Well this looks like a promising conversation.

And it might have been, if not for the door slamming open at that moment, and Rose running into the room. She stopped abruptly and looked between Jasper and me. 'We've got company' Rosalie said after a moment. "a lot of it' Jasper stood up fast bringing me with him and kinda held me behind him protectively. Which seemed ridiculous, Rose wasn't going to hurt me.

'Who?' Jasper asked Rosalie in a harsh voice. I poked him in the back in warning. He took a deep breath. 'Sorry Rose' he said and she shrugged.

'It's the Volturi. Alice only saw them for a second be for her visions blurred again. But it was enough to see that they were coming here' My head was spinning. I knew of the Volturi, had met their leaders in fact. Aro had quite the collection of mythical creatures and had wanted me to join his collection. When my parents declined his offer to join him, he didn't take the news well and has held a grudge for the last decade or so.

Then it hit me. The attack on the house and the Volturi coming now. Aro hadn't known of my ascent when we first met, he didn't know I was going to become a great deal stronger, so he let us go, because yes, I was powerful, even at a young age you could see it. The Volturi had been around for centuries and I alone could not defeat him while still in a vulnerable place before my aceant and he knew my family was the only known agilians left.

But now that I had ascended I could destroy them, with no help at all. Not that I had the wish to do so. I did not agree with the way they rule, I never did, but it was not my place to stop them. I would do anything to kept the peace my parent worked so hard to create with all the mythical creatures, of course given the chance I would kill them, enjoy it even, but I would not go as far as hunting them down just for the purpose of killing them. Which is exactly, I realized, what he was doing.

I looked up at them. I had only know them for a short amount of time but I felt strangely close to them both, sure Rose was a little protective, but how was that a bad thing? and Jasper seemed to have the same problem. I made the decision and stepped away from Jasper his head shot in my direction, stopping the conversation he was having with Rosalie short. His eyes questioning he took a step towards me and I in return stepped back.

'I have to go' I whispered barley able to hear myself over the thudding of my pulse in my ears.

'What?' Jasper demanded.

'Aro' was the only word that fell from my lips and in an instant Jasper in front of me. I was so surprised by the movement that I didn't have a chance to move. He cupped my cheek in his hand wiping away the tears I hadn't realized were falling from my eyes with his thumb.

'I won't let him hurt you' his voice was strong with conviction and I felt a wave of affection for him and smiled, a sad smile covering his hand with my own.

'It's not me I'm worried about' I said glancing at Rosalie.

Vulnerabilities

The word left a bitter taste on my tongue. It was what my papa called family and friends. Dread set in and I knew why papa had always called them that. All I had to do was mess up once and every thing my parents had worked for would be lost. The vampires are in peace with many of the mythical creatures in this realm and a few others. If word of the Volturi attack got around it could tear the mythical world apart.

How many would take their side in this? How many would take mine. I knew without doubt the dragon kingdom, or rather Alostec, the king of the dragon kingdom in the othoric realm would join to fight against the Volturi and through that I knew we had the support of the fairy kingdom. But I knew the shadowlanders were in favour of joining the vampires. I didn't even see why it mattered, my parents were gone and I didn't even know where Dante was.

'Um, Bella?' I looked over to Rose who was frowning, I entwined my fingers with Jasper's and dropped them between us. 'Can you explain why the Volturi are coming?' she asked.

'Maybe you should call everyone else and-' I was cut short by everyone coming in through the front door including my uncle and Char. Peter came up to me and hugged me tightly. I gave a one armed hug since mine and Jasper's hands still hung together between us. he pulled back putting an arm over my shoulders.

'It'll all work out in the end, just trust that this is suppose to happen' Peter said and I rolled my eyes laughing a little.

'Oh great Yoda, what have you to teach us this time with your knowledge?' I asked sarcastically.

'Yip it, pumpkin' He said, and I glared at him, he knew I hated it when he called me it and he always seemed t0o be calling me it.

'He's her uncle' I heard Jasper grumble. I looked up at his and he was scowling at the wall. I looked at everyone watching us and realized he was explaining it to them. They all looked curious, but Carlisle was the one to ask.

'How?'

'Well, as the Gods would have it. Athoreus, my father and his brother, was chosen as a human to become an agilian, which is how angilians use to come into their form, but a few decades ago there was a child born an agilian, but that's not important. They met like two centuries ago. It was a surprise to my father when he found out his brother had been turned, but it was fine in the end' I said 'Even if he is really annoying with his cryptic shit'

'Bella language' Said three female voices. I looked at the floor, away from the disapproving looks if Char, Rosalie and Esme trying not to laugh.

'Sorry' I mumbled. Peter on the other hand burst out laughing, as did Emmett, Rose it the back of Emmett's head as I elbowed my very immature uncle.

'Okay, settle down' Carlisle said, the authority in his voice was admirable. He gaze settled on me and he gestured around him. 'Now Bella, could you tell us why the Volturi is coming?' he asked.

'Well...' I started and then I told them. I told the everything, from when I first met Aro when I was seven all the until Emmett found me in the meadow having been shot. They all just stared at me after I had finished telling my story. 'So... What happens now?'

Kinda Important.
