Chapter 67 – The Prospect of War

*Violet's POV*

I kept my gaze firm on them, my focus on their thoughts to react the second I felt either Jasper or Alice were in danger. Jasper's thoughts were reassuring, but held a warning. Stay ready. Don't get complacent, just yet. I found myself focusing on Alice's thoughts. The same thoughts that she showed Aro.

She's met another hybrid. This one much more like Renesmee, than myself. He too grew at an extraordinary rate. According to Alice's recollection, forced upon her by Aro's ability, this new hybrid was male. His birth much more frightening, like the folklore we read online. Turned out, those stories weren't so farfetched. Although, looking back, Renesmee could have very well exited from her mother in the same fashion.

This young man grew just as swiftly as Nessie. Another woman, a full vampire, retold the story of watching her nephew grow up. She had raised the boy, soon young man. He grew right before her eyes. I saw as Aro's mouth open wider slightly, but his thoughts weren't in our favor. I let out a soft growl, alerting those around me that something was wrong. I heard someone, maybe more than one person, calling my name as I took a step forward. Edward soon mimicked my movement, having heard Aro's thoughts too.

'Violette, I know you can hear me.' I tensed as Jasper's thoughts caught my attention, my eyes still on Alice to not give it away. 'Be calm. This will go bad. If you're going to focus, focus only on Alice for now; do NOT react. Please. Alice has seen many endings, many that lead to war with you starting it.' My eyes widened at his word's and I felt a grip on my forearm. Looking up, I spotted Edward looking down at me quizzically, yet the fear obviously reflected back.

'What's going on?' He thought to me.

'Babe?' I heard Jacob's and the rest of the pack's collective thoughts. The other vampires were just too focused on Alice to notice. I couldn't just turn to Jasper and nod, the others would suspect something was afoot. Instead, I calmed myself as I was told. In response, I opted on using his own gift against Jasper, calming him back some for just a second before releasing. I felt his budding worry fader away slightly. He understood that I got the message.

'Don't panic. But be ready.' I had been really happy to see Jasper, but in this moment, his presence was beginning to piss me off. His instructions were only worsening my worry and putting me on edge. He was doing the exact opposite.

Despite his warning, it was better said than done. I tried to block out everything focusing on Alice's mind only. It had always been hard for me to focus on just one person's thoughts and block out others. I knew it was something that even Edward struggled with to this day, but it was even harder for me. All this concentrating had me squinting one eye, the pain behind them coming back. I felt Jasper doing his best to calm me, but I knew that he was too focused on his mate's safety. Not that I blamed him.

It felt like a migraine was coming on and I found myself breathing deeply through my nose; the cold air not helping my headache. Soon, the pain became a bit too much and I closed both eyes. I made sure to keep my mind focused on Alice, although Jacob did not make it easy. His thoughts currently felt like battering rams in my head, demanding to be heard. Thankfully, they eased up when I opened both eyes. I felt my shoulders sag slightly, closing my eyes again.

"I'm okay." I whispered, just loud enough for those on my side to hear. Just loud enough to ease Jacob's worry somewhat. My thoughts still on Alice, I saw her memory become fuzzy, distorted somehow. It was like my incoming vision was overlapping with Alice's memory. Or was that a vision she was showing Aro? Regardless, my eyes remained closed as I rode out our meshed together visions and memories from within my own mind
