Carlisle's Diary

The Watchers (Rogue's POV)

We have the capability of both telekinesis and telepathy which is how I told Edward what was going on, on the field earlier and I could block anyone from reading my mind as well. The reason and only reason we didn't come to you before this confrontation was because of Aro's ability to read minds. I couldn't risk anyone telling him even by accident that we were here. I wanted to catch them unawares. But I want you all to understand, I was never ever going to let any of them harm you. We were there the whole time, just waiting for that cue. I was still hoping Aro would change his mind but I could see when I saw his face and read his mind that, that wasn't going to happen. I also have the power to cause pain, to float, and to fly. These are just the blueprint powers as I call them.

Right now we all live in New York City. But were thinking of moving somewhere else. There's a group of us. There's Alexander and I, Amy and Peter, Corin, and Keith. Keith is also a single Watcher who has been with us for a long time. But he and Peter are the fairly new additions to the group because the rest of us have been together since the very beginning. Peter met Amy in the late 1700s. And Keith joined us in 1876. Peter is the only vampire in our group and he's from Ireland. Keith is American of British decent. Now that Corin and Seth are obviously going to be together and we don't separate, looks like the rest of us will be looking for some houses to build here in Hanover. I hope you don't mind us coming here."

I finished speaking finally and looked at the Cullen's, their Denali counterparts, and pack of wolves. Then I looked at Corin and Seth who had finally joined us and were sitting next to each other. They couldn't stop staring at each other. I saw Michelle roll her eyes and giggle. Well didn't this all turn out interesting and ironically perfect. We were looking to move somewhere, where Peter didn't have to sparkle and Hanover looked pretty good. It was Carlisle that spoke first:

"Rogue, you are very welcome to come here. We would love for you and your loved ones to join us up here. In fact, we would really like to help you build your homes." The other Cullen's nodded eagerly.

"Absolutely, dear. You saved our lives, it's the very least we can do." Carlisle's wife Esme said.

"Thank you, we'd really appreciate the help, especially since we don't know the area too well. And my fiancé is tired of sparkling in Manhattan." Amy said with a laugh. We all laughed at that.

"Wait a minute, if you and Peter have known each other since the 1700s, why are you only engaged and not married?" Asked Alice curiously.

"Alice, don't be nosy!" Esme chided.

"No no it's ok. I mean we've done so much that I guess it never really crossed our minds to plan a wedding. We aren't really good at stuff like that. Rogue and Alexander got married immediately after they became Watchers. They already had their whole wedding planned out. In our time when you were chosen to be a Watcher and become immortal, it was looked upon as a blessed miracle by your family." Amy explained.

"Yeah, Amy is 25 or was at the time she was changed and I am or was 21; which makes Rogue the oldest." Piped in Corin.

"And I became a junior Watcher when my parents became Watchers. And we're originally from Italy." Michelle said as she was sitting next to Nessie holding her hand.

"When it comes to interacting with humans, I have to change my name a bit. As you can see my girls here all have normal human names. Meanwhile, mine is like that of a warrior. So just for the purpose of dealing with humans, I call myself Rose. Rose Melanides. If I ever need documents or passports, that's what is written on them. But I only answer to that name when a human speaks with me. Otherwise, to every other species, I'm Rogue." I explained with a smile.

"Is that what your mother named you? Rogue I mean." Rosalie asked.

"Yes, she did because she had a difficult time delivering me and I came out my way. I was a fighter. A warrior from the start. So Rogue it was. I always liked my name. Rose sounds too fluffy for me personally. No offense to you Rosalie." I said quickly with a smile before I offended anyone. Oops.

"No, I get what you mean." Rosalie said, amazingly understanding.

Just then my phone rang. I excused myself and picked it up. It was my wonderful husband. I had already told him all was over via a small text but now he was calling to see what was still going on. I gave him the gist of it, including the fact that we were moving to Hanover. He was glad everything worked out, no one got hurt, and the Volturi were obliterated. He out of everyone I think hated the Volturi the most. I knew Keith was nearby so he could hear what I was saying. I also told him that Seth, the shape shifter had imprinted on Corin. There was a beat of silence and then a "Wow". Then he said he wanted to come up and meet everyone. He said that he could be there in about 5 minutes. Flying enables us to get from point A to point B very quickly. And that Keith and Peter were coming too; I knew Peter was missing Amy. Peter being the vampire would hitch a ride with Keith in order to get here faster. I said alright. Then I went to tell the others.

"So that was Alexander. He is very excited about everything including the fact that we got rid of the Volturi. He hated them more than anyone I know. He and the others are very anxious to meet all of you so they will be here in a few minutes."

"Wait how.....are they going to get here so fast......from New York?" Garrett asked puzzled.

"Remember I mentioned our ability to fly? We save a lot of money on plane tickets." I said with a laugh.

"But isn't Peter a vampire you said?" Emmett asked.

"Yes but he can hitch a ride with either Alexander or Keith. Each of us Watchers can take one person as a 'passenger' as we call it." I explained. Everyone wowed.

"Hey, maybe we can show you guys how that works one of these days." Corin offered looking at Seth and giggling.

"Oh Cool! Wow....Yeah!" Seth exclaimed excited. We all laughed.

I could tell that the Cullen's and their friends needed some time to absorb everything we've told them. So I let them talk amongst themselves. Meanwhile, I walked outside to wait for the arrival of the others. I was soon joined by Amy and Leah who smiled at us and said she just wanted some fresh air. As Alexander and the others approached, I felt a charge in the area. It wasn't something I've ever felt when they were coming. It wasn't a negative charge but as if something was supposed to happen. It puzzled me until the very last moment when Alexander, Keith, and Peter appeared. Amy flew into Peter's arms and as I watched from the porch Leah stared at Keith and vice versa. Alexander must have felt the charge as well because he looked at them with first a puzzled and then amazed expression. As I understood, I shook my head and laughed.

"That's two for two!"

"Wow!" Said Amy.

"Well they are brother and sister. They shape shifted for the first time together. Only makes sense that they imprint within hours of each other!" I said as I walked down the stairs and into Alexander's embrace. We hugged and kissed for a long time. I've missed my hubby.

Then the other Cullen's came outside as they heard the commotion and between the mind reading and pack minds everyone knew without being told what had happened. Then Carlisle invited everyone back in to continue the conversation now that everyone was up to speed. It felt wonderful to be with my love, my group, and our new friends. I smiled; Alexander and I wrapped each of our arms around each other's waists and walked into the house.
