Rescue "Rheanna, stay here with Bella, Edward, Mackenzie and Renesmee," I whispered into my daughters ear. "Alice, is it safe?" Carlisle asked. I searched the future for the moment. I could see no danger "I think so." I replied. All the vampires besides Bella and Edward were leaving to rescue Sam. Layla had been moping ever since Sam gave her service to the Volturi in exchange for Layla's freedom. "We have to get her back." Layla said "this is all my fault. I was made to join the Volturi, but Sam could have been free. If only I never came here, none of this would have happened" "We'll get her back." Esme reassured her. "You can't be sure" retorted Layla. "Jasper?" I said He used his talent to calm Layla down, and we all ran off into the forest. We arrived at Volterra in the night, and approached the palace. I slipped my hand into Jaspers, and together all of us entered. "Aaaaah, Carlisle, my dear friend. What brings you here?" Aro said "We'd like a member of our coven back." Carlisle replied " You can have her back, but at a price. " Aro said "Take me." Layla said "kill me if you wish. I don't care what you do to me, just let Sam go." "Alec, bring Sam here" Aro said. He returned a few seconds later, holding Sam's hands behind her back. "Such strong bonds you have in your Coven." Aro said "willing to give your #life so another could live." "Layla, NO!! " Sam said "Sam, I was created for a #life with the Volturi. You were created to have freedom. You deserve freedom" Layla said Aro nodded at Felix and Demetri, and They grabbed hold of Layla. "Give Sam back," Aro said "And take Layla away" "NOOO!" Sam screamed, but there was nothing to do. All we could do was stand and watch as Layla was dragged away. A few hours later we were home. It was awkwardly quiet, now that Layla had been taken. Rheanna had gone to bed weeping, despite the fact she never knew Layla that well. Suddenly, I had a vision. Layla, in her room. On her bed, thinking of us.
