Chapter 2

Carlisle POV

I had stayed home with Esme today because it had been three days since we heard from two of our children. We were worried. Things had gone batty ever since we left forks and Bella. Emmet and rose weren't talking to anyone though I would have thought rose happy to have left Bella but she seems just as upset as Emmet dose over that.

My cell went off and I answered.

"Hello?"

I was surprised by who answered.

"Hello Carlisle. Felix here via order of the brothers your whole family is to come to Volterra on the next flight. Don't try to run or you will get their ashes back without knowing why. See you soon Cullen clan."

He disconnected directly after. I looked around me and saw the whole family having come down when they heard Felix on the line.

Emmet and rose looked sullen but ready none the less. Esme looked heartbroken knowing we had no choice but to go see them. We were off to the airport and the next flight to Italy. None of us speaking to anyone.

Time Jump

Felix POV

I was waiting at the airport for the Cullen's no doubt our threat got them on the next flight here and it was still sunny out so I was sent to pick them up.

As they came into view I could tell two of them were ill for some reason. So I rushed them to the car to get on the way.

With my driving it did not take us long to get back. I lead them to the chamber to find Bella had fallen asleep on Marcus and Jasper looked better but still had not moved any since Caius picked him up.

ARO POV

"Aw finally you are here. But I see there is something wrong with two of you. Mind telling me what and why or showing me?"

Carlisle didn't move or speak. He just looked at my brothers and who they were holding. The two who were a bit ill stepped forward.

"Well um you see. We both have wanted to go back to Bella but we were told we would be killed if we did. Edward and Alice well they know what we fear so use it against us. We have not ate in weeks because of Alice. And well we both found a connection to Bella and Jasper only after we were made to leave her."

I thought on that before looking at their eyes noticing the color and how stiff they stood.

"I see. Do you care what we give you to drink? And what connection to our two newest members? We will not let you harm them again as you can see they both are not in a good state. This is thanks to the same two who is the thanks of your hunger."

The female answered this time.

"We do not care anymore of what we drink we see now that either way we are killing something. And well we both are related to either of them. I am descendant from Jasper His human family are my great grandparents. Bella is Emmet's great niece based on her father's side. We finally understood a month after we left what we saw that night. We didn't see jasper hunger for her but try to save her from Edward who wanted nothing but her blood."

I thought long about this and nodded.

"You will no longer have to feel that way as we have not drained a human in months. Felix go and get these two some from our medical wing please and do put it in something and heat it some. We have found it is much easier to drink donated blood rather than kill though we do still do so from time to time but only those who have killed to many and not been caught by police."

Felix ran to do as told as both looked astounded about what I said.

"Been told we kill before getting answers to have you. Oh dear Carlisle has been telling stories hasn't he. Now as for those two pathetic vampires when the vampire world all gathers here within the next week or so for the mating rites all shall have a say in what happens to them and any other wrongs they have done to others will be revealed. Now I believe the captain's mate has something to share with us."

They turned to look at the two standing behind Marcus and Caius. When the female stepped out from behind them and stood in front of us once more.

Char POV

I looked from one to another before speaking.

"Indeed master's I do have something to say. Both mated pairs are genuine though Esme and Carlisle's is a temporary mate bond not a true mate bond. Emmet and rose are true mates. They both have a bond with Bella that of siblings. Esme and Carlisle do not have a bond with her at all. Now that Bella is here and asleep I can also say that last year we went to visit but was not allowed to do so and we met her dad but we did not talk to him because he was with the shifters. He is my and peter's missing mate. We do not know how to gain him though so we will have to talk to Bella about it."

I sighed and took my place back behind Marcus and Caius.

M POV

"It would seem so. But do so after she has gotten the major with us again it would be helpful to have him fully a where of what was going on."

I look at Esme and her bonds and smile. Felix finally comes back and hands Emmet and his mate their drink. They drink it very fast but they do look better for it.

"As for Emmet and Rose why don't you join Peter and his mate behind us I am sure Bella will love having you four as her guards. Esme your true mate is a vampire already one I would have thought you have met already but it seems someone has kept you away when he visited."

I look at aro before holding out my hand for him to take to see what I did.

ARO POV

As I looked into what my brother saw I started to growl.

"Indeed brother a travesty to have been done that way. Demetri track Alistair and get him here I know he would not come unless you got him to do so. Offer him his freedom from running from us like he has been."

Carlisle looked horrified at Esme finding out the truth. But Bella was waking up so he hid it.
