A/N: So here is a chapter full of surprises! I loved writing this chapter even though it took me roughly an hour and a half to do it. Thanks to my math teacher for making math so easy I don't need to pay attention! Anyway, enjoy!
Reviews are love as is Jasper and Emmett,

"It all started right before my twenty-first birthday. I had a wife back then…Natasha." I took a deep breath not realizing how much it would hurt to talk about my deceased love.
"You don't have to tell me…I'll understand."
Shaking my head, I knew I had to continue. "I worked in our fields as she watched, resting. She was with child at the time, and I didn't want her overworking herself.
Isabella just listened watching my every movement as I had hers before.
"I had been noticing that strange figures in black cloaks had been watching our small farm. Of course now, I know why they came after me." To lighten the mood, I let out a small chuckle.
"Did you tell anyone?"
"No, well yes, but no one believed me. They thought I was crazy. It was too late when they realized I wasn't lying."
Her eyes widened. "What happened to Natasha?"
"Well, it was night and the full moon was high. I remember that. All I heard was a strange swishing and then her scream." The memory of it all caused me to cringe. "They grabbed her from the bed. I sat up unable to see anything. Then Aro…Aro lit a candle, so all I could do was stare into his cold, dead eyes. 'Join us' it was all he said. What was I suppose do? I didn't know who they were. A man had my wife's neck to his lips. I didn't know why at the time but I had a horrible feeling that he would cause the death of my Natasha and our unborn child."
I stopped my story wanting to face Bella and not exist without the love of my existence…or who had been the love of my existence.
"Aro killed your wife?" Her voice was thick with emotion. "I never would've thought you had a family…you seemed so happy alone."
How wrong she was. I caught Demetri's scent. We had to move or else we'd be caught.
"Isabella-Bella, we must move!" I placed my hand behind her elbow trying to get her to move faster.
"Not so fast!" All I heard was Demetri's voice then excruciating pain. Jane had come with him.

Bella POV
They had found us. I blocked Jane watching Vincent fall to the ground writhing in pain.
"My, my Bella, you have my best guard member coming to aid your escape."
I glared wanting so badly to burn him.
"He came on his own accord! I had nothing to do with it! Please, let him go!" I was begging for him.
Jane growled but released him after getting a fierce look from Aro. "Now, Jane, be a nice little girl." She nodded solemnly looking down.
Then I was in pain, I was burning. Had they caught me off guard? Was this my death? How could I let this happen? I hadn't even got to say good bye to Edward.
His name was at my lips, but it was replaced by a shrill scream.
My eyes looked to Vincent seeing his saddened eyes. His hand found mine as we now burned together.

Edward POV
Alice stiffened beside me seeing another hurtful vision. Two blurred figures were fighting to what seemed like the death. A word was shouted. It sounded like a name. Not my name, Vincent…who was Vincent?
"Bella's in danger" her voice was quiet.
"What do you mean danger?"
"He found someone…Aro found someone, I don't know how. He found someone that can turn off vampires' powers so to speak. She had been running to meet us…they found her, Edward."
A wave of calm crashed into me though my worry overcame that. "She's…what's happening?" The hum of voices in my head turned to a dull roar. "Is she?" I couldn't say the word remembering what the pillars of smoke looked like…seeing my Bella burning.
The pilot came on telling us to fasten our seatbelts as we prepared to land. Rosalie and Emmett came out of the bathroom earning many disgusted looks from passengers in first class.
Only a little long and Bella would be back in my arms. I had to hope that's all I could really do.

Jane POV (OME, I know! I've always wanted to do this)
I watched as they cringed and writhed in pain on the ground. It was a joy to cause them pain…to earn my Aro's praise.
He gave me a look and I stopped looking down to hide my smirk.
Glancing up, I saw they stared into each other's eyes. Their eyes showed they felt something…something I would never be able to experience with my child-like body.
"Stupid girl!" I went forward putting my maximum amount of volts on. She screamed out gripping onto the other vampire's hand.
I released him from my grip as I caused her as much pain as I could, getting glares from Vincent. Maybe if I did this long enough, she would burst into flames.

Vincent POV
How could she do this? Aro wasn't stopping her either. Finally, I got up hitting her into a tree with enough power to bring the mature oak down with her. My temper was rising.
I heard Bella let out a breath. "Vincent" she said my name in a whisper just lying there.
What could I do to help her?
Her fiancé would be arriving at the airport now. She wouldn't be there to meet him as she said she would.
"We'll come back with you." It was defeat but the only way to keep us both alive. I would do it to save this beautiful girl I had met a few weeks ago during her painful transformation.
"No…" She didn't say what she was thinking but I knew. Edward would come for her no matter where she was.
I felt the sting of jealousy as I started to walk away. My feelings got the best of me. "My lord, the Cullens are on their way."
Bella's eyes followed me. I didn't see them but felt them on the back of my neck.
"Bastard" she hissed as Jane and the new vampire, Tristen, held her captive.
"Very well, we must prepare for their arrival." Turning around, I met his cold eyes seeing a wicked grin come across his papery features.
