I've added a bit more to chapter 4.


"What do you mean we're going to the Cullen's?" Aro asked.

"Just get Sulpicia, I'll explain on the way!" Esca said angrily. Aro knew he shouldn't mess with her. Not when she was like this.

Aro sighed and nodded. God, how many newborns were their in that army to get Esca so worried?

Just before he got to the door she called after him. "Pack a bag of clothes…each."

Aro nodded, it was an odd request, but then again they'd have to fit in, so they couldn't be wearing the same thing everyday. Plus there wasn't really going to be time for shopping.

"Jeans and t-shirt type thing." Esca added, hearing his thoughts.

He left, Esca barely noticed, how could she not have noticed Caius enter the room, she should have heard him.

Carlisle was now in proper danger his family, Leah and the rest of the wolves were going to kill her.

The only thing they could do was get to the Cullens as fast as possible. They would help protect Carlisle.

But first she would have to sort out the volturi.

With half the guard already gone, her, Aro and Sulpicia about to leave and Caius, Athenodora and the two wives bodyguards leaving as well, the volturi was very small and unprotected.

The only people left were Marcus (who would have to take control-something Esca wasn't sure he could do after his mate Didyme had died) Alec, Afton, Heidi, Renata (she wasn't going to be at all happy about being left behind. Maybe when they got to the Cullens she would send word to her to come. After all, Aro needed a bodyguard if he was to fight and Esca wasn't going to be around him the whole time to do that job, even if she could do Renata's power. She hadn't met anyone who could place themselves in more than one place at a time.) and Corin.

The rest Chelsea, Demetri, Felix, Santiago and Jane were already heading for the Cullens.

Esca sighed, well at least she'd get there before them, after all three vampires got there a lot faster than five, it also helped that Esca, Aro and Sulpicia were bloody fast.

Esca stood up, she was going to have to give Marcus his orders and then she had to pack.

As Esca reached the door another vision came to her. Caius already had over 100 newborns and he wasn't anywhere near stopping!
