Chapter 9

Author's Note:

This is my first fan fiction, and I made this story like a year ago I just didn't know where to put it and I didn't want to hand write it…so here it is! :)

SM owns everyone in my story except Alex and Wesley :)

Carlisle's POV

At first I couldn't understand a thing, they were yelling so loud and all at the same time.

"CALM DOWN AND TALK ONE AT A TIME!" I thundered at them. I must've yelled louder than I thought because I saw Bella cover her ears and wince. I looked to Alice first, since she would probably know the most being the physic and all.

"Well Carlisle, NASDAQ is, like always, shooting upward. So I figure if we sell Dow Jones but keep NASDAQ for a few days THEN sell we should be good, cause NASDAQ is going—" I cut her off, everyone else was just staring in shock.

"Alice do you realize we are about to be invaded by the VOLTURI and they are going to try to take YOU and EDWARD and JASPER and ALEX away from us FOREVER!" I all but screamed in her face.

"Yes, but I figured that if we get taken away you wouldn't be able to know this stuff, so I wanted to tell you now…" she trailed off. I sighed while locking the information in my brain.

"Edward. Your turn." I told him curtly.

"Well, I was thinking that if the Volturi are coming we should hide Bella, and get all of her human scent out of here…wait that still won't work…he'll be able to see you in my thoughts…I'm so sorry if anything happens to you…"He trailed off looking deep into Bella's eyes.

"Next." I said.

"Well, I doubt that the Volturi will send anymore than like three of four…they are proud and think that the world revolves around them. So I figured even if they sent Jane and Alec and Demetri, we should be good. If Alex shields all of us, it will be an even fight…" Jasper said, thoughtful.

"That's a very good idea, Jasper. I think you may be right." I nodded in his direction. "We need to make a plan now, Rose, you, Edward and Alex go practice working with her shield. Jasper and everyone else come with me to my office so that we can work out a plan.

Edward's POV

I knew Alex could already project fairly well, but I didn't know if she could while people moved around.

"So I figured you could protect Rosalie's mind while she attacks me and we'll see what happened, kay?" I looked at Alex's eager face and Rosalie's excited face, she couldn't wait to attack me. "Just, um, TRY to NOT hurt me…we will have to fight later…" I said looking at Rosalie's. Her excitement was still undimished.

Alex closed her eyes and concentrated very hard. Rosalie's thoughts, still imagining fighting me, started to flicker.

"You're clear." I told her, then I sank into a crouch at the same time she did.

We started to circle one another, not letting either have more ground. After about ten seconds she leapt at me, I quickly side stepped and grabbed her around the waist and threw her back. She bounced once and did a front flip onto her feet and lurched back at me, this time locking her arms around my neck and brought me down. This continued for about half an hour more, Alex was doing great I hadn't heard a peep from Rose yet. I decided to take it up a notch.

"Alex, since you are doing so great I figured you should try attacking as well as projecting, you cool with that?" I asked.

"WAIT! What about me? Do I get to keep fighting you too?" Rosalie asked before any one could say anything.

"Well Rose, I want some practice too, so why don't you both fight me, and I fight back." I told her honestly.

"Good. So Alex you up to it?" Rose asked Alex.

"Of course! I've always wanted to fight the 'great master' but never had a reason to!" Alex said excitedly.

They both came at me almost simultaneously it was rather frightening, they both had the same mask of anticipation pasted on their faces and I was unused to not hearing thoughts. We started fighting, they were both very good, but I could hold my own, years and years of fighting with Emment and Jasper payed off.

Esme's POV

I followed Carlisle and everyone else up to his office. I was very scared for my family, I was about to lose four of my children, well, more like five, if Edward got taken away, Bella would die.

"Carlisle, what are we going to do?" I whimpered to him in a small voice. He hugged me tightly, trying to reassure me.

"I am sure we will be fine, like Jasper said, they probably won't send more than three of the guard."

"Yeah but probably, that's the thing. What if they send more than that, they outnumber us?" I can't live, or unlive, without my family. I would die…again." I snuggled into his chest.

"It will be ok, I promise." I nodded.

We had reached the office and we all took a seat out of habit.

"Ok, so what is our plan?" Carlisle asked. Right then I heard Alice trill a loud laugh.

"I know exactly what we are doing!" She said, and leaned forward to give us all the details.
