- Ha... don't sulk! – when I approached them and said that I was going to leave, Jane began to sniff resentfully with universal resentment on her face. Without thinking, he pulled the vampiress to him, now she looked more like an inflated hamster, which only made her cuter. Alec reacted more calmly, but it was clear that he didn't want to say goodbye either.

The girl tried to escape from the tight embrace a couple of times, but realizing that she had lost with a bang, she clung to me like a Koala, wrapping her tiny legs around my waist. Although Jane was much older than me, but her character was like a child's.

"It's for the best," a thought flew through my head.

But I still had to be surprised, honestly, I never thought that the mantle was so free and not restraining movement.

- Alex... I won't let you in! – squeaked the person clinging to me. What a cutie she is, I would have squeezed her, but there is no time ... although I can teleport at any time, so in principle you can stay for an hour or two.

- All right, send to your room, we'll talk there ... – having reconciled myself to my fate, I looked at Alec... that's it! Just look at him, standing there with an idiotic smile and glaring at me.

- Let's go, I say. – the moment of heavenly punishment came, Alec was stupid, so I had to slap him, which I did with considerable pleasure, but it's a secret! After snatching it from me, he "nodded" according to me and we moved to their room while I slowly stroked Jane's head. At first, she was snuffling, but soon a satisfactory purring was heard from her.

Soon we came to their room, where we settled down and began our conversation. However, it did not last very long. We were interrupted. Sulpice stumbled into Jane and Alec's room about half an hour later, which was shocking to say the least…

- Alex! You urgently need to escape from here! – running around the room with a wild look, she found me, and immediately took the bull by the horns, or rather the vampire by the fangs…

- What...? Why!? – I didn't understand why on earth I should quickly run away from this place. But strong bewilderment was replaced by apprehension and wariness. My gaze became serious and he looked straight at the vampiress.

- Aro... he's completely crazy because of his power and megalomania! I recently found out that a week ago he sent a squad of vampires after the Denali clan, yesterday they were already here. But in fact, it seems that he just wants to keep you here in Volterra...! – with every word she said, my face became more gloomy, and my mind began to throw up unpleasant pictures of what this bastard could do to my family!

- And even though you know perfectly well what they mean to me, are you suggesting an escape? – on the verge of a whisper, I began to speak, and everything was boiling inside me, I wanted to tear and throw. Which is exactly what I plan to do with one vampire who went. Aro Volturi... you're finished!

- Where are they?! Where is my family?! – a brief moment and I disappear from my place on the bed, disappearing there, I appeared right next to the woman. Rage began to cloud his mind. Taking Sulpice by the throat, I squeezed him and lifted the twitching body into the air automatically.

- I... don't... know... - she croaked in a strangled voice, looking at me with regret and impotence. There was sadness in the woman's eyes... and resentment. But at the moment I couldn't trust her, after all, she was his wife and they had lived together for hundreds of years.

- Tc... useless. – because of the anger that surged over me, I stopped restraining myself and threw her aside. Why did the vampiress fly into the wall with a thud.

Glancing at her with his eyes, as she slowly began to rise, as well as a fleeting glance at Alec and Jane. I saw the fear in the latter's eyes. Inside, everything turned upside down, anger began to recede, and clarity of mind came to replace it.

- I'm sorry. I whispered dryly, looking at the trio. Only now I realized that because of the surging rage I forgot that I could move to them myself, the main thing is to tune in.

Breath. Exhale.

Breath. Exhale.

I disappear from Jane's room and move into some old, time-worn basement, the walls are all scuffed, and moisture has accumulated in the corners on the ceilings.

A second later, I turn around and meet the eyes of my girls. Here they are! Found it! Sisters Denali and Emma were chained along the wall. The creature! I'm going to rip that bastard's head off for sure! How dare he!

- Everything will be fine. – I say more for myself and instantly find myself next to them, starting to inspect each for any damage.

- It's so good that everything is all right with you ... – I said again into the void, a heavy load falls off my shoulders. And I begin to tear off the shackles and chains one by one, carefully laying the girls on the floor to the edge of the wall so that they lean on it.

- You came... . – mom's muffled voice rang out, I see her bleary eyes looking at me. Here she turns off again.

- Yes, I'm here, nearby, everything will be fine now. – I carefully remove Emma from the wall and carry out the same procedure as with the others.

After a while, while I was finishing examining their bodies for any kind of damage, I noticed that they were all recovering. Perhaps an ability was used on them.

In general, everything is fine with them, except that now they are probably very hungry.

- Alex... Alex! – my Tatiana was the first to fully recover, it hurts too quickly and sharply for a hungry vampire, the girl rushes into my arms, and then gives me a greedy kiss. Which I diligently did not answer.

- I'm here. – stroking the girl's back, I said. Hugging her to him. And inhaling the scent of her hair.

After a minute, maybe a minute and a half, the others also regained consciousness. The good thing is that they were not ordinary people, but vampires.

- Great. Now I will ask you, my beloved, come closer to me, we are going home. – I forced a smile, thoughts of an imminent reprisal with Aro were still floating in my head. But the first thing was to bring the girls home to Denali and warm them up.

- Well, well, well, and look who it is here with us...!? – I thought I heard an unkind and mocking voice, with notes of madness. And I even suspect who it is, or rather I was sure of who it was. Only one vampire spoke in such a crazy tone and giggled…

- Aro! Damn you! A pathetic nobody...! – turning to him, I glared at him with an angry, ferocious look. If I had the ability to incinerate, then only a pile of ashes would have been left of Aro long ago, and ideally nothing at all.

- You shouldn't have gone against your family. Ha-ha-ha! – What. Damn. Damn it. This. Bastard. Carries. – I gave you a new life, a good purpose and a glorious goal, after all, you are a Volturi! – How could he hide his maniacal habits from everyone for so long.

- My family is the people who are next to me! – I objected, it was necessary to get out of here urgently before it was too late for us, Aro's assistants were already here. How can it be without them…

As soon as I began to concentrate on the special feeling that always allows me to move not only myself, but also my passengers, I sharply felt the approaching danger.

- Damn it! I exclaimed, pushing my family away from me. Having been distracted quite a bit, Aro and the others were already able to get too close. Unacceptably close.

Pushing them away from me, I hope they will forgive me. I took two quick steps forward and hooked two vampires with my own hands, in general, I never understood why they wear these robes, it's completely inconvenient to fight in them. Therefore, I have never been an adherent of this uniform and regularly violated the dress code.

I stretch out one hand and knock down one of the vampires at super speed, causing him to be imprinted with a loud thud on the stone floor. Taking advantage of a convenient moment, I grab the second vampire with my other hand and wrap the mantle in such a way that I deprive that normal view.

And taking advantage of a suitable opportunity, I turn his head, let him lie down, rest. I think he will not recover soon, if he recovers at all.

The vampire, who was still lying on the floor just a moment ago, managed to deftly jump back to his feet and will now rush not at my girls, but exactly at me.

I understand that I will not have time to regroup in any way, as he already strikes me a direct quick blow to the chest, because I am instantly carried a few meters back, closer to Tatiana and the rest of the girls.

- Raaaaa!!! – I break into a scream, which was more like the roar of an angry predator, and rush forward.

With frenzy, I crash into the opponent and punch his body with my hand, in the part where his heart is located.

With a quiet crunch, the hand passes through the barrier, but not wanting to stop there, it punches another exit (hole) – the back.

In my fist, I was already squeezing his heart, the existence of a vampire determined for me the value of human, and not only human life. But at the moment I was not in a condition to breed polites…

- The one who dared to touch my family must be destroyed... - suddenly I realized one thought that my inner voice seemed to be saying, however, at that moment I was completely one hundred percent in solidarity with him.

Therefore, with one sharp and dexterous movement, I squeeze a cold heart in my hand, causing it to shatter into a million pieces, like a crunch, but it doesn't matter to me at all…

With precise and precise movements of my hands, I first twist the vampire's neck at an angle unknown to me, and then forcefully tear off his head and throw it at the feet of Aro, who stood with a crazy smile and watched what I was doing with his vampires.

"Really crazy, now my main goal is you!" – flashed through my head. Before focusing on protecting loved ones and neutralizing the enemy.
