"The Volturi will come to kill."

Daniella shook in her spot, her trembling hands gripping the dining room chair, yet it only shook along with her body. Every Culle stood in that room, even Raven who was more confused than anyone. They all stood there, listening as Edward's voice dlowed inside the room, holding only the truth as he spoke of the royal group called the Volturi. The name caused chills to run up everyone's spines, especially Daniella's.

Edward, who stood at the end of the table with a maroon colored shirt covering his body, continued, "Aro, of course, will want to read her mind. He will take her hand and read every thought she had." A sigh fell from his lips. "We must call the other Covens, we need as much help as we can get, Carlisle."

The blonde doctor frowned, moving his arms from his back to fold to his front, a saddened look crossing his pale features. "I don't think they'll come, my son. It is too late. They won't be-"

"Unless we take her with us," Alice quipped, tightening her hold on her mate's arm. "Carlisle, I've seen it before. After her being brought into this life, I had a vision of her meeting them, the Denali coven. They're our closest family. Only time would tell when she would meet them and now is the time." Her amber eyes rose to study the clock. "We have twelve hours. We must leave soon, Carlisle."

To herself, Daniella felt more weighed being added to hunched shoulders. Her back was arched as she slumped against the chair, the feeling of sweat falling on her forehead, yet it was never there. "I-I... we should," Daniella chocked, feeling panic climb up her spine. "I need to meet them."

She pushed herself away from the chair, her eyes staying focused on the floor as she wandered to her mate. Their hands interlocked; their eyes never interlocking. "We have twelve hours, correct? I'll grab my shoes and we head up there." Her eyes finally lifted to meet Carlisle's. Daniella's voice grew soft, "We need help, Carlisle. I know you're the leader of this family and coven, but we need help. This is my fault; my accident. Please, understand that we need them." A sigh escaped his lips just as she added, "It's our best option."

His answer was his sigh. He quickly turned around, disappearing for a moment before returning with the jingle of his keys. "Emmett," Carlisle called for his son's attention, "You take Daniella, Edward and Raven. Rosalie-" he called for his daughter's attention, "-take Alice and Jasper. Esme and I will stay here and protect Summer if needed."

Summer.

Daniella stiffened immediately at them mention of her sister and the idea of her being in the middle of danger. Summer Morgan was the only biological family she had, and losing her would kill her. Even if she was already classified as dead. Though, the news classified her as missing.

The curly-haired girl gripped Emmett's arm, signaling that they should leave. Emmett nodded towards his brother and Raven before he was whisking him and Daniella towards the door that lead to the garage. Daniella's hands fell from his to open up her door, pushing herself inside the leather interior. Listening, she heard the two boys pile into the back.

"The Denali coven will be surprised to know who you two are," Edward said from the back, not caring to buckle himself in. "Tanya, Irina, Kate... all of them will be surprised. At least your eye colors have reverted to our shade: gold." She looked back at him then, her eyes showing her eye color in a more brighter way. "They'll be wary at first."

A nod was sent his way by Daniella before her attention was flashed towards the front, the sound of the garage door retreating to reveal the chilly, yet beautiful outside world.

The ride down to Alaska didn't seem as long as Daniella had thought it would take. The whole car ride was filled with old eighties music that fell from the radio, the questions and comments Raven made in the back seat to them, and the sounds of Emmett as he whispered the lyrics of the songs. That always made Daniella's lips curve upwards subtly. Her hands were secured between her legs, her mind keeping her distracted. However, worry still slid within her bones.

But as the car was placed in park, and the car was turned off, she lifted her eyes to settle on a house on top of a hill. Audibly, she gulped; panic going down her throat. Emmett noticed and laid his large bear spa-like hand on her shaking leg. Silently, he calmed her a bit before they all opened their doors and stepped onto the solid ground below them.

"Tanya seems to be the only one coming outside," Edward informed them all, coming to walk in front of them. Suddenly, a blonde woman appeared in front of them, spooking Daniella and Raven. Daniella took note of how beautiful she was. Her hair was tied into a messy bun that rested at the back of her neck, on her body was a rose-colored sweatshirt and a pair of old, bell bottom jeans. On her small feet were a pair of slippers, she looked as if she has a lazy Sunday in her large abode.

"Edward. Emmett," she nodded towards them before her eyes curiously looked between the boy with green hair and the golden-haired female. "New faces. Hello," a small, hesitant wave was sent towards them. Slowly, she maneuvered between Emmett and Edward to grasp Daniella's and Raven's hands. "You don't look that old, you two. May I ask, when were you changed?"

"December," they both answered. Tanya nodded once more, tilting her head to peer over at the two brothers.

"They stay with your coven, yes?" The two males in front nodded stiffly, watching as Tanya turned back to the two members and smiled softly at them. Her voice was soft like her smile, "Well it's nice to meet you and by the way, gorgeous hair, both of you. Yours are like the sun, its rays shining down on here. And yours! Your's is like a venomous green, like a vicious snake. Quite lovely, both of you." Tanya took a step back from them, her ears picking up as her sisters came upon the Olympic coven with curious faces painted upon their marble skin.

"Been some time," Kate smirked at the two boys before focusing her attention on the two new faces piled with them. To her right, Irina was the same, her lips forming into a straight line as she studied them, curious to know who they were. "Newborns, who are you?"

Daniella smiled shyly, opening her lips to mumble out, ",D-Daniella Morgan, but I go by Dani." Using her elbow, she nudged the wild Raven.

"Andrew Raven," he waved awkwardly, his smile wavering as he let his hand fall to his side. Suddenly his eyes pranced towards all three girls, his eyebrows furrowing deeply. "Y'all sisters?"

Each one of their heads rose, nodding swiftly.

An amused smile crossed his lips before he reverted his attention to the snow that he found more entertaining. Daniella smiled at the girls, asking for their names as they came in order as, "Kate."

"Irina."

"And lastly me: Tonya. May I ask, why the sudden visit? I don't mind, but you all seem..." Her voice trailed off as she studied the four of them. Tanya noticed something about all of then. It was as if their skin was telling a story, along with their facial expressions. Each member of the coven showed panic and fear that made her silent heart clench. "You're all worried. What happened?"

Silence filled the space between them. The group of four were silent, afraid to utter out what was haunting them. To say what was causing them to drive down here and cause a surprise visit. So as Daniella looked down at her uggs that rested her feet, she whispered, "Them. The Volturi."

Then instead of silence filling the space between them, panic was filling in the cracks. The three sisters looked at each other, their faces morphing into the same expressions as the Cullens and the two newborns. Instantly, they knew why they had came and instantly, they rejected them.

"Edward, no way." Irina rushed out, curling her arms around herself in a comforting manner. "Why would we stand up to them? What on Earth did you do?"

Kate jumped in after, narrowing her eyes on all four of their guests. "The Volturi? Why are they after you, huh? Does this mean we're in danger too by you coming here to speak with us? What do you want?!" Kate, with her hair tugged into a braid, pulled on the hair tie to expose her straight, pale blonde locks. It was an action out of irritation. Her eyes darted to each figure, catching on how Daniella fidgeted in her spot. "You!"

Before she could charge forward, sparks escaping her palms, her sister pushed on her shoulders, stopping her from moving forward. Tonya's look of confusion hardened into annoyance. "Let them explain, Kate." She pushed her back, making sure she stayed still before letting her attention turn onto the Olympic coven. "Let's explain, yeah?"

Emmett was hesitant to answer. The way his mouth opened and closed as if he was rethinking the words to speak everytime. He was exactly going that. So when Daniella weaved her way to the front to stare at the three blonde sisters, he was silently thankful. At first, she acted like the Male next to her: hesitant to answer. But she grew the courage then, letting her hands curl into tight fists at her sides as she rushed out, "The media. T-They have video of me using my... my enhanced abilities. I'm labeled as missing and so everyone is going haywire. Now, the Volturi is on our backs. Alice had a vision and we need help."

Daniella's fista loosened when Tanya said softly, almost like velvet, "Then we'll be that help. At least I will. Irina? Kate?" Tanya looked back at her siblings, her eyes flashing with something that made both sisters' relax. Irina, at first, looked surprised that her sister would join. Wasn't she nervous like her? But as she stared into her golden eyes, she knew she was. Tanya just chose not to expose it physically. Then for Kate, she stiffened once again, rethinking over the bad things that could happen. Death. Of course, they saw themselves already dead, yet this would be counted as their second deaths. Commonly, Kate would overthink things.

Kate was first to answer back, mostly towards her sister as she kept her golden orbs only on Tanya. "Yes, I'll be apart of that answer also." Irina was on the center of the stage as everyone laid their eyes on her. Like Kate and Irina, she answered, but with a whisper. "I suppose I'll join too."

The sun peaked through the sky and made their skin dazzle suddenly, a thousand diamonds covering their skin. They stood there quietly, each and everyone of them. Some thought of the Vultori, fearing tit what may come. Some thought over the two newborns, curious and at the same time, irritated by why this was happening. Then some felt sympathy for Daniella. The poor girl didn't know that this would happen at all. Tanya rubbed a hand on her forehead, thinking over a plan in her head that quickly made Edward work his magic.

His voice was raised slightly, "Yes, please, come back with us. Grab your car if needed unless you'll..."

Tanya smiled up at her cousin, her pale, pink lips glowing on her sparkling skin. "Of course, we'll run. It'll take less time and so, we'll discuss more with Carlisle, Esme and the others." Tanya was already ready to head off with her outfit suited for the day while Irina and Kate were shoeless. Irina disappeared for a split second after Tanya's eyes landed on their feet, returning only to hold two pair of shoes. In her left were two ballet flats colored in a dark, burgundy color and in her right held a pair of booties in a soft, cream color.

"Whatever happens, I'll be there," Tanya advised the four that belonged to the coven. A small, sweet smile covered her lips as she started to weave her way between Emmett and Edward to only grip the newborns hands with a fascinated look covering her perfect, sculpted face. "You two are just so beautiful and your hair! Oh, I just love that green color. It's uncommon, do you dye it?"

Everyone's eye lifted towards Raven who sheepishly grinned, nodding his head rapidly like an eager kid. The pale blonde chuckled before she disappeared and when everyone else looked to see the other two siblings, they were gone too. "There's two more," Edward muttered, searching around to spot the two dark-haired couple to only come across nothing but miles of milk-white snow that made the coven almost blend in within the flakes. The mind reader sighed as he retreated to the car, slinging himself in the back seat before the leftover three toppled in after.

  "Who are the missing folks?" Daniella questioned as Emmett pulled out, quickly heading back home. "Edward, are there more to the Denali coven?"

  "There is another, besides the two I know are probably running around currently. He's Irina's mate, Laurent. He doesn't use our diet and resides using human blood for his every day diet. Irina has mentioned before that he wishes to join in to our diet, yet that never took off." Edward's voice died off as he kept his golden eyes set outside, watching as the trees blurred by them. For the rest of the ride, the four of them stayed the same: quiet. They all sat, moving here and there, yet remained in their seats with their mouths shut tightly.

  And as Daniella looked out her window as they neared the Cullen home, she looked up to the sky to only find the moon standing still in the middle of the world. Time was closing in on them.
