AN: Hey guys, it seems that once I got going I just couldn't stop, so I decided to write one more chap before I crash into the world of sleep and dreams.
But first i would like to say a HUGE thankyou to NevaSayNeva2, for being my first ever reviewer, and for that I will love you forever ^_^
Anyway, this chap's a little longer but hopefully a little more exciting. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: In the five hours since i last wrote a disclaimer, I have (unfortunately) not managed to come up with some kind of genius plot to steal the rights to Twilight, so they do currently belong to Stephanie Meyer -.-

CHAPTER 2

SETH POV

"They're Coming."

Seth would never have imagined that two such simple words could have such a profound effect. As soon as they had left Edward's mouth it seemed as if the entire world stood still. Fear, the like of which he had never felt before coursed through his veins and his mind became numb with terror.

'This is it,' he thought. 'It's actually happening.'

He dimly registered the same thought running through the minds of both Jacob and Leah and he subconsciously moved closer to his sister, somewhat surprised when she did not flinch from his touch or push him away.

Everyone, both in the clearing and hidden among the trees had gone completely silent. The only sounds were the bird-like heartbeats of Renesmee and the slower, deeper heartbeats of the wolves. Even the birds and insects were gone, scared into hiding by the unnatural scent of the vampires.

Gradually, over the unusually loud sound of his own heartbeat, Seth became aware of another noise, like the rustling of leaves. A few moments later the rest of the pack noticed it too and although they could not see into the clearing through the thickness of the trees, all heads turned in the direction that they knew the Volturi were coming from.

As the noise gradually grew in volume, Seth forced his fear to the back of his mind, to be dealt with later, and joined his consciousness with Jacob's so that he could see what was going on.

The situation in the clearing was much the same as it was in the forest. Everyone had gone still and silent and all eyes were turned in the same direction, towards the noise. Seth could feel Jacob's fear for Nessie growing as the Volturi neared and he quickly sent reassuring thoughts his way, before his friend and brother did something he would regret.

'Don't worry about it Jake, I'm sure everyone is just overreacting. I mean, the Volturi can't be that bad, can they? And even if they are, they won't be able to lay a finger on Nessie, not with all of these witnesses.'

Jacob scoffed at Seth's attempt to placate him. 'God Seth, you're so naïve. You really think that all vampires are like the Cullen's? These bloodsuckers aren't going to stop. We have something they want, and from what I've heard, nothing is going to stop them from getting it. We could have a thousand witnesses and it still wouldn't make a difference. They won't be able to talk when they're dead.'

Seth decided to make a last-ditch attempt at cheering up his brother, 'Pffft, there's no way these vampires can be any worse than the Cullen's. What, with Edward knowing every thought you think and having unwanted conversations with you about your feelings.' Here Edward looked over and scowled at Jacob, who had growled in badly suppressed mirth.

Pleased with his success, Seth continued, "And I bet no one in the Volturi would try and feed you from a dog bowl like Rose, or pick a fight with everything that moves, like Emmet.' Noticing that not only Jacob, but Edward and Leah were listening to him now, Seth kept going, 'They wouldn't have a Carlisle to bandage you up whenever you get a wound as superficial as a paper cut, or a Jasper to influence your moods. And they definitely wouldn't have an Esme to worry about whether you're getting enough food or an Alice to get angry at you for blocking her visions of the future.' He finished his speech with a fond chuckle for the strange quirks of his vampire friends.

Jacob and Edward were also laughing, which was earning them quite a few strange looks from the other occupants of the clearing, while Leah just huffed in disgust and exasperation at her brother's obvious closeness to the vampires. However, she didn't move to sever the contact between them, for which Seth was incredibly grateful.

'Thanks Seth,' Thought Jacob as his laughter subsided. 'Sorry about snapping at you before, I'm just a bit stressed out.'

'Don't mention it, I-'

Seth's reply was cut off as his attention was snatched by a disturbance in the trees opposite Jacob and the Cullen's.

Slowly, as if they were in no hurry, figures in dark robes began appearing from among the trees. They moved silently and with purpose, fanning out into a long line that stretched the length of the entire clearing. As more of them continued to emerge from the trees, Seth found himself overwhelmed at the enormity of their numbers, his fear mounting as it seemed that they would never stop coming, that they had an infinite number of troops at their disposal.

The dark figures walked towards the Cullen's with a sense of great purpose, the line never slowing or wavering in the slightest. As their numbers continued to mount, Seth found himself almost overwhelmed with fear.

'They're not going to stop.' He thought, 'They're not going to listen to reason. Jacob was right, they're going to keep on coming and they are going to kill us all…'

Sorry about the (kind of) cliffhanger, I will update again as soon as I have slept...
And tomorrow is the last day of term, so I will have a whole two weeks of no homework where I can write, write, write!
Please Review!
