***Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope that you all are having a good one. Love ya Bethy99***

Recap:

Jane turned and looked toward all of us. She smiled with her eyebrow cocked, "This will only hurt a little." Right then Edward was screaming out in pain. Bella screamed as she went to charge Edward. I growled as I went towards Bella, then everyone charged the Volturi. The fight for life had began.

To be truthful, I don't really know what was happening. I was so focused on keeping Bella safe. As she charged towards Edward to help, I followed behind her to protect. As I got to Bella's side, Edward was panting but didn't look in pain.

"Edward, are you okay," Bella started to cry over him. He whispered out a yes. I heard a growl come from my left and I looked over. The little girl was glaring at us. "You little bitch," her red eyes were on Bella. I started to growl and step in front of Bella and Edward. "Get out of my way mutt," the little girls eyes came to mine. I waited for the pain to come but it never did.

Edward growled in a whisper, "Oh no you don't." Edward raced forward and attacked the little girl. He caught her off guard and pinned her to the ground, snapping her neck before her eyes flickered from mine. I looked around at the chaos around us. Both Carlisle and the leader of the red eyes, were yelling for everyone to stop but no one listened.

I heard another growl coming from my right, and I saw the other child looking vampire move towards us. "You killed my sister," he screamed at Edward. I saw this fog start to come towards us. "Bella, shield us. Protect us," Edward asked in a whisper. Bella looked back to me and then to Edward. I saw her eyebrows come together as she focused on Edward. I saw the smoke hit what must have been Bella's shield. Then watched it came around us and engulfed the shield. Bella started to pant, "Edward!" She said in a small whisper, "I don't know how much longer I can hold."

My eyes shot towards the treeline where I knew Tessy was. I could sense her near by. I saw the tall woman walk out of the treeline and then Edward gasped, "What the." I was thinking the same thing at the sight I saw before me.

She didn't look like this just a few hours ago. She was glowing a beautiful blue. It was radiating off of her. I looked around to see that everyone had stopped in mid battle, and were on the ground, as if asleep. Everyone, besides us.

She walked to the middle of attack and started to pull everyone apart. Physically moving them to other areas. She did it so fast that if you blinked you missed all her movements. It was like she was dancing around the limp bodies and placing them where she wanted.

Edward whispered to Bella, "drop the shield Bella." Bella let out a huff as she dropped it. 'You didn't tell me you could do this,' I said confused by this new development. Tessy chuckled and continued to move people around.

I turned back to look at Edward to see if he knew what she was doing and he just shrugged his shoulder. "I have never seen this before." His eyes went back to Tessy, watching her in amazement.

Tessy nodded her head as if she were happy with the placements. She moved Carlisle and Aro back to by in front of their families. She stood beside Carlisle lifeless body and looked over to us. "Come, stand behind me and Carlisle. Watch the show." The smile that spread across her face was evil but yet beautiful. I snorted and looked over to Bella. She wrapped her fingers in my fur and reached over for Edward's hand. He looked to me and I rolled my eyes. He accepted her hand and we walked over, standing behind Tessy as she requested.

I didn't like Tessy's side being exposed, so I moved up to be beside her. Bella moving to keep a hold of my tail. I nudged Tessy with my shoulder. 'You should stand back. I don't know how they will react to me being here. It could get ugly.' I huffed, 'You are a friend. You have come to help us. The least I could do is protect your side.' She reached over and rubbed between my ears. 'Friends, that's nice to hear. Thank you.'

I looked up and she turned her focus back to the Volturi in front of us. She closed her eyes and the blue tint around her faded. I heard everyone growl and then gasp. I watched the Volturi get up looking around confused and frustrated. I could hear the pack ready to charge again. I whispered, 'Wait! Wait for my word!'

I heard Carlisle gasp, "Tessy." At the same time I heard the rest of the Volturi gasp her name. She smiled as I saw the tall black haired vampire move to stand beside their leader. "Tessy," her name escaped his lips like a lullaby. She cringed at his voice and continued to stand there. I felt people coming around me. Looking around to see the rest of the Cullen's coming forward.

Alice smiling with a wide grin, "I wondered if I would ever actually see your face." Tessy chuckled and looked back to Carlisle, "I had to stay in hiding, as you know. I've heard so many good things about you and your family, Carlisle." He still looked at her in shook, "Everything that I read about you, you died. Some raiders got into the castle and killed you. I didn't, I can't believe, I didn't put the name together."

She wrapped her arms around him and hugged him. She whispered, "I should have had you as a son." Carlisle chuckled as Tessy pulled away. Her face changed as those red eyes of fury looked at the Volturi. I looked over to the Volturi and saw red eyes of fury returned. "I don't understand this," the one Carlisle called Aro said. "I saw the man kill you," Aro remarked as he stepped forward but Tessy put up her hand to stop him. Which he did, as if he were afraid of her. Hmmm.

"You saw yourself killing someone, but it wasn't me Aro. See, there are things that I can do, that you had no clue about." I looked back to Eleazar and he was smiling from ear to ear. Aro's voice seemed angry, "Like what? I looked at my father's memories and there was nothing there that alerted me to another power of yours."

Tessy laughed and started to move towards him. I watched as the whole group of Volturi vampires stepped back. Edward whispered to Carlisle, "They are afraid of her." Carlisle smiled, "As they should be. She is one of the original Volturi. The bride of their father. In their history, their father and her made the Volturi to join the community of vampires to one. After her husband, their father died in a raid with the Hittites, the sons took over. She stood beside them as an adviser. They took over the Romanians and shortly after there was a breech in Volterri and they found Tessy beheaded with her bed up in flames."

He paused and looked to Edward, "She's been one of us for over four thousand years. She is strong and has abilities beyond anything I or Eleazar have ever seen."

My mind was going crazy as I watched Tessy inch closer to her adopted sons. I thought, she was our savior, our hero in the shadows. Of course, they wouldn't have foreseen this because I was the only one to see her. Oh she is smart, smart and wicked. She turned her head towards me and smiled, then went back to those furious red eyes of the Volturi.

"You have dishonored your father and I. We worked so hard to maintain peace among ourselves. Why didn't you listen to me when I told you not to attack the Romanians? Are you in that need for power? I don't understand why you are putting families against families." She looked behind Aro, "Caius, sweet Caius. Marcus, look what he has done to you." Her eyes went back to Aro, "Your father would be assumed of you, as I am."

A low growl escaped Aro, he looked ready to attack. I growled and snapped in his direction. 'It's okay Jacob, I have him.' As soon as she said that Aro was on the ground, asleep again. I looked to Edward who stood there with shock on his face. Eleazar whispered towards Carlisle, "Fascinating. She can manipulate the mind. She can shut it off completely or wrap it to believe what she wants. That is how he thought he killed her. She made him believe it was her and she escaped. That is also why we were on the ground. She basically made us unconscious. I have never seen someone with so many powers, and so powerful."

I looked back to the group in front of us. Tessy walked over to Jane's body, "Tsk tsk, such a waste of a beautiful creature." She looked back to her son's and glared, "How did you not know your brother killed me?" They stared at her and then lowered their head. The white haired man whispered, "Sorry mother." He came forward and bowed to his knee and kissed her hand. He looked up to her, "Please return to us mother. We need your guidance." She looked to the other. He too came forward and bowed to one knee and kissed her other hand. "Dear mother, please forgive us?" He looked up to her, like asking for forgiveness.

She pulled her hands away from them and left them kneeling. She looked back to the one asleep and he gasped. He sat up looking around confused. His eyes came back to Tessy. "Mother," he whispered and moved forward to do the same but she moved out of his way. "Shame on you," she growled. She was starting to glow blue again. Gasps and murmurs arose among the groups.

In a growl of a whisper she glared down at her sons, "GO! Go now and leave this family alone. If not I will return and you will suffer my wrath. I promise you that, you will not like the outcome. Now, go!"

Aro stood up, not looking at us and turned to his group of followers. "Come my friends. It is time for us to venture home. We have much to discuss." Next thing I could see an empty field and forest. The only thing left was a couple of lifeless bodies of the dead. I breathed a sigh of relief when they were all wearing red cloaks. Everyone was fine on our side.

My attention came back to Tessy as she walked back to us with a smile on her face that was of a goddess. She opened her arms up and spoke, "Friends! The fight is over. Let us rejoice and spend time together as one." The wolf pack howled as did my tribe. Everyone cheered besides the Romanians. They just glared and moved off to their coven.

I saw Jasper and Emmett move around me. Emmett went to get the lifeless bodies as Jasper got the fire started. I nudged Bella and motioned towards the trees. Edward mumbled, "He's going to go change. He'll be right back." There was one good thing out of Edward hearing my thoughts, he could pass messages to Bella for me. He glared, "I'm not doing it because I like you mutt."

Bella smack Edward in the chest and then winced from the pain. "Ouch, I forget that you're like brick." He chuckled and gave her a hug. I started to think that it wasn't so bad really for Edward to be around. Bella loved me in a different way than she did Edward. Bella wanted to be my wife and that's all that mattered.

As I got into the treeline I sense something was near but I couldn't tell what. I transformed back into human form and started to dress when I felt a breeze come across my back. I smelled my,....mother's perfume? I turned towards the smell to see a glow before me. "Jacob," the voice whispered. "We need to talk," as I saw my mother step in front of me.
