A/N: So, here we go. Enjoy!

Bones90 – Thanks for reviewing, even if you are not still reading.

I do not own any of these fandoms, I just play with the characters.

I find that it is hard to be enemies with the Cullen family. Despite the short amount of time I have known them, it still feels like I'm shunning family. It just feels wrong. Draco agrees with me. Well, not so much agrees as he really understands and supports it. He did not get a good chance to get to know them before…

It took a great deal of persuasion to get the council to let us stay here. They wanted to recall us and see our gathered memories to use as intelligence reports. While that is not pleasant in the best of circumstances, it would have proved particularly embarrassing. I mean, come on. It's worse than having your diary read aloud. Not to mention the fact that others in your memory might have expected the conversation or incident to remain between the two of you. I am too fond of the Cullen family to let anyone take out one of my memories with them, let alone them all. In the end, Draco and I had to pull out the prejudice card. People make assumptions about members the magical community based solely on the group we are affiliated with. The reign of the Dark Lord has tainted the way most view us now. We told them that they were doing the same thing. Shaming someone into keeping your privacy almost does not feel bad at all. Not that I am protecting the Cullen family from anything actually. They have done nothing wrong and are not affiliated with their government anymore. Wouldn't that be nice to say too?

Why is it that the different magical governments all agree on this one thing? It strikes me as odd. Something is definitely going on. I'm not the only one who thinks so. Sarah feels it. Draco feels it. We are going to bring in some of our friends to see what they think. Something stinks in the state of Denmark. There is a disturbance in the force. However you put it, it all amounts to the same thing in the end. All there is to do is the waiting, I guess.

I have seen how this will play out. Okay, I saw the vision that Jareth had. It still stings to have Bella, Sarah, and Draco ignore us. They have to, I know. I don't blame them really. Their version of the Volturi is keeping a close watch over their behavior while they remain here. I'm surprised that they were not called back to the fold, so to speak. I wonder how they swung that. It's not long now though, before things change again.

"Anything?" Edward asks for possibly the bazillionth time.

"Nothing new," I tell him. Then to make it harder for him I sing the Battle Hymn of the Republic in as many languages as I can think of.

"You aren't telling me something," he accuses before stalking off.

I didn't lie. I haven't seen anything new since the weird experience with my vision of the Goblin King. I just haven't told him all of what I saw in the vision…or that I saw him getting married. He will just have to figure out the second one on his own even if he can be incredibly dense about the whole thing. As for the first one, it is really better if he does not see it coming. He would really rail against his part to play and that part is too important for him to mess up. I will not say one word to anyone in my family about what we are going to be doing in the coming conflict or sorts.

The hard part is keeping the secret from Jazz. He loves me, so he respects the fact that I cannot tell. I think it still hurts his feelings though. I have explained to him that I trust him. It's just that he will be much better off not knowing. That did not go over really well. He is kind of sulking. I will just have to distract him then.

BELLA

It's official. The Volturi are kidnapping witches and wizards that they think are on the fringe. Why? Well, because they want to see how our magic transfers into the afterlife. Those morons have always had a lust for power. At least that is what my research on them has shown. Also, something is still going on in the magical community. The only thing keeping us here is the connection that Carlisle had with the Volturi. It's better than nothing. We need to stay here until our friends get here. Then we will convene and discuss. Fortunately, thanks to the ridiculously dangerous tournament that magical schools participate in, our friend base is far-reaching.

That tournament used to be just three schools. However, as the years have passed and more schools have become centers of their respective areas, it has grown to encompass several more. How funny would it be if the magical governments push to have the tournament despite pleas against it will lead to their demise should they prove corrupt? I'm willing to bet that they are corrupt. That is why things feel too scripted about this. Where would the Volturi even find out about us? Let alone come up with a plan to exploit our blood? Okay, I can admit that they would probably consider it. They would not go to the lengths of kidnapping several though without trying their little experiment on one. It would draw too much attention. They would not risk it unless they were very sure of a payout being worth it.

Most of our contacts will arrive throughout the day tomorrow. Sadly, it is a school day. We will just have to skip. Charlie is handling everything pretty well, even the many visitors on their way. We will have to be very careful not to raise any suspicions though. We are being watched. Not all of our friends are in our magical community though, so that should help us stay under the radar as much as we can.

A/N: Thanks for reading! Review if you please. Are you guys still with me?
