I could imagine the hole that loss would leave�察�even after a thousand years�察�I tried to visualize the Cullen 
family without their creator�察�their center�察�and their guide!their father�察�Carlisle。 I couldn't see it。 

Carlisle had explained Tanya's history during one of the many nights I'd stayed late at the Cullens' home�察�



                                                                                                              Page 21

learning as much as I could�察�preparing as much as was possible for the future I'd chosen。 Tanya's 
mother's story was one among many�察�a cautionary tale illustrating just one of the rules I would need to be 
aware of when I joined the immortal world。 Only one rule�察�actually!one law that broke down into a 
thousand different facets�此�Keep the secret。 

Keeping the secret meant a lot of things!living inconspicuously like the Cullens�察�moving on before 
humans could suspect they weren't aging。 Or keeping clear of humans altogether!except at 
mealtime!the way nomads like James and Victoria had lived�察�the way Jasper's friends�察�Peter and 
Charlotte�察�still lived。 It meant keeping control of whatever new vampires you created�察�like Jasper had 
done when he'd lived with Maria。 Like Victoria had failed to do with her newborns。 

And it meant not creating some things in the first place�察�because some creations were uncontrollable。 

;I don't know Tanya's mother's name�察─�Carlisle had admitted�察�his golden eyes�察�almost the exact shade of 
his fair hair�察�sad with remembering Tanya's pain。 ;They never speak of her if they can avoid it�察�never think 
ofherwillingly。 

;The woman who created Tanya�察�Kate�察�and Irina!who loved them�察�I believe!lived many years before 
I was born�察�during a time of plague in our world�察�the plague of the immortal children。 

;What they were thinking�察�those ancient ones�察�I can't begin to understand。 They created vampires out of 
humans who were barely more than infants。; 

I'd had to swallow back the bile that rose in my throat as I'd pictured what he was describing。 

;They were very beautiful�察─�Carlisle had explained quickly�察�seeing my reaction。 ;So endearing�察�so 
enchanting�察�you can't imagine。 You had but to be near them to love them�察�it was an automatic thing。 

;However�察�they could not be taught。 They were frozen at whatever level of development they'd achieved 
before 

being bitten。 Adorable two´year´olds with dimples and lisps that could destroy half a village in one of 
their tantrums。 If they hungered�察�they fed�察�and no words of warning could restrain them。 Humans saw 
them�察�stories circulated�察�fear spread like fire in dry brush___ 

;Tanya's mother created such a child。 As with the other ancients�察�i cannot fathom her reasons。; He'd 
taken a deep�察�steadying breath。 ;The Volturi became involved�察�of course。; 

I'd flinched as I always did at that name�察�but of course the legion of Italian vampires!royalty in their 
own estimation!was central to this story。 There couldn't be a law if there was no punishment�察�there 
couldn't be a punishment if there was no one to deliver it。 The ancients Aro�察�Caius�察�and Marcus ruled the 
Volturi forces�察�I'd only met them once�察�but in that brief encounter�察�it seemed to me that Aro�察�with his 
powerful mind´reading gift!one touch�察�and he knew every thought a mind had ever held!was the true 
leader。 

;The Volturi studied the immortal children�察�at home in Volterra and all around the world。 Caius decided 
the young ones were incapable of protecting our secret。 And so they had to be destroyed。 

;I told you they were loveable。 Well�察�covens fought to the last man!were utterly decimated!to protect 
them。 The carnage was not as widespread as the southern wars on this continent�察�but more devastating in 
its own way。 Long´established covens�察�old traditions�察�friends。。。 Much was lost。 In the end�察�the practice 



                                                                                                             Page 22

was completely eliminated。 The immortal children became unmentionable�察�a taboo。 

;When I lived with the Volturi�察�I met two immortal children�察�so I know firsthand the appeal they had。 
Aro studied the little ones for many years after the catastrophe they'd caused was over。 You know his 
inquisitive disposition�察�he was hopeful that they could be tamed。 But in the end�察�the decision was 
unanimous�此�the immortal children could not be allowed to exist。; 

I'd all but forgotten the Denali sisters' mother when the story returned to her。 

;It is unclear precisely what happened with Tanya's mother�察─�Carlisle had said。 ;Tanya�察�Kate�察�and irina 
were entirely oblivious until the day the Volturi came for them�察�their mother and her illegal creation 
already their prisoners。 It was ignorance that saved Tanya's and her sisters' lives。 Aro touched them and 
saw their total innocence�察�so they were not punished with their mother。 

;None of them had ever seen the boy before�察�or dreamed of his existence�察�until the day they watched 
him burn in their mother's arms。 I can only guess that their mother had kept her secret to protect them 
from this exact outcome。 But why had she created him in the first place�拭�Who was he�察�and what had he 
meant to her that would cause her to cross this most uncrossable of lines�拭�Tanya and the others never 
received an answer to any of these questions。 But they could not doubt their mother's guilt�察�and I don't 
think they've ever truly forgiven her。 

;Even with Aro's perfect assurance that Tanya�察�Kate�察�and Irina were innocent�察�Caius wanted them to 
burn。 Guilty by association。 They were lucky that Aro felt like being merciful that day。 Tanya and her 
sisters were pardoned�察�but left with unhealing hearts and a very healthy respect for the law___; 

I'm not sure where exactly the memory turned into a dream。 One moment it seemed that I was listening 
to Carlisle in my memory�察�looking at his face�察�and then a moment later I was looking at a gray�察�barren 
field and smelling 

the thick scent of burning incense in the air。 I was not alone there。 

The huddle of figures in the center of the field�察�all shrouded in ashy cloaks�察�should have terrified me 
!they could only be Volturi�察�and I was�察�against what they'd decreed at our last meeting�察�still human。 But 
I knew�察�as I sometimes did in dreams�察�that I was invisible to them。 

Scattered all around me were smoking heaps。 I recognized the sweetness in the air and did not examine 
the mounds too closely。 I had no desire to see the faces of the vampires they had executed�察�half afraid 
that I might recognize someone in the smoldering pyres。 

The Volturi soldiers stood in a circle around something or someone�察�and I heard their whispery voices 
raised in agitation。 I edged closer to the cloaks�察�compelled by the dream to see whatever thing or person 
they were examining with such intensity。 Creeping carefully between two of the tall hissing shrouds�察�I 
finally saw the object of their debate�察�raised up on a little hillock above them。 

He was beautiful�察�adorable�察�just as Carlisle had described。 The boy was a toddler still�察�maybe two years 
of age。 Light brown curls framed his cherubic face with its round cheeks and full lips。 And he was 
trembling�察�his eyes closed as if he was too frightened to watch death coming closer every second。 

I was struck with such a powerful need to save the lovely�察�terrified child that the Volturi�察�despite all their 
devastating menace�察�no longer mattered to me。 I shoved past them�察�not caring if they realized my 
presence。 Breaking free of them altogether�察�I sprinted toward the boy。 



                                                                                                                Page 23

Only to stagger to a halt as I got a clear view of the hillock that he sat upon。 It was not earth and rock�察�
but a pile of human bodies�察�drained and lifeless。 Too late not to see these faces。 I knew them all 
!Angela�察�Ben�察�Jessica�察�Mike。。。。 And directly beneath the adorable boy were the bodies of my father 
and my mother。 

The child opened his bright�察�bloodred eyes。 

3。 BIG DAY 

My own eyes flew open。 

I lay shivering and gasping in my warm bed for several minutes�察�trying to break free of the dream。 The 
sky outside my window turned gray and then pale pink while I waited for my heart to slow。 

When I was fully back to the reality of my messy�察�familiar room�察�I was a little annoyed with myself。 What 
a dream to have the night before my wedding� �That's what I got for obsessing over disturbing stories in 
the middle of the night。 

Eager to shake off the nightmare�察�I got dressed and headed down to the kitchen long before I needed to。 
First I cleaned the already tidy rooms�察�and then when Charlie was up I made him pancakes。 I was much 
too keyed up to have any interest in eating breakfast myself!I sat bouncing in my seat while he ate。 

;You're picking up Mr。 Weber at three o'clock�察─�I reminded him。 

;I don't have that much to do today besides bring the minister�察�Bells。 I'm not likely to forget my only 
job。; Charlie had taken the entire day off for the wedding�察�and he was definitely at loose ends。 Now and 
then�察�his eyes flickered furtively to the closet under the stairs�察�where he kept his fishing gear。 

;That's not your only job。 You also have to be dressed and presentable。; 

He scowled into his cereal bowl and muttered the words ;monkey suit; under his breath。 

There was a brisk tapping on the front door。 

;You think you have it bad�察─�I said�察�grimacing as I rose。 ;Alice will be working on me all day long。; 

Charlie nodded thoughtfully�察�conceding that he did have the lesser ordeal。 I ducked in to kiss the top of 
his head as I passed!he blushed and harrumphed !and then continued on to get the door for my best 
girlfriend and soon´to´be sister。 

Alice's short black hair was not in its usual spiky do!it was smoothed into sleek pin curls around her
