Chapter 4

Pipers POV

Everything was ready. My family would stand with me and be ready for the Volturi to do their worst. We still didn't know what they wanted though. The Denali coven had come to help along with the Amazons and the Irish coven also Benjamin and Tia from the Egyptian coven. They had come without Amun knowing. Even the Romanians made the trip as word had travelled yet again to see if the Volturi would be over thrown. They said it felt like déjà vu. I heard something about a big gathering before. When Nessie was born the Volturi came for her. I shuddered. Nessie is my best friend and imagining life without her...

I was sitting on a rock outside by the river. It was nice here. Peaceful. I was listening to the water when I heard someone behind me. I turned around to see Garrett from the Denali coven. He smiled.

"Hey Piper" he said.

"Hey Garrett. What you doing out here then?" I asked.

"Well I come to see you actually. I was wondering..I here you can take out peoples powers and give people powers and I was wondering..." He trailed off.

"If I could give you a power?" I read his mind. He nodded. "Well what power would you like?" I asked smiling.

"You mean you will? Oh thank you Piper! And could I have the power to apperate! You know where you think of a place you want to go and then you appear there? I think it would be so cool!"

"Ok Garrett stay still" I took out the power and gave it to him. After halving it of course. "Why don't you try it out?"I asked. He smiled. I read his mind and he was thinking of inside and then he disappeared. I smiled and walked in after him.

My mom was having a vision. It was The Volturi coming across the baseball clearing. It was soon, about 2 day's time. I was so scared I was nearly crying. I didn't want any member of my family to be hurt. I shuddered at the thought. Seth was such a mess over the past few days. That hurt me the most. Seeing Seth's pain hurt me more than my own.

Seth saw me walking towards him and quickly composed his face from agony to a smile. I knew how much it hurt him to think the Volturi were coming to kill me. I hugged him and he hugged me back. I looked up at his face and saw a tear roll down his face. I wiped it away.

"Sshh Seth It will be ok. We'll pull through don't worry" I tried to comfort him. He leaned down to kiss me. It was to short but then again time passes by so quickly in this tension. When we broke off I sighed.

The next day we all made our way to the clearing and were talking about plans of attack. Suddenly I started having a vision.

All of my family and friends standing ready and waiting. The Volturi coming across the clearing. Me and Bella shielding everyone. Aro apologizing and inviting me to join the Volturi. They had no witnesses this time....

"Piper! Piper what did you see?" Seth was shaking me as I snapped out of the vision. I was on the floor. What the hell? I swear I was standing when the vision started.

"Seth?" I said trying to stand up.

"I'm Right here babe, Right here" He said panicked. I stood up and hugged him.

"Th..the Volturi they wwa..want me to join them" I managed to choke out. "They have no witnesses with them so.." Another vision. Me saying no. The Volturi saying that I must be destroyed. Seth jumping at Caius. A huge battle as I cannot use my powers as Alec Has hold of me and the fight is to close And I may hurt one of my side.

"When I say no there will be a huge fight" I half shrieked. "My power will be useless as it will be to close and I may hurt one of you! Bella Still has her shield and we have many other powers but I will be useless!" Seth came to hug me.

"Shawty it's not your job to protect everyone" He said whilst rubbing my back.

"But Seth! Don't you understand? We could all die because of me! A.." Seth kissed me before I could finish. These days it was the only way we could stop each other having a full on panic attack. As he pulled away I hugged him tightly.

"Babe I have to go phase the Volturi will be here soon" He grimaced "I love you Shawty" He kissed my forehead and ran off into the forest. I turned so I was facing everyone.

"Everyone thank you all so much for helping me and my family and it means so much to me. When my dad died" I winced "It was a really hard time for me. But when I found Jasper and Alice it felt as though I had found my place in the world again. I felt whole for the first time in ages. I was no longer drifting. And the Cullen's were more welcoming than I could have ever hoped for and they made me feel right at home. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for coming here to protect that. Dear Cullen's I truly love you all and thank you for standing by me" A tear rolled down my face as I realized that all I said was true. Alice and Jasper, my mom and dad came to hug me.

We all got into position as we heard the sound of feet in the distance. The front-line was most of my family: Mom, Dad, Uncle Edward, Granddad Carlisle, Nana Esme, Uncle Emmett, Auntie Rosalie, Tanya, Katie, Garrett, Eleazar and Carmen. The next line back was me, Nessie, Auntie Bella, Benjamin and Tia. Everyone else was in a line behind. The wolfs had branched out in a final line behind us. Seth and Jacob looked at each other and quickly moved to stand next to us.

Seth nudged me with his muzzle and I kissed the tip of his nose. His head whipped round to the left and a growl rumbled in his chest. This was it. I held my breath as the last seconds ticked slowly by.
