I could slowly feel my body calming down. I was regaining my pre-battle control over it, and I felt the corners of my mouth tilting up. Here I was, the old, fierce Jane, ready to fight. We all got into a formation. Carlisle in the front, Edward and Jasper at his sides, and the rest of the family with me, in the third row. Behind us stood three more rows of vampires, and behind them were the thirty or so wolves. They were all in wolf form, aligned in a semi circle, with Jacob and Sam as the tips, closest to the front. Everyone was silent. The only sounds within a three mile radius were the breaths of the wolves surrounding us.

Light footsteps could suddenly be heard from a distance. The wolves stopped breathing, and I could feel everyone around me tense up. None of us knew how this confrontation would end, and we were all nervous. The footsteps gradually became louder and louder until Aro stepped out from the trees on the other side of the clearing. As he continued walking, various members of the Volturi were revealed from inside the woods. One by one, Marcus, Caius, Felix, Demetri, Chelsea, the wives, and of course - Alec. I clenched my fists as our gazes met, and the remainder of the Volturi guard entered the clearing.

Aro was laughing, his eyes scanning Alec's expression, as well as mine. "This little sibling rivalry is going to be interesting, eh?" His eyes landed on mine and froze. "Hello Jane," He said in a sinister voice, "I have missed you darling. You must know the disappointment that overcame me when Alec returned... alone."

I snarled, "Don't make me embarrass you in front of your whole coven again Aro."

Aro clicked his tongue disapprovingly. "Now Jane, there is no need for that. I just want to... talk."

"Then talk." Carlisle spoke up, "What is your purpose Aro?"

Aro's smile returned, "Carlisle, my dear old friend. How are you? I see that your granddaughter has grown into a lovely creature."

It was now Edward's time to snarl. "You didn't touch her last time, and you will not touch her now." Off to the right, Jacob growled in agreement.

"Oh, I mean no harm to the little one." Aro said, "Although Caius thinks differently, don't you Caius?"

Caius grinned, "Hello Nessie." His cruel voice rang out loudly throughout the clearing. "Miss me?"

"No!" Renesmee shouted out bravely, as Bella hushed her, and protectively put her arms around her daughter's shoulders.

Caius chuckled as Carlisle spoke once again, "Your point, Aro?"

"Patience Carlisle, is a useful trait to develop." Aro said smoothly, "Since you clearly have not matured your patience yet however, I will get on with it. Now, I will make it simple. Jane, rejoin us, or we will destroy you, and your whole army. We will have no mercy."

"And what makes you think you will be able to destroy any of us?" I retorted. I could feel a hint of evil glimmer in my eyes. I unclenched my fists. I was now totally back under control. "I'd like to see you try."

Aro nodded at Alec, "Now."

Alec was frowning however. "I can't," he said.

I stared at him as Aro snarled, "You can't?"

"It-it's not working." My brother stuttered.

Aro lifted a fist, and was about to strike Alec, when I yelled, "Stop!"

Aro paused, "What do you want, Jane?"

I directed my gaze to Alec, "Step forward."

Alec began to step forward cautiously as I myself began to walk. We met halfway and stopped when we were 3 meters apart. I eyed him carefully, and took in his scent. It was a familiar scent, but I knew it wasn't his.

"You aren't my brother, are you?"

Alec... or the fake Alec smirked, "Took you long enough didn't it?"

I finally recognized the scent, "Mason."

I blinked, and when my eyes reopened, there he was. Mason, the vampire from that hunting trip. The one who disappeared when I found Alec. The one I could smell at the mall the other day, but couldn't find. It was him all along.

"Where. Is. My. Brother." I snarled. I could feel rage building up in my eyes, and I knew if I let it out, everyone in the forest would be down on their backs. Behind me, Bella sensed my anger and began to project her shield out. Once I felt the shield engulf me, I released my power. Everyone in front of me suddenly dropped to the ground, writhing in pain. Screams and shrieks could be heard from miles away. When I finally regained composure, I let everyone free from my wrath, but everyone's bodies were too shocked to get up. I stood over Mason's still body. "I repeat. Where. Is. My. Brother."

"Died didn't he?" Mason smiled, "Destroyed him didn't I? You might be able to find his ashes in this forest."

Maggie, from the Irish coven whispered shakily, "He isn't lying."

My head dropped, and I couldn't move a single muscle. Some vampires questioned whether Maggie's power was legitimate, but judging from her past conclusions, I trusted her. My twin brother, my other half... was dead? I couldn't believe it. I had always thought that if anything happened to either of us, the other twin would feel it. I thought we had a sort of psychological, telepathic connection. I guess I was wrong about that.

I looked back up, and saw that Aro was shakily back up on his feet. His eyes were bright and I knew what he was thinking. Mason seemed to have an interesting, uncommon, one-of-a-kind power that would look great as part of Aro's vast collection.

"Mason," He said smoothly, "May I politely ask what exactly your power is?"

Mason looked back at Aro, "I can take the form of any vampire I know. My body will mimic theirs exactly, as will my voice. I cannot disguise my scent, eye colour or power however."

"Interesting," Aro smiled, "Welcome." And with that, I knew Aro had added Mason to his collection. Over several centuries, I was the only soul who dared to thwart Aro and run away.

"Mason." I said, "It is now my turn for questions. Why have you done this to me?"

Mason turned back to me. "You destroyed my family. My parents and my wife. In return, I destroyed the only family you have, your brother. I then went to the Volturi in hopes that they would destroy you, after I realized that you had left them."

I just stared. I knew I had obviously made enemies in the past, with all the things I had done. I had broken apart families, torn apart loved ones in front of one another, and performed other various disgusting acts. I never thought of what they would do to me however, and I was now paying back for all the things I had done. Mason was right. Alec was my only family, the only soul that I cared about, and he took that away from me.

"You now want to destroy me?" I said slowly, "I'm not going to let that happen."

Mason sneered, "I don't think you have a choice, the whole Volturi is here, against you."

"Everyone halt." Marcus spoke up for the first time in this confrontation. The boredom was evident in his voice. "Mason, you used us and led us here to do your own dirty work. We do not respect that here in the Volturi."

"Yes Marcus, that is correct," Caius continued, and nodded at Felix.

Felix grinned, and pounced on Mason. After a couple of rips and tears, Demetri stepped up to start a fire, and Mason was gone.

No one spoke. What was going to happen now?

"I am angry." Aro broke the silence. "Very angry." And with that, he began to run towards us, hisses breaking out from his throat, followed by the rest of the guard.

We all stood there, ready for the attack. Here we go.
