Chapter 20

Fusedtwilight: Thanks to animegirlkiki for betaing, thanks to everyone who reviwed..

Thins start to heat up this chapter, Jack and Nikki have danger coming from all sides, can they survive.

Jack P.O.V

“So what was your father like?” Nikki asked.

We laid together on the top of the building, we had been doing nothing but making out.....it was AWESOME!

It was kind of weird at first; vampire kisses are different than human kisses. Human kisses are soft and barely make a sound, but since we have rock hard lips when we kiss it makes these sounds like rocks hitting one another, a little distracting at first but you learn to ignore it.

I never kissed a girl nor even had a girlfriend. Growing up I was too busy taking care of mom to worry about girls. But now I had nothing to worry about.

We had been watching the night time sky. It was beautiful; you could see the stars and the moon which was in its crescent form. I had to wonder if the humans ever looked up beyond their buildings and glass and realized the amazing view they had.

I was a little taken aback at her question. I had not thought of my dad in a long time.

“I don't know. He left when I was really young. I barely remember him,” I said.

“Why did he leave?”

“Couldn't take my mom's shit any more, she drove him off and fought him tooth and nail when he tried to take me with him. Kind of wish he would have fought harder.”

“Maybe he thought if he gave you over she would calm down, maybe he thought motherhood would help her straighten herself out.”

I scowled. I brought my arms and glared at the sky.

“I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you,” she said.

“No, it's not you; I just try not to think of him you know. I mean he left, he should have called every once in a while, he should have kept track of me. He knew she was an alcoholic, he knew she had major issues, how could he leave me with her? Maybe if he had been smarter, maybe if he had the balls to stand up to her than....things might have been different.”

She pulled my arms open and took my hand. “Don't worry, we have each other now, that is all we need.”

I smiled at her and she smiled back, I cannot wait until this war is over. Once it is we are so out of here. I don't know where we will go, but it is a big world. Who knows maybe we can find some vampires and get them to drink animal blood to and we could pose as a family like the Cullens do.

Nikki shuddered just then, her whole body trembled. “Nikki what's wrong?” I asked.

I had never seen her do that before, she was still slightly trembling.” Nikki what’s wrong?” I repeated.

We stood up and I helped keep her steady. “I'm, I'm fine it's just. God what is it?” she asked, she sounded a little scared.

“What? What is it?” I asked.

“Something...something is coming.”

“Is it your power?” I asked.

She nodded. “Yes. Something big and bad, really bad. God I have never felt anything like this before. We need to get to Maria now, something is coming, they are coming now and they are very, very, very bad news.”

“Is it a coven?”

“I don't know; I never got a sense of danger from the other covens like this. I think whatever is coming...is worse than any of the covens in Mexico.....and it's coming for us.”

“Come on, let’s go, we need to tell Maria,” I said.

We ran from the city and headed back to Maria, I knew Nikki was still nervous, I could see it in her eyes; I could tell from the way she played with the necklace I got her between her fingers.

As we ran I tried to think what could be worse than any coven in Mexico. Was it the wolves? Had they come after me all the way from Washington? No it can't be, after what happened last time they were too scared of me. Could it be the Cullen's? Could they be coming here? No not them. the Cullen's wouldn't affect Nikki like this, they were too peaceful.

Just then I remembered, a few months ago I had been in Carlisle's study, he was trying to go over some math with me.

Flashback

This blew, I mean why did I have to keep studying, I was a vampire for god's sake. When was I going to need to use math?

But everyone thought I should continue to study. They all took turns teaching me, Rose did mechanical stuff so she taught me that, Jasper and Carlisle taught me history, Carlisle also taught me biology. Emmett was my gym teacher, Esme taught me culinary and gardening.

They all took turns doing math, they all had dozens of college degrees in all kinds of fields. They all could teach at Yale or Harvard. Thing that sucked about being a vampire was no sick days so trying to pretend I was too sick to study was impossible.

Carlisle was going on and on about division and stuff but my attention was drawn to an old drawing on his wall. It was nighttime and three men were standing on a balcony, they overlooked a city, they dressed in black, and I knew they had to be vampires, they had red eyes.

“Ah, I see you noticed the painting,” Carlisle said.

“Yeah, much more interesting than math,” I said.

He chuckled. “They are the Volturi, Marcus, Caius and Aro.”

“Volturi? What the hell are the Volturi?” I asked.

“A very old and powerful coven. They are the closest thing to royalty our people have and they are the ones who enforce our rules.”

“Vampires have rules?” I had this image pop up in my head of a whole bunch of ancient vampires meeting in a great hall, like one of those ancient Roman senate places, one of them holding a thick book full or rules and regulations.

“Not many, but all very important. We must stay hidden, we must not reveal ourselves, we must not draw attention to ourselves, we must not turn children, we must not make treaties with werewolves and if a human learns of our existence than we must either kill the human or turn them.”

“Haven't you broken two of those rules?” I asked.

“No, the wolves are not true werewolves. They are shape-shifters. True werewolves, or children of the moon are almost extinct. One of the Volturi, Caius had a run in with one many years ago, it almost killed him, he convinced his brothers it best to kill them all so they have brought them to the brink of extinction. They are still out there, I am sure they have learned to stay hidden of course. As for you, you are young but you are not a child.”

“Why can't children younger than me be turned?” I asked.

He got a serious look on his face. “A long time ago there were many Covens of vampire's. Many of them had immortal children, child vampires. But they were wild and uncontrollable, they could not learn to control their vampire instincts, no matter how much time they had they could not master their instincts.”

“What happened?”

“Well not long after the Volturi came to power Aro found a few and studied them, he hoped he could find a way to help them. But nothing worked. So in the end they made the law that no immortal children were to be created under penalty of death. And that all immortal children were to be killed.”

“Were you there when it happened?” I asked.

“Me? No, it was before my time, long before my time. They hunted down all the children they could find and killed them. Many of the covens fought back of course, not willing to sacrifice their immortal children. So they died as well.”

“Jesus, these guys must be bad ass to keep all you guys in line,” I said.

“They are the largest coven in the world, they drink human blood but despite that they are very cultured, very refined. The leaders and their wives have a guard that serves them. All of them have gifts.”

“Gifts? Like me?” I asked.

“Yes. Only a few don't have gifts, but they make up for it with their fighting ability. That's what Aro does, he finds vampires with special gifts and collects them, adds them into his guard. Remember Eleazar?”

“Yes.”

“He was a member of the guard. His gift was very useful to Aro, he would send him out in the world to find vampires and humans with great potential and bring them to him. Have you heard of the incident last year?”

“Kind of.”

“Well when Nessie was born we had no idea such a being could exist, the Volturi were told we had created an immortal child and they came for her. We gathered friends and allies to witness her grow and testify she was not an immortal child.”

“And they left you alone right?”

“Well they would not have if Alice hadn't shown up with another hybrid telling them Nessie was not a danger.”

“But why would they kill you if she wasn't an immortal child?”

“Well like I said none of us knew about hybrids, not even the Volturi. They assumed she would be like them, but truthfully Aro hoped to use the situation to gather some more vampires into his coven.”

“You mean Edward and Alice?”

“Yes, Alice especially. Aro wants her more than anything else in this world, her power would be invaluable to him. He was hoping to use Nessie against us to get Edward and Alice to join him. But thanks to Bella and her gift he wanted to avoid the fight, they are so used to using their gifts in a fight you see and Bella made those gifts useless, Alice gave him an excuse to leave and he took it.”

“You seem to know an awful lot about them,” I said.

“I should, I lived with them for a few decades. I discovered them when I was studying medicine in Volterra.”

“Why did they take you in, you don't have a power.”

“No, but I had yellow eyes, I drank animal blood, they had never heard of such a thing. So they took me in, taught me of our people, our history. They tried to get me to drink human blood, tried to cure me.”

“What are they like? They sound scary.”

“They are. When they are hunting you, despite the fact they drink human blood I was amazed at how cultured and refined they were. All the other nomads I saw were wild things, but the Volturi…” he got this far away look in his eye.

“Do you think Aro would want me in his guard?”

“Oh yes. Especially if he finds out your power can get past Bella's shield. But if the Volturi ever come for you Jack, run. Don't try and fight run. They have ruled our world for millennium; they are experts on hunting and exterminating our kind. They are the vampires that other vampires fear. I can make you afraid to hear their name by telling you the stories of all the covens they have killed. They once nearly wiped out all the vampires in Mexico a time ago when they risked exposure. They are not evil or bad Jack, they are a necessity, only they have the power to keep our kind in line.”

“How can you say that? They are your friends and they tried to kill you,” I said.

“Yes but they keep us safe from humans. Just stay away from them and follow the rules Jack, because they can and will kill you if you break even one.”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That talk seemed so long ago. The only thing I could think of that was more dangerous than any coven in Mexico that could make Nikki's power go off like this was the Volturi. The vampires here must have made themselves to noticeable and the Volturi were coming to clean house.

You know what fuck this war, we go tell Maria the problem and we get the hell out of Mexico. We go someplace else, South America, anywhere but here, I don't care. We need to go.

We headed back to Maria's but Nikki suddenly stopped. “What is it?” I asked.

She looked in the direction Maria's camp was looking confused. “I don't know...something is going on...I can't focus whatever I am sensing is making it hard to concentrate.”

“Is it at Maria's?”

“No, but something is going on there, I can't focus right, too much interference by whatever is coming.”

“Let’s keep going then,” I said.

We continued running and I was missing Jasper now more than ever. If only he were here, he would know what to do.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jasper P.O.V

We were halfway in America now.

Me, Alice, Peter and Charlotte and the wolves. That's right, three wolves, Collin, Seth and even Brady.

As soon as I got home Alice had us leave to go for Mexico, she saw the Volturi were on their way there to kill every vampire they find. The wolves were an unexpected surprise.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flashback

We had just left the house, Seth and Collin were there and when they found out what was going on they decided to come with us.

“He is our friend, we want to come with you too,” Seth said.

“The more of us that will come the better you're chances will be to find him.”

I did not argue I had no time, Jake gave Seth permission to go, Collin did not call Sam to tell him, he would have not allowed it. We did not bring the others,the Volturi would be there and we had no time to gather more allies.

As we ran through the woods a howl sounded and I growled in frustration. A wolf came trotting through the woods; it was one of Sam's. He went into some bushes and came out human, it was Brady.

Seth and Collin growled and went behind a tree to phase and cloth themselves. “What are you doing Brady?” Seth asked.

“Following you guys,” he said

“Why?”

“I know what you are doing; I saw it in Collin's head.”

“Damn, you were always better at keeping quiet than me,” Collin said.

“If you try and stop us I will not hesitate to strike you down boy, so I suggest you move, you have already made a mess of things,” I said giving him my best threatening look.

He took two steps back in fear. “I know I messed things up for you and your family...that is why I want to come with you, I want to help you get him back.”

“What?” Collin said.

“You hate him!” Seth said.

“Look I know I was an idiot. These last few weeks I have had time to think what I did. I over reacted, and I was an idiot I know. I let my resentment and bitterness get the best of me, when I found out it was you who turned him it was like all those risks we took for you, all those times you said you were different, all of it was a lie. All the pain we have gone through being wolves because of you guys and you go and turn a kid...I snapped. But I want to help, I want to help bring him back, I promise I won’t get in your way.”

I sensed his sincerity, his regret. He was telling the truth.

“Okay, you may come,” I said.

“Thank you.”

“But if you do anything to jeopardize any of us I will kill you myself, understand?”

“Yes sir,” he said.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We ran as fast as we could, we had left hours ago, Brady's little talk had slowed us down a bit so we ran as fast as we could. “Damn it all to hell they are there!” Alice screamed.

We continued running. “The Volturi?”

“Yes, they have already begun.”

“Is Jack okay?”

“He's fine; no one knows the Volturi are there, they are being very quiet, very cloak and dagger. They know if the others find out they are there they will run and hide so they taking out the entire covens one by one.”

“Who's all there?”

“Felix, Dmitri, Chelsea, Corin, Afton, Santiago a dozen more guards and......”

“The twins are there aren't they?” I asked.

“Yes, Alec and Jane.”

I pushed myself harder. We all did, we had to get to Jack and soon. Who knows how much longer before they come for Maria and when they find her they will find Jack as well.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chelsea P.O.V

We arrived in Mexico and went straight to work.

Ever since Benito we have kept a watchful eye on Mexico. It had always been a trouble spot. We were right to watch this place. Once again mysterious disappearances and death tolls began to rise. All the signs pointed to newborns.

Aro sent us here, we took our private jet. The Volturi had influence in the human world. Master Aro gave us the usual instructions for this mission. Seek, destroy and recover. Kill every vampire in Mexico, and if we find any vampires with any useful talents I was to use my power to bring them over to our side.

We found one Coven hiding in the sewers of a city. We made quick work of them; I can't imagine how they could stand the smell. Afton was arguing with Jane, which was a very brave thing to do.

“Why did you let that vampire go Jane? He will alert the others.”

Jane sighed. “Exactly, he will be our guide, he knows where to find the other covens, it will be quicker to have the little maggot lead us to them.”

Her plan made sense. Demitri had the tenor of the vampires mind, it doesn't matter where he runs to, and we will find him. “Think we will find any new recruits?” Corin asked as tossed an arm into a fire.

The vampires did not know what hit them; Alec used his power so killing the coven had been easy.

“Sure, we got Santiago here,” Felix said clapping Santiago on the back.

Last time we came here Santiago had been a newborn created to fight in the wars. He fought Felix one on one, a nearly impossible feat unless you had a power to help you and even then it had to be a really powerful ability. Felix was always lucky in battle; no matter who he fought he was always seven steps ahead of his own opponent.

He was our unbeatable champion, not a single vampire had fought him in hand to hand combat and lived. Except Santiago. The only thing that kept Santiago alive was Felix, he had been so impressed with Santiago and his fighting ability he had us spare him and bring him to master Aro.

After of course we put him back together. Felix had torn him to pieces and stopped us from burning the pieces. We all watched amazed as Felix offered Santiago a chance to join the Volturi, I used my power of course, I barely used it, Santiago wanted to live and join the wining team. So we put him together, finished our job and brought him to Aro.

Aro was impressed and offered him a spot in the guard. Felix and he became fast friends, I thought it odd considering Felix had ripped him to pieces but that's boys for you. Felix became Santiago's mentor, showing him the in's and out's of being a vampire, helped him to hone his fighting abilities.

“I will be the judge this time. If we do find someone gifted they had best have a truly special ability,” Jane said.

I sighed, in that case I guess we truly were killing every vampire, Jane hated adding new members to the coven. She was so competitive.

In the guard the stronger you're power the higher the rank you have, Jane and Alec had the strongest powers so they were the highest ranked. I was right below them since my power was essential to keeping the guard together and helping adding new members.

I knew even if we found vampires with gifts Jane would see to it. I had to keep my eyes open and my wits sharp. I had to make sure I found those vampires first. If Jane found them than they were as good as dead.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nikki P.O.V

How does it feel when I sense danger?

It is like having someone run their fingers on my spine. Now it feels like someone is gripping it tight and squeezing.

The closer we got to Maria's the more I became sure something was wrong. Like I told Jack I could not tell exactly what, I just knew something was up, but the sense of this unknown danger was over loading my power.

We arrived and everything seemed fine. One of the vampires told Jack that Maria wanted to see him. We walked over to the church and found Maria and a few other vampires inside, but there was a new vampire. He was held on the floor, he was muttering in Spanish, he kept on going on about the darkness that was coming.

“Who the fuck is that?” Jack asked ever so eloquent.

“We found him wondering alone, he is from one of the other covens.”

“So why is he alive?”

“He might know something we don't, plus I want to know what has him acting like this, Jack use you're power on him,” Maria said.

I looked at Jack and he looked back at me. “What is wrong? Why do you look spooked?” Maria asked.

“Maria, something is coming, something worse than anything I have ever felt,” I said.

She cursed. “Are you sure?”

“Yes, whatever is coming is more dangerous than anything I have ever felt.”

“Than this thing must have encountered whatever is coming, but he won't talk. Jack I want you to use you're power on him, make him talk.”

“I don't torture Maria, I kill but I don't torture.”

“Jack we have an unknown threat heading our way and I want to know what we are dealing with.”

“Then shouldn't we run?” I asked.

“No! I have not come this far to be driven back. Jack, do as I say now!”

Jack growled at her. “I am not one of your lackeys Maria.”

Yeah you tell that devil slut Jack! Stupid bitch thinks she can get away with kissing Jack in front of me. I moved closer to Jack and took his hand in mine; I mentally smiled to myself when she narrowed her eyes at out clasped hands.

“Jack we need to know what is coming, if it can do this to a vampire who knows what else it could do. We need information and unless you want whatever is out there hitting us and we not being ready for it. What if it comes for us next? You want Nikki winding up” she left the rest unsaid.

Oh that was low! She was just using me as an excuse to get to Jack. Sadly it was working; I saw a look of uncertainty cross his eyes. I was not going to let him do this. Torture was beneath him. Torture was something bad people did and I was not going to let him sink that low.

“Between me and Jack I think we can handle it Maria.”

Maria glared at me. “Jack I need to see you, alone,” she said her voice sharper than usual.

I made no move, but Jack whispered in my ear. “It's okay, I will tell her we are leaving, wait for me outside,” he said.

I looked at me and he cocked his head at the door. I nodded and kissed him on the cheek. I walked out the door and waited. We would leave soon and put all of this behind us. We would be together forever and nothing and no one would come between us.

I got a familiar twitch on my spine and I turned, a bag was thrown on my head, before I could scream something hard hit me in the gut, I let out an oomph and I something flat and metal was placed over my mouth and tightly wrapped. I could not bite it off. They, and I say they because two pairs of arms had a hold of me picked me up and carried me away.

“Hurry up, we must finish her before he knows she is gone.”

If I still had a beating heart it would have stopped. A cold chill of fear ran over my stomach. I knew that voice. It was Alejandro. There was only one reason he would be taking me away, he was going to take me out into the dessert. I tried my best to scream for Jack but the thing wrapped around my mouth kept me silent.

Sweet mother of god, they're going to kill me!

Fusedtwilight: Don, don, don. The Volturi cometh, Nikki is about to be Aztec sacrificed and Jasper and the others may not make it in time. Will Jack save Nikki? And who will save Jack when the Volturi pop up? Please review.
