A few months later, everything was doing great, the family was all together. Some of us were worried because Irina, from the Denali clan, may have seen Jacob, in wolf form, and Renesme. I, personally, didn't worry. Everything was going to be okay.

My visions had stopped, but today, I had a headache. That kinda worried me because I did that when a big one was coming.

We were all sitting around the living room at the Cullen house. Everyone was planning a trip to the Amazon, trying to find babies like Nessie. My wedding plans were, currently, put on hold for the moment.

Alice was going around, uselessly, tidying up. She was trying to make herself have visions. She was worrying about Irina…again. Jasper told her to let it go, and used his power. Alice stuck her tongue out at him and picked up a vase of roses to fix.

The room disappeared before my eyes as I heard a crash. The Volturi, they were talking. There was smoke, a fire, a woman was burning.

"Now she has taken full responsibility for her actions," one of them, Caius, smiled.

I stood there quietly.

"I hope this doesn't displease you," Aro said to me. I felt myself shake my head.

"No," I said coldly.

There was a commotion behind me, so many familiar voices.

"What about the others?" he asked me.

"You know how I feel about that," I said, my voice so icy.

"Do you mind if I talk to the witnesses, it's procedure?" he asked.

"Go ahead," I replied, "keep in mind the consiquences if you choose the wrong thing."

"Yes of course my…"

It cut off and I was brought back to the blurry present. Everyone, except James, was crowded around Alice, their voices, to me, a mere whisper. James was talking to me, but I couldn't understand anything he was saying. It was if I was under water.

"Someone's going to die," I whispered, or at least tried to.

They weren't coming for me, but someone else. Aro talked to me with so much respect, as if I was more superior than him….well duh! But, the Volturi aren't like that; they would never admit someone was higher than them.

I was confused, sorta. I wondered what Alice saw…She saw them coming? That's it? Though, they have obvious reasons to freak.

And I have to wonder why Aro was asking me permission to do things. Something, it was something. I wanted to know so much more, but, from the looks of it, it was a bit over a month till the day.

I saw Alice and Jasper leave and Jacob arrive. All of them, talking, and I was being ignored. I screamed, but no one looked at me.

I wasn't there, I was at home. James was shaking me back to reality.

"What's wrong?" he screamed.

Then, I felt them near, Alice and Jasper. They were leaving…

"Alice! Jasper!" I let out a piercing cry.

"What?" James yelled, "What's happening?"

"I…they…Vol…" I tried to say.

"Volturi?" he yelled in shock.

I nodded, "Coming…don't know why…Aro…me" I fell to the ground in pain; I could say no more.

"Damn it!" he growled.

"I must stay here, I can't leave," I whispered.

"Okay, you don't have to, you can stay," he said soothingly, getting down on his knees in front of me, trying to comfort me.

"I don't want to be around all of them, I don't want the questions."

"They're your family; our family I mean," he replied.

"No," I whispered, "they're bringing more. Preparing for a possible fight. Trying to buy time for an explanation, though, instead."

"More?" he questioned.

"Other vampires, other covens," I replied.

"Is it that great of a threat?"

"They believe they are coming for them all, the whole Cullen family, all of us."

"Is it true?" he asked.

"I'm not sure," I partially lied. They were coming for someone, and someone would die. But who?

"Are we in danger?" he asked, only referring to the two of us.

"No," I whispered. It hurt so bad, but I got it out. I'm not too sure about the rest of the family, but I was sure about the two of us.

James and I sat there in silence. A usually comfortable silence became so uncomfortable. We were worried, afraid. Alice and Jasper were gone, explains why they aren't in the field. Jasper must realize it now, why he wasn't there.

I cried, what if they don't come back? I love my brothers and sisters. I need them. Jasper and I could talk about the visions, if he was only here. Why did he have to go? Why did Alice have to go?

There was a faint knocking at the door, and James said something about getting it. Then, he returned with Quil and Embry in two. They both walked up to me and attacked me from both sides with a hug.

"We heard what happened," Quil said.

"We're so sorry," Embry added.

I cried, "I don't know why they left."

"You can't see why?" Quil asked.

I shook my head, "No."

"She had a big vision earlier," James said. "It scared me. She blacked out, eyes too."

"What did you see?" Quil asked.

"Volturi," I whispered, "they're coming. All of them. I think I know why. Renesme, they think she's an immortal child. Death is coming." The pain came back with the word death.

"Death?" James choked.

I gasped for air, as if I was being strangled, "Uh huh."

"No!" Quil gasped.

"Who?" James begged.

I violently shook my head as tears streamed down my face.

"You don't know?" Quil asked. I shook my head again.

"How many?" James asked. I shook my head.

The tears rolled down my face as the guys paced around the room. I tried to force myself to see more, but all I saw was the same thing on repeat. Why did I seem so cruel?

"Please show me," James begged.

"No!" I gasped, "I will not hurt you!"

"Please! I will not let you be alone with this! Show me!" he demanded.

"No! James I will not!"

"I don't care if it hurts me!" he pressed.

"It'll hurt me too! This is not the open mind, this is one vision! I will not risk it!" I yelled. It was pissing me off. He was going to cause me to blow up on him.

"Drop it James," Quil begged, "please."

"You don't want to hurt her!" Embry growled.

I stood there staring off into space. The cloaks, the red eyes, haunted my visions. It was so….frightening. Not knowing was killing me. And the fire, the scent…so real. Though, soon it really would be.

"Honey, are you okay?" James asked.

"No," I said blankly.

"She's not here," Quil whispered.

"Where are you going to?" Embry asked.

"Baby, where are you?" James asked.

"I'm in the field," I whispered. "Shh, they'll hear you."

"She's losing her mind!" Quil cried.

"Don't say that!" James growled. "Don't you dare say that!"

"Talk to me please!" Embry begged.

"I…" I blacked out.

"It' doesn't even give you justice," Aro said, "such a powerful beauty."

"Amazing power and strength," Marcus smiled.

"Exactly as described," Caius said with a smile.

"Thank you," I smiled serenely.

"No need to thank us," Aro smiled.

I laughed, "Keep on boosting my ego."

"It's who you are," Aro laughed.

"It's my destiny, but I won't change my life for this. I'll leave it in your hands, unless I disagree." I said.

"If you wish," Aro smiled.

"Shall we get back to the matter at hand?" Caius asked us.

"Of course," I smiled.

"Will you observe?" Aro asked.

"I suppose I will," I replied.

"Butt in where you need to," Aro added.

"Of course," I smiled with authority.

"Shall we begin?" Caius smiled.

"Ah, yes," I said, "but first, I'd like my fiancé at my side."

"Sure," Aro replied.

"James," I smiled and motioned for him to come over. He was still in shock from what he had heard, but he walked to my side.

"Vampire royalty," Aro smiled.

I opened my eyes to find myself lying in a dark room. I was alone, and it must've been after midnight. I wasn't sure how I got here, but I, at least, knew where I was. Home.

I wasn't sure if this was real. What if it was all in my mind? Voices…in my head? No, in another room. James and Jacob, Quil and Seth, Embry, Leah, and…..Sam? Jared and Paul?

I darted up off the bed and ran downstairs. They all turned and stared at me.

"Oh my God!" Paul gaped.

"Paul!" Sam hushed him.

"What the hell is going on here?" I growled.

"Well, James refused to leave your side, and we had to call in the reinforcements," Quil explained.

"Yeah, we didn't want anything to happen to him or you, so we had to call in the rest of the pack," Embry added.

"And when that didn't work, we called in a favor with Sam," Jacob added.

"You let them leave!" I growled and jumped in Sam's face.

"Uh, oh," Quil whispered.

"How could you?" I growled and pounded my fist on Sam's chest.

"Calm down doll," Seth begged.

"They're gone!" I cried. James ran to my side and took me into his arms. I cried into his shoulder.

"She has tears?" Paul busted out.

"Paul!" everyone yelled.

"What the hell is she?" Paul questioned.

"Paul, shut up!" Sam demanded, without alpha.

"But…" Paul said, Quil cut him off.

"Dude, stop!"

"You're gonna call us here for help and not even tell us what the hell happened to her?" Paul said quickly.

"We don't really even know what happened to her, so stop asking!" Jacob said.

"But she's a bloodsucker right?" Jared asked.

"Yes, Jared, she's a vampire," Seth said in annoyance.

"What about phasing? Can she phase?" Paul asked.

"Yes, Paul," Jacob said, and maybe rolled his eyes.

I sat there, while all this was going on, with my legs crossed, arms folded, pouting. James sat beside me with his head on my shoulder and a hand rubbing the small of my back.

"Michelle," Sam said nicely, "are you okay?" I shook my head violently as tears streamed down my face.

"I'm really sorry," he said.

"James," I choked out, "take me to the kitchen."

"Okay," he said blankly. He helped me up and toted me to the kitchen.

"Water," I choked out.

"Water?" he questioned.

"Uh, huh," I nodded.

"You need blood," he sweet talked me.

"Water is tasteless; I don't want taste. I'll be sick."

"Okay honey," he said and grabbed a liter of Fiji water from the fridge.

I grabbed it from him and started chugging. I finished in sconds.

"Another," I gasped. I sipped on this one.

"What the hell is wrong with her?" Jacob busted out.

"I don't know," James said blankly.

"Why is she drinking water?" Quil asked.

"She said she doesn't' want blood, it has a taste, and water is tasteless. She said the taste would make her sick," James replied.

"Are you thirsty doll?" Seth asked. He called me doll now. Em called me baby doll, but I'm older than Seth.

I nodded and drank more.

"We need to call Carlisle," James sighed.

"He's gone," Jacob replied.

"Only Edward, Bella, and Nessie are at home. The others went to find more help," Quil said.

"Call Edward," James begged Jacob.

"I'll do it," Sam said. He went to another room and called. After a few minutes he returned. "He said to keep an eye on her. He doesn't know what to do. He has never seen anything like this."

"My baby!" James cried.

"James! Get a hold of yourself!" Embry whispered intensely. "Don't do this, she needs your support!"

"What did she see? Why is she doing this? You don't think…" Seth said.

"No," I whispered, "they're okay." Referring to Alice and Jasper.

"Why are you doing this?" Embry asked. He was pointing at the bottle.

"I'm thirsty, but I'm nauseous. Blood tastes so good, but right now I just…" I gagged a bit.

"Oh my God!" Sam gasped.

"What?" all the guys asked.

"Don't you see it?" he asked.

"What are you talking about Sam?" Jared asked.

"No," James whispered, realizing what Sam was talking about.

"Michelle?" Quil questioned me with his eyes, I guess he got it too.

Suddenly, I realized it. I looked down and stared at my stomach. How? I wasn't trying to bring it back now. There was no fucking way! Not now, no!

"Michelle?" James questioned.

"No, it couldn't be," I said in denial. "No! I'm not ready! There's no way!"

"No, no, no, no, no!" Embry shook, his face turning green.

"Are you?" James growled.

"I…I don't know," I gasped.

"Look!" James begged.

"I feel weak," I frowned.

"Something doesn't' feel right," Quil shivered.

"The visions…so real…take me strength," I said between gulps. "Sometimes they would make me sick."

"Do you think that's what it is?" James asked.

"Maybe," I said softly. Hopefully….

"Let's just hope that's what it is," Jacob said.

"I'm not ready for a kid anymore. I want to wait…a long time," I said to James.

"Okay, you can wait," James said, trying to soothe me.

"There's so much more I want to do," I said.

"It's okay sweetheart, "James reassured me.
