Rosalie's POV
Making our way toward the Cullen's house was a little bit exciting. They were probably terrified to have the Volturi enter their lands but what can I say, I wanted to see my friends and I was hopping someone of great importance would be with them.
"Are you sure this is a good idea Rose? they could kill me in a instant." Asked Bella, who was still in Tanya's arms.
"I told you already, no one will kill you, you are under my protection just relax besides I'm sure Tanya would kill anyone who would dare attack you wouldn't you Tan?" I said smirking causing Bella to look quizingly at Tanya who just nodded sending me a glare.
The rest of the run was mostly spent in silence except for the bickering between Kate and Irena. Before going to the Cullen's we went to Charlie's home to drop him off and took off from there towards the Cullen's house. Charlie had made me promise to take care of Bella and not let any harm come to her. I wasn't planning on letting anyone come near her but if a promise could reassure him, why not.
When we approached our destination we slowed down to prepare ourselves. Tanya place Bella down but didn't let go of her hand. I saw Bella look at their join hands and smile a little. We entered the house at human pace and joined the Cullen's in the living room trying to ignore the tension that filled the air.
"Thank you for coming, we need all the help we can get to protect Bella from the Volturi." Carlisle spoke up. I ignored him and looked at Alice who was sitting next to Jasper on one of the coaches.
"When will they be here exactly?" I asked her, she looked surprised by the question or maybe was it the emotionless tone I'd used with her.
"Well.. I... they will be here in approximately 3 hours." I nodded in acknowledgment and turned my attention towards Carlisle.
"If it's okay with you, we will be staying outside in the garden until their arrival." His expression did nothing to hide his surprise.
"You do not need to ask for permission to stay here, it's your home too"
"I'm sorry to inform you, but this house has never been a home to me" I said coldly, his expression morphed from shock to hurt.
"If you say so." I nodded and made my way toward the garden followed by my family, Emmett included.
We sat on the ground in a circle, to my right was Stephanie, Carmen and Eleazar next to her. To my left sat Tanya, Bella was next to her. Kate and Irena sat next to each other with Emmet beside them.
"So what's the plan when the Volturi arrives?" asked Emmett eager to know my plan.
"You'll wait and see." I said smirking.
"Heyyy not fair, why do they get to know and not me?" he whined.
"Well lets just say, they know how to protect their minds from a certain Dickhead and you don't." He looked bummed but soon the smile returned to his face.
"Never mind, who's ready for some ass kicking?"
"No one will kick any body's ass Em." Tanya told him, he looked at her with wide eyes.
Even though Emmet is a brother to me, I never told him about my relationships with certain members of the Volturi. It would be too complicated to explain and my meeting with them was before he was even turned as was my stay with the Amazons, so I had preferred not to say anything about them to him. This wasn't to say I didn't trust him, I trusted him more than the Cullen's but there are a lot of things about me that he doesn't know and I would prefer keeping it that way.
"What! why?" He looked like some body has kicked his puppy.
"You'll have to wait and see." Kate told him patting his shoulder.
"Ahhh, you girls are frustrating, how can you live with all of them Eleazar ? they outnumber you by a lot."
"Ah my friend, that is a secret that I would rather not reveal You see, if I told you they would know of all my tricks and then they would stop working." He said in a serious tone. The dumfounded expression on Emmett's face made us all laugh.
Time passed quickly and soon we heard Alice say that they will be here in less then a minute. We got up and made our way to the front of the house to meet them as customary. Emmett went to stand next to the Cullen's but we stood a couple of meters away from them since we were a different Coven and Bella stood behind me and Tanya because there was no way I was gonna let her get hurt and neither was Tanya.
With every passing second we could hear Bella heart beat faster the tension was really getting to the human but everything would be alright in the end. I could hear them coming toward as at high speed and before long they were standing before us. Jane was in the center, Felix to her right, and Demitri to her left, slightly behind the trio stood Chelsea and Heidi.
"Cullen's." Jane said in a disgusted voice.
"Jane, it's so good to see you again." Carlisle spoke taking a step forward.
"I can't say the feeling is mutual Carlisle." She said using the same tone, I had to restrain myself from laughing.
"What brings you here?" He spoke again.
"I was send here to check on you and see if you have kept your part of the deal But you seem to have neglected to do so, seeing as the girl is still human."
"The date has been set for her change Jane, you do not wish in any way to break the deal."
"From what I am seeing, and with the big number you have gathered, you wish to do just that." She nodded toward us.
"They were here on a visit before we even knew you were coming, we do not wish to fight." I chose this moment to intervene.
"Jane." She looked toward me.
"Rosalie." she said nodding.
"She is under my protection, Jane, she will not be changed if she doesn't wish to be." I said seriously.
"I do not think Aro would be pleased to hear that, she posses a gift that he wants."
"You know that I don't care what Aro has to say or what he wants. Isabella is under my protection and will remain so if she wishes." I heard a couple of gasps coming from the Cullen's.
"Do not disrespect Aro, blondey " she said, her temper rising.
"Blondey seriously, you couldn't find something more original?" I said smirking.
"Rosalie, I think you need to stop." Carlisle said in a terrified voice.
"I do not care what you think, this has nothing to do with you."
"She is right do not interrupt us anymore or it will be my pleasure to put you through hell" Jane added making him gulp.
"I see you haven't lost your touch Jane." She looked at me offended.
"Like that would ever happen." she smirked, and I laughed.
"Who knows, maybe you will find someone who will keep you in check." I said playfully.
"As if, can we return to the reason we are here please?"
"Certainly, Isabella as I said from now on will be under my protection, she is family."
"I see, well Aro will not be pleased."
"He will not, but I will explain the situation to him personally when I go to Volterra."
"You plan to visit?" she asked.
"Yes it has been a while, I wanted to introduce my mate and make Aro leave her alone." At that moment her eyes flickered to Stephanie.
"You are mated to The Ripper." she stated.
"Yes, is that a problem?" Steph said stepping next to me.
"Not really, I can not think of anyone better fit to be her mate. You match her in most areas, well I doubt you could beat her in a fight." Jane said smirking and I laughed.
"I didn't realize until now how much I missed you Jane" I said still laughing.
"Is that so, I can't say I have missed you."
"I know for a fact that you did."
"I did not."
"Admit it, come on." I said making my way toward her.
"I will not admit or deny anything."
"Do as you wish but I know the truth." I said while wrapping her in my arms ignoring her exaggerated huff. We hugged for a couple of seconds taking in the familiar comfort that came with it before we let go. I turn around and observed with great amusement the confused look on the Cullen's faces.
"I think you broke them Rose." Jane said smirking
"I wish."
After a couple seconds Carlisle was the first to stop gaping like a fish and regain a his composure a little.
"What... What is happening?" he asked looking at them as if reality was slowly shattering.
"Well the deal is no longer effective." Jane said causing his eyes to widen.
"What! why?"
"There is no need for it anymore, Isabella Swan is under Rosalie's protection that means she is untouchable from here on out." She said dismissively, the looked at me.
"They are waiting for you in a clearing, do you want to come with us or on your own?" I smile immediately appeared on my face.
"I'll go with you." I ran toward Stephanie and took her hand in mine.
"Come on I need to introduce you to some people."
