A/N: Please don't kill me for I know I'm evil.

Chapter 14

I've never been so nervous in my life; I could die today. My family and friends could die today. I'm beginning to think I should have let Jasper change me, then I would have more control over what was going to be happening.

I know Jasper is trying to keep me calm, but like always; I seem to be blocking him. His touch is the only thing that is keeping me sane at this point in time.

Edward informed us that they would be here soon. I could tell from Carlisle's as well as Jasper's that Esme and Alice were with them. I knew, deep down, Alice hated me and wanted to see me dead, so she could have Jasper back until she found her true mate. She then would throw him away as if he was nothing.

This thought only fueled my newfound confidence. She would never get her hands on my man again.

I could finally see a huge moving mass and knew at any moment I would be standing in front of the three kings. A shiver went through me as the mass came to a stop. I could feel all eyes on me. God I'm not ready to die.

"Ah Carlisle I see you've gathered many friends to die with you today my dear friend." The voice had to have come from Aro. I've seen the pictures of the three kings, and I knew he was the leader.

"Aro, I must not be a friend if you plan to kill me today. All these people are here to see and understand why the kings who rule us and have decreed it to be a crime to kill one's mate, kill the mate of The God of War, just because she discovered our kind by pure accident," Carlisle replied.

I took a few steps forward, and as I did, so I felt Jasper try to pull me back, but I would not heed to this.

"Aro, Caius, Marcus, I'm Isabella Swan, aka the American Geisha, aka the assassin of vampires. I've never meant anyone any harm. I was just trying to stay alive. I understand your laws now and understand why the death threats at the beginning, but why now that I'm mated to The God of War?" I stated my case with conviction.

"Ah, Isabella you forgot one important name, the destroyer. I have it on good authority, that you plan to destroy our kingdom," Aro snidely answered back.

"And whose authority is it that says this lie?" I questioned back.

"It's no lie as visions don't lie my dear."

"I'm not your dear, and I ask again on whose authority is it, that says this lie?"

"You know as well as I do whose visions I've seen."

"Oh, yes I know all about Alice's visions. I also know that she can't see me or anyone who is close to me. Yes, it is true she has seen the down fall of the kings, but have you ever seen me in any of her vision?"

"No, I haven't now that you mention it."

"Then why do you think I'm here to destroy your kingdom?"

"You've killed many of our kind already, what's to stop you from continuing to kill until all are destroyed?"

"Why would I destroy a whole race, when I'm mated to one of your kind?"

"Why indeed?" Marcus wondered out loud.

"We have one amongst us who can detect lies ask him, and he'll tell you I mean no harm. I have no intentions of destroying any more. All I want is to live in peace with my mate."

"You have guts to stand here and tell us you mean us no harm when you know damn well that you've already killed many of my kind! You're the first human to do so, and for that crime alone you must die."

"Your race and my race both have strong survival instincts. I was just trying to stay alive, while I figured out why you wanted me dead."

"Oh, my little one, you know as well as I do."
