It took days before the witches and wizards completely warded each and every house in Forks. True to their words, the wolf pack and the Cullens were able to be civil and work together alternately. Although the alliance between the wolves and vampires wasn't an easy one, the existence of the witches and wizards minimized the hostility towards each other.

Aquila, Teddy and Delphi were in the car with Edward as he drove them towards the Black Manor so he could go hunt. But on their way, they saw Jacob leaning against his car. They didn't stop driving though. Edward knew Aquila is still furious after Jacob called her godchildren bastards.

"Doesn't he own a shirt?" Edward asked as they were out of Jacob's earshot.

"Don't know, don't care." Aquila said as they parked outside the manor. She saw the hesitation in his eyes so he took his hand and kissed it. "We're good here. You should go. My friends are dying to play with Teddy and Delphi."

"I'm not gonna be gone long." Edward said with determination.

"I know you won't." Aquila smiled as they both leaned in for a quick kiss.

They were cut off by Delphi and Teddy waking up from their nap. They both love to take naps every car ride. Aquila and Edward chuckled at their pouting lips and furrowed brows, visibly displeased that the car had come to a stopped.

Aquila and Edward got out of the car and went to take Delphi and Teddy from the back. Pansy, Theo and Blaise were already walking towards them with bright smiles on their faces. Not bothering to greet the vampire and witch, Pansy and Theo headed straight to take the babies out of Aquila and Edward's arms.

Blaise smirked at their friends and whispered to Edward and Aquila, "Don't feel too hurt that they didn't greet you two. They caught some kind of baby fever."

"And you didn't?" Aquila raised her brow at her friend.

"Ask your mind-reader of a boyfriend." Blaise said as he ran to Theo and Pansy's side.

Aquila and Edward shook their heads with an amused smile.

Later that night Aquila was invited by Billy to attend their council meeting. She politely declined and sent Harry, Ron and Hermione in her place. Harry because Leah imprinted on her, Ron because wherever Harry goes, he'd follow and Hermione because Aquila knew she'd be fascinated by the shifter's history.

The next day...

"Seattle is in a state of terror. Police are baffled by the escalating murders and disappearances. Theories range from a vicious new gang to a widely active serial killer. Reporting live, Dawn Chubai, CNN." Edward and Aquila heard as they walked into the living room of the Cullens' house. They saw Carlisle, Emmett, Fred, George and Jasper watching the news.

"It's getting worse. We're going to have to do something." Carlisle said.

"It takes more than one of our kind to cause the damage they're reporting. Quite a few more. They're undisciplined, conspicuous." Jasper analyzed.

"It's newborns." Edward added.

"Babies..."

"Or newly turned vampires?"

Fred and George asked.

"They're newly turned vampires." Aquila answered.

Edward nodded at what Aquila said, "In the first few months after the change."

"That's when we're at our most uncontrollable, vicious, insane with thirst." Jasper added.

"Something to look forward to." Emmett smirked which the Weasley twins mirrored.

"No one's trained these newborns, but this isn't random." Jasper said as he faced Carlisle.

The Cullen patriarch realized something, "Someone's creating an army."

"Well now we're definitely going to Seattle." Emmett stood up from the couch with the Weasley twins as they also speak.

"Gotta spread mischief..."

"Until everything is managed."

"An army of newborn vampires..." Aquila pondered. 'Why does this feel familiar?'

"And they've been created to fight someone." Jasper told them.

"We're the only clan ever close to Seattle." Edward stated.

"Regardless of why they were made, if we don't put a stop to them, the Volturi will. I'm surprised they've let it go this long." Carlisle said with confusion and worry.

"Maybe they're behind it. In Italy, I read Aro's mind. He wants Alice and I to join him, but he knows we'll never choose him as long as our family's still alive. He might also hope the newborns would eliminate Aquila because he saw her as a threat to their authority." Edward told everyone.

"An army could solve that for him." Jasper concluded.

"This is like 1975 all over again. Tom Riddle recruiting young pureblood wizards to join him with the promise of power and authority. Just like those young pureblood who were either tempted with the potential of dark magic or forced by their extremist family, these newborns were either promised immortality and absolute power or were forced to turn by the one behind this." Aquila stated sadly. "If we can give some of them the option to chose a different path maybe some of them would take it. I doubt whoever is behind this would tell them the laws of your kind thus the rash attacks. Maybe they weren't given the choice to turn and they don't know anything better. They were thrusted in the supernatural world and are being used as a pawn regardless of the target. Maybe they just need someone to help them towards the right path."

Charlie was looking at the flyer of a missing person. Riley Biers. He was one of the people who mysteriously disappeared. Charlie was pondering how they could find him when Aquila entered and hugged him from the back.

"Hey Uncle C. Did you eat dinner yet?" Aquila asked.

Charlie didn't expected Aquila to be home early so he did a double take and sighted. "Yeah. Andy forced me to eat her food."

"When you phrase it like that, it makes me think that she forced you. You don't look that forced though." Aquila smirked at her uncle.

Charlie rolled his eyes at his niece. "Don't start we me, young lady." He then sighted and turned his gaze on the flyer. "This kid, Riley Biers, disappeared over a year ago. And his poor parents have been papering Seattle with these things ever since."

"You think they should just give up?" Aquila asked with a sad tone.

"Well, I wouldn't if it were you." Charlie pulled Aquila closer to him. "Not ever. Your mother didn't give up searching for your uncle when Regulus disappeared."

"I didn't know that." Aquila looked down sadly.

"Not many people do. Not even your father."

"Edward?" Aquila whispered as the vampire held her in his arms.

"Yes my star?" Edward asked.

"Are you against me becoming like you?" Aquila asked.

"I've told you."

"Be honest with me, please. You're the one who's gonna have to put up with me if I turn." Aquila plead. Her voice was somewhat joking but her eyes held sadness.

"I know the consequences of this choice you're making. I've live through it. And to let you suffer that..." Edward trailed off. He couldn't bare to witness Aquila hating herself if she ever does something she didn't want to do when she turns. "You believe I have a soul, and I don't. But go risk yours, just for the sake of never having to lose you, that's the most selfish thing I'll ever do."

"But you aren't the one who's going to do it, I will. It's my decision, not anybody else's. And we aren't going to do it on a whim. We still have a lot of time. But... Will you still love me if I become too different? I wouldn't be warm and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't smell the same." Aquila asked.

Edward only smiled warmly at his mate. "You'll always be my AC." He said caressing her cheeks as Aquila buried her head on his chest. "My Aquila, just less fragile." Edward jested making Aquila snort at him.

Aquila was sitting in between Edward and Harry. Draco, Hermione and Ron were seated behind them. Alice and Jasper on the other hand were at the front. Charlie, Andromeda, Narcissa, Teddy, Delphi, the Cullens and the other wizards and witches were sitting together.

Edward and Aquila were holding each other as they listened to Jessica's speech. Then it was finally time to take their diploma. Loud cheers were heard as Aquila's name was called. Aquila chuckled as she saw Teddy and Delphi clapping as they saw her on stage. The loud cheers were heard as Edward, Jasper, Alice, Draco, Hermione, Ron and Harry came up to the stage too.

Hugs and congratulations were exchanged as everyone headed to the Cullens' house. Alice decided to throw a graduation party, mainly for Aquila and the Golden Trio. She thinks they deserve a well planned graduation party since they weren't able to experience it because they refused to go back to Hogwarts.

Aquila was walking around the house searching for Hermione, Pansy, Ginny and Rosalie. She needs her as her back up to scold Blaise, Theo, Fred and George for spiking the normal punch with fire whiskey. Edward went to go talk to Carlisle and Jasper about something. Aquila then walked into the living room which became the dance area.

Aquila was about to head onto a drunk Hermione's direction when she saw Embry, Quil and Jacob enter. Aquila's smile fell as he sneered at Jacob. "What are you doing here? Hello Embry, hello Quil."

Jacob averted his gaze as Embry decided to step in, "Hi Aquila! Harry invited us."

"Aww he invited you guys but not his girl? I have to teach Harold some lessons in wooing a girl." Embry and Quil laughed at Aquila's statement. "Well then. Enjoy the party boys." She excused herself and was on her way to ignore Jacob when he held his wrist.

"Look, Aquila, I'm sorry about you know, what I said. I'd blame it on the whole inner animal thing, but it was really just me being an ass. I'm really sorry." He apologized sincerely. "I brought you something." Jacob pulled out a bracelet with a wolf on it. "A graduation present. I made it myself."

"It's pretty, thank you. I'll wear it after you earn my forgiveness." Aquila said with a small smile.

The next thing they know, Alice, who was walking down the stairs, froze as she got into trance with her vision. Aquila excused herself again and went into Alice's side.

"Alice, what'd you see?" Aquila asked worriedly.

"The decision's been made." Alice said.

"What's going on?" Jacob asked as he came up to them.

"You won't go to Seattle alone." Aquila insisted.

"No, they're coming here."

A/N:

Hello dearest! Y'all have shown this book so much love that I dread writing it's ending. I was in fact writing the third part which is why I haven't updated this story yet and let me tell y'all! I have an alternate ending and I don't know if I should post it before the third part or after the third part.

Anywho, I've missed y'all! I can see all your comments and I'm reading each and everyone of them. I'm a little shy to reply so bear with me.
