Bella's POV

I feel like time has frozen, as I stand here, and wait for the volturi. Eleazar has told me quite a bit about them, since he has lived with them in the past. I hope they will let this young girl that surrendered live. I can't imagine being changed at such a young age. I thought seventeen is young. The poor girl is absoulty terrified of Jasper. I just hope the volturi will let her live. I will try to protect her as much as possible. Maybe if I'm lucky they won't notice her.

I am pulled out of my thoughts by the approaching Volturi. There are only four of them, but that doesn't mean I should underestimate them. When they pulled there hoods off, I realized who two of them were. Eleazar talked a great deal about Alec, and his twin Jane. They are truly to be feared because of their powers. However, my power can stop theirs so we really do have the upper hand.

Jane gives everyone a once over before turning her attention to Carlisle.

"Good evening, Carlisle. I see your coven has had some kind of newborn army issue. Too bad we didn't get here in time to assist you."

"Too bad indeed Jane, it would have been nice if we didn't have to do your job."

The grin on Jane's face vanished.

Alec made a clearing noise with his throat. Alec then introduced the rest of the Volturi. The big guy is Felix, and the smaller one is Demetri, and this is my lovely sister Jane.

"Carlisle I see you have some newcomers to your coven since the last time we met." Alec said as he met my eyes, and gave a small smile.

"Yes, Alec we do. This is Bella, and Bree." Carlisle said

I could tell Bree was shocked Carlisle lied for her. I saw the others shifting out of the corner of my eye, and could tell they were surprised also.

"Who sired you too?" Jane asked looking directly at Bree, and myself.

I went ahead, and answered for fear that they would realize Bree wasn't really with the Cullen's.

"I was turned by Eleazar of the Denali Coven." I said in a casual tone.

That got Demetri's attention. "Eleazar turned you? He must have seen some kind of potential power in you. Tell me Eleazar's newborn do you have a power?"

Demetri "Yes, I do. I am a mental shield. I can block others powers." I didn't dare tell him I can extend my shield.

"I am impressed! You have sparked my interest Miss Bella." Felix said

Jasper gave him a nasty mean mug. I'm just glad no one else had anytime to notice the daggers Jasper was staring into him.

"Well you have sparked my interest also Bella! Can I try it out?" Jane beamed at me with hope in her eyes.

I was up for anything as long as I got the attention off of Bree. "Sure, I suppose so."

"Excellent!" She reminded me of a evil Alice. She may not be evil, but she certainly gives that impression. stood there a few minutes trying to use her power, I guess.

"Nothing at all?" Jane said

"Well isin't that nifty!" Jane gave me a huge grin clearly impressed.

"What if we try it at the same time, can you block us both?" Alec asked

I gave him a small nod indicating it was.

I couldn't see Jane trying to use her power like I could Alec. His power was a white fog mist, and when it hit my shield it died out.

Alec was flabbergasted. "Well that's different."

Alec turned his head, and said "Demetri what do you think?"

"The girl is very talented I can see. She can also block my tracking skills. Bella, you are welcome to come back to Volterra with us. I am sure Aro would love to meet you, and we would love to have you as a member of the guard." Demetri said with a genuine smile on his face.

I could see Jasper's form became tense when Demetri asked me to go to Volterra.

"I would love to meet Aro, and his brothers Demetri, but I don't think right now that is possible. I really miss my family in Denali, and need to check on them before i make any plans." I said Which in fact was true I did miss them. Mainly Carmen, El, and Kate, but Irina and Tanya were still in my thoughts. However, when I went home, I would just miss the Cullens, they have become like family to me. Hopefully I can get them to come join us in Denali. I couldn't wait to tell El, and Carmen that I found my mate.

"Well the offer stands Bella." Felix said then gave me a wink. I felt Jasper tense up again. Hopefully they would leave before he says something he might regret.

"Thank you and I appreciate that." I said

Carlisle, what about you're other new member, does she have any special ability?" Demetri asked

"Not that I know of Demetri." Carlisle said

"I see." Bree do you have any abilities?" Demetri asked her as if he was talking to a small child.

"No sir." She squeaked

Well that's too bad. I wonder why Carlisle changed you then." Demetri asked while giving Carlisle a pointed look.

"He didn't change me sir. I was changed for this fight, by Victoria."

"Well then I'm sorry that you have to die for your sire's mistakes." Felix said

I could see Carlise, Esme, Edward, Alice, and Emmett getting ready to act if need be. They wouldn't allow them to kill a innocent girl.

"Jane let Alec do it, so it's not so painful." Demetri said

I had my shield firmly in place, and wasn't going to let it down. "Please don't kill her there must be another way?" I pleaded"

"There is no other way Bella. The Volturi has made their decision." Demetri said

"Alec please proceed." Said Demetri

I see the white fog that is Alec's power make its way toward Bree. I wrap her in my shield, and hope for the best. "Alec what is taking so long? Please numb her so we don't have to hear her screams, and she doesn't have to feel the pain." Demetri said

"Maybe I can fix your problem. The reason Alec's power isn't working is because I can project my shield to others. I won't let you kill this innocent girl. Please there must be another way for her to live without there being another war. I don't want to create enemies, where there was an almost friendship just a few moments ago.

"Wait you can extend your shield?" said Felix looking confused.

"Yes, I can."

"I thought we were on the road to friendship also Bella. So since I'm going to consider you a friend, I will make you a deal regarding the girl's life." Demetri said

"Here is the deal. We will spare the girl, only if you come with us back to Volterra. The decision is yours friend." Demetri said

I thought Jasper might lose his cool a couple times while we had this conversation with the volturi, but he didn't. Well when Demetri spoke those words all hope of him keeping it went out the window.

"It will be a cold day in hell before my mate goes anywhere with you! I have stood here, and kept my mouth shut, but not now. If you want a war than you got it; because I am pretty damn sure we can take you on Demetri." Jasper spat.
