《Lilliana Swan》Chapter 31
Advertisement
My time as a human was over. But I never felt more alive. I was born to be a vampire. Everything was falling into place. Even the Volturi seemed to accept my new status. Though they'd want proof eventually. It seemed we had only one enemy left. Time Renesmee was growing too fast . We all worried about how long we would have with her. It just made every moment more precious.
Bella, Jacob, Renesmee and I were playing in the snow. Renesmee now looked to be a 6 or 7 year old.
"Look, a snowflake." Renesmee said
"It's beautiful. Why don't you go get another one?" Bella asked
Renesmee runs off to play.
"Edward thinks that we'll find answers in Brazil." Bella said
"There are tribes there that might know something." I said
Renesmee leaps into the air to catch a snowflake, we turn to see a figure in the distance.
"Who was that?" Renesmee asked
"I think that's our cousin from Denali. Irina." Bella said
She looks visibly upset at seeing Renesmee, Irina and runs off before Bella or I can speak to her. All then run back to the house.
"Tanya convinced Irina to come reconcile with us." Carlisle said
"It looks like she changed her mind." Edward said
"Seeing Jacob must have been too much for her." Esme said
"I don't think it was Jacob I think it was Renesmee. What if she think she is a..." I said
"No she would not think that." Carlisle said
"Wish I could have just spoken to her." Bella said
"She's family. She'll come around." Carlisle said
Edward was sitting with Renesmee at the piano, they start playing. I was pulled from the room everything fading. I was now standing in the Volturi castle.
"What a pleasant surprise." Aro said
"What do you want? Hmm?" Caius said
"Allow me, my dear." Aro said
Aro takes Irina's hand seeing that the Cullen's have created an immortal child.
"Oh, my." Aro said
Everything faded and I was back in the Cullen house.
"Well shit." I said
Alice then drops the flowers that she was holding.
"Do you want to tell them or shall I." I said
"What is it, Alice?" Mason asked
"The Volturi. They're coming for us. Aro, Caius, Marcus, the Guard. And Irina." Alice said
"Honey, come here." Bella said
"Why?" Carlisle asked
"Really, Carlisle I thought you were smarter than that." I said
"What did Irina see in the woods?" Edward asked
"We were just walking." Bella said
"Ness was catching snowflakes." Jacob said
"Ana was right. Irina thinks Renesmee's an Immortal Child." Edward said
Carlisle recounts the history of immortal children to Bella.
"The Immortal Children were very beautiful. So enchanting. To be near them was love them. But their development was frozen at the age they were turned. They couldn't be taught or restrained. A single tantrum could destroy an entire village. Humans heard about the devastation. Stories spread. The Volturi were forced to intervene. Since the Children couldn't protect our secret, they had to be destroyed. Their creators grew very attached and fought to protect them. Long-established covens were torn apart. Countless humans slaughtered. Traditions, friends, even families. Lost." Carlisle said
"The spell was not meant for children. It was meant for those who wanted to live. Who wanted to learn." I said
"So the Denalis' mother made an Immortal Child?" Bella asked
"Yes. And she paid the price." Carlisle said

"Well, Renesmee's nothing like those children. She was born, not bitten. She grows every single day." Bella said
"So can't you just explain that to the Volturi?" Jacob asked
"Aro has enough proof in Irina's thoughts." Edward said
"What about Ana? You guys said they were scared of her." Jacob said
"No." Jasper said
"So we fight." Jacob said
"Their offensive weapons are too powerful. No one can stand against Jane." Jasper said
"Alec's even worse." Alice said
"Bella wasn't effected by Jane and I know how to get around Alec." I said
"Well, then we convince them." Bella said
"They're coming to kill us, not to talk." Emmett said
"No, you're right. They won't listen to us, maybe Ana. But maybe others can convince them. Carlisle, you have friends all around the world. And Ana has others as well." Edward said
"I won't ask them to fight." Carlisle said
"Nor will I." I said
"Not fight. Witness. If enough people knew the truth, maybe we could convince the Volturi to listen." Edward said
Esme turns to Carlisle.
"We can ask this of our friends." Esme said
Everyone starts packing to leave to find vampires. I was standing outside just looking out at the woods. Emily walks up behind me.
"Why aren't you packing?" Emily asked
"For the first in my entire life I don't know what to do." I said
"What do you mean?" Emily asked
"To ask for the help. To take down and destroy everything I've built or do nothing as they threaten my family. And then there is Caius." I said
"What about Caius?" Jasper said
"I think I should go." Emily said
Emily then headed back inside.
"Nothing." I said
"Come on tell me?" Jasper said
"Fine. I've known Caius a long time. If we have to fight them I don't know what I'm going to do." I said
"It won't come to fighting." Jasper said
"No matter what you decide I will be by your side. I love you, Lilly." Jasper said
"And I love you Jasper." I said
I hear a twig snap. I look to see Sam. Carlisle and Jacob exit the house.
"Sam." I said
"Ana." Sam said
Sam walks up and hands me a note.
"Alice asked me to give you that. She and Mason crossed our lands to the ocean last night." Sam said
I hand the note over to Carlisle.
"Carlisle?" Esme asked
"They've left us." Carlisle said
"Why?" Rosalie asked
"She didn't say." Carlisle said
"Can I see that?" Bella asked
Carlisle gives Alice's note to Bella.
"Gather as many witness as you can before the snow sticks to the ground. That's when they'll come." Bella read aloud
Soon after that everyone left. Jasper and I stayed at the house. I sent a text to a old friend. A few days passed and Bella, Edward, and Renesmee came back. Not long after that others arrived as well. Benjamin and Renesmee soon meet. She touches his cheek, then Benjamin takes her hand and uses his power to entertain her.
"Benjamin can influence the elements." Edward said
"And here I get super self-control." Bella said
Suddenly they all hear something fast move in the woods getting closer to them, suddenly two female vampires appear out of nowhere.
"Who are they?" Bella asked
"Senna and Zafrina. From the Amazon." Edward said

Renesmee moves to Senna and Zafrina.
Jacob looks around the room at all the vampires.
"Lotta red eyes around here." Jacob said
"They agreed not to hunt in the area." Bella said
"But they'll feed somewhere." Jacob said
"How many came?" Carlisle asked
"Eighteen. You have some good friends." Edward said
"And Alice?" Esme asked
Bella shakes her head.
"We'll all be on Aro's list now. Centuries on the run. That's what you've brought me. Some friend, Carlisle." Alistair said
"Alistair stop being a stick in the mud. You used to be so much more fun." I said
"Well hello there Lilith. It's been a while. But you are still the hottest person I've ever seen." I said
They was a small growl.
"Calm down Jasper." I said
"Alistair, come meet everyone." Carlisle said
"I already told you, if it comes to a fight, I won't stand against the Volturi." Alistair said
"It won't come to a fight." Carlisle said
"Lilith always a pleasure. I'll be in the attic." Alistair said
"You as well." I said
"I'll be in the attic." Alistair said
Alistair jumps up onto the roof and walks off.
"He's not a people person." Esme said
"He never was." I said
We were all outside, Zafrina was making Edward see something in the forest.
"If she weren't holding my hand right now, I could swear this was real." Edward said
"I don't see anything." Bella said
"Edward, you didn't tell me your wife is a shield. Or that her sister is Lilith." Eleazar said
"I said that but this family doesn't listen to me." I said
"What's a shield?" Bella asked
Edward understands something.
"The ones I've met are so different." Edward said
"It's a defensive talent." Eleazar said
"It's why I couldn't read your mind, even before. It's why Aro couldn't." Edward said
"I'm so proud." I said
"You have a very powerful gift." Eleazar said
Suddenly Kate takes Bella's hand.
"Oh, yeah, she's a shield, all right. Shoulda put her on her ass." Kate said
"Or your voltage has been exaggerated." Garrett said
"Maybe it only works on the weak." Kate said
Kate puts her hand up, daring Garrett to try and touch her.
"Garret, I wouldn't." Carlisle said
Garrett touches his finger to Kate's hand and he's instantly electrocuted and falls to the ground.
"You are an amazing woman." Garrett said
We were talking when we heard something. We all started running towards it, we caught up to the wolves who were also running towards it. The two figures stop.
"Vladimir, Stefan, you're a long way from home." Carlisle said
"What are they doing here?" Kate asked
"We heard the Volturi were moving against you. But that you would not stand alone." Vladimir said
"We didn't do what we were accused of." Carlisle said
"We do not care what you did, Carlisle." Vladimir said
"We have been waiting a millennium for the Italian scum to be challenged." Stefan said
"I really wish you two would act some what normal." I said
"Ah. Your grace it's been way to long." Vladimir said
"Well, as much as you two are fun. Please act some what normal." I said
"What ever you want." Stefan said
I was going to say something when Johnathan showed up next to Vladimir and Stefan.
"Hello there." I said
"Oh come on you know you missed me." Johnathan said
"What ever Johnathan. Are you here to help or hinder?" I asked
"Help. Always to help when it comes to you." Johnathan said
"It's not our plan to fight the Volturi." Carlisle said
"Shame. Aro's witnesses will be so disappointed." Vladimir said
"They enjoy a good fight." Stefan said
"Aro's witnesses?" Elazar asked
"Aww. Still hoping they'll listen?" Vladimir asked
"When Aro wants someone from a coven it's never long before evidence turns up proving that coven committed some crime." Eleazar said
"So he's done this before?" Bella and I asked at the same time
"It happens so rarely, I never realized it was a pattern." Eleazar said
"Apparently he always pardons one person whose thoughts he claims are repentant." Carlisle said
"This person always has an ability. And they're always given a place with the Guard." Eleazar said
"So basically he will only kill. 4 of the Cullens." I said
"This is all about Alice. He has no one like her." Edward said
"Which is why she left." Bella said
"Why dies he need witnesses??" Emmett said
"To spread the word that justice has been served. After he slaughters an entire coven." Alistair said
"Benjamin, Tia, we're leaving." Amun said
"And where will you go? What makes you think they'll be satisfied with Alice? What's to stop them from going after Benjamin next? Or Zafrina or Kat or anyone else with a gift? Anyone they want. Their goal isn't punishment, it's power. It's acquisition. Carlisle might not ask you to fight, but I will. For the sake of my family. But also for yours. And for the way you want to live." Edward said
There is a moment of silence as the vampires look at each other, then Jacob stands.
"The packs will fight. We've never been afraid of vampires." Jacob said
Delani's stand.
"We will fight." Tanya said
"This won't be the first time I fought a king's rule." Garrett said
"We'll join you." Benjamin said
"No." Amun said
"I will do the right thing, Amun. You may do as you please." Benjamin said
"We will stand with you." Senna said
"So will we." Siobhan said
The other vampires start to step forward.
"That didn't take much." Vladimir said
"Let's hope it doesn't come to that." Edward said
"We'll see." Alistair said
The other's look over at me. I left the room. I headed up stairs to Jasper's room. I just sat down on his bed and though about everything. I heard someone enter the room but I didn't care.
"What are you thinking about?" Emily asked
"Killing Aro." I said
"Would you really do that? You helped make them." Emily said
"No I helped make three of them, but only two are left." I said
"So what would you do?" Emily asked
"Kill Aro and replace him with his sister." I said
"How much power is it going to take to bring her back?" Emily asked
"Barley anything. I've accepted my inner self. So nothing. Oh and when you and Paul are ready to talk about the future let me know." I said
"So tell me are you going to tell anyone else about your plan." Emily said
"No. I'm not." I said
"You are crazy." Emily said
"You bet." I said
Emily left the room. And Johnathan entered.
"What are you doing?" I asked
Johnathan walked up and kissed me. I pushed him away.
"What the heck." I said
"Oh come on. You know you missed me." Johnathan said
"Stop." I said
Johnathan kissed me again. I didn't get a chance to push him off. Because Jasper did.
"She told you to stop." Jasper said
"I know what she said. I was hoping for one more go." Johnathan said
"Not happening. I don't share well." Jasper said
"Nor do I. I found a person I can spend my life with. I just wanted one more time with you." Johnathan said
I walked over to Johnathan and kissed him. I heard Jasper growl but ignored him.
"Now that is the last of anything you getting from me." I said
"Okay. It was a pleasure to meet the great Jasper Whitlock." Johnathan said
With that Johnathan zoomed out of the room. I turned around and looked over at Jasper.
"You know watching you kiss Johnathan, was kind of hot." Jasper said
"Really now. I could go find him." I said
Jasper shut his door and locked it.
"The room still sound proof?" Jasper said
"Oh yeah." I said
"Good." Jasper said
