Chapter Three

Ella got out of the rocking chair from which she had been rocking her sleeping daughter. She kissed Tala's forehead and walked over to the cradle. She only took the blanket from the cradle. She wrapped it around the sleeping child, letting it hang across her shoulder.

She walked out of the room, stepping lightly. She stopped at the living room, trying to plan her path to the door. Werewolves littered her living room floor. The one she really wanted to avoid was asleep in their room. She stepped over a snoring Sam and wiggled around Seth. She tiptoed around Paul and Jerod and reached the door. She opened it soundlessly and quickly exited it.

Emmett was waiting with the armored van they had made especially for this occasion. Ella placed Tala in his arms. "I'll be back in a minute. I need to say goodbye." She said. She walked back into the house and smirked when she saw Embry asleep on the couch with his hand resting on Seth's head. She bent and kissed Embry's cheek. She ruffled Seth's hair and went to hers and Jacob's room. She placed a gentle kiss on his lips. He reacted slowly, grunting in dissatisfaction when she pulled away. "Mm? Is it morning yet?" He mumbled.

Ella shook her head and kissed him again. She pulled the covers up around him. "Go back to sleep, babe." She said. She hugged him. "I love you, Jacob."

Jacob squinted at her. "I…love…you…t…" He was out. Ella squeezed his hand gently and left.

About five hours later

Italy

Ella was still wrestling with her guilt of not only leaving Jacob bewildered and anxious, but taking Tala from Embry, when their plane landed in Italy. The Cullens not only had their own private jet, but they had their own private plane.

Emmett touched her shoulder. He had Tala asleep and drooling on his shoulder. "Its time." He said, his eyes were a bright gold, there was something hidden in them…excitement.

Same Time

La Push

Jacob was glaring at Alice. "Why couldn't you have seen this coming?" He demanded.

Alice slammed her fist into the desk making it crack. "Because one of two things happened; this was either spontaneous or Emmett and Ella went behind our backs and planned this extensively but trained themselves not to think about it around Edward or do anything irrational or planned until last night so we wouldn't see it coming!" She snapped.

"Well it worked! We're surprised." Embry griped. "what if Emmett gets hungry? He's got two snacks with him! Oh my little Tala!"

"Emmett has more restraint than that!" Rosalie snarled.

Jacob glared at everyone. "Shut up! My daughter and wife are in Italy while we stand here and argue about it!"

"We only have one choice," Alice said, "Create the army that they wanted us to create and meet them there."

Jacob huffed like a three year old throwing a tantrum. "Fine, but we start immediately."

Italy

The armored van was made to look like an Italian bank truck. Inside there were two parts to the car, there were the driver and passenger seats, but behind those seats was a door that led to the real amazing part of the vehicle. In the back there was a big metal box built into the floor, there was a little door on the end of it and inside it there was a mattress. This was to protect Ella and Tala while they slept and in case they were actually attacked and Emmett couldn't protect them. It was also to hide Tala when they were under attack. For this reason, the box was also sound proof to keep the sounds of gunshots from getting to Tala and to keep the sound of Tala's cries from getting to the Volturi.

Beside the metal box was a hatch. Underneath the floor were their guns and the flame throwers with their packs.

Now, besides the metal box and the hatch in the floor, the back of the truck was packed with food, water, first aid materials and the like.

Ella held Tala in her lap as she babbled up at her mother. Ella smiled painfully at her innocent daughter. Tala loved her no matter what she did. Tala didn't know that mommy had just taken her from daddy. Tala didn't know that Ella had practically kidnapped her. Tala didn't know they were in Italy. Tala didn't know that Ella had brought her close to danger. Tala didn't know. Tala loved Ella.

Tala looked over at Emmett with her deep blue eyes and he couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt too. He reached over and ruffled her hair. She squealed at him. "Emma!" She squeaked.

Emmett laughed. "Close enough kid, close enough." He said.

"EMMETT!" Ella screamed.

Emmett looked at the window, there was a van, much like their own, stopped right in front of them. He slammed on the brakes. Ella held tight to Tala. They came to a stop inches from the car in front of them. The license plate read: VOLTURI

"Put Tala in the box." He said quickly. Ella ran into the back of the van. Emmett watched the van. The back doors opened to reveal Corin and Heidi. Corin went to launch at the car but Emmett put the car in reverse and slammed on the gas. "ELLA!" He snapped.

Ella didn't respond. If Emmett had been human, his heart would've picked up. He opened his mouth to call her name again but was cut off by Corin jumping on the hood of the van. He growled at her. She grinned sadistically and lifted her fist to punch the window. "ELLA!" Emmett yelled again.

Before Corin's fist could hit the window an enormous blast of fire came from above her. She screamed but the fire didn't stop. Slowly, Emmett watched her burn to death, his eyes wide. He stepped on the brakes and the massive black chunk that was once a vampire fell off the front of the car. Ella fell onto the hood with an "uff" of discomfort, with a black pack on her back and a flamethrower in her hand.

Emmett stared at her incredulously. Ella got off the hood and got back in the van. "You called?" She said.

"Damn girl," was all he could say.

La Push

Alice gasped. Jacob and Embry looked over at her anxiously. "What? What do you see?" Jacob prodded.

Alice looked up at them with wild and anxious eyes. "Ella just killed Corin."

Jacob narrowed his eyes. "Is this a good or a bad thing?"

"Corin is a Volturi." Jasper said coolly.

"How is she?" Carlisle prodded.

"No injuries Carlisle. Calm down." Alice said. She looked at Jacob. "Your wife is a little firecracker."

Jacob smiled a little bit. "That she is."
