Hey, thanks to everyone who has reviewed so far! This chapter is kind of short, but it was planned to be shorter, so I made it as long as I could. Enjoy!:)

I do not own Twilight or Maximum Ride

Chapter 5-Nemesis

Max POV

When dawn came, Elena and Ysabelle were both laying on the floor dead asleep. It didn't take that much to wake them up though, like I thought it would. Right when I touched them both their eyes shot open, and they jumped up into a standing position in a matter of a millisecond. I guess they were just as frantic to find Nikkie, or more I assumed. I didn't really know what it was like to loose a leader, cause technically I was the leader. So I guessed it would be like loosing one of the Flock, only at lot more urgent and fighting, if possible.

We were all ready to leave and Sam had sent Embry, Jacob, and Seth to come with us. I knew Jacob came for Nessie and that reassured Bella a lot. Embry had taken a liking to Elena, and she had taken one back. I wasn't sure if that was because he imprinted on her..or if it was just natural. And Seth came because I had heard that him and Nikkie had a strange episode together the last time we were in Forks, although I wasn't sure how it all really went.

Once we got to the airport I noticed that Elena had a hard, frustrated and concentrated look on her face. "Elena," I said. She blinked a few times then turned to me slowly. "You okay?" She just started off into space again and sighed heavily. "Nikkie won't talk to us. She can't really cause she's so far away and won't try to phase, but I mean.."

"Well...maybe you just have to trust her." I muttered. She glanced at me. "I do trust her," She replied softly. "I can't be blamed for worrying. Technically in werewolf terms she's my sister, and so is Ysabelle. We were all created by the same werewolf. We've got a bond that can't be broken, and we should always be able to talk to each other, but Nikkie's just...out of it. Like she's..." She shook away the thought.

"Your right, you can't be blamed. You have to trust that she can take care of herself until we get there. She's absolutely lethal, you know that." Elena gave me a small smile. "You sound as if from experience," She told me. I shrugged. "Well whenever someone gets hurt in the Flock or whatever, which happens a lot, you gotta kinda repeat it, and repeat it.." She chuckled. "Well...trusting her is all I can do right now, so I guess I'll just have to deal with that until I can get my claws wrapped around Draco's neck." She growled. Ysabelle, who was standing beside her, hissed in agreement.

The entire trip I had Fang's laptop in my lap looking up one word constantly: Vampires.

I looked up how to kill a vampire, and it said shot him with a bullet blessed by a priest, bury his body under running water, then cremate his body and sit down and eat on him. I didn't really have time for all that.

Carlisle was sitting by me and he chuckled at my bewildered expression. I looked up at him and sighed. "Please tell me this is all wrong," He nodded smiling. "It's not really that hard to kill a vampire," He said softly. "All you have to do is..decapatate him and burn all the pieces of his body." It made more sense now that Elena wanted to get her claws in Draco's neck. I chuckled as I shut down the laptop and handed it to Fang who was behind me. "Easier said then done, huh?"

"It's not really that hard for a vampire. Alice decapitated one named James, who was going to kill Bella when she was a human." I crooked my head as I tried to think of Bella as a human being attacked by a vampire. She didn't look very strong when I first saw her, so I guessed she looked defenseless when she was a human. "Tell me about it," Edward muttered from behind me who was sitting by Fang. "So...they won't..die unless you rip them apart and burn all the pieces? You can't leave them..headless?" Carlisle shook his head. "Not really." I shuttered. "Do you think that I would be strong enough to kill one?"

"Well we certainly aren't going to test that, but from what I've seen I think you might. Maybe not Draco, he seems very strong to live through Elena attacking him." I nodded. "Nikkie could kill him, right?" He shrugged. "She was created by one of the Volturi, and she is very experienced with fighting vampires from what I've heard. I don't know what they're doing to her, but I'm sure she can stall a fight for a little while until back up comes." I agreed with him.

Jane POV

I walked slowly down the golden hallways of my home in Volterra. Most people, especially humans, would stand and stare in aw at how beautiful and dazzling my home was, but I thought nothing of it. I only walked slowly because something didn't feel right for an odd reason. Without warning Alec was beside me. "Something wrong Jane?" He asked crooking his head. I smiled. Alec and I rarely had different emotions; If he was happy I was happy, if I was sad he was sad. He didn't look sad, just..conserned. "Do you feel...strange my brother?" I asked softly. He nodded. "You feel it as well?" I nodded. "What could it be?"

"Maybe it's because Nikkie departed?" A ghost of a smile creped over his face. I smiled. "Maybe, but it seems more..." I gestured with my hands looking for the word. "Downtrodden?" He guessed. I shrugged. "I suppose so." We walked in silence until we came across the room where the leaders usually stayed for meetings, deciding the fate of someone's life, exedra. Suddenly Demetri peeped his head out of the door. "Aro needs to see you two," He said softly. Alec and I glanced at each other, then walked towards the door. Demetri opened it wider and I saw that everyone was inside. I glanced at Alec at inhuman speed and he just shrugged so fast only I saw it.

"Ah, Jane dear," I looked up to Aro, who was smiling and standing up in the middle of the room. I returned the smile as I walked to him. "Master," I said politely. He kissed my forehead. "Sit, sit," He said warmly. "We have much to discuss." I held back my questions, and sat beside Alec.

"Now," Aro began. "I'm sure you all remember the little mishap with the Cullen's and the...other species a few months ago."

"It's very hard to forget anything that has happened so recently and harmed our standards," Caius muttered darkly. "Be that as it may, I've just found out that the Cullen's and Maximum are coming to Italy." Everyone remained silent. "What's the occasion?" Alec asked slowly. Aro sighed. "As you all know, the Lessers have been quiet for the past years. I haven't heard from them, and it seems we have forgotten about them. But something made me think of them, or think of me. Nickoletta had a...struggle with them."

"Struggle?" I repeated quickly. Aro looked at me with sympathy in his dull ruby eyes. "It seems that the Lessers have...taken her." I shut my eyes. Not Nickoletta, not her. "Why would they want her?" Chelsea asked trying not to sound as worried as she was. "I'm not sure, but from what I have heard Nickoletta and the Lessers have met before." Aro turned to Alec. "I know nothing of it," My brother told him truthfully. Aro nodded and turned his gaze to everyone else. "I'm assuming Nickoletta has called Maximum for help. Now, even though those children are very headstrong-"

"And foolish," Felix muttered. Aro ignored him. "Nickoletta made it very clear that they were dangerous. So it's obvious that they are doing more than just holding her there. In fact Nickoletta made it so clear that Maximum has gotten the Cullen's and a few of the werewolves."

"...Well what do we do Master?" Heidi asked. "Well Nickoletta is a very good friend of ours despite what happened with the Cullen's. Plus I believe that the Lessers have gone a little far with this. Perhaps they took her because they thought she was one of us. Maybe it was for an unknown reason. They grow in numbers with each passing year, and they have became a threat to the world of vampires." Oh, I knew what was coming next. Whenever someone was a threat, we ended that threat.

Aro turned to my brother and I. "Alec, Jane sense you know Nickoletta best I want you to lead the Cullen's and the others to the Lessers." He looked in different directions now. "Everyone you know the location of the Lessers. The twins will stall Draco while you terminate every vampire you see exept for the Cullen's. I want them all dead by the time they get Nickoletta out. Understood?"

"Yes Master." We all replied.
