Carlisle POV

The moment I heard the sound of breaking glass and Alice screaming Bella's name I knew what was going to happen. Picking up my phone I called the one number that I hoped I wouldn't ever have to actually use again.

The other end only rang once before he picked it up with a sound of glee in his voice

"Hello Carlisle my old friend to what do I owe this pleasure? The last time we spoke you swore you would never contact me again."

I sighed before pinching the bridge of my nose trying to stop the images of my first companion being torn to pieces by a very pissed off Marcus, as Bella lay in a hospital bed recovering from her wounds. To this day Bella, still had no idea that Edward was in no shape to hurt her again. I was sworn to secrecy about his current situation by the very man I was currently talking to.

Instead of taking his bait I uttered the two words that I hoped never to leave my lips causing my already dead cold heart to break that bit more

"It's time"

With those words said I threw my phone across the room, missing a very worried looking Esme as she stuck her head around the door. Our relationship over the past year had become strained, ever since I found out it was her that phoned Aro up after the accident. I couldn't stop the snarl that left my mouth as she made her way further into the room.

The only sign that my anger got to her was the mild growl she answered with before she snapped

"I am not going to apologise for what I did. Not now, not ever. Edward had what was coming to him from the very moment he decided to play with her heart and soul. You knew that she never belonged to him, and yet you let him play his little games like you always did. The only reason the rest of us aren't currently hanging next to him in those god forsaken dungeons is because I called him."

I knew she was right but the monster inside of me wanted to hurt her for what she had done. Before I could so much as blink I found myself struggling to get loose of the grip Jasper had around my neck as Emmett, stood there shaking his head at me. I noticed that Esme was no longer in the room but the sound of more glass breaking told me the extent of her anger with my reactions as she slammed one of the doors closed.

It was Jasper that finally broke the silence in the room

"Esme is right. Our job was to come here and make sure that Bella remained safe until her 20th birthday. A fact that Edward and you seemed to have forgotten. Now thanks to the pair of you Bella, is not only going to be scarred for the rest of her life but is now so worried that she'll be hurt again that she wants to be changed now. Let's just hope that when she arrives Aro can at least talk her out of it at least for another year or Edward isn't going to be the only one seeing how much Marcus enjoys torturing people."

I tried to nod my head but the grip Jasper, had on my neck increased until I managed to get out a weak

"Yes Major"

He dropped me to the floor with a snarl before Emmett and he left me once again alone in my study. I knew I should have killed her when I had the chance.

B POV

"Rose, I need you to take me to Italy. I am tired of being scared for my life every time you guys leave the house. I knew Jasper and you keep telling me that Edward can't hurt me but my subconscious tells me otherwise. Look at me Rose; do I even look like the girl who came into your lives over a year ago?"

I stood there with my arms opened wide as Rose sighed as she gave me the once over. Since the accident I had lost that much weight I made Alice, look like she was fat standing next to me and that was saying something. I had bags under my eyes, and it had gotten to the point with my hair that even Alice in all her wonder couldn't do anything with it.

The only thing keeping me alive was this unspoken force and whatever was in the injections that Esme gave me twice a day and even then Carlisle still wouldn't change me.

Just as Rose, was about to answer my question her phone rang causing both of us to jump a little. Hold out her finger to tell me to wait she flipped her phone open without even bothering to see who was calling her. Which after living with them for the past four months after Charlie's marriage to Sue Clearwater, I wasn't at all surprised about. One of their phones was always going off.

After ten minutes of what to me sounded like a one sided conversation she flipped her phone closed and ran her fingers through her hair with a worried look on her face.

"Well it seems that you get your wish Bella. That was Aro, he is sending one of their private planes to come and get you. We have twelve hours to get you packed and ready to go. Come on."

I had no idea how long I stood there letting the words roll around in my head before I felt a wave of calm come over me just as Jasper, put his finger under my chin to close my mouth.

"If you're not careful their Bells, you might accidently land up catching a fly."

I closed my mouth before blinking up at him, still in shock. What in hell would Aro be doing calling Rose up like he did. I wasn't even aware that the Volturi knew I even existed.

"I know you have a lot of questions darlin', and they will be answered for you eventually but for now I suggest you go with Esme and get ready for your trip."

I nodded my head and let Esme, who had appeared out of nowhere take me up to my room.

Even with Esme's and Alice's help we just managed to get everything that needed to be done before the sound of a car arriving filled the air. With a small smile in my direction Esme took my hand and led me back down the stairs. Making sure I didn't have one of my stellar moments in front of whomever was picking me up I kept my head down. By the time we had reached the bottom Jasper had let in our guests.

Looking up I couldn't stop myself from letting out a small scream of surprise as I came face to face with none other than Aro Volturi. I let my mind quickly flash back to the painting that use to hang in Carlisle's office and the conversation I had with Edward about the vampire leaders, yet as I stood in front of one of them I couldn't help but wonder how much of what he said was the truth and how much was his own self hate.

After giving me the once over he turned and glared at Carlisle who up to this moment I hadn't even realised had arrived. A part of me was glad that I couldn't hear what was being said between the ruler of the vampire world and Carlisle, though from the sounds coming from Aro I guess he wasn't exactly happy by what he saw. Before I could even blink there was a Carlisle shaped hole in wall connecting to the garage and Aro was standing over him yelling in what I could only guess was Italian.

A small giggle brought me back to the room, and it was only then I noticed Aro hadn't come alone but had brought two others with him. I couldn't stop myself from moving to stand behind Jasper as my eyes landed on one the biggest men I had ever seen in my life, he was even bigger than Emmett and that was saying something.

As yet another giggle filled the air my eyes worked their way over to a young girl, maybe no more the fourteen who was grinning at me like the Cheshire cat out of Alice in Wonderland. I don't know what had me more scared, her, the big guy, or Aro who had chosen that moment to step through the hole dusting all the plaster of his coat, though if I was forced to choose one this exact moment I would have to say her.

I couldn't stop myself from jumping and pushing myself closer into Jasper's back as Aro started to talk in broken English. Something told me he rarely actually spoke anything that was Italian.

"I do apologise for that Esme. I'll repay you for the damages I have caused to your lovely house."

Esme gave him a small smile before pulling my out from behind Jasper causing the girl to giggle again. She was really starting to freak me out. I wondered if vampires could go mental at all.

"It's fine Aro; you'll be amazed how often this place gets ripped apart for one reason or another."

For once it was me that started to giggle at her comment as the last time a wall had to be replaced it was because Rose and Emmett got a bit carried away and ended up crashing into my bedroom, where they didn't even bother to stop what they were doing, giving me a very interesting introduction to vampire mating habits.

My giggle caused me to suddenly become the centre of attention in the room. I tried to pull out of Esme's hold so I could hide behind Jasper again as I could feel my face heating up due to embarrassment some that hasn't happened in a very long time.

"Piccolo, you have nothing to be embarrassed about. Why don't we all sit down and introductions can be made."

Aro held out his hand for me to take, and with a slight nod from Esme I took it. I didn't want to shame my family any more than I have. Why else would Aro have attacked his close friend for?

J POV

I shook my head as I felt Bella's worry mixed with her usual feelings of guilt and self hatred wash over me. Ever since her last birthday the girl I had come to see as my sister, had changed to a shell of her former self. She now felt guilty about us being seen with her, once letting it slip by accident that she was nothing but a freak and that she had no right to be seen with us in public.

It took every ounce of my strength not to show her exactly what I thought of that. If it wasn't for the fact Marcus, was her mate and would kill me for it I would have stripped her down there and then and had my way with her. Fuck the fact it was in the middle of the school cafeteria. I always did have a thing for scars and add her submissive nature I found myself all most envious of Marcus.

I had spent the first part of my life fighting, feeding and fucking everything and everyone I pleased. I still do some extent when we were at court, though I would always return to Alice my dear mate.

I watched as Aro, carefully led my sister to the sofa and sat not once letting go of her hand. I wonder if he could use his power on her. The boy couldn't, my beloved Alice couldn't always see her future and when she did it was always hazy. It seemed like my gift was the only one that worked on her though sometimes I wonder if that was just pure luck.

I moved to stand behind my her as Carlisle managed to pull himself together and reattach his hand that Aro, must have removed while Bella was using me as a shield. I can say one thing about my sister and that was she knew that at that moment I was the strongest and deadliest person in the room apart from Aro who from the feeling I was getting off her she still wasn't sure about.

I decided since Carlisle was preoccupied fixing himself I would do the introductions. Placing my hands on her shoulders and letting my small finger trace along her scar I started to speak

"Isabella, may I please introduce you to the Aro Volturi, one of our kings."

I was proud of my sister as she lowered her head so her was neck was showing, giving Aro the proper sign of submission for a human. Not to my surprise he leant over and kissed the top of her head. The only vampire that was ever going to touch her neck again would be Marcus.

"It's an honour to finally meet you while you are awake la mia principessa."

By the speed my sister's head suddenly shot up I was surprised she didn't give herself a head rush but the way she suddenly placed her free hand on her forehead told me she had done just that, silly girl. Once she managed to gain control of herself I watched her open her pretty little mouth like she was about to say something causing me to shake my head at her causing her to close it again but not before a sigh of annoyance slipped out. Once she was in Volturi she would have to be careful of that Marcus didn't do well with people not obeying him right away.

"As I told you earlier all your questions will be answered, you'll just have to patient darlin'. Now the big guy over there is Felix, he is a member of the palace guard and the little runt over there that keeps giggling is Jane, another member of the guard though she spends most of her time as one of Aro's bodyguards."

Bella smiled at both of them before giving them a small "hello".

I couldn't stop the growl that left my mouth as I felt the amount of lust suddenly pick up in the room. There was no way in hell; I was going to stand for that. Both Jane and Felix shot me a quiet sorry as Aro chuckled to himself over the whole situation. When my master couldn't be here to look after his mate it fell to me.

"Now we must be on our way principessa, but you have nothing to worry about."

Bella looked around the room hoping someone would explain what was going on but she was only meet by silence. I felt her resolve give way before nodding to Aro, who clapped his hands before giving her one of his best smiles before turning to me and talking in his normal speed

"You have two days to wrap everything up Major. As far as the humans are concerned she is to be claimed dead. Marcus isn't will to let her go this time."

I nodded my head before flicking my eyes towards the man I had come to see as a traitor.

"Bring him with you. Even if he is in bits. Marcus has much to say to him."

I couldn't stop the smirk that crossed my face as Carlisle face showed that he knew exactly what Aro meant. Someone wasn't getting out of this with his body fully intact.
