After dropping Emma off, Novalee took a taxi to Port Angeles and caught a flight to Italy. The plane landed in Volterra, about half an hour away from the castle. Novalee buys a big hat, a scarf, and sunglasses in the gift shop and covers up.

Novalee sees a car with dark tinted windows and a man covered like her holding up a sign with her name on it. She blows out a sigh of relief and she walks over. The man opens the back door and walks around to the front. When the guy uncovers himself, Nova recognizes him.

"Felix," Novalee says.

"You remember me," the tall, red-eyed vampire muses. "Good."

Felix pulls out of the airport parking lot and drives the thirty minutes to the Volturi castle. He parks near the front and the vamp speed inside, thankful there were no humans around. The Volturi guard leads Novalee down the hall and into an elevator. This place is all too familiar to her.

In the throne rooms, Aro stands energetically when he sees Felix bringing Novalee inside.

"Novalee Morningstar," Aro muses as he walks over. "Or, shall I say Cullen?"

"Aro," Novalee muses. "I see that the castle is still standing."

"Of course," Aro replies. "I wanted to tell you something."

"We wanted to tell her something," Caius corrects as he joins Aro's side. "Hello, Novalee."

"Caius," Novalee says tensely, Caius honestly makes her nervous.

"I wanted to tell you that we have found a cure," Aro says, getting straight to the point.

"A cure to what?" Novalee asks curiously.

"To immortality," Aro replies. "There are two of them. If you would like them, you can stay tomorrow, too, while I go with Felix to receive them."

"I want them," Novalee says urgently, thinking of Rosalie. "One of my coven mates... She's my closest friend. We died the same way. She'd like to be human again."

"Very well," Aro says and he claps his hands together, happy. "Jane, bring Novalee a meal. Can you feed from a human while you're staying here?"

"Yes," Novalee says. "Carlisle does not need to know."

"Jane," Aro repeats, and the girl walks out.

Jane looks around sixteen or seventeen. Her blonde hair is tied into a tight bun on top of her head, her eyes are a bright crimson. Jane wears serious face, it appears to be permanent to Novalee. When Jane walks back in, she has a hold of s plump man who is cleanly shaved.

Jane smiles at Nova, actually smiles, and she grabs a knife from the table she's walked to. She cuts the man a little, the blood smell hits Novalee like a ton of bricks as she walks over.

"Here you are, Miss Novalee," Jane says as she holds the man's head to the side.

Novalee gulps before she sinks her teeth into the man, Josh blood tastes so... Good. She ends up on her knees while she drains the human of his blood. Caius watches in awe as the vampire eats the human, draining him completely dry. The kings barely even smell the blood and they don't smell it at all when Novalee drops him.

"Good to the last drop," Novalee says with a smile. "God, I can't wait to be human."

"There is a computer in the library, email your coven mate," Aro says. "Demitri, bring her. Felix, let's go ahead and leave."

Novalee sits at a random computer and she types...

Rosalie, I am at the Volturi castle right now and I mush fimisjed talking to Aro. He's found two cured to immortality. Rose, I told him yes because I thought about you and how you never wished for vampirism. I have the same wish.

I hate being a vampire and I know you want to be a human, and have babies. I want babies, and I want to work as a nurse when I have my degree without wanting to kill someone. So please,please email me back with your opinion.

Novalee hits send and she logs off. Demitri shows Novalee to her room. Novalee's cellphone rings and she sees her blonde friend's beautiful face.

"Rosalie," Novalee says. "Speak so i Can year your voice, my lover."

"Novalee," Rosalie coos. "God, I've missed your voice!"

"I've missed yours, too, Rose," Novalee says. "Did you get my email?"

"Yes, missy, I did," Rosalie replies and I hear Emmett talking to Esme in the background. "And I wanted to thank you so much. I've talked to Emmett."

"And what did my sports opponent have to say about it?" Novalee asks.

"Excuse me?" Emmett asks as he gets on the phone.

"What did you think of what Rosalie told you i said?" Novalee asks.

"It's amazing, actually," Emmett replies. "We can have babies."

"By a sperm bank," Rosalie scolds. "You can't procreate."

"I like to try," Emmett muses.

"Guys, I'm still here!" Novalee exclaims.

"Sorry!" They say at the same time.

"I'll wait till I see you to take my cure, too, Rose," Novalee says.

"Good," Rosalie muses. "I love you, Nova."

"I love you, too, Rosalie," Novalee says amd they hang up.
