A/N: THANKS! I love reading all your reviews, it's my inspiration to continue! Hope you enjoy this next chapter, it's going to be a bit until I get posting with the New Years Holiday coming quick. Enjoy!
I. W. Cullen: hehe, yes Isabella is bipolar in some ways. She did go through a lot of trama in her years as a vampire, but ssshh spoilers ;)
ShadowCub: yes it's 500 years in the future, but I have held off for a bit on the technology. I figured there was enough going on for now without having to explain new tech's every couple chapters.
====Onward and Outward!
Issabella POV
After countless hours of planning, we finally had a plan to deal with these...friends of Carlsile. As unfortunate as it was, Edward wouldn't be able to get as slow and painful a death as I would have liked. The only real glitch in our plan was the rest of Cullens. None of us knew how they would react to what we planned, and we could only hope that they sat still for their own good. Cackling evilly, Aro stood back and rubbed his hands together.
"This is a brilliant plan, you should be proud of your daughter for putting it together!" Aro said looking me in the eye.
"Yes I am always proud of my daughter Aro, no matter her actions or plans." I replied with a smirk. "However, we should probably rejoin the others, since we only have a few minutes until our new guests arrive." I said checking my phone for the hundreth time.
"Yes who are these...Pack of yours Issabella? I don't recall seeing them in any memories?" Aro asked slyly.
"Doesn't matter, it only matters that they will be our secret weapon IF needed. Although with Jane and Renesme, I doubt we even need the other guards. They seem to be quite adapt at working together." I puncuated it with a shudder as I moved away from the two of them. They had come up with such an evil but brilliant plan to avoid bloodshed it scared me. She might have been my daughter, but at that moment she was all anger and fury. Controlled but still simmering just below the surface I could also see lots of hurt and pain.
"Let us go meet the Cullens and inform them of their punishment. Then we shall meet the rest of Carlsile's friends and show them who the Volturi are. This uprising will not be allowed to spread beyond this town no matter the cost to us.
Stepping outside, I could see the worried looks on everyone's faces. Giving a smirk to Alice and Rosalie I blatently ignored the rest of the Cullens. Turning I gave the Pack a measured look then grabbed Jake and pulled him to the side.
"Jake, no matter what happens, you keep my daughter safe. Even if you have to knock her out, I want her to be alive after this." I muttered softly so only he would hear me.
"Are you that worried? The Pack is willing to help no matter what the cost. These leeches won't get to you or Renesme." he replied just as softly.
"Just take care of her" I replied stepping away as my daughter approached.
"Ready Mom?" Renesme asked me with worry in her voice.
"Honey if I wasn't ready I wouldn't be here or doing this. I'm fine and can't wait for this to be over." I replied with a bit of anger as I saw the glare Edward was shooting me. I headed to the entrance of the cave, and didn't wait for everyone to follow. They followed anyway, and everyone looked warily around once we had reached the forest. As I turned to say something, Alice fell forward then gave a look of horror to me. I returned it with a grin and shook my head no, wisely she choose to give the lesser of two evils to her family.
"They are here." She said as shapes began to form on the edges of the clearing. Coming together we faced an army of over two dozen vampires with an even mix of red and yellow eyes. Opening my mind link to include Jane and Aro I listened as Aro prioritized and identified them in his head. He pointed out the Irish Coven, and the Denali Coven before naming half a dozen others that I didn't bother to listen to. Tuning out I stepped forward as did a female from the other group "Tanya" I heard from behind me.
"How nice of you all to join us. You shall get the honor of bearing witness to the punishment that occurs when a newborn is abandond after turning." I said calmly.
"Oh really, I don't see any newborn here, I see the Cullens, a family that has done nothing to hurt the Volturi at all." Tanya replied getting more upset at seeing the dent in Edwards shoulder. She gave a nod to Aro and Jane who were the only visible Volturi around as the others had hid in the tunnel behind us.
Looking back I gave the Pack a nod and they roughly pushed Edward forward to kneel in front of me, still in their human forms. "Edward Cullen, you stand accused of turning me into a vampire, then leaving me to die and live on my own. What say you to these charges?!" I said with authority. I heard a gasp and look up as the gathered vampires, so called friends of the Cullens as they muttered amongst themselves.
"I plead not guilty, I didn..." I cut him off by slapping him hard across the face.
"Your excuses are not necessary as we have a truthsear with us. Turning I motioned for Aro and Jane to walk forward. "Aro if you would be so kind as to show the crime, I will project it so everyone can see."
"So be it Issabella," he said stepping forward and briefly placing a hand on my arm. "Stay strong dear." He said stepping past me and placing his other hand on Edwards forhead. Visions began to flood my head, then the one I feared but needed to show came out bright and clear. groaning a little with the effort, I projected my thoughts into that of everyone gathered, leaving the protection of my body and mind to Renesme and Jake.
Flashback/Mind Share
He had said he had to leave so I asked him to give me something to remember him by. With a sad smile he leaned in for a kiss, moving quickly to suprise him, I tackled him to the ground and began to grind against his lower half, as I kissed him desperately. Maybe he would change his mind after this. He growled and tried to throw me off but I simply wrapped my legs around him and grabbed his shoulders.
"I want this" I breathed in his ear. He stiffened instantly then began to slowly reach down and undo his pants. Reaching up he ripped off my shorts and panties in one quick movement.
"This will hurt, are you sure?" he asked with a sigh.
"Yes I only want you Edward, please don't leave me here as a human!" I said in the same lust filled tone as before.
Without answering he thrust himself into me, taking my virginity. As he did, he bit my shoulder and I could feel the venom begin to enter my bloodstream He didn't seem to notice that he had bit me, and after a few minutes of him thrusting he seemed to notice that I wasn't moving...why couldn't I move?!
"Bella? Bella?!" he cried just holding me tight for god knows how long. When I didn't reply he reached over and felt for a heartbeat. "What have I done!" he screamed to the sky, then was gone. Just left me here in the forest, to die...
I groaned and cut the connection to everyone. I curled into a ball on the ground, and I could feel Jake and Renesme surround me with their bodies and love. I couldn't do this, "I thought I was strong enough but I can't." I said the last part in a whisper.
"You are strong enough Mom, and if not, I can help you...Just let me help you!" Renesme answered with force. I could feel the hurt and love mixed in her voice.
After a few minutes I gathered it together long enough to stand up and face both groups of vampires. Edward was still kneeling in front of me, and Jane was hovering close by with a hand extended in his direction.
"Now you all see the crime that Edward committed. It falls on me to decide his fate according to Volturi law." I stated, my voice like glass.
"Isn't there another way Issabella?" Alice asked with a sad whisper from behind me.
"No" I said with conviction. "He has done enough damage to me, I will have what is due to me. Only his DEATH will fulfill the pain he put me through." I turned to see a quick movement then was tackled before I could react.
"YOU WILL NOT TOUCH HIM!" Tanya was screaming in my face as the rest of her coven attacked and tried to get Edward into the forest. She reached down and tried to rip my arm off, I countered and put her arm behind her back.
"You will stop now or you will ALL share his fate!" I yelled over the clearing to those still fighting. Everyone froze, then turned at looked at me holding Tanya's head in my hands. With a nod they all backed down and got back into a group surrounded by the now visible Volturi guards. I noted that the Irish Coven had all fallen under Jane's power, and that my daughter was holding onto Edward who was making a pained face. "Poor Tanya, just had to try and help Edward out. You made a mistake coming here, and I will forgive it, IF you give your word that you will never visit Forks or bother me again.
"Why would I do that, your going to kill Edward, so I mind as well share his fate. She sent a shock through her arm and it mildly annoyed me.
"You will stop doing that now, or I will show you the FULL extent of my powers." I commanded sternly to her shocked face. Even Aro took a step away from the feral expression on my face.
"How are you..." I cut her off.
"Blocking you? I'm a shield, and a telepath, and an empath so please JUST STOP!" I yelled to the few nomads that were just arriving and starting trouble. Sighing I leaned over and found Tanya's worst memory of Edward, when he dumped her for me. Then I started to loop it over and over in her head, amplifying the devistation she felt to the highest level I could. Within seconds she crumbled to the ground mouth open in a soundless scream. After a minute she started to scream, such a high pitched scream everyone flinched to hear it. Ignoring her for the moment I walked over and grabbed Edwards head. Carlsile was instantly at my side holding my arm.
"Please Issabella, there must be another way, he's my son!" Carlisle cried to me, practically begging for his son's life.
"He made his choice when he left me, if you or anyone else wants to join him, feel free to stand in line. If you want to live...I recommend letting go of my arm and stepping back." I said calmly, preparing to hurt him like I did Tanya.
With a sigh he made the smart choice and stepped back and away from me. "Edward I'm sorry my son, rest in peace."
Stepping forward I grabbed Edwards head, as I began to pull up, I felt a feather light touch on my arm. Stopping I turned quickly to look at the offender, only to find Rosalie nose to nose with me.
"I'd like to say goodbye if I may Issabella." She stated sadly.
I dont' know why, but something about the way she looked made me say yes. I watched as she walked over to Edward and kneeled down in front of him. She gave him a hug and whispered sadly in his ear. I turned slightly to give them some privacy, then I heard a loud crack followed by a startled gasp from Renesme. Spinning back around I looked and saw Rosalie kneeling but Edward was nowhere to be seen. Then I saw the empty shell that used to be her necklace with the green lights of a battery and portable cloaking device and it clicked. She just helped Edward to escape...as the shock set in, I looked to see all of the Cullens kneeling around her like a shield. The Irish Coven had fled along with the nomads, and the Denail Coven were gathered around Tanya trying to follow them. I glared at Rose with respect but also anger...she was sssoooo gonna regret that I thought with an evil grin.
