Ch 2

Natasha snorted. Bella hummed in agreement. The only one who didn't agree was Edward.

"I thought you were on my side, Carlisle." He hissed out.

"Only when you aren't trying to kill yourself. Did you think about the bloody pain Esme would have been in?" Carlisle asked. Edward looked down ashamedly but then looked back up at Bella.

"My love, I'm sorry for ever leaving you alone. But now that we're reunited, you can come back to Forks with me. We can live together." He had taken a few steps towards her but Bella moved back.

"You fool! I never wanted to be with you! Leave me alone!" she cried out. He either didn't hear her or chose not to. He kept moving towards her until both Demetri and Natasha blocked his.

"I believe the lady said she wishes for you to go away." Demetri growled out. Ed ward was about to push past them when he was held in his place by Natasha.

"Idiot! Listen to what your so called mate has to say. If you even think about hurting her right now, I will definitely hurt you." Natasha hissed out. She read his mind quickly and was disgusted to see what Edward had wanted to do to Bella. She slapped him. She then turned towards Jane.

"Jane, my dear, it seems as though your powers will have to come out to play right now." Natasha purred out. Jane smiled sweetly as she turned her gaze full of hatred towards the pile of limbs known as 'Edward'. His screams rang out through the hall as Natasha smiled.

"You see, you just wanted to use Bella as a plaything. Whatever your desires were, I guess we have to turn the tables now and make you see the error of your ways, no? Anyone who doesn't agree is allowed to leave." Natasha sang. Everyone stayed rooted in their spot. She smiled happily and clapped her hands in glee. Everyone slowly moved away as they realized this was no longer Natasha, but the Angel of Death. The vampire legend was that the Angel of Death was related to the queen of the Cold Ones. The queen or princess, it differed from each story. It was said she would only appear in times when the delusional vampire tried hurting the queen who was yet unknown to others. Sadly, only the most ancient of vampires knew this legend and all of them were in this room. Alec, Jane, Demetri, Felix, the kings and Carlisle knew of it. They saw her true form and gasped. The eight of them knew the importance of Bella and Natasha and made silent vows to protect them. Alec was still rooted in his spot next to Natasha and couldn't move away. His brain screamed at him to do so yet his instinct told him that staying where he was would be worth it. Natasha returned to his side and two black shadowy wings protruded from her back. Demetri stood next to Bella, protecting her and the rest of the Cullen family.

"You know, there is a rule in this universe. The rule is that you should never hurt someone just for your own sadistic purpose. It's one of the oldest rules known to mankind. And no, the Volturi don't kill for fun. They kill to survive so don't go spouting bullshit about how they should be going down as well. I really hate to say this but I believe killing you won't be the right thing to do. We should make you suffer the same way you made your victims in the past suffer." She said. The Cullen family looked upon, shocked to hear this. They hadn't known he could've done something like this. Natasha turned toward Alec and he tried not to show any emotion.

"Alec, would you mind using your talents to keep this pathetic being in place? I believe it's time that we show his true side to the rest of the family." She purred out. He smirked at her and nodded. Slowly, a black mist engulfed Edward as he slumped to the floors. Natasha flicked her wrist and a projection of his thoughts opened up. All of his crimes and thoughts were on screen for display. She felt many emotions yet the main ones were disgust and anger. Once that was done, it took everything Natasha had not to kill him then and there. She turned towards the rest of the audience as she slowly paced around him.

"We have seen his crimes yet death would only be a present to him. To truly make him suffer, we will have to unfortunately keep him alive. Any ideas?" She asked. There was a deathly silence until Bella slowly raised her hand. Natasha nodded towards her.

"We could keep him in the dungeon under watch. And we could rip off his limbs and place them in jars to make sure he doesn't escape?" She said yet the last sentence seemed more like a question.

"Of course! That would be a wonderful idea. Kings, make your decision." She said. They each in turn nodded. She clapped her hands and there was a tearing sound. She waved away Alec's mist and there, in the middle lay what used to be of Edward Cullen. Each of his limbs was separated and put in different jars of different sizes. They were floating in air. She walked out of the room with the jars in tow. Everyone slowly relaxed and Aro wearily turned to face the Cullens.

"You all are welcome to stay here. You as well, Isabella. It seems as though Natasha will be staying as well." He said. The last sentence had a twinge of fear in it. Natasha soon walked in as herself instead of the 'Angel of Death'. She then turned to face Alec.

"Well I was wrong. She did have a role today." She said as she walked past him. He chuckled lowly as he went back to his sister, who hit him across his head as soon as he reached.

"You do realize that she could have killed you if you made one wrong move?" she asked. He nodded and looked away just in time to see the Cullens as well as Natasha walk out with the kings.

"Yes but it felt right." He said. She shrugged and left to go talk with her mate, Felix. He walked out of the room and was cornered by Marcus. He was about to bow but was stopped when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"You do know who she is, don't you?" Marcus asked. Alec slowly nodded, unsure where this was going. "Then surely you know how the legend goes. Unfortunately, I believe you don't know the full legend. I should probably tell it to you. Meet me in my office in 10 minutes and bring Natasha with you. It's important that the both of you know it." He said and glided away. Alec blinked before walking away to find Natasha. He found her talking with Jane. He raised an eyebrow at it. Jane seemed to be openly enjoying herself which was a rare sight to see. He smiled to himself before walking towards them. Jane handed Natasha a note and Natasha blushed and looked away. She saw Alec and her blush increased. Jane lightly laughed while Natasha hit her arm playfully. Jane smirked and walked away.

"Good Luck, brother." Jane said as she walked past him. Alec raised an eyebrow at Natasha as she didn't meet his gaze.

"Is it something I should know about?" He asked her. She shook her head in denial.

"Marcus wants to talk to us. Shall we go?" He asked as he held out his arm. She gladly accepted it and they walked to the Kings' office.

-In another part of the castle-

The girls of the group were teasing Bella about her little crush on Demetri. Bella was blushing all sorts of red. Fortunately, Demetri couldn't hear them as he had gone out to do some work. The boys slowly raised their eyebrows at this.

"Bella's wedding dress looks so pretty! Oooh, Rosalie looks so good in her dress. When does she not, though?" Alice was saying. Bella was hiding her face in the pillow.

"You're radiating love. We don't need an empath to know about your crush, Bella." Esme said. She thought it was cute but inside she was seething. 'Demetri better make a quick move. If he doesn't I will make sure they still get together.' She thought. Why was she seething? Well, she had a hidden talent that only 2 people knew about, Carlisle and Aro. She could predict what would happen no matter what, unlike Alice whose visions depended on decisions being made. She knew they would get together yet the sad fact was that the later it happened, the higher the chances Edward would get out and that that would be what eventually made them realize their feelings for each other were mutual. She thought of Bella and the other two as her own daughters which is why she was so protective of them. Once a mother, always a mother; in her opinion at least. Demetri entered the room and all eyes were on him. He saw Bella blushing and grinned at how cute she was. He then shook his head.

"Aro wishes to speak with all of you." He said.
