As soon as Jasper had parked the car, Alice was out and headed to find Carlisle. Soon enough they did. He was in stitching up a little boy.

"Carlisle, we need to talk" Jasper said backing away from the little boy. When he arms started to shake, Alice grabbed hold of him and gave him a worried glance.

"I'm fine" He hissed. Carlisle looked at them.

"Give me one minute, go to my office and I'll be there soon" Carlisle finished stitching up a wound on a little boy's arm, and sealed it. Jasper was already at the door. Alice wasn't far behind him. They reached his office and opened the door. Edward, Bella, Emmett, Rose, and Esme, were there as well. Alice turned to face Edward. He swiftly read her vision, and gasped.

"But why would they send her here, of all places?" his voice was the only noise in the room.

"I don't have an answer yet." Alice looked at him and they exchanged worried glances. As they did, Carlisle walked through the door. He closed the door behind him.

"Alice. Please tell me what happened." Carlisle said and took a seat at his desk. The chairs surrounding his desk were filled with the rest of the Cullens. Everyone was silent as Alice explained her latest vision. After she was done, all eyes were glued to Carlisle. It was silent for a minute until Jasper broke the silence.

"What do you think we should do Carlisle?" He asked looking over at the vampire. Everyone listened for what Carlisle would say.

"The only thing we really can do is wait and see what happens. As you all know, the future isn't set in stone and the Volturi may change their minds, but unfortunately I don't think they will. If the female does come here, she will be brought by the Volturi and they will tell us what they want of us. Until then we wait." Carlisle looked over to Alice."How long until they will be here Alice?" he asked

"About a week, if they don't change their minds. Just like you said, I don't think that they'll change their minds either." She said looking worried. As if reading everyone's mind, Carlisle reassured them

"No need to worry, they will come, they will explain and we can move on from there. I have to get back to work. We can discuss this more when I get home." Carlisle stood, as well as everyone else. In pairs everyone left to go back to what they were doing. They all had things to think about but mostly about the newcomer heading their way. They had no idea what was going to happen, all of them were anxious to know what was to come.

Volterra, Italy

"Do you know what you did?" Marcus hissed in Rayne's ear. He was circling her like a cat with a mouse.

"Yes, I have a pretty good idea" Rayne hissed back.

She felt even more pain, as Jane brought her to her knees. Rayne didn't say a word, just glared at Marcus with pure hatred on her face.

"Come now Marcus, don't be too harsh on her" They both shot glances at Aro who was sitting on one of the wooded thrones. Caius sat next to him, looking rather bored. Rayne looked at her sire, Aro looked back.

"This is your problem Rayne" he said. There was really no need after all.

"Yes this is your problem Rayne" Marcus spat her name out like it was venom in his mouth.

"It was all that girl's fault. If you want someone to blame, blame her." Rayne's eyes were glued to Marcus as he circled her.

"But I can't, she wasn't the one who let their temper get the best of them, she's dead now." Marcus grabbed Rayne's face, forcing her to look him in the eye.

"What do you think we should do now, we've given her every punishment we've thought of for other offences" He said still looking at Rayne, but not really talking to anyone in particular.

"But you won't let me kill her." Marcus said glancing at Aro.

"No I won't" Aro said. Marcus turned his attention back to Rayne. Then an idea came to him, and as he thought of it Rayne looked at him with a bewildered look.

"You can't be serious, you can't send me there." She hissed. The thought made her sick, plus the fact that she would have to leave Demetri. The thought made her even more furious. She wasn't about to leave her mate. " I will not be stuck with them for who knows how long. There's no way in hell" Rayne glared at Marcus again.

"Yes I think it's a wonderful idea." He stood up and looked at Aro and Caius. "We will send her to the Cullens, and see if she can cope with their…diet" he smiled a toothy grin. He snapped his fingers and Demetri and Felix walked into the room.

"I want you both and some of the guard to take Rayne to the Cullens along with a message." He snapped his fingers again, and a man came in with a pen and paper. He quickly wrote a message put it in an envelope and sealed in with the Volturi seal, as he did this Rayne looked at her mate with wide eyes. Demetri looked back for a moment then focused on Marcus.

"Take this to the Cullens when you go." Marcus said handing Demetri the letter." Give it to Carlisle, and tell him to reply. Don't leave until he has agreed to the contents of the letter." Demetri and Felix both nodded. Felix went and grabbed Rayne. As soon as Jane stopped her torture, Rayne tried to escape. Jane looked at Marcus, and Aro. Marcus nodded and Aro rolled his eyes. Jane went back to her torture of Rayne.

"I think you may want to take Jane with you" Marcus said. They got Rayne under control and left. Jane was the last out of the room. When they left and the door was closed, Aro looked at Marcus.

"Do you honestly think this will work?" Aro asked him.

"It's the closest I have to trying to kill her." Marcus looked rather crossly at Aro.

"You're right; I won't let you kill her." Aro said. Without another word he got up and left leaving both Caius and Marcus.
