Uncle Sev came into the room and saw me packing.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"I have to lure them away from here. They're hurting everyone I love to get to me. I have to go."
He grabbed my shoulders.
"No you don't. Trixie, look at me. I understand the way you feel. I would feel the same way. But you can't leave the people you love. They would follow you whether you see them or not."
I cried in his arms.
"I'm scared, Uncle Sev. I don't know what to do. I can't handle it anymore. What if something happens to the brothers; to Jane or Demetri? I wouldn't be able to live with it."
"Trixie, you know nothing will happen to the brothers. You know out of all of us how strong they are. Plus, you know how stubborn Caius is."
I laughed a little.
"What do I do, Uncle Sev? I can't take much more. It's driving me crazy. I even told Elrond that I can't do the princess thing."
"What? Why?"
"He wants me to choose between Aro, Marcus, and Caius. I can't do that."
"Trixie, listen to me. If they keep coming, we keep fighting."
I sat down and put my head in my hands. Uncle Sev sat beside me. A student ran in.
"Professor, something is wrong with the headmaster!"
I then fell to my knees. I cried out in pain.
"Trixie? What's wrong?"
"It's the five! I can't…"
I passed out from the pain. I woke up on a bed in Uncle Sev's quarters. Carlisle was on the bed next to mine. He was already sitting up and talking with Caius.
"Trixie! You're awake!" Marcus yelled.
The brothers ran over to my bed. I looked out the window.
"You're not still thinking about doing it, are you?" Uncle Sev asked.
"Doing what?" Carlisle asked.
"She wanted to leave so she could lure the enemies away from here. I caught her packing this morning."
Carlisle ran over to me.
Trixie, are you nuts? You can't leave me."
"Carlie, I'm scared. I don't know what else to do. They're going after Esme now too."
I cried in his arms.
"I know, Trixie. I'm scared too. But we have each other. That is all we need. We also have friends and family."
"Carlie, I can't lose you. I can't lose them."
"You won't lose us. Caius and Emmett are alike in a way. They are both stubborn."
Caius mock growled. Emmett giggled. We all looked at him.
"I just realized something. The Volturi brothers will be our uncles."
I giggled. Carlisle laughed at that.
"I hadn't realized that either."
I ran over and hugged Emmett.
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"For making me laugh. I needed that."
"You're quite welcome, little lady."
"Hey! That's my line! I'm the cowboy!" Jasper complained.
They started to wrestle.
"Take it outside boys."
"Hey, at least I am her favorite nephew." Jasper said.
"Nuh-uh. I am."
They ran out the door. I giggled. The three brothers walked over to me.
"Come on. Let's see who wins the wrestling match." I said.
We ran outside. Emmett was sitting on top of Jasper. But Jasper made him cry and run into Rose's arms.
"Hey! That's not fair!"
"All's fair in love and war, brother."
We laughed.
