Chapter 47

The next day the Cullen's stood outside their house.

"Bella do you have your shield up?" Haley asked.

Bella nodded.

"I can make it stronger if you like. I can make it have the strength to withstand mental and physical attacks until the Volturi leave."

Bella smiled. "Thank you."

Haley smiled and closed her eyes for a second. "Done."

Edward suddenly growled. "They are coming."

Through the trees came The Volturi.

"Hello Aro."

"Carlisle." Aro replied.

"We heard there were two new members of your coven and came to investigate." Caius said. "Can you tell them to step forward Carlisle."

Carlisle nodded and told Haley and Will to step forward.

Aro, Caius and Marcus laughed as they saw them.

"Why is this the Haley that we've heard so much about from the rumors?" Aro said. "You don't look at all dangerous. I expected someone who looked dangerous."

Caius frowned. "Her eyes are very unusual though. Silver with purple streaks in them. I didn't expect to see that. It's very strange."

Aro nodded in agreement. "Yes very strange. But I will admit that they are beautiful though."

Marcus tilted his head. "Edward can you step beside Haley please."

Edward nodded and as he stood beside Haley a shocked expression crossed over Marcus's face.

"Twins!"

Edward nodded. "She's my baby sister."

"May I have a look?" Aro asked.

"You have to ask her." Edward replied.

Haley looked at Edward. "Ask me what?"

"Aro can look at all your memories." Edward explained. "Just by one touch."

Aro smiled and held out his hand. "May I?"

Haley looked to Edward in panic. 'Edward I don't want to do this.'

'You must.' He replied. 'Don't worry it will only take a second.'

Haley gulped and nodded slowly and stepped in front of Aro.

He then put his hand on hers.

Everything that had happened in the past years was now Aro's.

"Hmmm very interesting." Aro said. "You had such a poor start to this life didn't you? It explains why your eyes are silver. There very pretty." He laughed. "I would have loved to have met Tom."

"May I go back?" Haley asked.

"Not just yet." Aro said. "I would like to meet your young husband William."

Haley turned to look at Will.

She could tell by his expression that he was very worried.

She tried to smile to reassure him but didn't think it looked that way.

As he stepped forward Haley stepped aside as Aro looked at his memories.

Aro laughed a minute later. "My, my, my we have a very powerful coven in our midst. Very powerful. It seems that Haley and Will are the strongest here."

"Why is that?" Caius asked.

"Because Haley here has every ability that you can imagine. And Will here is a psychic and a very powerful psychic as well. And he can even change vampires into humans and back again. Even their children are powerful."

Haley growled. "Leave them out of this."

"I won't harm them. I promise you that they won't come to any sort of harm." Aro replied. "Would you like to join our coven? We can defiantly use someone like you and with your talents."

Haley shook her head. "No thank you."

"Pity." He looked from Haley to Will. "Would you like to join us young William?"

Will also shook his head. "No thank you."

"You may go. We will leave you now."

After they left Haley turned to Carlisle and said. "Carlisle I'm worried about Riley, Alex and Sam's safety. I don't trust the Volturi's word."

Carlisle nodded. "So am I. We have to get to them before they do."

"We have to contact them and tell them to come straight here." Will said.

Haley ran to the phone and quickly dialed a number.

As soon as it rang someone answered it. "Hello?"

"Samantha is that you?"

"Hey mum. Yeah it is. What's wrong?"

"Tell your brother and sister to come straight home. Please." Haley explained. "I don't have time to explain it all to you right now. Grab them and orb yourself here and please hurry."

After she hanged up the phone she turned to her family. "There coming."

Within seconds Riley, Alexandra and Samantha had orbed into the room.

"What's going on?" Alexandra asked immediately.

"You might be in danger." Carlisle said.

"Danger is my middle name!" Riley boomed.

Haley rolled her eyes. 'Has he been speaking to Emmett?'

Edward chuckled.

"Grandpa why are we in danger?" Samantha asked.

"What's going on?" Alexandra asked.

"The Volturi heard about your parents and wanted to see them." Carlisle explained. "Aro wanted to look at Haley's memories and caught a glimpse of you. We think that he might want to get to you through Haley so that she and Will joins there coven."

Alexandra gasped. "But you never will won't you mother, father. You'll never leave this family to join with the Volturi?"

Haley smiled. "No. I would never."

"Mother why is it since you've been turned your always in danger?" Samantha asked.

Haley sighed. 'She's looking into my past.'

'You might as well tell them.' Edward said. 'They should know about this.'

She sighed again. "Because being a vampire is tough."

Edward rolled his eyes. 'That's not what I had in mind.'

'Well it's better than frightening them isn't it.' Haley replied.

"Tom has been after you ever since we left hasn't he?" Riley asked.

"His been after me since the moment I met him."

Suddenly Alice gasped.

"What is it?" Jasper asked.

Alice turned to Haley. "Aro lied to you Haley."

"That's not the first time." Edward said.

Haley ignored Edward's comment. "Why what happened?"

"He said that he wouldn't go looking for Sam, Riley and Alex but he lied. He sent Jane, Demetri and Felix to go and get them. They are coming here in four days."

Riley growled. "That gives us enough time to practice with our abilities."

Haley shook her head. "No you will not be fighting if it comes to it."

"Haley they are strong. Besides you can teach Sam." Edward said.

"We want to fight." Riley, Sam and Alex said together.

Haley rolled her eyes. "Fine."
