Edward grunted as he kneeled on the ground in pain. None of us could do anything but watch. Until Bella used her gift. I couldn't see it but I watched Edward stand up and walk to my sister's side. I looked towards the Volturi and I could see them become uneasy. Jane must've been trying to use her powers on all of us and failed.

"It's working," Edward commented. The wolves began to growl as the black fog crept towards us. I could only hope that Bella's shield protected us against that too. It stopped before it could reach us and I sighed in relief at not having to witness that in person.

"Aro you see there's no law broken here," Carlisle spoke defiantly.

"He's claiming they're still dangerous." Caleb translated for me this time. He and Gianna stood directly behind me now and I was grateful for the familiarity. "He's calling them weapons. Saying that they pose a threat to their existence."

"He's not giving in." Gianna's soft voice echoed around me in a sad tone and I knew we were closer to losing our fight than we were to win it.

"We've done all we can do," I mumbled.

"Not everything," Edward commented as he turned around. He gestured behind us and we all turned to see two people we thought we'd never see again.

Alice and Jasper walked past us but didn't meet our stares. Aro seemed pleased to see them and I could only hope Alice had some trick up her sleeve to help us. The guard stopped them before they could reach Aro and they seemed to be conversing.

"She found evidence for us." Caleb was playing narrator and I had to make a mental note to find some way to repay him for it later. "She's showing him."

"Well, she's been showing him for a few minutes now, how long is that vision of hers?" Nobody answered me and we all stood in silence as we awaited their outcome. Edward was tilting his head as he listened closely and I desperately wished I could read minds lien he could.

The wolves moved closer to us as they anxiously waited. Sam's wolf form stood protectively in front of me and he glanced back at me. I extended my hand out and he rub his nose against it before standing tall and facing the Volturi. I could see them growing as restless as we were, nobody but Edward knew what Alice was showing Aro.

"She stopped," Caleb muttered.

"I still don't know what that means." I bit my lip anxiously and felt Emmett slide his hand into mine.

"What if you could be sure she would remain concealed from the human world?" Edward shouted. "Could we leave in peace?"

"Of course but that cannot be known," Caius shouted back.

"It can," Edward smirked. Alice turned around to look at us and her smirk mirrored Edward's.

"Is anyone else majorly confused or is it just me?" I asked quietly. I heard Jared let out a wolfy snort and I patted his fur appreciatively, happy my joke didn't go unnoticed.

"Look." Emmett gestured for me to look behind him as I followed his gaze I noticed two people emerge from the trees. Their faces weren't familiar to me and judging by the confused glances around us, no one else knew who they were either.

"She found another witness. In the Ticuna tribe." My head snapped to look at Bella and we shared a knowing glance. "He's half and half."

"You make it sound like he's an Arnold Palmer." I rolled my eyes. Emmett squeezed my hand and I took that as my sign to shut up.

"His dad killed his mom and his aunt is raising him." I could tell Caleb was giving me the cliff's notes version but I wasn't against it. "He turned his aunt."
