"Interesting," he muttered to himself as he let Greyson's hand go. He turned his ruby eyes back to Christina, who stiffened under his watch. With his hand still outreached he asked, "may I?"

Christina stepped forward, in front of Greyson and placed her hand into his, knowing the questions he wanted answers to. He hummed lowly with his eyes closed, watching every scene happen before his eyes.

"Magnifico!" He exclaimed as he let Christina's hand go softly.

She stepped back into Carlisle's side, and pulled Greyson behind her, not trusting Aro's smile.

"Half mortal, and half immortal," Aro explained to the crowd. "Conceived and carried by these newborns — one while she was human, and the other... due to her power."

"Impossible!" Caius growled out.

Aro's smile dropped slowly as he turned to look at his brother. "Do you think they fooled me, brother?"

Carlisle and Garrett tugged Christina backward. The mother was quick to push Greyson towards the other witnesses on their side. Jacob snapped his teeth loudly towards Caius, making him sneer darkly.

Christina stopped next to Seth once again. Annie poked out from underneath Seth with tears in her eyes. She reached out and grabbed Christina's hand tightly — though, the mother did not feel it. Christina gently rubbed her thumb over Annie's fingers, trying to comfort the child as best she could.

"Bring the informer forward," Caius called out to the crowd.

Christina bit her granite lip as she watched two of the guards bring Irina forward. Her arms were trapped behind her back until she was placed in front of Caius. She was dropped onto her knees, and she looked defeated. She frowned towards her sisters that were on the opposite side before her attention was once again taken away by the blond vampire.

"Are those the children you saw?" Caius asked, pointing towards the family.

Irina's frown deepened as she looked at Nessie, and then Greyson. "I'm not sure."

"Jane."

"They've changed," Irina said quickly, not wanting to feel Jane's power used against her. "These children are bigger."

"Then your allegations were false," Caius stated with a snarl.

Irina nodded her head. "The Cullens are innocent. I take full responsibility for my mistake." She looked towards the opposite side of the field towards her sisters with a sad smile. "I'm sorry."

Christina gasped at the same time Edward stepped forward, "Caius, no!"

Felix, one of the bodyguards that brought Irina forward, reached out and snapped Irina's head off. Christina was quick to turn both of her children away from the scene as all Hell broke loose.

"Irina!" Tanya cried out.

Caius was quick to set fire to Irina's body. Both of the Denali sisters screamed in rage. They both started running forward to avenge their sister but were quickly wrestled back. Garrett wrapped his arms around Kate, enduring the pain of her electrocution. Tanya was held back by Emmett, who was quick on his feet to reach her.
