Summary;

"What do you see when you're in the dark, and the demons come?"
When Chelsea's hold on Demetri snaps, he must choose where his loyalties lie. Secrets are exposed. Friendships are destroyed. Blood is split. But in the dark, there is a light.

Demetri/oc and Cannon pairings.


"The Volturi aren't supposed to be the villains, the way they seem to you.
They are the foundation of our peace and civilization." - Edward.


Three figures stood in a clearing, staring at my direction. Looking around I saw dark clouds above the clearing and buckets of rain pouring down. This was a clearing I knew and I recognized the three figures instantly. Jane, Alec and Demeti. They stood in a triangle with Demetri at the front, Jane to his left and Alec to his right, about 20 meters ahead of me. I looked to my right and saw Jasper slightly in front of me, Esme a bit behind his right side and Carlisle in front of her. I turned my head slightly to the left and caught site of Edward, Bella, Emmett and Rosalie. We were in a half circle, I noticed. I turned my head behind and saw a wolf, Jacob, growling and behind him I saw Nessie. They were shielding the white wolf that was their 16 year old daughter. I looked in front of me again to find Edward had moved in front of us all and began to speak.

The vision disappeared as quickly as it came. I stared at Alice as she came to. When she did I quickly explained everything we saw to the rest of the family, as they had been around us when they saw Alice was having a vision. When we were done, we all turned to Carlisle. I listen to his thoughts as well as his spoken response.

"It's obvious the Volturi have sent Jane, Alec and Demetri to check up on Nessie and Lilly. They feel threatened about our expansion. What we don't know is if they are looking for a fight." He said looking at each and every one of us, excluding Jacob and Nessie who were listening quietly on the couch, and Lilly who was in her room excluded from te current meeting. "But they wouldn't start a fight without backup." He replied to his own comment.

"The Volturi have made a huge mistake." Jasper said cutting in. "They've sent their biggest defence to a place there not familiar with. Even with Demetri, they have no way of knowing whether or not we are still here, with Bella shielding us. They've left Italy unprotected, so if there was a battle, Aro wouldn't stand a chance and we have more numbers anyway. Something doesn't give. Why would Aro send his biggest threats on a useless mission, when he knows the outcome if something goes wrong?"

"How do we know if Demetri can't track us? We don't know if Bella's shield works against trackers." Emmett questioned. "I say we use our big numbers as an advantage. Bring everyone in case they try something tricky."

"I've seen into Demetri's mind." I said to Carlisle. "But I haven't seen it when he tracks. We have no idea if he can see us or not, nor do we know what they want, and if they are here to start something. The alternative sounds plausible. What other reason is there for Aro to send his fighters, other than to fight?"

"We should play it by ear. Do what Emmett said and use our big numbers to an advantage." Carlisle announced to everyone.

"What?!" Jacob said standing, glaring at Carlisle. "You're putting Nessie and Lilly in danger!" He started to shake until Nessie placed her hand on his massive arm.

"If they have tricks up there sleeve then we'll just get you to run Lilly to your pack. If something goes wrong, she's safe. Renesmee can fight, she takes after her father." Came Bella's voice from my left. I smiled.

"How long do you think?" Jasper asked Alice and me.

"Judging by the cloud cover and thunder in the background, I'd say next week, Tuesday sometime. The storm that's heading our way will reach Forks around then." Alice replied thoughtfully.

We all agreed on meeting the Volturi Trio at the field on Tuesday, exactly a week from now.


"Aro's lost it." I said mono-toned. I suddenly felt a sharp pain on the back of my head. Jane had slapped me.

So annoying.

"Don't." She said sternly. "Aro is now going to get me to punish you when we get back, dumbass."

"Don't." I said mockingly in a high pitched voice. She growled at me, fangs and all.

"You're such a kid. Grow up, Demetri." Alec said in an annoyed tone while trying to hide his smile. Jane saw it clearly.

"Act your age!" She angrily shouted at her bothers face. We continued our slow running pace. We were currently half way from Italy ...or half way to Forks. Whatever floats your boat.

When Aro announced we would be going to check up on the ever growing Cullens family, we all kind of just stood there. Wide eyed. Mouth agape. The whole chalatte. Well, except for Jane.
Aro explained that we should trust his judgement and make it a quick trip. There and back, just a check up and no violence. After all, Aro wouldn't have 'his property' damaged. I let out a cold chuckle after that thought. Me? Aro's property? I felt sick.

"You okay?" Jane said emotionless. But I can read her, and she was curious. She's a good actress. Could lie to the Pope and not feel guilty or bat an eyelash. Years of practice I guess.

Oh well, I'm older.

"This mission is lame." I mumbled.

"Demetri." She said in her all-knowing voice.

"Bite me." I replied coldly.

Bite Me was our code word for If-I-Tell-You-Aro-Will-Find-Out-So-Drop-It. I hide it in the deepest part of my mind, where Aro will never find it. Where I also hide some of my more personal thoughts.
Over time, I've learnt the secrets of Aro's mind limit. Now I can hide information in my head without him finding out, as can Jane, Alec and Felix. It's simple once you practise.

"Whatever." She said dropping the matter.

If you were wondering, or not (I'm still going to tell you anyway), me and Jane are somewhat close. After all the years we've spend together, we became friends that really understood each other. As well as Alec. He's pretty cool too. We know when one is lying, or upset, or thinking too much. It helps having someone to 'talk' too. All Aro does is get inside your head without permission and start poking at personal thoughts and memories. Quite rude if you ask me.

"We're almost there. Another 2 days or so." Alec voiced too me and Jane. Jane nodded her head slightly and picked up her running pace. Alec and I stayed the same speed but ran so we were side by side instead of Jane between us.

"You know something is up." I exclaimed quietly to Alec. "Aro's using us again but this time he hasn't thought it through. He's going to get us killed. You know what the Cullens are like. If there is a threat to their hybrid, they'll take action no matter the cost."

Alec spared me a glance then faced foreword again. "Yes, but we are no threat. It's just routine."

"I still think it would have been more polite to have sent a letter." I said, dignified.

"Oh please. Polite? You flirt with anything that walks." Alec said, finishing his statement with a confident smirk. My dignified look dropped.

"I'm a victim here!"

'So you just happen to be a victim every night? Coincidence? I think not." He said plainly.

"See?! This is why I have self esteem issues!"

Alec just laughed.

"Shut up both of you!" Shout Jane angrily from in front of us. "You're both so stupid!"

My mouth and eyes widened in mock offence. "Stupid is a mean word!"

Jane growled and quickened her pace again. Haha, I was getting to her. I saw Alec roll his eyes out of the corner of my eye and quicken his pace as well, so he was beside his sister. 'Kids these days' I thought as I too quickened my speed to run alongside Jane.

Thunder rawred from the heavens as we advanced towards the Cullen coven. The was definately a storm on our heels.


Constructive critisism welcome.
I love hearing how to improve! If you have any ideas feel free to pitch them.

Next chapter will discuse Lilly; Jacob and Renesmee's daughter.
