Chapter 2

Bella's POV

I still couldn't believe that those assholes came here, to my home and had the guts to talk to me! What I wouldn't give to rip their heads off. Sure I'd let Emmett put himself back together but I'd burn Edwards head and let his body stumble about the place for a while. I threw myself down onto the couch and put my head in my hands. A quite knock came from the door.

"What?" I really couldn't be doing with visitors right now.

"It's just me and Alec! Can we come in?" Jane was always trying comfort people even though she could be an evil little bitch.

"Yea, come in" The door opened and Jane flew in followed by Alec, who looked kind of sick.

"So, I heard all about what you did to those Cullen's and I got to say, Right On!!!" I smirked; I could always count on Jane to praise my temper.

"Hey Bells, I swear if it were up to me I would have never let them in but I had to follow Aro's commands" I nodded and Alec relaxed and turned a healthy shade of white.

"So what you guys been up to while I was beating the crap out of Edward and Emmett?" Jane giggled and Alec grinned.

"Oh nothing much, I was playing 'electric fence' with Felix and guess what? I won!!" I laughed. 'Electric Fence' was Jane's favourite game; probably because she was the electric fence. Her ability was to cause immense pain inside a person's body. Aro had once said it was like being electrocuted by an electric fence. I turned to Alec.

"Oh nothing much, just praying to god that you wouldn't kill us all" I laughed again.

"So, when was the last time you used your gift Bella?" Shit. I knew this was coming!

"Jane, you know fine well it's forbidden inside the fort" Jane pouted. I rolled my eyes; her 'baby face' won everyone over except me. I wasn't allowed to use my gift inside the fort because it was extremely dangerous. I was a bomb. I could blow up and the reform which was extremely painful but got easier each time. I only blew up when I lost complete control of my temper.

"Awwww, Bella please....It's so cool to watch!" I sighed.

"Fine but out in the forest ok?" Jane nodded eagerly and ran for the window, which she jumped out of without a second's hesitation. Alec followed her, jumping the exact same height and landing two feet away from her. I ran for the window as well, jumping as far as I could, landing a few feet in front of Jane and Alec. Together we ran farther and farther into the forest until finally I found a remote clearing. I nodded to Jane and Alec and they ran to hide behind some trees. I closed my eyes and focused on the one thing that annoyed me the most, Edward.

"I love you Bella"

I could fell my fury bubbling up towards my throat.

"I'll always be with you"

I couldn't stop the snarl that erupted from my throat. He had been a complete liar! That stupid scum bag! He made promises that he didn't bother to keep! My whole body felt like it was pulsing. One more memory and I would lose it completely.

"I'll never let anything happen to you, I swear"

Everything went black. I had no sight, smell, hearing, taste or touch. It was like Alec had used his gift on me. Then the expected pain came. It tore at my insides ripping them to shreds. It was like being changed all over again. This was the gift that killed Victoria. This was the gift that killed hundreds of other vampires who had messed with my temper. This was the gift that would kill Edward if he was careful.

The pain soon subsided and my sense's came back. I inhaled and smiled. I loved blowing myself up (not many people can say that!) I loved the exhilarating sensation in the pit of my stomach when I blew up. I looked around for Alec and Jane, who I found easily because of Jane's giggling.

"Happy?" I didn't care if she was or not. I was so happy I could sing! Alec was grinning and Jane was beaming.

"That was amazing Bells! That was the biggest one so far!!" Jane was clearly thrilled.

"Excellent!!" I grinned as well. I linked arms with Jane and Jane held Alec's hand and together we shot off back to the fort. That's when I caught the scent of a Cullen. Mother fuckers! I ran to the guest hall and ran in. Jane and Alec shrank back into the shadows. I searched the room for whoever I was gonna beat up and standing in the middle of the room was the one Cullen I refused to hurt.

"Esme? What are you doing here?" Esme turned round to face me, a huge smile spreading across her face. How could I hurt a face like that?

"Actually I came to see you dear" I swallowed against the snarl that was threatening to come. As much as I liked Esme she had no right calling me 'dear'.

"Oh...What's it concerning?" Esme's smile widened

"Why...you of course!" I nodded. Why the hell did Esme want to talk to me?

"Why don't we go up to my bedroom?" Esme beamed and gestured for me to lead the way. I bowed to Aro and left the room running at top speed towards my room. Once inside I gestured for Esme to sit on the black sofa. She sat down and patted the empty space beside her. I sat down warily. As soon as I was sitting Esme wrapped her arms around me and pulled me into a hug. I wanted to push her away but I was hugging her back before I could stop myself.

"Oh Bella honey, your so beautiful! Of course you've always been beautiful but now I can see your features more clearly" I smiled. I loved getting compliments.

"Thank you Esme, You look lovely yourself" Esme chuckled.

"So what happened...after...after we left" I gulped and felt my eyes widen.

"Erm, well..." Esme placed her hand on my shoulder.

"Bella, honey, you can tell me you know. But if you don't want to that's perfectly alright" I swallowed and took a deep breath.

"Well...er...I didn't leave my bedroom for weeks. I didn't eat, sleep or drink for about a week. After that I tried to stay normal for Charlie. I went out, I did my homework, and I never broke the curfew. I soon started going down to La Push. I became best friends with Jacob Black" Esme stiffened and I knew why "I found out he was a werewolf but that didn't change anything. He will always be my best friend. Anyway, we found out that Victoria was trying to get to me so the pack tried protecting me. One night she came to my house while I was sleeping and took me out into the forest and she bit me. As soon as I was changed I killed Victoria with my gift. I then came here, to the Volturi, and Aro took me in. He now loves me as if I was his daughter and I feel the same way about him. I am now known as the assassin of Volterra" Esme looked confused "Any questions?" Esme nodded.

"You say you killed Victoria with your gift, what exactly is your gift?"

"I'm a bomb, when I lose control of my temper I blow up, killing everything around me. I then regenerate, but it's incredibly painful. I'm also stronger than the average vampire, stronger than Emmett even" Esme looked shocked.

"You're a...bomb? Wow...you changed a lot didn't you?" Esme chuckled. "Oh Bella we've all missed you so much!"

"Erm...Esme, Why are you really here? I mean you didn't come to the Volturi just to find out about what I've been up to did you?" Esme frowned then shook her head. "Well what is it?"

"I don't mean to intrude, but..." Esme swallowed and looked around herself as though looking for any means of escape. She took a deep breath and continued "Bella, do u still love Edward?"

I was taken aback. Of coarse I didn't love Edward!!! He hurt me more than anything in the world could!! He destroyed my life!! He put me into a walking coma!! He killed me!!! He made me a monster just like him! And yet I was stupid enough to still love him somehow!! NO!! I didn't love him...I hated him. I could rip his head off and shit down his neck...well no I couldn't but that's not the point. How could Esme really come in here after all those things he said to me and ask me if I still loved him?

"I don't think that's any of your business and anyway I've got a boyfriend so I wouldn't get back with Edward anyway" Esme looked at me, bewildered. I honestly didn't give a rat's ass what she thought. "Sorry Esme but I'm quite busy at the moment, I'll talk to you some other time" I stood up and walked over to the door, opened it wide, and stood aside to let her pass. She turned round and mumbled

"I'm so sorry for leaving you Bella. You'll always be my daughter" And with that she left. Anger bubbled up inside me. I was not her daughter! Mother's don't abandon there daughters!!! Esme would have never abandoned Alice or Rosalie but it was perfectly acceptable for her to leave me?! If that was motherhood to her then she should be shot!!! I slammed the door and stormed towards my dressing room. I threw the doors open and stomped inside. I heard a small tap at my door and I growled. What now?!

"Come In!!" I heard the door open and close. A deep voice came from the doorway.

"Hey babe" I smiled and looked up. A huge bulky figure was standing in the doorway. My huge bulky boyfriend.

"Hey Felix, What's up?" Felix had been my boyfriend on and off in Volterra and even when we weren't together he always called me 'babe'.

"Does something have to be wrong for me to visit my gorgeous girl?" I grinned. I could always count on Felix to make me feel better. Felix walked towards me and wrapped his arms around my waist. His huge body was so like Emmett's only he was much more handsome. "So I heard you gave that big Cullen a run for his money" I giggled.

"Yea, he just about shit himself" Felix chuckled.

"That's my girl" He leaned down and kissed my forehead. I smiled again. Felix had made life as a vampire a million times easier. He knew that I was broken but he loved me the way I was and I would always love him for that. "So are you ok with the Cullen's being so close to Volterra?"

"I don't think I have any choice do I?" Felix frowned then grinned.

"I know a way to make you feel better" I grinned. I was hoisted into the air and was zooming towards my bed.

Esme's POV

Bella had a...boyfriend?! Edward wasn't going to be happy about this. I would tell the family first before I told him. I zoomed through the house silently gathering everyone except Edward. Luckily Edward was away hunting, the first time in weeks. Once everyone was gathered in the living room I spoke.

"I went to see Bella, like you all know, and she has changed. Emmett she's more powerful than what you found out. She's a bomb; she blows up when she loses control of her temper then regenerates back to her human form" I looked at all my children's face's which were a mixture of shock and horror. "That's not the worst part though...she's found love again. She no longer loves Edward"

***

Emmett's POV

Shit...shit, shit, shity, shit, shit. This was so not going to end well. Edward is gonna kill us all!! I mean Edward loves Bella. And she runs off with the next guy she see's. What the hell got into her? I was so gonna ask Edward what he said to her when we left. I mean she hates every one of us!!! What the hell did we do to her?!

I heard the front door open and close. I stomped through to the hall and grabbed Edward by the throat, just like Bella had done to me, and rammed him against the wall.

"What the hell did you say to Bella before we left?" Edward glared at me.

"That's none of your business" I was seeing red. Crap, I was turning into Bella!

"The hell it isn't! She hates every one of us! Now what the hell did you say to her?" Edward looked to at his feet, quite an achievement considering his head was shoved into the wall.

"I...told..." I shook him "I said I didn't love her anymore" I dropped him in shock. How in the hell of it, could he say that. Edward tried to crawl away but I grabbed him and shoved him against the wall again.

"What else? Tell me what else you said or I will rip you pathetic head off" Edward searched our family's faces for some kind of help; Everyone was growling at him.

"I told her... that I didn't love her anymore. That she was just a mere distraction...a weak human" I heard Alice sobbing but I couldn't stop the rage that was coming. I grabbed the front of Edward's shirt at threw him across the room. I ran over, grabbed the front of his shirt again and dragged him toward the front door. I threw it open and dragged Edward out to the front garden.

"You don't come back here until you apologise to Bella! Understand?!" Edward nodded and flitted off into the surrounding trees. I stormed back into the house, slamming the door shut as I went. That bastard better not show his pathetic face here until he sorted things out with Bella.

***

Rosalie's POV

I can't believe that dickhead told Bella that she was a weak human!!!! That idiot, I would have killed him if I knew. I would have stayed with Bella. Ugh!! I was so stupid being mean to Bella. She hadn't done anything wrong!!! Well at least Emmett took care of the pathetic loser. If it were me he would be a pile of ash by now.

***

Alice's POV

I knew this was coming, sure I didn't have a vision or anything, but I still knew he'd hurt Bella badly. Idiot. He destroyed my best friend!! Why hadn't I gone to see her? I'd go tonight. Yes, I'd see Bella again. I missed her so much...

I suddenly had a vision.

"Bella I never stopped loving you, I swear" Edward was kneeling on the ground in a large white room. Bella was standing in front of a big guy who was swinging his fists in Edward's direction.

"Babe, calm down!" Edward looked at Bella in horror. Bella frowned at him. "What's your problem Edward?"

"You...you moved on?" Bella was getting more and more confused.

"Yes...you told me I was a mere distraction. Did you really expect me to love you after that?" Edward turned ghostly white. The big guy growled and tried diving for Edward again. "Felix!! Calm down man! Your gonna end up hurting yourself!!" Felix snorted then looked directly at Bella.

"Bella he called you a distraction, he called you weak!!! Sure you were a human but you were the most gorgeous human out!! I mean was this dickhead on crazy pills or something?" Bella grinned then turned back to Edward. She held out her hand and pulled him off the ground.

"I'm sorry Edward but I love Felix now. I just don't think I could forgive you for leaving me the way you did" Edward opened his mouth but Bella stopped him "I think you'd better go" Edward frowned and turned towards the door. Just before he left he turned around and spoke directly to Bella.

"I'm happy for you. You deserve someone decent. This guy seems good enough for you. I never stopped loving you Bella, no matter what I said" And with that he was gone.

Poor Edward...he didn't deserve any of this. Well...maybe he did but he should be going through all this heartache. There was a good thing to my vision though, Bella was still alive, and she still had a heart.

***

"Bella you have a...visitor!" Aro called from somewhere in the castle. It sounded like his study. I reluctantly got up and threw on some clothes, dragging Felix with me. Once we were both decent, we set off to look for Aro. We eventually found him in the feeding chamber. I sighed at who was standing in front of him...Edward. I knew he was too stubborn to stay away. I walked to stand beside Aro, Felix stood behind me; probably trying to stop himself from attacking Edward.

"Hello Edward" I said as pleasantly as I could. It was surprisingly easy staying calm. Edward's eyebrows shot up at the pleasantry in my voice.

"Er...hi" Edward turned to Aro, who nodded and left the room. He then turned to Felix. "Can I talk to Bella privately?" Felix snorted.

"Not a chance Cullen" Felix's voice was dripping with venom. Edward frowned then shrugged.

"Bella, do you still love me? After everything I did to you is it still possible?" I was stunned. I couldn't remember how to talk. Was he really asking me if I still loved him? Was he joking? Of coarse I didn't love him!! I loved Felix! But I did love him, deep, deep, deep down, I still loved him. I heard Felix growl. I had to talk, anything would do just talk.

"Excuse me?" Great! Excellent! Felix would probably ditch me now; I was...seventy three percent sure. I was gobsmacked when Edward got down on his knees.

"Bella I never stopped loving you, I swear" Felix made a move towards Edward; swinging his fists in his direction. I turned round to face Felix, placing my hands on his chest, pushing back.

"Babe, calm down!" I turned back to Edward who was looking at me like I'd turned into a ghost or something. What the hell was his problem? Without realising I spoke aloud "What's your problem Edward?"

"You...you moved on?" Well duhhh. Did he really expect me to grow old, hypothetically, alone? Did he want me to suffer?

"Yes...you told me I was a mere distraction. Did you really expect me to love you after that?" Edward turned paler. Was there something he wasn't telling me? Was he Ill or something? Felix growled behind me and tried shoving past me. I shoved him back again. "Felix!! Calm down man! You're gonna end up hurting yourself!!"Felix snorted. God, he loved himself!! He then faced me.

"Bella he called you a distraction, he called you weak!!! Sure you were a human but you were the most gorgeous human out!! I mean was this dickhead on crazy pills or something?"I smiled. Felix was so protective it was almost unreal. I turned back to Edward and held out my hand. Sure I hated him for hurting me but I still couldn't help being nice. My inner Bella was resurfacing with every minute the Cullen's were here, in Italy. Edward took my hand and I hauled him off the ground.

"I'm sorry Edward but I love Felix now. I just don't think I could forgive you for leaving me the way you did" Edward opened his mouth but I cut him off "I think you'd better go" Edward frowned and turned towards the door. Just before he reached it, however, he turned to face me.

"I'm happy for you. You deserve someone decent. This guy seems good enough for you. I never stopped loving you Bella, no matter what I said" I wanted to believe him, I really did but I couldn't not after what he did to me.
