Hello, lovely readers I am back with another exciting chapter. More challenging questions will be at the bottom of this lovely chapter, but I will say the plot thickens XD


Amelia sat in the Cullen's house, most everyone had gone off the hunt, except for Jane and Alec. They would wait with their mother figure and Queen, as she had turned the news on the television.

"Another body was discovered this morning, on the hiking trail off of La Push." The news anchor said calmly, making the three in the room sit up straight. "Carrying the same bite marks, and lack of blood was also found with this one, as the Police are labeling the killer as The Vampire."

"Oh Fuck!" Amelia cried out, her head slamming back on the couch.

Jane sighed softly. "We have to find the person responsible for this, and soon."

"I agree, one hundred percent." Amelia told her. "This is placing everyone in danger, vampire and human alike."

Alec nodded is agreement. "Who ever this is needs to be stopped, this will place pressure on every vampire who hunts. Both normal and vegetarian diets."

"The Cullens and Denali's less likely to be as affected, but I agree. Something has to be done, the criminals have no respect for the Volturi what so ever-"

"It says here, a necklace was discovered at the crime scene. A gold V shape." The anchor suddenly said, which had the three whipping their heads up as a picture of the Volturi crest flashed on camera.

Amelia pinched herself gaining two surprised looks. "One could hope, that this was a very bad and fucked up dream." She told them in response, and they slowly nodded. Grabbing her phone gently, she sent a group text to all of her favorite vampires.

'Family meeting!' The text read, as she relayed it to Jane and Alec as well. They nodded instantly.

"Master Caius is going to be pissed." Jane warned.

"I can calm Caius down, don't worry about that." Amelia promised, right as the Cullens walked in. Her mates along with Demetri and Felix were a little ways away.

"What's the 911?" Emmett asked, looking amused before he took note of the very serious expression.

"Have to wait for the rest of the Volturi coven, but they found another body." Amelia answered calmly. "With the Volturi crest laying near or upon it."

"Holy shit." Jasper stated in shock.

"Edward, go get Bella." Amelia said, and he nodded while leaving

"There is something else." Rosalie said, her eyes wide with concern.

Amelia didn't have to answer, as the news anchor spoke. "As of right now, the new Chief of Police as said there are no true leads, on finding the real identity of The Vampire killer."

"Oh god." Esme gasped.

"Please tell me," the voice of Demetri cut in. "We heard that wrong."

Amelia looked up to see very concerned faces upon her mates and the two guards. "I wish I could." She replied, moving to the three loves of her life. Touching Aro's cheek first, and his eyes were thrown open wide in shock.

"Our crest." He breathed, making Caius and Marcus look at their brother. "Our crest was found at the scene."

"My love." Amelia replied, pulling him close to her for a moment.

Caius looked unsure on how to act, he was beyond pissed. As he felt his mate wrap her arms around him slowly. "Amelia, be careful..I don't want to accidentally hurt you right now."

"You won't." She whispered, kissing his jaw; before moving to Marcus.

"Everything we built, it may be ruined." Marcus whispered.

Amelia eyed him for a moment, before touching his cheek. His red troubled eyes meeting her serious green ones. "We won't let that happen."

Edward returned with Bella shortly after, she having been watching the news at home already knew. "What will we do?"

"My Coven will need to leave Forks." Carlisle suggested.

"Carlisle, that maybe what they want." That made everyone look to Amelia. "Think about it, if you leave and the killing here stops...that would put the police at your door; wherever you are."

"She's right." Aro stated. "We can't up and leave either, for the same reason."

Amelia nodded, it being the middle of November almost Thanksgiving to be exact. "However laying low is a good idea." She said calmly.

Cullens nodded, as did the Volturi. "Extra protection of oneself." Felix stated. "Always looking over our shoulders is gonna bite."

Amelia looked at Aro, before taking his hand. Seeing his reaction to her idea, before speaking. He nodded calmly, in understanding.

"That is an excellent idea." He voiced as well.

"That idea not be, and no offense..animals." Demetri voiced, the Cullens simply shrugging.

"No, blood bags." Amelia stated, and all the Volturi seemed to think on that.

"Excellent idea." Marcus finally agreed. "We won't have to worry about being caught in the midst of feeding."

Caius nodded. "I may not like the idea, but it does have good intentions..and crazy enough to work."

Carlisle smiled at the brilliance. "I can get the blood, being a doctor; or at least get enough of a distraction for someone to sneak off with it." He said.

"I'll do it." Amelia stated simply, everyone looking at her with shock and admiration. "We should also get a look at the bodies."

"Why?" Emmett asked.

"Edward, how did you know when Victoria took my father's life?" She asked in response.

"Her venom was still on the wound- Amelia you were made to be a detective." He replied.

"Problem solving, it's my specialty." She replied.

"Which means we need two distractions, one so the blood can be snuck out, two to get to the morgue." Amelia said calmly, turning to her mates. "I suggest one of you go to the morgue, with the necklace being found its safe to say they were once or currently are a member of the coven."

Caius nodded. "Demetri, will go to the morgue as he can hone in on the scent."

"Now, who wants to do the distraction?" Everyone turned to Bella in that split second.

"Why is everyone looking at me?" Bella asked calmly.

"You are the neighborhood clutz." Amelia replied.

"I didn't snowboard down a cliff." Bella replied, making everyone but Aro look at the Queen of the Vampires.

"No, but you did jump off of one." Amelia retorted. "Also you trip on air."

"Back to you falling of a cliff." Caius stated, looking at his mate with concern.

Amelia sighed. "Didn't see the sign until it didn't matter anymore, and went down a 200 foot slope, luckily snow is a great cushion." She answered.

"Still didn't keep you out of the wheelchair for two years after the fact." Bella stated.

"True, now back to the task at hand Bella." Amelia retorted, while rolling her eyes. "I can easily hack into the hospital database and disable the security cameras, but still will need eyes everywhere…"

Bella looked at her sister with shock. "You realize you get caught, bye bye Oxford right."

"Bella, there is something so much more at stake than me going to the fucking college." Amelia stated, clearly annoyed at her sister.

"Just stating a fact." Bella replied.

"And I am stating my own, the security and secrecy of the vampire world is more important." Amelia said, and everyone looked at her, she was willing to throw away her human future for them.

"We will bail your ass out, don't ya worry." Emmett said simply.

"Then disappear with you to Italy." Felix agreed afterwards.

Carlisle walked up to Amelia, before wrapping his arms around her. "You have our backs, and we have yours."

"Familia est sempiternum (Family is forever)" Amelia replied, and he squeezed her a bit tighter.

"Semper enim est cor meum (Forever is the heart)" He replied.

"Et cor domus (The heart is family.)" The two said together, before pulling away, she moved to stand back with her mates. Smiling brightly at Carlisle, at her eternal father.

"Pater aeterna. (Eternal father.)" Carlisle smiled just as bright as she voiced the words in her heart.

Meanwhile, Chief Stevens was reviewing the case, studying pictures of the apparent bite marks on the victim. Writing in her notebook calmly.

'Subject, appears to have some sort of unknown substance coming from the injury. I will know more once the labs have finished testing.' Her carefully cursive filled writing continued. 'The Vampire, is one sick and twisted individual. I just fear there may be more than one. As the necklace matches the same symbol as the boyfriend, that Amelia Swan has. However, without sufficient evidence I cannot prosecute him, his family, the Swan sisters, or the Cullens.'

Chief Stevens froze, as she looked at the file labeled with the Cullens name on it. Strange things have happened since they arrived back in Forks with their friends, and it seemed the Swan sisters were right in the middle of it. She hoped her conclusion on Amelia and Isabella was wrong, because if not that would link them with their father's killers, or at the very least they knew who it was. Both were terrible conclusions, but those were the only options.

Stevens thoughts were interrupted with her phone ringing. "Chief Stevens." She answered calmly.

"I'm faxing the results of the substance to you, you won't believe what is showing up." The voice of her lab technician spoke, he sounded quite excited.

Moving to the machine, she grabbed the paper that had printed. "What am I looking at."

"The substance is some sort of venom, more to that I was able to get a match in DNA..of a woman who disappeared almost 2000 years ago." He explained, and instantly she grabbed the second sheet.

"Sulpicia Duncan, where have I heard that name before?" Stevens questioned.

"She was the daughter of the great Warrior Duncan from ancient Greece. Remember archeologists dug up his tumb a few years back." The man replied.

"Oh yes, I watched the documentary...but how did you get this DNA match?" Stevens questioned.

"Well I crossed all the DNA in our database, and it showed it had about a 50 percent match to a bit of lasting bone marrow that was recovered from our dead warrior. He had only one child." Was the explanation.

The Chief stared at this information. "We need to keep this between us for now." She eventually said. "This has given us more questions than answers."

"I completely agree." The technician said calmly.

With that, the phone call ended and Stevens sighed as she scanned the new information. "How is your DNA on this victim?" She wondered, before placing the information in the Cullen file. She made a note to go and speak with the Swan sisters in the morning.


Alright my lovely readers here are the questions, you can either choose one or answer both it is entirely up to you.

1) Will Vampires become public knowledge, and if so how will the world react?

2) How will Aro, Marcus, and Caius react to learning that DNA can be traced back to vampires?

Please answer, and the challenge is to get this to at least 45 reviews, can we do it. I think we can.
