Volturi Blackmail

A/N: Just wanted to provide a little bit of a twist. This will be your slight glimpse to Bella's past. Next chapter will really be the full on truth. I just had to save you from the cliffy only to leave you a little bit in the dark.

This chapter is dedicated to Krish-X....who makes me laugh and makes my ego so big, it might not fit through the door. Hope you got a needle to pop this monster ego. :D

Disclaimer: I sadly own nothing. I just get to play with them in the woods. :)

APOV:

Bella's scream reached my oversensitive ears and I immediately jumped out of the window and took off at a run towards the woods. I could feel my family running behind me.

We all stopped in our tracks at the sight of Demetri holding Bella close, one of his hands around her throat, Emmett was on the ground on our right but he managed to get up and stand by the family.

"Carlisle, this does not concern you or your family. Isabella is mine."

Carlisle stepped forward calmly keeping his eyes on Demetri.

"What is Isabella's digression that she deserves death Demetri?"

Carlisle's inquiry was simple. Bella is a child, why kill her?

"Aro seeks her. She is a sworn Volturi guard but she has betrayed us all. She killed Felix and so her penalty is death. We have searched for her for a long time but her mental shield and powers proved her untraceable. I thank you for your help in turning her into a human child because we were able to track the unmistakable scent of her blood."

The family gasped, I could not stop my own gasp from escaping my mouth. She lied to me. Bella looked at me pleadingly. I stared at her intently, searching her eyes for a reason…any reason. I sighed. My heart was broken, she lied to me.

"Alice…please…" Bella managed to choke out.

I could not stop myself from stepping forward towards her. Demetri crouched and then growled at me in warning. I stopped and crouched in defense.

"Do not come any closer or I will be forced to attack." Demetri's warning rang in my ears but all I could do is stare at Bella.

Alice. I lied. I know but I had to. I did not want to put you guys in danger like this. I didn't mean to kill Felix. I can explain, please.

Bella was pleading with me telepathically.

Alice. I love you. I would never lie to you about that. I can show you.

I felt a wave of love hit me. Jasper walked up to me and put his hand on my shoulder. I turned to look at him and he nodded.

"Emotions can not lie, Alice. I am with you." Jasper's dedication strengthened me.

Demetri looked at us in warning.

"Do not test my patience or test the courts of the Volturi. You will not survive your judgment."

In response, my family all stepped forward.

"She is family, we can not just let you take her." Carlisle's deathly calm voice rang out in the sudden silence.

Bella's looked at everyone with tear-filled eyes. Suddenly she sputtered as Demetri tightened his hands around her neck suddenly.

"Very well. I will enjoy this."

Demetri dangled Bella in front of us by the neck, slowly choking her to death.

BPOV:

I struggled in his grip. I was no vampire, not even an adult. I was struggling for life.

Alice was first to spring forward. Demetri tried to side step her but she probably foresaw it and caught him hard.

He let me go and I felt the air return and I gasped mouthfuls. Emmett found me and picked me up.

"Who are you??" Emmett's whispered question was full of wonder.

"I will explain later." I breathed out quickly.

Emmett held on to me and together we watched the family pursue Demetri.

"Emmett, take Bella home now!" Alice turned and demanded.

"No!! Alice!! " I saw Demetri shrug off the rest of the family and grab Alice by the neck. I struggled out of Emmett's grasp and stood with the family.

"Any closer and she dies. Isabella or Alice. You will have to choose." Demetri's evil smirk mocked me.

"You will not touch her Demetri." I said in command, my childish voice sounding eerie in the tense silence.

"And who will stop me little Bella Swan?" Demetri scoffed at me.

I heard Rosalie, Edward, Emmett, and Katrina gasp.

Edward. Now is not the time to probe my mind.

I heard Edward jump, I forgot to knock again…but hey, he was trying to get in first.

I stepped forward.

"Have you forgotten that you are human little one? You can do nothing. You have killed my brother and so deserve to die. You think you can get away with betraying and killing one of your own Volturi brothers and get away with it? I have been looking for you for 3 years! You think I will just let you get away?"

Demetri was still under the delusion that I betrayed the Volturi.

"I did not betray the Volturi. Felix did. I managed to kill him before he can attack and kill you. I merely wanted to talk him out of it but he attacked me. I saved your hide and you are here to kill me?? You walked in and you listened to his lies."

Demetri only laughed at me.

"You? Save me? Felix was trying to kill you, you got way too dangerous for everyone!! You killed him with no cause, you betrayed us all. I saw his eyes pleading with me to save him. If you had nothing to hide Isabella, then why did you run?"

I looked at him in anger.

"They heard your side of the story but they would have never heard me, my status as a new guard did not give me enough credibility to denounce you Demetri. Everyone knows that Aro and I can not read each other's mind leaving me with no defense! It's your word and Felix's dying words against mine. My case would have been lost the moment I stepped into that chamber. If I dare defend myself with my powers, that would have only proven their point. Desperation Demetri. It is what you will feel in mere moments unless you let her go."

Demetri stood still. He was unsure of my story. I could feel a burning in my chest, it was rapidly spreading.

Demetri's eyes widened. I heard gasps from behind me. Suddenly, I saw the sudden hardness in his eyes and he has decided his own fate. I felt the growl come from deep within me as I moved forward to pounce on him as he sunk his teeth on to Alice's shoulder.

APOV:

I saw a blur before excruciating pain blinded me. The fucker bit me!! I struggled from the grip.

"Alice!" Bella's voice screamed out at me.

I felt myself fall to the ground, the pain on my shoulder was throbbing. Carlisle was at my side and the rest of the family followed.

"Where's Bella?" I mumbled out worried.

Carlisle held me up and looked at my wound. He ripped off his shirt and pushed it up against my shoulder. I caught a glimpse of Demetri flying and hitting a tree. I looked and saw Bella on the other side, shaking in anger.

"I warned you Demetri!! I did not want to kill you, even after saving your life and being betrayed, I did not want to kill you. I told you not to hurt her!! I fucking told you not to hurt her!!"

She screamed at him before grabbing him and ripping his arm off. Demetri screamed so loud, birds flew above us, fleeing.

"Damn. I didn't know Bella had such a temper. I'm glad I didn't come back. I could be that armless guy."

Edward joked lightly and Emmett just looked at him and shook his head.

"Shut up Edward. You could still be this guy." Bella answered him as she beheaded Demetri. She grinned maniacally at him.

Edward's eyes widened and I laughed, Emmett and Jasper choked in laughter. Katrina stepped in front of Edward suddenly.

"I'm just kidding Katrina. I won't hurt him. Can you boys help me start a nice fire??"

Katrina faltered and Bella smiled jokingly at her. The boys quickly took care of the fire and Demetri's body.

"Alice? Are you all right? I'm so sorry." Bella was on her knees in front of me.

I pulled her close and hugged her.

"Oh Bella. I love you. You're back."

She pulled back surprised.

"Oh yeah!! Oh my god!! I am!! Thank God!! What happened?"

She looked down at her little clothes, barely covering her body.

"I don't know. You just changed. I'm sure Carlisle will want to figure this out. You owe me explanations for lying young lady!!"

I couldn't keep the joking tone out of my voice.

"Yes Ma'am!!"

Bella straightened up and saluted then groaned. She must have read my mind about going shopping for new clothes.

"You owe me!!" I grinned at her. She groaned again then nodded.

Jasper came up behind her suddenly.

"Whoa. I've heard humans having growth spurts, but 20 years in five seconds? That's pretty impressive Bella."

I laughed. Bella punched Jasper in the arm and Jasper mockingly squealed in pain.

"Good one soldier man."

Jasper smiled before hugging Bella.

"We missed you Bella. Welcome back."

Bella returned his hug graciously.

"Don't worry, Edward. I will answer all of your questions later. First, I need to hunt."

Bella yelled towards Edward.

Edward looked at Bella bewildered.

"Did you forget that I can read your mind?" Bella turned to Edward.

Everyone laughed at Edward's horrified face.

"Well, now you'll know how it feels."

Rose just managed to scoff, which caused the whole family to again burst out in laughter.

Bella picked me up slowly and kissed my forehead.

The fire was out and smoke rose to the top of the trees.

The family disappeared into the lush woods. Bella and I followed, me in her arms.

This was another first for us.

Our first family hunt.

I breathed out an unnecessary breathe before removing myself from Bella's arms.

I stood in front of Bella then leaned to kiss her cheek before letting my body lean into her arms.

I love you.

She laughed as I jumped in her arms, startled.

Sorry I should have knocked.

I laughed before kissing her softly on the lips, I whispered my response against her breath.

"I love you too."

A/N: I hope you like it!! I might not have given enough hints but yes, Demetri was the one that Alice got a glimpse of in Chapter 6: Piccola Bella. He has been following and observing them. More explanations next chapter. Until next time!! - Ansacht
