Summer never ran as fast as she did when Alice told her the news. She had to see what had happened to her son. Visions of Aro raced through her head while she pondered on her beloved Anakin. “Summer, wait!” Esme called out to her. A tear flowed down Summer’s cheek; she didn’t turn back, “I can’t, Esme,” she whispered softly, knowing that she would be heard. Jake pulled on a t-shirt and ran towards the gate, trying to catch up with Summer, but even he couldn’t out-run her this time. This time, Summer was determined to lay down the law. In her heart, she knew the Volturi broke some rule in their “agreement.”

Summer didn’t bother slowing down her pace. Her دل beat rapidly as she flew up the stairs and burst through the towering mahogany doors; Jake was just a few feet behind her. Everything was just the same as it had always been. The fake lobby was set up like the lobby of a prestigious law office, and yet another innocent, ignorant girl sat behind the receptionist desk. The girl who sat there today was a lovely blushing brunette. “She’s going to be a particularly nice snack for them, isn’t she?” Summer thought to herself, disgusted. Jake, who was only slightly out of breath from the chase, finally reached Summer’s side. He smoothed back his uncombed hair and gave Summer a puzzled stare, obviously wondering what she was planning to do. Summer simply shrugged, but didn’t smile because she knew Jake had a point. What could she possibly do at the moment?

The brunette girl stared at Summer with caution, “May I help you?” she inquired. Summer gave her a brief smile, “No, thanks. I think we can manage.” Summer took Jake سے طرف کی the hand and speedily walked down the hallway. There was no audible sound coming from the elders’ hall, which is where Summer expected Anakin to be. The couple quickened their pace and, without hesitation, Jake slammed open the door leading to the elders. Summer stood silently in door way, her mouth agape. The place was empty. Neither a vampire nor a human was in sight. She rushed down to where her old friend, Athe, usually stayed, but even Athe’s room was vacant. Nothing was missing except the vampires and Anakin. Summer checked every room thoroughly, but she heard and found no one. She even looked underground, where Dominique had taken her, but there was no one. Summer trudged back upstairs and sat on the floor, burying her face in her palms. Jake took a نشست at her side and pulled her in closely. He had no words to say, particularly because they had never seen this coming, and since he was in the picture, Alice couldn’t have warned them that this was coming. Jake knew he should’ve expected the Volturi to stoop this low, but it still hit him hard; it was almost unbelievable. The Volturi kidnapped their boy.

Five منٹ had passed, and reluctantly Summer lifted her head and breathed in deeply to calm herself. She tried to wipe away the remaining tears from her face. Jake helped her to her feet. He looked at her deeply in the eyes. His concern wasn’t hidden, “Are آپ alright, Summer?” She looked at the ground and then at Jake, “I’m fine, Jake, but I think that we may have lost our Anakin forever. It’s—“ “Summer, “ Jake took her face into his hands, “don’t be such a doubter. Have faith. We WILL find him, babe; surely they couldn’t have gotten too far.” Summer rested her head on his chest, “But it’s already hard enough to find human kidnappers. How will we manage to find vampire ones?” Jake couldn’t conjure up an answer for that burning question, and his silence reassured Summer that seeking out Anakin would not be easy یا safe. “I suppose we should go back to the house and tell the Cullens.” Summer shook her head, “We won’t need to tell them. Edward will find out as soon as he sees us.” While they walked home, Jake and Summer tried to theorize a workable plan, but they failed miserably. As long as Jake was in the picture Alice couldn’t see any مزید of Anakin’s future, Summer couldn’t use her shield because she didn't know where Anakin and the Volturi were, and the rest of the Cullens’ powers couldn’t contribute to the cause. It all seemed so hopeless. Hand in hand, the two approached the front door. It was unlocked, so they slowly stepped inside. No words were exchanged because no one knew what to say. Summer plopped onto the couch, trying not to stare at her family. Their worried expressions just offered her مزید pain. Rosalie and Emmett sat down اگلے to her, and, shockingly, they both gave Summer a gentle, comforting embrace.

No one expected this to happen. In fact, it was incredibly unexpected. After so many decades, the Volturi would decide to اقدام their clan? How was it possible for blood-drinkers to do such a thing without blowing their cover? Was Anakin that important of an asset to them? Even Carlisle didn’t have an answer. He, Jake, Edward, and Jasper tried analyzing the situation as best as they could, but the Volturi are too unpredictable. No one wanted to say that they’d need to give up on finding Anakin, but everyone knew that it was probably true.
