A New Life
Niall with the Volturi.
Niall began training his newfound powers to turn into black smoke whenever he runs very fast and can also block out other’s senses and gifts with his smoke and two months later since being a guard to the Volturi, Aro sends him and May along with a few guards to Forks, Washington to Renesmee Cullen and assassinate the Cullens and Jacob Black. Niall protects the guards with his smoke to hide their scent and avoid being detected with his smoke from the Cullen’s gifts while May made them invisible as the two sat back and watch the guards attack the Cullens discreetly. However, Lucas Stone, the Cullen's newest family member, saw the guards' aura despite being invisible and warned the Cullens thus avoid being killed as well as catching May and Niall where Emmett Cullen knocked them out.

When Lucas threatened to shoot an aura sphere at Niall’s face, he panicked and confessed much to May’s annoyance and disappointment.
