A/N I'm eager to finish this story…it's been a few years since I've created it. So, here's another chapter! :P

Chapter Twenty-Eight (Kyle's POV)

When we arrived to Seattle, I was amazed at the massive group of vampires that were collected. "Wow, almost everybody came."

Renesmee looked at me oddly, "Of course. Did you think it was just my family who was searching? These are our friends. The ones that aren't waiting here, are searching other places."

I nodded slowly as I got out of the car. The Denali, Irish and Cullen families were the ones that were here, so the others must still be hunting and searching. One of the Irish vampires looked my way, "Why is he here? If the Volturi is involved…" She started to say, but Edward shook his head.

"Like it'd be better if he was found in our house?" He spoke sharply, but then apologized. Everyone was feeling frustrated by how easily Edelle had disappeared.

"Could she have left again, and this is just you guys worrying excessively?" Someone asked, but I frowned.

"She wouldn't have left me." I told them, before looking around, "Isn't there anything?"

"This is the last spot that Edelle's smell ended up in, yet there is no Edelle. Maybe a car…?" Carmen suggested, and Eleazar shook his head.

"If this is a Volturi act, they would have done it quickly, or come to the Cullen house to do it publically. If it's Jane acting on her own, then she would be doing it as quietly as possible, so no cars, or airplane flights."

"So she's in town." I frowned and I was about to say something, when I heard a painful scream, before it was cut off. My head shot up, and looked frantically for the location of the noise , "Edelle?!"

Everyone looked at me, confused, "What?"

"Did no one hear that? She was screaming!"

They exchanged looks between themselves, "Kyle…none of us heard anything." Bella spoke softly, but I refused to think I was going insane.

"No, I heard it. She…" I heard her scream again, "There!" I pointed in a direction, and started running towards it blindly when Edward caught me. I almost punched him with all the adrenaline going through my system, but a part of me remembered he was my girlfriend's father. Instead, I pushed him off of me, "What?!" I barked.

"None of us can hear anything…even if you are hearing something that over a dozen vampires can't, it means that this situation is more dangerous than we thought." Edward told me, and I paused.

"Meaning what?" I looked at them in frustration, noticing Renesmee's look of intense concentration, "Give me an answer, or I'm off. I don't care if there are a hundred vampires between me and Edelle. If she's in pain, I'm going to her."

"Kyle," Nessie began, and I looked at her, "Why didn't Edelle kill you in the beginning? What about you caught her attention?"

I froze. This was stuff I promised Edelle I wouldn't tell anyone. Nessie noticed my hesitation, "This might save her Kyle. She'll forgive you."

"You sure about that?" I weakly asked, "She's one who holds a grudge for a very long time."

I noticed she wasn't relenting, so I sighed, "I'm Edelle's singer, and she's been feeding off of me for the last few weeks. We stopped so that you all wouldn't notice while we were here."

This shocked everyone. "H…How does she not kill you?" Edward asked, eyes wide, "How.."

"She's amazing?" I answered with a sheepish shrug, "I mean, if it stops her from risking killing someone else, that's why I agreed to it in the beginning. Plus, she was cute."

"You are a weird human." Tanya said, and I noticed other vampires nodding in agreement.

"Well, it was either I agree to it or she kills me since she couldn't erase my thoughts." There. I said it.

This silenced all of them. "She…can…erase…thoughts?!" Bella's eyes widened with each word she said.

"She can manipulate thoughts…it's her gift. She needs music to do so, but that's why she went to the Volturi. She thought with her power she was almost invincible, and they wouldn't be able to do anything. I guess Jane found out…"

The vampires didn't look to surprised when I mentioned Volturi, so I guessed that the Cullens told them about Edelle's after school job. Carlisle was the one who spoke first, "And you were able to stop her from doing so? As a human?"

"It's possible, isn't it? After all, Bella showed mental shield tendencies even as a human," I commented, "And even she can't stop Edelle from reading her thoughts."

"Edelle can get through shields? That makes sense on why she thought she was invincible." Rosalie mused, "Unless her power was off, no one could stop her."

"Exactly, except for me. My thoughts can't be manipulated." I felt an idea growing now "Is it possible that Jane has someone whose power is to manipulate people's thoughts into making someone disappear from them?"

"No one can be that strong to do that even to a shield," Eleazar argued, "There has never been a case of that in Vampire history. The whole point of being a mental shield is that you can block any attempt from someone going into your mind."

"Yeah, vampire history. Yet both Renesmee and Edelle can go through Bella's shield with their power," I argued, my idea solidifying now, "Is it possible that this is a half-vampire thing?"

"Where would Jane find another half-vampire?" Edward asked, and at that moment, Zafrina walked up with her sisters.

"Amazon. The Volturi had returned once more after their masked person had left. This visit was much more clear."

"Stay with me for a moment, but what if half-vampire powers can work on any vampire? Wouldn't that make sense on why I'm the only one who can hear Edelle? I'm human," I gestured to myself, "A hybrid doesn't need any more advantages against us, because they are already like super humans. My strength is that I'm a weak human that isn't strong. I bet that if I turned into a vampire, I'd be in the dark as much as you guys are."

Everyone went silent, then Edward sighed. Pinching his nose he inhaled, than looked at me, "What do you suggest we do then? We can't do anything against something we cannot see?"

I smiled, "Easy. It's Edelle. All she needs is a moment to use her power."

"Yeah, but if Jane knows about her power, Edelle wouldn't have any music." Renesmee argued, and there were a few others nodding in agreement.

I sighed. Surely I'm not smarter than a bunch of century old vampires. Edward eyed me, and I shrugged, "Guys. All she needs is music. Anyone have a guitar?"

They looked at me in disbelief, and I changed my tactic, "Fine. Does anyone have a credit card to buy a guitar?"

"Who needs a guitar? All we need is a car's speaker system." Emmett argued, "No need to be romantic about it."

I paused, "If my ears heard correctly, she's in an apartment building. A human with a guitar can go a lot farther than a car's speaker system."

"Not my jeep's speaker system. Besides, you trying to find the right apartment would take forever." Emmett corrected with a smirk before walking towards his vehicle, "Carlisle, be prepared to pay for a noise disturbance ticket."

Edelle POV

I looked at Jane wearily, sick of this. Maybe I should just tell her… I knew my resolve was weakening, because what did it matter? What could she do to me now that she wouldn't end up doing later?

She looked at Eurbye, a confident look appearing in her eyes, "Watch Eurbye. They always weaken with pain. Hopelessness, that's what you have to sell when you're torturing someone for information. The idea that they'll never be saved, and no one can help them."

I tuned her out as she went on her villainous monologue. I didn't need to hear this again, and honestly, Jane wasn't that bright with her monologues. You would think after centuries that she would learn something more, but it sounds like there were even some old English words mixed into this monologue.

I sighed and looked out the window. We were high enough that I could only see the skyline, and I could tell it was night. I hoped Kyle wasn't too worried about me, or that my parents didn't think I ran off again. That was what hurt the most that they would think I would leave before Renesmee's wedding; that I didn't care enough to stick around.

I blinked, and looked at Jane in confusion. I could see the mingling of her thoughts. I couldn't read them but… I strained my ears. Yes. There it was. Music. I bit back laughter as the music steadily grew louder. Final Countdown by Europe, only Emmett would have a sense of humour at this critical moment.

I looked at Jane, who hadn't noticed the music yet as she converse with Eurbye. I waited until her thoughts were solidified enough before sending a thought into Emmett's mind. Stop Emmet. I can hear it.

I could hear his smirk as he thought, Go get her little niece.

I first spent a moment preparing my defenses by rebuilding my mental shield over all my thoughts. I glanced at Eurbye, and entered a thought into her mind. I'm craving human blood. I then pushed thoughts upon thoughts of blood streaming out of someone's neck into her mind, until she started licking her lips.

"Can I leave to find a human? I'm thirsty." Eurbye whimpered, and Jane blinked.

"When the enemy is at our door? I should think that."

"I'll go to the next apartment. I'll be fast. They won't know about her as long as I stay in the building." Eurbye argued.

Jane hesitated, but I, ever so slightly, nudged the more thoughtful thoughts up to the front of her mind. "I suppose so, just don't stray too far. Don't worry about cleaning up, that'll have to wait until later."

Eurbye left the room, closing the door behind her. As soon as that happened, I wiped her thoughts and forced her to sleep outside in the hallway. With that done, I hide a smile as I sent a thought out to all my family. I panicked for a moment when I felt Kyle's thoughts, but it helped me stay calm.

"Jane, you must have had a tough childhood," I commented casually, and she narrowed her eyes suspiciously. I kept talking though, to keep her from noticing the music, not that it would help her now, "Is that why you hate me, or any vampire for that matter? Because you're stuck in that phase of your life that you hate the most?"

"I loved my childhood," She snapped, "Alec and I had each other, what else mattered?"

"Ah, but did you have your brother? After all, talking to him, even as a human, could make one's troubles disappear…and then they would meet you. Their trouble. Their pain in the ass." I replied, and she slapped me, which was exactly what I wanted. For that moment, my power strengthened enough for me to bring all those painful childhood memories up front in her memory, and force them to stay there.

She winced and held her head, her face showing fear, pain, disbelief. I smiled softly, "Vampires never forget. It's a blessing and a wicked, wicked curse. Once a memory is drudged up, it takes awhile to disappear. Which is why you hated me, isn't it, and my family? They were a family, not a coven. They trusted each other, you only have fear and respect on your side of the vampire tracks."

"W…" She began, but I kept going, my voice gaining strength.

"No, singing doesn't help me in my times of trouble, my power does not appear like that. But one thing I can always count on, even when I'm stupid and forget this…is my family coming to my side." At that I looked at the door, which was opened by not just my Cullen family, but every person that had been downstairs. Including Kyle.

Jane froze and smiled at them, but by this point they were all under Mom's protective shield, as well as my own. I focused on Kyle, who took my smile in stride as he walked over to help me get unchained. "The Volturi wouldn't do this for you. If they were against unknown odds, they would walk away, and leave you behind," I commented, and she hissed in my direction.

"What are you going to do, kill me? The Volturi would destroy all of you!"

"Perhaps," I spoke coldly, as I grabbed hold of Kyle's hand, "But that would be too good of punishment for you. I don't want you to seek peace, I want you to keep that same nightmare of a life you've been living for hundreds of years. Maybe, after you've finally found your humanity, then I will kill you kindly." With that, I made her fall asleep, and sighed internally at my family's look of astonishment. Kyle, you could have told them this part too since you told them everything else.

He chuckled, Sorry Love, I was under a time crunch. You were under duress.

I scrunched my nose at him, before looking at my sister who had pushed her way up in the crowd, "Sorry Nessie, for taking the limelight on the eve of your wedding."

"That's fine, Alice couldn't give her bachelorette party then." She quipped, before looking up at our parents, "Let's go back home, we'll deal with everything there.

"What about them? I really was hoping for a smashing good time." Emmett groaned, and I smiled softly.

"They'll wake up not remembering anything important. Jane will have no idea that my power has a weakness, and she'll have a new memory to bring back to Aro that I declined coming back. She'll recall me being respectful, but that I realized home was most important. Eurbye will have a sudden urge to go back home and visit her sisters."

Mom and Dad smiled at my decision, and came over to help Kyle unchain me but I stopped them, "Um…Could everyone get out of here? I'm pretty sure I'm naked under here…I guess she stripped me of everything."

Some people snickered, but Renesmee tossed me a blanket, and Kyle took off his jacket. "That'll work, now leave." I ordered, but Mom glanced at Jane's sleeping body.

"I don't want you alone with her."

"I…Fine. Kyle?" I winked suggestively at him, and he turned a deep red when he noticed the look my father was giving him.

"I…I will wait outside while Bella and Nessie help you." He quickly left with my father behind him. Soon, it was just Bella and Nessie behind.

"Edelle…please don't wipe our memories of this." Mom asked quietly, "I don't want to forget all I've learned."

"…I know, and I will respect that," I replied just as quietly, though it pained me to say it, "But I will erase the memories of others outside of our family. They don't need to know all of this."

Both my sister and mother nodded, "Fair enough. Use the wedding, everyone will be there." Nessie commented, and I smiled.

"Sorry again." I said sheepishly as they helped get the rest of the chains off, "I didn't think Jane hated me this much." I quickly wrapped the blanket around myself and used the jacket as a tie. I looked horrible, but I wasn't nude anymore.

"That's always been your problem Edelle. You have a greater affect on those around you then you realize," Mom spoke tenderly as she hugged me close. I recoiled for a second, before settled in and accepted it, "Just look at Kyle. He really stepped up to the plate for a girl who sucks his blood."

I groaned, "I really need you guys to forget that part."

"Nope, because that's who you are. The greedy little person who will sink her teeth into her own boyfriend for some blood." Renesmee cooed, and ran out of the room laughing as I aimed a slap at her.

I looked at Mom nervously, "You're fine with my power?"

"Well…the fact that you know my thoughts when your father doesn't is a little unnerving, but yes, I am fine." Mom smiled at me, "Especially since you're asleep during the most important parts."

I stared at her, horrified, "Mother! You're worse than Emmet!"

"Only way to beat him at his own game, sweetheart." She told me, laughing as she helped me out of the room, "And you at yours. Stay out of my head."

"Gladly." I shivered again, disturbed by the images I saw in her head. Those were things no child would ever want to see of their parents.

A/N Yay, Edelle is saved! :P Reviews are always awesome…
