Riley's POV
I sighed as I laid in my bed. Why was I born into such a weird family? I had just trained to fight for the past eight hours. I would have gone longer but mom and dad needed to hunt, and they don't trust me and Jasper to train alone. They are afraid he will push me too hard or something.
After I had closed my eyes for two seconds there was a knock at my bedroom door. Jasper poked his head in. I motioned for him to come in. He walked across the large room to my king size bed and sat next to me, saying nothing.
But that was how uncle Jasper was. He didn't need to talk for you to know what he wanted. You could just feel it. I think it has something to do with his powers. He didn't even look at me and I knew that it had happened.
I touched his hand with my fingers and instantly I heard his thoughts. It's happened. They will be here in the morning. Alice is hunting with your mom and dad and telling them.
I nodded my head. I knew this was coming one day. Ever since I was young I just knew I was going to do something of great importance. Alice told me what was going to happen once a few years ago. Jasper, I don't think I'm ready. I confessed. For the first time, I felt a little scared. It is for that reason that I know you are. Riley, you will be the greatest warrior our kind has ever seen.
"But how Uncle Jasper? All I do read peoples thoughts and make them feel better if I touch them. What part of that sounds like a warrior?" Riley. You must trust Alice. You are not fully matured yet. And neither are your powers.
I nodded. We need to train more then. I thought to him. He shook his head. "Your training with me is done. I have taught you all I can. When the Romanians get here they will finish your training. You will have to leave with them Riley."
I sighed. I knew this was coming too. Jasper stood up and walked to the door. Before he left though, he turned around and said, "Riley you will do great things. Be proud of it. You're saving us all."
And then he was gone. Suddenly my shoulders felt heavy. Great. I always wanted to be the one responsible for all immortals survival.

Bella's POV
"No no no. I'm not ready for this. Alice I'm not ready!" I yelled out. I'm not ready for my baby to leave. "Bella it has to happen. You know this as well as I do. I don't like it anymore than you do." Edward said holding me close. "I'm sorry this has to happen like this. Sometimes I truly wish my visions were wrong." Alice said looking down at her feet. The three of us were the only ones in the green woods besides the animals. "Let's go home. I want to spend as much time with him as I can."

Time is a funny thing. As I sit with my son beside me it seems as if time never passed and he was a little baby again. But then I think of what will happen at day break, and my still heart breaks. No matter how much time I was given with Riley, it would still be just as hard to see him leave as it is now.
We would never have enough time. I kissed his forehead yet again. "Mom please! That's gross." He said wiping away my kiss. "Well, if you ever have children you will understand." I said hugging him again.
The whole family was in the living room as we watched the sun come up from the glass wall. "They're here." Alice said standing up. I closed my eyes and hugged my son with my husband. I heard the front door open and the voices of two powerful men.

Alice's POV
I walked up to the door and opened it. There stood Vladimir and Stefan. "Hello Alice. My brother has told me of a warrior?" Vladimir asked in a questioned tone. "Yes. He is right this way. Please come in." I said leading them into the living room.
"This is Carlisle and Esme, Rosalie and Emmett, and Jasper." I said pointing everyone out. "And over here we have Edward and Bella, along with their son Riley." Vladimir walked up to them and eyed Riley.
"So this is the great warrior. You were right Alice. I sense much greatness coming off him. Hello, Riley. I am Vladimir." He said extending his hand. Riley took it. Vladimir stepped back for a short second, surprised that he could hear his thoughts.
"Extraordinary." Vlad said with his eyes wide. "This is the opportunity we have been waiting for Stefan. Our time has finally come." Vladimir released Riley's hand and stepped back.
"This is a great sacrifice you all are making, and I appreciate that." Stefan spoke up for the first time. "Yes, but now it s time to go."
"Already?" Bella asked, her voice a bit shaky. "I'm afraid so. We must go train him and see what his powers can really do. But don't worry. If Alice's vision are right, which they have been so far, you will see him again. Soon." Vladimir said with a smile. Riley stood up. We all said our goodbyes. Then, within two minutes, Riley was gone. The house fell quiet. If my visions are correct, Riley will finish his training in one month. I looked down at my watch. Only 29 days and 23 hours until he comes home.
