Chapter 24

Fusedtwilight: Thanks to my beta animegirlkiki for betaing and thanks to everyone who reviwed.

Jack P.O.V

Women are the most stubborn-assed creatures in the world!

Why can't she see things my way? Why can't she understand I was trying to keep her safe? Did she not see how psychotic those Volturi creeps were?

I paced back and forth in the woods. Seth and Emmett watched me pace and wisely did not say anything.

I let out a furious howl that would have done any werewolf proud and slammed my fist onto a boulder. Moss and bits of rock went flying everywhere. “What is wrong with that woman!” I demanded.

“Well she has a point,” Seth said. I glared at him and he backed away. “I mean she just wants to make sure you are safe.”

“It is not her job to make sure I am safe, that is my job. The man takes care of the woman, that's what my mom said.”

She also said she loved me, and she hated me, and she was proud of me, and she wished she had an abortion. Mom was a double standards kind of girl.

“Dude, Nikki doesn't want you or need you to take care of her,” Emmett said, “I remember when I and Rosie first got together, damn did we fight. See I was a bit territorial of her. I mean she saved my life and I was so in love with her, any time a man so much as looked at her I had them in the air by the scruff of their necks.”

“So what did you do?” I asked.

“I had to learn to compromise. See Rose noticed I got plenty of looks from other girls, not that you could blame them, I am hot.” he grinned. “But Rose contained her jealousy. As much as she loved me I was stifling her with my love. I embarrassed her by threatening to kill every guy I saw checking her out. I knew if I did not get my act together I would push her away. Then I realized that other guys may want her, she would never want them; I was all the man she needed.”

“This isn't some insecurity I have Emmett, this is the fact she wants me to let her walk into their hands. I saw what they are capable of, that little brown haired bitch used her power on me, I will not allow her to go through that pain,” I said.

“But Jack, would you let her walk into a dangerous situation?” Seth asked.

“Fuck no!”

“Exactly, you need to see this from her point of view. What if she wanted you to stay behind while she was walking into a dangerous situation, how would that make you feel?” he asked.

“Pissed off.”

“Exactly,” Emmett said, “You have to put yourself in her shoes buddy boy. Imagine what she is going through. She knows the risk but she would rather be there to face them with you.”

“But if they decide to kill us.....”

“Then they will find her man. That Demetri guy is the greatest tracker in the world; he will find her no matter where she goes.”

“But this Aro guy can read minds; he will figure out she means so much to me and use her against me. He'll have me by the balls and there will be nothing I can do,” I said. “What if it was Rose Emmett? If he told you to join him or she dies what would you do?” I asked.

“I would join in a heartbeat.”

“And if he told you to kill us? To fight us? Would you do that? Because I am not sure what the fuck I would do if he told me to.”

I sat down on the ground and covered my face. “I don't know what to do.”

Nikki P.O.V

“I don't know what I am going to do. He is the most stubborn, obnoxious little runt. AGGGHH!” I growled.

“It's okay Nikki,” Alice said as she brushed my hair. We sat in Jack's old room. It used to be Edward's until him and Bella got their own cabin close by.

All we girls were in his room now, talking about stupid Jack and his stupid......stupidity!

Despite the fact that I wanted to ring his neck I scanned the room. I found it full of pictures of butterflies, his whole bookcase was filled with books on them and he even had a garden filled with them.

“I took care of them while he was away,” Nessie had said proudly.

“Remember he is just trying to protect you,” Esme said calmly.

“I don't need him to protect me; I have a gift for that. And the little prick called me stupid...oh...sorry Bella, sorry Nessie.” I covered my mouth when I realized what I said.

“I hear nothing,” Nessie said covering her ears.

“I mean why he can’t understand, if he shows up without me they will send their hunters after me. They might kill him automatically and I know he isn't going to stand there and let them hunt me down, he'll get himself killed.”

“I know how you feel,” Alice said. “Not too long ago we had to fight an army of newborns, my over protective husband fought every vampire before I could. He tried to protect me and fight as well.”

“When me and Emmett first started going out every time we went out some guy would ogle me and he would get all jealous and make this great big scene. It was so embarrassing,” Rose said rolling her eyes.

“Edward was the worst when I was still human. Treated me like I was made of glass,” Bella said. “He made my truck break down so I couldn't visit my friend Jake who is a werewolf, he convinced Alice to keep an eye on me, basically kidnapped me,” Bella said.

“Well I really wanted that yellow Porsche,” Alice said.

“Jake can be soooo annoying,” Nessie said with a huff. “He will take me to the beach at La Push to go swimming and he'll be like 'Don't go too far out in the water Nessie.” Or 'Remember you can only go out to the deep end if you have me with you Nessie.' And he always makes me wear those stupid baby floats. And he never lets me eat bears or mountain lions! He always makes me eat deer and moose. I mean I am more dangerous than any bear in the world!”

“See Nikki, it's in their nature to be over protective of us,” Esme said.

“Was Carlisle over protective of you?” I asked.

“Well, in a way. When I first became a vampire he was so attentive. Always asking how I was doing, always checking up on me, always making sure Edward was keeping me company.” she shook her head with a smile. “Then he started to find the most unusual reasons to be around me. He kept on giving me these checkups, wanting to make sure I was adjusting to being a vampire and making sure I was all transformed properly.”

“Transformed properly?” I asked.

“That's what I said. But I didn't mind, I enjoyed spending more time with him. But I made him think I didn't know what he was up to. If he knew he might get scared and back off but I loved the attention he gave me. But after five years I got tired of playing around and asked him out on a date. You should have seen him; he got all flustered and started stuttering, I swear if he still had blood he would been red as a tomato.”

We all laughed. Having seen Carlisle something told me he was not the kind who stuttered or got flustered very easily. I mean he wasn't one of those guys who had a blank icy look; he looked very kind and nice. But he was the man of this family.

“I just want to get my hands on him and strangle him though. I mean he can be so sweet and charming,” I said.

“Are we still talking about Jack?” Rose asked and we all laughed.

“But now he won't listen to me, what should I do? I never had a boyfriend before, let alone a vampire boyfriend.”

“Nikki, you need to understand, men are stubborn and overprotective when it comes to the women in their life. You just have to be able to compromise with them. Meet them half-way,” Alice said.

“But all we will do is fight some more and argue,” I said.

“Well of course. Love is a battlefield after all.”

“Aren't those lyrics from an old eighty's song?” I asked.

“You also have to remember Jack isn't used to having a girlfriend either,” she continued. “Plus you and he are still newborns, still learning to cope with your new intensified emotions. Just keep your calm and talk to him. Try and find a compromise. That is what love is, compromise, among other things.”

“And try to see things from his point of view,” Esme said. “Would you want him following you into a dangerous situation?”

“No,” I said.

“Well there you go.”

I got up off the bed. “You’re right. I need to talk to Jack right now. I need to get him to understand how this makes me feel.”

I walked to the window and opened it up. “Thanks guys, I appreciate this,” I said.

I jumped out the window and went to go find Jack. We needed to talk and it had to be now.

Jack P.O.V

Emmett and Seth sat down on either side of me.

Emmett patted my back. “Dude relax, remember you’re not going in alone. You'll have Jasper and Alice going with you. If anyone knows how to get out of a tough situation it's those two.”

“God, I should have left Mexico when Nikki wanted to leave, we would have never met those freaks and we wouldn't have to go to fucking Volterra,” I said.

“Can't worry about what could have been and what should have been. You got to worry about the here and now and what you are going to do. Running won't help, they will find you, not taking her isn't an option either because that might hurt your case and she wants to go.”

“And when a girl wants something they get it, believe me,” Emmett said.

We all looked up when we heard something running to us. It was Nikki. “Jack we need to talk,” she said.

“Well that's our cue,” Seth said getting up.

“Later little dude,” Emmett said following Seth back to the house.

We waited until their footfalls were gone and we could no longer hear the sound of Seth's beating heart. We said nothing at first, I trailed circles in the earth with my finger and she tapped her feet on the ground.

“So....sorry I called you stupid,” I said.

“Sorry I called you stubborn,” she said.

She walked over and sat right next to me. Our shoulders touched and I felt tingly where we touched. A part of me wanted to touch her more. To hug her, to hold her, to kiss her.

“I am scared to you know,” she said.

“Then don't go, please,” I begged.

“I have to go Jack, they will find me and kill me if I don't. And I can't let you go without me Jack, I love you and I don't want them to hurt you,” she said.

I reached out and took her hand in mine. “I came so close to losing you once, I don't want to risk a second time.”

She kissed my hand. “Everything will be fine Jack, Alice and Jasper will be with us. Plus, how can they not find us innocent? You look to adorable in that bow tie to find guilty of anything,” she smiled.

“Bow ties are cool,” I said fidgeting with the bow tie.

She laughed and kissed me on the lips. I sighed and leaned my head on her shoulder. “We have so little time now. Who knows how long it will be before they call us over.”

“Then we have time to prepare, time to enjoy before we have to leave. Let’s focus on that instead.”

We lay down on the earth, holding one another. She ran her hands through my hair and I had to fight the urge to purr like a damn cat. Every time her finger ran over my scalp it was like little jolts of electricity.

“I wish we could stay like this forever,” I said.

“Don't worry, we will,” she said.

I got up and looked at her. “Okay, you can come,” I said.

She got up and kissed me. “Thank you.”

“But, there is one little condition,” I said.

“What?”

Jasper P.O.V

Me, Carlisle, Edward and Jacob were going over what to do when the Volturi called.

Carlisle decided he would come with us, hoping to use his past history with them to our advantage. I did not agree with that, he was the head of our coven and if they decided to kill us I had little doubt they would not kill him to avenge their humiliation from last year.

Seth and Emmett came back; apparently Jack and Nikki were having a talk.

“Well we better get going, Sue is waiting to tan Seth's hide,” Jake said giving Seth a stern look.

Seth flinched at the thought of facing his mother’s wrath. I could feel his fear.

“When they call we will immediately call to let you know. I am sure Bella will want you to take Nessie away just in case,” Edward said.

Seth, Leah and Jake left, leaving us alone. Soon the girls came down and Nessie gave Jake a hug good night. We all went over the situation. Alice said we still had a few months to go. Jane and the others were still busy executing all the southern vampires and would be working on that for some time.

Esme decided to go with Carlisle when he came with us. He tried to convince her but she gave him that look she gives us when we misbehave and Carlisle folded. The others would stay behind and if we did not contact them by a certain point they would all go into hiding.

Eventually Jack and Nikki came back. I could tell from the aura of happiness and contentment they had made up. They were holding hands and were smiling at one another. I smiled, happy for the both of them. Especially for Jack, Nikki was doing wonders for him.

“Well we reached a compromise,” Jack said.

“And?” I asked.

“Well Jack will let me go, if I get some self defense training,” Nikki said.

“Self defense?” Rose asked.

“You know, that is where a person defends themselves against hurt,” Jack said.

“I know what it means you little-”

“So I figure my girl can handle a bunch of dumb newborns, but she will need to know how to fight seasoned vampires. So I was wondering if you could all help teach her I would feel a lot better of her going with us.”

“Sounds like a good idea, it was fun the last time we trained,” Esme said.

“Yeah, and now I can join in this time,” Bella said.

I could sense the excitement and delight the idea was bringing everyone. We had enjoyed the last training season we had when we were preparing for the battle with the newborns. Everyone was feeling excitement at the idea. I admit I have wanted another go at Edward since our last tussle in the woods.

“Alright, I would be happy to help,” I said.

“Perfect, we can do it tomorrow,” Esme said clapping her hands together.

“You ready to get the snot kicked out of you buddy boy?” Emmett asked rubbing his hands together and giving Jack a menacing look.

“Last time you and me fought I whipped your ass old man,” Jack said.

“Yeah, but you are like seven months old, your strength will be fading now.”

“Yeah but my girl still has four months before she starts losing her strength,” Jack said.

“Oh, little Jackie needs his girl to protect him?”

“What did you call me?” he scowled. He hated being called Jackie.

“You heard me.”

“Keep it up brave heart, it will only make your defeat tomorrow that more embarrassing.”

“You wait; I am going to tear you and your little bow tie apart.”

“Don't diss the bow tie, bow ties are cool.”

“Now boys, save it for tomorrow,” Esme said.

“I can hardly wait,” Emmett said.

The next day we were all in the woods, training.

Emmett slammed Jack into the ground, leaving a humanoid shaped mark in the earth.

“Son of a bitch!” Jack growled.

“Not so tough without your newborn strength are you?” Emmett said leaning down close to his face and laughing at him.

Jack kicked his leg up and kicked Emmett right in the face, sending him flying backwards. “Take that fuck face!” Jack yelled.

Jack and Emmett had been going at it for over an hour. Beating the hell out of one another and demolishing the area. Bella had covered Nessie's ears long ago in a sad attempt to save her virgin ears from Emmett and Jack's cussing.

Emmett was right about Jack losing his strength, at around seven months the newborns start to lose their strength, losing it completely when they hit the twelve month mark. Jack was little over seven months now and was starting to lose his strength. Do to the difference in size between him and Jack Emmett and he were now about equal.

Your size and strength you had as a human help determine how strong you are as a vampire. Emmett had been tall and strong, years working on the railways with his brothers gave him formidable power, and it’s what made him the strongest in the family. Bella had already lost her strength to fight Emmett, a fact he was so happy about.

Emmett stumbled around; Jack had his legs wrapped around Em's neck and was beating on his head. “How do you like me now bitch!”

“I am going to pop your head like a greasy little pimple!” Emmett roared.

“Enough” I said.

I sent a wave of calm at them and they stopped fighting. “Let’s let Nikki try. Rose, would you like to have a go at her?”

“Sure.”

Jack got off Emmett and they came to join us. “Kick her ass babe,” Jack said kissing Nikki on the cheek.

Nikki and Rose stepped up and faced one another. I stepped forward and began to circle the both of them. “Newborns can be formidable opponents, thanks to the immense strength they posses they can be faster and stronger than the average vampire, add the odd number who possess a gift and they can truly be a force to be reckoned with. Especially in great numbers. However they lack discipline and rational thought, the desire for blood clouding their ability to think.”

“Jeez, thanks for the vote of confidence,” Nikki said. I could sense a little irritation coming off her.

“But there are some who are more tame then others,” I said quickly. “Add your gift and you can be a real deadly threat.”

“That's my girl,” I heard Jack say proudly. Nikki looked in his direction and smiled. Love and affection radiated from the both of them.

“Now, I want to see how well you do.” I stepped back and waved my arm through the air. “Go!”

Rose rushed at Nikki but Nikki side-stepped her. Rose raised her leg through the air to kick her but Nikki brought both her hands up and blocked it. Than she grabbed her leg and tossed her to the side. Rose landed on her feet and rushed at Nikki. Nikki brought her hands up and brought her leg up. I recognized the stance as being from tai kwon do. Her leg connected with Rose's hip and sent her flying to the side again.

Rose landed on her feet again and this time came at her from a different angel. She slid on the ground, trying to kick Nikki's feet from under her. Nikki jumped over her. But Rose Brought her leg down and pushed, using her momentum to push herself back and up in the air.

Nikki shouldn't have known she was coming at her from behind, yet when Rose was about to grab her in mid-air, Nikki folded her arms and kicked her feet out from behind her, kicking Rose and sending her to the ground below.

Rose landed on her back while Nikki landed on her feet. She spun around, her teeth bared. I sent a wave of calm at her, her newborn instincts were kicking in, I didn't want her to go over bored and hurt Rose.

I was impressed with her ability to fight and hold her own. Most newborns lack the skill to fight well, instead using simple moves like kicking, punching and biting in a fight. But Nikki was showing amazing skill.

“Alright baby!” Jack cheered. He nudged Emmett's shoulder and pointed at Nikki. “See that? I'm tapping that.”

“Jack!” Nikki screeched at him, her face horror struck.

“What? Were still virgins,” he said.

“Will you shut up!” she said her voice hysterical now.

“What does tapping mean?” Nessie asked.

We all glared at Jack. “Whoops,” he said.

Rose got up and ran at Nikki, once again Nikki brought her leg up but Rose ducked. She brought her fist up and tried to hit her chin but she smacked her fist away and brought her knee up to hit Rose in the gut but Rose blocked it and brought her elbow up to hit Nikki in the face, Nikki jerked her head back and avoided Rose's blow. She in return brought her elbow up and hit Rose right in the nose.

Rose Snarled and flew back. “Oh my god! I am so sorry, I didn't mean to hit your face, it just happened!” Nikki said quickly covering her mouth.

Rose got up and popped her jaw back into place. She glared at Nikki who shriveled back. Than Rose smiled at her and held out her hand. Nikki smiled and shook hands with her. “Don't be sorry, I wasn't holding back, neither should you have.”

“Well done Nikki,” I said.

We all clapped for her. Jack clapped the hardest.

“Alright, Edward, you're next,” I said.

“Don't hurt her Edward,” Jack warned.

“Jack,” Nikki sighed.

“I have seen him fight, he can read your thoughts, he knows what you will do.”

“I know, you told me like a dozen times,” she said.

“He is right; Edward's power gives him a huge advantage in a fight. Plus he has been in the minds of hundreds of expert fighters, he knows how to dominate even the experts,” I said.

“Except me and Jasper of course,” Alice said.

“Hey if he didn't have that mind reading crap I could take him,” Emmett said.

“You wish,” Edward teased.

Rose went to go stand next to Emmett and Edward stepped forward to face Nikki. “Kick his ass baby!” Jack yelled.

“Go!” I said.

They went at it. It went longer than the fight between Rose and Nikki. They moved fluidly, symmetrical. Every time one tried to land a blow the other dodged. “Impressive,” Edward said.

“Thanks,” Nikki said.

“Her ability is similar to Victoria's, only much stronger,” Edward said.

“Isn't that the crazy bitch who tried to kill all of you?” Jack asked.

“Yep. She had the gift of self-preservation,” Edward said as he continued to spar with Nikki.

“Everyone has that, unless their suicidal,” Jack said.

“Victoria literally had it for a gift, she knew where the best place to hide was, it made her tricky to catch. Had she not ignored her instincts she would have escaped us again,” Edward said.

“I can sense where the best spots to hide are,” Nikki said.

“Yes, like I said you and she have similar powers, but yours is more advanced than hers. I haven't landed a single blow on you yet,” he said.

It was true; I was amazed he hadn't landed a single blow on her yet. I could tell he wasn't holding back.

Nikki's training had helped her a lot. Even though she was not able to land a single blow against Edward, I was amazed how well she anticipated his attacks and parried them effortlessly.

But Edward did the same, he blocked, attacked and was parried.

“When I go to attack her power warns her where it is coming from and she reacts instinctively. It's almost like there are two people inside her head.”

He brought the palm of his hand forward and hit her in the chest and sent her flying back into a tree. The second she hit it the whole thing shuddered.

“Of course instinct only gets you so far.”

“You okay?” Jack called to her.

I could sense his worry and anxiety. I admit it was refreshing to sense these things from him then the usual angst and anger that used to cloud over him.

She dusted herself off. “Yeah I'm fine.” she grinned at Edward and rushed at him.

In the end Edward won. Nikki put up a very good fight but in the end he pinned her to the ground. After that we switched up. I fought Carlisle, Esme and Bella went at it, Alice and Edward fought which was like putting an unmovable object in front of an unstoppable force.

I fought Jack, I was very proud of him. He was truly a ruthless little bastard when it came to fighting. The time he spent with Maria sharpened his fighting skills like a fine razor. I was surprised how well he fought, but I quickly adapted.

First he tossed a rock at Alice who was watching, I quickly ran and grabbed it in the air, I turned to chastise him but found while I ran to grab the rock he grabbed a small tree and bashed me with it, sending me flying through the air.

“Yeah! Oregon one, Texas zero!” he cheered.

I was tossed five miles from where we were sparing. I smirked to myself. Little bastard knew I would not let anything harm Alice. Sure the rock was like a wad of tissue against her skin, but still I do not like having my mate messed with. Jack knew this and capitalized on this.

I was half prideful with him for being so devious and half angry for him daring to use Alice in such a way. I was going to have a talk with him later about it, but for now I had to silently applaud him for it.

Sure it was sneaky and devious, but when it comes to life and death all bets are off.

This was no fight for life and death, but the idea he could defend himself was a good thing in my mind. I could not help but feel some fatherly pride.

Fatherly pride? That was a feeling that was new to me. I have felt many forms of pride before. I felt pride at the newborns I trained, pride I was the one who helped train them, I felt pride for my family for being so humane, I felt pride in us as a family when we defeated the newborns. But never before did I think I would feel pride in a fatherly way.

I ran back to the area where we fought. I grinned at Jack. “Neat trick kid, let me show you how a real monster fights.”

Jack P.O.V

I fell down on my bed and sighed. Jasper had not gone easy on me for my little stunt with Alice. I swear if I was capable of bruises I would be solid black right now.

I knew Jasper would stop the rock from hitting Alice, like she said he was an overprotective fool.

Nikki sat next to me and began to play with my hair. This was out little ritual, she would run her fingers through my hand and I would enjoy the feel of those wonderful fingers moving through my silky strings.

“That was fun,” she said.

“Sure was. You kicked ass today babe,” I said.

“Thanks. It was nice to spar with someone and not worry about them flipping out and trying to rip you apart. I feel bad about hitting Rose in the face though.”

“Don't, she needs to be taken down a peg or two once in a while,” I said.

“I heard that brat,” I heard Rose hiss from downstairs.

I chuckled. “Not bothered.”

“So how much longer do you think I should be trained?” she asked.

“Until Jasper is satisfied. These Volturi guys have had centuries to perfect the art of killing vampires. When Jasper says you've gone black belt, I will be happy.”

She laughed. “A black belt vampire? I just got this image of me and Jasper in a dojo in those white karate outfits and him giving me a black sash,” she giggled.

Her giggle was truly amazing. It was like hearing an angel giggle.

“I love you Nikki,” I said.

She looked at me funny. “What makes you say that?”

“I just do. I have never loved a girl like I love you. I mean I had some crushes but nothing like this. I want to be with you forever Nikki.”

She smiled at me, she leaned down and kissed me on the lips. “I love you too.”

Two months later.

I went into our room. Nikki was in front of the vanity that Alice got for her, she was putting makeup on.

“Hey,” I said.

She looked at me in the mirror. Her eyes were the color of amber now. “Hey,” she said.

I held the chest behind me. “Close your eyes,” I said.

“Why?”

“Just close them,” I said.

She closed her eyes and I walked forward. I opened the small wooden chest and picked the necklace from the velvet cover. I sat it down on the table and wrapped the necklace around her neck and clasped it together.

“Okay, open them,” I said.

She opened her eyes and they grew wide in shock. “Oh my god, Jack it's wonderful!”

It was a perfect replica of the emerald necklace she had in Mexico, the one Alejandro crushed. Only instead of having an Aztec drawing of a man on it, it had a carving of the Cullen's crest on it.

“Like it? I had it specially made. I know how much you liked the other one, but I had the carving changed to show you are one of us now,” I said.

She got up and hugged me. “Oh I love it!” she kissed me on the lips and I felt like I could fly.

“I hate to interrupt.”

We broke apart and turned to see Alice was looking at us. I knew from the look on her face what was going on.

“We need to go to Carlisle's office, he is about to get a call from Aro.”

Me and Nikki looked at one another. She took my hand in hers and we walked up To Carlisle's office. Jasper was already there as was Carlisle.

“Right....now!” Alice said.

The phone rang and Carlisle put it on speaker. “Aro,” he said.

“Hello Carlisle, my old friend,” a voice said. “So good to hear from you again so soon. But I am afraid this is not a pleasant call.”

“I take it you are summoning us to Volterra?” Carlisle asked.

“Yes, I was most interested when my guard returned and Chelsea told me about your new member. Or should I say members.” the man chuckled. “I swear Carlisle you have a power for finding the most interesting beings. Edward, Alice, now this Jack and his mate.”

“I take more value in them as people, not for their gifts Aro,” Carlisle said.

“Yes, yes. But I am afraid we need to sort this mess out. Protocol and everything, we expect this Jack and his mate to be here no later than three days.”

“What are the charges?” Jasper asked.

“I am sorry, is this the infamous Jasper? I have not had the pleasure of meeting you, but I know you have quite the reputation in the south. And from what I learned from your wife and brother was most interesting. I hope we can meet soon.”

He sounded like he was honest about meeting Jasper. Like we weren't talking about something serious at all. He sounded a little pompous.

“Well I will be coming with Jack and Nikki to testify for Jack and Nikki.”

“Me too,” Alice said.

Aro was silent for almost a moment. “Alice? Well I am sure looking forward to meeting you face to face again.”

I shivered at how eager he sounded.

“Well than I am happy to say me and Esme will be coming as well,” Carlisle said.

“Really? I get to meet your new sons, your new daughter and your wife for the first time? Truly this is a special occasion,” Aro said sounding giddy. “Will anyone else be coming? Edward? Bella? Little Nessie?”

“We will be coming alone, the others will stay here.”

“Surly you do not think I mean you harm Carlisle? After all you have broken no rules.”

“Still, after what happened last year we are a bit cautious,” Carlisle said.

“Oh Carlisle, you old worry wart,” Aro laughed.

Worry wart? Since when do vampires old as dirt say worry wart?

“Oh well, maybe I can see the others some other time. But we must see you and the newborns within three days or I am afraid we will have to find you.” his tone was cheery but I caught the underlining tones in it.

“We will be there,” Carlisle said.

“Splendid. I am looking forward to seeing your newborn child demonstrate his power.”

Before Carlisle could ask what he meant Aro hanged up.

We all looked at one another and I said what everyone was thinking.

“Well this blows.”
