Ch. 6: Max

one year later Sept 07

I wrote to Jake about two months after being in Volturi. Telling him about what Edward had done, and about Lilly. We told them where we were. Jake wrote back, saying that he imprinted on Leah and that he was now Alpha. Sam regretted what he did, because he believed Edward. I sent a picture back to show through Jake how normal she seems. Sam wrote me two days after, along with the rest of the pack, except Jake, Leah and Seth, telling me how sorry they was about what happened. I wrote to Jake and told them that it was alright. If they hadn't helped me then I wouldn't know what Edward was capable of. Alice was released and left. I got a letter from her a month after she returned with a male vampire. We were in the garden talking. She hugged me telling me she was sorry. Saying that her visions screwed her up. She thought though her visions she had found two mates, but neither was her mate. She had found her true mate, without using her visions. His name was Alex.

Rose, Emmett, Jasper, me, Lilly, Liz, Charlie, Jane, Angela and Demetri went to Florence to go shopping. We were walking in the street heading from store to store. Lilly was holding my hand, when I felt her let go. I turned around and she was looking down an alley. She turned and walked down the alley, so I followed. She stopped before the shadows touched her and looked at the shadows. "Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you." She said. I looked closer and saw something in the shadows. It walked toward us and I saw a little boy about Lilly's age. He had blue eyes and blonde hair, and blood on his chin. From what I could tell, the blood wasn't his. "Its okay, little one. We won't hurt you." I said. "My name's Lilly. What's yours?" Lilly asked. "Max." He said. I looked back and saw everyone standing there. I walked to them. "He's scared and lonely." Jasper said. "He's scared because he has heard about the Volturi and thinks they will kill him." Liz said.

We ended up taking Max back to the castle. "Max, I have to tell you something. We are part of the Volturi, but they will not hurt you. I promise. You are not the only one of your kind." I said. He nodded. We walked in and Max was holding my hand. "Ah, Isabella. How was the shopping." Aro asked. "It was alright, but we found someone." I said. He looked at Max. "He's a hybrid?" Aro asked. "I think so." I said. Aro walked over and Max coward behind me. "Don't be afraid, little one." Aro said. Aro held out his hand as to shake it. Max took his hand. "You were right, Isa." Aro said. "Whats a hybrid?" Max asked. "Half vampire/half human. Lilly is one as well. My daughter." I said. "But you are still alive." Max said. "Yes, I was bitten right after she was born." I said.

Max and Lilly went on to play while Aro, me, Jasper, Carlisle, Angela, Demetri, Rose and Emmett was in the family room. "I seen the boys thoughts. He is a hybrid. His mother died during childbirth and his father was so distraught that he killed himself." Aro said. "Should someone adopt him?" Rose asked. Aro was about to speak when Marcus cut him off. "Cindy?" He asked his mate. I looked at her and she was starting into space. When she came to, she looked at her worried mate. "Angela and Demetri should adopt him. I see a lot happing in the future." She said, then left with her mate. I looked at Angela and Demetri and they were looking at each other.

Demetri and Angela went to talk to Max. I went to the gardens while Jasper went to see Marcus. I was sitting in the bench in front of the water fountain, when I heard someone clear their throat. I looked and saw Jasper. He walked over to me and got down on one knee. "My beautiful Isa. We have been through a lot but we came out together and stronger. Will you do me the honor by making me the happiest guy in the world and be my wife. Will you marry me, my Isa." He said. He pulled put a ring case that had a ring with diamonds and sapphires with a silver band. I jumped at him knocking us both down. "Yes!" I cried out. I heard a sigh of relive. I pulled back to look at him. I leaned in and kissed him passionately. Soon I heard catcalls and cheers. I looked to the right and saw our friends and family. Then it hit me. "What about Lilly?" I asked Jasper. "She's the one that told me to ask you. Plus she's never seen him as a dad to her. She asked me, with your permission, to adopt her." He said. I would cry if I could. "Of course." I said.

Lilly and I had went back to my maiden name, since Charlie was turned 6 months ago. Edward had told me that he wanted us to use his real lady name, Masen. I was glad when Carlisle and Esme took everything that was in the Cullen name away from him. Jasper, the family accountant and historian, said that as far as he knew Edward had very little in the Masen name. And most of Carlisle and Jasper's friends in the states, as well as the rest of the world was on the look out from him and took to Lilly with ease. Some even visit her, like the Denalis and the Amazon coven
