Thanks again to all who have read, reviewed, fav'd and alert'd. You guys are great! The song for this chapter is Muse-Time is running out. Now on with the story! Not Beta'd so all mistakes are mine.

Caius POV

Three days. It's been three fucking days since those bastards took my little witch. Everyone has stayed in the throne room with the exception of Demetri, Jane and Alec who were sent off to the Romanions old castle. Not that it will be of any use. From the drawing that the little phychic sketched of the castle Fuckward had walked into they are not in the same castle as when we overthrew them.

Pacing the throne room like a caged lion waiting for a chance to pounce, my patience is quickly unraveling. A constant steady growl has been coming from me since Bella went missing. I knew that little witch would eventually lead me to my death. I was still expecting at least a few thousand years with the damn woman though. I didn't want this. I didn't want a mate. This is why. Now that I have found and had her, I can't go on without her. I will not let anyone take her from me again. I will not let some emo, closet gay, forever teenager smother this feeling of being complete. She's still alive. That much I know. I can feel it in me. I must find her.

Lilith has been around my neck steadily hissing when she is awake. I can't understand what she is saying. But I'm sure, like myself, she is blaming herself for her misstress's dissapearence. What was that little witch thinking leaving the castle without guard? Or without Lilith even? Lilith is eqipped to handle vampires now.

Demetri, Jane and Alec have just returned. All of them looking as if someone has killed their kittens. They didn't find her. I knew they wouldn't. After seeing that drawing I knew that my little witch wouldn't be there. Aro insisted that they search though. Just in case. Aro, Marcus, and a few of the lower guard are pouring over maps trying to guess where the Romanians would have set up base again. Demetri, Jane and Alec make their way over to the table. Jane gives Aro her hand. A deeper scowl forms on my usually smiling brothers face. Where to go from here?

Jasper's POV

We came all this way to prevent this from happening. Yet, it still happened. Bella, she's not the sweet girl shewas when we left Forks a little over a year ago. No, she's different. Stronger, wiser, even more stubborn than before. She will make it through this until we can get to her. I have to believe that. I feel useless. Me. The Major, feels useless!

Alice has been in a steady trance for three days now. Ever since those bastards got to Bella. She blames herself for not seeing the abduction sooner. I can feel the constant guilt flowing from her. I feel guilt from everyone in the room. Even Rosalie, the ice barbie bitch. She's been trying to console Emmet who feels the same amount of guilt as everyone else but is making it visible for everyone.

There must something I can do. I've commanded armies of thousands for fuck's sake. Surely I can help track down a small coven of ancient vampires and my crazy ex brother. If only I had my general with me. THAT'S IT! Peter! How in the fuck did I not think of the little fucker sooner?

Grabbing my cell from my pocket I quickly dial the number to Peter and Char's cell.

"Bout damn time you called Major! We started towards Italy yesterday afternoon when I knew we were needed there. Now hows about you explain to me why we are heading there?" Peter drawed in his deep southern accent.

"You're already on your way here? How? Never mind, you know shit. But you don't know why you're needed here just that you are?" I ask.

"Well Major, I wouldn't have asked if I already knew. Now would I fucker?"

"I suppose not. Short version. Bella ended up being Caius's mate. Edward, being the stupid immature fucker that he is didn't like this. He finally flipped his shit and joined the Romanians asking for their help in kidnapping Bella. They were sucessfull. Other things will be told to you when you get here and we can talk privetly."

"Bella? You mean that little human girl you told us about? She's Caius's mate? Huh from how you described her that doesn't seem like it would have been his other half."

"Yeah well, she's different. Doesn't take shit from anyone. Oh and she's a witch. Something none of us knew at that time."

"Char and I are almost to Volterra now. Give us about ten more minutes and we can talk more Major."

Hanging up the phone I walk over to the table where Aro, Marcus and the guard are all looking over maps.

"I've called Peter and Charlotte. They were already on their way here just didn't know why. I filled them in a little but will give them all the details when they get here in a few minutes." I tell them.

"Yes, Peter and Charlotte are the ones you let escape from Maria when you were still under her thumb. Peter has a gift of knowing things dosen't he? Yes, that will come in handy. Thank you Jasper" Aro says with a ghost of a smile tugging at the corners of his lips that dissapeared into a scowl again quickly.

Mintues pass with extreme silence except for the constant growl coming from Caius and the hiss coming from Bella's snake. Then Gianna walks in with Peter and Char trailing behind her. I couldn't help it. The fucker had a big shit eating grin on his face as he was walking behind the human, it made me grin. That was his I know shit grin.

Peter, holding Chars hand walked over to the table with maps and pointed at an area.

"She's somewhere in this area. I don't know exactly where but somewhere in a hundred mile radius of this area. Sorry I can't tell yuns exactly where but I have no control over what I know. I do know that if we take that pissed off snake over there with us to this area she will lead us right to her misstress though" Peter finishes with that grin still on his face.

Aro stares at Peter for a moment then breaks out in his usual smile. Glancing around at the guard he says, "Well you all heard him. Prepare the jet. We leave immediently!"

With that we all part to pack a few things. I glance at Caius. His eyes are still onyx black but the growling has stopped. The snake around his neck looks as if it had coiled tighter around his neck as he is stalking off to his and Bella's chambers. I turn towards mine taking Alice's tiny hand.

"It's happening now. He's doing those deplorable things to her right now. The vision is so strong and I keep getting shots of her screaming. It's horrible Jasper. We must get to her quickly" she whispers though I'm sure every vampire in the castle heard.

My thought of everyone hearing is confirmed when I hear an angry aggonized growl from Caius as Alice and I walk into our room. I feel his pain and agony. It's unbearable. I will not fail Bella again. I love my baby sister to much. In the rooms across from ours I hear Rosalie crying softly. Yes, we will find Bella.

I know it's super short but it was all important. I was going to do it in Alice's POV but decided Jasper's would be better for this. Not many more chapters to go in this story. Three maybe four more chapters until the end. The next few chapters might take a while because I want them to be REALLY good. Thanks again to all of my readers!
