"We're out of time," Alice breathed out as both she and Jasper sped towards their destination. He could feel her worry and anxiety; it only added to his. They had hoped to stop by Tokyo, but it would seem that it would not be an option, now. According to Alice's vision only hours before, the Volturi were close to closing in on their family.

His hand reached out to hers, taking the smaller one and giving it a firm squeeze of support. "No matter what happens, I love you." He sent a strong wave of love and affection towards her and he could feel it reflected back towards him. No matter what happened, both were happy and content with the time they had spent together.

Bella could feel the tension surrounding her, almost suffocating her in its vast thickness. Her eyes were wide as she stared at the mass that the Volturi had brought along with them. Her family didn't have a chance. Even if they could neutralize the Volturi's advantages, the mere number of vampires on the apposing side would be too much. Though Seth was fast, he wasn't that fast.

Fear gripped her heart for a moment only to be replaced by determination. She would not let her daughter be slaughtered, even if it meant sacrificing her own life. In that instant, she was thankful for Edward's inability to read her mind. That thought would not have helped him deal with the situation.

Bella felt Seth move closer, lingering protectively around Renesmee. Jacob was beside him, glaring through big brown wolf eyes at the large group of vampires. Behind them were many other wolves of various sizes, some of who Bella had not recognized; it appeared that Sam had been busy recruiting for the fight.

In a way, Bella was thankful, but then again, the thought of so many young ones dying broke her heart. She wished with everything in her being that fighting would not have to be an option. From the looks on the Volturi's face, that would be an impossibility.

Her golden eyes flickered back towards several of the unknown wolves. Their paws were too large for their bodies, meaning they were young, too young. By joining in the fight, Sam was risking the lives of so many. Even if he only brought the older, stronger, and more experienced fighters, the Volturi would hunt down the rest, or enslave them.

Aro was known for his collections. Suddenly, the hopelessness that Bella felt was being replaced by rage. It felt like fire was alight inside her veins, fueling her anger and feeding her survival instinct into new heights.

Many of the witness' that had been brought were leaning towards the Cullen's gathering. All eyes were focused solely on Renesmee and Bella. Only a few would dart towards the rest of the vampires that had gathered in the Cullen's defense; however, they quickly turned their suffocating gaze on mother and child.

Edward's demeanor suddenly changed. His eyes were unsure as his breathing changed to a slightly increased rate. Bella was instantly alarmed and sent a worried look towards her husband. Carlisle also noticed the change and stepped forward, inquiring as to his response.

"They're not sure how to react. They've never been outnumbered before so they are taking extra caution," Edward whispered lowly as his eyes continued to focus on Aro. "They are picking out key targets and deciding on how to proceed."

"How can they be outnumbered?" Tanya, one of the ones who came to witness, questioned in surprise.

"They don't count the witness'," Carlisle supplied as his eyes filled with realization. Edward nodded without sparing his father figure the slightest of glances. He couldn't afford to tear his eyes or attention away from the deadly trio and their guards. To do so could mean certain death.

"Why bring them then?" Bella felt herself questioning Edward.

"Aro enjoys an audience," Again, Carlisle supplied the answer. He did know Aro the best out of the Cullen family. Disgust filled Bella as she unconsciously clung tighter to her precious daughter.

"Should I speak now?" Carlisle questioned Edward who nodded after a slight pause. Carlisle made a start to move forward, but stopped when a sudden sound started to filter through the air. He wasn't the only one to notice either. The Volturi had ceased it's murmuring and glaring to concentrate on the faint noise.

Bella's face scrunched in concentration. She couldn't quite figure out what it was, but she could tell that it was coming closer. The wolves, too, started to grow restless. If the atmosphere had not been so tense and the meeting different, she would have found humor in the looks on the wolves faces; it was amazing how human they seemed even in their wolf form.

Eventually, the sound grew louder and easier to discern; it was humming. The soft, musical sound was eloquent as it rode the wind towards them. Power rode the notes, and as it brushed against her, Bella felt all her fear, anxiety, anger, and troubles start to melt away.

Renesmee pressed her head into her mother's dark curls, making it easy for Bella to feel her little girl smiling into her hair. The music was also having a pleasing affect on Renesmee. The sound of footsteps sounded and mixed in with the singing, drawing the attention of everyone to the side of the meadow.

Unlike when the Volturi came, there was no dark and gloomy aura. Instead, it was as if the shadows of the forest parted for the being that was coming closer. The keen eyesight of the Vampires allowed them to take notice of the person sooner than the wolves could.

A young woman dressed in a flowing white dress made of silk was approaching. Her dress ended at her knees, flowing behind her in the wind along with her long locks of silver hair. Thin straps held the dress atop her shoulders, and a fine ribbon of the darkest blue wrapped around her waist in a small bow with the ends trailing to her feet. Pale skin glowed in the light that managed to make its way through heavy clouds. Her face, however, was obstructed from view by a large white hat that matched her dress. Slid into the ribbon atop it were several white and light pink roses.

The girl walked barefoot through the forest, and in her hands were several wild flowers that she had obviously picked through the woods. Her attention was on the delicate floral even as she moved closer to the two threatening groups. The wind, which had been flowing towards the girl, now shifted, blowing her scent towards the vampires and wolves.

The scent was so strange; it was nothing any of the vampires had every encountered.

Bella could hear Edward gasp in shock. She turned concerned eyes towards him, "What's wrong? Who is she?"

"I don't know. I can't read her mind," Edward spoke in distress. Aro perked upon hearing such information and he turned towards the girl who was now swooping down to scoop up a few more flowers. She now held a dozen or so in her hand and was now doing something intricate with them. Her small feet continued to move her closer, but she had yet to move towards a side. She stayed in the middle until she stood before either group, separating them.

The Volturi guards automatically crouched, ready to attack should this unknown person make any move to provoke them. Aro, however, demanded peace, and so they relaxed, slightly. He stepped forward and smiled softly at the young woman who had walked upon the meeting. Alec stayed close to her Master, keeping her fingers attached to his robe as if they were glued to his very being.

"Welcome, child," Aro opened his arms in a welcoming manner. This sent the Cullen's group on edge. Were they expecting this person? Who was she? Why was she here? At everyone's curious glances, Edward shook his head.

"They don't know her either," his voice was void of any emotion.

"I am Aro, and who might you be?" Aro questioned while taking another step closer to the girl who had yet to face him or acknowledge his presence. Though angered, he made sure to keep his emotions in check for his audience.

"I go by many names, but you are not the one I seek," This time, the girl turned her head, lifting it to allow Aro a glimpse at her face. Edward was able to glean only a few coherent thoughts from him, all confusing.

Before any one could say anything, the girl turned her back on the very powerful vampire, "Which of you is Renesmee?" That simple question had everyone alert. Seth and Jacob stepped forward, blocking Bella and Renesmee from view. The vampires that had come to help readied themselves to fight.

"Who are you and why are you here?" Carlisle broke away from the group. He moved like Aro had, cautiously. Whoever the woman was, she was not human, not in the least. Whatever she was, it was unknown to everyone present, and that is what scared them the most.

"I am a friend and I'm here at the request of Alice and Jasper Cullen," A small giggle slipped from the girl as she mentioned the two Cullen's. Her laughter, like that of the vampires, rang like chimes through the air; it, too, was relaxing.

"They sent you?" Bella felt herself asking in relief.

"Not exactly, but they intended to. Time, I'm afraid, was not on their side, but here I am in good faith," Suddenly, the wind picked up. The invisible force seemed to wrap around the girl, blowing the fabric of her clothes and her hair around in a mini tornado. As it slid up her body, it picked up her hat with invisible fingers, flinging it from her and allowing her face to come in view of the Cullen's.

Blue eyes shone in reserved amusement; however, what amused her was lost to the group of whom she was facing. The next thing to be noticed was a golden crescent moon upon her brow, which seemed to pulse in tune with her heart. At seeing her face, Edward understood Aro's response. She had an unearthly beauty and natural grace about her, but most of all, her eyes held a power and knowing beyond anything of this world. They pulled you in, made you trust her, comforted you, and promised you an eternity of peace and Serenity.

At that last thought, the girl smiled knowingly and Edward couldn't help but question if she was capable of reading minds. Bella's view had been blocked by the two wolves that had quickly moved to protect her and Renesmee, but she didn't fail to notice how Jacob's large form had frozen at first, only to suddenly jerk at whatever the girl had done.

She was aware of the steady increase in his heartbeat and it made her question the change in his attitude. What was going on? To sate her curiosity and mild apprehension, Bella pushed between the two wolves until she was able to see the stranger. Renesmee had also moved so she could see the girl.

"Pretty," was the single word the child said as she looked upon the glowing figure. This caught the woman's attention.

"Are you Renesmee, young one?" The woman questioned and the child nodded. Bella felt her daughter shift, moving to lean closer to the woman who now made to approach the two. Seth had broken from his shock and growled a warning. The hairs on his back rose as he crouched, but Jacobs's large form made to snap at him, surprising the wolves and the Cullen's.

"I mean the child no harm."

Renesmee whined lowly at being restrained. She turned her attention back towards her mother and allowed her tiny hands to touch her mother's cheeks. A vision quickly flooded Bella's mind, giving the little one time to escape from her mother's hold and race towards the silver haired woman.

"Renesmee!" Edward called out when he caught on to the thought running through Demetri and Jane's minds. Demetri, the Volturi's best tracker, suddenly disappeared in a blur.

The silver haired woman's eyes flashed a deep maroon color before they narrowed. With a simple wave of her hand, a large purple barrier extended from her being and covered the area until it reached Renesmee's body. "Call him off, Aro."

Her voice, unlike before, was no longer a soothing chime, but a deep and commanding tone that held an immense power upon it. Her tone was that of someone who demanded respect and total cooperation.

"Demetri!" Aro's voice was cold steel, making the vampire stop mere centimeters from the shield. The Vampire growled threateningly towards the girl and made to push through the barrier but her words stopped him cold.

"This shield is capable of not only preventing you from coming any closer, but a mere touch could cause some…slight discomfort," She had turned her body and tilted her head, sending Demetri a smile that feigned innocence. "I do not wish to harm anyone, but if you give me no choice, I will defend myself and those that I have come to protect until they have been heard."

"Amazing," Aro commented and made a move which was a clear sign for Demetri to retreat. "I can't help but to wonder what other surprises you have in store for us, child."

"Serenity," the woman corrected. "If you are to call me by anything, it would be proper for you to refer to me as Serenity. Calling me a child is an insult to both of us, ne?"

Renesmee, by then, had made it to the woman known as Serenity. Her small hand reached for the dress that Serenity wore, tugging it to gain her attention. The silver haired girl smiled softly and knelt on the grass next to the shorter being. Her hands presented a crown of various flowers. Serenity gently placed it upon her head before standing and offering her hand with a warning. "Do not try to read me or open your mind to me, little one; it is not a safe thing to do to one who has experienced as much as I. When you are older, the secrets of the universe may be shared with you, but we have to wait and see."

Renesmee nodded and took the offered hand, pulling Serenity along to Bella. As soon as she reached her mother, Bella scooped the girl up and held her close. If Serenity noticed the frightened response, she did not show it. Instead, she presented Bella with a gift; it was a locket of pure gold in the shape of a star. The center of it opened to play a soft tune.

"I wish to congratulate you on your new addition to the family. Truly you and yours have been blessed. Wear this knowing that all things will be as they were meant to and have faith in yourself, your family, and your friends. They will not fail you," Serenity spoke while slipping the locket over Bella's head and around her neck. Bella stood still, shocked at the sincerity in the stranger's voice. She felt compelled to believe everything that Serenity had said.

"If you'll excuse me for one moment," Serenity smiled and turned away. As she brushed pass the two main guard wolves, one of them moved forward to lightly sniff her hand. She, in return, brushed her fingers through his red fur, sending a wave of power to comfort and put the animal at ease.

Jacob felt the flow travel through his connection to his pack; it caused each member to relax. Seth, who was still not at ease with her closeness to Renesmee, seemed to back down from his standoffish behavior.

Serenity walked to Aro. Her form was completely at ease and comfortable with her surroundings, making some of the Volturi fall into a sense of unease. "As I have said before, Aro, I am known by many names, but you may call me Serenity. I am not human by any means nor am I a Vampire or some other supernatural creature. I am someone of whom you would be wise not to cross; however, since you have done no wrong against me or mine, I only speak to warn you. Hear out the Cullen's or that which you fear will come to be a reality."

"You speak as if you know this for certain," Aro spoke carefully, hoping to gauge some sort of reaction and gather information from her.

"I do."

"Another prodigy like Alice?"

"I am like nothing you have ever seen," Serenity spoke, instantly igniting Aro's spark of curiosity into a raging inferno. Edward read his thoughts easily, picking up his desire to collect her. Fear tightened in his gut. Serenity's body stiffened momentarily before relaxing. She turned her head slightly, sending an intense look at Edward. For a moment, he was allowed to enter her mind and he understood.

She was a distraction sent to give Alice and Jasper time. The only question was, time for what? When he tried to find the answer, he was again blocked.

"You don't have to do this," Edward spoke up, hoping to dissuade her from this sacrifice. If she wasn't careful, Aro would not leave her alone until she joined or perished. Giving the display from before, it was likely he would continue to bribe her into his army or use one of his most favorite advantages.

"Maybe not, but I want to," When she smiled at him, she seemed to shine and sparkle in her own blinding radiance of power and innocence. "Now," she turned her attention to Carlisle and then Aro. "I believe that my presence interrupted something. So, I shall step back and allow the two of you to speak, but do not be so quick as to forget my warning, Aro."

Serenity stepped aside to allow Carlisle to step forward. As the two passed by one another, they gave a nod of acknowledgement. Serenity retreated to stand near Bella while Carlisle faced Aro, ready to plead his family's case.
