Betrayal.
Bpov.
I was lying on my back, in a pile of rubble,
And I had no clue what had happened. The last thing I remembered was backing away from Zack and…,
Zack, of course now the memories came flooding back to me, the text messages the secret codes, Zack in fathers study, he was a spy, he wasn't loyal to the volturi,
He was trying to gain information about the volturi, and what better way than to make the princess\future queen fall in love with that spy in particular, as I glanced down and saw my cell phone shattered to pieces on the floor, I hoped with all my might that the text message I had sent jasper had reached him in time. I saw Zack staring at me through the dust that clotted the air and I whispered "why?" how could he do this to me, is it just me or is every relationship that I get into, turns out disastrous? "Why" he asked "why, not!" he stated "why should I have to rule at your side when I can rule instead of you?, why should I have to be the second in command, when I can defeat the supposed strongest and most powerful of vampires with my power?" he said.
And he did have a point, I would never do anything like what he was doing, well my good side wouldn't anyway, and yet I knew how he felt, whether because I was empathic or I just knew wasn't clear but knew how he felt anyway.
To always be the one that has to take commands from other people even if you're a higher ranking than them, or are more skilled, to always be out-shined by everyone and the one thing that makes you special, (in this case him being Bella's fiancé) to be like being over shadowed anyway "Zack, you don't have to do this" I whispered to him "I know how you feel, under appreciated and you just want to be excepted, but you cant do that by killing me" he had been slowly inching his way towards me and stopped suddenly "you think that, that's the only reason for this?" he asked, indicating at me lying on the floor in the rubble "no" he said "I want to kill you, Bella" he smirked "you are nothing but a burden to everyone in the volturi, if not for your power, you would have been gone a long time ago, Aro doesn't love you, he's just pretending, he doesn't have one single reason to love you, other than the fact that you can keep the volturi safe." He said "you're wrong" I whispered "you wouldn't know love, if it came up and bit you in the backside, you jerk" I said, my voice rising "how can you do this to everyone in Volterra, I thought you were beginning to make friends" I shouted at him "yes" he answered "I must say, it is a regrettable amount of time to have wasted, but I'm sure that I'll live, while you will do…. Otherwise" he started to inch his way closer yet, and I tried to rise from the ground, but every time I did, my arms and legs would wobble, I'd get a pang in my head and I would sink back to the ground. "Who do you work for?" I asked trying to distract him, but he wasn't to be distracted so easy "I work for myself" he replied simply, continuing to walk towards me, I started to shuffle backwards into the corner "don't worry, my princess" he whispered, stroking my face "it will all be over and done with quickly, but you know me, I never was the fast one" and then he lunged for my throat.
I was going to leave it there but then I thought that I wouldn't be so mean, so I will continue but I would just like to clarify some things for you.
zack's power is a very strong power, that Bella has not mastered yet, sometimes she can get an ability and doesn't have to practice it at all, but this is one of the few abilities that is hard to master, just like the freezing-time ability and the fire ability. Also her shield can not block his ability, that is probably one of the things that drew bella to Zack, since she did not want to make an enemy out of him.
Bella's feelings towards zack are not actual feelings of love but more like companionship, she would much rather be engaged to jasper than to zack but that's not how the story goes.
I will not reveal who zack's masters are until the end of the story or there about, and if you want me to do a epilogue of Bella and jasper's wedding day, as shown in Alice's vision then just write and tell me that you want me to.
Ok thanks for reading these points and I'll leave you alone to read the rest of the story.
And then he lunged for my throat…
Iprepared to feel pain, I prepared to feel agony, but was surprised by what I felt next, I was elated because right at that moment the wall on the other side of the room suddenly started to crack and divide through the middle and then the room was covered in dust,
As the dust cleared I was able to make out a familiar shape,
Jasper.
As the realisation hit me that I might actually die, I was not sad, I was not angry,
I wasn't even scared, I was… happy? I wasn't really sure what I was feeling, but I was only thinking that perhaps dying didn't seem so bad, at least not if I
Was with some one I loved…
The last thing I saw as I drifted into unconsciousness was the rest of my family, my father, my uncles, my siblings, Jane and Alec, and last but not least, the Cullen's, who were indeed, like another family to me, step through the opening after jasper.
As my eyelids began to close and my vision clouded up, I knew that wherever I woke up at, I would have the ones that I loved dearest to me, throughout my life, with me once again.
(A/N awww that's so sad-sob- I'll leave you alone now)
Jpov:
I was running quickly through the darkness, the lights of the castle fading swiftly behind me.
My family, the three leaders and almost all of the guard had come with us, Aro sure would go to all costs to protect Bella, the only people who hadn't come, were the wives and the few members of the guard who had been ordered to stay behind to protect them, the reason for our delay, came in the shape of Aro's wife, Sulpicia.
I could still remember the argument that had broken out when Aro had ordered her to stay behind "I'm coming!" she had shrieked "I must protect our daughter Aro, at any cost, I must protect her!" but of course Aro had told her that she had to stay behind in case Bella escaped and needed medical treatment at the castle, but I was sure that was just to placate her, from what I had heard Bella had not been able to beat this monstrosity that they called Zack, yet. He could break through her shield and disable her in a matter of seconds. and then I saw it, Bella's hunting house, she had explained that at the start most of the volturi had refused her demands to go on a 'vegetarian' diet, so Aro had constructed this hunting house, deep within the woods of Volterra, so that whenever they were to feed, she would not have to face the screams of all of those dying.
But now I hated the hunting house that she had shown me, she had said that this was were she had intended to confront him.
I was in front and instead of using the door, which now that I think of it would have been quicker, I had kicked a huge hole in the side wall, of the house. Bella was not going to like that at all, I thought to myself, but then realised that, that would only be if she was still alive.
As the dust started to clear, I stepped through the wall, dreading what I was about to See. Zack was standing near to Bella, who was laying on the floor in a tone of rubble and a Bella-sized hole in the wall behind her,
her hair was askew and she looked as if she was about to faint, there was a dribble of blood, dripping down from her chin,
she looked close to death's door,
and then just as the others stepped through the hole her eyelids fluttered and closed and her breath became shallow, that was when all hell broke loose.
(A/N I know that vampires can't faint but please just go with it as I could not explain the direness of the situation enough, the only other way would be if Bella really did die and that wouldn't have been such a nice ending, but anyway back to the story)
Aro was one of the first to make it to Bella's side,
Followed by the rest of my family, Jane, Alec, and some of the guard. Carlisle then began to examine Bella, I meanwhile had launched myself at Zack the moment I saw Bella's eyes shut, it had been totally on instinct and then I had regretted that I had not checked on Bella first,
But she had Carlisle to make sure that she was okay and I could not let Zack escape, not after everything he had done to Bella.
I would not let him escape, not this time.
Before he knew what was happening I was right beside him,
I then proceeded to slam my right fist as hard as I could, into his left eye,
Then I did a spinning kick were I literally looked like a propeller, both feet spinning around in mid-air and landing a kick straight in his chest,
I went for a second spinning kick but he was quicker this time, he grabbed my leg, and threw me into one of the walls, I gathered myself quickly and climbed out of the wall, only to receive a hand-knife in my left side.
The pain stunned me and I almost fell but I staid up fighting,
Anything for Bella.
I managed to spin kick him hard in the stomach followed by a snap kick right into his spine, then I kicked him once again in the stomach.
His legs gave away and he stumbled and fell in a heap on the ground,
I was immediately on top of him holding him down, along with three other guard members. "don't touch him" I heard a voice from behind me say, I got off of Zack, only to have my position taken by two more guard members, I turned around to see Aro staring at me "we need to find out how much he knows" he said, what would he have found out about that would be so important that he had to keep that monster alive, the thing that had almost killed his daughter, my Bella?
"there are things that not even you, jasper hale, know about Bella" he said, guessing from my puzzled features, and what did he mean about me not knowing everything about Bella? Bella told me everything that happened to her, she told me about all the things that had happened to her, and everything that she has seen in her visions that will happen to her, I couldn't imagine her keeping a secret from me, we told each other everything. Aro suddenly turned and made his way over to the crowd of vampires anxiously waiting for Carlisle to revive Bella, when he finally stood up he looked at Aro and said "we need to get to the castle immediately, Aro" my father said giving Aro a look that could only be him trying to express the seriousness of the situation "very well" he said giving a quick glance around at the vampires waiting for the next order "Felix, you shall carry Bella" he said "no need" I interrupted, beginning to make my way over "I'll do that" I didn't like the way that Felix looked at Bella, it gave me shivers up my spine, and I was sure, from the looks that she gave Felix, that Bella didn't like him much either. "very well" Aro said "we must hurry" I could sense that he was about to go into hysterics, but I was not calm enough at the moment, to influence the mood that had started to grow bigger as time passed, in the room.
"Felix" he said again "help your men to bring the traitor to the castle" he said "and make sure" he said this last piece while looking at me "that no one attempts to kill him, we still have to interrogate him" as I exited the hunting house with Bella in my arms, the first light of day began to creep out from behind the trees. As I
Stared down at Bella, sparkling brightly as the light just reached her face, I prayed with all my might that this would not be the last time I saw her.
Okay thanks for all the reviews I got,
Please keep them coming! And in case any of you were wondering how Bella could be almost dead after just slamming into a wall it is because Zack
Had been taking her power and strength the whole time that they had been making there way to the hunting house. And by the time she had slammed into the wall, Bella had not realised it and by that time she was nearly as week as a human who just got slammed full force into a wall by a vampire, also I do not know what to write in the next chapter so expect the unexpected.
p.s FDSAF asked me what happened to the Cullen's and Bella's relationship and basically Alice and jasper grew apart because of his guilt over the way he had acted when Bella got a paper cut, Edward and Alice fell in love because the both of them had just separated from the one that they loved and was able to relate to each other, while jasper was still wallowing in guilt over what he had done to Bella, driven her away from the Cullen's, and Edward, he got a bit jealous and that was really when he started to develop feelings for Bella, not that he knew that was what they were, he just ruled them off as brotherly affection. Of course since they have become best friends he is beginning to realise that it is, indeed something more.
Okay everybody hope you are enjoying my story so far,
And please review.
