Chapter 10: The ninja plan

We had been fighting almost all day, trying to improve our skills. Most of the guard was to Brazil, together with Aro and Caius. Marcus had to stay put to look after us, something he didn't like at all.
I dodged one of Diego's attacks when suddenly something felt wrong, I could feel pain.

His arm hit me while I was still staring towards the door.

"Bree, I'm sorry! Are you okay?" I nodded, my skin would heal quickly.

"Something is wrong," I murmured.

There was no one in the building except for me, Diego, Marcus and the wives. I opened one of the doors and I could see Marcus, looking out of the window. His head turned at me.

"What do you want?"

"It's you," I said. "You're the one I was feeling."

"Nonsense," he said while shaking his head. I knew that he was trying to hide his pain but it didn't work on me.

I wondered why I had never seen this before, it was the pain of loss. Maybe that was because of Chelsea, when she was around everyone seemed happy in some sort of way but now everything was different, her powers weakened when she was too far away.

Diego was following my thoughts and suddenly he answered them. –Have you ever noticed the fact that Marcus is the only leader without a wife?-

I looked over at the man in front of us, pain was still in the air although it was now accompanied by annoyance.

"Are you going to answer me?" He yelled but suddenly everything went black and a new picture was forming in front of my eyes.

Marcus was still standing in front of me but a woman was standing by his side. She had long brown hair and wore a black dress covered with a red cape. I felt happy just being around her. I sensed her powers and it seemed that she had the ability to make others happy, she had an aura of happiness.

"Marcus, we should go, don't you think so?" the woman looked into his deep red eyes and he smiled at her.

"What will your brother think then?" he put a string of her hair behind her ear and she laid her head into his hand.

"Aro will understand, my love." She took his hand with her and smelled his sweet scent.

"I hope you're right, Didyme," he whispered.

Everything came back to normal and I blinked a few times.

"What was that?" Diego asked, he had seen it too through our connection.

"I don't really know, it seemed like a vision but a vision of the past."

Marcus seemed a little interested now, knowing that my power had become stronger.

"You said that you have got the ability from Alice, but your power doesn't work like the ones you get it from. Maybe your power is the opposite of hers, you see everything she can't see, also the past."

His explanation seemed to make sense but the vision didn't.

I decided not to talk about it and I excused ourselves for disturbing him and we walked back to our training room.

A few days later at Volterra:

"Can I ask you something?" I asked Aro who was in the library.

"Yes, young one?" he said. He never admitted it but I could still see the desire in his eyes, he wanted me to be in the guard to fight with them but he was pleased with how it was now.

"Did you have a sister?"

My question caught him by surprise but he remained his calm. "Yes, why?"

"Nothing, I just had a strange vision, that's all. But Marcus probably told you about his theory of me seeing in the past."

He nodded. "Have you told Marcus about this vision of my sister?" he asked, very interested.

"No, I didn't."

"Good," he murmured while walking outside.

There was something wrong and I knew it, right after I asked him about his sister. I was determined to find out what happened to her so I went to Marcus.

Diego was training with Alec but with one part of his mind he was following every step I made.

-Be careful,- he said.

-Don't worry, I'll be fine.-

I knocked on one of the doors in the big castle and Marcus told me to come in. These powers of Demetri were very handy, I knew where everyone was and I could easily find anyone.

"You again, what do you want?" he asked. The pain was gone now, of course, Chelsea was back.

"I want to ask you about a woman," I replied.

"What woman?"

"Didyme," I said. The room filled with pain again when I spoke her name out loud.

"How do you know this?" he asked.

"My vision. I know that you two wanted to leave, I know that you loved her, that you felt happy around her, even I felt happy in my vision. I know that she's Aro's sister."

He shook his head. "Didyme is dead for a long time now, almost two three millennia."

"Since you two were planning to leave?"

He narrowed his eyes and I could feel the wonder in the air, he was clearly thinking about something.

"This is none of your business, now get out!"

I nodded and walked outside.

-I need your help with his, I have a ninja plan.-

-What ninja plan?- Diego asked.

-I need you to use your power, on Didyme.-

-But Bree, I haven't learnt something like that, it can take years.-

-I know, but you're stronger then you were before and you haven't tried it. Meet me at the garden.-

I walked through the hallways, waiting for Diego to accompany me. The pain that was inside of Marcus made me feel the hurt too, he missed his wife and I was going to do something about it, I was going to figure out what had happened to her.

When I took a step into the garden I could see the crystals all over my body again. This was the only place we could go out without wearing our capes, no human would ever see us here.

After a few minutes Diego came too, he and Alec had ended their fight and I could still see his arm had some cracks in it. He always had a hard job fighting Alec but they were equals, his partner was hurt too sometimes.

"Now, what do I need to do?" he asked.

"Revive her," I simply said.

He frowned at me.

"Remember what Eleazar told you, you have to really want this."

He nodded. "I'm not sure if I can do this."

"I know you can, Diego. I have faith in you." He smiled at me and gave me a little kiss.

"Now, do you remember what she looks like?" He nodded and closed his eyes, trying to concentrate.

At first, nothing happened but soon a figure started to shape in front of us. A tall, brown haired, beautiful woman was standing in front of us. She was wearing the exact same clothes as in my vision. A dark dress covered with a red cape.

She looked around and I could see she noticed she was back in Volterra.

"How?" she asked when she suddenly noticed us.

"Hello Didyme," I said. "My name is Bree, and this is Diego. This must be a lot for you to take but you're in the year 2007. You've been dead for almost three millennia but my friend here has revived you, since he has the power to do so. I have the power to absorb and so I have gained a lot of different powers in my life, that's how I found out about you. Marcus is still in deep pain about your loss and Aro told me you were indeed his sister, because I had a vision about you."

Her eyes lit up when I said Marcus' name and she gritted her teeth when she heard Aro's.

"Marcus is still alive then?" she asked.

I nodded.

"And Aro too?" she narrowed her eyes.

"Yes, why?" I could feel the anger hanging in the air.

"He's the one who did this to me," she said. "He's the one who killed me, just because he didn't want Marcus and me to leave. He gave us his blessing but it was all just a lie. My own brother killed me! But I'm glad he did, that he didn't kill Marcus. He only killed me since I had the less important power."

"Aro did this to you?" Diego asked.

"I think your power is wonderfull," I said. "It's nice that you can make us happy."

"Yes, Aro did this," she said while she smiled towards me. "You two seem too nice to be in the guard and you don't seem brainwashed by Chelsea."

"We're not in the guard, we're here to learn."

"Don't be foolish. I bet Aro asked you to come here, but I suggest you leave as soon as you're done her. Aro always wants power and if he can revive people from the death and you can absorb powers then you're a nice addition to his collection."

The woman in front of me seemed so different then all the others, she almost seemed human.

"He doesn't really know I can revive others," Diego said. "He just knows I can revive myself."

"So you revived me, for what then?" Didyme asked.

"Because I saw how much Marcus missed you and loved you," I said.

She smiled at me and if she could've cried then she would've.

"Marcus," she murmured. Suddenly she grabbed her throat. "The thirst, the pain, where is it?" she asked.

"I guess it's a side-effect of being dead or being revived, you don't feel thirsty anymore. Bree and I aren't thirsty either, but it's a good thing. You have a lot more space in your mind now," Diego said.

"Bree?" I heard Aro suddenly yell from inside the building.

Anger was taking over me and I could feel it was coming from Didyme.

"Marcus is with him, we should go." Diego nodded and he took the woman's arm, leading her into the castle.

"Bree," she whispered.

"Yes?"

"Hold me back will you, I might jump at my brother when I see him."

I smiled at her. "I will."

Once the doors opened I could hear Marcus gasp and Aro turned around immediately.

Pitch black eyes met red ones and I took a hold of Didyme once she started to growl at Aro.

"But how?" he asked.

Diego smirked. "Guess you didn't know my true power." Aro blinked a few times.

"My boy, you can revive others too?" A new desire was revealed in his eyes, I was sure that he had lost some important vampires in the past and I already regretted asking him to revive Didyme. But when I looked at Marcus I was glad I had done it. Happiness filled the room and everyone could feel it know.

"Didyme," he murmured. The once strong and vengeful leader was gone and I could see a loving husband in the man.

"Marcus," she said. I let her go, because she didn't want to attack her brother anymore, she wanted to go to Marcus.

His arms were open before she laid her head upon his chest. His hands went through her long brown hair and he looked into her black eyes. "Ti amo," he whispered.

She cuddled herself into his neck and I wanted to jump for joy, the feeling was really overwhelming.

"No!" Aro screamed. It was for the first time that I had seen him lose his senses. He had always been calm but today was different. "I do not allow it! This is why I got rid of you in the first place! It's because he can feel emotions and you're always happy, you almost seem human. You are not going to leave Volterra! I forbid!"

"Got rid of her in the first place?" Marcus blinked a few times and looked from the woman in his arms to his brother-in-law. He searched for the emotional bond, only getting back hatred and not the love between a sister and a brother.

"You killed her?" Marcus shouted. He launched himself towards Aro who was pressed against the wall less than a second later.

"Brother, she's no good for you, you can see that. I wanted to save you from a life unknown, you have it good here, don't you?"

Marcus narrowed his eyes and spit some of his venom in Aro's face. "I've had it with you and your plans to conquer the world. You have what you want now, you have your powerful guard. I can't believe you kept my feelings closed for all these years, I should rip Chelsea's head off, I should rip yours off."

I was sure that everyone in the building was hearing him now and soon a big part of the guard was standing behind us, not knowing what to do.

"Didyme," Chelsea suddenly said. All the vampires looked at the woman that was standing behind her husband and brother with a scared look on her face. They knew her name, that was for sure and they all wondered how she could be alive again.

Demetri looked over to Diego. "You did this, didn't you?"

Diego smirked at him. "Guess my powers are better than yours." The short haired vampire gritted his teeth but stood still as Marcus spoke again.

"I will not kill you, since you are her brother, but don't expect me to ever come back, understood?"

Aro fell down to the ground and Jane ran over to him. Once she sat next to her master she looked up and threw an attack against Marcus. He fell down in pain and soon Jane was also against the wall. Her neck was in my hands and I could kill her if I wanted too.

"Bree, let her go, she's not worth it," Diego said with a calm voice.

I grabbed one of her arms and threw it to the other vampires. She screamed in horror.

"Now you know what pain feels like," I said to her.

She would get her arm back, of course, but it hurt when someone took a limb.

"We're going home." I said to Aro.

I walked out of the room, the guard was making room for us to leave, when suddenly Didyme called my name.

"Thank you, thank you both," she said while holding Marcus' hand.

I smiled at her and I knew they would leave too, they would finally find the happiness in each other.

Once I got in our room I took a bag and put my clothes in them while Diego was making sure we had a plane to leave.

When he was done I took the phone and called Edward. To my surprise someone else picked up the phone.

"Yes?" an angelic voice said. I didn't recognize the voice at first but soon I realized it was Renesmee.

"Nessie, is that you?"

"Don't act so surprised Bree, I'm still growing you know," she said. "Why do you call?"

"Tell your father we're coming home." Suddenly I heard her shouting and screaming, it seemed as if she was jumping up and down. "Mom, dad, Jake, Bree is coming home!"

~

We were sitting in the plane and we still had to fly two hours. The stewardess had already given us a strange look for not falling asleep at all but she left us alone.

"You know, you never told me what you got me in that shop in Seattle," I suddenly said. I didn't know why I was thinking of it, but it just popped up into my mind.

"I told you I would show it to you one day."

"Yes, but when is that?" I asked.

"Maybe now is a good time," he said while taking something out of his pocket. "Although I wanted it to be far more romantic."

He stood up and sat down on one knee in the middle of the hallway. The little box in his hands opened and a diamond ring was in it.

"Bree Tanner," he said. "You already know I love you and that I will never leave you. You're like my second half, you're my heart and I am yours. Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife, and stay with me forever?"

I was caught by surprise and a few people who were awake all looked into our direction.

"Bree?" he smiled at me and I could feel that he was nervous.

"Say yes!" a little boy suddenly yelled and I smiled at him while his mother held him close to her, trying to tell him he should be quiet.

"Well, I guess I should do as I am told," I said and Diego quickly pulled me out of my chair and kissed me while some people started to clap.
