The massive doors of the Volturi chamber opened as Felix and Demetri returned, escorting Edward Cullen between them. Bella and Alice followed closely behind, their footsteps echoing against the ancient stone floor. The entire guard watched in silence. Y/n stood beside Caius, her long curls falling around her shoulders, deep crimson eyes fixed on the three Cullens. Demetri remained close at her side, his attention briefly drifting toward her before returning to the prisoners. Edward looked ahead toward the thrones. Bella looked terrified. Alice remained composed. And somewhere beyond the towering columns, the ancient Volturi waited to decide whether any of them would leave Volterra alive.
