SORRY FOR THE WAIT!

RECAP

"So," Jasper started. "If you all are... immune to my gift then how do you all get defeated?"

Mandy chuckled. "Mav, should we trust your little... friends?" She asked with a sly grin.

I smiled and rolled my eyes, "I trust them with my life, Mandy."

Mandy studied me for a second then nodded. "To kill an Angel is quite hard, but to make them vulnerable is easy..."

Mandy studied me for a second then nodded. "To kill an Angel is quite hard, but to make them vulnerable is easy," she started. "When you want to attack an angel, go head on with no thought, don't leave a second to think about it. Angel's have a... sense, we can easily track your next attack. Think of it like a snap decision.

"Like Alice, if we cannot detect an attack, we do not think about it, we don't believe it will happen unless we are on guard, or we deeply think about it."

Mandy took a deep breath and released her huge white wings, creating a gust that whipped through the room. "When we have our wings out we're less vulnerable. Many who have attacked us go head on for the wings, making us paralyzed in a way. Without our wings we cannot aerial attack which is a major step back for us.

"So to answer your question, Mr. Whitlock, to defeat an Angel you mustn't think, go for the wings, stun them, then slit their throats." Mandy finished with a prompt nod.

Carlisle shook his head. "So violent..." He murmured.

"Yes, extremely. The race of Angels has decreased since the Fire Crusades where many of us were slaughtered or kept prisoners to those who opposed us." Lexy, the mega history geek, said. Lexy has always been a fanatic of our history, explaining to us how it's critical for us to know about our past, even though we lived through it all.

"What if the entire race of Angels was wiped out?" Carlisle asked.

"There's no possible way. Angels live all over the world, some hiding and living amongst the humans, and there are others who use magic to hide themselves while in plain sight, like us." Vanarath said.

"Hey," Emmett started. "I got a question!" He said loudly.

"Yes, Emmett?" I asked with a slight smile.

"Well, what are you going to do about world hunger?" He asked. Everyone busted out into fits of laughs, including the natural vampire enemies who guffawed loudly. "What? It's a serious matter!" Emmett defended, with all seriousness.

"Emmett, Emmett, Emmett, what are we going to do with you?" Rosalie said laughing.

Mystery POV

"Aro, we mustn't waste anymore time, we must strike at once!" Cauis yelled, pounding his stone fist into his throne.

Aro chuckled. "Why the hurry? We have tons of forces with us, the Alliance stand with no chance."

"Aro, Cauis is right, we must advance towards their land. A few of our scouts have sighted a few Angels in a camp near Greece, we can easily slaughter them without them noticing." Marcus suggested, his dead voice feathery as he spoke.

Aro glared into the distance, his eyes seemingly far off. He was thinking, considering Marcus's idea.

"I suppose you're right," Aro said after moments of silence. "How many?"

"20 men, 30 women." I spoke up as I swept through the room. Each of the rulers directed their attention towards me, Cauis silently admiring me with his ruby colored gemlike eyes.

"And you would know how?" Aro inquired with suspicious eyes.

I chuckled. "I'm not here for long, just here to deliver some information."

"An Angel betraying her own kin, definitely intriguing." Marcus studied. I rolled my eyes and placed my arms on my hips.

"I guess, but I'm in a hurry, none of my kind can see me." I spoke quickly, time was slipping.

"Who sent you?" Cauis barked, his eyes still appraising me.

I glared. "That is not needed. I am here to leave some information, sent from a close contact of mine. So far, Mavralesae has no initial plan, she's completely winging this whole war. There are many campsites ling the coast of South Africa, dwelling in shacks that are high in the mountain tops, invisible to the human eye," I paused, hesitating. "Others are in Asia that I'm sure my so-called queen will call into war. Half of the Alliance are no where on Kamadoria."

I'm not comepletely sure if I should even do this, I'm not smart, but I'm not dumb either. Betraying my family and my loved ones is hard but its what I can do to survive the war. I was promised by my messenger that my children and my love will be completely safe from this mess.

"How do we know this isn't a decoy? What if they are attacking our allies now?" Cauis hissed, his eyes glowed with anger and suspicion. I gulped, intimidated by the vicious power that all three rulers had.

Aro didn't look at anything but me, his eyes reading my expression and my body language. "Let me see your hand." He murmured. I was aware that Aro would ask such a question, I was informed that he would by my messenger. I took a few steps towards Aro with my hand out, shaking. Aro took only one step and gently grabbed my hand, quietly caressing it with closed eyes. My breathing hitched a bit by the sudden coldness of Aro's hand.

Moments seemed like hours to me as Cauis, Marcus, and I awaited Aro's mental return.

"She's telling the truth, we can trust in her," Aro finally spoke, he opened eyes and stared strait at me. "I was aware of the clan of Angel traitors that were close to royalty, it's shocking and pleasantly exciting." He said with a giddy tone.

"So, you won't off me, like my uncle?" I asked.

Aro smiled slightly. "No, we won't. I understand what you are doing to protect your family, there is no need for violence intended for you."

That made me smile, though I was still nervous. All my life I was told to never trust the Volturi, they are known for backstabbing. I felt like I was sweating bullets, but I knew I wasn't. I was shaking in my boots, I knew that much.

"You may leave, and we appreciate your help. Please, come back to Volterra whenever you have any more information for us." Aro bowed slightly, something I did not expect from a high ruler such as himself. I, growing up learning to respect others, bowed in return.

"Thank you, Lord Aro." I said and walked away. Passing through the corridors quickly, trying to not be noticed, I was met with massive beasts that I haven't encountered since I was a young girl. Thankfully, I wasn't slaughtered where I stood.

As soon as I reached was within the ally ways of the city, I released my wings and gracefully flew into the air, probably looking like some firework to the humans of the night.

I sighed as the sweet feeling of flying hit me. But like a lightning bolt, I was hit with such a realization that I almost fell out of the sky.

I was a traitor.

Hothein POV (Oh yeah, this guy IS BACK! :D)

I awaited for my love to arrive, she told me that she would be off with a few friends of hers to scout out the land. I was worried, she has never been out this long, and with the Horde pressuring our defenses, who knows whats going on.

I walked around the balcony of mine and Rosette's room, awaiting for her beautiful form to be held in my arms. My feelings for her were stronger than any other feeling for any oter woman, not even Mav could win me over. Though an instant pain hit me with the thought of Mav.

Mav and I were loves when we were teenagers, experiencing every teenage experience together. Through the fighting, the loving, and the pure happiness, we knew we wouldn't last long. Mav was so scared to even let go to me, to even kiss me, she didn't want to be hurt. I gave her up too easily, thats what my parents said. We were a fling, nothing more, but the way I ended it was the worst yet arguably the best mistake of my life.

FLASHBACK!

"Rosette," I murmured lovingly, brushing back a strand of her hair. "Rosette, I don't love Mav the way I love you. You changed me, you made me into the man I thought I never would be able to be."

Rosette wiped off the single tear that slid down her lovely blushing cheeks. "The-then why are you still with her?" She asked, her voice cracking.

I sighed. "Rosette, my parents want only me to be with her, they told me that they'd disown me if I let her go. But I don't care anymore, Rosey, I don't care about my parents, all I care about is you! You are the love of my life!" These words I spoke were some of the same words I said to Mav, but to Mav it was all a game devised by my stubborn minded parents. These words were true, and I mean every bit of it.

"I love you so much, Hothein." Rosette murmured, this time her voice didn't cry, she said it with strength.

"And as I love you, my Rose." She blushed at my reply and shly looked away. We sat together on the stone bench in one of the secluded gardens in the castle, I held her on my lap, my arms latched comfortably around her.

"Hothien, I need to tell you something..." Rosette said after 4 minutes of loving silence. Her voice was faint, almost a whisper, she was nervous.

"What is it, love? Is there something the matter?" I asked softly. Rosette looked like she was about to break down into a nervous wreck as she stared into my eyes.

"I-I... I don't know how to say it," she mumbled, the crack returning to her voice.

"Start from the beginning." I suggested gently.

Rosette inhaled deeply. "Remember last month, when we made love?"

I smiled ever so slightly. How can I forget that glorious night where we slept in each others arms?

"Of course I remember."

Rosette inhaled again, this time her breath shook. "Hothein, I'm pregnant."

My eyes grew, I knew it, and I stopped breathing. "Y-you're p-p-pr-pregant?" I stuttered out.

Rosette took it the wrong way. "I knew I should have kept my mouth shut!" She scolded herself. I wasn't mad or anything near upset, I was truly ecstatic. A child, our child most importantly. Secretly I've always wanted a little Rose running around in the gardens, learning how to read, write, being whatever she wanted to be.

"No, Rosette, no, no, no! I want a child, do you have any idea how excited I am? This is my dream come true!" I exclaimed with all the enthusiasm I had.

Rosette looked up at me, her eyes twinkling with excitement. "You really, truly, mean it?" She asked excitedly.

"Yes! I really mean it!" Rosette suddenly tackled me with a massive bear hug.

My life is almost complete, Rosette and I plus our beautiful child. We were going to live forever together, and I doubt anything supernaturally possible can stop us.

"This is great! Completely amazing! I-"

Suddenly, Rose was cut off by an unnoticed visitor.

Mav stood there, her pearl white gown blew slightly in the breeze. Her eyes and cheeks were red from crying, she must have been here this whole time...

END OF THE FLASHBACK!

I was so into the past, I didn't even notice the approaching figure in the sky.

Rosette.

But as she neared I noticed something was bothering her, something big. Ever since we've been married, I've had a sixth sense and it always involved knowing when something was up. When Rosette finally drifted onto the balcony I saw the many tears streaming down her face.

Rosette was a strong woman, I admired her for that, seeing her cry is extremely rare.

"Rose, honey, what's wrong?" I asked frantically. At the moment she was sobbing and hiccuping. She was shuddering crazily as she collapsed into my awaiting arms.

"I-I-I-I ha-a-ad to! I wa-wa-was looking out for my loves!" Rosette cried.

"Shhh, it's okay, love," I murmured softly into her lushes smelling hair. "What did you do?"

Rosette looked up at me, her eyes glistening. "I-I gave the Volturi information!"

Traitor.
