A/N: Thank you so much to everyone that has followed the story so far, I'm sorry I haven't updated for a while. But after finishing one of the most boring pieces of writing I have ever had to do I thought I would upload this. ^_^

Chapter 51

JPOV

I was just beginning to move my hand from its position next to Morgana's head when a knock sounded at the door. I growled and snarled out, "What!" Peter chuckled once before becoming serious, "We need to get over to the house now, something big is about to happen. Something bad." He declared, I growled and rolled off Morgana, "We'll be right there." I sighed, trying to get rid of my erection. Nothing I did was working until Morgana whispered into my ear, "Jackson naked." I shuddered at the image that jumped into my head.

She laughed as she slid off the bed behind me and I turned to watch her. She walked over to her drawers and pulled out an emerald green tank top. I stopped her before she could put it on by wrapping my arms around her waist and kissing the top of her right shoulder, "We will finish this darlin', I promise you that." I moved away to let her put her top on and picked up mine, pulling it over my head.

She stood in front of me and pulled my head down towards hers. "We had better or you're going to be in trouble cowboy." She kissed me softly before darting away to put her shoes on. I reached for her left hand as she passed me and slipped the ring on her finger where it had been for the last 149 years and I was hit by a rush of emotions from Morgana. I smiled at her and followed her out of her room. Peter stood in the kitchen with his arms around Harry, their foreheads touching. They didn't turn around as we walked in the room, but Harry said, "I'm Sorry Annie, I didn't know what else to do." He ducked his head into Peter's neck.

"Harry that's completely fine, I am actually glad that you did." She kissed his forehead and then Peter's, whispering quietly, "If you hurt him I will end you, slowly and painfully." She danced back over to my side and tucked herself under my arm. She smiled up at me and I leant down to kiss her forehead. "Love you darlin'."I whispered into her hair, "Je t'aime cher. Now I believe that your brother said something about a problem?" She looked over at Peter and he nodded. "Yeah we should probably head over to the house now." He picked up Harry and darted out the back door.

"Catch me if you can." Morgana said before she darted out of the door. I grinned and sped off after her. We dodged in and out of trees all the way to the house, just before we jumped over the river; I caught her and pulled her close to me. "Caught you! What do I get for it?" I asked lowering my face to hers. "This." She whispered as she closed the gap between us and kissed me lightly. I followed her mouth when she tried to pull away, snaking a hand up into her hair and keeping her head still so I could deepen the kiss.

We kissed for a little while longer, our tongues exploring each other's mouths and our hands feeling each other's body through the clothes. We finally broke apart and darted over the river together, heading towards the house. I slowed down as we got closer. "What the hell are they doing here?" I asked to no one in particular as I identified the scents. Morgana squeezed my hand and smiled over at me. I couldn't help but smile back. With Morgana at my side I could take anyone on and win. I thought at we walked into the living room.

"Marcus!" Morgana exclaimed, letting go of my hand and running forward. Marcus held out his arms and let her run into them. He then closed them around her and held her tightly to him. I narrowed my eyes at him, but stood still. Had his emotions been anything but fatherly I probably would have ripped him apart. "Ciao little one. You have changed much since I saw you last." Caius laughed, "Dear brother she has changed species and breathing status since we last saw her." The entire Volturi guard laughed at this. "The story is long and complicated my friends. I believe there is a bigger story to be told before mine, non?" Morgana asked them leaving the circle of Marcus' arms and coming to stand next to me.

I smiled down at her and pulled her close to me. "Yes there is a grave issue we must discuss." Aro answered, gesturing for us to sit down before he continued. We complied. "Carlisle made us aware of when Alice left your coven. It seems that she had not been as truthful or as faithful to you and your way of life as you first thought. She made an army of newborns and then combined with another who had held control over another newborn army. Both she and the other vampire have reason to want you back, Major." Aro looked over at me.

"Maria. Alice joined forces with Maria." I whispered out, Morgana tightened her grip on my hand. "Well they can have you over my flaming pile of ashes!" Morgana growled out under her breath. I flinched at the thought, "I'd rather not think about it coming to that at all darlin'. What is there plan do you know?" I asked turning back to Aro, slipping back into soldier mode. "They are on their way here as we speak; they will be here tonight, tomorrow morning at the latest. I realise that it doesn't give us much time to prepare, but we will make do." Caius said, his eyes darkening slightly by the end.

"Right then the first issue is to work out a line of defence, how about the -" I started to suggest when Morgana cut me off. "If you even finish that sentence the way I think you are going to, you are going to have one hell of a fight on your hands even before the bitches get here. I am standing next to you and I will fight next to you. This isn't my first rodeo cher." She told me, looking up at me. I sighed and nodded, "I know darlin' but you have never seen war, vampire style." I looked away out of the window, thinking of how I used to be.

"Now major you stop that right this instant! I have seen and done just as many things as you have. Do you really think that I am going to sit back here and twiddle my thumbs, waiting for you to come home? It wasn't going to happen when we were human, it sure as hell ain't happening now. D'you understan' me cher?" Morgana's old Cajun drawl coming out towards the end of her speech, I knew this meant that she was serious and that she was upset.

"No darlin' I know that you wouldn't. I was going to suggest that you ladies be our second line of defence." I looked at them and knew I had made a mistake when I saw Harry shaking his head at me. "Excuse me? Jane did I just hear him right? Did he suggest that we go second?" Morgana asked Jane. "Why Morgana I do believe that is what he suggested. I believe that he thinks we are weaker because of our delicate nature." Jane answered back matter-of-factly. The Volturi guard began to snicker; Peter and Emmett didn't even try to stifle their laughter.

I sighed, "I'm sorry ladies if that is what I made it sound like, it was not intentional I promise. I merely meant that we should save some of our more gifted people from the front." I smoothly tried to work my way back into their good graces. They smiled, "Nice try but it's not happening. We are standing with you or we are standing in front of you." Morgana stated. I sucked in a breath at the thought of Morgana reaching the enemy before I did. No! That will not happen! Not if it is in my power to prevent it. The major snarled out in my mind. "There is no way in hell I am letting you stand in front of me darlin'." I growled out.

Morgana sighed, "Look this isn't going to help a damn thing. The first order of business is how many experienced fighters do they have? After that it's easy to get rid of the newborns, then deal with the putes enfer." Morgana said her eyes taking on a sharp edge. I tried hard to fight the urge to remove her from the room and either make her mine or lock her away from this fight. I looked over at the Volturi for confirmation of numbers of experienced fighters. "To the best of our knowledge they only have one skilled fighter, with newborns in various stages of their first year, many of have gifts but no idea how to use them." Demitri told us.

I nodded, that made things a lot easier. "We deal with this as a team, we haven't all fought together but we will work better as a team than they will. Just don't forget you have a major advantage in Harry and I, they aren't expecting two magic users, let alone an undead one." Morgana told us, I looked over at her and she froze. Her eyes glazed, becoming cloudy, for a minute before clearing, "They are waiting for us, they are cocky enough that they know that we will go to them to keep them away from the town. They are in the clearing that you play baseball in." She told us.

We all stood and got ready to fight, removing any unnecessary clothing and tying back hair that needed it. I turned around to talk to Morgana and my mind went blank, stood next to me was a goddess of war. She was dressed in all black leather and her hair was tied back. She looked at me and twirled. "You like my armour then Major? It's made of Dragon Hide, which is damn hard to pierce and lined with two of the hardest metal armours possible. One made by Goblins, the other made by the Dwarves. Now let's go get these bitches." She smiled a deadly smile at the end and I answered it with the major's smile. "I agree darlin'. Let's go show them they can't win."

Everyone cheered at this and we all ran out of the door apart from Esme, Bella and Edward. They were staying behind to keep safe and protect Bella. We made it to the clearing minutes later and stood in three lines. Peter, Morgana and I at the front with Harry, Jane, Alec and a few of the other guard behind us. The rest of my family and the Volturi, including the brothers made the third line. We stood there and looked across the clearing and waited. Moments later we heard the rush of footsteps as the newborns came closer and finally broke the tree line.

I inhaled sharply, there were more newborns than I was expecting. Without taking her eyes off them, Morgana reached over and squeezed my hand both comforting me and letting me know that she wouldn't be giving up easily. I purred lightly at the sensation of belonging and squeezed her hand back. She smiled up at me before looking over at our enemy. "Give us the Major and nobody will be killed. He and his brother are all we want. You would be wise to comply." Maria stated this clearly. Peter and I growled, Harry scoffed but Morgana just tightened her grip on my hand and inhaled sharply. No training however could have prepared me for what happened next.
