As I made my way towards the door Bella came flying out with Nessie in her arms. "We need to get to the throne room. The Guard is coming back."

Oh, shit. We needed to get Ness out of here. I couldn't fight these bloodsuckers while I was worrying about her safety. "Bella, take off with Ness and we'll hold them long enough for you guys to get someplace safe."

She just laughed at me and pushed her way through the doors. "Follow me, Jake. Don't worry, Nessie will be just fine here with me."

She flung the doors to the throne room open and we were greeted by the sight of the Cullens huddled together in the middle of the room surrounded by ten pissed off leeches. "Fuck me gently with a chainsaw."

Bella smiled at me. "You always did have a way with words, Jake." She turned back to the room full of vamp. "Back off, Janos, they're my family."

A tall, almost skeletal leech with long black hair stood up from his crouched position and said something in a language I didn't recognize. The next instant the leeches broke off from the Cullens and took up positions around us, the tall one looking at Bella. "I apologize, Mistress Bella. We did not know that they were guests of yours. Please forgive me for acting in such a rash manner."

"That's okay, Janos. You were only trying to protect what is ours."

Bella started to move towards the Cullens and the other leeches match her step for step. When we got to them she stepped passed Lurch. "Everyone, I'd like you to meet the core of my new coven, the Umbra Garda. They, along with others, are helping me take out the rest of the Volturi and establish a new order for the vampire world."

Jasper snorted. "A 'New Order', Bella? New Orders tend to be worse that the old ones. Ask your German friend there about it. He's already seen what one did to the human world."

A huge, short haired blond guy who looked even bigger than Emmett spoke up. "Ja, I have seen what can happen when one person tries to take control, but that will not happen here."

"Oh and why not?"

"Because we won't let it, will we, Bruno?" The German nodded his head eagerly in agreement.

"And how do you propose to do that, Bella?" It seemed like Mr. Emotions was having a bit of a tough time controlling his own.

"We will establish a council with all the major covens having a representative. They'll decide if someone has broken the law and the Guard will bring them back to face trial here in front of the council."

"You're not changing anything, Bella, just making the Volturi style of governing more bloated. Democracy won't work with our kind."

Janos stepped forward. "What do you propose that we do, my young friend? Let the Volturi back into power? Or let our kind run unchecked? I can judge by your scars and your accent that you went through the wars in the South of your homeland. Do you want us to go back to that chaos?"

"No, I don't, but this…"

Another of the guard stepped forward. She was a tall, willowy blond who gave Rosalie a run for her money in the looks department. Why do all these vamps have to be so hot? "These will not what, tovarishch? Not work? How do you know this? Do you see the future?" She had such a thick accent I almost couldn't understand what the hell she was saying.

Tinkerbell pushed her way to the front of the Cullens. "He doesn't, Ekaterina, but I do. And I see the survivors of your merry little band," she gave Janos an evil look that would have scared the shit out of a statue had it been done by anyone who didn't look like she should have wings and a wand, "being just as bad, if not worse, than the Volturi."

"And how we know that you are telling the truth, my little printesa basm?"

"Although she, and others, likes to think of her as a fairy princess, I do not think she will like you to, Janos Dragomir, but she does indeed tell the truth."

He stiffened as he heard Kaya's voice and a scowl came across his bony face. "What are you doing here, vrajitoarea? Trying to cause more death? Didn't you do enough damage when you turned Aurel against his own people?"

"Don't you ever say his name again, pig!" Kaya's voice boomed in the throne room. I didn't know a person that size could have that big a voice. "Do not talk to me about turning against your own people. Isn't it amazing that you just happened to not be there when the Volturi struck down Aurel or attacked your coven when you were captain of the guard and charged with protecting both him and the castle? Answer me that, Janos."

She turned her attention to the rest of the Guard, the anger radiating off of her keeping them and Janos silent. She walked around them, her blistering gaze holding each one as she caught their eye. "I see the future as well and I have seen the same vision as the child. It seems your leader has not changed his treacherous ways. Once what you believe to be order has been established the purges will begin. He will convince all of you that the council you established is corrupt and you will destroy it, thinking it the right thing to do. Some will die in that battle but those who survive and are considered a threat to Janos' rule will be destroyed."

"If the vision we have seen comes to pass only three of you will see the next century." She stopped in front of Janos and leered at him, as if she was daring him to speak out against her. "And only one the century after that."

Kaya made her way back to the Cullens and you could have heard a pin drop. Janos shook with rage but didn't make a move. I guess he figured he wasn't going to have any back-up if he tried to take Kaya on. Smart man.

A small woman leech with the body of a gymnast and chestnut hair in a braid hanging past her rather tight leather-clad butt was the first to speak. "Do I fit in your New Order or will you tire of me and murder me like the others?"

"Anica, hush! Do not believe a word that comes out of this dirty vrajitoarea's mouth."

"Call her witch one more time, you pathetic piece of shit, I'll rip your arm off and jam it so far up your fucking ass that they'll have to perform a tonsillectomy to get it out."

Whoa. Who knew Tinkerbell had such a potty-mouth?

"Enough! Everyone calm down and shut the hell up." Everyone mumbled their agreement and looked down at their feet. Boy, how times of changed. Shy, fragile, demure Bella was gone and confident, strong, commanding Bella had taken her place. Permanently, by the looks of it. I still don't know if that's a good thing. Only time will tell, I guess.

She turned to me and handed me Nessie. "Jacob, can you please take Ness outside?"

Definitely not a good sign. "Uh, yeah, sure, Bells." I took Nessie and headed out the door, but stayed close so I could listen. I was curious, so sue me.

"Nessie, I need you to do me a really big favor, ok?" She nodded her head. "I need you to put your fingers in your ears and hum one a song to yourself, ok sweetie?" I did want her to hear what I thought was going to happen in there.

She just nodded her head again and did as I asked. I then focused my attention to what was going inside.

"Although I don't know how Kaya's powers work I do know how Alice's do. When a person makes a decision she sees the most probable path that decision will lead to. So, when did you decide you were going to betray us, Janos?"

"Mistress, they mistaken a fleeting thought for a decision. I would never betray you."

"Do I have to have Halina hold your hand, Janos? You know it can be quite… painful, if you lie to her."

"No, no, there is no need for that. Yes, I admit I had thought that scenario out but I…"

I heard the rustling of Bella's skirt and the swish of the blade slicing through the air. Then I heard Janos' head hit the floor. "Eliska, finish him off." There was a whoosh as fire enveloped the now dead leech.

"You didn't have to kill him, Bella. He…"

"He was a threat to my family, Emmett. That is an automatic death sentence. No second chances, no mercy."

"Is that how you're going to run your kinder, gentler governing council?"

"No, Jasper. I have no intention of ruling the council or even being on it. But they will know that I will not brook any interference with how my family runs its life or in my hunt for the rest of the Volturi. My family will never be in danger again."

To say that this was a totally screwed-up situation would by the biggest understatement of the millennium. What will define a threat to the family in psycho Bella's brave new world? Will my pack be a threat since we are technically sworn enemies of vampires? What about Charlie? He could spill the beans at any time. Will she take him and us out?

Where are we going and why are we in this hand basket?

______________________________________________________________________________

A/N: So that's Bella's new coven. There are two more; Koba and Danylo, and all of them have gifts. We will see more of them in the future.

Next chapter will take place on Nessie's first b-day. There might be a special guest.

Also, as a special treat for anyone who reviews and wants it, I will send you the missing Jasper and Alice lemon as soon as I finish it. It takes place before the trip to Italy so I really can't fit it in the main story anymore. Just be warned that it involves costumes and non-malicious lustful portrayals of cherished animated characters. Just leave a review and let me know if you want it.

Thanks for reading and see you next time-Bob
