As the Cullens got home they continued to ponder on what they had witnessed. Unsure of how it actually happened during the battle, and how could the volturi have died so quickly leaving only two alive and untouched.
"Carlisle, I am sorry for starting that fight but I just couldn't let it go for what they did in the past"
"Vladimir, although I ought to be mad at you but I would just like to say thank you" Said Carlisle
"I'm flattered, but there's no need to thank me and I better be off now, if you ever need me again, I will gladly help"
"Wait my boy Ateara wants to meet you" said Renesmee
Ateara walked towards Vlad to shake his hands, Vlad then greeted him back "It's a pleasure to meet you too Ateara, we will meet again soon"
After Vlad had gone they spent most the rest of the night thinking about what happened at the battle, then suddenly Bella looked to Jacob then faced Edward and at the same time they turned to face Ateara. To them the boy was seemingly sweet and innocent and so they approached him to have a talk to see what else they can get out of him, but Ateara kept quiet and they still couldn't figure out how he was feeling or how he felt during the battle.
"If we can't figure this out by talking to him maybe we can figure it out another way" said Bella
"Yeah we know what one of his gift is, we just need to know the other and how it's tied in, and what is this other way of teaching" Jacob asked
Bella replied "Edward Knows" and Edward smiled "What Bella means is that Ateara is probably just as stubborn and independent like she is and just needs a proper situation where he needs to see what's going on and how he feels." Edward explained.
"If Ateara did actually kill the volturi, then he must have felt something before reacting, which also brings us to the other question: why did he leave two standing?" Bella said
"Well we know it's during while we were fighting, so he was seeing a lot of violence and he probably felt a little desperate or even scared" Bella said.
"If he's anything like Renesmee and then he probably felt fear for the ones that loves him and got upset which gradually turned to hurt and anger..." Jacob explained "And he used the first gift he could see which happened to be Jane's" Bella finished. Everyone looked at them "It's worth considering" Bella said
It was getting late, but they still intended to figure out Ateara's second gift. They had tried several ways, even Ateara got a little tired so Jacob and Renesmee took him to bed and stayed to keep him safe whilst the rest continued figuring out what triggers his gift.
Chief Ephraim Black and Amelia Ateara came back that night and walked straight into the house, "Chief Black and Amelia, what brings you back here?" asked Bella.
"I'm glad to see you are unharmed after facing the volturi, which by the way how did you guys escape so easily?"
Everyone looked around at each other then eventually Edward responded "Well we were unharmed due to the extra protection but it was Ateara who wiped out the volturi leaving only two unharmed, we are still trying to figure out the real trigger and why he left two"
"Well I'm sure Ateara does have his reasons and whether he knows or not we will just have to wait when he is ready to talk" said Chief Black.
"But how will we know?" asked Renesmee
"He will let you know," Amelia answered.
All they could do was wait so they carried on doing their usual day to day jobs and activities whilst Ephraim and Amelia watched from afar.
As Edward walked back into the room after putting Ateara to bed he read Alice's mind as she got a vision.
