E.P.O.

“Hi im Scarlette and I believe that we have a common enemy” I couldn’t

contain a slight smile that edged around my mouth.

“I am Edward and this is my wife, Bella”

“I can introduce myself thank you Edward” she said a little heatedly.

“What do you mean we have a common enemy?”

My curiosity had been peaked.

“I mean that you two aren’t the only people on earth who have a bone to
pick with the Volturi” she sounded rather bitter.

“Well let’s get to our hotel and then you can tell us why exactly you’re here”

“I think that’s fair enough”

Damn he’s hot

“I must ask you to refrain from making remarks like that when I am in the
vicinity please”

“W..wh….what? You heard me?”

“Yes I did hear you I read minds”

Edward what did she say?

“Nothing you need to worry about love, now stop that or your going to tire
yourself out”

Edward Anthony Masen Cullen you tell me what she said right now or so
help me I will

“So are we going to move out or what?”

Im getting real bored

“My apologies my wife and I were having a discussion” and im sure it isn’t
over.

The ride to the hotel was uneventful other than the two girls. Bella kept
giving me evil glares and Scarlette was looking at me with I assume she
thought was a seductive look.

B.P.O.V

We were finally at the hotel, I turned to look at her at prepared myself to

start the interrogation of why she was here and what she had to do with the
Volturi.

“So you said something about the Volturi?”

My voice was dripping with acid but I couldn’t help it I still didn’t know
what she had been thinking, stupid, sexy, mind-reading vampire.

“Yes that is why I am here also wanted to confront them but I am ashamed to
admit that I do not have the guts to do it on my own”

She sounded extremely upset and my heart softened somewhat. I moved

across the room so that I could sit next to her on the couch and put a
comforting arm around her.

“Would you mind telling us why you want to confront them?”

“It’s a long story”

Edward chose to chip in

“Well none of us are getting any older are we?”

She chuckled weakly.

“It happened a few months ago. I was living with my partner Matthew and
sister Saphire. You guys would call us a coven I guess. We were living in a
part of Denali that was very remote other than animals that lived locally
which was fine for us because we had food and each other and that was all
we needed. We told friends that we were taking a holiday but in truth we
were in hiding.”

She paused to stifle a sob and quickly asked

“But why were you in hiding? Why lie to your friends?”

“Because my sister and I are twins and we are gifted. We can both control an
element. I control fire and she counters me controlling water. And not to
blow my own trumpet but these are quite powerful talents and well…

“You were hiding from the Volturi”

Edward had spoken for the first time since Scarlette had started talking and
he sounded almost as distraught as she did.

“Yes. But we should have known better than to try and hide from them
especially with Demetri on their side”

I nodded. I knew only to well of the Volturi and their many gifted members.
Demetri was a very gifted tracker.

“So what happened?” Edward asked his voice like velvet once again.

“It was late at night about a month after we had begun hiding. We were all
watching telly when all of a sudden Felix bust through the door. We tried to
run but the house was surrounded. Aro came to the front and said that if my
sister and I surrendered and joined them then they would spare Matthew. Of
course they were lying so we shouted our answer which of course was no
and said that if they didn’t leave then we would begin a fight. But while I
was shouting all this I hadn’t realised that Jane and Alec had grabbed
Matthew and pulled him to the front of the Volturi. We were told that we had
one last chance but Matthew stood there and began fighting so hard that they

She broke off with a loud sob.

“Take your time we can wait” I used the gentlest voice I could.

“They couldn’t control him so they killed him and that’s when I lost it. Fire
began shooting from every place on my body and I couldn’t stop it. Of
course Saphire managed to protect herself but while trying to do that she
was grabbed from behind and dragged away and I was left behind on my
own with a promise from Aro that this wasn’t over and that he would be
back.

With this sentence she broke down completely and began sobbing
uncontrollably in my arms.

I rocked her until she calmed down enough to be able to speak again.

“I’m sorry for that. I don’t usually break down in the arms of a stranger but
you are the first people I have told about what happened that night”

“Its fine, don’t apologise, after what those lowlifes did to you, you have
every right to cry and be angry for that matter”

I had become very defensive all of a sudden and felt very protective of this
girl. Though looking at her she couldn’t have been much younger than me.
Must just be a side effect of not having Renesmee with me (My heart
squeezed tightly at the sound of that name) I needed someone to show
affection to and this girl in need was perfect.

“Thank you so much. So now there’s one thing that I need to ask you

She looked into my eyes and she seemed to pleading with me

Will you help me?”

“Of course”

“Thank you so much but there is one more thing I must enquire”

“And what would that be?”

Once again Edward butted into the conversation.

I turned to look at her and braced myself for the words that were about to
pass my lips.

“They have our daughter”

Renesmee P.O.V

My mind was conscious again. I couldn’t remember anything other than

falling asleep then hours of nothing but burning pain. Wait burning pain?
Not right. I could hear sounds nearby. A clock chiming, a fountain splashing
and the soft rustle of clothes as somebody repositioned their stance. I
decided to open my eyes and take a look at who it was. I opened my eyes but
something was wrong. I was used to being able to hear everything but not
being able to see everything. Then I heard a faint laughter before everything
was blocked out by the searing pain inside my throat that felt like I had
walked the Sahara without water. Then realisation and comprehension
dawned. I wasn’t half human anymore.
