I do not own twilight characters

Chapter 12

Weeks went by. No sign of snow, royal vampires, stray vampires or anything really. The only things that were happening was the excitement of the upcoming Nessie and Jacob wedding. Nessie were finally of age and obviously couldn't wait any longer. Alice and Rosalie were excited about dresses and decorating. Emmet and the wolves were excited for the parties. Jasper, Esme and Carlisle were excited for the celebration of love. Bella and Edward on the other hand…well they didn't seem thrilled about their only daughter being married so young. But hey, Bella said she was married young so she wasn't arguing really. Nessie wanted me in the wedding as a maid of honor, for some reason we grew close. Maybe become of our shared species or shared hobbies, we started to become friends.

Today we were on the way to Seattle. Embry put up a fit when I told him it was just a girls day. He was attached to my hip every day since the beach but we never did really explore our feelings since then either. We never finished that kiss and yes we hugged when greeting each other or leaving but no farther than that. I could tell he was hiding something, something that was being swept under the rug and I intended to find out soon.

We drove in her little black BMW all the way up to Seattle laughing amongst ourselves and talking fashion and what to buy and where to go. We knew both Jacob and Embry followed us but we weren't phased by it. We parked on the street and went to get coffee first, I haven't had good coffee since I left Detroit and honestly I missed it. Katie worked in a coffee shop down from her house and she would sit in there all day on the computer, mooching off the free Wi-Fi and refills Katie would sneak her. She shook the thought of her old friend, she couldn't even contact her, which I guess was to keep her safe.

"Ma'am what would you like?" The teenage girl behind the counter knocked me out of my memory as she stared impatiently behind me, I guess at the line that was backing up. I sighed and ordered whatever Nessie had in front of me and handed over my cash. Nessie was gulping down hers getting ready for a long day of shopping and spending. I laughed at her when I could see her eyes growing into wide saucers. I took my drink and grabbed Nessies hand before fighting through the crowd to back outside. Then it was Nessies turn to drag me.

First it was to Wet Seal where she tried on I believe every dress in the store, I just stuck to jeans and shirts since I was still wearing everybody elses. Nessie then suggest five other stores where she did the same thing, try on everything but only pick a few items. She was defiantly taught well by Alice. I chuckled as we made multiple trips to and from the car to pack her things into the back seat.

By the time we were done it was 5 o'clock, we had been there since 8 this morning. I relaxed into my seat as I listened to the radio and Nessie babble on about soon we would have to go get her wedding dress and the bride maids dresses. I just nodded because my head was somewhere else.

My head or my nose actually was focused on the sickly sweet smell that was following the black BMW we were in. I kept my mouth shut and looked out my passenger window to see another black car following. Nessie was still talking and I didn't want to make her scared, Jacob wasn't here to protect her and I knew she was sheltered. Edward and Bella never saw a threat coming so they never taught her to defend herself, plus honestly Nessie was famous in the mythical world. Who would even want to hurt her? No one. But me on the other hand, I was a weapon that people wanted. I tried to slow my heart down knowing Nessie could hear it. I licked my dry lips and closed my eyes. I had no clue who was in that car so I couldn't strike, I just had to sit and pray Alice could see us but honestly…I was doubting it. Alice said herself she couldn't see hybrids, it was just a black hole she couldn't fill in. Two hybrids were in trouble right now and she wouldn't able to see it and send someone for us. It was just us.

"Nessie were being followed," I whispered as low as I could knowing she could still hear me though. And the others in the car behind us could too.

"What?" She asked loudly and panicked. I placed a hand on her shoulder and let out a deep sigh.

"There is a vampire in that car behind us. You could either keep goi-." I didn't have a chance to finish my sentence because in that moment I wasn't watching the car slammed into the back of ours. Nessie screamed and tried to get control of the car where I watched out the back window as they did it again. I told Nessie to hit the gas and go, give this baby the power we all knew she had. But Nessie was too shocked to do anything but widen her eyes and hyperventilate. Jacob sheltered her too fucking much.

"Pull over," I yelled at her and unbuckled knowing they could pull over with us. She looked at me like I was crazy but soon remembered what I could do and if need be this was the only way to get out if they didn't want to talk. She pulled over on the shoulder overlooking a huge cliff and the ocean with its rough waves crashing down. The car followed like I knew it would. I got out and told Nessie to stay in, she would only freak out and make things too tense for me to concentrate. I couldn't put her in danger, I or anyone else would never forgive me.

"What do you want?" I said in a normal calm voice even though no one from the other car had got out. After a few moments they stepped out, it was Jane and another Volturi I did not recognize out of Carlisles books.

"Why you my dear," Jane cackled as her robe whipped in the wind behind you. I shook my head knowing I could not kill her. I would be killed on killing a high up royal, the one I killed was no one to them, just a rouge who they sent to die anyway.

"I'm not going anywhere sorry," I told her in an even voice. The boy was leaning on the hood cracking his neck and knuckles every few seconds, trying to act big and bad even though he looked more like a scrawny 13 year old. "What do you want?" I repeated after a few moments of all of us sizing each other us. The boy was the one who talked this time.

"Aro would like to pay you a visit," he said in a bored tone. Well duh, we all knew Aro was going to pay a visit. The note said when the snow sticks. But this was rain, harsh and cold rain. Not snow.

"We are not ready for his visit," I tried to keep my teeth from chattering in this storm. I believe they would have taken it for fear. Other cars drove past us probably thinking we were crazy. I would have if I was just a passerby.

"Oh we know. He just wanted to announce it I guess. Aro now a days is all about manners and politeness, he wanted to let you know when he will be here so it was not a surprise," Jane answered back to me with a cocky smirk not letting me know the rest of the reason. I raised my eyebrows at them and waited until the boy spoke to finish it.

"He wants you to be ready to leave when he shows up. I guess so you can say your goodbyes because we all know that you will be ours. Our greatest weapon." The unnamed boy was then slapped on the back of the head by Jane, apparently she was the greatest weapon to the royals. Why she was aboard me coming into the family then? Time will tell I'm sure.

"Well tell Aro he can come. But I will not be leaving," I said with as much force I could manage at that moment. If it's a war they want to get me then it's a war they will get.

And with that they two got back into their black dented car now and drove off. Leaving me soaking wet in the rain trying to hold tears back. Nessie was extremely quiet in the car but I heard something inside the car. Talking. She was on the phone and had made sure the whole family heard what just happened. I sighed and shook my head not wanting to go back to the Cullens and explain that I just fucked up everything for everybody.
