Edward had relaxed at Bella's side and the others took it as a good sign. The Queen spoke quietly to her mates, gesturing while she talked. Aro and his brothers looked ashamed and their gazes all moved to the ground. They nodded at whatever she had said which made her shake her head. When Callen turned back to the Cullens and moved toward them, Caius whined and grabbed her elbow.

Bella, Jacob, Edward, and a few others hissed in outrage. Callen merely looked sad for a moment before her expression crumbled and she turned toward him. Maneuvering Renesmee so the girl wouldn't be squished, she kissed him roughly. The kiss only lasted for a second before she turned and walked toward the Cullens again. No sound was heard except for Renesmee's strange heart and the crunching of the snow under the Queen's shoes.

Handing Renesmee to her father, the woman looked Bella up and down. They spoke for a moment and Callen complimented her, saying immortality really did suit her. She then turned and walked up and down the line of people, introducing herself. As she was speaking to Maggie from the Irish coven, Alice came running into the field. The tiny vampire was followed by Jasper and three strangers. Everyone turned and stared as Alice's expression became ecstatic. She hadn't seen for sure that Callen would be here.

The two women moved toward each other then hugged. Callen then embraced Jasper who, while looking extremely surprised, immediately returned the gesture. Alice grabbed her and spun Callen to face her, shaking her roughly.

"I saw you die here Callen. Right in this stupid field. Everyone was fighting and you got distracted trying to stop it. They tore you to pieces." The Queen asked who and followed the other woman's gaze. The last of the Romanian coven were glaring murderously in her direction. Callen had been told about this coven, about how terrible their reign was. As she kept staring at them Vladimir hissed viciously as if he couldn't wait to tear into her throat. The loud answering hiss from every member of the Volturi side and even a few on the Cullen side, was enough to stop any thought of action from the Romanians.

"Well then I guess we had better not fight." Callen smiled easily then faced her coven. "My dear ones, I see no danger from this child in the immediate future. We can reevaluate again in a few years. I believe my mates agree but if any of you have any further argument, please bring it forward now."

The entire guard was completely still. Not even a wisp of wind blew through the clearing. Callen's judgment was enough for all of them. They trusted her with their lives and this was absolute proof of that. They were also extremely glad that she had returned to them.

They then discovered that one of the people Alice had brought with her was a hybrid like Renesmee. He told his story and Aro verified it then commented saying they would investigate his creator's actions. A sudden lull in the conversation made the moment tense again. Some believed the Volturi were still looking for a fight, having come all this way. Callen merely clapped her hands and made a shooing motion. The entire Guard turned as one and began marching away.

"Be very careful little Queen." A dark voice penetrated the silence. "I believe we shall be seeing each other again very soon."

The woman looked back at the Romanian coven. Stefan had been the one to speak but both continued to glare at her. She was the key to bringing down the Volturi. Without her the Kings would wither away then turn into nothing but ash. The remaining coven members would then most likely scatter, leaving an opening for a new coven to take control.

"Oh, I do look forward to it." Her smile was dangerous but somehow still gorgeous. Then, simply because she was tired of being underestimated, Callen Volturi opened the biggest portal she had ever created. Without hesitation the Guard continued forward and walked into it. Shocked gasps came from the Cullen side of the field. Nobody had any idea the Queen had that kind of power hidden up her sleeve. The sound of others awe made the vampire smile before she stepped through with her mates at her side. They were going home.
