what Alex told you. Did he mention any part of his plan to you?" It was clear my question made him both uncomfortable and angry. "Yeah, He told me all about it." He started shaking his head back and forth in frustration. "After all the years he spent with Liz, I can't believe he has no feelings for her. Only a man who feels nothing could make plans to kill his mate and her entire family." I clapped him on the shoulder, "Don't worry Julius, we have a lot of tricks up our sleeves. We have fought before, and this will be no different." We began explaining our talents to Julius one by one. He was impressed with what we had to offer. We told him about our diet and he was more than happy to agree to try our way of living. He had never been happy living off humans. "I guess now would be the time to tell you I have a little talent of my own." Elizabeth looked shocked, "I never knew that." He smiled apologetically at her," I'm sorry love; I couldn't risk Alex knowing and telling others. I'm sure the Volturi would want to force me to join the guard and that is never going to happen."

I looked over at Eleazar, "Can you tell?" He smiled a huge smile at me, "Oh yes, and he's right Aro would want him. Lucky he's on our side." I looked over at Julius who seemed a little confused, "Eleazar can tell a vampires talent. He once worked with the Volturi. He would let Aro know if any of the members of a clan had talents when they came before the guard." Julius looked furious, "You gave them up? How could you do that?" Eleazar hung his head, "I didn't know. At first I didn't know what he was doing. When I realized what he was using me for I left and never looked back. I have warned many vampires since then. I know it doesn't make it right, I just don't want more people walking into an ambush." Julius nodded, "I get it, and I've done things I'm not proud of. Look at all the years I sat back and watched Elizabeth get treated so badly. I'll never forgive myself for that, but I will make it up to her." I walked over to Bella and kissed her temple. I'm so thankful for my mate. "Ok Julius, so tell us, what's your talent?" He smirked, "It will be easier to just show you." All of a sudden Jules and Emmett began doing a very advanced looking Tango."You guys are choosing now to dance? Did the music hit your souls or what?" Julius was laughing so hard at this point he was holding his stomach. "No Edward, that's my talent. I can make anyone do anything I want them to." Jules and Emmett stopped dancing. Emmett smiled, "I couldn't help it. I couldn't stop myself at all." I thought for a moment, "Can you do things that aren't as pleasant as well? For example if we were up against Jane and she tried to use her power on me, could you make her use it against Aro?" Julius nodded, "Oh yeah that's simple. I try not to use my talents for bad, but yeah I will be a big help in this battle." All I could think was things are about to get interesting in the Cullen house.
