' light is easy to love,

show me your darkness '

"AH. YOUNG BELLA. IMMORTALITY BECOMES YOU." Raising a brow, I stared at the king of the Volturi with a slightly disgusted look in my eyes. Aro smiles before letting out a shriek of laughter once he hears the hybrids faint heartbeat. My eyebrows raise to the roof as I silently let out a snort of laughter, amusement glinting in my eyes at the strange sound the so-called tough king just made in front of everyone. "I hear her strange heart."

'Of course, Dumbass. We all do.' I could see Bella's boo inhale deeply and I flashed him a grin once I realised he could read minds. Aro extends his hand out to the child, crouching down to her height.

"Hello, Aro." It seems that the brunette got her guts from her mother because she was not afraid at all. The child, Renesmee, then touched Aro's cheek, using her powers on him. Aro then becomes transfixed by what she was showing him.

"Magnifico! Half mortal, half immortal" Aro replied once Renesmee removed her hand from his cold face. I note down to remind her to wash her hands afterwards. "Conceived and carried by this newborn while she was still human."

"Impossible!" The blonde king said with a shocked look on his face. Standing in front of the vampires on my side, a dangerous look glinted in my eyes as I shielded Bella and her family from anyone who was going to attack us.

If anyone did, however, I would act on my hunter instincts, my fingers curling around my knife that rested in my pants, shielded from their view but I was reassured as the cold metallic feeling pressed against my stomach.

"Do you think they fooled me, brother?" Taking this as the time to leave, I tug on Bella's hand, and we all walk back to our side of the clearing.

"Bring the informer forward." A blonde vampire is pushed to the front, and I watched as some of the vampires on my side tense up. "Is that the child you saw?"

"I'm not sure." She replied, obviously scared shitless. I was so not bothered to listen to the vampires argue like little children. Looking down, I began to dig my feet into the snow, burying it down before creating a smiley face with feet.

"IRINA!" Hearing the sound of something burning, I rose a brow once I saw the blonde being burnt to a crisp. Seeing the distressed look on Bella's face, I let out a sigh and teleported myself to the blonde with the straight hair, wrapping my arms around her and holding her in place. Feeling sparks electrocute me, I grabbed the blonde's arm, applying enough pressure to hear the all too familiar cracks ring around the snowy clearing.

"Blind them." I heard Renesmee's father say to the Amazon lady, who used her powers on the two sisters.

"We must attack!" I rolled my eyes at the curly blonde.

"Tanya, this is what they want. If you attack now, we'll all die." Once Bella's husband looked at Zafrina, who removed her powers, I took a step back and quickly watch with amusement as he fell to the ground in agony.

"Pain." I heard the tiny blonde on the Volturi say. I was quite suprised that she possesed that kind of power. She looked like a tiny dwarf in my opinion.

"It's working." I looked towards the bronze haired vampire as he stared with Bella in proud. I felt a translucent blanket wrap around me as I realise she was using her powers to shield the group from Jane's powers. My heart swells with a sense of proud once the titchy blonde realises her powers are useless against Bella's shield.

'Take that, dumbass.'

I watched as Aro did his whole monologue for us, not interested in the slightest.

"Aro, you see there's no law broken here."

"Agreed. But does it then follow that there is no danger? For the first time in our history, humans pose a threat to our kind. Their modern technology has given birth to weapons that could destroy us. Maintaining our secret has never been more imperative. In such perilous times, only the known is safe. Only the known is tolerable. And we know nothing of what this child will become. Can we live with such uncertainty? Spare ourselves a fight today, only to die tomorrow." I watched as Aro did his whole monologue for us, not interested in the slightest.

Hearing the rustle of trees, I looked over towards the direction of the sound.

"Alice." Two wonderful scents filled my nose as I inhaled deeply, eyes darkening.

The first scent smelled like old coffee parchment and the other was like berries, both of the scents made me feel like I was on cloud nine. I snapped my head towards two walking figures. There were a guy and girl. The girl looked back, and I couldn't help but let out a small gasp as her eyes locked with mine, an unknown feeling blossoming in my chest.

She stopped walking for a bit before remembering where she was and started walking to Aro. My instincts took over a bit, and I was walking forward, wanting to be closer to the both of them but I was stopped by the Bronze haired dude who stretched his arm, preventing me from going towards them. I glared at him, my eyes turning black. He shook his head, knowing exactly why I'm acting like this.

"My dear, dear Alice...." I growled lowly before turning around and looking at Bella's baby girl. I walked towards her, introducing myself.

"Hi. I'm Eleanore Smith, Bella's best friend slash sister." I greeted. She smiled. I started telling her stories of her mum when she was younger. She was laughing as well as me. I needed a distraction, and this would do. I soon realised that the Volturi was leaving. I smiled as Bella came up to me for a hug. I nuzzled my head into her neck, sighing in comfort. She smiled.

"Oh, how I have missed your hugs." Bella laughed and squeezed me tighter, which caused me to gasp for breath. "Bella! To tight! Can't breath!" I exclaimed. She quickly unwrapped her arms and started apologising. I laughed, kissing her cheek. Hearing a low growl coming from behind Bella, I looked at the sound and saw the hot pixie with furious golden eyes.

I rose a brow before shrugging it off. "So, tell me how have you been. Oh! I want to meet this husband of yours. Is that him?" I asked, pointing at a bronze haired man. She nodded, smiling. He walked up to me and held his hand out. I grabbed it and shook it before squeezing it, bringing him to his knees.

The others gasped, shocked that a human girl could bring a vampire to its knees. However, two gasps quickly overtook my senses.

Looking up I saw Alice as well as the blonde guy. Their eyes were focused directly on me, and I could feel my heart speed up. Their gold eyes trapped my own brown eyes in theirs. I felt Bella's husband try and take that as a chance to move, but I tightened my grip, smirking as I broke our eye contact to look at her husband, who was in pain. My smirk widened and leant close to his ear.

"Hurt her even once, and I'll kill you,"
