With little effort, I opened the doors that would lead to my future. Rose was next to me with a knowing look on her face. She knew that I had my powers back and that I wasn't going to play around this time. One thought quickly hit me. Alice can see the future once a decision was made. We couldn't have her screwing with my plans.

"Rose, we should visit Alice."

"Okay, sounds good to me," she said.

We were making our way down the main hall when suddenly, Alice and Jasper walked out of one of the rooms. I figured she would see us coming since we'd decided to do it.

"Hey there, Bella and Rose. What are you up to?"

"Well, we were out hunting earlier and figured we'd come back to visit with you guys. It's been so long since we spent time together." I figured flattery never hurt anyone.

I looked over to Rose and her eyes relayed she was about to make her move.

"Alice, why don't you and Jasper show us your room so we can catch up in comfort?"

"That sounds like a great idea."

They have no clue that they're being trapped here. I guess luring them in won't be so hard after all.

I could hear Alice's thoughts clear as day. My powers were back in full force now. So they were going to trap us? Now that was a funny thought. They were blind to the upcoming storm which made this even more fun.

"Our room is over there." Alice and Jasper smiled sweetly and started to walk toward their room.

Rose looked over to me and I gave her a quick nod. Game on, no more being nice to our so-called friends. As we entered the threshold, my breath was taken away. The room had a large sitting area with a loveseat, two sitting chairs, and an oversized sofa. From there, my eyes took in the large windows on the far wall, which were decorated with an ornate stained glass design. I could only imagine what the bedroom looked like.

"You've got a really nice room. Why don't we sit down and catch up?" I figured getting them to sit was the best option at this point.

"Sounds good to me," Jasper briefly spoke.

The emotions in the room don't feel like they suspect anything. Alice was right, this will work.

I smiled at his thoughts. If we kept our emotions in check, he wouldn't suspect anything was amiss. Also, it was good that neither of them knew I could hear their thoughts was even better. We collectively moved to the sitting area when Rose gave me a nudge and a smile. She sat in front of them and began to turn on the magic. She stared at the stunned couple and entranced them into her snare.

"Go, Bella, I've got these two," she said darkly.

I took off, looking for the rest of our friends. I knew I needed to move around where Carlisle was currently at so he couldn't get the jump on me before I worked through the rest of the castle. I closed my eyes, concentrating on the thoughts running through the castle.

Oh, yeah. Right there, baby.

This human is really hitting the spot.

Esme needs to stop worrying. I have faith in Alice and Jasper.

Bingo!

I knew that I needed to keep Carlisle's thoughts at the front of my mind so I could steer around him so I'd know instantly if he suspected anything. I worked my way down the hall and found the couple that was wrapped up in each other. I worked my magic, causing him to squeeze the vampire life out of her before I raised him up and with a flick of my wrist, ripped his limbs from his body. Needing to burn them quickly, I channeled fire from the nearby candles and pushed it toward the pieces. I used this same routine through all the rooms until there were only two left. Aro would have to wait for now because Carlisle was mine.

I need to speak with Carlisle as soon as possible. Things around here are getting chaotic. I can smell the burning vampires. He severely underestimates Isabella.

Aro's thoughts gave me great inspiration. If I could pull him over to our side, I'd be able to get to Carlisle in a different manner. Footsteps echoed down the hallway, heading in my direction. But I needed to find Rose and run before we were caught. Quickly making my way back to Alice and Jasper's room, I walked in and noticed Rose sitting on one of the chairs reading a magazine alone.

"Hey, Rose, what happened?"

"I got tired of those two, so I took care of them."

Shock hit me. "You killed them?"

She let out a quick laugh. "No, I may have hypnotized them in to fucking each other senseless."

"Nice, Rose. Glad you could keep them distracted. How long will it last?"

"Until I decide to drop the spell. Alice will continue to see visions of them together and Jasper will keep experiencing overwhelming feelings of lust."

"Great, that buys us enough time to figure out what our next steps should be. We need to talk to the guys before we move on."

Rose and I slipped out of the room and were making our way to the main entrance when the front doors opened. I grabbed Rose's arm and pulled her into a dark corner. She gave me a questioning look, but I kept my eyes glued to the front entrance. Before I could see the new visitor, I heard his voice inside my head.

Bella, it's me. I know you're around here. Emmett's waiting too, so let's go.

It was Edward, and relief took over my body. I quietly let Rose know the guys were outside and told her to make her way out. Once she cleared the front door, I looked around and finding the coast clear, stepped toward the door.

"Where the hell do you think you're going?" Carlisle said.

I turned toward him, slowly calculating the chance of using my power on him. I knew that I needed to wait since I didn't want to tip my hand just yet.

"I was just stepping out. I didn't see anyone." I said lamely.

Carlisle laughed. "That's the worst lie. I know you just killed several vampires in this place."

I remained calm because all Carlisle knew was that I killed some people. He still didn't know the full extent of my powers. I'm going to have to do this alone since my back up is outside somewhere. If I can draw him in I might have a chance.

"So what? You're surprised by what I did? I'm sure you of all people would do the same if you had the power to do it," I spat.

If Carlisle's face could change color it would be dark red with anger at that moment. He was shaking with rage. I wasn't afraid of him since I knew I could destroy him easily, but I'd wait until the time was right.

"Oh, Carlisle, calm down. Can't you see that Isabella is just coming into her own? You never gave our other children a hard time when they did the same," Esme chided.

I wasn't sure if she was for real or this was part of the plan, but from Carlisle's reaction this wasn't on his agenda. Before I could respond to Esme, I felt a presence that could be none other than my husband come up behind me.

"Hello, everyone. Hope I'm not interrupting anything," he said calmly.

"Edward, nice to see you again. Isabella was just enlightening us about her little adventures today." Carlisle was poking with his words to see if Edward would react.

"Well, if I know my wife, she probably just needed to stretch her powers out. She's been pent up lately and maybe you just thought something bad was happening."

Nice cover story, but so wrong. Oh well, if they bought the word vomit that Edward just shared then I didn't really care.

"How about I take Bella hunting, and we meet you here tonight to discuss what we will all do next? "

"I think that's a great plan. What do you say, Carlisle?"

"Of course, please excuse us. We'll meet you here in a few hours." Carlisle smiled at us.

Edward wrapped an arm around my shoulder as I leaned into his side. We left the house and ran towards the woods. Once there, we hunted and took down a few animals that came across our path. The thrill of the hunt took over and I needed my husband in that moment. I crouched down and he noticed immediately, taking his place in front of me. I let the animal inside take over, attacking Edward with all I had. He didn't resist but helped to enhance the experience. Once we'd had enough of each other for the moment, I knew we needed to talk about what had happened.

"Edward, we need to make a plan."

"I know, but I think there is something that you're forgetting. Without you, Carlisle is nothing. So right now, you just need to relax."

Edward and I walked back toward the center of Volterra. Before we reached the large fountain outside of the castle, someone in a dark cloak was standing in our path. As we got closer, the figure pointed a boney white finger toward a building to our left. The three of us entered the building quietly and walked into a room that held several vampires, including Rose and Emmett.

"Thank you for joining us today. Isabella, I've been waiting for you."

"Well, Aro, here I am. What do you want?"

"Revenge."

Let me know what you think. Until next time...
