After the whole fiasco with the Cullens, Simon kept an close eye on them mostly because he was worried about Jasper and Alice. He got to know that it was decided that Bella would be turned into a vampire soon after she married Edward.
The days passed peacefully until Simon got to know of Alice's vision. The Cullen's were going to be attacked on by a newborn army After investigating a bit he got to know that apparently the Cullen's had been with Bella in the forest when a nomadic coven arrived. One of them was after Bella's blood since he felt it would be a good sport hence he cornered her and bit her. The Cullens were able to save her in time and kill the vampire.
The other vampire had joined the Denali coven only to come back to drink Bella's blood after the Cullen's had left her but was killed by shape shifters protecting Forks.
The third vampire who had been the mate of the first vampire went crazy with her desire for revenge and started to create a newborn army just like the ones created in South. She was adamant on getting her revenge on Bella as she believed that it was her fault that her mate was killed.
Simon was really starting to get annoyed at the human Bella. He even thought that her gift dulled her sense of fear which caused her become the cause of unwanted situations.
Simon took off and gave the information that a newborn army was being made near Seattle to Aro.
Aro gave his usual smile, "so?"
Simon was surprised he had not expected such an answer.
"Thee have been many cases where newborn armies have been made, which I believe you know well," referring to his time in the South. "The Volturi didn't take any action until it escalated too far that it broke the balance. It will be the same here."
Simon nodded his head gritting his teeth and got ready to leave.
"Decide where your loyalty lies before doing anything."
Simon didn't turn back he knew that Aro was starting to get paranoid of him which would not benefit him in any way. He had to stop doing useless things.
Simon decided he would stay far away from the matter and continue to live his peaceful life, he convinced himself that the Cullen's or at least Jasper would not be so helpless that he won't be able to even save himself and Alice.
Simon spent a few days with this problem at the back of his mind, until he received a call of help from Jasper.
Simon refused saying that his hands are tied and the best option for them would be to convert Bella into a vampire to increase her chances of survival and get another fighter at the same time.
Jasper nods half understanding and half disappointed, making it clear that even he thought of this but the matter of turning Bella was not in his hands.
As the awkward silence continued and Jasper got ready to bid his farewell.
Simon grits his teeth and curses himself. He then tells Jasper a list of people, "they are nomadic vampires who owe me a favour. Tell them I sent you, a few of them will at least help you."
Jasper smiles and thanks Simon before saying goodbye.
Simon was later informed that the Cullen's not only got help from some of the the vampires he had suggested but also made an alliance with a shape shifters tribe which greatly increased their chances of surviving.
Simon was called to the chambers along with Jane and a few other guards.
"A newborn army is being formed, they are unruly hence attracting too much unwanted attention. Find their leader Victoria and warn her she has five days to complete what she wants."
All the guards present there start to get ready for departure but Aro stops Simon.
"Have you made your decision?"
"Yes, that was the last time. From now on, they are on their own."
Aro nodded but put forward his hand. Simon knew what he had to do, he held Aro's hand and allowed him to read his mind. After a while, Aro nodded, "it looks like you have come to your senses."
