"Impossible" - Caius muttered, making Aro look at himself.

"Do you think they tricked me, Brother?" - Aro pressed the last word, and walked over to Caius. Forcing him to look at himself in confusion.

While Aro waited for the Volturi clan co-leader to answer, Bella and Edward took Renesmee by the arm and led her to the opposite side of the Volturi, where their allies were. Jacob, in his werewolf form, who acted as an escort, wandered along as well, growling something grudgingly at the Volturi.

"I don't know what you're talking about." - Caius half-heartedly exclaimed, bringing his expression back to calm. He rubbed his fingers a couple of times in a "hurry up" gesture.

Instantly the snow crunched under the vampires' feet and movement began, the named snitch being led by the vampire's arm, nudging her several times, in a "hurry up" gesture.

"Is that the child you saw?" - Quickly regaining the coldness in his eyes, he asked Caius, as if he'd been disconnected from the world.

"I'm not sure..." - There was a hint of nervousness in the blond woman's voice.

"Jane." - He turned to the Volturi clan guard and said in an even tone. The girl, who was called Jane, turned her red eyes to the blond woman.

"She's changed...this baby is bigger!" - Glancing nervously in Jane's direction, the blond responded.

"So this is a false accusation...?" - Caius finally heard what he wanted to hear and was free to act.

"It wasn't the Cullens' fault, and I'm willing to take responsibility for my mistake." - The woman was in pain, for she knew what now awaited her. - Forgive me. - She whispered, looking first at the Cullen family and then at her sisters, sending them an apologetic look. Aro, on the other hand, watched silently.

Caius only glanced at the pair of vampires as the sentence began to be carried out, every second for the blonde was like an eternity. And when the vampires were ready to carry out the sentence, everyone in the wasteland heard a strange outcry from somewhere above...

***

"Aah! Bitch! I hate it!" - As soon as I emerged from such a pleasant darkness, I immediately found myself somewhere above the ground, somewhere high above the ground. This wasn't what I'd expected when I moved, definitely not.

After twisting myself around, I was finally able to correct my position in space, because falling upside down was not very pleasant. As soon as I got straightened up and straightened out, I was really shocked by what was happening...snow! Everywhere I looked, there was snow everywhere. I was in the middle of the night, and I was in the middle of the night. The beauty of being a werewolf was that you could control your own body temperature.

But that wasn't the point, either, for I remembered that there was still a long way to go before winter in my world, and something didn't add up here. Had I gone the wrong way again...? But I could definitely sense that someone in the family needed help...

When I was close to the ground, about thirty meters away, I could see many silhouettes on the ground, thanks to the snow they had a very good contrast. The silhouettes of the Volturi clan were not difficult for me to recognize.

"Ha-ha-ha, is this really such a gift from fate?" - I grimaced ominously in my head, smiling outwardly.

In the end I didn't use the teleporter, wanting to look as spectacular as possible, and how could I not scare the Volturi when such a great chance presented itself...

*Bang!*

With a loud thud I landed with my feet on the ground, slightly bent at the knees. The snow spread around me after the fall, lifting a few feet upward.

Silently standing up and straightening, I looked around. To one side stood the vaguely recognizable Cullens, and many other vampires I recognized as Tanya and Kate...but they were different and much older.

On the opposite side of the Cullens were the Volturi, in full assembly. I'd never seen the Volturi clan all in one place before... interesting. It was interesting, until the realization of the moment hit me.

My eyes traced Aro, the clan leader and his co-leaders, Caius and Marcus, but there was also Irina kneeling next to Caius, and I recognized her, though her hair and appearance were strikingly different from Irina from my world.

So I really wasn't myself again...but what I saw made me furious. I do not know why, but the sight of Irina on her knees awakened in me a bloodthirsty beast that wants to kill, because maybe now somewhere out there is MY Irina and the others are in the same position ...

"Well, well, well, Aro! How glad I am to see you again!" - I exclaimed when the snow that had risen earlier settled and I had a good view of them.

"Do we know each other?" - He asked me a perplexed question, but I could hear a hint of interest in his voice.

"We know each other." - I answered unilaterally with a grin. Slowly I began to walk toward him. The wolf inside me was already growling in impatience, and he wanted very much to show himself and show who was the real alpha here.

"smug" - I mentally shouted at him. I heard a resentful howl in response. Wow, we're tender!

"Now, I'm going to have to ask you to step aside, I need to talk." - I told Aro with the same poker face, so he was a little taken aback and... angry, just what I wanted to see on his face. A grimace of anger!

"Jane." - he kept his voice calm, but he looked at Jane, who I also looked at. I was curious to see what everyone looked like and compare.

Behind him I saw Jane, this version of her also seemed older and much more arrogant...I don't like arrogance, and there was nothing cute about her, I will have an educational talk with this Jane yet...

"What are you trying to do, huh?" - I asked her in a calm and even voice, I had become quite familiar with mental power before, after meeting Chelsea...and when someone tried to use it on me I could sense it and successfully block it.

Before the ritual it was hard to block so that no one would do that to you, but after the ritual it is so much easier, as if before there was an obstacle that prevented me from using my mental powers properly.

"Stop it!" - I pressed it with my aura, and my eyes flashed blood red, making the girl cringe. I didn't think I could do that.

"How dare you!" - ...the clan of clowns, the weaklings who don't even try to develop themselves, only boasting that they are part of such a clan.

Without paying any attention to those, I finally reached my target, Irina. The silly girl was still on her knees looking at this scene with a doomed look.

***

Aro's anger was aroused, how dare this plebeian ignore HIM, but he wouldn't be a leader if he couldn't restrain himself at the right moment. And he had a very interesting specimen in his hands.

By all accounts he was mortal, but how he could crush Jane with his aura is...astonishing! He wanted to see what the man could do.

Aro didn't see this man as an opponent at all, though he somehow managed to crush Jane, but it was only a small trick for the leader of the Volturi clan.
