 "We ought to think that we are one of the
leaves of a tree, and the tree is all
humanity. We cannot live without
the others, without the tree."
- Pablo Casals
A year has passed since the Volturi encounter in the clearing. Our lives went on as usual, though nothing and yet everything has changed. My mother and father are perfectly content in their comfortable bliss. Mom has been acting funny. She seems stressed out and no matter how much I ask she won't tell me the problem. It must not be too bad, otherwise dad would be even worse. Aunt Rose is starting to annoy me, she hovers more than anyone I know. Wait, that's not true. Jacob is the most over-protective person I know, which is really annoying me to my wits end. Carlisle has been searching for any evidence of any type of shape-shifter in history as well as the 'children of the moon'. Esme redecorated the cottage yet again which I'm sure won't be the last. My room alone has gone through hundreds of wallpapers, decorations, and comforter sets in the past several months alone! As for Alice and Jazz, Alice has been trying to coax me into wasting more money on expensive clothes I'll grow out of in the next month. Jazz just calms both me and my mother on a near daily basis. Emmett won't let up on his semi-grudge with my mom because of those idiotic arm-wrestling matches. Rosalie like I said, hovers.
My father however has been talking a lot with Alice, and now so is my mom. Something is wrong, I know it. They all have been talking and usually they try to keep me locked up here, suddenly they've been urging me to spend more time at La Push with Jacob and the packs. The only thing that could have them so worried as they are now is...The Volturi.
Of course I've shown Jacob my theories and now I think I've given him a heavy amount of anxiety. The Volturi has been very cruel from what I've over-heard. While in the amazon, Zafrina said the Volturi had tracked Nahuel's father, Joham, down and let Jane and Alec handle the execution. Then they began hunting down any more of his children, killing one of Nahuel's sisters.
The Romanians are pressing other covens to prepare themselves for a real war. When will our problems end?
It's what Jacob told me that truly has me concerned. A full moon occurred the other night, which was nothing...usually. This time there was howling, he described it as this thunderous sound that was loud enough for both his pack and Sam's to hear. It was not another shifter, that much he could tell and because it was like thunder, it was hard to tell how many. By the time they reached the forest to investigate, it was long gone. The scent was all that lingered, and it was more wolf than anything else. What worried him was the scent wasn't isolated...it wasn't alone. Children of the moon - a pack. Why here and now? Everything is changing. If the Romanians are right, and a war is coming, maybe what we need now is to stay together. How do I tell my family this? No one can settle this alone and we're going to need all the help we can find. That is...if it doesn't find us.
