Margie walked with a distraught Rosalie back to the holding cells. When through the security Margie opened the cell in which Rosalie was kept. When Rosalie was locked up and set Margie turned to the two cells that held Carlisle and Esme.

"The queen would like to see you both together, now." The two cells were open and two guards took the arms of both, leading them away."

"Wait, what did you do with Rosalie? What did you do to my wife?"

"I did nothing, the queen on the other hand did exactly what she said she was going to do to each of you; make you feel the pain she felt. Don't worry she'll be back to normal after she has fed." Margie turned and walked out, catching up to the guards. In the throne room Margie walked towards the queen who was sitting at her throne. The queen barley acknowledge Esme and Carlisle when they walked in.

"Margie, back already?"

"Yes your majesty and I brought the parents like you requested."

"Thank you Margie, would you be a dear and go check on Gianni and our little guest?"

"Of course your highness." As Margie left the room that only left Bella, Esme and Carlisle. Isabella stood from her throne and walked over to them as they stood clutching onto eachother in the center of the room. She walked up to them with what seemed to be a new light in her eyes. It was almost as if there was a light switch and she was back to the way she was before they left. Suddenly she hugged both together at once.

"Why did you guys flinch, you're my parents, do you I scare you guys?" A single tear ran down her cheek and fell.

"No honey, it's just you've changed so much since the last time we saw you, we didn't what to think." Esme reached forward and gathered Isabella in a tight hug.

"We thought we had lost you baby, we've missed you so much."

"I've missed you too mom, so much." Bella put her head on Esme's shoulder, she then pulled away and turned to Carlisle. She gathered him in her arms and rested her head on his shoulder for what seemed like forever. Carlisle was tense at first but soon relaxed and placed his arms around Isabella. After a few minutes the two pulled apart.

"Come and sit with me, we have a lot to talk about."Esme and Carlisle followed suite and sat in two chairs that suddenly appeared near the main throne.

"Bella, sweetie can i ask what exactly it was you did to Rose and Emmett? They both looked really troubled and not themselves when they were brought to the holding cells."

"I taught them each a lesson, speaking of lesson Margie!" The double doors that opened into the throne room flew open and there stood Margie. Margie walked with a slight smile upon her face and flipped her hair back like she was a model.

"You called your majesty?"

"Yes where are Gianni and Verna, I thought i told you to get them both."

"Yes Gianni and Verna were just getting something to eat and then they will be joining us."

"Excellent" The same dark glint in Isabella's eye that was there when the Cullens had first arrived flickered in her eyes, a slow smile spread on her lips. Just as she was about to open her mouth to say something the doors opened again and in walked Gianni and Verna in tow.

"Verna sweetheart please come meet two very special people to me." Bella stood and held her hands out to Verna, Verna walked forward and took the hands in her own.

"Verna darling these are my parents so to speak Carlisle and Esme. Mom dad this is a very special guest of mine Verna. Verna sweetie won't you say hello?"

"Hello" Verna stood close to Bella and clutched at her arm.

"Hello Verna, do you live here?" Carlisle always the curious one.

"Verna doesn't live here,like i said she is simply visited for a while. Though she is very special and we will miss her when she leaves."

"What makes her so special, just out of curiousity?"

"Well, she's the focal point of your lesson Carlisle."

"What?"

"You ask so many questions, very rarely do you have an answer. Have you ever the saying curiousity killed the cat? You see Carlisle what makes dearest Verna so special is you have the opportunity to save her or leave her to die." A maniac laugh errupted from Isabella that seemed untame.

"Wonderful Carlisle the one who never killed another living soul, never even dreamed of it, so pure. Here's a question for you my dear, how far are you willing to go to save your wife?Ask yourself do you love your wife more or your clean slate? These are the rules, quite simple really, you will be pressed for time. Your wife and Verna will be trapped in a ring of fire. As the clock ticks the ring of fire will become smaller and smaller until it will burn Verna and Esme. Esme your beautiful wife will be sitting in a chair while chained with chains made of the same impenetrable metal as the holding cell, when burned she'll be torn apart. The object is simple choose one of the girls and leave the other to die,if you can't choose then both will die. Are you ready to play?"

"Bella I know you were hurt when we left but please i know deep down there is still that Bella we grew to love. Please, please don't make me do this, don't be a monster."

"Sorry life can get boring i enjoy a good, let the fun begin set it up guards!" When Verna and Esme were seated in their chairs, after much struggle from both all was set. Bela took her seat at her throne. Carlisle stood near Esme conflicted, if he could cry he would be. Carlisle turned to Bella opening his mouth when Bella waved her hand and suddenly two rings of fire appeared surrounding Esme and Verna. Bella laughed as she watched Carlisle's head turn back and forth so fast like a cartoon character thinking hard on what to do. He loved his wife but couldn't think of killing another being. A few minutes passes and the rings slowly shrank.

'Carlisle please save the girl, just do it. I know that if you could save us both you would. I lived my life let the human live hers." Esme closed her eyes and Verna cried uncontrollably. As the flames closed in close enough to catch clothes on fire Verna began to cry. Suddenly a fierce looked appeared in Carlisle's eyes. He jumped the ring and grabbed Verna quickly, chair and all and jumped out of harm's way. Not bothering to undo Verna from her confines he turned to Bella who was laughing manically. Not waiting another second Carlisle turned and jumped the ring that was basically engulfing Esme. Esme and Carlisle landed on the floor outside the fire ring. Breathing heavy even though they didn't have to Esme and Carlisle clutched at eachother. They turned towards the steps of the queen, who was clapping slowly.

"Well done my dear, you certaintly know how to redefine the rules. Here i was hoping that somebody would die and you had to play mr. heroic pants."

"Is that what it's all about, watching someone die, has your life become so pathetic that you have to stoop that low?" Carlisle raised his voice and screamed, Bella looked shocked along with Esme. Carlisle was thrown backwards into a wall.

"You think you know best because you have been around for so long. You believe that anyone is capable of going to heaven, redemption. I have spent many years spilling blood on this very floor, that old Bella is gone. You want to bring her back, even if I let her back in how could i forget what i've done? I'm the ultimate monster, I wanted you to feel the pain i've felt for so long. A broken heart can make anyone do despicable things, can you imagine Esme telling you that she no longer loved you?"

"Bella I know that i can't exactly relate but i can help you, we all can help you."

"No you can't, no one can help me. Guards return them to their holding cells.
