I did a long chapter for you guys. I am sorry i haven't written in a while. I have been really busy! But enjoy this chapter.

Bellas pov

I opened my eyes as I looked at the white ceiling. The bright morning light shun brightly in my bleak room. I groaned pulling the sheets over my head. When I heard the slight noise of paper sliding on the ground. I flipped the blankets off me and sat up, looking at the paper on the ground. It had elegant cursive writing on it.

I stood up bending down to retrieve the mysterious letter. The letter read...

Isabella, or as you prefer Bella.

I have noticed you haven't gone for a meal since you have arrived here in Volterra. I know Aro will only try to provide the choice of human blood but I also know of how much you distaste human blood, not to mention it makes you sick. So I have brought back three deer's for you to feed from. I also brought deers for your friend Alice, she already fed, so she is healthy and well.

Meet me in the feeding room when you wake.

Dear Marcus.

I smiled, Marcus was very kind and people never really saw the true Marcus. He was always looked upon as cruel and mean.

I went to my closet pulling out a light grey dress that was knee length with a long black cloak. I quickly slipped on my flats and ran out the room to meet Marcus in the feeding room.

I opened the doors to the feeding room and saw Marcus with three lifeless large deers.

I looked at him. "Thank you Marcus." I knew Aro would be outraged. To Aro and Cauis feeding from animal blood was a sign of weakness, and they would never want 'The Chosen One' to be weak.

He nodded. "Go ahead" He said gesturing to the dead deers. "I doubt they taste good cold." He grimaced, thinking about the taste of cold blood.

I sighed and walked over to the deer, kneeling on the ground and putting my mouth on its neck. "Sorry" I muttered and plunged my teeth into it's neck.

The memories of my hunt with Edward surfaced in my mind. A smile came to my face as I remembered us running freely towards the magical cave. A small sigh escaped me as I remembered the freedom I felt, the small bashful smile Edward would give me when I caught him gazing at me, the laughs we shared. Those thoughts were the only things keeping me sane, the memories of Edward.

I finished all three dears in about five minutes.

I felt Marcus's stare on my back. I turned. "What?" I casually wiped my mouth, not wanting to leave any trace of blood on my lips.

He had a perplexed look on his face. "Why do you say sorry? To the deers, you said sorry to them." he asked taken aback.

" Yes, I did...why not say sorry?" I stood up brushing the dirt off my dress.

"They are animals!" He said looking at the drained deers.

"Yes they are, do you not say sorry to the humans that you kill?" I raised my brow, challenging him.

"No I do not say sorry, but..." He trailed off.

"but you should. Your taking a life, the least you can do is say sorry."

He stood in silence.

,

I walked up to him. "Marcus can I ask you a question?"

He nodded. "Yes, go ahead." Sitting in on one of four chairs in the room.

"Well I've noticed that all the guard are here...well except for Tanya and Irina, they are in Alaska." I growled there names.

Those traitors.

"But I just realized something. If Tanya and Irina attack they will never win. The Cullens have Edward, Jasper, Rose, Emmett, Esme and Carlisle. So that makes....Nine against two. They stand no chance, but than why would Aro make it seem as if the Cullens wouldn't stand a chance."

He sighed. "You are a very perceptive lady Bella. I am afraid I cannot tell you everything because I know Aro will study my mind and if he realizes I told you of his plan, it wouldn't end so well for your mate and your family. What I will tell you is that there is more than one way to kill a vampire."

I gasped. "What? How is that possible! Is there a gift out there that can kill a vampire."

"No it is not a vampires gift I talk about Isabella...Do you remember that book that you saw on the library table?"

I nodded fast, wanting to get the answers out of him quickly. "Yes I do, why?"

"Get it, but do not let anyone see you take it, go invisible. Take the book and read it, it will give you the answer you need."

I smiled. "Thank you Master Marcus." I took a step back and bowed.

Now he deserved my respect.

I froze and looked at him. "But wait won't Aro know you told me about the book?"

"Yes he will, but I will keep my distance for as long as possible." He smiled at me and I smiled back.

I turned and walked towards the doors.

"Isabella." He called out uncertainly.

I whirled around. "Yes?"

"Be careful. Don't make the same mistake I made. Get out of Volturi, save yourselfs. Do not wait to get mated to an eternity with Felix, that will only cause problems in the coming future. Leave, or prey your mate Edward saves you before the wedding. Save yourself from the Volturi's hell, and run."

I swallowed. "I will try Marcus, I will." With that I ran out of the room.

I quickly put my hood on and put my invisible shield around me.

I jogged to the library; getting there within seconds.

I quietly opened the door, I walked in.

I heard a muffled cry. I snapped my head to the source.

To see that girl I saw before, the slave that I saw just before entering the library.

She was sobbing as she cleaned the windows. I heard her mummer to herself. "Why me! Why me! Oh Seth where are you?" She fell to her knees tipping the bucket of water all over the ground and she weeped in the small puddle. "WHY! WHY WHY!" She started to smash her fist in ground.

I gasped and ran to her dropping my invisible shield and stopped her from hurting her hands. Kneeling down on my knees I grabbed her hands. "Stop, its okay, shhh relax." I said. She looked up and gasped, quickly getting up to her feet. I followed, getting up to.

"I am sorry my loyal princess." She whispered looking to the ground and bowing to me.

My eyes widened. "You don't need to call me that, please don't. Call me Bella." I smiled sticking my hand out for her to shake. She looked up at me her grey eyes were crestfallen. "My name is Lucy." She said while she shook my hand.

"You were talking about someone named Seth, does that happen to be Seth Clearwater?"

Her eyes darted to mine and she put her hands on my shoulders and shook with happiness. "Seth! Seth Clearwater! You know him! Oh god! Is he okay? Is he hurt? Is he coming for me? He can't come here! It's to dangerous! Ohh but I want out of here so badly!"

I chuckled. "Yes I do know him. He is very sweet, though he did not tell me of you..."

She blushed. "I am his imprint." she said as she played with her stained dress.

I grinned. I decided to leave it at that, I didn't want to make her too uncomfortable.

She looked up at me confused. "Why don't you seem like the other Volturi leaders?"

"Because like you I hate it here, and I am also looking for a way out."

"oh." She nodded.

I cleared my throat. "I need to find a book, but I would like to have some privacy while I read it...if that's okay."

"Oh its okay with me, I was finishing up anyway."

"If you want you can meet my friend-"

A loud bang came from the entrance of the library. I stood in front of Lucy protectively and to my surprise it was...Alice.

"Alice is the building!" Alice stood as she laughed her perky laugh. She wrapped Lucy in a tight hug. "Wow I can't believe the youngest out of the pack of puppies found his imprint so quick. Lucky you. Now come on, Bella wants us out of this old, dusty, gross, geeky-"

"Okay Alice we get the point." I sighed. Sometimes this girl can be so...hyper.

"Anyways come on Lucy. We have alot of planning to do and we need to plan our escape out of Volturi! black high heels With that we of course we need camouflage outfits and not these huge capes and ballgowns. I was hopping for the look of those cool spy movies so full black body suit but with pretty cuts and designs on it, oh and also with a...." Alice's voice faded away as they left.

I sighed and laughed to myself. I swear she could have a whole conversation with herself, poor lucy was probably scared.

I slowly walked over to the table I sat at before. The large aged book stood intimidatingly in the middle of the glass table.

I swallowed and went to take a seat and pulled the book in front of me.

The title read. The Truth in Legends and Myths.

There was a white feather placed in between the book, I decided to start off there.

Life and death. Good or evil.

The chosen will choose. I groaned wanting to slam the book shut, but instead flipped to the next chapter not wanting to here of the 'chosen one' no more.

Death of a Vampire.

Rip the pieces apart and burn them in a flaming fire. Okay knew that...

I scanned the pages, looking for any clues of ways to kill a vampire. My eyes caught a word, sending chills down my spine I read it.

Sacrifice. Underneath the word it held a story. I wiped my sweaty hands on my dress and swallowed before reading the story.

In 1415 a Nomad named Theodore was killed. He was the fiercest vampire known challenging other nomads and always claiming victory. Until the nomads had enough. They attempted to hunt him down but he was faster than any other vampire. When finally they found his weakness, a human girl. This human was his lover, his mate although of a different race. They took his mate and lured him to the forest. Theodore raced to his death in order to save his love. The nomads danced around taunting the petrified human. Theodore bolted into the dark eerie meadow expecting the flames to have been started to prepare his death, but not a flame was sparked in the gloomy forest. Instead the leader stood with a wooden stake in hand. He stood there speaking. "Theodore Theodore Theodore." He shook his head in shame. "Don't you realize that love is a weakness." He raised the stake, and with his other hand pointed to the human. Theodore tried to lung to protect his human but six other vampires held him back. The leader was front of him now."Do you dare try to save your pitiful little human! But at last you have proven my point, love is weakness. With this stake I destroy you." The leader whispered. "If you never cared for this human, if you didn't hold love for anyone this stake will not kill you. This stake eliminates love. So I put this to the test. If you love this human than you die, if you don't you live because this stake will not destroy you...but either way we will kill this human." He chuckled. He knew if Theodore lived and his mate died than Theodore would find some way to kill himself. The leader placed the stake by his heart. "Ready?" The forest was quiet except for the loud sobs the human gave off. Theodore whispered. "Don't kill her, please..." The stake plunged through his heart cutting off his words and ending his life.

My eyes widen. A stake through the heart, kills a vampire if he or she feels true love for another.

I heard a door open and footsteps walk in the room. I quickly slammed the book shut and stood.

It was Felix. His enormous arms crossed as he looked at me with a suspicious glare. "What are you doing Isabella?"

I glared at him and tucked my seat in walking towards him. "I do not have to explain myself to you." I growled.

"I think you do!"

"Shut up Felix! And leave me alone!"

He took a step forward blocking my way from the exit, his glare turning into a smile. I took a step backward. He leaned down to whisper in my ear. "Isabella I like it when your bad."

I snarled and tried to push him out of my way. I felt his power of strength absorb into me when I pushed his shoulders back. Walking towards the exist."Hey hey now! Relax my love."

Memories flashed before my eyes of Edward calling me love.

I turned on my heals. Walking back to him I hissed in his face, jabbing my finger in his chest."Never ever call me love!"

He tried to put his hands around my waist.

This man just doesn't understand.

I spat in his face and kicked him wear it counts. "DON'T EVER TOUCH ME!" I started off to the exit when he grabbed my hair and pulled me towards him. I was now facing him, with his hands still pulling my hair.

A whimper escaped my mouth. He pulled harder. "You think you're smart Isabella don't you? Well you're not. I bet you didn't know this. I know how you became friends with those mutts in Forks. Well did you know half their pack are downstairs in the dungeon. Cauis is just itching for you to do one thing wrong so he can kill those fouls. So you hit me like that again or say anything I don't agree with, one of those dogs dies, got it."

I wanted so badly to rip his head off, but instead just nodded.

He kissed my forehead. Sorry Edward.

"Good girl. Now Aro sent me to tell you we need to go get your little friend. Demetri is probably gone to get her, but we need to go and train."

He grabbed me by the forearm leading me out of the library and back into hell.

We met Alice and Demetri at the training room. The room was huge with nothing in it, except for seats against on wall for people to observe.

Felix left and came back with Alice and Demetri. Alice came over to me, but said nothing.

Demetri turned to us. "Take this." He said throwing clothes at us. "Hurry up and change into them! We don't have all day!"

"There is no way I am changing here, in front of you!" Alice practically yelled.

He rolled his eyes. "We don't have time for this."

Felix just sighed. "Whatever just change in here we will leave but we are only giving you a minute."

They left slamming the door behind them.

Alice turned to me, smiling. "BELLA!"

She hugged me. "I hate it here so much! I just want to go home."

"Shh it's okay Alice, it's okay."

We quickly got changed. Black leggings, and a blue top for me and for Alice a purple top.

They walked in. "Okay lets get started." Feliex said.

We practised defence today. I was only allowed to use my speed and strength and none of my gifts. Felix and Demetri were strict and rude the whole time. We practised for hours until it was finally night. Aro came in saying he needed Demetri and Felix. They all left and me Alice were left cleaning up the mess that was made.

We had finally finished repairing the wholes in the walls and floors. It was around two in the morning when we left the training room.

Alice was coming to my room tonight. She hated her room and hated being alone.

Alice and I walked quietly down the dark halls, both of us tried. All that was heard in the halls were the clicking of Alice's heels, and the sliding sounds of me dragging my feat on the concrete floor.

We were still on the bottom floor of the Volturi castle and were almost to the elevators. When we heard a savage growl come from behind a door; we stopped frozen in fear as we heard the fearsome growl that was emitted from beneath the door.

"Should we open it?" Alice whispered.

"I don't know?" I whispered back.

A woman's voice came from behind the door. Her voice desperate as she shrieked. "Please spare my child! PLEASE SPARE MY FAMILY!" The sound of flesh being torn came from behind the door.

Me and Alice both darted for the door, opening it to see a horrific sight before us.

Newborns, about twenty more or less. They were all in one huge cage as humans were being fed one by one into the cage.

There were about thirty humans in a line awaiting their death. Some were crying, screaming, praying, and some just stood there not believing what was happening. They all wore rags and had shackles on their hands and legs.

"Oh my god!" Alice whispered. We quickly hid behind a pillar. I saw Jane using her power on some of the people that tried to escape.

"NEXT!" Aro yelled over the screams of the human hostages.

The newborns lashed and tried to break through the cage with no success. "How do the newborns not escape?" I muttered.

Alice muttered back, still staring at what was happening."I heard Aro talking about that the other day. The metal is made from vampires. They kill off weak vampires and use there bones to create weapons."

My eyes widened, not at what Alice told me but at what was happening before me.

I saw a little girl go into the cage after seeing her mother die. She was sobbing for her daddy, gripping onto her teddy bear. Her father was yelling and cursing at the guards. The guard members took the girl and shoved her quickly into the cage, she fell scraping her knee. Blood smudged on her knee. The newborns went crazy attacking one another to get to the frightened girl. She was screaming, limping back to the front of the cage and trying shake the cage doors, but it was locked."DADDY HELP ME PLEASE! I'M SCARD! HELP ME!" A newborn grabbed, her sinking his teeth into her skin. Light left her eyes. She turned to her dad whispering."I love you daddy." she whimpered and fell to the floor.

I gasped and turned around, covering my mouth with my hand. My eyes blinked rapidly trying to get rid of the image. I shook with fear.

I don't know how long we sat there for put the yelling and sobbing finally stopped and it was quiet in the dark room.

I turned to Alice to see her staring at the wall with a blank expression. If she could cry, tears would be falling uncontrollably down her face.

"Alice." I whispered nudging her, my voice dry from not talking for a long time. "We have to leave, before someone catches us."

She snapped out of her trance and looked at me lost. "Bella all those people..."

I hugged her."I know...I know."

We slowly made our way back to my room. I did everything in a trance.

I tucked myself into bed and Alice came in beside me closing her eyes too, although she couldn't sleep.

I never thought things could get worse. The wedding is tomorrow and we still don't know how to get out of this place, and those humans...

I shut my eyes. All I could see were the tearful eyes of the little girl, clutching onto her teddy bear as the vampire sunk his teeth into her skin.
