~~~~~~~Chapter 2: Battle~~~~~~~~

When the Volturi arrived we met them in an opening in the forest near Mount Rainier. The same opening that we fought the newborn army in, and where we almost fought the Volturi almost a decade ago. I stood next to Edward, holding his hand. Nessie was on my left, holding Jake's hand. Siobhan stood behind all of us, towering over even Emmett. She didn't want to appear intimidating to the Volturi, because after all, we still did not know why they were here in the first place. Aro, Caius, and Marcus stood in a row. Jane and Alec were on Caius' right and Felix and Demitri stood at Marcus' left.

I never really liked Marcus. He seemed so old, so frail, like he was turned when he was in his sixties. Nothing to hate, but he creeped me out sometimes when I saw him, even as a vampire.

Aro clasped his hands together.

"Siobhan, so lovely to see your red eyes peaking out above a sea of gold."

Siobhan only nodded at Aro.

"You must be wondering why we are here today." He paused. Every eye in the clearing was on him.

"It has come to our attention that your Renesmee has informed a human of our existence. A human that none of you Cullens have decided to turn, and that you seem to have no plan amongst you to turn."

"What?" we all said, practically in unison, staring at Nessie who just shrugged. Siobhan slunk behind everyone so she was hovering over my daughter. She was very protective of her, Nessie even considered her to be an aunt.

"Wee one, for your safety, I wish that this situation turns out differently than the Volturi had planned." Siobhan whispered in her ear.

"Thank you Auntie Von." Nessie said to her, using a term of endearment that she used many years ago when she was just learning how to speak.

Suddenly, Aro laughed.

"Sadly, dear Siobhan, we have already made up our minds. I am afraid that using your powers will not prevent us from fulfilling our purpose here today."

He started walking towards Nessie, before he could get inches away from her Rosalie jumped in front of her guarding her.

"She's just a little baby. You can't hurt her," she snarled at Aro.

"Aunt Rose, I am not a baby."

"I am sorry, Rosalie, what we have come here for today will be given to us, regardless of your niece's tender age."

" Then you will have to go through me first" she growled through her teeth.

"Very well" Aro said and nodded his head, beckoning the other members of the guard towards him. Jane stared at Rosalie.

"Pain" she said in a barely audible whisper. Rosalie fell to the ground and began writhing in pain.

"Rose" Emmet lunged towards Rosalie, but Carlisle and Jasper held him back.
"There is nothing you can do now son, just let her do what she is told. Rosalie will survive" Carlisle said, attempting to console Emmett. Emmett relaxed.

Just as Aro placed his hands around Nessie's head, Edward stepped forward away from the clan.

"Don't kill her, take me instead."
