"That is your future if you decide it to be" Alice confidently stated as she stood back form Aro who had just witnessed his own death, he stood in shock by what he has just witnessed, before he glanced at the family that's courage was so strong that they would die just for one child to live.

"The child still proposes a threat" Ciaus states by Aro's side as he looked at the man with no words.

"But what if you were sure she could be concealed from the human world?" Edward added on, and Riley smiled inwardly to herself as she glanced at the woods nearby, giving a nod as a signal. "Could we live in peace?"

"Of course, but that can not be known." Ciaus defended sharply, Alice walking backwards as Riley was slowly released from her hold, making Alice instantly grab the girls hand to pull her away from the body guards.

"Actually, it can" Edward responded, and that's when everyone took notice of the two figures walking out from the trees, bringing curiously to both sides as they had no idea who Riley and Alice had brought with them. Riley sent the pair a kind smile as they reached closer, making the man give her a gentle nod in return.

"I've been searching for witnesses of my own" Alice spoke quickly, standing head on to the Volturi as he hand remained in twined with Riley's. "Riley had found out about the legends within the Tekona tribes of Brazil"

"We have enough witnesses—" Ciaus goes to argue, only for Aro to send him a shape glare.

"Let them speak" Aro snaps back, silencing the man as Riley let out a small breath of relief that they were actually going to listen to them.

"I am half human, half vampire, like the child" Nahuel speaks into the tense air as the Volturi watch him closely. "A vampire seduced my mother, who died giving birth to me, my aunt Huilen raised me as her own, I made her immortal" he states as his aunt glanced his way slightly.

"How old are you?" Bella questions on the other side of the battle field, she was eager to know if her daughter would be safe and healthy. Obviously they could all only hear her because of their supernatural hearing plus Athena's spell.

"150 years" Nahuel nodded at her, the Volturi leaders stepped forwards with a thirst for knowledge.

"At what age did you meet full maturity?" Aro asked.

"I became fully grown 7 years after my birth" He answered, glancing at Riley who gave him an encouraging smile. "I have not changed since then" Renesmee was going to be safe.

"And your diet?" Aro quizzed.

"Blood, human food" Nahuel listed off, "I can survive off either" Riley squeezed Alice's hand as she realised that their plan was succeeding.

"These children are much like us..."

"Regardless, the Cullen's have been consulting with werewolves...our natural enemies" Ciaus argues, making Riley glare slightly at him as she decides to speak next.

"Only because one of them is my mate" Riley explains sharply, defending the Wolves who swelled in pride at the sight of her defending them against the Volturi, without even flinching at them, Aro sent her a glance of acknowledgment.

Aro spins around to his clan, "Dear ones...there is no danger here, we will not fight today" And they all began to turn away and walk, making Alice glance back at her family with excitement, Alice had missed her mate for last couple weeks and couldn't bare to wait any longer to jump into his arms. After all the vampires has sped away, Aro had glanced back creepily for one last look. "Such a prize...." he muttered before he too was gone.

Riley immediately let a big smile break out in her face as she let go of Alice's hand and jumped forward to hug Nahuel. "Thank you so much" the man just patted her back weakly before she pulled back from him. "Truly, thank you"

"Riley" Alice called her name, and Riley quickly grabbed Alice's hand before they ran over to where their family was celebrating.

"Riles!" Bella breathed out as she dived towards her sister, squeezing her heavily. "Never do that again! You scared me half to death!" Bella scolded, her arms not letting go of her sister.

"I kind of need my arms Bells" Riley complained as she was stuck against her sister, who quickly let go of her with a small gasp, Riley then reached up and pressed a kiss to Edward's cheek. "Thank you for keeping her safe, and my niece of course" Edward sent her a warm smile quickly in response.

"Riley!" Someone else shouted and she turned to see the women's coming out one by one in a pair of shorts they had put on, and she grinned at the sight of her imprint, her legs took off on their own as she eagerly ran forward to his arms, him running just as fast as he craved her touch.

Their bodies collided quickly as his arms engulfed her full body against his warm chest, his arms circling her waist tightly as she clung to his torso. A piece of her came back as she was finally in the arms of her boyfriend who she loved dearly, her nose filling with the scent of his muscular wood smell, his head dipping into her neck as he started to place soft kisses against her.

"You're not allowed to leave me ever again" Paul growled out as he held her closer, praising himself as he heard a giggle come out of her, he let his eyes close in their peaceful moment. "Never again"
