The guard was running behind Demetri when they came to a type of warehouse Athena used the gift of her husband to hide them so that the others could not know that they were there the guard heard the poor boy that is being used and they could see Victoria, Athena was excited to torture her for a bit, they listen to their conversation carefully

-The others are getting out of control -Riley said

-Soon is not going to matter when we kill the Cullen clan -Victoria responds

-But it's been weeks and this is supposed to be their territory and they are not even close -he said

-Don't underestimate the clan -she scowls

-And the vampire that you said almost catch you? What are we going to do? -he asks

-I ...- but before she could respond the guard made themselves known, with Athena in the front with bright red eyes

-Yes Victoria what are you going to do? -Athena said mockingly, Riley tried to get close to her but Jane used her gift on him -Now I know that you are very stupid Victoria going against the Volturi

Victoria open her eyes in surprise and fear and that's when she saw the crest on her neck -I deserve my vengeance, that mind reader kill James -she hissed in anger

-Oh I know, but you break the rules and we are the persons that fix that -Athena stated coldly

-You called too much attention to our kind -Alec said this time

-She needs a reminder that the Volturi don't play games -Jane stated

-Felix, Demetri take him -Athena order them, the vampire grabs the vampire so he couldn't escape and Jane stops using her gift

-Pain- Athena smirked hearing her screams of Victoria, she stop using her gift to play with her mind, while they turn to Riley and start asking questions

-How many newborns have you created? -Jane asks, but he stays silent and she starts using her gift again -How many?

-25 or 35 around that, I count them every morning because they killed each other -he answer through his teeth because of the pain

-Who gave you the order to do it? -she asks

-Victoria, but I take all the decisions because of one of the vampires in the clan -he answers not wanting to feel that pain again

-You were the one in Forks and took something from the human house? -Athena asks already knowing the answer but asks in case of a trial

-Yes, we needed something from the human so the newborns could track her -Riley said, Demetri scoffed at that of course there was no one better than him in tracking someone

-Why didn't you attack yet? -Jane ask, but he didn't respond so Thena gave him a shock of electricity

-She doesn't know yet -he responds in pain

-Then let's make it easier for her, but I will give you a tip, she doesn't love you -Thena said bluntly

-That is not true, she loves me -Riley said

-Who are you trying to convince, you or me? -Athena asks with an eyebrow raised -I like you, Riley, so when you found out the truth find me I will help you, you can stay with us if you want or go on your own whatever you choose- she decides to change the topic quickly- another tip just listen on how she expresses of his dead friend James, take him to the shadows -she walks toward Victoria that is in the floor and first turn to hide Demetri, Felix and Riley then put her hands on her head and Victoria gasp for air when she realized that she was no more with James, but she sees Athena with a smirk

-A nice dream? -she asks mockingly- Is hard to face the reality isn't it?

-You take him away from me again -she hissed

-Me? I never take him from you -the blonde responded -It was his fault to go after someone that had a coven in her back

-She is just food -Victoria hissed trying to go for her but couldn't move

-In that, I agree, but you also saw the way that the coven protect her and your gift also told you it was a bad idea and you let him go either way -Athena responds

-He was my everything and they took him from me -she said barely a whisper not noticing that Riley could hear her

-Well I would like to say that I'm sorry but that would be a lie -Athena said -Listen well Victoria, you have five days to do what is the army for, but if in five days you don't act we will kill everyone here

-Where is Riley? -she asks and Riley gains hope to see if she loves him

-Victoria why are you playing with him? -Thena ask but already knew the answer, she only needed that Victoria tells the truth so she can take Riley from her

-He does everything I said without question, I will not love anyone that is not James -she stated and the hopes from Riley went down

Athena hums and turns around to start walking away with Alec and Jane -Tick tock Victoria Tick tock -she said with a smirk the little blonde uncovers the other vampires, Victoria look in panic but Riley decided to play the same game that she did with him, he was going to take the offer of the leader that came before that he doesn't know the name

When they were already on the border of Forks they stop and grab Thena's hand and they were in Volterra in a second they were in the garden of the Castle -Why did you forgive him? -Felix asked

-Loyalty Felix, Riley is loyal and you don't find a lot of people that are loyal to death, and I have a little pity for him -she answers

Jane and Alec had to agree with her on that -Sister gave him the truth and he change his mind seeing that a stranger just show him the truth he is grateful I saw it in his eyes -Alec said

-And not just that, he is very intelligent if I trained him he could be a good leader if he wants to -Thena said this time

-Any gift? -Jane ask with curiosity

-No, he just has self-control just like Carlisle

-Hum, that is why the father stay alive then -Demetri said, and the other nodded their heads, they walk into the library seeing the kings and Stephen reading and doing paperwork, and the kings turn to see the guard and they make a quick bow, Stephen could feel himself breathing better seeing his mate intact

-Ah I see that you came back, how was it? -Aro asked speeding toward the little blonds, Jane was the first one to offer her hand, Aro turn to see Athena in surprise but understood why, he was quick to grab her hand she let him see everything that happen -I see, you did good and that is a good thing you did for him, he is going to be a great asset here

-Do you mind telling us? Remember that some of us don't have gifts of the mind -Caius said in a bored tone, that gained giggles from Thena, she show them in their minds what happen

-You forgave his life? -Caius asked in surprise

-Why would she not forgive him, Caius? -Marcus asked with an eyebrow raised

-Because is not something she would do, at least not that I teach her -Caius responds to him

-She did it because she is taking her role as the next queen of the Volturi -a voice said behind them, they were quick to react and put themselves around the kings and their eyes black in anger, the other could see a woman with blonde hair and blue eyes she was a little taller, Athena put her guard down just a bit

-How in hell are you here? -she asks coldly

-Well you have not called me and I was worried about you -Emma answered

-How are you here? -Athena asks again like talking with a kid

-The ancestors give me a chance to see you, they saw a decision of yours and are worried about you -Emma explains

-I will be fine they will not have a chance -Athena said to her

-You don't know that -Emma argued, the others just stay silent and with a little shock since they don't know that woman there -You just need to ventilate your anger

-And why in hell I can not do that? Because I'm pretty sure I can and my master is going to agree with me

-I'm sorry to interrupt but I would like to know why are you arguing with MY mate? -Stephen asked from his place behind Caius, Emma turn to see the others and smile seeing the protectiveness and possessiveness of the mate of her daughter

-Family, this Emma my birth mother -Athena presents her, the others open their mouths in surprise, Marcus is the first one to go to Athena's side and present himself

-My name is Marcus, thank you for allowing her to live -he said, Emma smiled warmly at him

-Thank you Marcus is a pleasure, Thena told me a lot about you, well about everyone -she said and smiled, everyone there couldn't react and the twins were not happy, after all, they thought that she was the cause that their sister life was hell and seeing that her sister was not very pleased to see her didn't help either, and well Stephen didn't knew what to do or say he was not happy but neither mad, he had different emotions and seeing that his mate was something cold with the women didn't help and that she told her story hours ago didn't help the mood that his wife was, and well Aro and Caius show their uneasiness with the woman just nodding their heads in the knowledge of the woman

-Emma, this is my twin sister and brother Alec and Jane -Thena present, Emma smiled at them but the twins glared at her -Yeah they are not very happy to see you, and me neither -she mumble the last part that of course, but the vampires hear -And this is Stephen my mate and husband -Stephen gave his hand to shake

-Is nice to meet you Ms -Stephen said to her

-Me too, I've seen the way you protect her thank you for that and for loving her -Emma thanked him

-You don't have to I would do anything for her -he said while seeing Athena with love something that she return, but she was still a little out of her because she remember her past, not like the others knew, and seeing Emma was not helping with her mood something that everyone on the room except Emma could see

-Well Emma you see I was fine now you can go -Athena said coldly -I'm going to Seattle to watch the newborns and kill some of them if I can -she stated and leave the room quickly and teleport herself to Seattle leaving a shock Emma standing there, Stephen sight and he ran his hands over his face in frustration and concern his wife was nothing short of committing a massacre if someone didn't come and be there for her at the right time, Emma didn't know what happen but she stays there seeing everyone

-What happened to her? -Jane ask

-The human ask for her story, it made her have flashbacks -the alpha respond making the twins open their eyes in worry it didn't matter how many times they told her that it was not her fault she always blame herself for their deaths, the twins were quick to speed away and search for her in the castle hoping that she was still there, the kings decided to leave and go to the queens and ask for their opinion on what to do, while Stephen stay there with Felix and Demetri with Emma

-Can I know what happen to my daughter?

Stephen scoffed at that- You have a bad timing to appear, Emma, you put her in the worst humor that she had before

-She is going to make a mess -Demetri said in worry for her, it was very rare that she got mad or be in a sad mood but when she was it was better not be other people that were not them and crossed her way

-She is going to make herself kill at some point -Felix also responds in worry -The master will do something?

-The queens are going to make them realize that Thena need us -Demetri said, and the twins enter the room sending glares at the woman and they were not going to be nice

-THIS IS YOUR FAULT!! -Jane scream at her- You and your stupid games don't think she didn't tell us about what happened in her head months ago, you are your ideas to believe you are good for her

-You don't help in any way just make the things worst -Alec hissed

-I would never do anything to hurt her she is my everything -Emma said with a hard glare

-Is your everything? -Jane asks in disbelief

-She is OUR everything, my family,, and that includes emotional pain -Jane hissed at her already charging at the woman but Alec grab her

-You only bring her pain don't you see? -Alec asked her

-Look we appreciate the fact that you bring her to us, but after that, we don't know you and we know what happen when she was unconscious and I didn't like the fact that you bring the person that hurt her more than anyone else, she doesn't consider you her mother, that is Rose -Stephen said toward Emma that was having a hard time listening to them- You said it yourself you were not always there so that means you don't know her, and I would appreciate that you stay away from her -Stephen state while getting up and start calling his wife so she doesn't kill many people

-Stay away from our twin -Jane demand and walks away with Alec, Felix and Demetri stay there with Emma, they were not going to lie they had some pity for the women but they thought the same as the others, Emma was trying her best but they were right she didn't know her at all

-We don't give advice but I think that you should stay away or at least not appear when you want, you give her the choice that she calls you but you are not giving her space -Demetri said to her

Emma was going to talk but Felix win to her -You can not expect that she wants to talk with you when you don't respect even your word, you can not expect her to be all nice when it just been a few months, Athena doesn't deal with the things just that fast no one can, and she just let the time pass because she needs to think rationally and with her head cold not take decisions based on emotions -Felix explain and the two leave the room to find the others, while Emma disappears thinking what they told her about her daughter...

Time before with the queens...

Didyme, Sulpicia, and Athenodora were in the tower with Corin watching them, they were talking about the guard and the problem of Seattle -I think there will be no one more loyal to us than Athena, she never said no to any of us -Sulpicia said to the other two

-Sulpicia is right she is not going to turn her back on us, we are her family and she is ours -Athenodora said with confidence -And she bring Didyme from the death if she didn't love us she wouldn't do what she did

-She is an angel that is for sure, we owe her a lot -Sulpicia said with a smile -she also blame herself for what happened to you Didyme

-Why? She was not close and her duty was with our partners -Didyme said with a frown on her face

-She hear someone talking about how they were going to kill one of us she left the kings to try to save us... she run all the way but when she came it was already late when Marcus came she let him have his moment, after that she put herself on her knees and beg his forgiveness if she could cry she would, the pain that she was feeling for failing to you, to him it was like we could feel it -Athenodora explain to her remembering how broken was the girl it was the first time that everyone in the elite guard and the kings and queens saw her in that state

-After that, -Sulpicia said

-I think I owe her much more than my life, she is an angel -Didyme said with a smile -I'm much more than grateful to her for taking care of him, and to tried to save me

-You had to see her after that, she didn't leave our side for at least a decade or more, Jane and Alec had to come to get her for trials or missions -Sulpicia said with a smile and Athenodora had to agree, they were going to continue when the door was open and the kings enter the place

-Corin can you go to find the elite guard and help them -Marcus said to her

-Of course master, my queens -she make a quick bow and left the tower, the queens were a little confused about what just happened

-What is going on? -Athenodora ask them

-Athena's mother happens -Caius said hissing

-WHAT?!-the queens exclaimed

-Yes she came to give us a visit, looks like is something to do with magic -Marcus explains

-I'm guessing she didn't have the best reaction -Sulpicia said, the other kings gave them a look -she talks to us about her she is not ready to deal with the woman

-Not to say that she hates her -Athenodora explain

-Hate? -Caius asked

-She blame the women for the life that she had and who could blame her for that -she respond

-Aro love what are you thinking? -Sulpicia asked seeing that he was silent

-She left Volterra and went to Seattle to deal with the newborns -he explain quickly

-And the guard is with her right? -Athenodora asks, but seeing that no one answers she asks again -She is not alone in a city full of neophytes, right?

-The guard is here, she left alone, I'm guessing she is going to deal with the Cullen's alone -Aro said to her

-And what are you waiting to send them? -she hissed at Aro surprising Caius and the others, Sulpicia hissed at her in warning but the blonde queen was not having any of it -You need to send them

-Athenodora calm down she is very capable to handle herself -Caius said to her and the blonde queen was not happy with that and start to send things at the wall angry Marcus and Aro put their mates behind them not seeing Athenodora like that never, Caius was trying to calm her down but with no luck

-Athenodora talk to me my queen -Caius said to her and the look of pain that his mate had was something that he didn't see since the death of her sister
