thekillingfield—all but me。 I'd be the only one who could fight。 〃Yes; you're surely immune to his power; 
but you are still a newborn; Bella。 I can't make you that strong a fighter in a few weeks。 I'm sure he's had 
training。〃 

〃Maybe; maybe not。 It's the one thing I can do that no one else can。 Even if I can just distract him for a 
while—〃 Could I last long enough to give the others a chance? 

〃Please; Bella;〃 Edward said through his teeth。 〃Let's not talk about this。〃 

〃Be reasonable。〃 

〃I will try to teach you what I can; but please don't make me think about you sacrificing yourself as a 
diversion—〃 He choked; and didn't finish。 

I nodded。 I would keep my plans to myself; then。 First Alec and then; if I was miraculously lucky enough 
to win; Jane。 If I could only even things out—remove the Volturi's overwhelming offensive advantage。 
Maybe then there was a chance。。。。 My mind raced ahead。 What if I was able to distract or even take 
them out? Honestly; why would either 

Jane or Alec ever have needed to learn battle skills? I couldn't imagine petulant little Jane surrendering 
her advantage; even to learn。 

If I was able to kill them; what a difference that would make。 

〃I have to learn everything。 As much as you can possibly cram into my head in the next month;〃 I 
murmured。 

He acted as if I hadn't spoken。 

Who next; then? I might as well have my plans in order so that; if I did live past attacking Alec; there 
would be no hesitation in my strike。 I tried to think of another situation where my thick skull would give 
me an advantage。 I didn't know enough about what the others did。 Obviously; fighters like the huge Felix 
were beyond me。 I could only try to give Emmett his fair fight there。 I didn't know much about the rest of 
the Volturi guard; besides Demetri___ 

My face was perfectly smooth as I considered Demetri。 Without a doubt; he would be a fighter。 There 
was no other way he could have survived so long; always at the spear point of any attack。 And he must 
always lead; because he was their tracker—the best tracker in the world; no doubt。 If there had been 
one better; the Volturi would have traded up。 Aro didn't surround himself with second best。 

If Demetri didn't exist; then we could run。 Whoever was left of us; in any case。 My daughter; warm in 
my arms。。。 Someone could run with her。 Jacob or Rosalie; whoever was left。 

And。。。 if Demetri didn't exist; then Alice and Jasper could be safe forever。 Is that what Alice had seen? 
That part of our family could continue? The two of them; at the very least。 

Could I begrudge her that? 

〃Demetri。。。;〃 I said。 

〃Demetri is mine;〃 Edward said in a hard; tight voice。 I looked at him quickly and saw that his expression

had turned violent。 

〃Why?〃 I whispered。 

He didn't answer at first。 We were to the river when he finally murmured; 〃For Alice。 It's the only thanks 
I can give her now for the last fifty years。〃 

So his thoughts were in line with mine。 

I heard Jacob's heavy paws thudding against the frozen ground。 In seconds; he was pacing beside me; 
his dark eyes focused on Renesmee。 

I nodded to him once; then returned to my questions。 There was so little time。 

〃Edward; why do you think Alice told us to ask Eleazar about the Volturi? Has he been in Italy recently 
or something? What could he know?〃 

〃Eleazar knows everything when it es to the Volturi。 I forgot you didn't know。 He used to be one of 
them。〃 

I hissed involuntarily。 Jacob growled beside me。 

〃What?〃 I demanded; in my head picturing the beautiful darkhaired man at our wedding wrapped in a 
long; ashy cloak。 

Edward's face was softer now—he smiled a little。 〃Eleazar is a very gentle person。 He wasn't entirely 
happy with 

the Volturi; but he respected the law and its need to be upheld。 He felt he was working toward the 
greater good。 He doesn't regret his time with them。 But when he found Carmen; he found his place in this 
world。 They are very similar people; both very passionate for vampires。〃 He smiled again。 〃They met 
Tanya and her sisters; and they never looked back。 They are well suited to this lifestyle。 If they'd never 
found Tanya; I imagine they would have eventually discovered a way to live without human blood on their 
own。〃 

The pictures in my head were jarring。 I couldn't make them match up。 A passionate Volturi soldier? 

Edward glanced at Jacob and answered a silent question。 〃No; he wasn't one of their warriors; so to 
speak。 He had a gift they found convenient。〃 

Jacob must have asked the obvious followup question。 

〃He has an instinctive feel for the gifts of others—the extra abilities that some vampires have;〃 Edward 
told him。 〃He could give Aro a general idea of what any given vampire was capable of just by being in 
proximity with him or her。 This was helpful when the Volturi went into battle。 He could warn them if 
someone in the opposing coven had a skill that might give them some trouble。 That was rare; it takes 
quite a skill to even inconvenience the Volturi for a moment。 More often; the warning would give Aro the 
chance to save someone who might be useful to him。 Eleazar's gift works even with humans; to an extent。 
He has to really concentrate with humans; though; because the latent ability is so nebulous。 Aro would 
have him test the people who wanted to join; to see if they had any potential。 Aro was sorry to see him 
go。〃

〃They let him go?〃 I asked。 〃Just like that?〃 

His smile was darker now; a little twisted。 'The Volturi aren't supposed to be the villains; the way they 
seem to you。 They are the foundation of our peace and civilization。 Each member of the guard chooses to 
serve them。 It's quite prestigious; they all are proud to be there; not forced to be there。〃 

I scowled at the ground。 

〃They're only alleged to be heinous and evil by the criminals; Bella。〃 

〃We're not criminals。〃 

Jacob huffed in agreement。 

〃They don't know that。〃 

〃Do you really think we can make them stop and listen?〃 

Edward hesitated just the tiniest moment and then shrugged。 〃If we find enough friends to stand beside 
us。 Maybe。〃 

If。 I suddenly felt the urgency of what we had before us today。 Edward and I both started to move 
faster; breaking into a run。 Jacob caught up quickly。 

〃Tanya shouldn't be too much longer;〃 Edward said。 〃We need to be ready。〃 

How to be ready; though? We arranged and rearranged; thought and rethought。 Renesmee in full view? 
Or hidden at first? Jacob in the room? Or outside? He'd told his pack to stay close but invisible。 Should 
he do the same? 

In the end; Renesmee; Jacob—in his human form again—and I waited around the corner from the front 
door in the dining room; sitting at the big polished table。 Jacob let me hold Renesmee; he wanted space in 
case he had to phase quickly。 

Though I was glad to have her in my arms; it made me feel useless。 It reminded me that in a fight with 
mature vampires; I was no more than an easy target; I didn't need my hands free。 

I tried to remember Tanya; Kate; Carmen; and Eleazar from the wedding。 Their faces were murky in my 
illlit memories。 I only knew they were beautiful; two blondes and two brutes。 I couldn't remember if 
there was any kindness in their eyes。 

Edward leaned motionlessly against the back window wall; staring toward the front door。 It didn't look 
like he was seeing the room in front of him。 

We listened to the cars zooming past out on the freeway; none of them slowing。 

Renesmee nestled into my neck; her hand against my cheek but no images in my head。 She didn't have 
pictures for her feelings now。 

〃What if they don't like me?〃 she whispered; and all our eyes flashed to her face。

〃Of course they'll—;〃 Jacob started to say; but I silenced him with a look。 

'They don't understand you; Renesmee; because they've never
