Chapter 10

Rose POV

I wasn't sure what to make of Jasper's expression or the conversation I just had with the volturi for that matter. I was worried about taking those requests for destroying 'evil' vampires and going after them with only the information given by the volturi. It didn't seem like it would be a fair way to choose my targets. What's to say that they wouldn't give me a target base solely on the fact they wanted them eliminated. I needed some outside advice and I knew exactly who I needed to talk to about all this. She probably already knew and would expect me to call.

"Jazz do you have your phone on you?" I asked and he nodded, handing it to me. I dialed the familiar number and waited for someone to answer. Olena answered in Russian and I smiled, hearing her voice.

"Olena, It's Rose." I said and she switched to English.

"Oh, hello Rose. I have missed you so much. You have to bring Dimitri here soon. I miss my son so much." She said and I smiled.

"I will get him to see you as soon as possible. I actually called to speak to Yeva. Is she around?" I asked.

"Yes dear, hold on a minute dear." She said and I heard her speak rapidly in Russian before there was a shuffling on the end of the line.

"Hello granddaughter, I have been expecting that you would call me soon." She stated.

"Yeva I don't know what to do. I have been tasked with a very difficult job and I wondered if I could get some advice from a crafty old bat?" I said and she outright laughed. She hated me at first but it seemed that I had grown on her and she could really dish out the sarcasm just as much as I could.

"Follow your heart granddaughter. Your job is important and you need to gather strong fighters to assist you. There are several that have experience in battle and you will need their help to accomplish your tasks. The Major and the Captain will help you tremendously. The brothers are trustworthy, but you must be careful." She stated and I had no idea what she meant by Major and Captain but I was still more concerned about the brothers. "The brothers will not lead you astray, but be wary for there are traitors amongst their house." She finished. That was Yeva, cryptic as ever.

"Thank you Yeva. You have given me a lot to think over. I hope to visit you all very soon and Dimitri and I both miss you all very much. Dimitri isn't here right now of course but he and I both send our love." I told her.

"I know dear. I have to go now and you have much left to learn before you start your journey. Be careful child and follow your heart." She said and we said our goodbyes. I handed the phone back to Jasper and there was a haunted look in his eyes.

"What's wrong Jazz?" I asked.

"Did I hear her say something about Major and Captain or was I hearing things?" He asked seriously and I nodded. He sighed like he was mulling something over in his thoughts. Just as he was about to say something, I heard movement and whirled towards the sounds. There were two figures running towards us from the Cullen house and I stood at the ready to defend myself if needed. As the figures cleared the trees I recognized them as a mated pair that stayed for the confrontation. They were friends of Jasper so the tense stance I held relaxed. Peter smiled and looked towards me as his mate stayed slightly behind him.

"I thought that you guys would need my assistance so here I am." He said and I stood there in shock for a minute. Jasper just laughed and clapped a hand on his shoulder.

"Damn Yeva and her cryptic answers." I muttered and they all laughed.

"Rose did you know who the Major and the Captain are?" Peter asked smiling. I shook my head. It did sound familiar but I couldn't place it.

"Rose you need to know that there are things that you do not know about our kind. I know that you have enough knowledge to make a judgment as to whether they are evil, but there are some that are the cruelest of them all. Peter and I fought together in the newborn wars in the south. I was the youngest Major in the Texas army. When I was changed, Peter became my second in command, my Captain." My eyes widened a little and I caught up with what he was trying to tell me. Jasper was the Major and Peter was the Captain.

"Why is it that my life gets harder just as I expect it to calm down for a little while?" I asked to no one in particular and I groaned in frustration. "More importantly right now, you two are supposed to be a big help but I don't really know what I'm doing here. Aside from that, Yeva just told me that there is a traitor in the Volturi guard although I don't know who." I sighed in frustration and exhaustion.

"So you two are the Major and the Captain?" The nodded smiling and I felt like an idiot for not noticing it sooner.

"Rose relax, we will help you through this. You still have some major training to go through and that may give us some time to figure out who the traitor is within the volturi." Jasper said calmly and I nodded.

"Alright, let's get back to the house since everyone is probably worrying themselves like crazy." I said and they nodded in agreement. We ran at vampire or wolf speed back to the house and the others were waiting as I thought. I blocked my thoughts immediately so as not to give anything away to our resident mind reader. I almost laughed at the downcast face Edward was giving me but I held it in. Most of the other clans or covens had left and it was just the Cullens, the Denali's and Peter and Charlotte. Alice looked like she might have see something in one of her visions and I had to know what she saw.

"Alice what did you see?" She looked up and smiled at me.

"Visitors are coming to see you in…three, two, one." She stated and sure enough there was a knock at the door and I rushed to open it and I was thrilled to see Liss, Christian, Eddie, Dimitri, Adrian and Mia all standing there with wide smiles. Dimitri's smile fell as his eyes landed on Peter and Charlotte behind me and he started to reach for his stake, but I stopped him.

"Don't Dimitri. They won't harm any of you and they aren't Strigoi. Now get your asses in here and give me a hug." I said and I heard snickers both inside and outside the door before I was lifted in the air and spun by Dimitri. I squealed in surprise but was cut off as he stopped spinning me and kissed me hard on the lips, cutting off my nonexistent protest. I heard the others laughing and Dimitri finally set me back on the floor. I hugged him tightly and smiled wider than I had in the time I have been here. I looked up and kissed him long and hard again before coming up for a needed breath. I sighed and looked in his eyes. "I missed you so much and I love you." He smiled at me.

"I missed you too my Roza." He said and I heard a throat clearing and turned to see Christian with a wide sardonic smirk and I groaned.

"What are we Rosie, Chopped liver? Did you not miss us at all?" I growled at the Rosie reference and I heard several of the Cullens mutter 'uh-oh'. I smiled sweetly

"Leave it to Pyro to make my life hell whenever he is around. Hey Em, go out back and set up a few targets will ya? I need to teach pyro here if he can't play with the big dogs that he needs to stay on the porch." I said smiling and Em Guffawed as he ran outside to do as I asked. Christian looked in confusion and I shrugged.

"What are you doing Rose?" Lissa asked and I smiled.

"Let's just say that he isn't the only one with fire power anymore." I said cryptically and their eyes widened. "So what do you say Chrissy, care to play a little targets? I bet that I can wipe the floor with you." I said and his smirk returned as I knew it would. Chrissy couldn't resist a bet.

"When I win, what do I get?" He smirked wider and the others smiled. The Cullens and Denali didn't know how much talent he had and the others didn't know about my power either so they were all anxious to see who would win.

"What do you want IF you win, and that is a huge IF?" I said. "I won't call you Christina or Chrissy if you win. Pyro is still game cause we all know you secretly like it." He nodded. "If I win, you never call me Rosie ever again. Rosemarie is out too for good measure." He agreed to the terms and we all walked outside with the greetings and introductions temporarily put on hold.

"Okay we are doing this by time and accuracy. Fastest time and the most hits wins." Emmet stated and we nodded. "Visitors go first." He stood on the mark and looked over the back yard at the targets placed at various distances. There were four targets placed at thirty, fifty, seventy five and one hundred yards and Emmet held the stopwatch. Em gave the signal and one at a time, Christian hit all the targets dead center but he took too long. Christian smirked thinking that he had won.

"Em, replace the targets and give Christina's time." Christian scowled at me and I shrugged. Hey you haven't won yet Chrissy."

"Thirteen point four seconds Rose." Em said and I smiled. Oh this will be so easy. I took my mark and Em gave the signal I shot four balls of fire simultaneously, hitting each target with the same dead center accuracy Christian did, but in much less time.

"Time, Emmet?" I questioned with a smile and he looked at the watch and his eyes widened. He smiled triumphantly and looked at me.

"Seven point two seconds. Rose." He said and I smirked at Christian who had his mouth gaping open while the others stood in shock. I walked over to the others and passed right by Christian, pushing his chin and closing his mouth.

"Better close that Chrissy, you'll attract flies." I told him while the others laughed and I walked back inside the house. That was way too much fun, but I could get used to a speechless Chrissy.

The others finally came back inside and snapped out of their shock. Dimitri sat beside me and pulled me into his lap and I melted into him. Introductions were made to the Denali and Peter and Charlotte. Jake came in with Ness and Emmet bragged about my 'mad skills'. I tried to use my mind reading capabilities before anyone told them I was able. So I figured that it was the perfect time for truth or dare.

"Hey guys let's play a game?" I said. Carmen and Eleazar along with the other Denali clan went to hunt. Carlisle went to work and Esme went to her study. Charlotte went to hunt too and so it was us 'kids' and Peter and Dimitri. We played that until we got bored and I initiated a game of bullshit which I won. Edward came in second and I only beat him 'cause he couldn't read my mind or facial expressions. The Cullens were dying laughing while the others complained that I had somehow cheated. I finally broke down and told them I could read thoughts whenever I wanted. I think they took it pretty well and I was happy to have some down time from training and constant expectations of danger. For now things were calm but I knew it wouldn't last long at all.

Please R&R. I would also like to hear thoughts on who the Volturi traitor is. Thanks everyone.
