The Cullen's and the human return home, Edward went to leave his girlfriend, while Alice went straight home when she got there everyone was relieved to see her intact, and the questions started from what happened there, why did they get here until that day and more, but Rosalie wanted to know if she saw her baby

-Alice... did you see her? -Rose asked

-I did, she is more gorgeous than before and more confident -Alice respond with a smile

-Is there something that happens? -Carlisle asked

-They are coming back for a time both of them -she said quietly, the family smiled at that, but Rosalie more than the others, but Carlisle saw that Alice didn't say something

-What is the catch on that Alice? -the leader ask

-The kings gave us six months to change Bella if we don't they will kill her, and Carlisle Stephen is the chosen one from Caius, and I'm pretty sure Athena is the one from Aro

Carlisle sight at that and sit on the couch with his head in his hands, that was something that he didn't expect in a million years, the other didn't know what that means -Honey what is that? -Esme asked with worry

-The chosen ones means that the kings choose someone from the guard to be the next generations of kings or queens if something would happen to them, they trained them to be royals, their manners and the form to talk are like seeing royalty, the kings choose them if they relate to the person that they choose, it was pretty obvious for me that Athena was the chosen one from Aro, they are very calculated persons and they are leaders

-He presents her as his daughter -Alice adds

-It was something he would do at some point, I think that when he saw her like she was made him realize that he could looser

-So you are telling us that if something happens to Aro, Athena is going to take his position -Emmett asked in surprise

-But they are not the same person, I mean Athena, love, to torture people and all that, of course, she has her side of just intelligence and not just force, and she has a soft side that she shares with us -Jasper explain

-That Aro doesn't show his sadistic side doesn't mean he doesn't have one, the difference is that Aro shows his political side and hides the sadistic person he also doesn't care too much about the wise part, while Athena is one the three persons in one, not hiding anything, that makes her the perfect combination of Aro personality and more... You see there is a reason that the kings are what they are, Aro is political and power-hungry, Caius is the sadistic and Marcus the wise they are a combination they are a balance

-And Stephen? -Jasper asked this time

-That is because Stephen is literally the same as Caius, he is a strategist, cold, serious, has trust issues, and is a sobreprotector, only that Stephen is not as sadistic as Caius, only when people tried his patience, and have a huge ego

-That sounds like my brother -Emmett said with a soft chuckle

-And Marcus? -Rosalie asked

-I do not know, but I would say that some of the triplets, Athena is not, so it would be between Jane and Alec -Carlisle said in though

-Well, Thena was wearing different clothing with golden -Alice said when she thought of her again

-That is one of the signs so others can know about her status or could be silver, I imagine Stephen was next to Caius or using gold like her?

-He was next to Caius the majority of the time we were there, Aro also seem very proud of him, but nothing like Caius when he talks or said something, he even talks when Aro ask what to do, he also was the one who put the time limit

-That is because he knows Edward would try to evade the order -Carlisle explains- I have to say that I'm not surprised

-And the queens don't say anything? -Esme asked

-I never met the queens personally, but from what I know Athenodora loves Athena to no end, but if Caius choose Stephen it means that Athenodora liked him or have a type of bond, and Sulpicia always had a good relationship with her when the queens were out of the tower Athena was the one who was with them protecting them

-So the choice is not just because they think that person is enough -Rosalie state understanding the situation

-Exactly, they study the person and well when I was with them I could notice that Aro was already chosen her, she was in training I think I'm not sure -Carlisle explain

-Then why did both of them never tell us? -Emmett asked in a hurt

-Is something that they can not tell, until they end their ¨training¨, and I'm pretty sure that neither of them would tell us, is something very sacred in the Volturi Emmett, there are things they will never tell us, just like we have things we don't share with others, and their loyalties don't let them tell a lot of things -Carlisle keep explaining

-Is not like it matters that both can or do not tell us this... It doesn't change they are family -Rosalie said with a glare

-Rosalie is right, all of us had secrets, and we have to agree that Athena was loyal to them, even before she met us, they are her family, just like we are also her family -Esme said in a serious tone with honesty -and Stephen also takes us like family, and both accept our flaws

They nod their heads in understanding accepting that they were right... they could never blame them for not telling them, while they accept them however they were, they never pressed to know something about them, they were there when they were ready to do it

-When they are coming back? -Rosalie asks this time with a smile

-Today -Alice said with a huge smile, that Rose shared -I forget to mention that Bella wants to know why they were there

-Wants? -Rosalie asked with venom- Since when does she have a say in something in the family -The family had to agree on that

-We could give her a little explanation -Esme said- So she doesn't ask again

Rosalie thought about it for a moment, if they tell her something she was not going to ask more, and even if she did no one was going to say something because Athena don't share the story that wasn't her or Stephen, and if she didn't have anyone else to ask, she would never ask neither Stephen nor Thena because she is terrified of them -Agreed with Esme

They were all shocked but then saw a little hint of evil in her eyes -Just the basics that we knew of Athena when they told us? -Carlisle asked toward all asking if they all agree, agree on that, Rosalie was a little happy that Carlisle asked them and not just take this type of decision just him or Edward

They heard a car of Edward coming, and they smelled Bella's scent, some of them tense at that, Jasper dint like Bella or Edward after their sister and brother left, he blame them for what happened, the months apart, the family realized that the couple was right and Edward use Jasper guilt to leave Forks, and even when they are right now there is not sure that they are staying, Carlisle and Esme also in the months apart talk and with Esme help he becomes the leader that the coven needed, Alice also took a resentment toward her brother for putting her mate in guilt and she learn to lean more on her sisters, when she could talk with Athena she helps her with that even she knew that Athena and she don't have the same relationship than before, but Alice was happy to have her again in her life and with Thena coming they could rebuild it and make it stronger, Alice while being in Volterra saw that she send Demetri to stop her so no one else brings her harm when she wanted to talk Athena look at her like telling her to not saying anything knowing what would happen and she was right, no one hurt Alice while being in the throne room, even Demetri hold was not that hard

The mind reader and the human enter the room, seeing yet that some of the furniture was still covered, the mind reader saw that they were not sure about staying there, he frown his face in confusion but didn't say something -I wanted to talk with all of you -the human said to them

-Can it wait? -Carlisle asked Edward -It's because we are waiting for Stephen and Athena to come

-Yes, they are coming today -Alice explain when a vision came to her- They are coming now -Alice said with a smile

Then they hear a soft knock on the front door, Rosalie sped to open the door, the smiles that came to the girl's faces were so bright, that Athena forget that she was in his position as a guard and forget the protocols and hug Rosalie, Rose hug her like that was the end of the world if she could cry she would -Look at you, so beautiful -she whispers to her baby Rose put a kiss on her forehead, she lifts her head to see Stephen and he gave a smile and he just like his wife hugged her -I will no tell anyone about this -Rose said in a whisper that not even the ones in the house could hear smirking and the other two did the same before going blank, Rose shake her head with a smile -Come on, we were waiting for you...- but she stopped when he saw what was next to her daughter

-I will present them later -Thena said, they enter the house she changed her hair back to being blonde and they saw that they were reunited, the family saw the pair and smiled at them, their little Thena was so changed, they saw her change her hair color to match her hair with Rose, she was a wearing a white suit with black details and a black top, with black heels and she had a snake-shaped tiara in her hair that was loose, showing that they were right with the talk before, Stephen was using grey pants, with formal shoes, a white shirt, and a grey coat also using some jewelry on him, it was obvious that they combine, and they look perfect, using also the Volturi necklace

They saw something that came behind Athena, they open their eyes in surprise, they saw a beautiful type of tiger and a huge snake, the animals gave them a cold face look like they wanted to kill them and at the same time bored to be there, they didn't ask hoping that later they will present them, Athena and Stephen's faces were blank, of course, the family knew that they couldn't show emotion, but the human didn't know anything and now knowing some of the little blonde power scare her to death, and the force that her mate had impressed her and at the same time scare her, they were a combination of perfection and lethality -Edward, Bella you can talk now -Carlisle gave them the word, while the pair raised their eyebrow in surprise not expecting that, but quickly Athena read her mind and wanted to laugh, she also saw that Charlie wanted to kill him, she let out a laugh that shows how much fun she was having reading their minds

-Looks like she doesn't have to be here -Athena's comment

-What does she mean Edward? -Esme asked

-The human is grounded- Athena explains, Esme and Carlisle look at Edward in scolding

-Is because I wanted to talk with all of you -the human explain -You all know what I want... And I know how much I'm asking for, the only thing that I can think of for it to be fair is to just vote...

-You don't know what are you talking about -Edward said

-Shut up- the human said toward her boyfriend- Alice?

-I already consider you my sister- Alice said walking toward her to hug her- Yes

-Thank you

-I vote yes, I don't plan to risk Alice's safety -Jasper explains

-I'm sorry, I'm really sorry to both of you about how I've acted, and I'm really grateful that you were brave enough to go and save him, but this isn't a life I would choose for myself, and I wish that there had been someone to vote no for me and I would like to say no... But I have to say yes, I will not see my family in danger -Athena wanted to cry she thought that Rose pass already that pain, Rose turned to her with a smile and added something else -That doesn't mean that now I'm not grateful for what I have, because I do and I enjoy my life -Thena smile just a little, that if the person doesn't know her will not notice the smile

-I vote hell yeah!! -Emmett exclaims disliking the tense environment- And we can pick a fight with these Volturi some other way -he exclaimed while seeing playfully toward Stephen, that wanted to laugh at his brother but maintain his cold face just like his wife

-I already consider you a part of the family, yes -Esme said with her usual maternal voice, but also taking into account that if they don't do it the Volturi will hurt their kids and husband

Carlisle takes a breath and turns to see the couple he can already imagine why are they here, then turn to look at his son -Why are you doing this to me? You know what this means -Edward said to him in pain, and that earn a scoff from the little blonde and make the human step away lightly from her

-You've chosen not to live without her, which leaves me no choice, I will not put at risk my family for that -the pair share a quick look they like the new leader more now

The human turned to look at the pair that was behind Rosalie and Emmett, they raised their eyebrows in question -I don't know what happen on why you two left the coven, but I know that all of them consider both of you part of the family, and I want to know what do you said about this

-I don't understand why you did this reunion when they HAVE to say yes because if your stupid boyfriend didn't tell you I will tell you if this coven doesn't turn you they will end dead, so is not something that is to vote, and if you didn't hear if you do not turn in six months we will kill you, the Volturi don't give second chances, and it was an order that came from the kings themselves -Athena stated coldly to the human

-This is for you, from our masters Carlisle -Stephen professionally said to him, and serious, he lend him a letter- we will come later in the morning we want to leave our things and we need to rest -the pair turned around and walk away, they heard the door open and close, then there are no more sounds, Carlisle open the letter and start reading aloud

Due to the situation with your son Edward and what happened in Volterra leaves us somewhat concerned, the decision has been made and the human has a period of six months to be transformed into one of our species, due to the evidence seen in the trial it was determined that the leader of the elite guard Athena Volturi and the member of the Kings personal guard Stephen Volturi will be with you that time because unfortunately, we cannot trust his words, we remember the diet that you maintain but because they are on an official mission they will not change their human diet, we are making a small exception thanks to the long friendship we maintain with the clan leader, but the consequences will be applied if you do not comply with your part.

Everyone there turns to look at Edward, the boys there tense immediately and take their mates in protection -This is your fault Edward -Jasper state with venom -I will not think twice to throw you under the bus to protect Alice

-So Athena was right? -Bella asked in concern, Carlisle sight and all of them knew that it was time to tell her something, Edward took the initiative

-Bella, Athena is more powerful than anyone we ever met, she is part of the guard since almost the beginning of the Volturi's, and she is one of the eldest vampires -Edward starts explaining

-She is the leader of the elite guard along with her twins -Carlisle explains

-When we were there did you see the capes and the clothes they were using? -Alice asked Bella, and she nod her head- Do you remember the colors?

-Black and grey -she responds

-You see Bella, the Volturi's have something to tell the importance of the vampire in the coven, the light grey color is called the low guard, the dark grey color like... -Carlisle was explaining

-Demetri and Felix -Edward intervene

-Yes the two of them are part of the high guard, but also are part of the elite guard but are not that important or don't have a special gift -Carlisle explains

-Then there is the most important the elite guard, which is conformed of Alec, Jane, and Athena their capes are black, and Athena's capes are almost pitch black like the ones that used the kings and queens

-So it means she goes after the kings and queens? -the human asked

-She is, after all, she is the Volturi princess -Rosalie said with a proud smile thinking of her baby

-That means Bella, that Athena is untouchable -Edward explains to her- Have you seen how Athena moves and talks like a queen?

-Yes, is like seeing a real queen -she adds

-Is because she is royalty, she is more queen than the real queens -Jasper said this time

-And the queens?

-The queens are Athenodora, Sulpicia, and Dydime but she died a long time ago, from what I heard and the little that I could see they support her one hundred percent for that, and Athena gave the same respect to them just like the one that she has for the kings, they trusted her to do their roll there

-And Stephen? He was also using black -she add in caution

-There is one more guard, is the king's private guards, in that guard not all of them use black capes like Stephen he uses that color because of the gift that he has, and he is the right hand of Caius and he is his personal guard, in trials or meetings he is next to Caius -Carlisle explain

-The other kings have personal guards like Caius? -she asks

-They do, the three of them, but not all of them are their right hands, Stephen is both to Caius, just like Athena is the right hand to Aro but not his guard

-So they both were always with them?

-Athena did since the beginning, Stephen was part of the guard too much time later, I think he enjoy the guard two years later that Alice and Jasper enjoy the coven -Esme add

-You said, twins? The other two vampires that were with her right?

-Yes they are called the witch triplets -Rosalie said with a smirk, the human felt chills remembering the torture

-Their gifts are horrible -she said in a whisper

Rosalie smirk at that and had to ask- You have the opportunity to taste their gifts? Amazing are they right?

The human felt panic just remembering the pain she suffer before- Rosalie! -Esme scold her

-She was the one who touch the topic not me -she defend herself

-Bella is time to go to your house, Charlie is waking up soon -Edward said standing up and taking her hand, seeing is already morning

-Goodbye! -some of them smile at her when they left the house
