"We have company" Anna yelled.
"Lizzy hide." Will growled lowly, pushing me towards a back room.
"William Black, I am not leaving you, not when you have kept me safe all these years. I will not let them kill you because of me." I stated. There was no way I was going to let these monsters named the Cullens hurt my love, my savior, my angel. If that traitor Adam was with them, I would personally rip his eyes out for deceiving Will the way he had. Will had trusted him, thought of him as a friend. There was nothing worse then being deceived by someone you trust with your life or the life of someone you love.
"Lizzy please don't be your stubborn self. I can handle this better if they do not see you." The last part was muffled because he had pushed me into the next room and had shut the door on me. Well he was not going to get rid of me that easy. He was right; I was stubborn. I always had been, and I always would be.
"What did you do with her Will?" I heard a strange voice call from the entrance of our house.
"Collin called me, Adam. He told me what you have done. How you have mislead us all." Will yelled. I had hardly ever heard William yell. He was always so jovial. Always laughing and smiling. Everyone loved him for his good nature. He only ever yelled when he was scared. I took it as a bad sign of what was to come.
"Where is she?" another voice thundered. "I know she is here, and I swear I will rip you to shreds if you do not tell me where she is" the monstrous voice continued. "If you have hurt her in any way so help you God." The voice was cut off by a huge crash, followed by a growl that sounded like it should come from a lion but I knew it was from one of the strangers in the house. These vampires meant business and if they really did work for the Volturi, there was no way that Will and Anna could fight them off. The Volturi only employed those with special abilities and Anna and Will had none that would be useful in defending themselves.
I knew one thing, I had to do something. I could not stay cowering in this room. I would have to make this Edward understand I did not want to be with him. If he refused to accept it I would have no choice to go with him. I would happily sacrifice myself to keep Will alive.
I gently pushed on the door, not wanting to alert anyone to my whereabouts, but something was blocking it. I pushed harder and it slid open with ease, nothing really could withstand vampire strength. I soon realized what had stopped the door from moving the first time. Will had pushed the refrigerator in front of the door, probably trying to hide it.
I silently slinked down the hallway praying that I would not trip for once. I wanted to surprise the Cullens. I wanted to show Edward I was not a helpless human that he could push around anymore.
I entered the large entryway with all the grace and poise I could muster. I had to take control of this situation. He and his family could not see me being weak. Maybe if they saw that I truly did not want to be with them, that I loved William, they would leave us alone to be happy. Fat chance, my stupid conscience told me.
"Bella thank the heavens you are alright." A man with auburn hair said as I came around the corner. His faultlessness took my breath away.

I could feel her presence before I saw her. I snapped my black eyes away from the devil that called himself William Black to my angel Bella. "Bella thank the heavens you are alright." I heard her breath catch in her throat. I was panic-stricken when I saw the expression on her face. She looked at me the same way she had on her first day back at Forks High all those years ago, but that look was soon replaced with a look of fear and hatred. Were those feelings directed towards me? Had she really left me to be with Will on purpose? Maybe Will had not forced her to leave. Alice had been wrong; she had left on her own.
"Bella what are you doing here?" I heard Adam question her.
"Adam stay out of this" Anna's quite but commanding voice came from the corner. I had forgotten about her once I had seen William.
"Traitor" Bella sneered at Adam. It sounded so unnatural to hear her speak in such a tone. "You were supposed to be a friend, but you lead them right to us." She really had wanted to leave me. She considered Adam her best friend along as being her brother but she had just called him a traitor, a traitor for leading us to her.
"Lizzy sweetie, let me handle this." Will addressed Bella stepping in front of her. I could sense the fear in his voice and mind. I could understand him being afraid, there were only him and his sister to fight us off. When I had first broke the door down all I had on my mind was rescuing my angel and then tearing Will into little pieces and then enjoying the pleasure I would receive from burning him, but now I did not know what I wanted to do. I would not force Bella to be with me, and I could not blame Will if it was her free choice.
"No Will, I will not let these monsters hurt you or Anna because of me. If they do not accept that I want to be with you, that we are married and happy, I will go with them. I would rather live out eternity with them, knowing that you are alive, than be the cause of your destruction." She considered us monsters. She obviously hated me. Maybe she hated me for not protecting her all those years ago.
"Bella, what are you talking about? About being married, that is. You and Will are not married." Adam asked her in confusion. Adam made an excellent point. My mind had stopped listening to her when she called me a monster and had not registered that last part.
How could she and Will be married? Had they gotten married in the short time that we had been separated? I searched Will's mind for answers but his mind was strangely blank, almost hollow. I noticed he was staring at me intently with the trace of a small smile playing on his lips.
"Will and I are married," she said putting extra emphasis on the are, "how would you know if we were not? And my name is Lizzy not Bella. I have not been Bella since Edward destroyed me."

"Ah Bella, I think I would know if you and Will got married because you are my best friend." The traitor said. He calling me his best friend confused me. I had never seen him before in my life, maybe he considered me a friend because he had spent so many years helping Will protect me before he turned into a traitor.
"Lizzy and I got married in New York a few weeks ago Adam. Anna was not even there, so obviously you would not know."
I noticed the confused looks on all of the Cullen's faces along with Adams. It was the first time I truly looked at the rest of the vampires standing in my house. The blonde female was amazingly beautiful even for a vampire. Standing beside her was a huge vampire that I knew we would have trouble fighting off if this turned violent. Behind them stood a women looking at me with so much love and concern I knew she could not be dangerous. Standing protectively in front of her stood a man that had intelligence naturally radiating off of him. To the right of me stood a small pixie like girl with short black hair, she looked utterly confused and was shooting daggers at Will and Anna with her eyes. Beside her stood a blond man, he had his eyes closed and was breathing deeply, he seemed to be trying to relax. It was strange how none of their eyes were red. I would have thought the Volturi would not deal with vegetarians, but stranger things had happened.
When I got to the last Cullen I knew instantly that it was Edward. His face was full of disparity and I had the strongest sensation to reach out to him and touch his beautifully tortured face. Remember what he did to you Lizzy, I reminded myself. The memory of what Will had told me made me draw back, stopping myself for caring for the monster that had tortured me as a human and was planning on destroying my safety and happiness as a vampire.
"That is ridiculous" the pixie one said "Bella would have told us if she had gotten married." This confused me royally. Why in all that is good would I tell them that I had gotten married? I had not even known of them before today. Something was defiantly amiss.
"Alice don't." Edward said, sounding defeated.
"What are you talking about Edward? Don't you dare give up that easily. Bella was truly happy with you. She was not pretending, something has happened, so stop it." Alice scolded Edward. She was crazy if she thought I had been happy with him, had she been blind?
"I was not happy with him" I blurted out. I had not meant to say it, but once I did it seemed that I could not shut up. "You were obsessed with me!" I said turning to face Edward. The sadness in his eyes almost broke my heart, but I continued on remembering what Will had told me. "You broke my heart countless times. You treated me as a pet. I was nothing but a toy to you, and when I tried to escape you tried to kill me. I can never be thankful enough that Will saved me. I don't care if you work for the Volturi or not. You can take me if that will make you happy but I will always love Will."
I had expected some sort of reaction from Edward, but not the one I received. The sadness in his features disappeared when I was speaking and was replaced by utter confusion soon to be replaced with deep rage directed at Will.
"What lies have you told her? And how did you get her to believe them?" Edward growled menacingly, taking a step towards Will, only stopping because I instinctively stepped in front of him.
William only laughed his good natured laugh and looked at Anna who gave him a nonchalant shrug of her shoulders. "Might as well tell you, hell I could tell you everything and you would not remember a word of it afterwards. So why the hell not? You want to know my little secret Edward? You got it." Will said, addressing Edward like he was talking to his best friend, but what the secret he was referring to. Whatever it was, I had no knowledge of what it could be.
