Alice POV

I tried to get something I could use to help us when fighting the Volturi. Carlisle and Edward were contacting as many people as possible, along with the wolves. Beside me, Rosalie scowled. "I don't know why we're doing all this just to save one human."

I turned to her. "It's not just about Stephenie. The Volturi will keep returning until we show them that we're stronger than them. The Volturi will never forgive us for how we made them look like cowards last year."

She sighed. "I guess you're right."

I went back to focusing so I could see something. I got flashes of a future shopping trip and who the next president would be. I focused harder, centering my thoughts of the Volturi. I finally saw something. Aro was standing in front of a group of newborns, explaining the rules to them. There were five of them. I assumed these were the new humans Aro had changed. I couldn't tell what their powers were. I pushed my mind further into the scene...and then I lost it.

"Ugh!" I said, standing up.

"Alice, it's okay. Take a break," Edward said. "You've been looking for things nonstop. And at least you saw how many newborns he had. That's good."

"But it's not enough!" I groaned. "If we lose this, it'll be all my fault."

"It won't," Stephenie said. "By the way, are you and Jasper going to stay this time?"

"Of course," I said. "This battle will be more intense than last year. We have to be here."
