AN: Oh jeez you guys are lucky you're not writing this. I want to apologize ahead of time for any errors. I do my best while I'm writing, but like I said last chapter I'm writing in a hurry.

I'd love to hear from you if you like the story or even if you don't. Just review, Thanks!!!

So without further ado, here's chapter 5...

Chapter 5

Is it even possible for vampires to freak out? I wanted to hyperventilate but I knew it wouldn't do any good because I don't need to breathe. Grabbing Renesmee was my next course of action, I had to get her out of here. I had to make her safe from the Volturi's plans. Edward, my loving Edward, he had to of been part of their plans as well. I remember Aro extending the invitation for him and Alice to don one of their black robes. I had to make them safe.

Alice started having another vision, I stomped my foot like a toddler and a hiss escaped my lips. Oops too loud, because people started looking around. Suddenly she stopped and stared at Edward. Edward looked horrified as he and Alice seemed to be having a silent conversation. Honestly those two.

"Hey! How about having a conversation in words where everyone else who isn't a telepath or psychic can hear?" I guess Jasper couldn't take my rage anymore because I was calm again. I looked over at him and nodded my head in thanks. Jasper tried to smile back but even his smile was off. What was with everyone today?

"I'm sorry Bella, it's just, well I was having a vision and it stopped. I was hoping Edward saw my vision before it disappeared, but he only saw what I saw."

"Well what did you see?" I could tell that Alice was frantic. She hates it when something interferes with her vision. Going in blind, is not her favorite thing to do, and we were going to need her gift if the Volturi were coming.

"It seems the Volturi have added another vampire to the guard. Apparently her gift is sensing. She can sense the strength a vampire has, and the gift they possess. She can also tell when there is another gift that can be matured. They've only just acquired her, but I saw that if Aro had her beforehand, he would have been here sooner. He wants you Bella."

"Me? Why? He's known I was a shield, why after all this time does he want me?" I was definitely confused. And with everyone in my family protecting me, how did he expect to get to me? Unless he was planning on killing those who meant the most to me? My shield was now down so I rethought my questions to Edward.

"Darling, I think your shield somehow has manifested itself to stop the mental powers of vampires." Edward could see that I was still confused, so he continued his explanation, "See in the hallway, I thought you had stopped everyone around us from thinking. Remember when I told you everyone was silent?" He didn't even wait for me to respond before he spoke again. "Well with that and what I just witnessed with Alice, I think you're the reason her vision stopped so abruptly."

"I was trying to calm you down, before, but I couldn't." Jasper seemed particularly perplexed because he's always had full control over everyone's emotions. "I was even trying to force inappropriate emotions on random people in here and it just wouldn't work."

"Edward, what were you guys doing in the hallway when you noticed that she blocked your power?" Always the strategist, Jasper was generally excited.

"We were sort of arguing, but she let her shield down to yell at me. But the moment she made her point, she slammed it back up and that's when everything went silent."

We were all pondering what the next course of action should be. We knew we needed to see Carlisle, but all of us couldn't leave, it would draw too much suspicion as to why the Cullen's left early on the first day of school. It's always about appearances.

By the end of lunch, we theorized that my shield has progressed into blocking the powers of vampires. We were positive it blocked mental powers, but were unsure about physical. Right now, as I haven't gained control of my newfound gift, I could only use it when I was angry. Through another one of Alice's visions, the timeline for the "visit" wasn't going to be until the summer, so we still had plenty of time to prepare.

The rest of the day was uneventful. We hurriedly handed Miss Gerbera our slips, and ran at human speed to the car. Edward drove at a ridiculous speed, while I sat and stared blankly out of the window. In the backseat, Alice called Carlisle to make sure he was home from the hospital, and Jasper explained our theory to Renesmee. My daughter put her arm on my left shoulder and showed me that she remembered the turmoil the Volturi's last visit had caused me and told me that everything will be okay. I just hope I could believe it.

We arrived home in five minutes and no sooner did you hear the car doors slamming were we in the dining room. We didn't care how fast we moved at home, we loved our house because it was so open, it was the only place we didn't have to hide. Carlisle and Esme were headed down the steps, and Rose and Emmett were already seated at the table when we walked in.

Walking into the room, I remembered that just before the last meeting we had, I was happy that I had everything I could ever want. And now it seemed the Volturi wanted to take it from me.

Yet again, the day's events were told those that didn't go to school. Carlisle looked especially astonished at the theory that we came up with. I couldn't help but chuckle and worry about the barrage of tests he was going to want to run immediately. Carlisle tended to get carried away with tests when a new problem presented itself, and this was a new problem. Regardless of what triggered the maturation of my shield, I needed to be able to control it before the summer. As of right now, there was no telling what the Volturi had planned for my family, so I would put up with his tests.

Carlisle was on the phone with Tanya after our meeting. We wanted to know if Kate would mind coming down. When Kate got on the phone, without giving out too many details, he explained to her that my gift seemed to have expanded and we wanted to see if it included physical gifts. With my hearing, I could tell Kate was just as confused as I was when I first heard of the theory, and I was there.

Everyone drifted into the living room while Carlisle was on the phone. Some game was on and Jasper and Emmett were watching it feverously. Renesmee went to her room because one of her friends let her borrow a CD. Alice was sitting on the loveseat, designing a cute long coat, hmm, I would look great in that. But suddenly she stopped, but it wasn't a vision.

"The werewolves are coming tonight. Everything just went blank."

I was a little worried about the werewolves. Well they weren't exactly werewolves, more like shape shifters, but still. Even though we were considered friends of the pack, some of them still did not like fighting alongside their once mortal enemies. They were dissuaded once Jacob and Renesmee started living on the reservation, and those that once hated us, even became our friends. But still, even I was unsure of the bond between werewolf and Cullen now, after all these years. Would they still fight with us? Then a disturbing thought crossed my mind. What if when the Volturi came, it did turn into a brawl and we lost? What would happen to werewolves? Caius wanted to eradicate them, while Aro had expressed an interest in using them as guard dogs. At that moment, I made the decision the wolves would not fight.

Alice looked at me scared, but since she didn't want to startle anyone, she whispered in a really low voice, "What did you just decide?"

I wanted to make sure that I didn't attract any attention to us, so I simply said, "You know Alice, I have the perfect outfit in my closet that would go great with that coat." I hoped she caught my cue, without giving me away, she did. We walked out of the door casually and as soon as we were out the door, started running towards the cabin.

"You know Bella, we really need to work on your acting skills. I don't know if anyone would even believe that you would volunteer to be my fashion guinea pig, so what's really going on?" I took a moment to be slightly hurt, I honestly sometime liked being a model. Usually when I put up a fight, I do it because everyone expects me to. After living 50 years with this family, I realized that the pixie would when. Why not embrace it.

"Back at the house, I was thinking about what would happen if the Volturi came here to fight, and we lost. I didn't want to drag the wolves into it, Aro and Caius both had plans for them the last time they were here. This isn't their fight, I don't want them here for it." I was very adamant about this and I wanted to make sure my point got across, so I stamped my foot.

"No, that's all wrong Bella, they have to be there. I may not know what the outcome will be, but without them, Bella it's not good." If my heart wasn't already dead, it would've chosen that moment to stop. "I saw you, me, Jasper and Edward and Renesmee in robes standing in between Jane and Demetri. We were wearing black robes." Of course instantly I felt bad for my decision because Alice was dry sobbing at this point. "On the day of the Volturi returning, there is a huge battle, but Demetri is able to get his hands on Renesmee, and is about to kill her, when you scream. It'll be a blood-curdling scream and everything stops. In exchange for her life, you tell Aro you will join the guard if he spared hers and everyone elses. When he ponders the proposal, Caius decides that your life is not valuable enough for the entire Cullen family."

I didn't want to hear any more of what she had to say so I covered my ears with my hands, but it wasn't enough. "Caius says, 'the rest of the family will be spared if me Edward, and Jasper join the guard along with Nessie.' We're not happy but since Carlisle Esme, Rose and Emmett will be safe at the very least, we agree to his terms. But Caius goes back on his word and kills them anyway." I couldn't take it. There was no way I could let that happen. My family was going to be safe no matter what, all of them.

We walked back to the house in silence. But as soon as we jumped over the river, our nostrils were assaulted by a disgusting but familiar scent. Werewolves.
