A/N: Okay, I'm updating a total of twice a week, more or less. Since I have two stories updating currently that means each story gets updated once a week. I have a few other story ideas that I am working on. They will hopefully be ready before I catch up to where I am. Thanks for those of you that are reading, but especially to those that have, or are still, reading multiple of my stories.

Side Note: KRAlover, I heart that you review regularly. Thanks so much!

I do not own Twilight, I just play with the characters.

"It's been quite some time since I have affiliated with the Volturi," Carlisle comments.

"That's true, but one can never be too careful about these things," Draco responds.

"Have the Volturi interfered with the magical governments?" Esme speaks up.

"I suppose the best place to start is the beginning. Witches and wizards have gone missing as of late. At first it was only a few with hermit like tendencies, but lately those that have gone missing are members of the various ministries of magic around the world. The ministries have decided since then that the best way to go about protecting our kind is to form a sort of a special forces group to hunt down threats to our way of life and take care of them as the members see fit…" Bella starts her tale.

"So, you two are in that group?" Emmett interrupts.

"Don't be silly. We are just out of school. Actually, we tested out of our last year at school. Bella was approached because of her connection to Forks. I am here because we work really well together. She can take care of this one by herself. I just missed her," Draco's tone is even. He just has to get used to Emmett.

"I told you that they did not know anything," I can't help but feel smug.

"I never doubted you," Draco assures me as he raises my hand to his lips and kissed it.

"Know anything about what?" Edward sounds annoyed.

"About the disappearances and the involvement of your own government," for a vampire he sure is slow on the uptake.

"I assure you that we do not have any real ties with the Volturi. We do not share their views on many things, anything having to do with kidnapping other supernatural beings definitely falls under that," Carlisle sounds like he is trying to appease us, but he seems sincere all the same.

"Then that means that we can move on then," Draco is giving Edward the eye. Hmm, wonder what that is about. I will have to grill my dear boyfriend about that later.

"Move on to where?" Emmett asks.

"I don't think so. I mean, just because they are not in line with most of the other vampires in the world does not mean that the Volturi won't come to a 'friend' when they run into problems," I respond to Draco. Emmett stomps his foot like a little kid, which elicits a smack upside the head courtesy of his true love, Rose.

"You have a valid point. Witches and wizards do have medical needs that those stuffy vamps will not know how to handle," Draco chuckles at the thought of the Volturi trying to care for anyone.

"I am confused," Emmett throws up his hands in defeat.

"We don't know what they are doing with the missing witches and wizards. If anyone at the combined agency knows, they aren't telling. But there are very few vampire doctors. Actually, there is only one that we know about. And the Volturi would want to handle any problems they run into in house," I turn and look at Carlisle.

"That is certainly the truth. The Volturi would do everything in their power to handle things quietly," the good doctor agrees.

The possibilities are basically endless when you throw more than one supernatural being together. The Cullen family is as confused as we are though. It is nice to know that there are nice vampires out there. Not that a vampire hasn't been nice to Draco and me before, they have. It's just that they wanted something from us when they were nice.

Bella and Draco left a couple hours ago. The talk went…well, it went weird. I had no idea that the Volturi were collecting witches and wizards. The million dollar question is, what could they possibly want with those witches and wizards? I'll be damned if I know. Bella and Draco agreed that Carlisle will most likely be called upon by our ridiculously lavish government. What those two don't know is that they usually keep tabs on us because they want us to join their Elite Guard. Both Bella and Draco are smart enough to piece things together though. We need to be up front with them about that. Okay, we need a family meeting to discuss these things before we have another session with those two. I'm sure that Bella and Draco are talking about how things went too. That is, if they are even talking at all at this point. They are so touchy-feely. I love it. You can really see the effect each one has on the other.

Edward needs to watch out. Draco noticed his odd behavior. He needs to accept that Bella has a boyfriend and they are really happy. He keeps asking me about her future. I don't know how many times I have to tell him that I cannot see her or her boyfriend at all before he will commit it to memory. Who knew Edward would be so obsessive about any girl, let alone one that is not a vampire? Rose and I need to start looking for someone new for him to focus on. He is basically stalking Bella already. Eventually he is going to see waaaaaay more of Draco than what he ever wanted to. Carlisle has talked to him and we are all trying to get him to leave her alone. Rose is finding poetic justice in the situation though. Who can blame her? I mean Edward was an ass when she turned. He dismissed her without giving her a chance. Now he is getting a taste of his own medicine from Bella.

Back to the topic at hand, Alice. Man, I can have the attention span of a squirrel sometimes. Anyway, I wish we at least had a direction to look in about the Volturi's actions. What I really wish for is that I could see something about the missing witches and wizards. The whole surprise aspect of being friends with Bella is suddenly losing its appeal when it applies to a bigger picture. Damn, Edward was right. I did get tired of not being able to see her future a lot sooner than I thought I would.

A/N: Anyone think that Alice would ever admit that Edward was right? I don't think I would hold my breath…
