Chapter Nineteen

RPOV

What was going to happen to us? Where is my Emmie? Irina and I were huddled together in a corner of our cell. We were afraid of what might come through that door.

"I am so sorry, Rose! So sorry!" Irina apologized for the thousandth time.

When I was first thrown into a room with Irina, my first instinct was to rip her stinkin' head off. It was her fault that we were in this mess in the first place. She is the one that misunderstood Nessie. She is the one that ran to Aro without talking to us first. HER OWN FAMILY!! Seriously, I didn't want anything to do with her.

I was angry, no I was pissed. She betrayed us. Her family. HER FAMILY. But then I remembered what Bella had said. She told us not to blame Irina for what she has done. She told us to think about what she has been through, to put ourselves into her shoes so to speak. I was still angry at her for what she had done. If I was in her place, I still wouldn't have done it, but I could see and understand the motives behind her actions. Even if I didn't agree with them.

Now, we were huddled together in the corner of a brick room awaiting our fate.

When I first awaked here, I paced the floors trying to figure out a means of escape; but there was nothing, no way out. Soon Irina convinced me that there was no way out. She had been locked in this cell from the moment after she addressed Aro.

She looked terrible. Her clothes were ripped and dirty. Her hair tangled and matted. But worst of all was her eyes. They were black as night from her hunger, and the normal fierce fire that burned within them was extinguished into nothingness. She had given up hope.

"It's alright, Irina. Bella will get us out of here." I cooed to her, hoping that my words stood true.

"No. She can't. No one can." She whimpered.

"I know my sister, and she will save us." I replied with conviction. Bella will save us somehow. I know it. Everyone thought that I was fiercely protective of my family, but in all truth, I don't hold a candle to Bella.

I have seen, first hand, what happens when someone threatens her family. I myself did it unintentionally, and so has Alice. It really is a sight to behold. These vampires don't know who they are messing with. This time they have pissed of the wrong vampire. This time they may not make it without loss.

"WHERE IS MY WIFE! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH HER! IF HE HURT HER I WILL KILL YOU!" Emmett's voice called. I sprung up and ran to the opposite wall. He was there on the other side! I tried to break through the brick, but was unable. Our captors had somehow made them vampire proof.

"I'M HERE, EMMETT! I'M HERE!" I called out, hopping he could hear me, but knowing that was unlikely.

Suddenly, I heard a loud crash; the result of a vampire crashing into a brick surface. Then I heard what had to be the worst sound in my existence. Emmett's voice crying out in pure agony.

I started banging on the wall franticly; trying to get to my mate, my husband, my love. This had to be the worst form of torture possible, hearing one's love calling out in pain and agony but being unable to do anything about it, being unable to run to them. I would gladly take any form of physical pain imaginable. I would gladly burn for all eternity then to hear my Emmett in so much pain.

I crumbled to the ground, dry sobbing as I called out his name. His pain was my pain.

After some time - minutes or hours, I do not know- I felt a pair of arms wrap around me. I clutched onto Irina with all the strength that I had, my body still shacking with sobs.

She rocked me back and forth while rubbing soothing circles on my back, calming me without words.

"Emmett is strong, Rosalie. He will be alright." She said in a low voice with little emotion.

She tried to persuade me to move back to our corner, but I wouldn't go. Instead I lend up against the wall separating me from my Emmie, and rested my one hand and my face against it. A small attempt to get closer to him.

She sat beside me, one arm still wrapped around me.

"I hope you're right." She said suddenly. I turned to look at her, and in her eyes was a small glimmer of hope.

She saw my questioning look and continued. "You seem to have lots of faith in the one you call Bella. I hope you are right. I hope that somehow she will be able to save us."

"She will, Irina. My sister will save us." I promised firmly.

EZPOV (A little more Eleazar love!)

Bella's commanding display of power was fascinating to watch. Never in all my years have I seen anything like it, or have a met such a creature. She is truly one of a kind.

When she awoke from her trancelike state, I was overwhelmed with the amount of power I could feel rolling off of her in waves. I am still unable to get a read on her, and I find that maddening!

When I first saw her eyes I was terrified and yet I was unable to look away. The swirling mix of gold, red, and black was very hypnotic. When you looked into those eyes, you knew your place, they demanded respect. They were the eyes of an extremely powerful creature, one that could end your life if given the reason.

However, in the back of my mind, I knew that Bella would never hurt me and that I had no reason to be afraid. It was quite unnerving to have no control over my reactions.

But now that I look at it, it made sense. When Bella's eyes were golden, when she was herself, everyone is drawn to her. They wanted to get to know her, and would do anything to protect her. When Bell's eyes burn black, they are afraid of her. They know that she is upset and not to anger her further. And when Bella's eyes swirl gold, red and black, they trap you and provoke terror in you. You have gone too far. As long as she maintains eye contact, there is nothing you can do.

I also believe that her power is freely flowing through her system when her eyes are this hypnotic swirl of color. I believe that everyone can sense, on a subconscious level, just how powerful she is when they see these eyes.

Carlisle and I have totally redesigned Bella's training after seeing her display last night.

She did a lot of amazing things yesterday, but I am sure that there is still more she can do. I can't get a read on it, but for some reason, I just know.

"Ok, Bella. Shield the first group from both mental and physical attack." Kate called pointing at a group of people by the river. We have split everyone into three groups for her training. Two groups of vampires and one group containing the wolves.

"The group of vamps by the house is going to be the bad guys, and you have to stop their attack. The wolves will sit this one out." She instructed Bella. Bella nodded once, confirming that she understood.

The vampires in that group had already been instructed to attack the wolves instead of the other group of vampires. Everyone was in on this plan except of Bella, Nessie, and the wolves. Edward would know, having read it in the others minds.

I know it was wrong to trick Bella, but we needed to see if she could focuses on everything around her, to take in the unexpected and react to it in time. Even if she was unable, no one would get hurt. Every vampire here knows what the wolves mean to Bella, and no one wants to feel her wrath if something were to happen.

"Now!" Kate called.

As soon as the words left her mouth, the 'villain' group started running towards the 'good' group, however, halfway there they shifted their direction and started towards the unaware wolves. They phased quickly, busting out of their clothes, having been caught off guard.

Not having missed a beat, Bella's eyes immediately burned black as a ferocious snarl left her lips.

Four humongous twisters appeared and circled protectively around the wolf pack. Then those who were attacking stopped in their tracks. A second latter they were lifted into the air and brought to rest in front of Bella.

Unable to move, all of their eyes shown with fear. It was very unnerving, as a vampire, to lose complete control over one's body.

"That was not a good idea." She said in a cold voice that sent shivers down my spine.

Her captives' eyes turned pleading upon hearing her words. They were afraid of what would happen next, they have seen her powers first hand and knew that she can end them in seconds without much effort on her part.

I on the other hand knew that she wouldn't truly hurt them. She thought of them as family, and Bella would protect her family no matter what. Kate, Carlisle (holding Nessie), and I watched from our perch on the porch.

"You will not try that again, no matter what the others have told you. Do you understand me?" She demanded. Well, it seems that she has caught on to our plans and has effectively put a stop to them.

She released them after sensing their agreement and then spoke again. "That goes for all of you. Oh, and Eleazar?" She said turning towards me. "Do not try that again."

I gulped before nodded my head franticly.

The tornados disappeared as she took off into the woods.

"Where'd she go?" I asked, shocked by her sudden disappearance.

"To get the wolves more clothing, seeing as you shocked them into phasing." Edward laughed.

"I think we need to plan our next move carefully. She was completely serious when she warned us not to try that again." Jasper added his tone was a mix between amusement and pride.

"Damn right I was." Bella's voice rang as she reappeared from the forest, arms full of shorts and what appeared to be one dress. I was still taken aback at how quick she was, even though I have witnessed it many times before.

"Come on you lot, follow me into the words." She commanded the wolves.

A few minutes later they reappeared from the woods dressed in cut offs, well except for the one female, whom wore a dress.

"Bad move, dude. Bad move." Jacob said shaking his head and laughing. The others chuckled along with him.

"Totally. You should have known better, Carlisle." Embry added shaking his head. I looked over to Carlisle who was looking a little sheepish. What on earth is going on?

"I don't understand." I said aloud. This caused the wolves and the rest of the Cullens to laugh lightly.

"Eleazar. You planed a surprise attack on an unsuspecting group of Bella's family. But that really wasn't your misstep. Your misstep is that Bella's son was in said group." Sam explained slowly as if talking to a second grader.

Realization dawned on me. Seth. I knew that Bella considered Seth to be her son. And I also knew that Bella would do anything to protect her family, especially her children.

Sam continued when he saw that I understood. "You are very lucky. If Bella wasn't so controlled, and if she didn't think of you all as family, I would have hated to see the outcome of that attack. It is the worst possible thing you could do, attacking one of Bella's children."

"Well, I admit that I should have thought of that before hand, however, it was necessary. We needed to know that Bella could still sense and react to something when she wasn't expecting it." I explained.

"I understand your motives and reasoning, however, I wouldn't try it again." Bella said. "Now, it's time to get this show on the road."

The rest of training was organized chaos. Everyone was split into two groups, the 'bad' and the 'good'. The 'bad' group would attack the 'good' while also attacking Bella. Bella was able to protect everyone on her side, and fend off personal attacks. Edward was always by her side, watching her back while still keeping a close eye on Seth.

I have a feeling that he too now sees Seth as a son. I know for a fact that he would protect the boy from harm for the sake of Bella's happiness, but there seems to be a bit more to it than that. Oh well, I would have to ask.

About an hour into training I saw Bella freeze. Her head quickly snapped to meet Edwards before she yelled.

"Stop!" She screamed freezing everyone into place, forcing them to listen to her command.

She unfroze them just as quickly. Kate, Carlisle and I quickly rushed to her.

"What it is, love?" Edward asked his voice full of concern as he pulled her to him.

"They're coming." She whispered cryptically.

"Who's coming?" Edward asked, looking from her to Alice, the latter shrugging.

"The Volturi. They are on their way now. They will be here in ten minutes and twenty-nine seconds." She answered. As she did, there were many gasps of shock and horror. We were supposed to have about two and a half more weeks until then came.

"How do you know, Bella? Alice hasn't had a vision?" I asked eagerly. Some doubted her, but I believed her fully.

"I can't explain it. I just know. They will come through the woods in the front of the house in nine minutes and forty-five seconds, bringing with them Emmett, Rosalie, and Irina. Alice will get a vision in 5 . . . 4 . . . 3 . . . 2 . . . 1." She answered, and right on schedule, Alice was pulled into a vision.

"She's right! They are coming! Now!" Alice squeaked out.

"Amazing." I whispered. Bella just keeps getting more and more fascinating.

"Quickly, to the front of the house. This is happening sooner than we thought, but everyone knows the plan. Stick to the plan. Now move." Edward yelled taking charge as Bella took hold of Nessie.

We all ran to the front yard, getting information, preparing ourselves for those that were to come from the woods shortly.

Well, there it is. I hope you liked it. I know it is a little shorter than the past few chapters, but it seemed like a good place to stop. The next chapter should be longer. We are getting closer to the end now. I am not sure how many more chapters there will be. I may know the eventual outcome, but I make up the rest as I go along, so you never know what will happen. Thank you for reading! Until next time!!!

As Always,

Thank You!!!!!!!
