AN: Please review and give constructive criticism! The reason I spelled Magickal with a 'k' instead of a 'c' is because 'Magick' is the real magick, while 'magic' is the parlor tricks that Magicians do. It's very common in the Wiccan, Witch, and Druid practices to spell it this way.

I will post when time and creativity will allow, but I won't post a chapter even if it's typed up if people aren't review!!!! SO REVIEW PEOPLE!!!!!!

-Thoughts and Flashbacks are italics

- My comments during the story (( are in between here ))

- Bold at the beginning and end are Author Notes

So here it is The Game. Sit back and enjoy! Don't forget to review! Please ignore poor grammar and spelling. Microsoft didn't tell me it was wrong and I type these things without rereading them before posting!!!!

Last time on The Game:

I looked up to see the sky cloudy and beginning to get lighter. It was time to go hunting with the family.

"Oh Edward," I thought as I replaced the book on the shelf; "I am the monster you believed you were and fail to protect me from becoming."

Chapter Three: Wrena's New Little Friend

Wrena's POV

"Wrena, pick up the phone!" yelled Morgana up the stairs.

I sighed, ran into my study and picked up the phone.

"Hello, you have reached the Executioner. Who do you need dead?"

"I need a human dead," said the voice on the other line.

I frowned. I knew that voice.

"Victoria?"

"Hey Wrena. You are going to hate me, but the human is dating Edward Cullen."

My eyes turned to slits as I sat down in my chair.

"And since you can't kill me because I'd kick your ass, you are going after Edward's new human pet," I guessed.

Victoria laughed. "You caught me. Morgana told me how you killed their newest family member. You can kill two birds with one stone."

"What's the human's name?"

"Brenna."

"Another 'B' name?"

"I guess he is trying to fill a void," Victoria laughed.

While listening to Victoria giving me the details about the human, I leaned back in my chair, propped my feet up on my desk and moved a price book from the top of the desk to my lap. Half of my attention was on Victoria and the other half was calculating how much my fee was going to be.

"$1,500 for the target and $600 for each bodyguard," Wrena thought.

"I know you're calculating what you're fee is going to be, so how about you tell me the cost of this."

"Well, for the target alone it's 15 grand, but if I have to fight off any bodyguards it will be $600 for each bodyguard."

Victoria hissed in annoyance, "you're charging me $5,700 to kill a human?!?"

"If I get her alone a human costs $1,500, but her having vampire guards that adds more danger to my safety. Therefore that's going to drive the price up," I explained soothingly.

"I assume you are trustworthy when it comes to telling me if you kill her when she is alone or not."

"Of course. It there a particular time you what her dead by or can I do it at my leisure?"

"Whenever you get around to it," Victoria replied.

"Good. I'll see you at the Year Ball," I said before hanging up. No goodbyes at the end of a phone call from me unless you're part of my coven. It was a rule of mine.

The Year Ball was held at the Volturi's Castle once a year and it was required of all vampires along with anyone they counted as coven/family/clan. For the past 15 years of me being a vampire, the Cullens refused to go. For all they knew, I could have died during the Game. No one had bothered to come look for or contact me. Aro had told me last week that he let the Cullens know that if they didn't show themselves this year, then they would be marked for death. After all these years, I would finally come face to face with the Cullen Coven.

For the next few weeks I planned my attack, while everyone else planned the trip to the Year Ball. Before we knew it, a month had passed.

Aro, Marius and Caius greeted myself and my family inside the huge throne room. After the greeting, Aro told me he would give my new gun to me once I was settled in. We were only staying for three days, but the amount of lugguage my sisters brought was enough for a week's stay. Sometimes they were worse than four Alice's put together.

"Anne, why did you need to bring a trunk? Isn't a suitcase enough?" Dante complained as he and I carried it down the hallway.

Marius glanced behind him as Anne growled in annoyance at her mate. I caught a glimpse of the twinkle of laughter in his eyes before he turned his head. Morgana, who was carrying her suitcases plus my weapons bag, shook her head. She had packed things in Anne's trunk as well. Somehow Morgana had twisted her husband, Adam, into carrying my suitcase as well as his. His philosophy was, "if you packed the bag, you carry it."

"The amount of clothes in that trunk would have taken three suitcases. This way you only have to carry one," she replied.

"Are you going to change six times a day? I know Morgana packed our dress clothes in there, but come on! We're only here for three days," Dante said in exasperation.

With a glare from his mate, Dante shut up and mutely went back to carrying his half of the trunk. After nearly four decades living with Adam and centuries of practice, the older Siabelis' had dropped the mannerism of the time period they had lived in pre-vampire and adopted modern slangs. The longer Dante remained silent the more I wondered if Anne had used her power to force Dante into silence, but his lips didn't look strained. When we arrived at his and Anne's room he thanked Marius as me and him set his wife's trunk on the floor in the room.

The room was spacious in a emerald green, silver and white theme. I could tell by the smirk on Anne's face as I left the room that the bathroom was large with plenty of counter space. Morgana and Adam handed me my bags and the rest of the family went down to the next door.

Cal and Mary were next in the family to be shown their room. When I stepped inside, I recognized the style of the room was done as it would have looked like during the Tudors. ((As in Henry the 18th and Elizabeth the 1st! Those Tudors.)) Mary looked like she would be weeping in happiness if she were able.

"Aro had this room designed exclusively for you and your mate Lady Mary," Marius explained as Cal rubbed his wife's back.

"It looks exactly like her bedroom in her parent's house," Morgana said in my mind as we followed Marius to the next door down the hall.

It turned out to be Morgana's and Adam's room. The room was just a spacious as Anne's and Dante's, but it was down in cream, copper and sky blue.

"Truth be told," Marius said as he stopped in front of my door; "Each room was designed exclusively for your families uses and they are adjoining."

"So that's why each room is decorated in the person's favorite colors and style?" Ben asked.

"And that's why Aro has strategically placed my room between your room and Morgana's," I stated to Ben.

I turned my attention to Marius. "Let me guess, my room is done in black, blood red and gold."

He nodded. "Jane will be here in fifteen minutes to take you to Aro for your new guns," he informed me as I opened my door.

"Guns? As in two?" I thought excitedly. It felt like Christmas.

I had been right. The room was in black, blood red and gold.

"Did Aro change his mind about my request?" I asked Marius, after he showed Ben his room.

He shook his head 'no'.

"He said as long as Edward's human is within the palace walls for the ball, she cannot be harmed in anyway."

I caught the loop hole Aro had left for me.

"So if she were to leave the palace even during the time of the ball," I began.

"She's free game."

I smiled. Perfect.

"Aro also wanted me to tell you that you are excused from the no weapons policy. You have a great many enemies without added the ones you have gained in the vampiric world."

I nodded. "Tell him I said 'thanks'," I said before retreating back into my room and shutting the door behind me.

The room wasn't as big as Anne's or Morgana's, but it was just the right size for me. The floor was made from cherry wood and the walls were painted black with cherry wood panels on the bottom half of the walls. There was a canopy bed, carved from cherry wood with gold decorations on it. The canopy was made of black transparent materiel and the bedding was black with blood red roses as the pattern. The armoire was done like the frame of my bed. On the walls, weapons were mounted up as decorations. In the corner I saw an empty sword holder next to a weapons cabinet. Tucked into another corner was a desk the same cherry wood with gold patterns as my bed and armoire. On top of the desk was a letter in Aro's handwriting.

Wrena,

I hope you enjoy the décor of your room. The weapons are all functional and were blessed and warded by Morgana. I'm sure a warrior like you would appreciate adding these weapons to your collection. These rooms were decorated in the hope that you and your coven would visit me more often for longer periods of time.

Aro

PS. We need to find you a mate.

I frowned. The bastard was trying to bribe me! Too bad for him it wasn't working. It was close, but not good enough to persuade me to join the Volturi. His comment about me needed a mate pushed him over the line, making his attempt futile. There was a sharp knock at one of the three doors, but not the one that went to the hallway. The door burst open and Morgana walked in carrying the black dress I was wearing to the ball that night.

"Hang this up so it doesn't wrinkle," she ordered and I obeyed. She was ticked about something and I didn't want to push her to the killing rage.

"Where are my other two?"

For each of the three days there was a ball, so a different dress was needed for each one.

"I sent them down to the laundry room. The idiot who went through the trunk at the airport wasn't careful and didn't pack them the way I had them, so they wrinkled," Morgana huffed.

I decided she was calm enough to push her just a tad. "I'll ask Aro to drain the bastard for your dinner to make up for this terrible crime! Wrinkles! It's the end of the world!" I said my voice digging with sarcasm.

Morgana glared at me. "If you weren't my sister. I would kill you, but if you can get the person who did this for my dinner it will make up for your sarcasm."

"Well do!"

There was another knock, this time at the door that led to the hallway.

"I'll unpack your things. I know you want to get your new toy," Morgana said as she pushed me towards the door.

Jane smiled at me when I opened my door and hugged me. Yes we got close over the decade and a half.

"I can't wait to see your face when you see your new guns," she told me grinning madly as she led me to Aro's study.

It wasn't long before I was sitting in a chair across from Aro, who was sitting at a desk. I just got done telling him about the complaint of Morgana.

"I will see what I can do," was all he said about that matter. Which translated to, "The person's head will be on a platter."

"Where's my new gun?" I asked impatiently.

A decade and half did nothing to improve my patients. It only wore it down. Aro smiled at me and singled to Jane who disappeared then reappeared holding a big wooden box. Caius was behind her holding an identical box. They set the boxes on the desk and stood again the wall behind Aro. I stood up and opened the lid of the box closest to me, looked inside and grinned.

"The 13 millimeter Jackal. Its semi-automatic, nearly 12 inches longs and weighs 35 pounds. No human would wield this one handed. We got you two so you had the added joy of duel wielding," Aro said with a smile of his face. He was enjoying my reaction, so was Jane and everyone else in the room. ((The gun is Alucard's from the anime Hellsing)) I picked up the first gun, caressed it lovingly and placed it in the empty gun holster at my thigh. Aro opened the last box and handed it to me. After the second gun was placed in the second empty gun holster at my thigh, I looked up at them and smiled. They all looked highly pleased with themselves.

"I think these will do just fine," I said, looking lovingly at my new babies.

"Good!" Aro exclaimed, still looking pleased with himself.

"But you're bribes, though good, are not enough to get me to join you."

Aro's face fell, but brightened again. "Very well. The rest of our guest will be arriving soon and I must greet them. I assume you don't wish to see the Cullen family until the ball," he said getting to his feet.

I nodded. "See you in a few hours," I replied, before leaving the study with Jane.

"I hope you like your new guns," Jane said as we walked down the corridor together.

"Very much so," I replied smiling down at her; "If I had the contacts Aro has I would have gotten these sooner!"

Jane grinned. "Are you going to belly dance again this year? You are wonderful at it and I know the rest of the Volturi would enjoy seeing you perform again."

I sighed. Three years after being forced into playing the Game, I took up belly dancing to not only help gain better balance, but to gain muscle and a seductive air around me. The seductive air helped to get men alone when I was human in order to kill them. Now a days, belly dancing helped me relax, take my mind off my stress and to honor my femininity.

"If Morgana pack my costume I will," I promised as we reached my door.

It was flung open to reveal Morgana, who was grinning broadly. "Glad to hear that Wrena! I packed your red and gold one just in case you wanted to!"

I turned and looked at Jane. "Looks like I will be entertaining during the next three days," I stated.

"Be ready tomorrow. Aro has business tonight and there will not be any time," Jane stated before gliding away.

I glared at my sister as I walked into my room. "What do you have to say for yourself?" I asked.

Morgana just gave me an innocent look. "SURPRISE!" she yelled, but at my continue glare she added; "Don't worry I brought mine too. We can do a set together and then each of us can do a solo."

"Sounds good," was all I managed to say before she grabbed my hand and pulling me through to door that connected our bedrooms and into her bathroom. There I spent the next few hours getting ready for the ball with the help of Morgana and Anne and then helping them get ready in turn.

After about four hours of getting ready there was a knock at the door. It was show time.

AN:

Wow that was freaking long! That is why I'm stopping for now. I don't feel like describing what the females are wearing, so I will make Gaia avatars of them on . I will get them posted onto my profile ASAP! DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS!

This is want the note read if you had trouble reading it:

Wrena,

I hope you enjoy the décor of your room. The weapons are all functional and were blessed and warded by Morgana. I'm sure a warrior like you would appreciate adding these weapons to your collection. These rooms were decorated in the hope that you and your coven would visit me more often for longer periods of time.
