Wow, again that's all I can say. Thank you to all of you that have added this story to your favorites and those that have left reviews. I didn't honestly expect people to review. I'm writing for the love of writing! Thank you!! Again, I don't own "Twilight" nor do I take credit for the song titles from Tiger Army. Speaking of Tiger Army, they are an amazing group of guys! I can say that from experience from meeting them and talking to them. Here's the next chapter…Enjoy!!!

My family apparently decided I had enough "quality" time with Jasper because they sent Edward to my bedroom door.

"Hey Alice, Carlisle wants you downstairs."

"Okay." I reluctantly pulled away from Jasper's chest. Jasper seemed as upset as I was to be summoned apart. I pulled on some new clothes as Jasper did the same. He reached for my hand and squeezed it.

"I'm here for you." He promised as he kissed my hand.

"Always." I knew it was true. Jasper would always support me. "And I as well, for you."

Jasper gave me his incredible smile and we walked hand in hand down the stairs to find my family in the living room.

"Alice!" Bella came rushing toward me and pulled me into a hug. "Thank God you're okay. Edward told me that you disappeared."

"I'm fine." I smiled and followed her to the couch.

"Alright, give us the details!" Emmett pounded his hands together. "Whose ass do I get to kick first?"

I laughed at my brother. Rosalie kindly slapped him upside the head.

"Be nice." She threatened.

"I was." He offered. "No one messes with my little sister and walks away unharmed."

I appreciated his over protectiveness. I'm not sure why all the guys in my family think I need protected all the time. It's true I'm short, but I can fight.

"Tell us what happened." Carlisle said getting everyone settled and down to business.

It took me a while to fully explain to my family because I kept having to answer questions from Emmett such as 'was there a lake of fire' or 'was the devil really red and did he carry a pitchfork'. Even after I explained to him that I wasn't in that kind of Hell, he still had multiple questions. Thankfully Carlisle got him to stop. As soon as I finished my story, my family all had stunned expressions on their faces.

Edward was the first to speak. "He's not taking you Alice."

Jasper shook his head. "Hell no he's not! He'll have to get through me first."

I grabbed Jasper's hand. "That's what I'm afraid of. He's threatened to hurt all of you if I don't surrender."

"It's like you said Alice, he's a demon. Which means he lies. You can't trust anything he says."

"I can't risk you." I put my hand on his cheek and then turned to the rest of my family. "Or any of you getting harmed because of me."

Emmett smiled. "The only one that's going to be harmed is Damon. I'm personally going to enjoy kicking his ass."

"He's a demon. You can't kill him." I reminded him sadly.

"Maybe not but I sure can give him hell." Emmett started laughing. "Give him hell, get it?"

Rosalie shook her head. "We got it baby."

Esme had stayed quiet through the whole story. She reached over and grabbed Carlisle's hand. "We have to do something. What about the Volturi? Do you think they could help?"

"Not without wanting something in return."

"What about the fact that this demon wants to destroy all vampires. That would include them as well, right?." Bella commented from her position beside Edward.

"I could try." Carlisle said, "But I'm not sure a trip to Italy would be wise."

"I was given three days to decide." I reminded them. "We don't have that much time to travel."

"Can we sacrifice Jane or Aro instead?" Emmett asked. "Hell, let's just offer the entire batch to Damon."

"Emmett this isn't a laughing matter." Carlisle's voice was stern.

"Do I look like I'm laughing. I'm being serious. Don't you think Damon would be more willing to accept someone of their talents than Alice?" He shot me a look. "No offense pixie."

"None taken." I didn't comment on his pixie remark.

"As crazy as it sounds, I think Emmett has a point." Rosalie said. "Why not offer the most powerful clan of vampires?"

"Don't you think Damon would be already be aware of the Volturi?" This came from Edward. "He seems to be well acquainted with the vampire population."

"I could always mention it to him." I offered. "I'm sure he's still signed up for my Physics class."

Jasper shook his head. "No, I don't want you anywhere near him." He glanced at Carlisle. "Alice needs to drop that class."

"I can't! I need that credit." I told him. "Besides, we're already way into the semester."

"Carlisle?" Jasper pressed.

"It's up to Alice."

I smiled and nodded. I knew Jasper wasn't happy with that but it was my choice and I knew that Damon would attack me in front of witnesses. At least, I was sure he wouldn't. "Okay, so tomorrow at school I'll just casually suggest that there are worse vampires than us that he should focus on first." It all sounded simple in my head. I just prayed it went as smoothly as I made it sound.

The next day at school I walked to my Physics class hoping that Damon was there. I would be extremely lucky if he was and no one else was there yet. I don't need nosy teenagers eavesdropping on our conversation. Damon was there but sadly so was several other people. He flashed me his bright white smile and winked. He actually winked. I felt like puking.

"I need to talk to you." I said as I sat down in my chair beside him. I chose to wear jeans and a longer shirt today.

"Of course." He leaned over and whispered in my ear. "Are you ready to join me?" I could feel his hot breath against my ear and I shuddered. I didn't like having him this close to me.

"I have a proposition for you."

His eyes widened. "I'm listening."

I glanced around and noticed two girls were staring at us. I focused back on him. "I'm not sure this is the best place to talk."

"You're right." He stood up and made his way to Mr. Gates who currently was getting his notes together. "Um, Mr. Gates, I'm not feeling so well. Do you think Alice could show me where the nurse's station is? I've never been there and I really think I'm going to pass out."

Mr. Gates is one of the most unobservant teachers I've ever seen. He relied on his notes to tell him what to teach. Heaven forbid if he lost them. He'd never get a lesson taught. He waved his hand indicated for Damon to leave. Damon gave me a grin and I gathered my book bag and followed him out of the classroom. We left the school and went into the woods. Damon kept walking further and further. I finally stopped.

"We're far enough." I said.

He turned and smiled. "Of course." He put his hand on my cheek. "Now dear, what is this about a proposition?"

I took an unneeded breath and began. "Are you aware of a vampire clan called the Volturi?"

"If you are speaking of Aro, Marcus, and Caius, then yes. What about them?"

"You have to know that they are more powerful than I or any other vampire is."

"I do. What's your point Alice?"

"My point? My point is that I don't understand why you're attacking my family and not going after them! You have to know our family is much better than they are!"

He smiled. "Dear Alice, when are you going to learn it's not actually your family that I want."

I felt sick. "Then what exactly do you want?"

"You of course. I at first wanted you to be of service to my realm but then I got think thinking of making my legacy last even longer. I wish for you to be my mate."

Okay, it was now official. I was going to be sick. If I were human, I'd be losing everything I had in my stomach. I shook my head.

"No, never." I tried to make my voice strong but I failed miserably. "I belong to Jasper and no one else."

"And when I kill Jasper? What then?"

Anger unlike anything I've ever felt surged through my body. "If you so much as go near him."

"You'll what? Kill me?" Damon laughed. "I'm a demon lord. I'm immortal."

"You will not touch Jasper." I made sure I spoke each word slowly and clearly.

Damon laughed. "You're going to be a wonderful mate. You sure have enough hell fire in you."

"I will NEVER be your mate! You can go straight back to hell where you belong!"

Anger flashed through his features and I felt the slap on my face before I even realized his hand had moved.

"Bitch! Never speak to me that way again." He was about to lunge at me again when he was suddenly slammed into a tree.

Jasper was at my side in an instant. He kept his eyes on Damon. Damon stood up and cracked his neck.

"Hello Jasper." He smiled in a wicked manner.

"I believe this is the part where I kick your ass back to hell." Jasper replied and lunged again toward Damon. Damon side stepped him in a swift motion. Everything became blurred. I heard more than actually saw flesh hitting flesh. It didn't take long before Edward was there.

Soon the area was filled with black smoke and Damon was no where in sight.

"Alice, what the hell were you thinking?" Edward swore at me.

Jasper was in Edward's face before I could even comment. "Where the hell were you! You're supposed to be keeping her safe! I swear Edward if he had harmed her, I would have made you pay severely."

"STOP!" I yelled. "Enough!" I couldn't stand them arguing. "It was my fault. I tried to talk to him about the Volturi but it was too crowded in class. Damon faked being sick and we came here to talk."

Jasper wrapped his arms around me and pulled me to his chest. He kissed the top of my head. "Let's go home."

"No, I need to go to school. I've skipped too many classes already."

"Then I'll be around. I'm not letting you out of my sight anymore."

"Jasper." He stopped me before I can finish.

"I'm not leaving you alone. If Edward would get his mind off Bella for five seconds, he'd be able to keep you safe."

"Leave Bella out of this." Edward growled. "It's not my fault Alice is stubborn."

"Could you please stop arguing? I can't handle it anymore." I took off back toward the school. Jasper and Edward apparently decided to let their differences aside as we walked back. At least I thought they did. Jasper must have been letting Edward have it through his thoughts because Edward would make comments toward to Jasper. I made my way inside the school and was instantly greeted by Bella.

"Where did you go?"

"Long story." I simply said. "You might want to calm Edward down. He's pretty pissed right now."

Bella nodded and left me to comfort Edward. Jasper remained outside but I knew he was near if I needed him. I just prayed I'd seen enough action for one day.
