Hey yallz! I'm sorry for the delay on updating this chapter. I just got in from Florida and have been recuperating from a week of non stop fun. So here it is, the last chapter of this story. Hope you guys enjoy it!

Ch. 14: The Volturi: Final Confrontation

The time had finally come for the main event. In mere minutes the Volturri would arrive and partake in their evaluation of my change. Thankfully, I was fully prepared for anything they decided to throw at me, for I had practiced for two straight weeks, perfecting and honing my new abilities.

I had no doubt in my capabilities. My family didn't either. Edward, Alice, Rosalie, Jasper, Emmett, Carlisle, and Esme were all here to support me; defend me if need be. Although, if things got ugly…I could just turn them all to stone then burn their asses. But, then again I'm not a sadistic psycho like James was. I shivered at the memory.

I looked slowly around the clearing before spotting said clan making their way towards us at a leisurely pace.

"There they are," I pointed. The Cullens turned towards my pointed finger and nodded.

"Ready Bella?" Emmett teased, "They don't bite…much."

"Oh shut up," I growled.

Edward chuckled at our playful teasing. Even in tense moments like these, we could find something to joke about. Emmett and I had become like literal brother and sister; at least the relationship seems that way. He was constantly doing everything in his power to annoy me to the brink on insanity. But, I loved the big bear and that's all the mattered.

We were brought out of our musings by eight vampires entering the clearing. With a quick scan of the field we were standing in, I could see that we were surrounded by at least thirty full fledged vamps. A little nerve wracking if you ask me.

Aro, I noticed, stood at the front. Next to him stood Felix and Demetri on his right, Jane on his left. I gulped when I remembered the girl's freakish powers. The image of Edward writhing on the floor in pain bringing a sense of foreboding to me.

Aro calmly stepped forward, "Hello Cullens; Miss Swan."

"Actually," I corrected, "it's Miss Cullen now."

He looked at me with a fake grin, "Is it now?"

I held out my left hand with the ring on it. I could tell that he was not interested in being here, that he really disliked me, and that he had intent to kill in his eyes. He smelt of sickeningly sweet honey with a smoky finish. It was nauseating. I tried hard to keep from gagging.

He took a deep breath and turned to Carlisle. "Well it seems as if you kept your part of the bargain. The girl is clearly vampire. Our only concerns are her stability, aka: blood-lust and her abilities should she have any."

He didn't give Carlisle a chance to respond before he walked briskly up to me. He stopped only inches from my face. His eyes were hard, emotionless, demanding. It creeped me out. His gaze swooped over my relaxed form and he snorted in apparent disdain. With an about face, he turned and went to Jane. She stepped forward when he commanded her to.

With his attention back on me, he spoke. "Now I'm going to run a few tests to see if you are worth keeping alive."

Several growls were heard throughout the clearing. "Ah, ah, ah," Aro chastised, "It must be done."

"I know for a fact that I have every right to live, and I don't need you to be the judge of that," I spat.

He frowned, "Well my dear, it appears you have no choice," he ushered to Felix, "Bring out the human!"

My eyes widened. If he brought a human here then…

He noticed my posture and smirked, "No worries my dear. The mortal is unconscious."

I let out a breath of relief and watched carefully. Aro began his explanation. "Now, with this human, I'm going to test your resistance to your blood cravings. Whether you can withstand the scent of a human blood. If it appears to be too much of a hassle for you, you die," he said simply.

I mock gasped and placed a hand over my heart dramatically, "You wound me oh-so-cocky one, for my capabilities are far greater than you think."

"Know your place!" Demetri shouted.

I rolled my eyes, "Oh like your one to speak, watching from the sidelines."

He growled and looked as though he was about to pounce.

"Now, now," Felix muttered, "No need for such animosity."

I felt a wave of calm wash over us and knew Jasper was causing it.

Aro cleared his throat. "Now if there are no more interruptions; let us begin."

The human was a small woman, about 23 maybe. She had long blonde hair and a pale complexion. Her body was small, not much of a development. She looked about five foot three inches. Her scent hit me hard and I tried not to grimace at the smell. After a few weeks of practice I had gotten better at ignoring the repulsive scents of humans.

All the vampires watched for my reaction. I just stared blankly at Aro. After about ten minutes of utter silence, I looked to Edward. He looked amused. Apparently, their thoughts were very humorous.

"How do you resist it?!" Jane barked.

I shrugged, "Simple; the scent of a human repulses me. I have no desire what so ever to consume something that smells so vile. Ugh!"

They all gasped. "That impossible!" Demetri glared.

I shrugged again, "I've never been a normal person."

Aro snapped his fingers and Jane stepped further forward. He was glaring with a look of pure hatred on his face at me. "I don't know why, but the Volturi is interested in you. From what I can see you are a weak and bizarre creature that does not belong amongst us! You are not normal; a freak! I have never in all my years as a vampire seen such a…a discussing outcome of a change. You don't consume humans! Pssht! I have had enough of your lies, and your cockiness. Prepare yourself! For I have planned for your defeat wench! Die!"

I looked at him blankly. Was this guy serious or just mentally incapacitated? Carlisle stepped forward, "Now Aro be reasonable. There is no need for vi…"

He didn't get to finish because Aro snapped his fingers and Jane came rushing at me with a killing intent. Before she could reach me, however, I froze her body. She tried to break my hold but was unable to do so.

"What is this!?" she yelled.

I smiled, "You are trapped in my control now. Your body is mine to do as I please. You see, my ability is telekinesis. I can move and control things with my mind, including people and the elements."

"Bullshit!" Demetri yelled before charging. I narrowed my eyes and a ring of fire surrounded him.

I looked to Aro who was fuming with anger, "Need anymore convincing?"

And so the fight began.

A few moments later and I had reduced thirty vampires to about ten. I was a bit winded but still able to put up a fight if need be. Edward and the rest had been a great help in keeping some of the others distracted while I was busy fending off another attacker. Aro, Jane, Demetri, and Felix had retreated into the forest to watch from afar…cowards.

Once I had reduced the numbers from thirty to ten, it appeared I had made my point. When they emerged from the forest, Felix and Jane had looks of fear on their faces.

"So…much power," Jane stuttered, "How?"

I shrugged, "I guess I just got lucky. I didn't ask for these abilities."

Aro approached me slowly, apprehensively. Standing nose to…chest with him he uttered his final words. "Make sure you remember this Bella. You may have power…but the Volturi has more. I can't promise anything, but be on your guard. The Volturi can be quite…unpredictable."

Wait. Was he…warning me?

I nodded, "Thank you for the tip Aro. Sorry about your…vampires."

He shook his head, "Plenty more where those came from."

I rolled my eyes, "Of course."

He signaled for his fighters to begin their exit. He was the last to leave. "Remember Bella…this isn't over!"

"But that's just it Aro…it is," I sighed.

And then they were gone, as quickly as they had come. It almost seemed like it hadn't happened. Although, evidence of my element control charred the field. I stood there, staring at the place where they had disappeared, I felt two strong arms wrap protectively around my waist. "You did beautifully My Love," lips whispered in my ear. I sighed, "I guess I did. I just wish it could have been without the violence."

The lips gently nibbled my ear; I moaned. "No need to dwell on it now. Besides, he started it."

I laughed and turned in my husbands arms. "True," I said to those golden eyes filled with pride.

He embraced my passionately, "You are truly remarkable Bella."

"You are," Jasper agreed, coming up beside me.

"That was amazing power you displayed," Carlisle praised.

I smiled, "Thanks. It was kinda fun putting Aro in his place."

They all laughed at my declaration. Edward pulled me back into his arms and gazed at me lovingly. "Now what to do," he whispered.

"Hmmm," I pretended to ponder, "Well how about we go home, take a nice bath, and then talk about that trip to Alaska."

"Sounds good to me," he answered before his lips covered my own.

And so I stood in the middle of previous battle field, kissing my husband, surrounded by the people I loved, and completely vampire. And you know what? I couldn't be happier. Well I could be if Emmett would stop yelling at us to get a room….

THE END!!

That's the end my readers. I hope you enjoyed this story as much as I did. I'm going to post an author's note about some upcoming fics I'm going to be posting. So look for it and please review. The more the merrier. And, I know it wasn't a big detailed battle scene… that's because I'm a lover not a fighter and prefer romance over violence. So, sorry to those who expected a big fight or something. Love Y'allz. And Thanks a billion! L8rs!
