~~Chapter 4~~~
She follows them for almost an hour till she catches up with them at the top of a nearby mountain, overlooking the construction of the Cullen's new home. At the moment they have a few tents set up for each of the couples and the foundation of the home built; from their vantage point she can see Rosalie and Jasper putting down the boards for the floor and pulling up the walls.
"For only being gone a few hours or so, they have a lot of work done." Felix comments and Isabella rolls her eyes.
"If you look closer you'll see that the foundation was already there, they just started to create the house." Her words are cut through by a high pitched scream, the human must be in one of the large tents, she watches as only Rosalie is affected by the humans pitiful sounds.
"Where is the rest of them Demitri?" She asks sending out her shield, only getting pings of the transitioning human, her brother and the blonde bitch.
"They're in the tents, hidden under Jasper's shield." She growls lowly as she watches the pixie flit out of one of the tents and over to Jasper, she leans in close to him and whispers something to him.
"Let's go. I wanna go home." She sighs before running from the cliff face and launching herself off, landing in the center of the floor that Jasper was working on.
"Hello, Pixie." Her voice deep, full of power and authority. Dropping her cloak, her eyes so black there was no white visible. The Corporal had taken over, tired of playing cat and mouse with this stupid bitch. In seconds she has Alice pinned and wrapped in her shield so she can't manipulate anyone, and looks back.. She watches as her brother tries to fight Felix as she wraps her brother in her shield. Her brother is taken down in less than four seconds, her heart clenched, but she has to follow through with her orders or she will be forced to kill him.
"Get the plane back here, we'll take them home and I'll deal with them soon enough." She snarls. Looking back to Alice, she makes the pixie look at her, Isabella staring deep into her eyes and murmurs, a musical lilt to her voice, "You're going to look at only me or the ground until we get to Volterra, then you will answer to the kings and you will not try to manipulate anyone in the castle." She steps away from the Pixie that stares at the ground. She turns from the manipulator to the rest of the Cullen Clan to see that they all were on their knees, looking at her with fear.
"Instead of killing the Cullens, we will take them back to the Castle and let Aro kill them, he deserves to kill his closest friend and his Clan." Demetri and Felix nod and a loud engine brings the trio's attention to the sky, looking up they see their private jet coming in to land nearby.
"Kill the newborn." She says tossing the pixie over her shoulder and dragging her brother by a tight grip on his shoulder. She hears Edward roaring in protest at her orders, but they are cut short when Alec steps onto the stairs of the plane, numbing him. She takes the pixie unto the back of the plane and sits her by herself, wrapped in her shields, and seats the rest of the Cullen's near the front so she can keep an eye on them.
About an hour into the flight she coughs, blinks a few times and gives herself a rough shake. "I apologize if I hurt any of the Volturi coven while Corporal took over, She doesn't care who she hurts as long as she follows orders. I know that she manipulated Alice and incapacitated her, what was done to Jasper?" Isabella questions as she pulls her conscious to the forefront of her mind and shoves Corporal and Athena back into their respective cages.
"Corporal wrapped him in your shields and let Felix take him down, other than that nothing, Ares never made an appearance, neither did the Major. He's just been staring at his feet, refusing to answer anyone." Jane tells her from her left. She looks around the plane to see Jane and Alec seated on both sides of her, as if they where her guards. Felix and Demetri sat on the opposite couch, keeping Rosalie, Carlisle, Esme and Edward on one couch with Jasper in the middle on a recliner.
"Jasper." She mumbles, she watches him blink and he still refuses to look up. "Major Whitlock." Nothing. "Ares!" Nothing. Blinking, she sighs. Two more hours pass and she bites her lip.
"Reed." She whispers, his head jerks up and look her in the eye.
"Marie." He whispers, a small smile on his lips.
"There you are Jay." He smiles and shrugs.
"I had to reevaluate the last sixty years of my life without her manipulation in my head." She nods, glad that he hasn't brought up his memories that she took.
"She'll answer for that, so will the rest of the Clan, for keeping Edward's human alive without turning or killing her. She has been eliminated and burned for knowing about you. She wouldn't have survived her first year, the Volturi would have trained her until she lost her mind or begged to die, which they would have given her immediately and made one of you do it. The Volturi might make all of you watch as Alice is tested for her memories, tried for her crimes and executed. I have no idea who will execute her and what will happen to the rest of you." She knows that she isn't telling the whole truth, but she tells them enough of the truth that they can't smell the deceit. She watches the Cullen's sink into themselves and refuse to look at anyone but their Clan members.
"What does Reed stand for?" Felix questions, looking over at Isabella who smiles softly.
"It's Jasper's middle name. Only I was allowed to call him that when we were growing up, because he wouldn't be able to hear me over the workers in the steel mill he worked in before Momma got sick and he had to come home to take care of me and her." He smiles and so do the rest of the Volturi Clan.
"You called yourself Corporal and Athena, like the warlords of the Southern Vampire wars, yet you work for the Volturi, when you can take them down and rule the entire race if you want to. Why do you tell them about you and your brother's personal life?" Rosalie asks, looking up from her heels.
"I was sentenced to two hundred years of required work from Aro himself. If I didn't do as he asked, he would take Jasper from his life, bring him to the castle, force me to give his memory back, make Alec numb me and make Jasper rip me apart and then rip him apart. I was alone for more than twenty years before anyone in the Castle would speak to me, let alone ask how I came to be who I am. I have nothing to hide, Aro has nothing he can take from me now. So I can tell them whatever they wish to know, not caring about the consequences." She nods and looks back down.
"So, do you have any idea what happened to Daddy or Clay? How they reacted to losing not only me, but the only girl that had been born in our family for generations?" Jasper's voice brings Isabella from the verge of losing herself in dark memories, causing her to smile.
"Daddy and Clay were devastated that they had to bury Momma and two empty caskets and pay for two headstones. They were really depressed, but Daddy remarried after Clay married Elizabeth Blake. Clay had five kids, three boys and two girls but they youngest girl died from measles. The oldest boy and the youngest girl were named after you and I. He died from a bar fight when he was in his late sixties, he got badly cut and it got infected and he died about two months was too old to have anymore children but he died in his sleep in his late seventies from a heart attack. Yet our bloodline still lives, there haven't been many girls born to the Whitlock family, so the boy's keep it going." Jasper smiles knowing that his family lives on.
"I went to see out graves brother..They are the best kept graves in our family plot. We constantly have flowers in the vases and every few years they go back over the engravings to make sure that we aren't forgotten." He seems surprised.
"Why?" He asks, she shrugs.
"I have no idea." He nods and they all go back to silence for the remainder of their flight.
