THE BEST WAY SHE could describe the sensation she was experiencing was as if Rory Swan had stepped into a dream. In a way, it was like Rory had been lucid dreaming.
For a moment, everyone had been standing still, frozen in time. No one moved a muscle, not that they had the choice to. They waited like pawns. They were the puppets and Rory was pulling the strings.
If her heart was still beating, Rory's adrenaline would be coursing through her veins. Never had she felt so much pressure in one moment.
All she had to do was manipulate Alice Cullen's vision. They knew what the real outcome would be, that everything would be okay in the end. However, she knew that they needed to frighten Aro. She knew that if Alice had shown Aro a peaceful result, he wouldn't feel entirely convinced of leaving the human-vampire hybrid and her family alone.
All Rory had to do was come up with the worst-case scenario, and then they would go home free. All she had to do was manipulate Alice's vision—something she'd never done before. That was all she had to do. All she had to do was frighten Aro freaking Volturi himself.
No pressure.
Rory shut her eyes again, preparing her mind. She had to remember that none of this was real. She had to stay calm. She had to tell herself that no matter who died in this fever dream, she had to keep her cool. Edward, Alice, and Aro were watching—Rory couldn't mess this up.
Rory peeled her eyes open once more, returning back to the scene before her. She glanced around, studying the scene as if she was playing Chess. Then, she made her first move.
Her topaz eyes fell on the pixie-like vampire that had still been confronting the Volturi. "It doesn't matter what I show you. Even when you see, you still won't change your decision!" Alice exclaimed. She turned back to where Rory and the others stood, whispering, "Now!"
Rory looked back at Bella, Renesmee, and Jacob. "Take care of my daughter," she had Bella whisper to Jacob before he took off.
Rory focused her attention on the clairvoyant girl, watching as Alice spun around and kicked Aro harshly. Her foot collided with his jaw, the impact causing him to go flying through the sky. Eyes widened and jaws fell agape.
Rory glanced at Alec—one of the two devil twins on the Volturi Guard. She watched as he snapped his head in Alice's direction, furious. As a matter of fact, most, if not all, of the Volturi appeared to be filled with wrath.
