Hey guys! I know I haven't updated in a while, please don't kill me!

Aro's POV

I was really worried for Alec. Misty was his mate, but she had been taken. Luckily the two hybrids we were waiting for would arrive today. I was sitting in my chair, thinking, when someone ran up and opened the door. I looked up and saw two hybrids with blonde hair that looked to be about sixteen.

"Where are they? We came to help." One of them said. Kaitlynn ran in, smiling.

"Katarina! Brittany! It's so good to see you! We need to get Misty, Flame, Wind and Rock out of our father's base right NOW. They've been gone for a week. Kat, can you locate them? I'll grab Alec, Brett and Felix then we can go." I had already given them permission to go as soon as the two hybrids arrived. Kaitlynn had told me that it should take a maximum of fifteen minutes, and that they would get in, get the hybrids, and then get out. The people Kaitlynn had mentioned ran into the room, ready to go. Katarina opened her eyes.

"Got them! You guys ready?" She asked. They all grabbed hands and Brittany closed her eyes in concentration. There was a loud crack, then…

Alec's POV

We appeared in a dirty cell. I looked to one wall and saw the four hybrids chained to it while a vampire was torturing them.

"Who is your master?" The vampire asked.

"We d-d-don't have one!" Misty cried. I growled and the vampire turned around.

"You." He said. I lunged at him and tore him apart. Felix set the pieces on fire as I ran over to the wall. "Misty! Are you ok?" I asked. She looked up.

"A-Alec?" She rasped. I broke the chains and picked her up. I saw Brett, Kaitlynn and Felix doing the same to the others. We all came to Brittany, each of us holding a hybrid. We grabbed her hands and just as a group of vampires came in we disappeared. We appeared in the throne room and Brittany collapsed.

"Aro, we need Carlisle!" I said. Carlisle rushed in, then immediately started giving orders.

"Get them some blood, quickly! They seem to be alright, although they are suffering from blood loss, dehydration and mild starvation. They should be fine, though." Carlisle said. After waiting a week, Misty started to stir.

"Alec? What happened? Where am I?" She asked in a rough voice.

"We rescued you. You're back at Volterra, Misty. You're safe now." I told her, handing her a cup of blood.

"You should never say things like that, Alec. You are never completely safe. I may be safer, but I am not completely safe." She told me. I smiled sadly, sad that a girl her age would never consider herself safe, just safer. I helped her sit up, but when I went to pull away, she grabbed my hand.

"Don't leave me, Alec. You make me feel safe. Please?" She asked.

"Of course, Misty. I'm here. I won't leave you." I told her, my arm around her shoulders. She fell asleep with her head on my shoulder, and I didn't move. I just stayed there, thinking. When Marcus came in, he smiled. For the first time since his mate Didyme died, he smiled.

"You know, Alec, your bond with her is the strongest bond I've seen before. She is your mate, Alec, and you are hers. Although she doesn't know it, she already feels the pull. Don't lose her, Alec." He said, before standing up and walking out. Misty cried out in her sleep.

"Shhh, my sweet. It's ok, it's only a dream. I'm here, its ok." I whispered to her. She woke up, tears streaming down her face. I instinctively pulled her in closer to me as she cried, soaking my shirt. I didn't mind, though. "Shhh, Misty, don't worry. It was just a dream." I told her. She stopped crying, but didn't pull away.

"Alec, it wasn't a dream. It was a vision. There was death, so much death. They tried to fight, but there were too many. The Romanians are going to lose, Alec. You have to help them. They need help from the Volturi. They can help you, but first they need your help. You need to help them, Alec. Otherwise, there will be death, so much death." She told me, her voice shaking. Carlisle came in and told me he needed to examine her. "Go Alec, you need to tell Aro." She told me, so I went to go find Aro.

Hey guys! Sorry I didn't update… *Hides in corner*

Seriously, so sorry. I had MAJOR writers block. I tried to do a bit of Alec/Misty romance, but I'm not very good at it. When I started this book, I wasn't planning on having them together, but when I re-read what I had written it was pretty obvious. So, Alec+Misty! What do you guys think? Next chapter will be coming out soon, will be Misty's POV for this chapter, you will see the vision she had. Remember to review and favorite!
