Chapter 10

Getting Rid of the Trash

Edward's eyes shone with love, but it was easy to sense the fear and concern he held in his heart.

"I'll be back. Do you hear me?" I asked when his eyes became somber once more. He nodded and sighed deeply.

"I worry. It's not every day I find a person as wonderful and amazing as you. To lose you… it would kill me."

"Look at me Edward. I have no fear. I will be back in your arms. You have my word. The only thing you and our family have to do is make sure your side of the plan goes well the rest is up to us. And make sure to give us that signal or else we're doomed. And I sincerely doubt that we'll take the whole week. We'll be here in time. I promise." I put my hand over my heart.

I ran my finger along his jaw, savoring the feel of his soft flesh. I kissed his lips once more and stood from his bed. I made my way downstairs with him in tow, and was met with six pairs of concerned eyes. I smiled and gave each of them a hug, and with a few reassuring words, and a kiss to Edward, I jumped back to my home where Ari and I agreed to meet.

"So where are we going anyways?" Her face was calm but I saw an undeniable sadness on her face, which was most likely due to the fact that she had to part with Jacob, the pack and the Cullens. I'm sure the same expression was on my face.

"We have to find help, then Volterra" She nodded slightly with a grimace on her face, and I reached out to grab her hand.

"Hey, we can do this. You know that right?"

"Yea it's just-"Her eyes widened. And a blush whose color rivaled a tomato appeared on her face. "You're going to be very mad at me.

"And why is that?"

" I may have forgotten to tell Jacob the entire plan because we started making out?" She backed away slightly seeing the scowl that I gave her.

To sum it up, the plan was to unite forces (The Cullens and the Quileute wolf pack) so that we can destroy incoming threats. The Cullens' job was to distract any incoming vampires towards the trap we had set for them. The same went for the Wolves, as we had set the same location for the traps. All the wolves had to do is egg on the intruders, who would in turn follow them,Then they had to lead them to the trap and get out in time.

"Must I always be the responsible one?" I sighed "What did you forget?" I grabbed my cell phone that was strapped on my mid-thigh and dialed Jacob Blacks number.

" I only told them what was happening and didn't get to tell him what the plan was." She said quietly. I began walking away from Forks, for possibly the last time. My heart felt heavy with the knowledge that I was leaving my other half here to fend for himself.

"Yello?" a chipper voice exclaimed. I jumped; being lost in one's own thoughts can have its disadvantages.

"Hello Jake. It's Bella. Since you and my sister couldn't keep your hands to yourselves for five minutes to discuss important plans, I guess it will be me telling you what you and your pack will be doing"

"Woah, woah. woah! Slow down, I don't take orders from anybody 'cept Sam." His voice was supposed to be scary, but the growl I gave him in return shut him up. I was getting really annoyed by these small mistakes. "okay okay what is it. ?"

" Good, now listen carefully. Sometime in the next week you WILL be attacked Werewolves, but not your type of werewolves. They will try and chase you out of your lands. They will not leave your trail until they are sure they've really got you out. All you and your pack have to do is lead them to the location we've set on the border. It will be very dangerous. Make sure you all stick together and lead them there. You will have to coordinate with the Cullens in order to secure the time you get there as the trap will only go off once and they also have vampires that will be chasing them. Ill text you Carlisle's number. I want you to have at least two of your wolves, preferably the youngest two, stay on the reservation just in case some of the werewolves decide to wreak havoc early. Lastly, I must stress the importance of this last piece of information. GET OUT BEFORE THE TRAP GOES OFF. It will not know the difference between you or an enemy. After that there will be much, much more happening so once Ari and I are signaled, we'll be there. Until then, you'll be getting some friendly company many old friends of ours will be arriving shortly. You got that?. "

"Uh yea. But why aren't you going to be here?"

"I have some… errands to run, but we're going to try our hardest to get there in maybe two days."

After I had explained the same things to the Cullens earlier this morning they had begun to fire off dozens of questions at a time and a small smile played on my lips at the memory.

I ended the phone call and sighed with tense resignation. The air that was whipping through my hair offered little to no comfort. Instead it chilled me to the bone, and brought a sick feeling to the pit of my stomach. I grabbed my sister's hand and together we jumped to all over the world in search of allies. We found allies in giants, witches, vampires, goblins, shape shifters, and fallen angels who weren't actually evil, but had stayed on earth to long and got stuck.

"You feel that Ari?" She nodded mutely. We were flying over the Mediterranean after finding the fallen angels. We were just passing over the coast of Italy when my skin began to feel as if I had bugs crawling all over, and my heart began to beat frantically.

"Ari! Stop we have to go down there." She looked at my face and nodded. We landed on the sandy beach, but as our dresses pooled at our feet I smelled the distinct iron scent that came with blood. I followed the trail of blood into our home on the beach, and I looked around seeing as the trail ended. I was looking around and saw our home in disarray. I detected the sweet smell of vampire immediately and tensed when I noticed the bloody handprints on the door frame. Ari's face was contorted with a pained expression and her mouth was an 'o'.

"I hope he's okay." She whispered.

Attached next to the handprints was a small piece of paper. There was an elegant script on the paper

My dear Isabella and Arielle Swan,

Your human friend lives no more. Your effort is futile.

We have fooled you sweet girls. You have left your loved ones alone and unprotected. It will take you days to return home and by the time you get there everyone you love will be dead. You have flown all this way for no reason. Your only option is to resign yourself to an empty life of misery.

With love, Aro

These words made me want to laugh and cry. Perhaps he didn't know of our jumping , or maybe he was just ignorant of the fact that we are angels and had the ability to be anywhere we wanted within seconds. Obviously he had not expected us to fight or even find our way around him. The pain I felt at the first sentence was pushed back and I focused on getting Donovan back. I forced myself to believe Aro had been lying.

I wiped my eyes and took hold of Arielle's hand. "Time to kill some evil vamps."

We jumped to Volterra, and looked at the beautiful castle from outside and smiled sadly. What a waste! Such a beautiful castle. I listened for a moment and noticed the streets were empty. The sun was barely just rising and I didn't sense a human soul anywhere near the castle. We put on deep red cloaks, and changed our appearances to chalky skin with blood red eyes. We easily bypassed numerous vampires who were oblivious to our intrusion. Many just nodded our way and continued walking.

" No! They aren't going to fight back. I made sure of it. Those silly women have lost hope. I made sure of it." The conversation was obviously not for our ears, so we hid behind pillars and made sure to not be seen.

"if I meet any resistance I will end you. But first I will end Isabella and Arielle Swan. "Ari and I looked at each other alarmed. "Our plans to control this meager species must pull through, or else you'll have to answer to me. I will contact you in a week's time to see that my instructions have been followed. Goodbye Aro Volturi." The sinister voice speaking to Aro chilled me to the bone and brought a sick feeling to my stomach.

Sending Ari a quick telepathic message saying 'shield yourself'. We both stepped out of our hiding spots and saw Aro with his head against the wall, facing away from us. I sent out the largest wave of lethargy I could muster and sent it throughout the entire castle and made sure it kept flowing. I waited a few moments before I was sure everyone in there was immobilized, and looked into the room that Aro had just exited.

The throne room was very much full; at least fifteen vampires were settled nicely in their corners. I lifted Aro up by the collar and grunted in disgust when my hand brushed his chin as I deposited him in his chair.

"Ari go look around and keep an eye out for any more vampires. If they're immobilized bring them here and lock all exits. Okay?" She nodded and swiftly made her way through the doors. I gathered as many Vampires at one time and began making a large pile of bodies. Although it sickened me to have to do so, I began ripping off arms, legs and heads to insure they were going to burn and not wake up suddenly and attack. As I lit the fire I walked towards the thrones and looked at the three 'leaders' with disappointment and sadness. I used the power of the elements to wrap their bodies in pounds of steel vines. I knew that if they really tried they could easily break them but at least it would slow them down enough so I could defend myself. They wrapped around like vines and I took a moment to admire my work.

I heard the creak of a door opening behind me and I looked back to see Ari walking in with several vampires all floating slightly off the ground behind her. Her eyebrows were scrunched together and she was holding her hand as she dropped her load into the fire.

"My nail broke." I giggled at the pout on her face.

"We'll fix that later but we have an interrogation to get through." I rolled my eyes and asked her what her count of vampires was and she told me she had found twenty five. All together the body count was forty not including the three still alive.

When I was sure there was nothing but ash left, I put out the fire and turned back to the three disgusting people in front of me. I let some of the lethargy slip from their bodies but kept steady waves flowing throughout the castle in case someone came in. I re-placed my hood on my head and made sure to cover my face, and Arielle did the same.

"WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON?" Caius's groggy yet angry voice met my ears as his eyes opened and landed on my small figure. Aro's face was priceless as he tried to sputter out curses as he eyed the pile of ash lying directly behind me. Marcus simply sighed, and rolled his eyes, although I could see a small hint of happiness and relief. I cocked my head to the side when I noticed this.

I hadn't noticed Caius had begun to try and get out of the steel trap in which I had encased him, so I tightened them and he stopped struggling as much.

"Wh-who are you?" Aro attempted to sound commanding and powerful, but instead came out as weak and full of fear. I laughed at the coward sitting in front of me.

"The oh so powerful Volturi finally falls. You thought you would get away with all your wrong doing. How sad." His face suddenly became mad but I held my hand up; his voice cut off and his eyes became large along with Caius'. Marcus, again, looked bored, but I still detected a faint hint of happiness in his eyes.

"I am speaking. I will let you speak when I am ready to let you speak. Now where was I? Oh yes! I know of every single bad thing you've done just by looking at you. Threatening my loved ones, causing pain, misery, anguish all around; is there even a semblance of kindness, love or compassion left within you? Now, you WILL answer my question or you will have a hellish amount of pain inflicted on you. Either way I am going to make sure I personally escort you to the gates of hell."

"I'll never allow a meager female boss me as if I'm a child. I am thousands of years old and-"

"My sister and I are much older than all of you, so it'd be best if you'd show some respect." I dropped the robe from my body and looked him in the eye. The rage I felt bubbling beneath the surface began to spill forth and Ari placed a soothing hand to my shoulder and I took a deep breath and t her speak. I began to pace while she spoke, talking to them calmly as if they were old friends, instilling in them a sense of trust with the power of empathy.

"So, Aro, you may or, may not recognize us. That is my sister Bella, and my name is Arielle." Aro's eyes widened. "My first question is quite simple really." She had on arm casually slung across her middle and she had her other hand on her chin as if she were thinking hard about how to say something "Would you care to tell us where our friend Donovan is?"

"He's dead, just like the letter said." Aro spat this out arrogantly but I sensed the lie.

"He's lying" I told Ari quietly. She nodded to me and I began using what used to be Jane's power to cause him pain. Without his shield Renata he was not immune to this pain and began screaming and writhing in pain.

"Now, be honest" Ari said sweetly although she had an angry expression on her face. " .He?"

"The dungeon, through that door" Caius motioned with his head fear in his eyes.

"And just how do we know it isn't a trap?" Ari asked.

"It is not a trap." I was shocked that he even spoke so I whipped my face to where Marcus was siting. I sensed nothing but honesty coming from him. I nodded to him gratefully even though he was still on the bad guys' side at this point.

"Don't ask anything else. If they try anything knock them out again." Ari nodded to me, but kept her eyes on them. I made my way towards the door, and opened it slowly. It creaked and groaned as if it hadn't been opened in centuries. I made my way down the narrow stairwell, my amazing eyesight helping me very much. I felt for a light switch at the bottom and was pleased when I found it. The soft light illuminated the corridor that smelled of sulfur and decay. I looked in the dungeons and noticed there were many people and creatures down here. My eyes pricked with tears of sadness for these people who most likely had done nothing wrong. In the first cell was a small female vampire, sitting in the corner, I removed the feeling of lethargy from her and made sure to help her thirst by removing the feeling from her.

Her eyes opened slowly and there amber eyes that met my own brown ones were wary as she scooted back. She began sobbing uncontrollably as I opened the cell with the keys I found near the door. "Please don't hurt me, I've already told them everything I know!"

"It's okay, shh" I held my hands up as a symbol of peace and I froze were I was.

"I-I don't believe y-you."

I sighed and unfurled my lovely, pearly white wings. Her eyes widened and she stood quickly flinging herself at me I stumbled back in surprise and giggled when I heard her murmuring her thanks over and over again.

"It's okay. What's your name sweetheart?" She pulled out of my arms and mumbled that her name was Nathalie. She was very small, looking about thirteen years old with a round face and wide eyes. She had a thick Italian accent but her English was very good as far as I could tell. She followed me towards the next cell and told me they had captured her because they found her in the forest near the city, and when they noticed she drank animal blood they took her in. I assumed they took her because they thought she was associated with the Cullens and therefore me. Thinking of them suddenly brought an onslaught of emotion. I missed them terribly although it had barely been two days.

I took a calming breath and looked to the next cell and almost burst into tears seeing a small baby goblin. I opened the gate and woke him. I stood a few feet away remembering he has probably been tortured.

When he woke his distorted face looked confused. "Are you an angel?" He asked lowly with a gravelly voice. I laughed softly and nodded. His eyes were distant and sparkled with joy

"Sweety, my name is Bella, I'm here to help you and set you free. Can you tell me how old you are? And what's your name?"

"My name? um it's… umm… oh its steve." At this I laughed loudly. " and I'm.. I think im six but you lose count of how long you've been here." His voice suddenly became shaky and I sent him soothing feelings.

"It's okay honey, I want you and Nathalie to wait by the staircase while I get everyone else out. Okay?" I looked to both of them and they walked towards the stair case.

In the other seven cells were two werewolves, two vampires, a witch, a sorcerer and an adult goblin female which I found out was the young one's mother. Each reacted quite similarly and I was extremely happy when I saw the mother-Adeen- and son reunite. The two vampires were very powerful and had very strong mental abilities and they were also mates whose names were Andrew and Vanessa. The two werewolves' names were Michael and Fredrick, the witch's name was Sarias, and the sorcerer was John.

When they were all waiting by the stairs I approached the last cell and my heart was ripped out of my chest. I fell to my knees in front of Donovan when I saw his battered and barely breathing body.

"Oh sweety I'm so so sorry. I'm sorry I let you get hurt. Oh goodness what did they do to you! " Tears fell in torrents down my cheeks. When I let the lethargy fall from his body and his blue eyes finally met mine. I ran my hand through his brown hair soothingly. He had a few broken ribs and bruises practically covering him like a second skin.

"It's okay Bella, I'll be fine." his voice was coarse and tired. I lifted him and carried him towards everyone else.

"When you get upstairs, don't be alarmed at anything you see okay guys?" They all agreed to what I told them and we made our way up with me in the lead. When I got upstairs Ari was filing down her nails as she sat with her legs crossed in front of a sleeping Aro and Caius and an alert Marcus.

Ari looked up and her expression was stuck on pure sadness. She woke up both Aro and Caius with her face contorted in anger, then used Jane's power on them.
"Are you two freaking idiots! What did you do to him?" She screamed.

They were groaning in pain and I made her stop. "We won't get answers this way. It's okay they will pay for all they've done." Now that we've gotten what we came for, you are going to tell us what happens after my family is supposed to be attacked."

I turned to all the people behind me and motioned for Ari to jump them to Forks. I gave her specific instructions to have Carlisle attend to him at the Cullen mansion. She nodded softly and quickly explained to them what was going to happen and she was off.

"Tell me." I commanded. Aro made a smart decision for once and began speaking.

"After your family was dead, we were supposed to kill of any remaining creatures who still resided on the side of good and from there we don't know. We were just following orders." He was telling the truth, but I could tell there was more. With a slight tightening of the steel he continued. I felt Ari appear besides me. "everything is okay." She stated. I nodded to Aro to continue.

" Some of our allies are supposed to take prisoners on your side to lure you in and then he said he would take it from there."

"Who is 'he'?"

"I do not know, I honestly do not." I narrowed my eyes but felt he was telling the truth.

"Alright, I know enough… Marcus?" He slowly met my eyes. Hope and fear shined in his eyes all at once. I let the steel fall away from him. His eyes widened and surprise overtook his features. "By now I have realized and seen it in your soul that the only reason you are here is because Aro was forcing you with the help of Chelsea's power to tamper with your loyalties. I know that in the time that Chelsea has been dead your own sense of loyalty is coming back and I am giving you the option of leaving and being free or dying here." I spoke softly to him and although I knew what he was going to choose before my words processed in his mind, I wanted him to tell me his choice out loud.

"I want to die. I am miserable I miss my dear Didyme far more than I want to live. There is no reason for me to live. Please kill me. Freedom for me means nothing if I cannot be with her. " I nodded to him with a soft smile he stood from his chair and waited.

"I'll fulfill your wish in a moment. But I thought you might like to hear what actually happened to your mate." He nodded frantically. "When you and your mate began to stray from Aro's control, He felt that the only way to keep one of his valuable assets around was to destroy the one thing that made it happy. Your dear brother Aro murdered his own sister and your mate for his own selfish reasons. " Suddenly Marcus' hands were at Aro's throat.

"No b-brother she is not being honest." Aro couldn't get the words out properly due to the fact the Marcus was just short of ripping off his head.

"I cannot lie." I said to them when Marcus looked back at me.

Marcus turned to me "make sure he suffers" I nodded to him and he stood in front of me. I used Alec's power to numb him, and made his death as quick as possible. I made sure the pieces of his body disintegrated and when the pieces finished burning I put them out quickly. I used the wind to blow the ashes towards the rest of the pile.

"Time to get rid of the trash" Ari said looking at the two remaining Volturi leaders. Needless to say their deaths were neither quick nor painless.
