Chapter Ten
Kidnapped
As the Volturi walked away, Caius and Marcus noticed their brother's thoughtful expression. "You don't intend to just let this go, do you?" Caius asked.
"Of course not." Aro smirked. "They are too powerful to simply be left. They need to be put to proper use. Their power needs to be harnessed."
"You have a plan?" Marcus frowned.
"Indeed I do, brother. Indeed I do." Aro's red eyes glittered darkly.
It was nearing midnight and all the children were sound asleep in the guest rooms, apart from Kali and Guy who were in their own room.
The adults were all still sat around the roaring fire, sipping some Mulled Wine Arthur had made, or deer blood if they were Vampires.
"It's been such a hectic year." Ginny sighed. "What are your new year resolutions going to be?"
"Hmm, maybe to visit Bella and Jake." Hermione mused. "And to treasure every second with the twins."
"Leah and Hans went back this Christmas, didn't they?" Harry asked, taking a sip of his wine.
"Yeah, Leah wanted to show Sue Tala." Edward replied, smiling.
"Aww." The women chorused.
Suddenly, all the Vampires stiffened and became alert. They had smelled something.
"What did you guys smell?" Harry asked.
There was a dull thud and Kali screamed. At once, they all sprung into action.
The Vampires sped up the stairs before the humans and the humans all apperated. They met outside the twins' door.
Hermione shoved it open and gasped. Aro, Marcus, Caius and a couple of the guards were standing there. In Aro's arms was a crying Kali and Marcus was holding a struggling Guy.
"Let them go." Hermione hissed.
"And let an opportunity like this go? I don't think so." Aro smirked.
Emmett lunged at him, but found himself repelled backwards. "What?"
"One of the guards is a shield." Edward told him, still crouched.
The witches and wizards all pulled out their wands and began firing off spells at the barrier, trying in vain to break it.
"We'll be off now. Have a Happy New Year." Aro smirked as they vanished.
"Where did they go?" Hermione yelled, desperate to stop them.
"The other guard was a teleporter." Edward explained, feeling numb.
"No, no, no! My babies." Hermione wailed, sinking to the floor.
Edward kneeled next to his wife and brought her close to him. "Shh, Shh. We'll get them back."
Hermione gripped him tightly. "My babies. Kali, Guy." She cried.
Harry watched as his best friend slowly fell apart. He had never seen her like this, not since the war ended. Ginny let out a soft sob and buried her head in his chest. Harry's grip on her tightened. He couldn't imagine losing Ginny or James, not now.
Hermione sat on the floor with Edward until the sun came up. Her topaz eyes were darkened by sorrow and dead, her stature was defeated and she held Kali's teddy and Guy's bear close to her. She was inhaling the scent, trying to calm down.
Edward felt so helpless as Hermione grieved. He didn't know what to do, lost in his own grief.
Finally, after nearly the whole day, Hermione snapped out of her little trance. Her head shot up, her eyes as dark as night.
"Hermione, love?" Edward asked slowly.
Hermione didn't reply, instead she leapt up and tore downstairs. Everyone else had gone home except from Harry and Ginny. Molly had taken James back to the Burrow, understanding the couple's need to be with their friend.
"I have a plan. Do you still have the galleons?" Hermione asked Harry, referring to the galleons the Order had had made during the first war.
"Yeah, here." Harry pulled the coin out of his pocket as Ginny did the same with hers.
Hermione grinned. "Esme, can you get my phone please?"
Esme nodded and was back within seconds with Hermione's mobile.
Hermione grinned and looked at the two objects in her hands. "Perfect."
"What do you have planned?" Edward asked, curious and eager to help.
Hermione's grin turned into a smirk. "I think it's time we got the gang back together again."
