I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT OR ANY OF ITS CHARACTERS!!! Just a reminder, the narrator has switched to Diana, and sorry I have not updated in like two months. In case you forgot, the Cullens got attacked by the Volturi and Felix was killed by Diana. Now they have fled to Russia ..I was bored ok lol?..REVIEWS!!!

"Diana!"

Bright sunlight flooded my eyes as I turned to the voice. The man the voice belonged to turned fully to look back at me.

Seth.

His skin was gold color, and his posture was stiff as a statue. The only recognizable part of him were his eyes. Dark brown with amethyst flicks and filled with desperation.

He took me in his arms and embraced me tightly. I inhaled his woodsy scent and opened my mouth to speak. He put a finger on my lips.

"Diana don't worry. I'll always lo-" I didn't hear the last part of what he said.

My legs were suddenly dragged under me, as I was pulled away from him, my face scraping against the cool stone floor. I clawed at the invisible force and screamed for help. Oddly the screams did not sound like mine. Then something wrapped itself around my neck and squeezed. I struggled and thrashed against the floor as red flecks appeared in my vision. Using the last of my breath, I tried to choke out a call for help and strained my neck towards the spot where Seth was no longer.

Then everything went black.

I woke up with a scream and glanced around my bedroom.

Weak light filtered through the window onto the peach colored walls.

I'd had enough of these bad dreams.

A warm, bulky form curled next to me, nestled under the daisy-printed comforter. I flung the covers back and glared at the sleeping form of my pet deer.

"Your a full grown deer and your still sleeping in my bed?" Romo opened one eye at me and snorted. I nudged him over as started making the bed. I could hear the sound of banging pots and the smell of pancakes was wafting in the room.

Abandoning my task, I ran downstairs into the kitchen. "Good morning Princess," murmured my Dad. "Don't forget the rest of the clan is coming to visit today."

I smiled in greeting and pulled out a chair and sat down at the table.

Seth stood at the stove flipping pancakes,humming and smiling to himself. I grimaced and quickly ran down the hall to the bathroom. I combed my fingers through my hair and gargled some mouthwash.

I needed to look somewhat presentable if I were going to get Seth to notice me.

I ran back to the kitchen, sitting down discreetly, hoping Seth had not noticed my disheveled appearance earlier.

"Here you go, specialty cinnamon pancakes," smiled Seth as he set the warm china plate down in front of me. "I should start charging you for all the food I cook, I spend half my life here."

"It's not my fault my mom can't cook," I grumbled back as I stabbed a pancake and bit into it.

"You didn't seem to dislike my cooking when you were smaller," called my mother from upstairs. "In fact, I think you enjoyed it."

"That's because I didn't know what real cooking tasted like-," my mother hissed angrily in reply. We laughed quietly as I finished my breakfast. I glanced at the clock and grabbed my bag my the door.

"Hey, Seth can I get a ride to school?" I yelled from the foyer. As if he knew what I was going to ask, Seth was already shrugging on his coat and he jingled his keys around his finger impatiently.

"Leeches-- always want something from you," he teased. I punched him in the arm and ran to the garage. I slipped on the helmet and sucked in a deep breath.

I was terrified of riding his motorcycle, but if it gave me more time with him away from my parents I could bear it.

Seth slung his leg over the bike and motioned for me to get on. I hesitated for a moment and gulped. Pulling my scarf around my face, I got on the bike and wrapped my arms around him. His body heat reverberated through his jacket and I inhaled his woodsy scent. Definitely worth it.

The ride to school was too short. I snuggled closer to Seth as we rode by the snow covered country, and his body relaxed in response. I squeezed my eyes shut and tried to imprint this moment in my memory. We soon fell into a peaceful rhythm only broken by the sound of the motorcycle engine. Now was the perfect time to tell him how I felt.

"Seth, I--" Suddenly, something large and dark rammed into the side of the bike, sending Seth and I flying in opposite directions. I landed hard onto a snow embankment, and tasted blood in my mouth.

For a few seconds I laid there in the cold snow, while the sounds of growls and a familiar scent wafted in the air. A shadow moved over me, interrupting my temporary deja vu moment. I blinked furiously at the figure standing above me and was suddenly staring at the familiar, childlike face of Jane.

"Alec, forget the shape shifter, we've got what we came for," Jane sneered.

She grabbed me by my long blond hair and dragged me towards Alec. Arms flailing, I reached for one of her legs and bite down, hoping my venom would give Seth and I enough time to escape.

Jane screeched in pain and collapsed on the ground, writhing. I turned, my eyes wildly searching for Seth; and saw him where he lay, almost twenty yards away. I heard Alec hiss behind me and tried to move away, but he was too swift.

He grabbed me by my throat and pinned me against a nearby tree. I struggled against his hold, my legs dangling uselessly in the air. My lungs burned as Alec squeezed the air out of them. I knew I wouldn't die, but I was more than uncomfortable.

"We should lay out some ground rules hybrid, touch my sister again and I won't spare you. Be glad Aro so desperately wants you alive," Alec hissed. As if to emphasize his threat, Alec bit into my right hand. Blood dripped from my hand onto the white snow, while I screamed as the venom rushed up my arm like a wildfire.

Alec cackled as he tightened his grip on my neck. I gasped for air, my body thrashing in pain. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Seth phase into his wolf form and charge at Alec. Sensing his attack, Alec dropped me on the ground and swung out of Seth's range.

I lay on the ground again, paralyzed by my pain. Vision blurring, I watched as the large gray wolf circled Alec before moving in front of me protectively.

Snarling, Seth again charged Alec, this time ripping off Alec's left arm. Alec used his other arm to rip into Seth's back and blood began to soak his fur.

A movement behind Seth caught my eye. Jane was creeping up behind him. I knew there was no way Seth could take them both at the same time.

Somehow finding the strength to move, I stalked her silently and waited for an opportune moment.

My legs trembled as I leaped onto her back, taking advantage of her surprise, I ripped Jane into as many pieces as I could. Jane's shreds trembled on the ground, and she began piecing herself together.

It began to snow again as I stood still for a moment, until exhaustion seeped in my body again and I collapsed on the ground. My eyes closed slowly and I lost consciousness as the sounds of Seth and Alec's fighting grew faint as well.

When I woke up, the scent of antiseptic burned in my nose. I blinked and stared up at the concerned faces of my grandparents.

"She should be fine Rosalie, most of the venom is out her system already and her fractures will heal just as quickly," Carlisle said in a soothing voice as he worked over me.

The face of my mother moved into my view and she stared down, worrying about me as usual. I tried to smile to reassure her, but ended up wincing in pain. I searched my face with my hands, feeling thick gauze on my temple.

"How did I escape? Where's Seth?!" My breath came out in a panicked gasp. Jane said they only needed me. What if they'd killed Seth? The pain of this thought felt like a cannonball being shot through my stomach.

"Calm down leech-girl, I'm safe," answered Seth. I craned my head towards his voice. He was sitting on the blue sofa opposite mine, looking just as banged as me. I breathed in a sigh of relief.

"How did we get away? I don't rememb--"

"I decided kicking Alec's ass would be too good a chance to pass up, but your safety was more important. I grabbed you and managed to get here. Alec probably smelled all the vampires and got scared,"grinned Seth.

"Well now it looks like you have to move again Emmett," grumbled Uncle Jasper in the corner. He glared at me, clearly blaming me for this latest turn of events.

I knew he hated everything about me. My very existence seemed to piss him off. Grumpy old fart.

I saw the corners of Uncle Edwards lips twitch as he tried to hold back a grin. Probably reading my thoughts- I paled as I wondered if he read my thoughts about Seth. A low chuckle escaped his lips. Yeah, he heard those thoughts too.

"I am tired of hiding like an animal, we should fight the Volturi once and for all," hissed Jasper. Aunt Alice squeezed his arms, eyes darting between Rosalie and Carlisle.

"And what if we do?! You risk not only your life but Diana's!" my mother hissed back. She looked down at the floor, caught in her own pain. "We've been safe here for so long. They Volturi came near but never found us--"

"I think I know why," murmured Alice. "What if they were just waiting for Diana to grow up and catch us off guard? I couldn't see their plans before but I'm sure now. The Volturi have known where you are all this time, they have simply been waiting. Aro will wait for the rest of us with exceptional abilities, but he wants Diana now. Somehow he plans to use her as bait for the rest of us—but I can't see how or when they get her. But I do know we need to get her somewhere safe now, or all of us will perish."

Alice reached over and patted my arm. I blinked up at my aunt.

Up until now she had always had a firm anti-Diana stance like Jasper, hearing her concerned about my safety was nice, even if she had different motives. I wasn't the only one surprised.

Jasper opened his mouth to object but she cut him off. Placing a finger on his lips she murmured, "Hush love. Let's talk about this in private." She tugged him by his arm, and up the stairs.

I looked around at the rest of my clan. I knew my parents were torn by their love of me and their family. My very presence put them in danger. Seth was in danger. Suddenly, I knew what I had to do.

The Volturi would not need to come for me---I would come for them.

REVIEWS!!! If you're wondering why Diana didn't use her power, it's because of the cold and the damage Alec did to her throat. Something similar to that will happen again in Volterra and that's all I'm saying about the next chapter.
