Elizabeth POV

I walked around the castle after clearing up, blocking out the lewd thoughts I was having.

Why?

Why now?

This isn't exactly the best time…or the best person! Though Felix is good looking and funny and sexy and…STOP IT! He is a vampire and it wouldn't be right! His venom wouldn't change me, it would make me very ill and, despite what people say, witches aren't immortal.

I will die at some point and then what?

But then there is another dilemma. Should I spend my remaining days, however many there will be, alone? Or should I take a chance with him?

I sighed. I was tormented and completely entranced by someone who I didn't even know.

"Cannot believe I did that! What an idiot!" I heard someone seethe. I ran towards the voice, but of course it belonged to him.

It couldn't have belonged to anyone else could it?

"Felix?" I asked, he turned around, staring at me. "Are you alright?"

He stuttered a little and I walked closer, reaching out to touch him. He stumbled back a little, running from my hand.

"Please tell me." I whispered. I felt his hand catch my chin as I looked down, pulling it back up again so our eyes met.

"I'm sorry about before. I just…I mean I-"

"Shh," I cooed. "It's okay,"

"Not it's not, Liz. I couldn't hold it in anymore. It's hurt me the amount of time you've been away and when you came in at the ball…my god. I would have cried if I could."

He stroked my cheek and added, "You looked so beautiful."

I gazed into his loved filled eyes. Wait. Did he love me? I hardly know him but at the same time, I feel like I've known him forever…and maybe I will.

"Felix," I whispered. "Do you love me?"

He closed his eyes, lowering his head.

Oh my, have I asked the wrong question?

"Yes," he whispered.

I choked.

I couldn't believe it.

Does that make me a vampire's mate?

But I'm not a vampire.

I frowned and Felix ran a finger over my eyebrows, smoothing them out.

"Why you frowning, sweet?" he asked, his trademark smirk returning.

"How can you love me? I'm not a vampire. How can I be your mate? And when?"

He stroked various spots on my face and neck, just exploring.

"I love you because you are honest and you are so…vibrant. You're so full of life that it makes me feel human again, almost. You light something that I can't resist. When? I've loved you since you came to the castle. I knew I had to get you out of there and when Bella said she wanted help, I jumped to the chance. I'm sorry for what Caius did to you. At least I get one thing that he didn't; I'll get to have sex with you," He said.

I let a little moan out of my lips and he ran his hand though my hair, grabbing it and keeping me in place.

Then he kissed me.

Wow! What a kiss!

His lips were soft yet his force was hard…among other things. I giggled a little and ran my fingers through his deep brown hair. His hair was thick but incredibly soft. It was all feathery and just irresistible. He traced his tongue along my lower lip; I let him in of course and I was glad I did.

After a while, I felt myself flying and something hard hit my back. He pulled away and I focused on my surroundings.

He had pushed me up against a wall. I groaned as I felt his hips pressing into mine.

"More," I whispered.

"Greedy," his eyes lit up. "But not yet. As much as we want to and right now, your scent is pulling me in and I feel I may loose, we can't. I think if we got to know each other first, I think it'd be best."

"Mmmm, okay," I mumbled and wrapped my arms around his neck, kissing him.

He moaned and ran his hands up my thighs, pulling up my dress in the process.

"What?" A voice asked.

I looked around Felix to see Bella, her hair mussed from sex, clad in a very short summer dress, staring at us completely confused.

"Bella," I mumbled and Felix put me down immediately. "I…I"

She looked at me then at Felix, going around in a cycle for a while before smiling widely.

"I won't tell," She whispered and flitted away towards the approaching footsteps.

"Hey," she mumbled.

It was Aro.

She was distracting him so we could get away.

"Come on" Felix mouthed, before taking my hand, leading me to a safer place.

Bella POV

I cannot believe it!

Felix and Elizabeth?

How…cute?

Is that the right word?

Well whatever it was, I was happy for them. I caught them, probably about to have sex against the wall. When I heard Aro coming, I flitted off towards him, hoping and begging for him to let me have my underwear back. No doubt he locked it all away somewhere.

"Hey," I murmured, wrapping my arms around his neck. "As much as you love your little joke, I need my underwear back,"

He laughed darkly and nuzzled my neck,

"Sorry, mia cara, but the answer is no. Rest of the night, all day, NO underwear."

I whimpered and started to pull away but he wouldn't let me. His hand traced the rim of my skirt, lightly tugging at it and sometimes pulling it up.

"Stop it!" I snapped, smacking his hand away from my bare ass. "Get off!"

He laughed and wrapped his arm around me. He pulled me outside into the moonlit garden.

We saw the wolves doing a patrol around the castle; we knew which one was Jacob as Renesmee was riding on his back.

Is she not heavy?

Jacob is 6'7" of beef, I'm sure he can take her weight.

"Hi Mom! Hi Papa!" She called, waving. Jacob barked and she laughed, pressing her hand to his ear.

We smiled and they rode off towards the edge of the garden, no doubt to make out for a while.

"What is their…relationship like? It's quite fascinating," Aro asked.

"Well, when they first laid eyes on each other, he became hers. He said to me once that imprinting feels like 'it isn't gravity or the earth that holds him here anymore, it's her.' She is all he needs to stay alive and he is all she needs. He is a best friend, a brother and a lover all rolled into one…when appropriate of course. He is the perfect man that so many look for." I shrugged. "But he is hers,"

Aro chuckled and took my hand, sighing contented.

"At least she is happy," he murmured.

"I still can't believe what happened. How can she have 'magical powers'?" I asked, quoting with my fingers.

"I don't know. Maybe it's by chance, maybe it's through blood. Who knows," He said.

We embraced and we split apart when a scream came from the bottom of the garden.

"Nessie!" I gasped and sped off toward the scream.

"Isabella!" Aro shouted, running after me.

I could hear him running behind me, falling behind fast. My drive to get to my child was making me run fast, faster than ever before. I came across the mixture of wolf and perfume and followed it until I came across the both of them.

Jacob was human again, clutching a sobbing Renesmee to his chest.

I could smell burning and I saw a small smouldering fire, Lillian stood in front of it.

"What are you doing here?" I growled. She turned a sly smile on her face. I felt Aro come up behind me and wrap his arm around my waist.

I heard Renesmee cry a little more and Jacob shushed her, stuttering; he tried to find the words to say.

"Jake?" I asked, my expression smoother.

He looked very blank and oddly pale, as if he had seen a ghost. Renesmee curled herself out of his arms and touched my face, taking Aro's hand at the same time.

Renesmee was riding on Jacob's back, laughing until they came across a scent. She jumped off his back, recognising the scent immediately.

"Dad?" she called and Edward came out of the shadows. He looked very sad; he held out his hand to her.

"Sweetling, I am so sorry. Tell your mother I am sorry too, I am glad she is happy." He whispered, pulling her towards him. She wondered what had gotten him so upset when Lillian came out of the bushes, pushing Edward to the ground.

"What are you doing?" she asked, still holding Edward's hand. Jacob growled and Lillian whispered some words, making Jacob wince and whine. He ran into the bushes and phased.

"What are you going to do to him?" he asked.

"It seems Elizabeth has betrayed me and some of her friends have gone with her, dwindling my numbers, and he, I believe is her son, and I know she'll miss him,"

Renesmee growled, light sparking around her hands but it was too late, Lillian cast a spell, tearing Edward to pieces. Lillian smiled and burnt his remains.

Then Renesmee screamed.

I gasped, almost falling over; good job Aro had his hand around my waist. He growled and turned his eyes to Lillian, completely enraged. Lillian laughed at our anger and held up his wristband with the Cullen crest on it.

Even without Renesmee's thoughts I knew it was him.

"You have one week, and we will come for you. He won't be the only one to die." She declared.

For a moment I thought I saw her eyes flicker to Renesmee but it was so fast I couldn't be sure.

"What's going on?" a female voice shouted.

"Oh no," Renesmee whimpered and Elizabeth and Felix appeared, Demetri, Marcus, Alec and a few of our guests not far behind them.

I looked to her, studying her expression. A deep rumble erupted from her chest,

"What are you dong here? I'm not com-" She stopped, staring at the blackened ash.

Tears welled in her eyes and they went a very bright green.

"Ness, Jake, move back," I whispered, and they move further into the bush. I heard fabric moving; Jacob was getting ready to phase.

Elizabeth seemed to ignore me. She stepped forward until she was a breathing space away from Lillian.

"You will regret that, mark me," she growled, her tone deadly. To be honest I was a little terrified. I cowered back slightly into Aro's chest; he wrapped his other arm around me.

"Will I? This wouldn't have happened if you didn't leave," Lillian mocked. "Here, take it,"

She gave Elizabeth the wristband and she stroked it.

"One week," she warned and Lillian vanished. There was silence, nothing else. No one dared move or speak.

Finally it broke.

Elizabeth dropped to her knees, a mournful wail coming from her.

Felix was by her side in an instant, his arms wrapped around her, rocking her gently.

"Its okay, sshh," Felix cooed.

I heard Renesmee cry and Carlisle; he must have been watching, come forward and help Elizabeth to her feet.

"I'm sorry, dear, come, dry your eyes," he whispered and she fell into his embrace. I felt my chest tighten for her; she's lost her only son. I know that if I lost Renesmee…the world would fall apart.

"Let us get inside," Aro said. "We don't know who she's brought with her,"

Most of us murmured in agreement and we all retired to our rooms. We asked the guard to take some of our guest to the throne room, letting them rest there.

I flopped on the bed, my mind burned out. Elizabeth's cries echoed throughout the castle, along with Carlisle and Esme's soothing words.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Aro murmured, stroking my back slowly.

"I don't think I really have any right now, my mind is frazzled,"

He laughed once and sighed, his hand still lazily running up and down my back. I felt him catch the zip, undoing my dress. I giggled and he turned me on my back.

His face was warm but thoughtful.

"Penny for your thoughts" I asked back.

"I don't want to loose you," he whispered. "We may only have a week left,"

"No," I sat up, putting a finger to his lips, stopping him. "We don't have a week, we have forever. We will be alright. I know that it's scary but we'll get through it," I whispered.

He nodded and twined his hand in my hair, pulling me to him. He brushed my lips slowly and then gave me a forceful kiss. I squeaked and felt him push me back on the bed. My summer dress slipped off easily in his hands. I hummed as he kissed back up my body, nibbling my collarbone and neck gently.

"Sir? Madame?" a voice came as they knocked on the door.

"What?" Aro snapped, never stopping his ministrations. I covered my mouth, not wanting to le them know what we are doing, though whoever it was has already guessed.

"You are needed downstairs."

He growled and took my nipple in his mouth, suckling and biting at it.

"Ahh!" I cried out, my hand latching to his hair.

"Sir?" the voice asked.

"We. Are. Busy. Marcus and Athenodora can go. They have enough power. Now. Leave!" He ordered, his eyes blazed to the door.

"That was a little forceful," I whispered, biting my lip. He raised an eyebrow.

"And? They left didn't they?" he purred, leaning down to nibble under my ear.

"Hmmm," I moaned and there were more knocks at the door.

"WHAT!" I screeched.

"Erm, Mom, you're needed, erm, kind of like, now. Sorry, I'll just…erm go" Renesmee squeaked from the other side of the door.

I stared dumbfounded at the door, incredibly guilty that I screeched at my daughter. I eyed Aro, his face hesitant.

"Give me my dress," I murmured glumly. Aro smirked, defeated and passed me my dress as well as some underwear.

"Yay!" I cheered. Finally!

Aro chuckled and stroked my cheek.

"So that's all you wanted?"

I winked and shimmied into them, snapping the elastic when they were in place.

He chuckled, waiting for me to finish. I looked in the mirror, checking the state of my hair.

Yep, it was a state. All mussed up and wild; I really don't do almost sex hair. I tried to tame it by running my fingers through it.

It helped a little; it just looked like I have a load of volume.

"Lets go," Aro announced, opening the door to reveal a very deeply blushing Renesmee.

She looked shyly at us from under her lashes, Jacob stood next to her. Of course he had a huge smug grin on his face.

"Sorry to interrupt but being King and Queen, of course does come with some responsibilities." He said, his grin getting wider as I scowled at him. Renesmee blushed deeper and hid her face in his shoulder.

Well, his elbow; he was huge compared to her.

I pulled a your-joke-was-so-not-funny face and strode off to the throne room.

"What are we going to do?" Felix asked. We had been here for hours. One week wasn't exactly a long time to prepare but we couldn't fight the witches alone.

"Felix, Heidi, Alec," Aro stared, "Go to Europe, bar from Romania and its close neighbours. Find anyone, everyone and bring them here. Tell them of our case,"

They nodded and left the throne room, Felix hanging back a little to get one last look at Elizabeth. She had a black sash on her arm with Edward initials on it. She gave a small nod and turned her attention back to us.

"Carlisle, would you be able to take your family and the rest of our guard to America and Canada and search, again for anyone and everyone. Please?"

Huh.

That was weird.

He asked Carlisle if he could go, giving him the choice whereas he ordered Felix and the others to go. I suppose he still holds respect for Carlisle.

I smiled.

"Of course,"

"I'll go with them. I have some friends in America; they'll help us no doubt," Elizabeth said, leaving with them.

"Wait," Renesmee said, stopping. I frowned; what was on her mind now. "What about Nahuel and his sisters? No doubt Lillian would love the fact that there's more than one like me in the world. I'm sure, if you let me go, I can get him onto our side,"

I shook my head. Nahuel didn't live in a house so he wasn't that easy to find.

"Honey, finding him will be hard. How do we know that you'll make it back in time?"

She stepped toward me and took my hands, staring into my eyes intently.

"Trust me," she whispered. That was all I needed to hear for her to convince me. I sighed, squeezing her hands before letting her go. She wrapped her arms around me and I heard her snuffle.

Oh don't cry my baby.

I felt a hand on the small of my back; Aro. He stroked Renesmee's head and murmured something to her. She let me go and smiled.

"Jake, go with her," I begged.

"Do you think I was going to let her go alone?" I asked, in an obvious tone. I rolled my eyes and he took her hand. "Leah, you're in charge-"

"No way!" Seth shouted.

"Quiet!" Jacob snapped. "Leah, you're in charge, keep me up to date on everything,"

"Sure thing," Leah answered, making a face at Seth.

"Come on," Renesmee said. "I need to get my stuff,"

Jake nodded and they left.

I slumped back into my husbands arms and said, "So who are we looking for?"

"We? No, no mia dolce. You are staying in the tower with Athenodora and the other wolves will look after you. Is that alright with you Leah?" he asked. My mouth dropped open.

That is not happening. I am not going to hide away in a tower whilst my family and my daughter risk themselves to find others.

"Yeah that's fine. We can all swap around and alternate." She nodded.

"No," Athenodora said.

"Athenodora," Aro chastened.

"Exactly, no way. We're not going to stay here. I'm going with you and no doubt Athenodora will go with Marcus. Sorry, hiding isn't an option." I said, putting my hands on my hips.

I want him to know that I mean business. Instead, he was trying to hide the smirk playing on his lips. I sighed, letting my arms drop; I don't do stroppy.

"It's just for your own protection." He murmured.

"What about Renesmee's protection? She's much more fragile than I am and you've let her go," I pleaded.

This stunted him.

He nodded slowly and wrapped his arms around me tighter.

"Alright, very well, we are going to help the wolves protect the castle and we are going to welcome the people who have come to help. For now, we need to set up defences."

I nodded and kissed his cheek.

"Okay, love. Let's start."

Day 5

"Where's Renesmee?" I asked, completely stressed.

There was 2 days left until the battle and we had heard nothing from her or Jacob. I was pacing in the throne room, my black leather armour on. My heavy boots were soon going to wear out the marble floor and Aro knew this.

"Love, stop this. You are making me dizzy," he chuckled.

I stopped, glaring at him. He laughed a little louder and took me in his arms.

"She'll be back soon, don't worry about it darling."

"At least all the others are back,"

"Hmm,"

The others returned a while back.

The Cullen's and the rest of the guard returned with the Denali's and some nomads.

They managed to find Peter and Charlotte and another guy. He was tall, gangly and I really didn't want to go anywhere near him but he wasn't physically unattractive. In fact, he was quite cute. He had dirty blond hair that was all tousled and had muddy red eyes.

I didn't understand it. I frowned visibly and Eleazar spoke.

"This is Fred. We found him in Seattle a few weeks ago and he says that he has a link to the family. He also has a power of physical repulsion. He's the safest guy to be around,"

I smiled warmly and I felt the need to approach him.

"How do you know the Cullen family Fred?" I asked.

"I know the Cullen's from a few years ago. I was created as part of an army-"

I gasped.

The newborns.

He was one of the newborns made to kill the Cullen's. He winced and continued cautiously.

"But I couldn't go through with it. I tried to convince my friend Bree to stay too but I never heard from her again,"

I sighed. I know he never heard from her. I was there.

"I know, Fred. She died. I'm sorry,"

"But it wasn't the Cullen's that killed her. They wanted her," he hissed angrily.

Then I felt the slight push get stronger. He didn't want Aro or the Volturi anywhere near him.

"Why are you here?"

"I want to help. I am told that I have a gift and I don't want the witches getting me, not like they could," he mumbled the last.

"That's very good of you, Fred," Aro said, he smiled but it didn't touch his eyes; he was wary.

Fred hasn't really been seen after that. I was told that he has always been insecure and its followed him into his vampire life. I felt sorry for him but I also could relate to him. I was always insecure.

They also managed to find the Amazon coven, who I was more than delighted to see again.

"Bella!" Zafrina cheered, holding her arms out.

"Zafrina!" I smiled widely and we embraced loudly, laughing and talking hurriedly.

"How are you? I hope you are coping well with this new life of yours?" she murmured, eyeing Aro.

"I'm good thanks, and yes I'm fine here. Wonderful in fact." I smiled warmly. Kachiri and Senna were behind her, talking to each other and mumbling warily.

"Hi guys," I smiled and they waved politely and Kachiri hugged me warmly.

"It has been so long Bella,"

"It has,"

"So, witches? That's new. I never thought that they would make themselves known," Zafrina said.

"Yeah I always thought that they were so peaceful," Senna mumbled.

"We usually are but sometimes one can go a little mad," Elizabeth announced walking through the door, some women behind her.

"Elizabeth," I smiled, welcoming her back. "Who are your friends?"

"Well you know Annabelle." She said. Annabelle smiled widely and waved. Elizabeth pointed to her friends, introducing them in turn. "This is Tina, Jennifer, Sybil and Olivia. They think that Lillian is a bit mad too,"

They were all very pretty and had sharp features.

Like in Elizabeth it was her eyes but in Tina it was her hair. It was golden and shimmered with the slightest movement. She had brown eyes that were almost black with the density of them. She had a little nose and was taller than Elizabeth.

Jennifer and Sybil had brown hair quite similar to mine. Sybil had blue eyes which had tiny specks of green in her irises. She was small compared to her brown haired familiar. Jennifer had hazel eyes; in fact they were close to the Cullen's eyes.

Olivia was the standout of the crowd. She had short dyed-red hair, making her bright blue eyes stand out. You could tell that she was the youngest of the group. Her features were fresh and she had many modern day habits and fashions.

"Yeah, and we believe that Lizzie should be in charge," Sybil said, her British accent strong.

"Okay, okay, Sybil." She shook her head. Elizabeth obviously didn't believe it.

"Welcome Ladies," Aro smiled.

They mumbled hellos, whereas Elizabeth welcomed him warmly. They were probably a little afraid.

"Come," Elizabeth said. "We'd better find some rooms before the vamps take them all."

We laughed and they left the room, Elizabeth smiling at the Cullen's, welcoming them.

Felix, Alec and Heidi didn't have that much luck.

They found Alistair, who of course was a little shifty. They found some Spanish vampires, Vanesa and Alejandro.

None of them had any powers but you could tell that they were Spanish. They had dark hair and their skin had a slight tan. Vanesa had a kind of gypsy dress on and Alejandro wore more relaxed clothing, just some jeans, a t-shirt and a loose shirt.

"Aro," Vanesa smiled.

"Ahh, Vanesa dear, how are you? It has been so long,"

"It has but they said you needed help and here we are. This is my mate Alejandro. He doesn't speak much English."

"Welcome Alejandro," Aro smiled.

He nodded and smiled; he said something in Spanish and Aro laughed, replying in the same language. I shrugged at Athenodora; she didn't know either.

They became fast friends and now we wait.

I could hear people practising their fighting skills outside, being careful not to break down the defences.

We built the wall higher and plastered up the windows. We barricaded the door and had explosives; apparently Athenodora has a knack with them, planted in various places.

Alice skipped into the room, Jasper following her with Peter and she reached out for Aro's hand.

"What is it?" I asked Jasper, a little concerned.

"They'll be here soon, sooner than they said. Good job we're prepared."

"What about Renesmee?"

"She's coming back," Alice interrupted. "I keep having blank spots so she's moving."

I nodded. At least she's on the move.

Alice gasped and grasped Aro's hand again.

"Oh my," Aro gasped. He growled and let go of Alice, angrily pacing the throne room.

"Aro?" I asked, standing.

He said nothing just pacing and mumbling to himself.

"Aro please tell me, what is it?"

"They're here. They've arrived and they're about to attack any minute now." Aro growled.

"Alice, Jazz, go and get the others and tell them of the news and get ready."

They nodded, leaving quickly, their voices shouting the news.

"Is it?"

"Yes, mia cara. This is t my Isabella. I love you," he murmured.

"I love you too," I whimpered and pecked his lips. We didn't want to tempt fate by saying goodbye.

We slowly walked from the room, going outside to fight with the others.

A/N: Here we go!

So the next on will be the Battle! Get your tissues ready .. not everyone gets a happy ending.

Please tell me what you think :D

Update soon!

Cheerio!
