For whole week Kellan and I waited home, wondering if Jasper and Alice would show up. A whole week without our mates and family, we both wondered what will happen. I called Sam over the phone, explained the situation to him. Letting him know what's going on. Telling them that more vampires will be coming to our land and that they are good but they drank human blood. That part he didn't like but I reassured him that they won't be hunting near here. Eventually, he agreed and since then I haven't heard from him. Bella, Edward, Jake, and Nessie arrived back from their trip since they were the closest one. They went to bring back Tanya and her family. 

Bella explained to me what happened and that raised my fear a little more. I knew the rest of our family would face the same. The fear of the unknown, the main fear of the Volturi. Carlisle brought over some friends from Egypt. 

"Benjamin can influence the elements" Edward informs us as Benjamin did a trick on Nessie's hand.

"I'm next," I said raising my hand to the air. I walked over to him.

"Hello, Benjamin. I'm Amelia" I say extending my hand to him.

"Hello Amelia, nice to meet you," he says shaking my hand. He grabbed my hands, closing them and reopening them a little cloud was above my hand and it began to rain. I laughed at his trick.

"Cool," I said smiling. Before he had a chance to say anything we heard rustling through the woods. Suddenly two dark-skinned women appeared. 

"Who are they?" Bella asked Edward.

"Senna and Zefina" I cut off Edward.

"They're from the Amazon," I said in awe. 

They both turned to me and smiled. Nessie showed them her gift. And one by one were won over, each was made to see. Carlisle convinced his Irish friends to make the journey to Forks. Although we were grateful for their help, their thirst for human blood complicated the situation. The nomads Emmett and Rose sent were even more unpredictable. Especially Peter, who fought alongside Jasper in the vampire war. 

"Lots of red eyes around here," Jake said looking around the room full of vampires.

"They agreed not to hunt in the area," I told him

"But they'll hunt somewhere," he says and I nod. I went over to sit, where Carlisle and I would usually sit. I flop down sighing. 

"What wrong little miss?" Garret says. Garret was one of them many Emmett brought over.

"Oh, nothing," I say sighing.

"She misses grandpa," Nessie says looking at me with a sad face.

"Grandpa?" Garret asked looking confused.

"Carlisle" Edward says.

"Oh, so you're the doctor's mate? Lucky bastard" he smirks and everyone stares at him. 

"What? If I had her as I mate I won't let her out my sight" he says shrugging and I rolled my eyes. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As more vampires set food in their territory more Quileute turned, their nature compels them to join the pack. Bella, Jake, Embry, Edward, Garret, Emmett, and I were outside the house, talking about what will happen. 

"I think we should have the wolves train with us. Just like last time" I tell them.

"I think that's a good idea and plus it'll help with recognizing who's a foe or friend," Garrett said agreeing with me.

"Yes but now we gotta have Sam agree," Jake says staring at me.

"Well then, alpha you go and talk to the other alpha," I say

"You should do it, he'll agree without a doubt," Embry says and I shake my head.

"It was your idea," Emmett said and I glare at him. 

"It'll be good for us," Edward says and I sigh, agreeing with the plan.

"Alright so this is the plan" Garret starts to say but stopped once Carlisle's car pulled up to the driveway. 

I smiled and once I saw Carlisle out of the car I ran to him and gave him a hug. He picked me up from my thighs and held me for a while. Wrapping my arms around his neck and my legs circling his middle, I placed my face in-between this shoulder.  I breathed in his scent, missing the way he smelled, missing the way his body fit perfectly with mine. 

"I missed you,"I whispered. He tightens his hold and breathed in my scent.

"And I did too," he says taking another deep breath.

After a while he gently puts me down, we shared a loving kiss, it wasn't long nor was it short, it was a welcome home kind of kiss. Once we pulled away, we stared at one another and smiled, happy to be with each other once again. We turned our attention to the other and they were staring at us, smiling. 

"How many came?" Carlisle asked Edward. 

"18," Edward says.

"You have some good friends, my love," I say looking up at Carlisle and he looks down at me smiling and agreeing.

"And Alice" Esme asked me, but I was sort of busy admiring my mate. I turn to them and saw Esme hugging Bella, what did I miss?

"Well, we'll all be on Aro's list now. Centuries on the run, that's what you brought me. Some friend, Carlisle" a man says from behind me. 

He had dirty blonde hair, shoulder length, and red eyes. He was staring at me, intensely.

"Alistair, come meet everyone," Carlisle said to him.

I heard a lot about him from Carlisle, he met Alistair a few decades after he became a vampire. He told me that he spend decades with Alistair and he wouldn't utter a word. He would hum and that's about it. That once

"I already told you, if it comes to a flight, I won't stand against the Volturi," Alistair said.

"But it won't come to a fight," I say staring at him. He looks at me, not believing me.

"And how do you know?" he asked.

"Call it a feeling," I say

"A feeling?" he asked unamused.

"Whenever she has a feeling, whether it be good or bad, it always comes true" Carlisle explains to his friend. 

"So what is this like your gift?" he asked me and I shrugged. He stares at me for a couple of seconds and sighs. 

"Whatever, I'll be in the attic," he says before jumping up to the attic. 

"You were right, he's not a people person," I say smiling at Carlisle.

He laughs and agrees. We all went to the backyard where the others were practicing their gifts. We opened our home to 18 vampires, many with gifts of their owns. Zafrina had the power over the mind. She could make anyone see what she wants them too. Zafrina was showing her powers to Bella and Edward, however, Bella wasn't able to see it. Eleazer went over to them.

"Edward you didn't tell me your wife is a shield" he explained and Edward stares at her in awe.

"It's why I couldn't read your mind even before. And it's why Aro couldn't" Edward explains.

"You have a very powerful gift," Eleazar said. Suddenly I see Kate running towards Bella and held her hand.

"Oh, yeah she's a shield, alright. Should have put her on her ass" Kate says and Garret rolls his eyes. 

"Or perhaps your voltage has been exaggerated," Garrett says.

"Maybe it only works on the weak" Kate said to him moving her fingers.

"Garrett doesn't do it,"I say trying to warn him.

"Why?" he looks at me confused along with the others.

"I got a feeling you're gonna be the one on his ass" I smirk at him. He rolls his eyes and walks over to Kate, who was smirking.

"Don't say I didn't warn you!" I said looking at him

"On the other hand you might enjoy it,"I say before he touched Kate's hand. Once he touched her hand he went to his knees, being electrified by Kate's gift.

"You... are one amazing woman," Garrett says looking at Kate in awe.

"See told you he'll enjoy it"I laugh and Eleazar stared at me. 

Before he had the chance to say anything, we heard some growling, laughing and some footsteps coming from the woods. I turn to stare at Carlisle but he was as confused as me. We turn to Edward and shook his head. So we ran into the woods and I didn't expect to see the outcome. There were two men sitting on a hill laughing at Jake, Henry, and William, and little Ron (A/N: random names) in their wolves forms. Once the boys saw us they stopped and turn to us. The two men wore black, one had black short hair and the other had platinum blonde hair. Both had red eyes, meaning they drank human blood.

"What are these two doing here?" Kate asked confused.

"Vladimir, Stefan. You're a long way from home" Carlisle said pulling me closer to him. The blonde one stared at Carlisle hands that were around my waist and frowned.

"We heard that the Volturi were moving against you.... but that you would not stand alone," the brunette said.

"We didn't do what we were accused of," Carlisle said

"We do not care what you did," the blonde one said. 

"We have been waiting a millennium for the Italian scum to be challenged"

"Damn you're that old?" I asked. The dark hair guy smirked at me and the blonde one smiled. 

"It's not our plan to fight the Volturi," Carlisle says ignoring my question/comment. They didn't say anything at first but they did share a look before answering him.

"Shame. Aro's witnesses will be so disappointed" the blonde one says looking at the other.

"They enjoy a good fight," the brunette said. 

"Aro's witnesses?" Eleazar asked looking at Carlisle. 

"Oh, still hoping they'll listen," the blonde one said staring at me.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Carlisle gathered all 18 vampires to the living room, of course, Jake came along as well. I was standing next to Carlisle, he was holding my waist. From across of the room, I say the blond from the woods, staring at me. It didn't give me any weird feelings but I just didn't know why he was staring at me. 

"When Aro wants someone from a coven, it's never long before evidence turns up providing that coven committed some type of crime. It happens so rarely. I never realized it was a pattern. This person always has an ability. And they're always given a place with a Guard." Eleazar explains looking around the room. 

"This is all about Alice. He has no-one like her" Edward says and I frown.

"Which is why she left," Bella said.

"No, she didn't leave. There was another reason for it and once she comes back she'll tell us"I say defending Alice loyalty.

 "So the Volturi intends to use Nessie as an excuse to destroy us and force Alice to join them?" I asked not really helping our situation.

"We're leaving," Amun says standing up along with his mate.

"And go where? What makes you think they'll be satisfied with Alice? What's to stop them from going after Benjamin next? or Zafrina, or Kate, or anyone else here? 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. For the way you want to live." Edward said looking around the room.

"The pack will fight. We've never been afraid of vampires" Jake says standing up. 

"We will fight," Tanya says and the Denali oven stands up.

"This wouldn't be the first time I've fought a king's rule," Garrett said stepping forward.

"We will join you," Benjamin says standing up with his mate.

"NO!" Amun says turning to him.

"I will do the right thing, Amun. You may do as you please" Benjamin said.

"We will stand with you," Senna says as Bella stands up. 

"So will we," Siobhan says as her coven stands with her. Peter and Charlotte step forward and nod in support. 

"That didn't take much," the blond one says and everyone stares at him. 

"Let's hope it won't come to that" Edward says.

"We'll see," Alistar says to Carlisle.

"It won't. No matter how bad this situation look it'll turn good" I say staring at Alistar.

"A feeling?" he asked smirking.

"No" he frowns.

"I know, good always wins,"I say smiling at him and he sighs. 

"Women" he whispers before leaving. 

I smiled at that, I was the only one besides Carlisle that could get him to talk. A part of me believes that he has accepted me as Carlisle mate, it is important for me to get this approval. He is Carlisle longtime friend, in fact, his first vampire friend, and for me to receive his approval will mean a lot. I already have gotten it from the Irish coven and some of his other friends but not Alistar. I was being to believe he didn't like me but whenever he talks to me, I feel like he almost kinda likes me. Not in a romantic way but as an 'I accept your relationship with Carlisle but I'm to damn stubborn to admit it' kinda way.
