Anakin was an incredibly gifted vampire, just like his mother and Aro. As a shield, he could heal, stun, and "mind roll," but he was unable to read thoughts. He was baffled as to why his parents were actuación so odd lately. Summer seemed out of sorts, and Jake seemed highly infuriated at something o someone. Thankfully, his sister and younger brothers were still going about their lives in a normal fashion. Still, Anakin couldn't divert his confusion. He knew something was up because Sam and the guys had left early to inform the Cullens about a mysterious package that his parents received in the mail. Anakin also observed that the package did not have a return address on it. Being the brilliant logician that he is, Anakin desperately desired to know just what was taking place. "Come and sit, dear." Summer called to Anakin from the dining room. Jake sat siguiente to her, his eyebrows furrowed. Anakin cautiously took a asiento in front of his mom and dad.

Jake began the long-awaited conversation first, "Anakin, son, we know that all this ruckus must be pretty confusing for you, so we've decided to explain everything to tu now, rather than wait to do it later like we had planned. Desperate times call for desperate measures." Summer nodded in affirmation, "Your father is correct, darling. There is much that we must explain to you." Anakin ran a hand through his supple black hair and anxiously gazed into their eyes, "Please mom and dad, tell me. What could possibly have tu all in such distraught? I thought that there was virtually nothing a vampire and werewolf couldn't handle together?" Jake and Summer stared at each other with widened eyes. The news would definitely be much más of a shock to Anakin than they had expected. Summer ventured on to tell Anakin about the Volturi and her connections with the former head elder, Aro. She explained her relationship with Aro and her reasons behind running away with Chloe. She also explained the situations leading up to her pregnancy with Anakin. Throughout the conversation, Anakin sat as still as a rock, but his facial expression grew in sternness. He shifted his gaze from his parents to the table.

When Summer retold the story of Aro's death, Jake was positive that he saw Anakin cringe. He felt sorry for him. What must it be like to find out all of this at eighteen years of age? Jake was sure that it wasn't pleasant. He wondered how Anakin's amor for him would change after this talk. Finally, Summer explained their run-in with Caius and Marcus at her wedding. She unveiled the compromise that she had made with them concerning Anakin's future. Anakin did nothing but stare at the mesa, tabla with a grim expression. When Summer finished her twenty-minute long explanation, a heavy silence fell upon the room; even a normal human could have heard a pin drop if they were present. Jake felt the need to comfort his son, "Ani? Surely tu must have something to say about all this." Anakin remained dead silent. Summer shifted uneasily in her chair, "Ani, what's wrong? We've told tu everything." After a long minute, Anakin spoke in a hushed tone, "Yes, tu told me, but that is not the disturbing part of it all." Jake gave Summer's hand a gentle squeeze. Her eyes were glued on Anakin and his obvious displeasure. His golden eyes blazed with rising anger.

Anakin gave Summer a cold, harsh stare that stabbed her corazón like a double-edged sword, "Ani," she whispered as she fought back a tear, "what have we done to offend you?" "How can I trust you, mother? How is it possible to grow up and become an adult without realizing that your selfish parents were lying to tu your entire life? Why, I must be the greatest fool on earth!" "Anakin," Jake pleaded, "we lied to protect you." "Protect me from what exactly? My true father's power? tu all speak about the Volturi through a biased perspective. Why should I even attempt to listen to you? tu all just don't want me to assume my father's responsibility in the Volturi clan because they're your alleged enemies!" Summer shook her head sadly, "Anakin Black, what is wrong with you? This is such childish behavior for you." Anakin growled lowly, "It's childish to be upset at lying parents who kept such a secret hidden for all these years? tu are highly mistaken, mother. It is tu and dad who are actuación childish."

Anakin got up to leave, but Jake caught him por the shoulder, "Young man, we are not finished here." "True," Anakin agreed and sat back down, "there is one más thing. When will we be leaving for Volterra?" Summer's gaze fell in defeat, "6AM tomorrow morning. Be sure to pack enough for a full seven days." Anakin nodded in response. Summer guardedly caressed her son's cold arm, "Little Ani, is there something else that has angered you, o are tu truly this infuriated with us for not telling tu about all this sooner?" Anakin contemplated for a while.

Jake placed his balmy hand on Anakin's back and kissed the parte superior, arriba of his head, "Tell us, Anakin. We honestly never want to hurt you, son. Surely tu ought to know that." Anakin tried to maintain composure, but he clenched his teeth instead, "Even though father was a bad guy, I don't think it was right of tu all to kill him. The thought of killing him should never have appealed to tu so strongly. No one deserves death without proper questioning. Maybe he was just a messed up guy." He balled his fists, "Now you'll never know because he's gone forever, without at least knowing my name." Anakin stood lithely and strolled up the staircase towards his room. He slammed the door shut and locked it. Summer buried her face in her icy hands.

Jake leaned in to hold her. He tried his best to calm Summer, "Everything will work out for the best, love." Summer didn't look up at him, "At this rate, he won't need a chance to think twice about becoming a miniature Aro, sweetheart. Who would have guessed that sweet little Ani would think that his monstrous father didn't deserve death?" Jake helplessly stared up at the ceiling, "Well, he hates our guts at the moment, so there's not much we can do to convince him otherwise right now." "I wish we didn't need to go to Volterra tomorrow. Ugh, this situation couldn't possible get any worse." Jake leaned down and gave her a long kiss on the forehead, "Be calm, babe. I will find a way to change his mind in Volterra. I promised to save tu from Aro, didn't I? Well, I promise that Anakin will not become head elder. tu just need to trust me, Summer." Summer returned his kiss, "I trust tu with all of my heart, honey, and I know that if we do not leave for Volterra por the morning, we will be jeopardizing the lives of everyone we know and love. But still, the very thought of Anakin allying with the Volturi sickens me. Soon, he may be the enemy we thought we defeated when we killed Aro, only much, much worse." Jake tightened his embrace around Summer. Suppose she was right? If things did come to that, would he and Summer be forced to sacrifice themselves in order to tame their wayward son? After all, Anakin's resentment was mainly focused on them. All Anakin needed now was Aro's bloodlust, and who would be más capable of training him to be like Aro than the conspiring Volturi clan?
