Previously:
"...Bella answered in a whisper. "Edward? What's going on? Aro is..."
Her phone disconnected and Edward knew then without a doubt that his mate, as well as Emmett's was in danger. He also knew he, Eleazar, Emmett, Jasper and Fred were in danger of being destroyed."
~o0o~
Bella and Rosalie were about the leave the castle to hunt. This would be the first time they'd do this without their mates. There was no doubt that they knew what to do, it was just the thought that their mates had just left the castle and the pain of missing their presence was almost too much for the both of them. It was as if a part of their bodies were missing and it hurt. Of course they didn't know what physical was pain any longer, this was a psychological pain, but pain never the less.
Just as they were about to cross the threshold of the castle, Alice called to them both. They were of course overjoyed to have her acknowledge them. She'd been so distant since her transformation.
"Bella, Rose!" Coming to a stop beside them, Alice smiled. "May I come with you?"
"Of course" they answered together. With that they sped away from the castle towards the surrounding thick forest.
Once they were deep into the forest Alice stopped. "I need to tell you both about something I've seen."
Bella and Rose came running back. "What's up? What have you seen?" Rosalie asked.
Bella was standing beside her, facing Alice. Automatically she extended her shield so they could talk without anyone else hearing.
"It's Aro. He's got some plan that concerns the three of us and a couple of others in The Group. He's going to take about twenty-five of us somewhere else and start another colony." Alice explained. "But, you should also know he's also not going to let your mates come with us."
Bella at once whipped out her cell phone to call Edward, as did Rosalie to call Emmett. They both just managed to speak a few words. "Edward? What's going on? Aro is..."
Suddenly Aro was there with a couple of the much larger of the body guards that traveled with him.
Both Bella and Rose had their cell phones ripped from their hands and crushed under the feet of the guards.
"I'm sorry, my dears, but I don't want you to have those any longer. They will just cause needless problems." Aro purred.

Flash Back:
"What I say is final Marcus!" Aro spit out to his brother. "I want to start a separate colony for just psychics. Incidents like what recently happened with Rose is a good example of why it's advisable. That was so disruptive to the smooth running operation here in Voltura." He finished calmly.
"But" Marcus countered, "what about their mates?"
"I don't care about their mates. The primary function of all gifted vampires is to support this castle and it's inmates. That function has been hampered. Therefore, I'm moving them to a safer place, removed from the rest. They don't need their mates around to distract them." Aro simply replied.
"You know they are not going to give in to this easily." Marcus replied.
"If they fight me about this, they'll die." Aro said.
"But their mates are talented also." Marcus pointed out.
"Not as much as the ones I'm taking with me. End of discussion Marcus. I've decided. If you don't like it..." Aro spat out.
Raising his hands in surrender, Marcus left the room.

Back to the Present:
Within minutes of receiving the phone calls from Bella and Rose, Edward, Eleazar, Emmett, Fred, and Jasper were surrounded by a vampire even bulkier than Emmett, all of them crouching into a battle stance.
Edward told his friends to standby. At that precise moment, Fred made them all invisible. As one, they all leaped over the encircling vampire, and ran back toward the castle and their mates.
They arrived back at the castle within the hour only to find Marcus waiting for them at the entrance. "They are gone already."
Edward paced back and forth, "How long ago, and do you know where they have been taken to?" Edward listened very carefully to see if Marcus would say one thing while thinking another.
"No, I don't. Aro wouldn't tell me. He knew you'd quiz me and that lying to you would be to no avail. Edward, I'm so sorry."
Emmett was bellowing, ready to knock down walls and tear people apart. "ROSALIE!"
Edward felt himself slipping into a form of shock. He was frozen where he stood. His mind was working in a continuous link. He was filled with the fear of never seeing Bella again. What was he going to do? How would he be able to find her? She could be anywhere on the planet! BELLA!
The small group of deserted mates were pining for their now captured mates.
They would search the world over until they discovered where Aro had taken them.
Nothing would stop Edward and Emmett from finding their mates, Bella and Rosalie. Mates who had been captured so cruelly in the beginning and brought to the castle for something so totally different than what had happened.
Edward, also knew he would never again participate in hunting humans for anything. His fate and that of his brothers as well as Bella's and her sister's had been exposed to something no human should ever have to endure.
But Edward knew he'd find his mate. Even if it took him a thousand years. He would comb every inch of this planet until Bella was once again in his arms. He also knew he'd destroy Aro and anyone that stood in his way of getting her back.
