Alec's POV

When Misty AND Alice had a vision at the same time, you just know something bad is going to happen. Edward gasped.

"Carlisle! We're going to be under attack in one hour!"

"What do you mean, Edward?" Carlisle asked.

"It's Father. He somehow found out that we're here, and wants to get all of us." Misty said, sounding very serious.

"What do we do?" Jasper asked.

"We fight. Aro, we don't have the strength to teleport you somewhere else.

You're going to have to stay here. Kaitlynn, Brett, have you been practicing your fighting skills? Which of you Cullens can fight? Because they aren't going to want to lose this fight, it's too important. They're sending hybrids. Good news is that if we win, we'll free some hybrids. Bad news: if we lose, they take over the Volturi, humans find out about vampires, and the entire world plunges into chaos. Who's ready?"

I had to admit, this girl had spunk. Aro insisted on helping, since this was "Volturi Business", and me and Jane were not taking no for an answer on fighting in this one. Bella, Renesmee, Aro and Felix were to stay together. The hybrids, Cullens, Jane and me made up the front line. Misty had summoned some wicked looking daggers that were sharp enough to cut through vampire skin. Flame had a flaming sword that he had just made. Wind was perched in a tree, waiting to drop down on some unsuspecting vampire. But the number one rule: Don't let them touch you. Everybody was deadly serious, except, of course, for Misty. Flame assured me that she wasn't crazy. I wasn't sure whether or not I believed him.

We were all tense, when suddenly we heard a sound. Well, most of us did. Most of the hybrids didn't have as good hearing. Then, we all heard a rustling sound, and smelt a sickly sweet odour. That smells like my mist… Oh no! Edward! It's my mist! They must be connected and have gotten my power when they attacked me and Jane a couple of days ago!

"Bella! Your shield!"

"I'm trying, Edward! It isn't working!"

"Oh no! They must have brought Sammy!" Flame cried.

"Who's Sammy?" I asked. Flame started to answer, but then I couldn't hear anything, see anything, smell anything or feel anything. There was just blackness. They must be using my power on me! I thought.

Flame's POV

The blackness faded away, and we were surrounded. They had everyone except for me, Wind, Misty, Rock, Brett and Bella. I guess that she was still able to shield herself. They had everyone captured, and then the creature of my nightmares stepped forward.

"Hello children. I haven't seen you in forever. You didn't even send me a card for Father's day!"

"Father. Let them go."

"But the power…"

"Let. Them. Go… Now."

"No, son. They have such brilliant powers! And Aro Volturi! I could take over the Volturi if I captured him." I moved to attack him, but then…

"No, no, no. You wouldn't want your companions to get… Hurt would you? Surrender and we'll let them go. We won't even take Kaitlynn. After all, there wouldn't be any challenge if we had her now, would there?"

"What do we do guys? We can't let them take Aro! And if we don't surrender then they'll kill everyone except for Aro and Kaitlynn then take over the Volturi!"

"We have no choice. We have to surrender." Misty thought.

"Fine. We surrender. Now let them go."

"Drop your weapons and extinguish your flames first." We dropped our weapons.

"Now, sit down with your hands behind your head." We did that. They tied us up, then Father walked up to Kaitlynn. He drained her power, then did the same to everyone else.

"Hey! You said you'd let them go!" I said.

"Yes I did. And I will. I didn't say anything about draining their powers first though!" He replied. He finished draining their power. While he was occupied with that, Rock was busy writing a message.

"Hey! Stop that!" Father yelled.

"But father, we are just leaving a message! Surely you will grant us this one wish!"

"Fine! It's time to go now. We should be able to get far away from here by the time they all wake up!" They picked us up, and we left. There were tears in my eyes as we left the only friends we had ever known.

Alec's POV

I woke up, feeling like I had when my powers were drained. Powers were drained… Oh no! The hybrids! I managed to stand up to see Brett and Kaitlynn kneeling by a flat spot on the ground, crying. I went over, and gasped. I fell to my knees as I read the message. The last piece of the four brave hybrids who had saved our lives. Jane wobbled over to me. "No… No…" she whispered as she too fell to her knees.

I'll end this chapter here. Shout-out to Tayleya for being the first person to EVER favorite my story that means a lot to me. I probably won't be updating tomorrow since I'm competing in the Zombie Run, but we'll see. Wish me luck!
