A couple of weeks after speaking with my Mum, I had left the kids with Jack and made my way over to the main family house. Opening the door I walked in.
"Mom are you ready? I have to be back for...." I stopped in my tracks "Four." There was no way in hell that what I could be seeing was true. I dropped my back and got in a fighting stance.
"Alison, please they come in peace." Grandpa stated I looked at Alec and Jane.
"They're Volturi, they never come in peace." I moved to stand in front of my family.
"They have this time, haven't you Jane." Grandpa said
"Of course." She gave a tight smile
"What are they doing here?" I questioned still not taking my guard down for them. I however dropped my metal protection.
Dad, Dad if you can hear me touched my back I felt a hand comfort my mid back
I need you to take my phone out of my back pocket and message Jack to come over and for Jake to look after the kids. Most of my energy is focused on these two and talking to you. I felt the phone slide out of my back pocket
"Aro wishes to see the children and the progress they've made since he last saw them." Alec informed me
"Well dumb, dumb encase it has escaped your eyes we're not children anymore and he doesn't wish to see progress he wants to know if we're any use to him. If were...guard material. I may be a young hybrid but I ain't stupid." I felt Dad slip the phone back into my front pocket.
"Aro and Caius are especially interested to meet the newest member of your coven." Just then Jackson open the door and sped to my side.
"What's going on?" Jackson wondered
"The two are from the Volturi, they want us three to go to Italy to see the powers that be." Renesmee caught him up
"Right and If we don't?"
"Pain." Jane muttered Jackson groaned and grabbed his hand and My Mom's expanding her shield. Jackson stood more straighter
"There was no need to get pissy about it. It was just a question."
"Alison, please calm down. You're shaking the whole room." My eyes flickered around and I saw the decor shaking. Jackson brought me into his arms and I breathed in his scent, calming down
"I thought the blonde haired one was mated to a...mutt." I glared at Alec so intensely that he started to choke and cough up white substance.
"Allison!" Grandpa called and I looked away closing my eyes and leaning into my husband.
"Right so all three of us need to do is leave and pack for the first flight to Italy. " Jackson reasoned
"We'll stay here." Jane took a seat
"To be fair we don't trust you, so you can go as far away from here and we will me you in a hour or so" I sneered
"Jane seen as this is an invitations and not a arrest of any kind. It would be fair seen as they have already agreed to travel with you to meet us at the plane."
"Sister." Alec turned to his sister and had a silent conversation with her.
"Very well. One hour." They left and I let go a long breath. I turned to the others.
"Emmett, Jasper and Rosalie can you stay with Jake to watch over the kids?"
"Of course" Jasper nodded his head slightly.
"I guess we better get packing then." Renesmee muttered and we all dispersed. Arriving back home Jake stood up from his game with the kids.
"What's going on?" I gestured to follow me so I could tell him what was going on.
-Jackson-
"Hey." I knelt down to face Faith, Johnny and Abi. "Sorry I had to just go like that."
"Where did you go Dad?" Faith wondered
"Yeah and why is Mom back I thought she was going shopping with Grandma?" Johnny continued
"Well your Mom ran into some unwelcome visitors." I sat more comfortably
"Do you remember when Your Mom and I told you about the Volturi?" they nodded
"Well two of their member from their guard came to invite us back."
"Why?" Abi questioned holding her bunny.
"Well when your Mom was little and they didn't understand her or your Aunt they thought she was dangerous. But your Moms family and friends proved they weren't so they left. But now they want to know more about them and meet me because I'm the newest full vampire to the family."
"If you're just going to visit, why do you look so sad?" Faith came to sit on my lap.
"You are smart. Well I have never met them before and even thought they have said it is just to talk, sometimes they like to collect vampire, like Abi collects dolls."
"Will they take Mom?"
"Not if I have anything to do about it." We looked to Ali who just came in with Jacob. She joined us.
"I'm sure they just want to talk but I want you to know that I will put you first, always. So I need you to listen to Jacob, Rosalie, Jasper, Esme and Emmett while we're gone okay."
"Okay Mom."
The two of us went to pack and when we were done we said our goodbyes and boarded the plane.
-Ali-
Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Alice, Renesmee, Jackson and I all joined the daemon siblings and made our way to Volterra.
Dad he looked up at me
I'm scared Aro can read thoughts, so he'll know about the children, he'll know that they were born but he'll also know they have gifts, what if he tries to take them. He took my hand and squeezed it
-------
We arrived in Volterra and we were taken to the castle. I held onto Jack's hand tightly as we were guided through the halls. It was both our first time here but what was not the first for me were the three cold faces of the ruthless self proclaimed leaders of our kind. We stopped in front of the three. I recognised Felix and Demetri who were joined by Jane and Alec.
"Oh well done you two, for a moment there I thought you wouldn't come."
"Aro it is good to see you again." Grandpa stepped forward. Aro, who was looking at me and Jackson turned his gaze to Grandpa.
"The feeling is mutual Carlisle. I see that the children we saw so long ago have grown into beautiful women. Come dearest Renesmee and Allison." I gave a look to Jack and the two of us stepped forward.
"My how the two of you have grown. Come, Come." He held out his hand. Reneesme looked at it then me I nodded to her and she put her hand on his cheek projecting her thoughts like she had once done when she was a child. Aro's eyes flicked and I took my chance to look at the other two, they were just as I remembered Marcus looked like he was in constant pain like he was in his own little world. Caius was looking at me with a cold and calculating look and a small smirk.
I looked back to my sister who removed her hand from Aro. His eyes unnecessarily fluttered and came back into the room.
"Magnifico. Your powers are quite something, what about you Allison." He held out his hand and I gave it to I could feel the connection of him flicking through the pages of my life like a book, from the last time we met, to my mistreatment over the years, meeting Jackson and our growing relationship, me telling him about me and my kind, leaving Summerland and continuing relationship, to integrating into human life and him proposing, the lowest and happiest moments including my pregnancies and births raising them and watching them grow, teaching them control and etiquette of both worlds. He watched me use my gift in various situations over the time till it was like the book closed at the end of the current chapter.
"My, My Allison, you have led the exciting life. Though I thought you were spiritually linked to the wolf that protected you."
"I still am. But as you saw I didn't work out."
"So you married and mated with this former newborn and birthed his children."
"Brother, do you mean to say there are more of their kind." Caius glared at me
"Yes, but surly you see their no threat like myself. I've taught them the laws of both worlds and how to integrate in both. They were conceived and carried like any human baby would but grew and progressed like any vampire." I concurred.
"Let us take the story from a another point of view what is your new beloved's name?"
"Jackson." I looked back at him and he came forward. Jack didn't need telling twice and held his hand for it be taken. Aro read him and giggled slightly.
"The new children are no threat...for now. Allllison. I saw that you have a great gift and that you used it on Alec here." I stiffened
"Show me." I looked at my family who were weary I looked at Jane who had been giving me the evil eye since I came through the door back home. I then looked at Alec and He moved back round of his sister and grabbed her in a chokehold Jane struggled but I manipulated Felix and Demetri to hold her still. I watched as they nearly took her head off and released my manipulation. Aro clapped impressed.
"Impressive."
"Can we go now."
"After your performance how can we be assured they you would not use this to destroy us?" Caius stood
"Because if that was my intention I would have done it a long time ago or as I entered the room. You are very powerful and you either have to be very dumb or even more strength to go up against you. Neither of which I have. You called us here to look through our lives and gifts which you have, you saw firsthand our lives and no that your thrones is not what we seek only to live peacefully." Aro looked like he had a million thoughts before he decided
"I look forward to seeing you again and maybe I could meet your precious, children." I mentally breathed a sigh of relief as we left.
