After the drinks were consumed, Churnkins said, "How's about we go teaching those jerks a lesson?" Everyone agreed and Namard said, "Those fools have no rights to be messin' with us!"
Jacquelyn said to them, "Remember the last time we confronted the Volturi? I had to hand myself over to them just so you could all go free."
"Yeah," said Viko. "Those assholes even threatened to eat us and make her watch. I say we kill them all!"
Fesdoff said, "So what are we waiting for? Let's go deal with them now while we are still many."
Harry Clearwater watched as Jacquel and the pirates made plans on how to confront the Volturi. He was very upset at the mention of any conflict, but these were
vampires that they were dealing with. Vampires were dangerous and their poison was lethal to the
Quileutes. He frowned, hoping that none of them would rush into danger before they were ready to.
VOLTERRA
Aro, Caius, and Marcus saw
Sulpicia, Athenodora, and the four little vampires staring at them.
They were just discussing the Romanian coven and their plans to take back their empire by force. Which also meant that four tiny children named Jamey Walsh, Poppy & Pansy Brunswick, and Peony Hildebrandt. had been attacked and turned. They were currently living with the wives because the Volturi weren't allowed to see them.
"And why are you all here?" Caius asked.
"We'd like to know what is going on here," said Athenodora.
"Especially since we heard that the
Romanians were using those poor little babies to attack us," said Sulpicia. She glared at Marcus and said, "You should have killed them when you had the chance."
Marcus said, "They outnumbered my group; we would have all been killed had we fought."
"Indeed," said Athenodora. "I say we go deal with the Romanians right now. We'll march to their castle and..."
"They're not expecting a home invasion," said Marcus. "They are coming here." The others stared at him with fear. "We have less than several weeks to prepare for what could be a huge bloodbath. Call all our friends and allies. And for once, we shall order Carlisle Cullen to get over his hatred of you and come here. Maybe a battle will end this feud."
"I doubt if he would be willing to come," said Corin as she walked into the room. She said, "I think he already has problems of his own."
Aro stared at her and frowned. He had not heard from Alec, Jane, Demetri, and Felix for a while. And if that were true, then trouble was certainly brewing for the Cullen Clan.
He then said, "New plan: we lure the Romanians to Carlisle's place and then place all blame of Jacquelyn's pain on them. Carlisle is just itching to tear someone apart and with Vlad and Stefan falling into that trap, then we'd taken care of the problem."
"Very good," said Corin, "but before you do that, you have an old score to settle."
"The pirates," said Caius nervously. "They probably haven't forgiven us for threatening them four years ago. If Jacquelyn were to find them, then they would set off to take us down, saving the Romanians the trouble of doing it themselves."
"We should go meet with them," said Aro. "We could gain some allies, if it's not too much trouble." But he knew that the pirates would not be happy until he was destroyed...
IN THE WOODS
The large search party consisting of Cullens and Volturi guards combed through the woods, hoping to find Jacquelyn. But there was no such luck as Bruce and Wayne claimed that she had covered her tracks.
Jane and Rosalie had gotten into a fight regardin Jacquelyn's babies and since then, Jane was not happy. She had exposed a harsh truth about Rosalie and Emmett had overheard that truth. He ran off in anger.
Alec said to Rosalie, "I don't know what part that you might have played in this mischief, but you had better be careful unless you want to be torn to pieces."
"Maybe we should tear her into pieces now and beg Carlisle's forgiveness later?" said Felix.
"Bad idea," said Demetri. "We must ask Aro about his opinion when he next calls. He mus know about this right away."
Meanwhile, Carlisle was muttering to himself "I can't imagine this. Where is that girl? Does she know anyone around here?"
Esme said to him, "Well, she does come from the Quileute tribe, since they're part of her grandmother's family, so she must have ran off to meet them."
Alice gasped and said, "I just saw Tanya heading to the harbor in
Port Angeles. She knows about Jacquelyn. We have to beat her there!"
Carlisle snarled at her. "What the hell is she doing in Port Angeles to begin with?"
THE HARBOR-PORT ANGELES
Churnkins said, "Well, we've just about a few hours before we leave, so if there's any last minute trading that we have to do, do it now and get it over with."
Jacquelyn said, "Well, I'm not sure if I can make the voyage. I mean I can, but with my condition..."
"Bad idea for a woman to be traveling with her stomach the size of a watermelon," said Namard. "She be needin' rest, not stress."
"But if I don't get out of here now, then someone could come and take my babies," Jacquelyn cried out.
"We best better make sure that that doesn't happen," said Ragnold. "I fear that there is a sea witch that preys upon young children lurking around here. We must be cautious."
"Or it's Tanya," Jacquelyn snapped as she faced the older vampire.
Emmett took one good look at Tanya; they had not seen each other since that incident 25 years earlier, where Tanya had lied about Jacquelyn being an immortal child and the Volturi had to destroy her for her betrayal. Tanya had also kidnapped
Edward during that incident.
He launched himself at Tanya, which sent the two vampires flying over several stall and into a parked car. "How dare you come back here after you betrayed us!" He yelled. "Why are you here? So you can flaunt about how happy you and Edward are?"
"Well," said Tanya, "Edward has left me. He left me, called me a liar, and blamed me for what happened to Jacquelyn. I didn't mean for her to end up hurt."
"BITCH!" Jacquelyn screamed as she pounced on Tanya and slapped her hard across her face. A huge crack appeared on her cheek. "You ruined my life! I had hopes and dreams, I was looking forward to growing up, I wanted to live a decent life! But now I can't, no thanks to you! You're the reason why I'm a vampire!"
"Jacquelyn, listen to me," Tanya said. "Not one day goes by when I haven't thought about you and the other Cullens..."
"SHUT UP!" Jacquelyn screamed in anger as she grabbed Tanya and sent her flying into a food stall. "You not only ruined my life, but you also destroyed the Cullen family! When Carlisle finds out, I hope he tears you into pieces!"
THE HARBOR-PORT ANGELES (Carlisle's POV)
Carlisle gasped as he walked down the pier. Several booths had been destroyed, as were several cars and a window to a restaurant. But that was not the worst of it.
He saw Jacquelyn screaming as she was beating up Tanya Denali.
As quick as a flash,
Jasper raced up to her and pulled the pregnant girl away from Tanya. Alice and Esme reached out and held Tanya back before Jacquelyn could get another hit in. Which was a huge mistake because no one anticipated Emmett punching her even harder than Jacquelyn did and the crack on Tanya's cheek grew to cover half her face.
"Calm down, Jacquelyn," Carlisle tried to reason with her. "You must not be so stressed right now."
"She's here," Jacquelyn snapped. "Let me go, Jasper! I'm going to tear her into pieces!"
"Jacquelyn, please don't," Rosalie began, but Jacquelyn turned on her and said, "Shut up, bitch-for-brains! After I get through with Tanya, you're next! I can't believe what you did to Emmett! He was just a happy guy and then you came along and ruined his life!"
Rosalie tried to protest, but the angry looks the pirates gave her shut her up. Just then, Sam, Paul, and Jared showed up. They had been alerted by Harry Clearwater.
Sam looked at Tanya and said, "So this is the straw that broke the camel's back?"
"She tried to kill us all so that she could have Edward for herself," Jacquelyn snapped in anger.
"I see," said Sam. "Paul, Jared, let's tear her into pieces."
"Not until the Volturi get here," said Alec. "I think they should question her themselves."
"Indeed they shall," said Sam, "and they must answer for their crimes against her."
Jacquelyn was not happy; she wanted Tanya and Rosalie gone. But then she slipped from Jasper's grasp and fell to her knees...
