In Volterra, a member of the Guard escorts Irina to the main room, where the Volturi find themselves reading some antique books.
-What a lovely surprise. - Aro speaks when seeing the girl.
He quickly analyses her before lookiing back down to the book.
-What do you want? - Caius turn at stare at the visitor.
-I've come to report a crime. - Irina takes some steps forward. - The Cullens. They've done something terrrible.
Aro shuts the book when hearing suck surname, finding himself in front of Irina in less than a second. The girl doubting what she just admitted is true or not.
-Allow me. - He smiles before taking her hand, starting to read each of her thoughts. The smile on the man's face disappears when seeing his daughter little boy that flies for a few seconds to catch a snowflake. Aro lets go off Irina hand abruptly, shaking his head. - Blimey. - He whispers, slightly disappointed in his own daughter. He returns to his chair, smiling at the plan in mind. - We should give the Cullens a visit. - He smiles lightly. - Put our guest in a room.
Irina is escorted by another Guard member towards another part of the castle. Aro turn to his brothers, a wide smile on his face.
-My beloved daughter will be by my side. - The man assures, walking up to the chair in order to resume his reading.
In Forks, the Cullens find themselves watching Little Cedric playing the piano alongside his father. Esme and Carlisle are playing chess. Jasper reads a book while Alessandra, Rosalie, Emmett, Little Lillian, Seth, Leah, and Thomas watch Cedric play the piano with smiles on their faces.
Alice enters the living room, holding a flower pot while listening to the melody Cedric has been learning over the past days. She stops on her tracks when having a sudden vision.
The woods, the snow, the Guard, the Volturi and Irina.
The flower pot slips from the seer's hands, startling everyone present. Jasper turn to his partner, shutting his book and approaching her.
-What is it? - Esme and Carlisle get up, Alice looking at Jasper with worry.
Cedric stops playing when seeing his aunt's afflicted expresson.
-The Volturi. They're coming for us. - Alessandra tenses after hearing those words. - Aro, Caius, Marcus, the Guard, and Irina.
-Son, come here. - Alessandra asks Cedric.
The little one obeys its mother and approaches her. Alli takes her son's shoulders, turning to Alice. Emmett carries his daughter, who hides her face in his neck.
-Why? - Carlisle asks Alice, taking a step forward.
-What did Irina see in the woods? - Edward asks his wife, who analyses the moment she saw the blonde.
-We were walking. - Alli explains.
-The kids were just catching snowflakes. - Rosalie rubs her daughter's, who refuses to get out of her hiding spot: her dad's neck.
-O-Okay. - Edward glances at his son before looking back at his blonde sister. Seconds later, his eyes fall on his wife's, which seem to show confusion.
-Sweetie, what's wrong? - She asks worriedly.
-Irina thinks Cedric and Lillian are immortal children. - The girl frowns, unaware of such story.
The brunette looks down to her son, who is looking at his parents with confusion.

-The immortal children were wonderful, charming creatures. Being with them meant loving them but their development froze at the age they were turned; uncontrollable, disobedient. - Carlisle begins explaining as Alessandra flips through the pages of an ancient book about the immortal children. Little cedric and Little Lillian find themselves sleeping while Rosalie watches over them. Alli analyses the images, imagining those scenarios in real life. - A single tantrum could destroy an entire village. - Alli notices her hands and chest starting to glow. - The humans ran away from such devastation. Rumors were spread and the Volturi had to take action. Since the children couldn't keep our secret, they had to be destroyed.
Alessandra shuts the book abruptly, catching everyone's attention. The book disappears, demonstrating her anger. The brunette controls her gift, making the book reappear on the table.
-Their creators got too attached, fighted to protect them. Bonds were broken, humans were slaughtered. - The girl crosses her arms, listening to her father-in-law. - Traditions, friendships, even families were lost.
-Denali's mother created an immortal child? - Alli inquires, thinking on her own family.
-Yes, and she paid the price. - The girl looks down when imagining the Denalis' mother being assasined before their eyes.
-Cedric and Lillin aren't like them, they weren't bitten. - She sneeres, her expression angry towards Carlisle. - Cedrc was born when was still human and Lillian was born when Rose was human in my reality. They both grow every single day.
-Can't you explain it to the Volturi? - Thomas crosses his arms, standing beside Seth and Leah.
-There's enough proof in Irina's head. - Edward explains, leaning on a bookshelf while looking at his wife.
Alessandra gets up, her hands ticklish. She approaches her husband, who takes her waist immediately and leaves a kiss on her forehead to calm her down. The girl's hands, chest, and eyes stop glowing when having him near.
-So let's fight then. - Seth suggests firmly.
-Their weapons are too powerful. No one's able against Jane. - Jasper reminds, taking Alice's waist, who's been keeping quiet.
-Alec's worse. - The pixie-haired adds, but her comment makes Alessandra smirk.
-Just by looking at those two, they'll be ending up in ashes in a fireplace. - She assures, Edward smiling and shortly kissing her head. - We'll convince them instead.
-They're coming to kill us, girlie, not to chitchat. And you perfectly know your biological father doesn't do talking. - Emmett glances at her before turning to Carlisle.
-You're right, they're not gonna listen. But there may be another way. - Edward speaks. - Carlisle, we have friends all over the world.
-I'm not gonna ask them to fight. - The man replies.
-Not fight. Witness.
-If enough people knows he truth, we could convince he Volturi. - Alli explains, understanding her husband's idea.
-Our friends would do that. - Esme tells her husband, who half-smiles at her and takes her hand to stroke it delicately.
-My father can't hurt us. - Alli whispers. - He committed the same crime with me. He got my mother pregnant in this reality when she was already turned. If it wasn't because she returned to my reality, I would have died or would have been an immortal child. - Edward pulls her closer after hearing about the possibility of her being dead. - If Aro's coming for that same crime, he will also have to pay for what he did long ago.
The girl glances at her family before exiting the library. Hearing how someone follows her, knowing it's her husband.
-Sweetheart... - The brunette stops on her tracks and turns around, facing him.
-I'm scared, Edward. I don't want anything to happen to our son or to our family.
-My love... - Edward takes her hands in his. - It's all gonna be all right. We'll find the way of getting to an agreement without the need to fight.
Alli keeps quiet, thinking on other options that don't include danger for her family. Edward starts caressing her cheek, knowing it makes her feel better. The girl leans her head on his hand while closing her eyes.
-For my family, I'm capable of anything.
-I know, but I'm not gonna let you put yourself in danger when there's another way of convincing the Volturi. - Alessandra glances up at him before looking back down.
She starts creating a plan in case things don't turn out as planned. Maybe she can get to an agreement with her biological father.
Joining them is not an option since she'd be giving the honor to Aro and she doesn't want to leave her family alone. She could go to Volterra and demonstrate that Cedric and Lillian are completely harmless. Aro committed the exact same crime with her, so if she wanted to make him pay, he'd be the first one to pay for his actions.
♥️GUESS WHAT..............
