Roomies @TheVolturiChild Evie bounced on her bed begging me to take her hunting. Layla bristled. "No" she snapped, firmly. I gave her a sideways look but said nothing. I smelt something, we both snapped to attention. "What?" Asked Evie. "Such a Human sense of smell" said me and Layla together we laughed and went downstairs. Carlisle flung us backwards, getting the hint I made a portal and me and Layla ended up on the roof. "They might see me" hissed Layla. "I hope they do!" I grinned. "What?" Spluttered Layla. "You want the volturi to take me? But I want to stay!" She wined. "No, you numptie. Jasper managed to fix the command thing with his power. It's a long boring story, ask Carlisle! Anyway the thing is, you never have to go back, EVER don't worry about keeping us safe. We were in worse trouble before you came along, trust me" I explained. Layla raised her eyebrows. "What do you mean?" She asked. "Have you met the disaster magnet that we call Bella?!" I asked. I heard hissing from down stairs. Layla laughed. "I guess so, but the volturi running to forks from Italy once a week. It gets old" insisted Layla. I shrugged. "Their more interesting than next door neighbours" Layla laughed again. "You think I'm kidding!" I warned her. Suddenly I pulled back into the shadows on the roof as a girl in a black cloak looked up at us. I saw a shimmery green light around us. "Bella's force field" I whispered, as jane became frustrated at trying to hurt us. Then her pretty features contorted into an evil smile. "Layla come home" she ordered. Layla snapped to attention, I gripped her arm. But then she laughed. "This IS my home jane" she grinned happily. "Come home now" roared Aro. Layla looked at him. "I am home, I will never leave the Cullens. I have bonded to them, it's a bond stronger than you will ever know. It's love for a REAL family" she snapped. I smiled. Everyone of the volturi tried, but Layla wouldn't come home. "Well don't worry Aro, we after all do seem to do a better job of looking after her than you!" I smirked. "Let her choose" said Carlisle firmly. Me and Layla slid down of the roof, the force field flexing and stretching to fit round us. Layla squeezed my hand. "Sam, I don't know if I'm strong enough to do this" she whispered. "If you can't do it, we will know which family you truly belong to" said Emmett sharply. I shot him an evil look. "It IS true Layla, you may have a stronger bond with the volturi. No one is blaming you if that happens" I told her. She walked forward, the volturi commanded her home. Something inside her broke and all the anger she felt came out in one sentance. She looked Aro in the eyes and said: "I-HATE-YOU!" She breathed, saying the words at last. She came back to us. Aro seemed stunned. Alexis emerged from the trees after they left. "Um, can I stay with you?" She asked timidly. Her eyes alighted on Rheanna. "Rheanna!" She gasped, everyone stared at her. Rheanna ran to her. "What's going on?" Asked Alice rapidly reading the future. "Me and Rheanna, we er used to work for, the volturi" explained Alexis. We gaped at her. Layla hissed... .
