Okay technically it's Monday but it's not quite one in the morning yet and I did mean to post this on Sunday but I thought that this should just be one chapter instead of splitting it into two. So please forgive me about the delay.

Disclaimer: Well other than Tristan, Mia, Adam, Cedric and the plot I own nothing, but it is fun to mess around with the characters.


Bella POV

I slowly opened my eyes, I felt slightly refreshed but still this was such a weird feeling I'd been asleep or unconscious that doesn't happen to vampires. "Bella" I turned my head, it was Edward he was bound in the chains next to me. I growled at him, and tried to move, but I couldn't. I was too… tired. This wasn't right what happened, and then James arrived. He laughed at my confused expression. "Adam come in here and bring your brother." Smirking at me while he waited for them to get here. The elder one seemed to be fifteen, while the other only thirteen. James grinned, "Would you like me to introduce you, this is Cedric, he can make himself undetectable." The boy he pointed out was the youngest, of the two. "Then there is Adam." He gestured to the eldest, he was the one who drained my energy, I hissed at him, he would pay for making me so vulnerable. James ignored me and continued his smug speech. "As you've worked out he can drain energy and…" I didn't let him finish, I'd had enough, so I set him on fire. Edward started sniggering at James shrieking on the floor, the other two vampires seemed to be in shock. Sadly it didn't last. "Adam use you power!" James shouted. He snapped out of his trance, and focused on James. This was not looking good, Edward stopped laughing and stared waiting. We didn't have to wait long, James stopped screaming and got up off the floor. I was shocked this had never happened before. James came over too me and smashed my head into the floor, it didn't hurt but he broke my concentration, and Adam relaxed. "Well Bella I hope you enjoyed that if you had let me finish you would have found out using your power would have been pointless, though you did surprise me, Adam doesn't just drain you energy, he can drain energy from your power when you use it as well, making it as you saw totally useless. He can also give energy to other vampires." He then turned to Adam "Drain her energy till she's barely conscious and can't try that again." Adam walked over and placed his hand on my cheek again, till I had to fight to keep my eyes open. This was so not going as planned. "How are you still alive? we killed you" Edward whispered. James laughed "You think I was really so stupid as to actually meet her there. Of course not, I knew you'd find her and try to kill me. So I sent someone in my place. You know I'm a hunter, and it's so much easier to hunt if your prey already thinks your dead. Naturally I knew you'd change her, and if I hadn't killed her by then, I'd let her live and just kill one of your coven in exchange; but that was before, before you killed Victoria, now you are both going to die for that." He snarled glaring at us. "How? I read her thoughts she thought you were dead." James just grinned "It really wasn't that hard, I let her think that so she could project how she thought then when she came to kill you, by the time I informed her of what really happened she had already started her plan. She was going to kill you and bring Bella back to me, so she could know that you failed her. You were so smug and arrogant you never thought to look deeper into her mind, you just heard what you wanted to. Then it went wrong you killed her, the army was nearly destroyed, and the Volturi were coming, I had to leave."

"You thought she'd survive, that her ability would protect her." Edward said.

"Yes!" He hissed "I heard about your wedding, you know, Bella's transformation and the fire." He smiled. "That cheered me up, I wish I'd thought of it."

"Wait" I said "That wasn't you."

"Hmm no that wasn't me, that had a more Italian theme." He looked thoughtful for a moment. "Still enough about the past, how should I make you suffer." He paused "Ahh Cedric get the female prisoner." Mia! I hurriedly tried to think what could I do, nothing, James had kept Adam, and I didn't think I had enough energy to try burning him again anyway. I glanced at Edward, he seemed to be trying to break out of his chains, nice try but James would hear if he managed to get out. Then Mia was brought in.

Edward POV

I couldn't believe it. I had endangered everyone's life though my own arrogance. First by not even killing the right vampire, then by not looking deeper into Victoria's mind, and now I've dragged Mia into it, and Bella and her mate. If James wasn't already dead he'd be killing himself laughing at me. I have to say I was surprised at the Volturi burning the house, that wasn't like them, they did public executions, I knew that though personal experience, also if they did intend to kill us why didn't they bring Demetri to track us after, whoever planned it must have been very inexperienced at planning. Or maybe James was lying, or it could be another coven in Italy. All this was running through my head until James asked for the female prisoner to be brought in. Mia. No this was my fault she shouldn't pay for my mistakes. I frantically started trying to break out of my chains if I could just unlock them, without James knowing I could attack him, and maybe distract him enough to let Mia and hopefully Bella escape. However looking over at Bella I didn't think she'd be able to escape. Still I had to try, but that was before I saw Mia, and I knew there was no way she would be able to walk on her own much less run.

Bella POV

She looked terrible. Her eyes were completely black, and lent on Cedric, like she didn't have any energy. That's when I knew there was no way any of us were going to get out. I dreaded to think what had and would happen to Tristan. Cedric threw her on the floor, I glared at him, how dare he treat my friend like that. Edward was also glaring and growled at him, as he walked back to James and Adam James stepped forward again. "Well now lets see you're her best friend and you are her mate." He grinned evilly as he pointed to each of us in turn. "What a good starting place. Kill her." He turned to the brothers, as they walked forward and lunged at Mia.

"NOOO!" Edward and I screamed. I didn't have enough energy but I was not going to let Mia die, this time I focused my power on Cedric and James. I figured that Adam would have to stop and protect his brother and James, and that was if he could protect both of them. Edward dropped the subtle approach to escaping and started tearing and pulling at the chains. I was right Adam could only protect one, as they both fell to the ground Adam stopped attacking Mia and focused on his brother. Unfortunately I couldn't stop attacking Cedric as then Adam would start protecting James, and Cedric would continue to attack Mia or break my concentration. If I could hold on for another minuet James would die, but my energy levels were fading and I knew I couldn't keep it up for much longer. I gave a final push of energy and the flames roared higher round James, but I'd over done it and blacked out for the second time in as many days.

Edward POV

When Cedric threw Mia on the floor, I was furious I glared at him and growled, I was glad to see him back off with an edge of fear on his face. Then James stepped forward and I knew that something bad was going to happen. I tried to hear his thoughts, but he kept blocking me and I was too tired to try harder. Then he told them to kill Mia! I saw red I started yanking, pulling my chains, tried to get out so I could protect her. I saw Cedric and James drop to the floor, covered in flames Adam stopped and protected his brother. I looked over at Bella for a second and saw her concentrating on them both. In that moment I was so glad she was here, and that she was so selfless, she knew that she would be even weaker and even less able to protect Tristan when his time undoubtedly came, but he she was trying to protect Mia. I knew it wasn't out of love for me but I was still immensely grateful. However I could see that Bella wouldn't last much longer keeping the to of them covered in flames and with Adam draining some of the energy from her via her power, added on top of the fact that her energy levels were already dangerously low. I knew I needed to get out and help her but I couldn't break the chains. I had no idea what they were made of but it was impossible, and then just when James was about to die Bella collapsed. The fires stopped instantly, James was pretty badly wounded but her would live and Cedric and his brother were fine. Adam went over to James, probably to give him energy to heal while Cedric went back to Mia. With one last cry I tried to break out of the chains, and while I did manage to snap on link my other hand, and legs were still trapped. Adam came over to me and drained more of my energy, and went back over to give it to James. So I could only sit and watch as Mia burned.
