Twenty Years Later
In twenty years of searching, I rarely found any trace of them. In the hand full of times I did find at least one of their scents, it was cold, at least one month old, and when I asked the people of these cities or towns the answer was always the same, they had just moved.
Of course, they never really meant to go where they had told the town; it was just their cover. In twenty years, I have searched every continental state along with Alaska; never staying in one place for more than two weeks. Still, I have come up empty.
Carlisle could have taken them to his home country, but that would mean another twenty to thirty years of searching. I didn’t have that long if I wanted to save both my kind and the human race. I had to start gathering my children from my past lives. All five had become vampires. I need their strength if I am to do what needs to be done. With the knowledge I had received from my life as Bella Swan, I knew all but one of my children were alive; all except James.
I knew where I would go next. I would go to my twins; let them see the truth for the first time since Aro had them changed. And I would go in the form they had last seen me; I would go as their mother, Elena Klaus.
The plane ride was horrific. The scents of the humans’ blood all mixed together were almost enough to make me wish I had taken a boat across the Atlantic, almost. The man beside me had horrid breath and he wouldn’t stop talking. I just nodded my head politely, pretending to listen as he rambled on and on about how this was his first time on an airplane and that he was visiting his great aunt who lived in Rome.
My mind was elsewhere. I knew that my twins probably wouldn’t recognize me, even if I entered the chamber exactly as I had when Felix snapped my neck, killing me. It had been two and a half centuries since then and human memories fade over time. Most of the others would know who I am though; especially Aro, Caius, and Marcus.
Some hours later, I arrived in Volterra, Italy. Within seconds I was in the lobby where a young woman greeted me in Italian. I briskly walked past her toward the doors.
“Wait,” she called after me. “You can’t go in there.” I ignored her and walked through the wooden French doors.
The scene before me angered me. Felix and Demetri had hold of a vampire who was struggling to break free to get to an immortal child who was backed into a corner by my twins. The child seemed to be the only one to notice my sudden entrance and rushed toward me, hoping she’d make it to me before they used their powers on her.
I pushed my shield out around her just as my daughter turned and concentrated on the poor child. I felt her power hit my shield. In frustration, she tried again as I lifted the girl into my arms.
That’s when everyone turned to me and Aro took in a sharp, unneeded breath.
“It can’t be,” he whispered. “Elena Klaus?”
“Yes, Aro,” I replied in a strong voice. “That has been one of my names over the centuries; one of my lives. I have come to get my twins out of your clutches. I’ve come to let them remember me. Jane, Alec, in one of my past lives, I was your mother and I’ll be damned before I let you touché one hair on this child’s head in a harmful way.”

The elders stared at me and so did my twins before Alec tried his power on me. I kept my shield around the child as I put her down and stepped out of the protective bubble. I beckoned to Felix and Demetri who instantly took the challenge. I sunk into my hunting crouch and sprung at Demetri knocking him off of his feet. I dropped to my hands and kicked Felix’s feet out from under him throwing him through the wall. Demetri stared at me in horror as Jane took a shot at fighting me and got thrown in the same direction as Felix. Within two minutes I had taken on three Volturi warriors and defeated them. I turned to Alec and beckoned to him.
“Come and try to kill me and see what happens,” I said as he lunged at me. He got within three feet of me and I froze him in place with his power, making him crash to the ground limp. “The only one that isn’t paralyzed is Demetri. Now Aro tell me what your worthless dead creator told you after you were created,” I whispered picking the child back up.
“He told me of a prophecy that involved his creator: the first vampire created by human scientists,” Aro said staring at Alec’s limp form.
“Please Aro enlighten your brothers to the prophecy,” I said smiling at the darling child in my arms.
“The prophecy went like this: There will come one vampire who will be loved by two of her kind. She will be so powerful that none can destroy her. Vampires will fear her; humans will name her their new found savior. All through her human life she will know of the existence of vampires and will never fear them. As a human, her blood's scent will be so enticing that most would crave it. She will be the salvation for both kinds,” Aro said, looking up at me.
I was smiling that evil smile that Jasper loved when I had something evil planned for one of his family members.
“The prophecy involves me,” I said, touching Alec and unfreezing him.
“Mom,” he groaned as if I was waking him up for an early day on the farm.
“He will now remember his entire human life before he was changed,” I said, as Demetri brought Jane into the throne room. He laid her on the floor at my feet and I bent down and touched her forehead gently unfreezing her body.
“Mom,” she moaned the memories slowly coming back to her as her eyes fluttered open.
“You can restore memories and probably have a million more powers that could be used to defeat the Volturi,” Aro said and I nodded.
“What I showed here was me testing my powers to see if they were at their full strength and they are at their full strength,” I said helping Jane and Alec to their feet. They stood on either side of me and looked up at me.
Aro stared at me and said, “What was your last human form this time around?”
“I was a human that the Cullen’s were fascinated by. James tried to kill me and the Cullen’s killed James. He had my venom in his veins and he normally got to me before I had a real life. In five of my lives he failed to get to me and I had children and all of them became vampires. In my first life I had a son who was changed when he was 23. In my second life I had Jane and Alec and they were changed in front of me and Mr. Paralyzed killed me. In my third life I didn’t have any kids and I killed myself. My fourth life gave me another son who died when he was 17 because of an illness and in my fifth life I had one more boy who was mauled by a bear and changed at age 20. I died that same day,” I said looking down at the child who was pulling my hair.
“What’s her name,” I said to the vampire that created her.
“Her name is Jasmine,” he whispered gently brushing a lock of her hair behind her ear.
She smiled up at him and I waved my hand over her body and put her down for the magic to take place. She grew quickly, a beautiful white dress taking place of her baby clothes as she grew into a beautiful young woman and the change stopped.
“Now is there a reason for them to be destroyed, Aro,” I asked looking up at him.
“No they can go because of the amazing change you did on the child,” Aro said staring at the girl in amazement.
“Thank you,” she whispered to me.
I pulled her into a hug and said, “That dress looks lovely with your skin tone.” She smiled as she pulled away and she left with her creator.
“Is black the only color in the dress code,” I asked looking over Jane and Alec’s clothes.
“Black or gray,” Aro said and I shook my head. I took a lock of Jane’s hair and turned
