Chapter Fifty-Eight

*Renesmee's POV*

Grace, Masen, Nahuel, Seth, and I ran through the tunnels the best we could. At this point I had a feeling we were going to make it out one of the entrances.

"We're getting nowhere," Nahuel said, looking around furiously.

"Just wait five seconds," Masen replied, stepping forward. I could tell he wasn't in the mood to be around Nahuel since he's never really liked him.

"Ness, are you sure this is the way?" Grace asked me. "I'm not trying to doubt you, it's just…I'm confused myself. We've been going down the same identical tunnel for miles."

"I'm positive," I answered, looking forward with determination.

"My connection with Lizzy is growing stronger," Masen told us, looking above.

"I can feel her too," Seth added quietly, looking around the area.

"Then we have to be close," I muttered, walking forward. There was a staleness in the air that sent shivers down everyone's spines.

"This reminds me too much of a video game I played with Aidan and Jen," Seth mumbled, looking around.

"You guys gotta stop playing those damned things too much," Masen remarked quietly. "This place does remind me of those tunnels under Paris. The ones from the Hunchback of Notredame."

"Whose the hypocrite now," Seth shot back, causing Masen to narrow his eyes.

"Come on boys. Now's not the time for this," Grace scolded, pushing them both forward.

"I think I see something," Nahuel said, motioning to a ladder in front of us.

"Told you," I sung heading to where the entrance was. The opening was covered by a latch in the ceiling.

"Who goes first?" Seth asked.

"If we want to get traditional, ladies first," Nahuel said, motioning to me.

"Well I did find it," I murmured as I began to climb the ladder up.

"Babies," Grace remarked dryly as she walked past the boys to follow me up. I kept climbing until I reached the latch, which wasn't too far. It took me a couple of turns until I finally opened it wide.

When I reached up there, I noticed we were in a small dark space. "What's up there, sis?" Masen asked me from own below.

"We're in a small room," I said, reaching out to touch the walls. "Hold on, there's another door."

As I fiddled around, I finally was able to find a latch that pushed whatever door it was forward. When I entered the bright room, my eyes stung for a few moment before I was able to comprehend what was happening around us. I could see there was a blue bed in the center of the room and a bookshelf filled with various adventure books. I took a closer look to see it was that of a child.

"Where the hell are we?" Nahuel said, looking around.

"It must be one of Aro's son's rooms," Masen said, his eyes scanning the place.

"It is," I answered, gently picking up the stuffed rabbit off the bed. It was worn, one eye missing and a hole in the ear.

"Someone loved this bunny," Grace mused softly as I handed off to my friend.

"Now that we're in here, what's the plan?" Nahuel asked, looking around.

Before I could respond, I could clearly make out Lily's scream in my ears. I felt the nerves bubble in my chest as I whipped around. "Ethan!" She shouted.

Masen and I both looked at one another before saying, "Lily."

The two of us were then running out of the room in a mad dash, not caring about anything as we tried to find the source of the screaming. I could smell blood. Not human blood, but it was blood alright.

"That's Lux Lamia blood," Masen informed me, his face somehow growing paler.

"Come on," I said, dragging my brother forward. We kept running until we came across the scene. The others were there, but my eyes focused on the image before me. Lily was on the floor with Ethan cradled in her arms. There was blood pouring from his shirt as he violently shook. Everyone else gathered around looking scared.

"Ethan," Masen whispered, announcing our presence in the room. He was about to run to his best friends, but he was stopped by a lightening bolt hitting his feet. We both look up to see Antonio and a witch.

Immediately a snarl overtook Masen as he threw Grace behind him, "You!"

"Ah yes, Masen Cullen. What a lovely surprise," Antonio said dryly. "And it looks like my knife didn't do justice for young Grace Martin I see."

Grace growled, "You are the reason my grandmother is dead!"

"Well, she didn't have to give her life up for yours," Antonino said, eyeing the blonde.

"Let me at him," Grace shouted.

"What did you do to him!?" Lily cried out as she desperately tried to stop the bleeding with none other than Lucas Rider. I felt a rush of adrenaline overcome me seeing the long lost brother of Ethan, trying to help his big brother desperately.

"It's all Rowena's doing," Antonio explained, gesturing to the witch who was concentrated on Ethan's body. "A simple blood spell where she'll slowly destroy him from the inside out."

"Stop it!" Lily shrieked, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Just stop!"

"Not until the masters come and deal with you," Antonio said simply.

"Oh Tony, you dirty, dirty old dog," Lucas spat, his eyes blazing with furry. "I have been very easy these last two years but if my brother dies I have no problem tearing you and every Volturi guard from the inside out. Is that clear?"

"With what, your shield Rider?" Antonio spat. "You haven't used your power in years. We all know this you coward."

"Hey, don't call him a coward," spoke a new voice. I look to see a brunette with wild curls and fiery gray eyes stare him down.

"Abrianna, putting on a show for your family I see?" Antonio snarled.

"Abby?" I whispered, causing the brunette to look at me with a softer expression.

"Nessie," she replied, smiling warmly.

"That's Abby!?" Seth exclaimed, shocked to see the brunette he once saw as a small child. "Damn…"

"That's what I said!" Aidan cried out, earning a nudge in the ribs from Jen.

"You hide your glorious power for the last two years!" Antonio spat, egging Abby on. "Your father had real hopes for you, you know. If you behaved well you could've joined your brothers beside him on the throne. You could've taken over the entire supernatural world. Everyone would have to listen to your will."

"He's. Not. My. Father," Abby hissed through gritted teeth. She was going to attack him, I could see it. In that moment I saw so much of Serena in her, something I wished I would never have to see but she had her mother's fiery tendencies.

"Stop, Abby," Grace said, causing the girl to cool. My blonde haired friend stood up to the plate with her blue eyes blazing. "He's mine."

"Grace," I warned, watching my best friend stare him down.

"No, Ness. This is between me and Antonio," Grace stated, getting ready to attack him.

"Not without my help," Masen added, coming to his fiancé's side.

"I wanna return the favor," Grace said, her hands clenched in fists. "To the man who killed me and almost ruined everything."

"With pleasure," Antonino snarled as she, Masen, and him began to fight. Meanwhile, I ran to where Lily was with Ethan and Lucas.

"How's he doing?" I asked worriedly.

"Not well," Lily answered, her voice strained. "We left the twins, Jo, and Caleb in the fight. He- Ethan, he sensed Lucas and ran for him. We came here and, and-"

"I'm so sorry," Lucas whispered as he looked up at Lily. He was currently holding on tightly to his brother's hand. "I'm so sorry."

"It's not your fault, so shut up Rider," Lily told him harshly. I looked at Ethan, who was starring at his own brother with tears in his eyes.

"We need Dru," said a new voice. I looked up to see a blonde woman, hovering around two small boys that stared at me with curiosity.

"That we do," Abby agreed, looking at me. Before she could say another word, I wrapped my arms tightly around the brown haired girl. She was surprised, but none the less she hugged me as tight as she could.

"I'm so sorry, Abby," I said, kissing the top of her head. "For everything."

"It's not your fault," Abby replied as we broke apart. Tears were in her eyes, "We're all together now, aren't we?"

"True," I replied, the tears welling up in my eyes. "Do you know where Lizzy is?" The anticipation to know where my sister was wracking me.

"I don't know," Abby replied worriedly. "We were trying to find her and Bo, my little brother, but we haven't found them yet."

"You are going to pay!" Grace roared, causing all of us to watch the scene for us. I watched with wide eyes as my best friend and brother kept fighting Antonino. As it happened, Rowena broke concentration, to look at Masen. I watched as my brother kept taunting the witch, trying to get her to fight back. I was ready to yell at my brother to stop it, but that's when I noticed it caused Ethan to stop shaking.

"Ethan?" Lily whispered. He looked up at her, breathing heavily, before his eyelids began to droop. "Ethan!"

"Bring it on witch!" Masen taunted.

"Silly boy," Rowena hissed, shooting a bolt of a spell. I watched in horror as my brother's body went flying.

"Masen!" I screamed, running towards his flown body. Grace even stopped her fight with Antonio to see, only to be hit in the back of the head, causing her to roll on the ground.

"Grace!" Jen exclaimed as she and Aidan ran to help my friend up. Grace still had an angered look in her blue eyes.

"Oh that's it," Abby roared, raising her hands up. "Looks like we're going to have a freaking barbecue!"

"Not so fast, Abrianna."

That chilling voice made us all stop. I look up to see it's Aro, Caius, Marcus, Demetri, Jane, and Alec. My brother groaned as I held him protectively in my arms. All of us frozen where we were.

"We're in trouble, aren't we?" One of the young boys squeaked.

Aro nodded his head grimly, "Very big trouble."

*Lizzy's POV*

I had been laying in bed with Felix. Stuck in the euphoria we had been the last couple of days. Just the two of us enjoying our company. We were reading from the comic book he had, my head in his lap as he read the words out loud to me.

"What a poetic piece of literature," I remarked as Felix finished the final sentence of the comic.

"I have to say," Felix replied, chuckling as he placed it onto the bedside. "Demetri has a good taste in reading material, considering he's been around for more than a thousand years."

I snorted in laughter at this, lifting myself off his lap to press my lips to his. The two of us kept kissing. That's when it started. The moment we heard the noise, we headed towards the window.

"Lizzy!" a voice screamed. I looked at Felix who frantically rushed to the door, opening it wide for Bo.

"Bo! What is it?" I asked, kneeling down in front of the youngest Volturi child. I placed my hands on his shoulders as an act of comfort while he looked at me with fear in his bright blue eyes.

"I got separated from Stef and Wes! I don't know what's going on!" Bo cried to me. I hushed the child quickly and brought him into my arms. I then looked up at Felix who had a grim expression on his face.

"Your family's here," Felix said, looking towards the window. "It has to be. There isn't anyone else who would have the guts to storm this castle. And hey, I give them props for the amount of gunfire they have."

"You need to go. I'm sure they're looking for you," I told Felix worriedly.

"Not until I know you and Bo are safe, Little Cullen," Felix said as he quickly went to put on his robes. Once Felix was ready, I grabbed whatever I could and carried Bo on my hip. Meanwhile Felix floated around us like a protective statue, ready to take anyone down that would lay a hand upon the two of us.

"Everyone's in a mad dash to get out of here or fight," I said to him as we rushed down the hallway.

"Felix!" Heidi shouted down the hallway. I immediately froze with Bo in my arms as the beauty of the Volturi came rushing towards us.

"What's going on?" Felix asked her in a rush.

"The Cullen's are here," Heidi said as she then looked towards me. Suddenly her red eyes were a lot more fierce. I felt guilt wrack through my body. "Where are you taking her?"

"To Antonino. He's asking to see them," Felix explained cooly.

Heidi nodded and pointed in another direction, "He's that way, but I'm sure the masters need you fighting."

"Of course," Felix answered firmly. "Once I'm done with this job."

Heidi gave me a hard cold stare before rushing into battle. I then looked at Felix as he grabbed my hand and dragged me towards one of the empty corridors.

"You're going to get in trouble!" I hissed as we got away from all the chaos.

"I'll be fine," Felix said, brushing it off.

"I'm worried," I whispered, biting my lip.

Felix looked at me with sad red eyes. He placed his hands on my shoulder, ready to say something to me, but then I heard, "Lizzy?"

The voice was laced with uncertainty. However, to me it was familiar and yet so distant at the same time. I turn around to see the figure of a wolf I had known since I was a child. My breath hitched. "Jacob?" I whispered, placing Bo down on the ground so I could stare at him. He hadn't changed since I last saw him. I mean, why would he? He was the same old Jacob.

A soft smile appeared on his face, "Yeah, Lizzy…You, you grew up."

"Jake," I breathed in relief as I then ran straight for my girlfriend's imprint. He brought me into a tight hug and I couldn't help but feel a large weight be lifted from my shoulders. "I can't believe it, you guys are really here?" I asked, looking at him as we pulled away.

"Yeah. We're all here," Jacob told me, his grin growing wider. "Aw man, Ness is going to be so happy when she sees you."

"Nessie," I squeaked, feeling the tears prick my eyes. "Where is she? Why isn't she with you?"

"We got separated," Jacob explained woefully. "But don't worry, she wasn't alone. Anyway, we should regroup back with the others. I kind of caught your scent and ran off without them."

"Yes, of course," I said, feeling the excitement overcome me. I then turned around and saw Felix and Bo standing before me.

"Is this Seth?" Bo asked me innocently.

"No," I said, smiling while Jacob chuckled at this. "This is my sister Renesmee's wolf, Jacob. He's friends with Seth who you'll meet very soon. I promise."

"I've always wanted to meet a wolf," Bo said approaching Jacob. "You don't look much like one though."

"That's because I haven't transformed yet," Jacob quipped, causing Bo to smile at Jake.

"Looks like he's going to fit in quite well with your family," Felix said, causing me to pause as I look at him.

"Come with us," I pleaded softly. "You…Come with us. You'll be safe there and…"

"You and I both know I can't do that, Little Cullen," Felix said, looking at me with gentle eyes. "I have to stay here…I can't go. I made a promise to my masters."

"And you made a promise to me," I pointed out, grabbing both of his hands. "So come with us. It'll be fine…"

"I wish I could, Elizabelle," he said, cupping my cheek. "But I don't belong there. That's a world I never belonged to, but you do."

I stammered, "But…But then…."

"I know. It's okay," He said, nodding his head at me. His red eyes pleading, "Listen to me, go and be with you family and be happy. Forget about me."

"I won't forget you. I can't," I whispered through tears as I cupped his cheeks. "I…I love you."

"Now you tell me?" Felix teased, causing me to let out a watery chuckle.

"Bo, I need you to do what we talked about earlier…" I said to the young boy through my power.

"Are you sure, Lizzy?"

I paused, swallowing hard. "Yes."

With that, I pressed my lips firmly to Felix's and kissed him long and hard. I tried the best to take it in as much as I could. The way it felt, the way I felt. As we pulled apart, he smiled at me.

"I'm sorry," I whispered to him.

As I let go of him, Felix was left there frozen. I look towards Bo who was very focused on the Volturi guard. Once he was through Bo looked at me with sad, blue eyes. "He won't remember a thing," he told me softly.

I then nod before turning to Jacob who looked at me with a shocked expression on his face.

"Don't tell the others," I pleaded to him harshly. "Please."

Before Jacob could even respond, Dru came rambling into the room, "Jacob! You can't just go all willy nilly by your- Oh! Lizzy! Bo! Thank the heavens you're alright!"

"Come on," I said, marching forward. The lump in my throat growing as I tried to prevent the tears leaking from my eyes. "I want to give these people a piece of my bloody mind!"

"Alright then," Dru said, clearly unsure of what had just happened. Without another word she scooped Bo up and followed me with Jacob. Leaving Felix all alone to his new thoughts. My entire body was on fire, but I didn't care. It would be the only way to protect him.

"They were this way," Jacob told me, pointing in a direction. I could tell he was uncomfortable, not sure what to say.

"Thanks," I said, marching in the direction he motioned to. I could hear a ton of screaming and I was getting worried, wondering if they were my family.

As we ran into the room, I immediately saw it was filled to the brim with my family. I frowned, noticing Abby who was in the center of this all.

"Elizabelle! So kind of you to finally join us!" Aro crooned, causing me to look where the brothers were all standing. I stood my ground, my fists clenched. "At least we get all of you in one shot."

"You can't be serious," I snarled, rolling the sleeves of my sweater up.

"Lizzy?" a voice choked my name out. I turned around and right away I saw my older sister. She was helping my brother up from the rubble. Tears were in her eyes and Masen's as they stared at me as if I were some ghost. Some long lost being they so desperately wished to see.

"Nessie! Masen!" I cried out. I was ready to run to my siblings when a rumble ripped through the entire castle. I fell back towards Abby, the two of us trying to collect what was happening.

"We aren't finished here," Aro stated icily. "We have a lot to talk about."
