Song: Alone by Alan Walker
JPOV
I stared in fright at the storm rolling in and realised it was time...they would be here soon. I zoomed to the barn where Bella was and caught her in my solid arms, giving her a hug and a deep kiss; I nodded to Jake who signalled Sam, Sam began to shake until he turned into his black wolf figure, Leah did too like everyone else. We all jogged outside and met everyone anxiously on the field. Esme and Carlisle stood firmly together in front of everyone holding hands, in a row behind them was Amun and Kebi, Eleazer and Carmen, Senna and Zafrina, Vladimir and Stefan, Sam and Jake along with Liam and Siobhan. Behind them was Benjamin and Tia, Maggie and Embry-in wolf form, Leah and Paul and the rest of the wolves...Then at the back was Bella and me, Kate and Garrett, Edward and Tanya, Rosalie and Emmett plus Seth. "There coming! I hear there thoughts" Edward's voice cracked as he said this, Bella looked worriedly at me and I felt awful but angry-no one should hurt her like this! Suddenly a swarm of cloaked figures were at the other end of the field in a straight line, they took off their hoods to reveal their faces with a sickening glint in their red eyes...nothing like my Bella's.
"It's been a while Carlisle" Aro's lips twisted into a sick attempt at a smile making Bella cuddle into me more, I noticed Jane looked around to see who she would go for first as did her brother Alec; Carlisle stepped forward slightly with Esme standing her ground.
"Too long Aro" Carlisle said with a slight hint of sarcasm in there, "I assure you my family mean you now harm. We aren't here to pose a threat" Carlisle said making a gesture to all of us. Then-the bitch herself-stepped forward looking angry. Alice. Along with Irina.
"Is that why you've gathered an entire army?" Alice said in disgust, she looked Bella up and down. Aro glared at her with a hand up to stop her from further speaking-Alice huffed like a little child making me want to kill her more.
"Alice does have a valued point Carlisle...Oh and Bella! Congratulations on your new relationship" Aro smirked evilly as he clasped his hands together. I suppressed a growl whilst Carlisle's body tensed angrily. Bella looked up at me with her beautiful face; I kissed her deeply like this was our last kiss.

When they arrived I felt a sickening feel at the pit of my stomach, I needed to protect my family and everyone else. I felt Esme's muscles tense as the Volturi neared us-I looked around at Jasper who nodded, then Emmett who nodded and finally Edward who also nodded; a sign that they would fight for their ladies. I wanted to make sure that absolutely no one got hurt but I couldn't! I was so frustrated, we never did anything wrong yet they thought they could tear us down like a house of cards. We were stronger than flimsy cards-we were like cast iron gates. "It's been a while Carlisle" I saw Aro's futile attempt at a smile, Esme gripped my hand tigther as I stepped forward slightly but she still stood her ground like the strong woman she was.
"Too long Aro" I said trying to hide the sarcasm in my voice and make it sound genuine, "I assure you my family mean you now harm. We aren't here to pose a threat" I said with desperations seeping through my voice, I gestured to my family making me wince at how I could lose them today. Then my previous daughter-Alice-stepped forward like a little child.
"Is that why you've gathered an entire army?" she looked disgusted with us; I felt Edward growling behind me at her so I gave him a reassuring look. Aro held his hand up to dismiss her notion, she looked like a spoilt brat. It would've been entertaining if she wasn't trying to get us killed.
"Alice does have a valued point Carlisle...Oh and Bella! Congratulations on your new relationship" Aro smirked evilly making my entire body tense from anger-how dare he address my daughter like that! I could hear Jasper's low growl but it was replaced by Bella kissing him. "We do have a proposal my old friend" Aro continued his face twitching like he wanted to smile. I frowned curiously and squinted at him, Eleazer looked at me confused.
"And what would that be?" I asked tilting my head cautiously at his announcement. Aro laughed once, quick and short-Jane was staring daggers through Bella like she wanted to kill her; she probably did. But none of us would let that happen. Alice pursed her lips when she looked at me, I glared at her imagining Rosalie was doing the same.
"We have heard of Bella and Benjamin's powers...we are interested in having them with the Volturi. If one of them joins us, we will leave with peace in the air" Aro proposed. My eyes widened when he said this; surely Benjamin would volunteer...but he didn't. Instead I heard Jaspers panicked and knowing voice.
"Bella you can't!" Jasper said in a high pitched tone, Bella bit her lip as she looked at him sadly-she was going to go with them to save us..."Bella I will not let you do this!" Jasper insisted with noticeable tears gathering in his eyes. I growled at Aro's satisfied face as he raised an eyebrow at me. I saw Rosalie's confused face, Emmett looked angry along with Kate. Esme looked upset and irritated.

I was confused as to why Jasper sounded panicked and upset until it hit me-Bella was actually agreeing to go with Aro to save us! I looked around at everyone panicked, I was not going to loose my daughter again! Bella walked to the front with Carlisle and stood firmly just behind him and inches in front of me; she took a deep breath, "I'll join you, but no harm will come to the my family or any of the people here in future...deal?" Bella said annoyed. She couldn't actually be agreeing to this?! I began walking to her but Amun stopped me by dragging me back-selfish! I saw Jasper running to her.
"Isabella we have a deal" Aro laughed quietly as Bella turned to us. Jasper slid down next to her as the lightening cackled and the thunder rumbled, he wrapped his arms around her legs on his knees and sobbed into her clothes.
"Angel please don't leave me!" Jasper sobbed uncontrollably, I felt my heart shatter for my babies-I tugged away from Amun but his harsh grip kept me caged. Bella began to cry as she tried to move away. "Bella!" Jasper said loudly as he stood face to face with her; but Bella wasn't going to change her mind if it would save us...she was too caring. "I love you" he whispered against her forehead making her cry more. I whimpered slightly at the sight of my husband stuttering as he too cried.
"I love you too, goodbye Cowboy" Bella whispered and she walked ahead to Aro's waiting arms. This was wrong, I yelled as I tried to get away from Amun. Rosalie marched forward but was stopped by Carlisle who had tears streaming down his gentle face.
"Hey!" Rosalie screamed to Bella her voice wracked with sobs, Bella stopped but couldn't bear to look so she kept walking, "You said you weren't gonna leave! Your my fucking sister!" Rosalie yelled more fiercely as Emmett picked her up and held her tightly.
"Please don't Bella!" Emmett tried to get Bella's attention but she carried on walking. Bella arrived at Aro's side and with that he handed her a cloak to which she put on and they ran away. Away from us.
