Chapter 5: The Big Reveal

"Hello Boys." I greeted coolly walking into the room my long burgundy cape billowing behind me. My voice was sharp and rang like soft bells. Both men stopped, arms raised as if they were about to tear one another apart. I shook my head sadly as I approached them. I concentrated hard and watched as they turned towards me completely blind.

"Who are you?" Edward snarled looking in all directions.

"Oh Eddie… Deaf."

He sunk to the ground and sat there numbly. I loved my powers. The fear radiating from the two of them made me feel powerful. I walked closer examining the features of Edward's face. His expression was pained and resigned, he thought I was there to kill him. His face no longer held meaning for me, he'd hurt me so much, there was no forgiveness. I turned and gasped when I really looked at Jasper. He stood rigidly posed to go out fighting, even blindly. But that's not what drew me closer. The scars that marred his handsome face crisscrossed overlapping one another all the way down his V-neck sweater. His arms and even parts of his ankles.

"What happened to you?" I asked him in awe.

I wasn't afraid, nor did I pity him. They were the signs of having fought many many times, not once on the losing end. I was impressed and at the same time mourned for all the pain he must have endured throughout the course of his existence.

"You should know." He hissed.

I stepped forward boldly letting my hands traces the contours of his pained face, "You're here to die?" I asked him.

His head dropped in defeat, the pain that radiated from his body almost took my breath away.

"Yes." His voice became resigned and his shoulders relaxed.

"Why?"

"My brother… My ex wife… They knew who I was supposed to end up with… The intervened with destiny, now she's gone. I'll be forever cursed to walk this earth alone, with the knowledge I could have saved her…" His voice broke thick with emotion. His eyes were glazed with venom with tears he could never cry. His anguish was what I felt, had felt for a long time.

"But was she not a silly human girl? A human girl you left with knowledge of this existence?"

My anger getting the best of me, I needed answers. If he was in love with me, if he knew there was a connection why did he leave with the others? Why would he be here now, why wouldn't he have come through my window and whisked me away instead of letting me fall into the arms of a volatile werewolf?

"I didn't want to leave. They forced me. They told me she was scared of me, that she was worried I would kill her…"

Anger flared through my system, my newborn rage still in full force. I growled low and deadly, "They had no, right to do that to us…"

As soon as the words escaped my lips I wanted to take them back. Jasper's stance straightened his eyes were wide with unseeing shock. He reached out blindly, but I stepped out of his reach, it was a dumb move…

"Bella?" His voice so filled with hope.

I sighed and returned his senses to him. He stood still adjusting to the light. Then he turned and stared at me with love and adoration, but I was far from running into his arms.

"Hello Jasper."

He looked from me to his brother who was on the floor deaf, dumb, and blind. "Is he?"

"He'll be fine when I release my hold on him." I retorted curtly.

He nodded for a moment, his eyes drinking me in, looking at my immaculate immortal body. But the way his eyes penetrated my own, it was like he was seeing right through my soul. A soul I knew I didn't have.

"Bella I…"

But I placed my hand up to stop him. "First I will question your brother. You will remain silent. I need to hear what he has to say. Once I've made my decision then perhaps you and I could talk."

He nodded and I turned to Edward letting him hear again.

"Edward. You come here seeking death…" I stated in a dull emotionless voice.

"Yes." He spoke clearly.

"Explain."

"I have nothing to say…"

But he did, I used his power against him and began picking through his brain…

I don't know who this girl thinks she is. I know they'll refuse me. But it'll seem as though I'm remorseful over Bella's demise.

I held in the growl the was begging to slip through. I decided to dig deeper. Unlike Aro I didn't need to touch someone to know their every thought.

I think the stupid human is in love with me. I can see her with Jasper, and it's unbelievable. How could he have the control to have sex with a human? Alice has been naughty indeed. They were supposed to gravitate towards each other. She was supposed to let Jasper go. Together we worked together. When I was too pent up Tanya was there to satisfy me. How they think I despise my mate…

I pulled back. I'd heard enough.

"So Edward Cullen… You think that by coming here we will not destroy you because you're remorseful over a humans death. A human whom you told the truth. You broke the cardinal rule. You should be put to death for that. But thinking that your gift will make you exempt, well you've got another thing coming… Why would we need you, when they have me? Oh… now you're afraid… I can't feel it, I can taste the fear in the room. You never cared for the human did you Edward? If Tanya is indeed your mate. You and Alice devised a plan to keep Jasper from fulfilling his destiny. A most beloved brother, you wanted him to stay the weak one, so that your father would commend you. So that you would be free to make the decisions. You and Alice manipulated everyone for your own personal gain. Well I have news for you Edward Cullen. I can read every thought you've ever had… That's right. I can… Now tell me… Should you have been so cruel to a human, who now had your fate in her hands…"

I lifted the veil from his eyes returning his senses. His fear was thick and permeated the room. He turned with his eyes as wide as saucers. His eyes raking over my voluptuous curves. His mouth opening and closing like a fish. But still he said nothing. I could hear Jasper's ragged breathing, he was attempting to control himself. I sent out a wave of calm and looked back at Edward. Venom dripping from my every word.

"SO Edward, we meet again. Hello. I'm Bella Swan Volturi. Pleased to meet you. So should we kill you?"

I don't want to die…

"Then why come if you did not want death…"

I wanted him to die.

His thoughts were loud as he jerked his head in Jasper's direction.

"Oh, you thought it would kill Jasper… Touching… FELIX, take this scum to the cellar. Chain him and make sure he doesn't drink any blood. We'll see if he could be of use to us yet."

"Yes, Ma'am" Felix replied coming in and grapping Edward.

I was surprised that Edward would go so willingly with Felix. I would have to talk to him some more when Jasper wasn't around.

"Bella…"

I turned casually to see Jasper standing there staring at me in awe.

"Jasper… I'm sorry, but you will have to leave."

I began to walk past him but he gripped my arm. I turned my gaze to him.

"I don't want to hurt you." I told him softly.

He let go, still looking at me in astonishment.

"You are to go back to the Cullen's. I wish to have a meeting with them all. I will give you a chance to speak. Only once I've had my closure."

I turned and walked from him, my heart breaking painfully in my chest. I felt the intense urge to run to him, but I couldn't. I wouldn't be strong enough to go through another heart ache, I'd learned my lesson the hard way. I wasn't about to make the same mistakes over again. I marched through the hallways to Aro's study and let myself in.

"You wanted to see me Master?"

"Ah, Isabella. Please come and sit." He smiled.

I sat down unceremoniously and stared at my creator.

"Yes?"

"You've been holding out on me my dear… with your extraordinary powers…"

I sighed and decided now would be better than later, "It appears Aro, That I'm a bit like a sponge. I absorb others powers and they stick."

"Remarkable. Which powers do you have at present."

"Mind reading present and every memory without a touch, Empath, Physical Pain, Blinding the senses, Making someone deaf, tracking, shielding mind and body… And some I have yet to tap in to." I told him.

He was smiling at me, "I believe Mr. Whitlock has left, shall we check on Mr. Cullen's current accommodations?"

I didn't always like Aro, but I liked the way he thought. We both stood and walked toward the door that would take us to the cellar. We descended the winding staircase and walked through the long narrow winding cooridors. It was like being in a maze. If a human ever came down here they would never find their way back out…

I walked through the rotting wooden door where Edward was chained to the wall. It gave me a sick twisted pleasure to see him at my disposal. I would break him… He looked up as if he could sense me. His eyes were dead and defeated.

"I believe you owe my newest guard member some explanations." Aro spoke curtly.

Edward looked up our gaze locking and he began.

"Alice always knew her and Jasper were never meant to be. She would have visions of him with a dark haired beauty, she was powerful, and very angry. When we moved to Forks, and I saw you… I knew who you were Bella. I had seen you in so many visions… But you weren't anything like the visions. You were shy and you were meek. You weren't the controlling vampire. Then your blood sang to me. Jasper wanted to kill you, Alice was in favor with him until I told them I wanted you… Alice saw then visions of us. We were happy, we grew side by side, as you got older I took care of you. When you passed on things went back to normal and Jasper and Alice were fine… But then right before your birthday she began to get visions of her true mate. She was wrong to have kept happiness from Jasper. Then when I almost attacked you… Well we left… We set into motion what should have always been. It was true Bella, never once did I love you. I kept our kisses chaste never giving you what you or your body truly craved. My own mate was understanding, knowing she would have to wait out a humans life to keep the family together. I did it for the family."

I could sense the truth in his words, but the pain the coursed through my dormant blood stream caused me to see red. I concentrated on him I could feel the fire he felt, but I was numb. His screams echoed the small chamber as I tortured him. His screams of agony and despair.

I pulled back when Aro's hand touched my shoulder. "This remarkable, powerful woman came to me for death. Which I couldn't kill her, she had much potential and I was right. She is resentful and very guarded emotionally. I think Mr. Cullen. We will decide your fate, and the fate of your coven and mate in the span of three days. I will call Carlisle. Bella. Call Jasper. He must say nothing about you."

I knew where he was going with this while part of me was over joyed to get closure. I needed to hear it from them. All of them. I wouldn't let them see me, I would question them individually. Nothing would ever be the same…

I left the torture chambers leaving Edward panting and gasping for unneeded breath. He would pay…

I pulled out a phone and dialed a number I'd seen once as a human and memorized as an immortal.

"Who is this?" Jasper answered warily.

"Change of plans. You are to return to your coven. Tell them we refused you but granted Edward… Aro is calling. You will all appear before us and I will have a chance to speak to everyone one at a time."

"Bella… What's happened to you?"

"I was brought into a world where I finally… You'll know everything soon enough. Goodbye for now."

I hung up the phone feeling the traitorous venom tears I would never spill. I raced to my private quarters and paced the room. I had so much pent up energy. Normally I would call Demetri or Felix, but knowing Jasper was my mate I felt as though it would be a betrayal to him. To continue giving myself to other men… I paced back and forth unable to come up with a proper decision…
