Bella POV...

"Edward, have you seen my keys?" I called through the house.

Charlie is at work and I am headed to the grocery store. Edward is waiting downstairs for me. He says that he doesn't want to leave me alone because Victoria has been appearing lately. So when he didn't answer me I was confused and worried. I walked down to the kitchen and saw Edward laying on the floor curled around himself. I rushed over and fell to his side. He rolled over and looked at me with lots of pain in his eyes. His bottom lip was trembling and his jaw was clenched shut.

"Edward, what's wrong?" I asked. I had tears well up in my eyes because of his pain.

"Run Bella run." He said with his jaw clenched. His voice was filled with pain and worry.

"No, I'm not leaving you." I said firmly. I had a tear roll down my cheek.

"Isabella, my dear, the concern you have for Edward still baffles me." A shrill and calm voice said from behind me. I whipped around and saw 5 cloaks. I instantly recognized the voice and the cloaks.

"Aro." I said angrily. I moved my body to couch around Edward. There may be 5 of them but they aren't going to hurt him. Edward still had his jaw clenched. I placed my hand on his cheek and tried to comfort myself by comforting him.

"Now Bella, no need to be angry. We came for a check up." Aro said as if it was the simplest thing ever. Edward tensed up behind me. I knew what Aro meant and I didn't like it.

"How can I not be angry at you? You come into my house and torture Edward. He stays silent as to not make me worry but I am still worried and extremely angry. I won't let anything or anyone hurt my mate." I growled. Aro seemed a little shocked. I felt a strong, cold arm snake around my waist. I looked down to Edward and he was looking at me. His eyes begged me to stop, but something changed in them. They glazed over, like Alice's do when she gets a vision. I instantly knew my pixie sister was nearby.

Edward snapped back to me and he clenched his jaw even tighter and squeezed his eyes shut. I looked up and glared at Jane, the cause of the problem. She glared right back at me. Edward's arm around my waist got a little tighter.

"Hmm" Aro hummed. "I am sorry about her Bella. She doesn't like that she can't get you. And she knows she can hurt you by hurting Edward." Aro said. Suddenly I felt someone standing behind me. I risked a quick glance back and saw Carlisle hovering over Edward, Esme, Rose, Emmett and Alice all crouched down, Jasper was next to Carlisle and he looked pained. I stayed crouched around Edward.

"Ahh, my old friend! I was hoping we would get to see you. It's so nice to see you Carlisle." Aro said. Carlisle stood up and walked in front of Edward and I.

"Aro, leave my son alone." Carlisle said. I could tell he was having a hard time staying calm.

"That's not my choice." Aro said simply. "Jane wants revenge and Edward's the middle man." He finished simply.

"Why the hell would Jane need revenge?" Emmett growled.

"Jane's powers don't work on Bella, so she hurts Edward to hurt Bella." Aro said like it was the most obvious thing ever. I was getting aggravated with all of this useless talk and conversation. I screamed, outraged and I stood up and in front of Carlisle. I glared at the 5 vampires in front of me and my hands clenched into fists. I turned slightly and looked at the family.

"Rose, Esme, Jasper, Carlisle get Edward out of here." I growled quietly. They moved around a little.

"NOO!" Edward yelled. They stopped moving and looked at me.

"Just do it and don't let him come back in here. Take him to your house if you have to." I said. They managed to drag Edward out the back door. I heard him growling and screaming at his family. Emmett and Alice moved up next to me.

"Why Bella, that was a risky move. There are 5 of us and only 3 of you. And, Bella you are easily taken down." Aro said. Jane glared furiously at me.

"Oh, Aro there are so many things you don't know about this world still." I said sweetly and innocently. I could tell everyone was confused.

"Bella, I have been on this earth longer than you have. I know about more than you could imagine." Aro said. He seemed to be slightly annoyed that I had the courage to say that to him.

"Well, it's obviously not long enough." I said.

"What are you talking about?" Aro growled at me. He and his whole group stepped a little closer.

"Now, now, Aro. I suggest we take this outside, Charlie will be home soon." I said. I turned and walked out the back door. Alice and Emmett walked with me but didn't turn their back on Aro. I walked us deep into the forest to a small clearing I found once. I could feel everyone following me. Once we got to the clearing I walked to the far edge and turned to face Aro who was on the other edge.

"Let's get this over with. Demetri, Felix, Jane." Aro said. The three stalked toward us. Alice and Emmett took defense positions in front of me. I walked in between them and held a defense position in front of them. I let my instincts take over and my body faded away.


There we go... I'll post the other 11 chapters tonight and possibly a new one... :)
