Disclaimer – I know that all my fans wish that C&C would be a little longer but hey that is just they way the story went. I do promise you though that this story will be longer than 10 chapters. Of course we all know that Stephanie Meyers owns twilight. Though I really wished she would share the wealth. Now onto the next part...
Review:
Alice nodded. "He was suppose to stay in Volterra for a year but that was before Victoria decided to get revenge against the family and Bella." She looked at Emmett. "You need to get a hold of the wolves and let them know that way they can help keep and eye out for any newborns or Victoria herself."
Emmett nodded as he and Rose headed out the door and towards the tready line. Everyone knew that someone was always close to it in case they needed to speak to them. Alice went up to her room and started writing things down that she had seen. She had found out that Victoria had a small group in Seattle while Maria was down south. She would help in any way she could. Alice knew she needed to make things right.
(~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~)
Bella and Jasper walked into the throne room holding hands. Jane and Alec were no where to be found but the three brothers were sitting in their chairs. Dyne was standing by Carius. Bella had a gut feeling that something was wrong. Cutting her eyes to Jasper she noticed that he had a frown in place. Looking back to Aro she stepped forward.
"Is everything alright father?" She asked worry evident in her voice.
Aro stood and went to Bella. "I am afraid my dear that there is some trouble." He looked at Jasper. "Carlisle called and let me know that Maria and Victoria will be coming after the Cullens then coming here to take over. Alice mentioned that you would want to go back to help thus I am willing to make an agreement."
Jasper tightened his grip on Bella's hand. "Where I go Bella goes." He kept his tone emotionless.
"Of course Major." Aro looked at Bella. "Now my Izzy are you alright with going back?"
Bella looked at Dyne who was standing there doing nothing. "Only if Dyne is able to do with us." She looked at Aro. "While I don't feel like I belong there I will go and take care of Victoria myself."
"Just be careful." Marcus said. "We worry about you though there is no need. You are our children."
Bella smiled at the old vampire. "Thank you Uncle Marcus." She turned to Carius. "Uncle Carius will you be going?" Bella knew how he hated the fact she called him uncle.
Carius snarled. "No Jane and Alec will be going with you. I do not want my best warriors to fall to the likes of them." He narrowed his eyes as Jasper. "You will take care of our Izzy."
"She is my mate is she not." Jasper snapped. "Unlike most I take mates very seriously."
Aro nodded and waved Carius off. "He knows he is just protective of Izzy." He smiled at her. "She has been the first to be trained by Carius in over 6 centuries."

Alice was sitting in her room when she received another vision. Her eyes widen as she saw a tall male vampire with black hair with blue streaks. He had a dark blue fishnet shirt with a black tank top underneath. He had on black leather pants with army boots that had blue flames on them. When she looked into his eyes she gasped when she saw red eyes. She knew then and there that he was a human drinker. Then the vision left as quickly as it came.
Alice jumped up and ran into the kitchen where everyone was sitting. Esme was the first to notice that something was going on. The rest turned their eyes to Alice and she started to jump up and down.
"My mate is coming!" She squealed. Rose as the first one over to her and gave her a hug.
"Congrats Alice." Rose told her. "So what does he look like?"
"Well..." Alice looked down at the floor.
Carlisle frowned as he stood and went to Alice. "What's the matter?" He had his hand on her shoulder.
"He's a human drinker." She cut her eyes to everyone. "And from the vision he wont change."
"Oh Alice." Esme said as she took her into her arms. "Maybe he wont care that you drink from animals." She pulled back and looked into Alice's eyes.
Carlisle nodded in agreement along with the others. "You must not fret over it." He placed a hand on her shoulder. "If you are mates then it wont matter and you will deal with it when the time comes."
"I hope your right, Carlisle." Alice smiled as she went back to her room. She wondered if she would have to change. She didn't really wish to go back from drinking from humans.
-o0O0o-
Jane and Alec came in and walked up to Aro. They waited til he called on them before they spoke. Aro held his hand up to Bella and Jasper. He looked at the twins.
"Yes my dears." He looked at them curiously.
Jane stepped forward. "Our dinner has arrived." She cut her eyes to Jasper who tensed. "Will our guest be joining?"
"I don't think..." Jasper started but was cut off by Bella.
"Bring an extra if he doesn't want it you or Dyne could have it." Bella squeezed his hand. His eyes bore into hers.
Jane just nodded as she turned and walked out of the room. Jasper spun to Bella with his eyes black. He was projecting to all those in the room. Bella quickly placed a barrier between them and the others. She took his head in her hands and locked eyes with him.
"Jasper I know that you don't wish to feed from humans however we don't just feed from the innocent any longer. I was the one that changed all that." She tried to sooth him. "Please? If you still wish for something else then I wont argue but I know that you are having a hard time dealing with your thirst and I don't want to see you in pain."
Jasper calmed down as her words sunk in. He looked at the brothers and noticed that Carius and Marcus were nodding in agreement. Aro had a bright smile on his face as he gazed at Bella. Jasper tasted the feelings around him and found pride, love, and adornment. He could tell that Aro felt parental love for Bella. None of them were lying though yet he couldn't help but be hesitant. He looked back into Bella's eyes.
"Only if I don't feel regret after I feed will I continue other than that I go back." Jasper offered. He tightened his hands.
Bella knew that he was afraid. She knew what she needed to do. "Of course my mate." She raised up and kissed him on the cheek. Bella then turned to Aro and nodded.
"Wonderful." Aro beamed as he clapped her hands. "Bring in dinner."
Jasper stood next to Bella as they brought in 'dinner'. He was rather surprised when killers, and criminals came in along with someone from in a wheel chair. It was an older woman that had tears in her eyes. Jasper gasped at the pain the older woman was in. If he could cry he would have. In no time he was in front of her and took her hand. Bella and Dyne were next to him.
"Perché siete venuti? (Why have you come here?)." Jasper asked the elder woman. "Sapete cosa succede? (Do you know what is happening?)."
The elder woman nodded. "Sì, lo so. Mi hanno detto che il mio dolore. Fa più male di vivere più a lungo. (Yes i know. They told me that they would take away my pain. It hurts to live any longer.)." She took his cold hand. "IO sono da sola nella mia sofferenza. Quindi il motivo per cui sono qui per aiutare Aro. Riuscirai a per me? (I am alone in my suffering. Thus the reason i am here to help Aro. Will you be the one to help me?)."
Bella could tell that Jasper was rather surprised. None of the other vampires had 'eaten' yet because of the older woman. She asked to go first. She wished to be of use to Aro and his kind. Jasper looked into the woman's' eyes and felt that she was happy with the thought of dying. He had never felt that in any of his victims.
"I have changed them for the better." Bella whispered to him. "She wishes you and with the death victims they tend to choose who takes their blood." She pulled away and kissed the elder woman on the forehead then moved back to Dyne's side.
Jasper locked eyes with the elder woman. "Qual è il tuo nome? (What is your name?)"
"Daphne Luce. (Daphne Light.)" Daphne told Jasper as she kissed his hands.
Jasper bowed his head to her and nodded. "Se desiderate posso prendere il vostro dolore. (If it is your wish i will take your pain away.)" He looked up into her eyes that were shining with tears.
Jasper felt a warm feeling blossom in his chest as he looked into the older womans' eyes. Suddenly he knew that he could do this. He nodded once and the elder woman held out her arm. Jasper took her wrist in his hand and knelt down on one knee. He kissed the spot where he would bite then sunk his teeth in. Not once did he feel fear in the elder woman that he was drinking from. When her heart stopped he pulled away. He had drained her body of blood yet he heard her whisper one last thing.
"Ringrazio il mio angelo. (Thank you my angel.)"
Jasper was frozen in spot while the chaos around him started. He could hear the screams and cries of mercy but he felt no fear no remorse. When he had feed with Peter and Charlotte they fed from killers and rapist or the ill but they had all felt fear as they were drained yet the first time since starting the animal diet he took a life that was given to him. Daphne Luce was his first victim that wanted to be taken from this world and he had helped. For some reason his guilt of all the others kills were lifted by the very last words that were said to him. Thank you my angel. No one had ever called him an angel.
Bella moved to Jasper's side after her meal and took his hand. They had taken the older woman out but Jasper had not moved. She looked up at her brother and frowned. Dyne just shook his head then froze his eyes glazing over. Bella was standing in no more than a second. She kept her hand in Jasper's as she watched Dyne.
"What did you see, Brother?" Bella asked.
Dyne blinked his eyes a couple of times then looked down at her with a shit eating grin. "I have seen my mate." He smiled widely.
"What does she look like?"
"She's not real tall but she kinda looks like a pixie if I had to describe her as anything." He had a far away look in his eyes.
Bella however knew exactly who his mate was and all she could do was laugh. She knelt down in front of Jasper and grinned as she kissed him on the lips. His eyes blinked as he looked at her.
"Are you ok?" Bella looked into Jasper now red eyes. There was no gold any where within them.
Jasper nodded. "Yes I'm fine." He stood and turned to Dyne. "So you have found you mate. Do you know her name?"
Dyne shook his head. "The only thing I know is that her eyes were like yours when you first arrived." He crossed his arms. "Does that sound like anyone you know?"
"Yes it does." Jasper smirked. "Its my ex wife, Alice."
Bella was giggling as she saw the look on Dyne's face. "Don't worry." Bella slapped his shoulder. "I think you and her would be a great couple."
Dyne growled as he went to chase after Bella but when a throat clear they stopped and looked towards Aro. Bella clamped her lips closed as she lowered her eyes. Dyne snorted as he crossed his arms and glared at Jasper from the corner of his eye.
"Now my children." Aro sighed. "I would like you to go pack and be ready in a little over an hour to leave. You will need to hurry if you are to help them."
Bella nodded. "Of course father." She turned and took Jasper's hand then lead him out of the of the throne room leaving Dyne with Aro and the others.
Dyne watched as his sister lead her mate out the door. He turned back to Aro and knew that he needed to speak to him about something. Dyne waited patiently until he couldn't take it any longer. Growling he looked from Aro to Marcus to Carius.
"What do you need to discuss with me that couldn't be spoken about with Izzy or Jasper here?" Dyne watched the brothers suspiciously.
"We are worried what will happen when you return over there." Marcus answered for his brothers. "You have seen what Izzy has been through and we do not want her hurting while she is there."
Dyne nodded. "What do you want me to do?" He would always protect his sister.
"If you see Edward Kill him." Carius hissed. "We do not want a defect within our race. If he could not take care of Izzy then he is no good even with his power."
Dyne bowed at the waist. "It shall be done." He raised up and looked at the brother. "Anything else?"
Marcus shook his head. "No that is all at the moment. You may go." He waved Dyne out of the room.
Dyne bowed his head then headed out the door and headed to his room. He had wanted to try the animal diet but living with the Volturi it is rather hard to do. Even though the people they are killing are the defects of the human race he still could see their whole lives flash before his eyes as he drained them of their life force. Living alone all his human life he had lost the ability to speak to people however when he met Izzy she changed his whole outlook on life.
Smiling Dyne hurried to his room. He couldn't wait to head to the US and find his mate.
