Hey guys! So I've been racking my brains trying to think of another chapter for you guys, but the way I left the last chapter was just too perfect... So I'm not gonna hold back any more =D

Before I get to the chapter I just wanna answer a question. Erin asked why Edward and Alice couldn't just take her out during the night, it's because they need a plan, vampires don't sleep, they would hear them. =D

Ok now that it's cleared up I REALLY hope you enjoy this chapter =D


The plan came a few hours after Bella had fallen asleep, and I silently cursed myself for not thinking of it sooner, because now we'd missed the flight we'd booked and didn't know if we'd be able to get another one.

As the plan formed itself in my head at a rapid rate I saw Alice's head snap up from filing her nails and I looked into her eyes that were full of joy.

Edward you are a genius!

"Will it work?" I asked.

As the words came out of my mouth I saw Alice's vision and I smiled. It would come true this time.

I formulated another plan in my head, one which Alice had promised me would come true. When I'd discovered Alec beating Bella I was going to kill him then and there, but Alice had promised that I would be able to eventually. She'd seen him dead. That was the only thing that calmed me down, knowing I would have justice eventually. And now I would.

Alice stood up immediately knowing there was barely time to lose. She knelt down by us as I shifted Bella in my arms. She moved, mumbling something incoherently and snuggling deeper into my chest almost making me be stunned in admiration.

Edward... Alice groaned and I looked back up at her, shooting an apologetic glance her way.

I moved one hand to lift the medicine from my robes. It was the perfect scenario, we'd give Bella a double dose of it, and then bring her out to Aro... Dead.

And the fact that they were having a party with numerous humans with heartbeats would disguise Bella's no matter how faint it was.

I handed Alice the bottle and she poured some into the lid before bringing it to Bella's lips. The contact made Bella move again and she sighed, opening her mouth enough to let Alice drop the liquid down her throat. She swallowed instinctively and I almost laughed as she cringed with the taste. Alice gave her another drop and then I pulled her into my chest gently until it worked.

Both Alice and I listened as Bella's heartbeat became so faint it was barely a flutter of butterfly wings. Her breathing became shallow and I watched her until it looked like she'd stopped breathing altogether. The medicine was Carlisle's invention. It made the body seem dead... It was completely vampire proof. The heartbeat quieted and didn't beat as much as was normal, making the body go into anaerobic respiration. Obviously no human could live by respiration with no oxygen, so it only worked for a certain amount of time. That amount of time had to be enough to get Bella out.

I watched as she became paler and I touched her cheek lightly, her warm skin was cooling down. They were the other affects of the medicine. Because the heart was only beating faintly the blood was only transferred to the main necessities, meaning it didn't travel to the surface of her skin.

Alice gave a swift nod suddenly and I knew it was time. I stood up, my heart lurching in my chest. It would take one thing to go wrong, one thing and we'd all be dead.

We were about to walk into a room full of at least fifty vampires, we'd be dead in seconds.

I handed Alice the key as I held Bella gently and she opened the door. We walked down the corridor, and I moved Bella's body to make it look more convincing, but also so that I didn't hurt her. I pushed her arm unwillingly away from my chest so it was swinging as we walked and her head lay on my lower arm uncaringly.

Alice and I put on our "Volturi faces" as we came to the door. Everyone was happy, enjoying the meals we'd brought back and making jokes with Aro, Caius and Marcus. Alice opened the door and everyone turned to the sound.

Some of them were standing with a human in their arms, several on the brink of death and others still alive and aware of what was happening. Others lay on the floor, drained of blood and looking like Bella did now.

Aro looked at us with curious eyes before glancing down at Bella who lay like a corpse in my arms. His eyes narrowed, "What's wrong Edward?"

I swallowed, making my voice composed, "She's dead." I said clearly, my voice not holding an ounce of care or consideration.

Aro's eyes widened, "I don't understand dear boy..."

"When Alice and I were out helping collect the meals for tonight's party, Alec went into the cell and beat Bella." I heard gasps from across the room, one coming from Alec, "We tried to save her... We've been working these past two hours... But it was no use... She's gone."

Aro's face stayed expressionless for a long moment. But I could hear his thoughts, and his anger was building considerably as he took in Bella's pale complexion, her still chest and her silent heart.

His eyes flashed to Alec suddenly and he raised his fingers to beckon him, "Alec." He muttered.

Alec walked slowly, his eyes never leaving Aro's and eventually he came to a stop by him. Everyone was watching now, and Alec feared for his life.

As he should. I thought to myself bitterly.

Aro placed his hand out flat and everyone knew what he wanted. Alec placed his hand in Aro's and his eyes closed. I watched with Aro as he witnessed Alec's beating, as he punched and kicked the life out of my Bella. I felt my stomach muscles clench and I tried to keep my face composed as Alice hushed me in her thoughts.

Aro opened his eyes again and I saw the fire there. Alec had killed Aro's most prized possession. He'd spent years tracking her down from the time she was a child, that one person that would truly make the Volturi invincible... And now she was dead.

Aro looked at me and smiled slightly, "You know what to do with her." He mumbled.

I nodded once and glanced at Alec. "Aro." I called, my eyes never straying from him.

"Yes?" He was pissed, his voice was full of rage.

I tried to stop my smile, "You have a party to attend to... I'll take care of Alec." I said, moving my eyes back to him.

He smiled and sighed thankfully, "Yes Edward... That would be brilliant, thank you."

I smiled, "No problem."

Alice and I began to walk towards the main doors which led outside to the incinerator and Alice motioned for Alec to follow.

Alec swallowed and took a deep breath before making his legs move towards us. He glanced back at Jane and I glanced at her from the corner of my eye. She was staring wide eyed at her brother, deeply hurting for what was about to happen to him, but she knew the rules of the Volturi. There was nothing she could do for him now.

Alice led the way through the long winding corridors until we came to the doors that led outside. We stood next to the incinerator and Alec looked up at it with a blank expression.

I looked at Alice, "Can they hear us?"

She smiled, "Nope. They're enjoying the party again... Though Aro is still pretty pissed."

I smiled and walked towards her, placing Bella in her arms lightly.

I turned towards Alec as my smile disappeared and he took in my expression, "A-Aren't you going to throw her in?" he asked.

I laughed once, "I would... If she was dead."

His brows furrowed, but I didn't give him a chance to speak. I moved forward within a millisecond and pinned him against the wall with my arm at his neck. His eyes widened and he tried to speak.

I gripped his face with my other hand and sneered at him, "How dare you touch Bella... How fucking dare you! You're nothing but a piece of scum... I'm disgusted to even have to touch you. You make me sick."

"What are you talking about?" he bit out quickly.

I pressed harder, "I would say 'If you ever touch the love of my life again I will kill you'... But I'm going to anyway... And you're not going to get to the chance to touch her."

Alec's eyes widened and his thoughts screamed at me, The love of his life?

I laughed, the sound seeming evil even to me. I looked back at him, "Why do you think I came here? I came to rescue her you filthy leech."

As he opened his mouth to speak I tore at his jaw and then his arms, moving so fast it was a blur to me. I enjoyed it as I tore him apart, moving swiftly to his legs after I'd finished with his upper body. My fury was well vented as I pictured him torturing Bella, it only made me pull harder and more painfully...

I stopped moving when I realised I'd torn him more than was needed and I glanced at Alice. She smiled at me gently, and took something from her pocket. She threw it towards me and I smiled down at the lighter and fuel pack she'd prepared.

I opened the bottle and threw it over his remains before striking the lighter and throwing it down onto his limbs. I watched momentarily as he burned, reliving the moments over in my head again before turning back to Alice and Bella.

As soon as I laid eyes on Bella I felt guilty. I didn't know why, I just felt like I hadn't done enough... He'd put her through so much and I'd killed him in less than two minutes...

But it was over now... And Alec would never hurt her again.

I walked towards them and took Bella back in my arms again, kissing her forehead softly.

Realising we didn't have much time left we jumped over the high wall in one quick, lithe movement. Once over we started running, thankfully my movements didn't affect Bella as she lay sleeping and no more pain was caused to her than was already coursing through her body.

We reached Alice's Porsche that she had purchased when we'd arrived in Italy and she opened the trunk quickly, her arms moving like wildfire.

She motioned to move towards a dark street and I followed her lead as she ran down it, carrying bags she'd taken from the trunk.

She ran until she came to street lined with old shops and cafes. The street was desolate, not a person in sight and Alice moved towards one of the cafes. She took a hairclip from her hair and fiddled with the lock on the door.

She had it open in seconds and she slipped through the door into the darkness. I looked for the bathroom and handed Bella over to Alice as she turned. Alice threw me my bag and walked into the ladies with Bella.

I walked to the men's and changed within seconds, slipping into the light blue shirt and dark jeans Alice had packed before we'd arrived.

I threw my robes into the bag and walked outside and sat on one of the tables, fiddling with my fingers nervously as I waited. Time was ticking by, they could've found out by now. Alice came out again less than a minute after me, dressed in silk top and skinny jeans. She had Bella in her arms, dressed in a warm blue jumper and jeans.

I took Bella from her again as we left the cafe. Alice locked the door once again and replaced her hairclip.

We ran to the car and got in. Alice drove while I sat in the back with Bella.

Alice raced to the airport and as we neared I checked Alice's handbag for our passports and money.

With the empty roads and Alice's hectic driving we'd left Volterra and arrived at the airport within fifteen minutes.

We jumped out of the car, still having not spoken a word to each other.

I looked at her, "Alice how are we going to get through with Bella? She's asleep?"

Alice smiled, "You'll see."

We walked into the airport, only a few people sat in the chairs or stood by the check in desks, but thankfully no-one stood at the ticket desk.

Alice and I walked over, ignoring the stares we got from onlookers. Alice smiled at the guy at the desk and as he looked up he became awestruck with Alice's beauty.

She fluttered her eyelids and I suppressed a laugh. "Excuse me. We missed our flight to Seattle earlier this evening... We were wondering if there's another... Now."

The guy blinked back into reality and looked down at the computer. He flicked through it and smiled up at us, "There are three seats on the red eye. Would you like me to book you the seats."

Alice laughed, "Yes please."

He worked at the computer for a long moment and I felt my nerves stretch to breaking point as we waited.

Alice handed over the credit card and soon enough three pieces of paper came out of the printer and I sighed in relief. The man handed them to Alice and she smiled, giving him a wink as we left the booth.

"Seriously Alice?" I laughed, "Could you be more obvious?"

"Just wait. It's your turn soon."

Sure enough Alice was right. After we'd gone through check in, found our gate number, went through security and lined up to get on the plane I spotted a blonde haired girl at the door taking tickets and checking passports.

Once again I took Bella's and my own passports from my pocket. We had gotten Bella's passport before we'd left Forks and I was so proud to be able to use it now.

We got to the woman and I smiled at her as she glanced from Alice to Bella and then me. She took in a ragged breath and I smiled wider at her over generous thoughts. I handed her our passports and Alice handed her the tickets. She glanced at them and then handed them back to us before glancing at Bella.

She opened her mouth to speak, but I cut her off, "So how long have you been working here?"

Her thoughts were blown up in a whirlwind, "Umm... T-Two years..."

"Two years? You're far too young and pretty to be working here for that long..."

"Pretty?" she asked incredulously.

I nodded, "In fact, I was wondering..." I leaned in closer to her and whispered in her ear, "Could I maybe get your number?"

She gasped and pulled back to look at me for a long moment. Then she lifted the pen from her podium and a spare sheet of paper. She wrote the number quickly and I took it as the three of us passed discretely through the doors.

"I'll call you." I shouted after her and I watched as she smiled and blushed before turning back to the other passengers.

Within the next five minutes we were on the plane and I let out a breath in relief. I still couldn't believe we'd done it... It was over. We'd gotten Bella out of there...

She was coming home.

I smiled as I glanced down at her sleeping body. Her breathing picked up and I heard her heartbeat become more evident to me now. I smiled and kissed her forehead lightly and as I did she moved closer to me. I wrapped my arms around her more, careful not to hurt her ribs or shoulder and she sighed, mumbling something so distorted I could barely make it out, but I could've sworn she'd said Edward...

The journey back to Seattle was long. Not only had we taken the red eye, but also a straight journey there. I was thankful for this, because it meant Bella could sleep without being disturbed.

We reached Seattle in the morning and once again we got into Alice's Beetle and she drove back to Forks, moaning about morning traffic and speeding when she could.

Everything was back to normal again...

Alice drove quickly up the drive, overly excited to see our family again and also surprise them with us turning up unexpectedly since neither of us had told them we were actually coming home.

She skidded up the last stretch of the lane and stopped the car with a jerk, making Bella mumble as she lay in my arms.

I looked up at the massive house, finally glad to be home and with my beautiful Bella by my side.

I saw Emmett come running to the window, probably thinking it was an attack on the house, but once he saw Alice's car a smile broke out across his face.

"Eddie! Alice!" he laughed, then he gasped, "Bella!"

The whole family were beside him then, all looking out the window at us, the perfect welcome home.

Alice and I got out of the car and Bella moved to crush her face more into my chest. I laughed to myself, she'd cut of my family's vision of her, so they couldn't see her beautiful face.

We walked up the steps and Esme opened the door to us with a massive smile on her face and love in her eyes, "You're back! You said you weren't coming!"

"Change of plan... Edward got inspiration." Alice said as she hugged Esme and then Carlisle. Alice moved around the family, finally coming to Jasper and they kissed passionately after being separated for so long.

After Alice had hugged them they all looked at me and Bella in my arms. Every one of their faces was full of happiness and love and I couldn't help but smile back at them.

"How is she?" Carlisle asked.

"She was frail as it was before... Then Alec beat her, that's why we thought we couldn't get home... She has broken ribs and she dislocated her shoulder, but I put it back in again." Everyone gasped as I spoke and I gritted my teeth as I thought of what they'd done to her.

"And Alec?" Emmett asked.

I looked at him, "Dead."

"That's my Eddie boy." He laughed.

I smiled and then glanced at Bella, "Look can I tell you the whole story later? I want to get Bella into bed."

"Yes of course." Esme said, touching my arm and guiding me upstairs. We came to my bedroom and she opened the door quickly, ushering me in.

I walked to the bed, pulled back the covers and then very gently laid Bella down in it. I pushed her hair away from her face and pulled the covers over her to keep her warm.

Esme gasped, "She's so beautiful Edward..." she breathed.

I smiled, sitting on the edge of the bed, "I know."

I turned to look at her and saw everyone standing there, gazing at Bella.

Alice smiled, "The new addition is home."

I looked back at Bella and smiled, touching her cheek lightly, "Yes she is..."
