Chapter 6

Sniffing the air, the hint of blood, of death, hit me like a brick wall. The room felt like an icebox even to a vampire. No one moved. No one spoke. Everyone kept their full attention to a coiled up mass on the couch in the middle of the room.

The mass was Edwards human Bella. She looked like hell. Shivering, she had someone hold a cup for her to drink. The tall blonde one was the only one close to her. I noticed that Edward had not moved from the door way. Curiosity taking control I walked up to Bella to investigate. I immediately saw what everyone was so focused on. Her stomach.

"She's pregnant?" No one said anything. Edward fidgeted slightly and then nodded his head. Everyone else continued staring.

"YOU got her pregnant?" I roared.

Suddenly Edward fell to the ground and groaned. Carlisle went to his side and tried to comfort him but Edward through his hand away. "No. Show me no pity! I did this to Bella and do not deserve any remorse. I should be killed for being so reckless."

"You're right! You should be killed! Do you have any idea what you have done? What this means? What about the prophecy?" Screaming now I had every ones attention. "You should have changed her when you had a chance! Every vampire in the world is going to be looking for her. Now she is going to die because of your carelessness." Those words set everyone off. The blonde closest to Bella was crouched down ready to attack any one that went near her. The rest of the clan was all in front of her prepared for any movement I was to make towards the human. Aware that Edward was going to want to attack me after threatening his human's life I swiftly dodged him.

I threw my hand at his chest and knocked Edward to the ground. "Wait! I am not the one you need to fight. I am not threatening her. But everyone else will be."

Edward took one of the chairs that was placed around Bella and threw it against the ground. "Don't you think I know that? I know the prophecy! Every monster knows the damn prophecy! But there is nothing I can do! Bella refuses to abort the baby!" He growled.

It didn't surprise me that three huge wolves busted threw the door. I mean, we were making quite a ruckus. Seth, Jacob, and Leah shape shifted right in the middle of the room and began dressing. I tried not to let their presence distract me.

Growing impatient I yelled, "Force her too! The baby will kill Bella. And if someone doesn't kill that baby before its born then someone will later."

"Wait! What? Who wants to kill Bella?" Jacob was standing next to Edward looking at me accusingly. "Don't even try it if you want to live blood sucker!"

Tired of all the nonsense I picked up the vase sitting on the corner table and threw it against the wall. What the hell was wrong with everyone? My vision started going dark and I knew that I needed to calm down before I did something I might regret. I knew that when things started to go dark I would wake up covered in blood and a terrorized room in front of me. Suddenly I felt a light touch on my shoulder. In a moment I gained control of things. I turned and saw Seth looking up at me. I laid my head on the crook of his neck. He brought his lips to my ears whispering, "It's okay. I'm here now." Of course Seth could bring me out of breaking point. Something no one could do. Breathing in his scent I kissed his neck.

Grabbing Seth's hand I turned to look at everyone. "I understand your love and protection towards Bella. But I do not want to harm her. Before Seth, yes. But now that he is my life I think differently. I still know what the prophecy says and think that that should be taken seriously. Or all of our lives are in jeopardy."

"What the hell prophecy is this vamp talking about? I've never heard of any damn prophecy!" Jacob was directing his question to the whole room.

Carlisle crossed the room to stand next to Edward and put his hand on his shoulder. "The prophecy that Felix and Edward are referring to is the prophecy of the hybrid. It was discovered by the Volturi themselves. Back when they lived as nomads, trying to find other vampires like themselves. They were in Egypt and came across the prophecy in an old pyramid. The pyramid encased a king who ruled his people as a tyrant. It is said that he had psychic powers and was given prophecies by the gods. The prophecy said that a powerful child created from different species will bring turmoil to the night dwellers. That this child will hold so much power that nothing can harm it when they come of age and at full control of their powers. Since hearing this prophecy the Volturi have made sure that there is no mixing humans or vampires. That's why they kill humans that know of us. There is no case of it happening and even if there was the mother and baby would have been killed."

Jacob started shaking his head in disagreement. "No! You blood suckers actually believe prophecies? That can't be true. I can't believe you're seriously trying to say that Bella is going to be giving birth to one of the most powerful beings alive."

"No she won't be. Bella won't live through the pregnancy much less the birth. That baby's only way out is her stomach and its going to use their teeth to get out." Bella is too weak to live through the pregnancy and her bones are too fragile to give birth naturally if she does live. This baby was going to be half vampire; it was going to strong and craving blood.

Seth squeezed my hand "Felix, try and show compassion. I understand this prophecy is serious but Bella isn't just some stranger from the street. She is loved and everyone here is going to do everything in their power to make sure she and that baby are safe." He spoke with such love towards her. Towards this family. I knew without a doubt that each had a spot in his heart. Seth was the type of person to stick by the people he cared about and that was a feature I just loved about him. He stuck by me; even though I'm a monster.

I leaned down and kissed him on the forehead, "Okay." Walking up to Edward I put my hand towards his and said, "You have my word that I will not harm Bella and that I will do what I can to help."

Edward hesitated for a moment. I knew he was thinking if he could trust me or not. I mean, I have been the guard for the Volturi for centuries. But finally he grabbed my hand and shook it, "Okay. I'll take a chance on you."

I had earned the trust of the Cullen family. Seth was thrilled with the new alliance. I was happy to make him happy. Edward and Seth were close, this everyone knew. Seth did not look at vampires the same way his fellow wolf friends did. This is what made him so special. The room began to be filled with conversations.

Suddenly, pain brought me to the ground. It was excruciating pain all over my body. It felt like my bones and muscles had something ripping through them. My body was in a spasm and I had no control. Seth dropped to his knees screaming for someone to help me. I couldn't talk to him to tell him what was wrong. Then as quickly as the pain had come it was gone. I lay their just staring at the ceiling while Seth tried to get my attention.

Something is coming, I thought.
