Once again. Another chapter. I'm horrible at writing action stuff, that's why I've been avoiding it in the past. But I'm going to give it a little shot here. D
Enjoy!

"I want to leave."
--
"What do you mean?" Marcus stood there, face like a brick wall.
"Why do you need me? What use am I? All I do, all day here is sulk, and wander around. Sure I'm special, but I'm still useless. I just don't want to be here anymore. I don't even see the point. You have to agree with me. It's obvious I don't belong here."
"Belong here!? I made you what you are; I've made you into this great creature. I've taken you under my wings and gave you a home." He waved his arms, indicating where we were standing. "Of course you belong here. You have nowhere else to go. No one wants you except us."
"That's not true." I said in a deadly calm voice. "How can you say that when that coven in the other room wants me back. You can't say anything can you? I don't belong here. You know it. So... you know what? I might as well leave with them." I started pondering.
Marcus started laughing. I looked up at him. "You can't leave with them silly girl."
"And why not?"
"Because they won't be leaving. Do you honestly think after seeing you that we would let them go? No, we are already prepping the guards to take them out. I dare say, Isabella, are you sure you want to go?"
"You're going to kill them?!"
Marcus nodded his head with a wicked smile.
I contemplated this information for a minute.
"Look. They don't matter to me, but I want to leave. I don't care if they live or die, but I want to get out of here. So, the question is. Are you going to force my hand, or will you let me walk out of here, and nobody gets hurt."
Now it was Marcus's turn to contemplate.
"I'm afraid the latter isn't possible. No"
"That's all the information I needed."
I grabbed Marcus's old, hard arm. I pulled it behind his back while I caught the other one. But, by that time he let off the alarm. I looked up at the ceiling and starting thinking about destroying the alarm system. Three seconds later the siren cut off. It was broken. I focused on Marcus now.
I knew he could probably see this coming. He could feel my distance from everybody and my agitation with this place. But, he didn't act upon it. OH, that's right. I block vampire's powers. All of them. If I want to of course.
I punched him in the face and flung him across the room with my telekinesis..
I could feel the footsteps of the guard coming down the hall. I started walking towards them. If I was going to face them it might as well be now.
But, when I got there they just saluted me.
"There you are. Will you be joining us? We might need the help."
Ahhh, this was the lynch mob so to speak. I blended in with there forces. Hey, it's better to avoid a fight if you can.
They kept walking down the path towards the visitors at a human pace. It was unbearable. But, at least I had time to clear my head and focus on what I needed to do. Okay, after we finish off these guys, the rest of theguard will be too busy being stuck up to notice that I've left the house. No, I don't think that would work.. I'll need at least two other people to help me with the main gate. Hmm...
At this time we were right out side their room. Alec opened the door. Everyone of the visitor's were on their feet. Like they knew what we were about to do. It was then that I made my mind up about something.
EPOV
"They are coming." Alice said in a grave voice. "They aren't letting us go. They are sending most of theguards to get us." She sounded like she could cry.
I sat down on the couch just waiting for the impact. My life was practically over anyway. My dear sweet Bella didn't even remember me. I put my hand on my forehead and elbow on the armrest.
"We failed." I said monotone.
"Edward. Don't be like that." Jasper tried to lift me out of it but I was already in too deep.
Emmett got up. "Well, let's beat their brains out. We are not going down easy. Let's show 'em how much they hurt us."
Revenge. I love the sound of that. I stood up and walked over by Emmett. Both of us had on goofy faces like little boys killing ants with a magnifying glass. The rest of my dear family joined us.
They were right outside our door now. It opened showing about a dozen members of the guard out side. And we were going to take down as many as possible.
Alec opened his mouth to say something but he didn't. His mouth just stayed in that open position. In fact, all of them were remarkably still. Even for a vampire. But, one was moving.
Bella.
She jumped out of the mob looking at each and every one of us. She shook her head in frustration. I fantasized that she was trying to remember us.
She didn't talk as she turned her back to us. Bella was looking at the guards. I noticed that there eyes could still move. I saw the small frame of Jane and I realized that she could still work her power. And right now she was glaring at Bella.
"No!" I screamed and I ran to get in front of Bella but, an invisible force push me back.
I was knocked to the ground; I looked around seeing who did that.
Bella then proceeded to close the door and turn back to us. She took a deep breath and opened her mouth.
"We don't have much time. They'll only stay that way for another seven minutes or until I get out of range. They aren't exactly paralyzed. I just used my telekinesis to make them stay still." She stepped towards the back of the room. "Look, I don't know who you are, but I need to get out of here, and so do you. So if I say something, do it." Bella turned back to the wall she was facing. "We can't take the hallways. Too many people. But luckily I know a back route." An achieved grin splashed her face.
She looked at the wall and all of a sudden the bricks began to move out of her way. Like they did in the first movie of Harry Potter. There was such a large gap now that Emmett could fit perfectly through there.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go!"
Bella was amazing. She tore a wall down and then once we got through it built it back up again, covering our tracks. She did that about five times before she stopped.
She beckoned us with her finger to follow her down one corridor.
She whispered so low and so quiet that even we had trouble hearing her.
"If we go out this way we are automatically outside of the city. Once we are outside of the city they will stop chasing us. But, it's more dangerous. Aro, and Caius' rooms are down there. But, we can be silent. Also, there is this huge gate that we will probably need all of you to help open it, while I keep back theVolturi. How about it?"
We all nodded our heads.
"Good. Because if you said no I would have had made you do it anyway." She smiled and then proceeded to run down the hallways.
We heard footsteps coming up, just around the corner.
We were all ready to run for it but Bella walked up and said her hellos.
"Hello Isabella. Have you already finished the Cullen's off?"
"Easy peasy nice and cheesy." Was her reply. They laughed and walked back.
She came back to us. "This way." She led us off in the other direction of the others.
But, there were already some people in the way. About four.
Their heads popped up at the sound of all our footsteps.
"Isabella! What are you doing? What? I thought you were supposed to kill them off."
She whispered only loud enough for us to hear, "Attack them."
Emmett, Jasper, and Carlisle all lunged forward. I stayed behind with Bella. I wasn't going to force myself to be even five feet from her.
Their wives helped them destroy their targets.
"Don't kill them!" Bella pleaded. "Knock 'em out. If you kill them the Volturi will never stop hunting you down." I didn't even notice but, Bella was fighting her own battle. Her guy was already on the floorimmobilized.
I felt awful that I didn't help her. I felt almost useless around her now. This was a change.
Emmett slammed the guys head in the wall and then repeatedly banged it on his knee. Emmett watches toomuch Pro Wrestling.
Jasper and Alice were playing tag team. It was almost like they were playing tether ball. Jasper hit her, then she went flying to Alice, then Alice hit her, sending her flying back to Jasper. After awhile she stopped flying and just sank to the ground.
Carlisle and Esme were doing it old school. Bite his neck and don't get hit.
All in all, very successful.
Bella started speeding away again.
"They'll be aware in about thirty minutes."
She stopped. I looked to see why.
"Oh." Was all I said, as I stared at the huge vault shaped gate/door.
"I could open it by myself in about two minutes. But, once the door moves so much as a centimeter and alarm goes off if it isn't authorized to open. So that's why you guys open it while I handle the guards." She looked around at us. I detected a little recognition in her face. But, she turned back and said, "Go."
Emmett was the first to start opening it, but even he, with all his might, couldn't get it to budge. But,once Rosalie and I joined it we started making progress. The alarm already started sounding. But, I wasn't going to focus on that. I had to focus on getting us out of here. Then everyone else started pulling and tugging on the edge of the door. Once we were able to get it out of the indent we made more progress.
The guards started showing up. I could hear their footfalls but they would stop and then there would be a thud as they hit the wall.
I looked back to Bella lifting her hand side to side like she was directing a chorus. But, in reality she was knocking guys out of the way.
"Amazing." I let slip. Bella looked at me and smiled a sheepish smile. She nodded her head indicating for me to get back to the door.

One and a half minutes later we were outside surrounded by the fresh clean air of Italy. The smells of the city still lingered out here in the country.
"The airport." Alice jumped up and down. "We made it. Now for the airport!"
We started running but realized that Bella wasn't with us. I looked back to see that she was still standing there. She looked so insecure, completely different from how she was inside the city.
"What's wrong?" Esme asked.
"I... It's just. I mean. Well. I was wondering if I could go with you because I don't really have another place to go."
"Of course sweetie. We already have your ticket." Esme smiled warmly.
She looked at all of us slowly. "So I really do know you guys?"
We nodded.
Bella smiled. But, it wasn't just a smile. It was my smile.
I couldn't help it. Even though she doesn't know who I was I grabbed her hand and kissed it.
"Come on. We'll take you home."
