That day onwards, Chris kept tagging after me wherever I go, including school. He even went to the extreme of using illegal ways just to get himself enrolled into my school as a fifteen-year-old kid. Had he not used the name Christian Watson, people would have thought we were both twins. There were even rumors spreading around the school that I broke up with Will just to be with him.

I was thankful that my boyfriend trusted me and knew that I would never ever cheat on him. My adoptive family, on the other hand adored him, all except for Alice and Edward. Alice, although nearly always cheerful and bubbly, would get very edgy and frustrated whenever Chris was around and when she tried to peek into Chris's future Know why? She couldn't see it, just like how she couldn't see Jacob's and Ness's. Edward on the other hand, didn't trust Chris.

Both of them think that Chris was a "secret agent" sent by the Volturi to pry into our life, because he knew about them being vampires, and he could block Edward from reading his thoughts.

I kept wondering, how was it possible for Chris to make me feel safe beside him? But, without my memory, I still couldn't accept him as my brother. Jasper seemed more like a brother to me than him. I knew it would hurt him if I said that to him, but I kept my words to myself.

We were at the living hall, watching "Harry Potter : The Goblet of Fire" again. All of the sudden, Emmett's voice broke across the hall , "Look at him! How can he be Viktor Krum? See, don't I look more like a Viktor than he does?" He looked down at his extremely muscular self dejectedly. Rosalie comforted him, "Yeah. Of course you will be chosen if you were to go for casting. The problem is, you can't."

We all laughed. Then Emmett said again, "Fine. But look at that Cedric Diggory. Doesn't he look like Edward?" Bella laughed, "Of course not, Emmett. My husband is sexier."

Out of sudden, Alice blanked out. We knew she was seeing visions again, so we waited for her to tell us. "We'll play baseball later!"

"Baseball? But, its going to rain." Chris asked. Everyone of us laughed, "That's why we're playing baseball my dear. There'll thunderstorms later."

"Exactly! That's my point." Chris said impatiently. "That's why we shall be staying indoors right, Alice?" Chris said.

"No. We play baseball differently from the others. When we hit the ball, it sounds like thunder. So as not to scare the humans, we decided only to play during thunderstorms." Alice rolled her eyes. "If you're so afraid of the lightning and the thunderstorm, why not you stay indoor while the rest of us enjoy ourselves outside?"

Chris looked confused at first, but decided to give it a try. He nodded.

Esme, the referee, spoke, "Hmm… Carlisle, Emmett, Alice, Bella and Jacob will be in a group, while Edward, Rosalie, Ness, Jasper, Olivia and Chris will be in the other group."

What? No way! I wasn't going to suffer again. I protested, "No! I'm not playing."

Emmett pouted, "Why not? Come on, Olive. You're as fast as us."

I glared at him, "Emmett, don't you remember the last time we played? You hit the ball right onto my face before I could avoid it. No, no, no. My face's not going to suffer from another hit, again."

Jasper put his arms around my shoulder, "Never mind sis. I'll protect you. Come on, its fun."

"Hey. Sis, you only need my protection and that would be enough." Chris hissed emphasizing on his last few words.

I sighed. I never objected Jasper, no matter what. So I gave in. "Fine. But you do remember the promise you made?" I smirked at Jasper.

By their looks, I could see that everyone of them was confused, all except for Jasper. He knew what I meant by that. "Yes. I won't forget about that." He smiled.

This would be fun. I chanted in my head, Teddy's going to get it. Teddy's going to get it. Edward raised an eyebrow at me, then he laughed so hard. I looked at him, shouting at him in my head. Don't you dare tell him. Remember, both of us are in your team.

"Don't you guys look at me like that. Its all Jasper's fault. He manipulated my emotions." Innocent Jasper shook his head and sent a wave of calmness towards Edward.

When we reached the field, Edward asked Chris, "You sure you can run?"

Chris said, "Watch me." He ran around the field once, without the need to stop and breathe. Edward said crudely, "Impressive. You're definitely not human. But seeing that I can't read your thoughts, I can't be sure of what you really are."

"The time hasn't come yet. I'm sorry. Soon, soon I will tell you all." Chris replied with an apologetic smile.

He actually sounded like someone I knew before. I sighed, time to play.

When we were all at the exact position of my plan, I winked at Jasper. He threw the ball towards Emmett, wanting him to hit it. As planned, the ball came right towards me. All of them shouted, "Olivia, the ball!" I caught the ball and threw it as if indifferently. But truthfully, I aimed it at Emmett's face. He didn't know the ball was coming towards his direction, and was busy talking to Jasper.

"Ouch!" he shouted. I ran towards Jasper and hugged him. The plan worked, and I had my little revenge. Everyone knew that Jasper and I did it on purpose, except for poor little Emmett. He just cursed the ball, and kept rubbing his cheek. I laughed so hard that my knees gave way and I fell onto the ground. "Hold your breath." I gasped as I saw the cut on my palm. I felt a sharp pain from the deep cut. I looked at the weapon, a bloody broken glass. "What the? A broken glass in the middle of this field?"

Carlisle examined my palm, "The wound is quite deep my dear. Let's get back to the car." Edward picked up the piece of glass, "I suppose some people love coming here for picnic. Its from the glass bottles."

When Carlisle tried to wrap my palm with the cloth he'd torn from his shirt, Alice gasped, "It can't be. It cannot be. No, this isn't right. No, no, no!"

Jasper calmed her down, "My dear, calm down okay? Now, explain clearly to us what isn't right?"

"Jasper! The Volturi! They'll arrive here in 5 minutes' time." Then she panicked again. Volturi? Oh, the oh-so-famous Volturi, which until today now I couldn't be sure of who they really were.

"Why can't they leave us alone? We're not going to join them in any way. You, why did you summon them?" Edward groaned. His question was directed to none other than Chris. Chris shook his head wildly, "No! Trust me. My grandfather once told me how dangerous they were. And I would never ever think of placing Olivia in such grave danger."

Then, everyone started shouting at the same time, making it hard for me to figure out what they were talking about.

Carlisle said calmly, "Jasper, calm everyone down. Alice, why are they here? Are they after you? Edward? Or Bella and Ness?"

I was shocked, I knew the Volturi were the antagonist, when I saw the frightened and furious look on my siblings whenever the word Volturi was mentioned. But I didn't know they wanted my siblings.

Alice said calmly, thanks to Jasper's ability, "No. I don't know why I couldn't see them earlier. I don't know who they want! We can't run now, they'll be here soon."

Edward snarled, "Hah, they sure do know how to surpass your ability after a decade. Its amazing how all of them could keep their thoughts to themselves, except for Aro, who I assumed wanted me to hear him. It seems like they has spies around, and words have reached his ears that a human- Olivia knows of our existence." He scowled at Chris.

Esme freaked out, "Oh dear! No, not again. She's innocent, we can't just make her into one of us."

Despite the frantic on goings, I remained very clam, "Does this mean, they either kill me, or turn me into a vampire?"

They nodded. I didn't know what to do, either way, I was going to die. "But no way! I'm not going to let Olivia become a vampire. Not unless I die first." Rosalie roared.

Carlisle said, "Rosalie, calm down. We will protect Olivia. If they really give us no choice, then we would have to…" He shrugged off, I knew what he was going to say. Carlisle was one who loved peace, and now because of the both of us, he was going to fight.

I wanted to say something, but I couldn't find my voice. "They are here." Bella gasped.

Chris asked Alice, "Will there be rain during our encounter with the Volturi?" Idiot, who would ask such questions when a war ought to start.

Without starting an argument, Alice looked into her visions quickly, and said, "Yes."

I could see the satisfied look on Chris, and shook my head. Jasper pulled me to his back and whispered, "Hide behind me, I'll protect you from them."

I smiled, though inside me, I was nervous. Was I going to die? Were the Cullens going to die just because of me? Jasper was indeed a great fighter, but what if he sacrificed himself just for me? I couldn't bear to think any more.

From afar, I could see vampires with hoods running towards us, and stopped when they were a few feet away from us. Their eyes, were crimson red. Oh my, they drink human blood, how sinful. A man voiced, "Ah, Cullens my friends, how nice to meet you all again."

Carlisle smiled, "Aro, nice to meet you all too. So, what brings you here?"

The guy who was known to be Aro said, "Can't I visit my old friends? Ah, Renesmee! You've grown up to be a stunning woman, just like your mum."

I could hear Edward hissed, and Ness replied, coldly , "Why thank you Aro."

"You're welcome. Seeing those two little snacks there, I assumed you are no longer 'vegetarians'?" he laughed evilly.

Edward shouted, "No they are not our snacks. Isn't him the spy you sent? And of course, we're still 'vegetarians'."

I could see Aro's shocked face, It wasn't as if he already knew everything there is to know about us. I rolled my eyes, knowing that he was yet another actor. Maybe even better than my family members.

"No. I don't know him. But what I am very sure of is that they are both humans who have come to know about our existence. Rules are still rules. There's a third option now anyway, you see, we have one new member, Jovaic. He can erase one's memory. So what do you say about that? Jovaic!"

I saw a familiar figure approaching us. I felt a longing for him, I wanted to run to him and hug him. But I didn't know why. All of a sudden, my head was in pain again. Holding my head gingerly between both hands, I gritted my teeth as memories kept flowing back in my mind. Jasper held me in his arms, "Are you alright?"

Edward whispered, "She's recalling her past. But…Its as though every time she recalls something, someone is erasing them."

Aro asked sarcastically, "What's happening there? Oh dear, is she dying?"

Chris said, in a polite tone, though I knew that he was in a rage, "Why not you ask your NEW member over there, Jovaic? Aren't you supposed to be dead? I see, you have the ability to erase one's memory. You were the one who erased Arwen's memory. Return it!"

Finally the pain wasn't there, and I couldn't know what I recalled just now. I stood up, with the help of Jasper and asked, "Chris, what are you talking about?"

The rain started pouring, and Chris shouted, "Jovaic, don't you dare ignore me." I saw on his hand, a sword was forming as he froze the rain droplets. What? He had powers too? And he kept it silent from all of us?

Aro cleared his throat, "Jovaic, do you know them? Explain immediately and do not lie."

Obeying Aro's order, Jovaic spoke, "Master, that girl was my wife. I took away her memory."

"Interesting. Do you want to join us, dear?" Aro asked, none other than me.

I answered, "Hell no. And yeah right, I was your wife? You were the one who gave me this ring? No way did I get married to a human slaughter vampire!"

"It is true, Arwen." I blinked, he called me the name Chris called the first time he saw me. Arwen.

Aro cleared his throat, "Now since you don't want to join us, you leave me no options but to take your life."

I could see my siblings crouch in front of me, taking a defensive posture. Chris told them, "You will not sacrifice yourselves just because of me and my sister. I will talk to them."

Then he spoke to Aro, like a true king, "Aro, I supposed you're the leader of the Volturi, the royalty in the vampire society. You made a rule, stating that humans who acknowledge your existence must die. Does the rule apply to humans only?" Aro nodded and replied, "Creatures like Jacob, that shape-shifter needn't die, because we are all the same, mythical creatures."

"Very well then. Me and my sister shall not die." Chris said sternly. I flinched.

"Who are you? What made you say so?" Aro asked, with a hint of curiosity in his tone.

Chris smiled, "I am Prince Alexander, son of King Arthur and Queen Elizabeth, the heir to the throne of the sea kingdom. I am a mermaid."

Everyone gasped, including myself. Of course I had dreamed of mermaids before, if I were to be his sister, does that mean I'm a mermaid too? Impossible.

Aro laughed, "Mermaid? You're a mermaid?"

"You don't believe, don't you? Ask Jovaic. He was a mermaid, lowest in ranking." Chris smirked.

Aro shot a glare at Jovaic, "Is it true?"

Jovaic just nodded.

"Fine, you two are excused, since you are both mythical creatures too. Now, we will take our leave." Aro said, dissatisfaction clearly in his voice. To think that he was going to use this wonderful opportunity to have the Cullens prosecuted. Now his hopes are shattered and it was all because of the mermaids.

Chris said, "Thanks, but not before Jovaic does some explaining and return my sister's memories."

Aro nodded, "Jovaic, its your own fault, solve it immediately."

"But, master?" Jovaic looked at Aro pleadingly, but Aro just glared at him, clearly disappointed at his member's act.

"Jovaic, speak before I…" Chris said.

"Okay, okay. I will, just don't do it." Jovaic said. What was he afraid of, I wondered. "I married Arwen, because I so naively thought you will give me a part of the power your family owns. But, you and your father were so self-centered. During my marriage to Arwen, I hinted to have some of the power passed on to me. I was desperate but you ignored me. Then, during our honeymoon, which I detested, I met Jane. She was a beautiful woman, a vampire, and she promised that I would get a new power, if I were to turned into one. Knowing that, I agreed. So I faked my death, and your stupid sister fell for it. I really did sympathize her for grieving over my so called death, when I was actually enjoying myself being a vampire, together with Jane. Then that day, all of a sudden, she appeared right in front of Jane and I, looking as if she did gone crazy and I knew immediately Jane would kill her when she hugged me so tightly, as if never letting me go."

He took in another breath and continued, "After all, we were once husband and wife, and I felt guilty that she was in such a state. So, I thought we would be even if I saved her. Jane didn't know about Arwen's ability to heal fast, so I stabbed her and erased all her memories. Then, I took away her pearl before leaving her near the ocean. Jane sensed that your family was nearby, so we quickly ran away."

Alice said, "No wonder I thought I smelt Jane."

"You jerk! You didn't deserve my sister." Jasper and Chris said in unison. Then Chris instructed, "Give her back her memories, and you shall be banished from the mermaids' world forever. I will take back both your pearl and my sister's."

"No! Please don't take back the pearl. I will die without it, just like the others." Jovaic pleaded. "What? You're afraid that you will die? Come on, you're a vampire, you live for eternity. Its only a pearl, one freaking pearl. You even took my sister's and swallowed it. Thank God the blood in her is that of a royalty's, had it not been for that she would have already turned into ashes."

Two white sphere-like pearl came out of Jovaic's throat. Chris crushed the pearl which was glowing dimly which laid on his hand. From the corner of my eyes, I could see Jovaic's face became paler, as if he knew he was going to die. The other one, bright and sparkly against the darkness of the night, came to me, and as my mouth opened to a perfect 'O' unconsciously, it popped into my mouth and went down into my throat.

It was a wonderful sensation as I felt my body became more energetic.

I could hear something along those lines of, "Now, didn't I say you won't die?" "Return her memory immediately!"

With that, I could see flickers of images of my past memories and had a severe headache again.
