Personal Note: Sorry I haven't been around guys! I've been having a rough time in RL, first my computer crashed, then my Grandma died. I lost my inspiration for this story for a long time, but I think I've got it back now. I'm really unsure about this chapter, but it's more of a filler than anything, to get the juices flowing again. Anyways, enjoy.

Chapter 5 Prepare for the Worst

Peter's POV

I watched my little sis as she slept with her companions by her side. It was weird to see a vampire sleeping. Even weirder when she had two wolves on either side of her, a black fox curled up on her chest, and a Canadian lynx curled up on her shoulder. I had already thanked Jasper several times for putting her to sleep. Her pain had been so strong, when it hit Jasper, he couldn't stop his gift from projecting it throughout the entire castle.

I had to admit, it was good seeing Bella again, even if she was still 14. That thought made my venom boil, how dare Edward take my sister away from me. When my voices first told me what happened not even Char could calm me down. I had blacked out. When I had finally came back around I had destroyed half of the forest that surrounded our home.

Hey Petey, don't you have somewhere to be? Yeah, and don't you have a vampire to beat the shit out of? I rolled my eyes at my voices and started towards the game room. That big lug had killed someone that my sister had cared about deeply, and he would have to answer to me now. Jasper had told me earlier to hear the other male out before killing him, but I wasn't too sure I could do that.

With that thought in mind I crashed through the doors and threw the male named Emmett against the nearest wall, trapping him there with my hand wrapped around his neck. "You better explain, and explain quickly, why you though it was a good idea to kill one of my sister's friends?" I growled. His golden eyes widened as he gripped my wrist, no doubt he was surprised at my strength.

"Peter..." I heard my sire's voice say my name in a warning tone, but I was pissed. "Talk." I growled. The male struggled for a moment before going limp. "I just reacted." he muttered. I was pulled away from him by Jasper and the male continued, "I was mauled by a black bear in my human life. That's why I'm a vampire now. When I saw that bear, I just acted on instinct. I didn't realize that it was someone's pet." He finished.

I growled loudly. "She wasn't Isa's pet! She was her family." I snapped. I felt myself calm down and I growled at Jasper. "Sorry man, but you need it." He muttered. I glared at Emmett, "I'll let Isa deal with you." I spat. I turned to Charlotte and held out my hand, "C'mon darlin', lets hunt."

Isa's POV

I knew it was selfish to hope that I was dead. The nothingness in which I was floating sure seemed that way. It was peaceful. I couldn't feel the pain that came with Neti's death. When I watched that giant male kill my Neti it felt like someone punched a hole in my chest. I wanted to die with her. But then I remembered my other companions, Kett, Lupin, Alainn, and Rina. They needed me, and I needed them.

I also remembered my mates, Alec, Caius and Demetri. I couldn't let my pain affect them. I could feel myself leaving the blissful nothingness. As much as I wanted to stay in that state, I knew that I needed to come back to the waking world. My companions needed me, and I needed my mates.

My eyes finally fluttered open in the same moment I sat up. I was met with the sight of three sets of worried red eyes. I was aware of the feeling of something falling into my lap. I looked down and realized that Kett had been lying on my chest. When I had sat up he fell. "Oh, I'm sorry Kett." I said softly. He didn't reply, simply looked at me with tired, sorrowful eyes.

My mates were by my side in an instant, each of them cooing over me, asking how I was. Surprisingly I wasn't in that much pain. With the rest of my companions and my mates so close, the sorrow that I felt over my Neti's death wasn't as strong as I had thought. "I'm fine." I assured them all. Caius was the first to answer, "We were so worried." Demetri and Alec nodded in agreement. I smiled and pulled all three in for a hug. "Don't be. As long as I have you guys, and the others, I'll be fine." I said honestly.

I received a kiss from each of my mates. "You're eyes are black, love." Demetri purred. I sigh softly, I hadn't fed since I'd arrived, but I wasn't really in the mood to hunt. "I don't think I can." I muttered. The three shared a look before pulling me from the bed. "Come, my little wildling, let your mates show you how to truly hunt." With those words we took off through the halls, out the door, and deep into the forest.

We came to a stop as the wind blew a mouthwatering scent in our direction. Letting my instincts take over I followed the scents. There were 6 of them total, all men. I didn't even stop to notice anything else as I pounced on the closest one. My teeth sank into his neck and I was rewarded with the most delicious thing I had ever tasted. I was vaguely aware of my mates feasting on the other men, but I was too caught up with my meal to care. I would never hunt animals again.

Dora's POV

How dare that little trap take my man. Caius was mine. I should be the one everyone calls queen, not her. Not that child. I should have killed her when I had my hand wrapped around her slender little neck. But I wouldn't worry about that now. My old friend Maria called me. She had a plan, and an army. I would have my Caius back, and that little whore would be out of my hair for good.

I had known Maria for a long time before I met Caius. She was my oldest friend. I was the reason the brothers didn't kill her after the southern wars. She owed me, and now I would collect on her debt. She had told me that a male named Edward, who was the little bitch's maker, wanted her back. He had created a coven of gifted vampires, and was adding to it. Soon they would have enough to overthrow the Volturi.

I had made Maria promise that if I helped, Caius would be unharmed. I wouldn't help her if I couldn't have my mate back. She agreed quickly, and everything was set. I felt an evil grin spread across my face as I raced to meet her and this Edward person. Bella would pay for taking what was rightfully mine.

Aro's POV

I was elated when Isa came into our lives. She was just what this coven needed. Marcus showed me the bonds she was already making with the guard. The fact that she was Caius, Alec, and Demetri's mate only made me happier. I looked at young Isa as my daughter, which is why I had called this meeting while she slept.

"I have some very troubling news." I announced. "After we put Dora back together, I got something from her mind." I looked at Isa's mates, "You three aren't going to like this." I warned. Caius ground his teeth together, "Just get on with it brother, I would like to be at my mate's side when she wakes." He snapped. I sigh softly and rubbed my temple.

"She's planning on going to Maria." I said. "She wants Isa dead." I flinched as my brothers' growls vibrated off the walls of my study. "I knew we should have killed her!" Alec growled. His anger was palpable. "Yes well, there is nothing we can do about it now Alec. And besides, Maria wouldn't dare rise against us." I assured him.

Caius stood abruptly and growled, "I'm going to my mate's side now." I nodded and dismissed them; I knew that they would all need time to process what I had told them. Not soon after I heard them leave, taking Isa with them to hunt. I turned to Marcus. "What are we going to do brother?" His lifeless eyes looked up at me.

"We need to prepare for war." He rasped. I opened my mouth to assure him it wouldn't come to that but he cut me off, "We must prepare for the worst. Gather as many allies as we can. You may believe that Maria wouldn't rise against us, but I am not so sure." His ruby eyes hardened, "We must keep our Isa safe."

Maria's POV

I was more than happy to house Edward and his new coven, as well as help him build an army. I would finally get my revenge on the Major for killing my sisters, and leaving me. He was the reason I lost the southern wars. I would kill his captain and the captain's mate first. Then the Major's mate. I wouldn't kill Jasper though. No that would be too easy.

I shook my thoughts away as I entered Edward's quarters. "Edward querido, nos estará esperando compañía pronto." I purred. He looked up at me and raised a brow. "An old friend of mine, Dora, has agreed to help us." He sat up and looked at me, "Caius' wife?" I shook my head. "Not anymore. But I made her a deal. If she helps us, she can have Caius." I said with a smirk.

He ran his fingers through that sexy bronze hair of his and smirked, "Good. Now we have someone who knows the inner workings of the castle. She will be a valuable asset. You've done well." He stood from the bed and pulled me to him. His nose skimmed over my jawline and a soft purr burst from my chest. He chuckled softly, "You shall be greatly rewarded pet." He purred.

I had to fight myself not to laugh. Edward only thought he had control. And I let him think as much too. I tolerated him calling me pet. But he didn't know that I was in control. He though that he was the one using my body. He didn't know that sex was my biggest weapon. It was how I kept the Major with me for so long. No, Edward had no idea who was truly in control.

Marcus' POV

Isa was like a breath of fresh air for me. For a long time, ever since my Didyme's death, I have felt nothing but pain and sorrow. But the moment I saw that wildling of a vampire walk through those doors with her animal companions by her side, I began to feel again.

When I noticed the familial bonds between Isa and myself, I felt hope. Hope that perhaps I could know happiness again. In the short time she's been here, I've come to love my granddaughter more than life itself. I felt a need to protect her. When Aro announced that Dora was planning on going to Maria, my venom boiled with anger. It was refreshing to feel again.

I told Aro that we needed to prepare for a war. I knew that Maria was smart. But I also knew she was loyal. She was in Dora's debt, and no doubt Dora was ready to cash that in. Maria was the kind of vampire who would do anything to repay a debt, even if she knew better. Even so, I couldn't help but feel we were missing a major piece of information. Whatever that was, we would need to figure it out, and soon, before it was too late.
