Bella watched Andy throw Jasper across the Cullen's backyard with fascination. They'd been at it for an hour now, the only rule; no powers. 

Andy was agile, more so than Jasper, she was older too. But according to Alice, Jasper had let loose a creature they called The Major. "He never lets The Major out unless Andy is around." She informed Bella.

"So it's like an alter ego?" She questioned the pixie vampire. 

"Sort of, he's still Jasper and still my mate. Just battle hardened and war ready." She explained. "He doesn't let him take control because The Major want's to be at his strongest."

"He wants to drink human blood." Bella says making the connection and Alice nodded. 

"Andy can keep him distracted long enough to control himself, she's the only one here that can control his thirst like this." Alice turned her attention back to the fight. "I saw her shortly after I'd found Jasper and then the Cullen's, I saw her in a vision. She was talking to Carlisle like an old friend and so I questioned him about her, and he made a decision to ask her for help with Jasper."

"Jasper said they'd already met." Bella said remembering the soldier's comments from the other day.

"She saved his life, and I will be forever thankful for that." Alice smiles as Andy got her arms around Jasper's neck and flung him over her shoulder before pinning him to the ground. "She never turned her back on him when he told her he wanted to feed like the rest of us. Though she would never feed like us, she respected Jazz's decision. She's the closet thing we have to family outside of this." She indicated to the Cullen's around them. "She's closer to us than the Denali's. Emmett says she's our unofficial sister, but I think she's more the cool Aunt that everyone loves."

"That's sweet little Aly," Andy says approaching the pair with Jasper at her side. 

"It's true." Alice says snuggling into her mate's side with a grin. 

"Well I'm honored to be called such. Isabella, care to accompany me for a stroll?" Andy asked the human with a small smile at the skip and increase of her heart beat. "There's nothing to fear, I just wish to get to know more about the newest family member, you will never come to harm by my hands."

Bella gulps and nods getting to her feet. "You can call me Bella," she says softly and Andy smiles as they begin to trek side by side through the woods.

"So Bella, do you have a family?"

"I live with my dad," she tells the older vampire, "my mom is with her new husband travelling for his career so I chose to come and live with Charlie."

"You call your father Charlie?"

"It's um, complicated. Do you have a family, I mean do you remember them?" Bella asks hesitantly and Andy gains a far off look in her eyes.

"No." She said, "I don't remember anything before the change."

"At all?" Bella said in horror thinking that would eventually happen to her as well when she changed. She didn't want to forget them.

"My birth into this life is a little different. The vampire that changed me found me unconscious on the shore. That's why I don't remember, I'm sure you will be able to retain your memories, and the Cullen's would never let you forget."

"I'm sorry."

"Whatever for?"

"You had a family and life you don't remember."

"But I have a family and life I do remember." She added. "I am all that remains of my coven," she lifted the silver chain around her neck into view. "We were a family much like this one."

"What happened to them?" Bella asked her curiosity making her forget she was talking to a thousand year old vampire.

"That's a story perhaps for another time." Andy replied. 

"How many newborn armies have you faced?" Bella says changing the topic and Andy smiled in response. 

"Many." She said. "The Southern wars was not the first time I encountered them. My coven used to have great respect for the Volturi, though they kept me a secret because of my abilities until they could trust them more. My father was of a similar age to the Volturi leaders, though we all used to uphold the same laws. The difference between us and them, is we didn't thirst for power though we did have a fair bit. Aegeus used to send me on hunting trips." Andy felt as though she was diving head first into her past.

Flashback About 1080 AD Athens, Greece:

"There is a vampire in Athens trying to make a new born army. He needs to be stopped." Aegeus spoke and Andy grinned up at him glad to be finally seeing some action, it had been a while since she'd been given the opportunity to hunt.

"I shall leave immediately." She grinned.

"Take your brother with you." He added stopping her mid step as she audibly groans as she vanished to another part of the building. 

She reappeared in a male's chambers and growled in disgust at the state of his room. "Tydeus!"

"Sister," came the amused voice of the dark haired male as he pushed the naked women off his form. 

"You're disgusting," she stated indicating to the blood and dead whores lying around his room. 

"Live a little Andromeda." He replies standing in his birthday suit. He walked across the room and wrapped a pathetic piece of fabric around his midsection. Not that it made a difference to Andy, she'd already seen everything. "What can I do for you?"

"We're going hunting, get dressed." She stated walking to his door.

"I'm not in the mood." He responded with a shrug. 

"Then I'll take Phineus," she says stepping out.

"What are you hunting?" He asks curiously from the center of the room.

A wide grin crossed her lips knowing she had him in the bag, "newborns." She turns slightly flashing him a smirk that he returned.

The pair made their way through Athens side by side. They had tracked the army to an abandoned stone building that led underground. "Ladies first." Tydeus indicated to the dark tunnels.

"Coward," she muttered leading the way into the dark following the scents. They could both hear chanting coming from  crowed of about twenty vampires. The room was littered with the rotting corpses of their meals.

"WE ARE THE NEW , WE ARE THE POWERFUL AND NONE STAND A CHANCE AGAINST US." One of them, shouted clearly the leader. "WE WILL NO LONGER BE OPPRESSED BUT THE LORDS IN CRETE. SOON THEY WILL BOW TO US!" The newborns roared in agreement. "WE WILL END THEM ALL!!! WE WILL END THE FALSE GODS."

"FALSE GODS, FALSE GODS." They chant.

"AT DAWN WE WILL KILL THEM ALL!"

"KILL THEM, KILL THEM!" 

Tydeus and Andromeda share a look nodding to each other. These newborns needed to be put down. "WE WILL-" The leader spoke only to be cut off by hands around his neck as Andy appeared directly behind him. She smirked at the scent of fear as she quickly separated his head from his body.

"I'm sorry, what was that?" she asked the now headless vampire with a smirk. The newborns erupt into chaos as she stood before them. "I only have one thing to say to you lot..." A maniacal grin formed on her lips. "Run!"

A small group of larger males move  to attack her, and the rest scatter. She ducks the arms of one and snaps the arm off another. Tydeus appeared beside her bright orange flames burning in his hands and he grinned at their fear. Venom is highly flammable, and Tydeus demonstrated this by setting the newborns alight with a simple touch. He tackled the vampire heading for Andy's back and she nodded at him in thanks as he grips the newborn's throat. The fire in his palm burnt through separating the head from the torso. 

Andromeda appeared at his side as they count the corpses. "Two have escaped."

"They're all yours little sister." He comments and she grins. 

Stalking out into the night she caught the two scents that had split different directions. One was headed South to the sea, the other inland. 

Turning south she took off teleporting and running at a high speed to catch her prey before it hits water and she's unable to track it. Her keen sight picked up movement just in front of the shore and she teleported directly in front of it getting tackled to the ground in the process. 

A deep snarl left the newborn's throat as he tried to tackle Andromeda again. The more experienced vampire simply stepping to the side. She maneuvered her arms around the vampire's larger body and sank her teeth into the flesh of his neck snapping his head off in the process. With no remorse she grabbed a torch that lit the street and used it to set the creature alight. 

"Where's the other one?" Tydeus said appearing at her side. 

"She ran into Volturi territory." Andy said, "this one was smarter, heading for the water when they split."

"I'll have Aegeus send a letter to the Volturi. Her scent is easy to recognize, they'll return her to us for punishment." He states as she wipes the venom from her lips. "Let's go home."

"But she-"

"You'll get your prey soon enough. Father does not want you crossing paths with the Volturi just yet."

"Fine." She grumbled. "But I need to feed before I can take us both back."

He could sense her. His mind was always latched onto her tenor anyway, always wanting to know where the little mouse had gotten off to. "Jane's going to let them attack the Cullen's." He states standing next to the giant he called friend. 

"Aro want's to know the strength of their coven. He wants to see if they can withstand an attack of this nature." Felix comments glancing over at the little house where the witch twins were talking to two vampires. 

"We're being watched." Demetri tells Felix.

"A new born?"

"Yes." He says catching the female scent in the air deciding to leave it be. 

"That's not all that's got you on edge." Felix says knowingly.

"Andromeda's here. I suspect to help the Cullen's. Her scent linger's nearby." He tells Felix feeling the newborn who was watching the house leave the premises. "The red head cannot control the newborns very well if their own are spying on them." 

"You're letting her go?" Felix raised a brow in confusion at the tracker. 

"I want to see how it plays out." He says with a shrug.

"Keep an eye on them." Jane tells Demetri dragging Felix and her brother away. 

The tracker moved through the shadows watching the pair as they approached one of the older newborns. He didn't bother to learn names they'll all be dead soon enough. The redhead taunted the younger vampire before tearing him limb from limb with the help of the male she convinced was her mate. She left the male to finish the job and Demetri chose to follow her, knowing full well the redhead was pulling all the strings.

Andy moved swiftly through the forest surrounding Seattle. She needed to feed, and be at her strongest when the army came and the dogs wouldn't let her feed on the locals. 

She entered the street cautiously picking up the scents of other vampires, but also the familiar minty scent of Demetri. She knew why he was here, she's not a fool. It just came to whether the Volturi will end the army before or after they attacked the Cullen's. She suspected the latter. 

She hunted swiftly and concealed the evidence before robbing a blood bank and filling her backpack. She hated cold blood but would need to hunt closer to the attack given the amount of energy it took to teleport she would require extra for after the battle as well. 

As she finished up she could taste the tang of venom on the air. Curious she followed the invisible trail left by a newborn. She tilted her nose up in disgust at the sight of an old drug spot that had been abandoned, no doubt it's residents had been eaten. 

She found the severed head of a male first. "They didn't even clean up properly." She snorted to herself. It didn't surprise her though, newborns are volatile and their numbers tend to fluctuate because of intra-coven fighting. She picked it up by it's shaggy black hair and continued to wander following the venom scent collecting the limbs as she walked. 

She looked at the remains getting flashbacks of her favorite brother. This newborn held a striking resemblance  to Tydeus, right down to the pasty olive tone of his skin. Tydeus had a family before he was changed, maybe this newborn was a descendant of his. 

She was fighting with herself over the child. "It's a mere coincidence." She tried to convince herself.

With a sigh pulled out a lighter.

A/N: Okay folks sorry about the filler, question time... Do I save Bree (because honestly I liked her book the most)? Comment below and let me know if you want her to survive, because even though Andy is a nomad I think she needs buddies that will go with her as the Cullen's and Egyptians don't leave their own territories often. Bonus points if you can guess who the 'dead' vampire is.
