A/n: Sorry it took so long! Here it is though.

This man will die a horrible death. I will…see…to…

May panted as she lay on the ground in a puddle of her own blood, struggling to keep a tiny grasp on life. Even with death so near, she mocked the man before her by smiling weakly, mocked him by the look of fire in her eyes.

"Where is she?"

Does he really expect me to answer him? I can barely breath, much less talk. And where else would she be but at Belliut? If only everyone knew what a moron he was.

"Answer me this instant wench!"

Oh, because insulting me will be the ticket.

May let her eyes shut which is what they had been wanting to do for quite a while, let her breathing slow dramatically because really, what was the point? At least she wasn't talking to him. That was a bonus to her, the last good deed before death.

"I swear to God little May, I will kill you very painfully if you do not answer me."

Seeing as I am already dying, that doesn't have quite the purchase you were looking for Prince Moron.

"You think this hurts? Look carefully. Open your eyes!"

May did so without thinking and she watch the sword plunge into her breast.

He has a lot to learn about pain, was May's last thought before she was killed. Jacob observed the dead May with a hideous smile on his face, then noticed a ring on her finger. Slowly he bent down to retrieve it, a curious glint to his otherwise malicious eyes. Looking at it closely, he noticed a crest on it.

The crest of the royal Belliut family.

…

When they arrived, Bella and Edward were assaulted by their family and friends. Neither was in the mood however, and retreated into their quarters with little Daniel in Edward's arms. They were both still thinking of what Jacob had done and how he would dearly pay.

"I must tell Carlisle about our…misadventure in Amapi. Will you be fine on your own?" Edward looked at Bella who sighed as she took Daniel in her arms. She nuzzled him then looked at her husband.

"I will be fine, go and tell Carlisle, and let us hope that the war that will ensue will not be too costly."

"I'll be back soon my love," Edward said as he departed, gently closing the door and walking to his father's rooms. With each step his features became sharper, crueler, and deadlier. There was hell to pay for what Jacob had done to him, and Edward meant to collect.

Arriving at the rooms, he knocked then opened the doors, seeing Carlisle look up in surprise, then alarm.

"Edward what—" Edward's eyes narrowed as he stared at his father.

"We go to war."

…

"Jacob you cannot go into Belliut unaccompanied, no matter how much you lust for their crowned prince's wife. I shall go with you," Sam said, looking at Jacob with unemotional black eyes. Jacob just grinned.

"But if you come I can't get into their stronghold. This ring is only good for one person after all."

William looked at his son and cringed. He had a crazed look in his eye as he unconsciously twiddled with the ring that would be his downfall. That he would risk everything for a rival country's future queen gave proof that the boy was a walking liability. As it was, William was sure that he was about to go into war with his two most powerful rivals.

All for the lust of his son.

"Let him go alone Samuel. He won't listen to reason, as he has proved over and over again. Let him go to his downfall alone."

"But—" Samuel began, eyebrows furrowed. William cut him off.

"Let him go alone. Perhaps he can finish off the royal family for us, though I highly doubt it. Either way, it is his decision to go, his decision to die. Let him go."

"And finally one of them sees reason," Jacob murmured, smiling at his father. He did indeed intend to finish off the royal family, all besides his lovely Bella. Of course he knew that she would be adamant against being left alone with him after everything was said and done, but she would warm up to him again. After she got over the fact that he killed her new family, especially that brat that she whelped.

She would come around.

…

Looking at Belliut's capital, Jacob felt that it would be easy to find Bella. Of course she would be situated in the biggest cabin of all with the rest of Belliut's royals. Where else would she be?

Jacob smiled and walked around, not knowing that a little blond followed him diligently, eyeing him with hopeful blue eyes.

…

Jessica of Banfea watched the obvious Amapian skulk around, looking about him as if expecting to come across his prey at any moment. Jessica came upon him and he whirled, a knife to her throat and a hand in her hair, pulling her head back.

"Do not fear Amapian, I wish to make an alliance with you. I figure you're after the royal family. I too, wish for their death. Perhaps we could help each other?"

And after taking him back to her cabin and discussing it with him they reached an agreement.

They would both get what they wished: Jacob would get Bella after killing the rest of her new family, and Jessica would get Bella's death after betraying Jacob.

Everyone won…besides the people who died.
