Chapter 19

Once I was in front of the door, I could notice how Alice shot out the door, followed by the rest of the Cullen family along with Bella, I could notice how Edward immediately fixed his gaze on the girl, and the girl upon seeing the Cullens began to stiffen and cling to me.

"We're not going to take care of her, we have more important things right now."

"Edward?"

I guess he read the girl's mind, even though he could have prevented it, this would save me some trouble.

"I didn't come to ask you or ask for permission. Carlisle, I need someone to look after the child, if not you, tell me who."

"Sure, we never refuse to lend help, but why don't we better talk it over inside, Esme can cook something for the child." I could tell as Rosalie began to look sharply at Carlisle.

As I started walking towards the house, I felt the little girl cling to me even more, I guess she has already realized what they are.

Once in the living room, I set the little girl down on one of the couches, and Alice was starting to play with her.

"well, I need the little girl to stay here for a while, there have been suspicious situations in Seattle and I need to check what's going on."

"hmm, although I don't want to refuse, but we already have a problem on our hands, so... how about you help us now, and then we take care of the girl?"

I don't have time, and I don't see myself in the obligation to help them either, I know they won't leave the child alone, besides, Alice seems to have grown fond of her, although she seems to be afraid of Alice.

Without answering Carlisle, I approach the girl and from one of my pockets I take out a candy, once she takes it, I caress her head a little, when I was about to turn around and leave, I hear Alice's voice.

"the girl... she's going to die, Solis."

A vision... at least they can be changed, but for that I need to know what she saw.

"What did you see Alice?"

...

"Edward, what did Alice see?"

"Help us, and we'll tell you."

...

This was already irritating me, if you won't tell me, then I'll take it out of your mouth.

Taking the girl back in my arms, and taking my cane, I point it at Alice, although he is someone kind, if he won't help me, then I don't need him, besides, if his power get to the Volturi, it will be very dangerous.

Quickly all the Cullens became on guard, especially Jasper.

"S-sir, why don't you trust them?"

I frown at the girl's question, I can answer her because they are vampires, but then why did I come here, yes, because they are different, they don't kill humans to satiate their hunger, and also they have special abilities, that can be of help to me.

"hum, ok, I will help you in whatever you want, but in return you will take care of this girl when the time comes."

As I said that I move my staff away from Alice and everyone relaxes a little visibly. I set the girl down on the floor to familiarize her with the house, as she will be here for a while, after setting her down Alice walks her around the house, while I decide to talk to the others about what is going on, and why they want my help.

"Well, there's been some trouble lately, and it looks like an army of neophytes is coming our way."

"Where are they coming from?"

"Seattle, why do you ask?"

I see, so they want to get rid of the Cullens.

"Who commands them?"

"don't ignore our question, but answering you, as Alice saw, the mate of the Vampire you killed, her name is Victoria, she seems to have turned a child into a vampire and controls him, and they are creating an army of neophytes, apparently they believe we have a connection to you"

Then it's my fault... even if so, I couldn't stop it, the Vampire they call Victoria has an incredible ability to escape.

"I see... so what will they do?"

"Well, from what we've seen, he wants to go after Bella, he seems to know that we will protect her in particular."

"well, then, what's my job in this?"

--a few days later---

"Are you cold?"

Right now we are in a tent in the middle of a freaking snowy mountain, to ensure the safety of the girl and Bella we are also Edward and the wolf cub from the other time. I don't really have time for their love dramas so I focus my attention on the girl, to keep her at a proper temperature I cover her with a blanket imbued with some solar energy, that should be enough.

It looks like tomorrow will be the day of the fight, for that I have everything I need ready.

---The next day---

I am currently waiting next to Edward, the girl is currently standing next to me, one of her hands clinging to me.

"It's already started," Edward said.

I won't question how he knows, I just want to know how much is the damn range of his ability.

I just took the girl's hand and waited patiently, the Cullens seem to have a temporary alliance with the shapeshifters, so they should be fine.As I waited patiently, Edward looked at me, and nodded slowly, I understood the signal, they were getting closer to us, so they must have sensed Bella or Edward's scent.

The wolf that was with us hid in the trees, while the 4 of us waited.

While I was waiting, I started to hear a couple of steps through the snow, in a matter of seconds there was already a vampire in front of the 4 of us, and the vampire that had escaped me for weeks, was on a pile of rocks.

I don't have the slightest intention of dialoguing right now, the faster I finish this, the better it will be, the problem is the vampire named Victoria, the moment I take a step forward she will escape, but for that there is the wolf, I just need to be faster, and I also need a little distraction, besides, I already had a plan.

While they were in front of us, and Edward was talking to them, I took one of the needles in my sleeves, and pricked my finger, the moment the drop of blood came out, the 3 vampires fixed their gaze on me, once they were distracted, I took a couple of needles from my sleeve and shot them against both vampires.

The male vampire didn't have time to dodge, but it seems that Victoria could still react in time, but that didn't matter, I had already let go of the girl and took my staff, I was already inches away from Victoria, when it seemed that she wanted to dodge again, the wolf appeared next to her and bit her shoulder immobilizing her, along with that, in a moment, 2 mounds of ashes appeared.

With one more problem solved, I approached the girl and took her in my arms.

"Now it's time for you to keep your promise, Cullen-"

"Alice needs us."

"What?"

"There's trouble."

"Okay, let's go."

The little girl clung to me even tighter, and I set off in the direction of where the rest of the Cullen family was.

Once there, Alice saw me and the little girl, she looked surprised, along with that, I noticed there was one more person.

"Edward, why did you bring them here?"

"They will be of help to us."

"Edward, you know they can't see them."

"What's going on?" I asked them.

"The Volturi are coming here."

WHAT, this vampire bastard, fuh, I don't have time to argue now, I can't fight the Volturi now, with the girl in my arms she will be in too much danger.

I quickly ran to a stone nearby and hid with the girl, I covered her mouth so she would make as little noise as possible, and hoped nothing happened.

As time went by, I heard footsteps approaching, I can't take the risk of using the radar, if it's Aro, he will feel me immediately, so I can't know the exact number of Volturis, but I can tell from the footsteps that there are about 3 or 4.

--------------------

N.T.: For the current votes, the couple will be Jane. don't complain if I force the romance a little bit, like that cliché of seeing the couple and the world stopping or things like that, because if I don't do it that way, I don't know how I'll make the MC not to kill Jane as soon as he sees her.

and to think that the fic already has more than 15 thousand words, wow.
