Thank you guys for all of your support and good reviews. I never know if my story is good or not. Please review and constructive criticism is welcome.

"It's not possible. It was stolen years ago." Aro said. He was blocking his thoughts as he had since Edward and I had joined.

"I have it and if you want it you have to let Edward and Bella go."

"Yes, yes alright just give it to me." Aro said and put his hands out in front of him. Alice reached into the back pocket of the beige slacks she was wearing and pulled out a dark golden stone. It was round and smooth. She passed it to Aro who immediately closed his hand around it.

"How did you get this?" Aro said.

"I have my ways." Alice said.

"Tell me how you got this. Who had it?"

"I found it when I was in Texas one time."

"Did someone who had been making newborns have it?"

"I think so."

"Alright go." Aro said and turned around. "Oh and send Carlisle my regards." He added before he left the room.

"Come on." Alice said and she led us out of the room. We went down the stairs and Edward and I ditched our cloaks with the secretary. We hurried out of the room.

"Alice how did you really get that stone?" I asked. she was blocking her thoughts still. "What can you use it for?"

"Later" she thought. She led us to the parking lot and we followed her to an Aston Martin DB9 (Picture in my profile)

"What about the car Edward and I have?" I asked.

"I'll return it. Meet me at the airport." Edward said.

"I'll go with you." I followed him and hopped into the passenger seat.

"What does that stone do?" I asked Edward.

"It allows the owner to see anyone they wish."

"So that's why Aro wanted it so bad. What did he mean it was stolen years ago?"

"Years and years ago right before Carlisle left the Volturi he stole the stone they had. Or the Omniscient Stone as most call it. He didn't feel it was safe in the hands of the Volturi."

"But now they have it again. It's just gone a full circle."

"Yes, I want to talk to Alice about how she got that stone." He finished his thought as we pulled into the rental car garage. Edward paid and we met Alice at the entrance to the airport.

"Ready to go?" She asked and we both nodded. She bounced into the airport. We got tickets on the next plane that flew to New York.

I walked into our home in Des Lacs with Edward right behind me. Alice walked up to Jasper and pecked him on the cheek. Esme and Carlisle came up and hugged us both. Then Carlisle turned to Edward.

"Why did you do it?"

"I did it because I wanted Bella to have more experiences since she refused to have so many human ones. She also wanted to protect the wolves and I thought that she was only holding back because of me." Edward explained. When he was finished Carlisle simply nodded.

"Where are Emmett and Rosalie?" I asked the room at large.

"Hunting" Jasper replied. I nodded.

"What about the stone? Are we going to get that back?"

"Carlisle? Why did you let Alice give the Omniscient Stone back to the Volturi?"

"Well I thought if you really wanted to be free, it was worth it."

"Why did you steal it in the first place?" I asked.

"Well the Volturi were going to use it to track down all the vampires in the world and make them live in Italy. It would be easier to keep tabs on them you see. I believe in freedom and we should be able to live where we want. So, I stole it when they were having a snack. Then I left a few months later."

"Do you think that they will try and do that now?" I asked.

"I can't be sure what the Volturi will do but I don't believe that Aro will want to. Jane may but I think that Aro just wanted the stone. He has been worrying for many years that the stone was in the possession of a vampire that was going to use it for evil."

"Didn't he realize the coincidence of events? I mean the stone disappeared then you left?"

"I've always wondered about that. Not to be arrogant but I think that he always had too much respect for me to ever accuse me of stealing." Everyone was silent, thoughtful.

"You want to go?"

"Go where?" I asked not really concentrating.

"Upstairs."

"Sure." I let Edward grab my hand and drag me upstairs. He pulled me into our room and we sat on the pink suede couch Alice bought me for my birthday last year. We knew it would hurt her feelings if we gave it away.

"I don't think that we missed much school." Edward thought as we sat down.

"School?" I groaned. Edward laughed and mussed my hair.

"Remember our act."

"Fine." I adjusted myself so I was resting my head on his chest. I closed my eyes and Edward started playing with my hair.

"Hello" I heard Alice sing. I opened my eyes and sure enough Alice was sitting on the bed across from us.

"Hello, Alice." Edward said calmly.

"Can't she ever leave us alone?" Edward was thinking

"No" I accidentally said out loud.

"What? I haven't even thought my question yet?" Alice said confused.

"Nothing. What do you want Alice?" I asked sitting up.

"I wanted to ask if you wanted to come shopping with me."

"No."

"Why not?"

"I hate shopping remember?"

"Yeah but I thought that maybe you wanted to get that dress that you have been thinking about."

"How did you know…?"

"I saw you buying it." She said tapping her temple.

"Later, okay? This weekend." I promised her.

"Okay." She agreed happily and skipped out.

"That girl has too much energy for her own good." I said.

"I heard that Bella." Alice said from downstairs.

"Good." I yelled back. Edward laughed under his breath. I laid m head back against the couch.

"What's wrong?" Edward asked, pulling me onto his lap.

"Nothing."

"You're a rotten liar."

"I know."

"Tell me what's wrong."

"I just hope that Jacob is okay." I revealed.

"He'll be fine. He's a big boy. He can take care of himself."

"I know it's just I still wonder how he's doing. I feel like he hates me."

"He doesn't hate you."

"You can't know that."

"Yes I can and I do. He still loves you."

"I know. I wish he would just imprint already."

"I'm sure he will. Now let's stop worrying about Jacob. He'll be fine."

"Alright. So what do you want to do?"

"Do you want to go downstairs and see the rest of the family?"

"No, not right now. Do you want to go for a run?"

"Sure, anything you want."

I giggled and he kissed me on the lips.

"Race you!" I said and ran out of the room. I got out the door in the lead but when I jumped off the porch and hit the sidewalk with a bang I saw Edward zoom past me. I ran to catch up, laughing hysterically. I sped up, pushing myself to my limit. I caught up and ran past him blowing him a kiss along the way. He laughed and started keeping pace with me.

"Where are we going?" He asked as we hit the forest.

"I don't know. Where do you want to go?"

"New York? We could go and watch Phantom of the Opera."

"Okay but let's go back and get my car." We turned and ran back to the house. Edward ran in and let the rest of the family know where we were going then met me at the car. We drove down to New York and pulled into a parking lot across from Broadway. It was late but New York is the city that never sleeps. As we stepped from the car, I heard a scream in the distance. I ran toward it with Edward following me trying to remind me about our cover but I ignored him. As I rounded a corner I saw Demitri with a human girl slumped in his arms, blood dripping from her neck.

"Demitri!" I shouted at him and he dropped the girl. She lay mangled on the ground.

"I thought I would find you here." He said calmly.

"Of course you knew where to find us."

"I'm not happy that you changed my thoughts, Bella." He said.

"I had to. You were being ridiculous."

"Yeah well Jane recruited the wolves anyway."

"She did what? Aro promised."

"If we kept every promise we made we would not be very good rule upholders. Plus, Aro only promised your freedom."

"What do you want with us?" Edward asked.

"Well I told the others how you changed my thoughts and the don't know how many other thoughts you have changed so they gave me permission to do away with you."

I took a few steps back. "You-you wouldn't." Edward put his hands on my shoulders.

"Run Bella I'll hold him off"

"Not without you." I told him.

"You're being ridiculous. You could die. Demitri is a very good fighter."

"You could die and we stick together."

"Stubborn as always."

"I can fight."

"You need to go." Demitri suddenly launched himself at Edward. Edward threw me out of the way. I smashed into a wall but got up and ran toward the fight. Edward was having a hard time. Demitri was blocking his thoughts cleverly. I jumped on Demitri but he just threw me off. I got up and threw myself at him again this time sinking my teeth into his shoulder blade. He cried out in pain and Edward took the opening to punch him in the face. Demitri flew across the parking lot and lay sprawled on the ground. Edward walked over to him and whispered something into his ear. I listened.

"We spared you this time, but don't bother us again." Then he got up and walked back over to me.

"Want to see the play still?"
"No, maybe another time."

"Okay let's go home." We walked to my car and hopped in, headed for home, not knowing what awaited us.
