MEANWHILE….

SP(Slutty pixie lol)POV:

Vision: Aro, Felix, and Jane are headed to Bella's house to deliver a message.. what exactly they're going to say isn't clear because they haven't decided…

End Vision.

"What was it Alice?" Esme asked worried. "Nothing permanent." I said grinning. Edward chuckled and then went on about his business of unpacking his and my suitcases in our hotel room.

BPOV:

"Come on Aro, I know you're out there." Suddenly Aro, Felix, and Jane stepped out of the wooded forest. As much as I respected the Volturi and loved that they had a particular fondness of me, these surprise visits weren't exactly my favorite thing in the world.

"Bella dear, we've missed you. Haven't you missed us in the least?" Aro looked at me expectantly as he asked me this. As if he was thinking I had the same fondness of them as they had for me. What did I do to deserve this world? Huh? Huh?

"Of course Aro, so much. Now how about you explain to me why you're here."I said in a slightly irritated voice.

"Bella, Bella, Bella do we need a reason to visit?" Aro playfully scolded me. I was really starting to get sick of these games.

"No, but you have to have one to be here when I know for a fact that an army of newborns is killing hundreds in Geneva so why don't we cut the shit and you tell me what it is you need from me." I said in a voice so menacing I was surprised no one tried to kill me afterwards.

"Ahh, I see you've heard about the newborns? Yes well we're trying to find vampires that have that particular skill. Killing newborns that is. You're friend in there would be particularly useful in this task, and we'd appreciate it you and your friend could accompany us to Geneva to help correct the problem." He said in a dull voice as if this was an everyday occurance.

"I'm sorry but aren't you the Volturi? You know leader of the vampire world? Why do YOU need help getting rid of a newborn pest problem?"

"Well you see… we don't… the reason we ask is because this particular problem is linked to you in a way I'm certain you weren't expecting… you see the vampire responsible for the mass army is Laurent."

"That can't be… I killed him. I watched his limbs burn to dust. " I imagine I have a horrified look on my face and not unjustified either. How could this be?

"I know this is unexpected but the ma you killed was Laurent's brother who as a vampire had the ability to look and smell like anyone." Aro explained with a sullen expression. Believe me Aro you are not the only vampire here that is miffed by the current and sudden situation.

" Well I can answer with a yes to helping you for myself, as for Jasper I can't say what his answer would be." I said in a bored tone. Jasper is special to me and though I'd like to think he'd help, I don't want to assume things.

"But of course Isabella, let us go inside and talk to him about it!" Aro said excitedly.

"No need. I'm right here. What do you want Aro?" Jasper asked impatiently, I was awe-struck by the fact that we hadn't even noticed him coming. I guess we were so engrossed in our conversation we forgot to pay attention to what was going on around us.

"Jasper! Just as delightful to see you as ever!" Aro said excited about delivering the news a second time. "You see Jasper in Geneva there's an army of newborn vampires killing hundreds maybe even thousands."

"What does that have to do with us?"

"So glad you asked, you see Jasper that newborn army is being created by Laurent. Where normally such things wouldn't matter to me I have a great fondness for Bella here and thought she and you might like to finish what James started years ago."

"What? But Bella said she killed him!" Jasper looks at me and says "Bella?"

"I thought I did… But that was Laurent's brother… he had used his power to look and smell like Laurent." I said looking at my feet.

"I'm in."

"What?"

"I'm in, I'm gonna help kill him once and for all." Jasper said determinedly.

"Oh my gosh… Thank you Jasper!" I nearly screamed. Without thinking I ran up and hugged him, he just stiffened at first forgetting I was a vampire and then eventually hugged me back tightly and whispered "If I didn't help you with him when I was around it'd make me a bit of an ass darlin'."

I can't believe Jasper is gonna help! YAY! Wait… what if he gets hurt.. Jasper must've sensed my sudden change in moods because he immediately looked at me with a "seriously?" look on his face. I smiled at him to let him know I understood and felt relieved that he had reminded me he had MORE experience in this than me so why was I worried?

Aro interrupted our inner conversation with "Then it's settled. We head head to Geneva a week from today."

"Wait, why are we waiting a week? I mean shouldn't we solve the problem before it gets even more out of hand?" I asked staring at Aro like he was one apple short of a fritter.

"We would but I have to get back to Italy and arrange an army of my own so we at least have good numbers when it comes to odds. With close to 75 newborns running around we're gonna need more than 5 of us. Plus you 2 need to get ready, get a flight, and actually make it to Geneva."

"I see, ok I understand. Well if you'll excuse us we have some things to sort out."

"Of course." Aro said and then disappeared into the woods.

"Well it seems we have some work to do." Jasper said and with that he turned around and started heading for the house at a slower human pace. I soon followed and we got to work getting airline tickets and getting clothes together to make sure we were ready if it ended up being an extended visit.

Next Day…

Jasper and I were training to fight the newborns. He was helping me master the different techniques used to fight. I had most of it down but we wanted to make sure we were both prepared. He had had years of experience fighting the Southern Wars with Maria I had only fought them once. It's amazing what you can learn about a person by how they fight. Jasper was amazing, it was almost scary to think about how he had gained these skills. As we danced what would've been a lethal dance if serious I realized I actually was in love with Jasper. But there was no way he felt the same so I just kept those feelings under wraps to where he'd only sense determination and how impressed I was with his fighting skills.

About 6 hours into our training the rest of the Cullens came to our house. "Oh my gosh, Bella! Jasper! Why are you fighting?" Esme asked almost yelling.

"We aren't fighting for real. We're training to fight newborns. Why are you here?"

"We wanted to see our son and daughter. And why would you be doing that?"

"Ummm… No reason." I looked at Jasper pleading for him not to say anything. He gave me a look of understanding and then smiled innocently at his. If Alice hadn't seen it then there was no way I was telling them.

They gave us an odd look and then left it alone. We all spent the rest of the day talking and catching up on things that had happened in each of our lives. Jasper and I both only had our minds on tomorrow though… and the flight to Geneva and ultimately the battle that decided who won. Laurent or Me and Jasper.
