Lilliana Swan (Unedited)

Chapter 31

"The Immortal Children were very beautiful. So enchanting. To be near them was love them. But their development was frozen at the age they were turned. They couldn't be taught or restrained. A single tantrum could destroy an entire village. Humans heard about the devastation. Stories spread. The Volturi were forced to intervene. Since the Children couldn't protect our secret, they had to be destroyed. Their creators grew very attached and fought to protect them. Long-established covens were torn apart. Countless humans slaughtered. Traditions, friends, even families. Lost." Carlisle said

"The spell was not meant for children. It was meant for those who wanted to live. Who wanted to learn." I said

"So the Denalis' mother made an Immortal Child?" Bella asked

"Yes. And she paid the price." Carlisle said

"Well, Renesmee's nothing like those children. She was born, not bitten. She grows every single day." Bella said

"So can't you just explain that to the Volturi?" Jacob asked

"Aro has enough proof in Irina's thoughts." Edward said

"What about Ana? You guys said they were scared of her." Jacob said

"No." Jasper said

"So we fight." Jacob said

"Their offensive weapons are too powerful. No one can stand against Jane." Jasper said

"Alec's even worse." Alice said

"Bella wasn't effected by Jane and I know how to get around Alec." I said

"Well, then we convince them." Bella said

"They're coming to kill us, not to talk." Emmett said

"No, you're right. They won't listen to us, maybe Ana. But maybe others can convince them. Carlisle, you have friends all around the world. And Ana has others as well." Edward said

"I won't ask them to fight." Carlisle said

"Nor will I." I said

"Not fight. Witness. If enough people knew the truth, maybe we could convince the Volturi to listen." Edward said

Esme turns to Carlisle.

"We can ask this of our friends." Esme said

Everyone starts packing to leave to find vampires. I was standing outside just looking out at the woods. Emily walks up behind me.

"Why aren't you packing?" Emily asked

"For the first in my entire life I don't know what to do." I said

"What do you mean?" Emily asked

"To ask for the help. To take down and destroy everything I've built or do nothing as they threaten my family. And then there is Caius." I said

"What about Caius?" Jasper said

"I think I should go." Emily said

Emily then headed back inside.

"Nothing." I said

"Come on tell me?" Jasper said

"Fine. I've known Caius a long time. If we have to fight them I don't know what I'm going to do." I said

"It won't come to fighting." Jasper said

"No matter what you decide I will be by your side. I love you, Lilly." Jasper said

"And I love you Jasper." I said

I hear a twig snap. I look to see Sam. Carlisle and Jacob exit the house.
