Chapter 25

Fight

Bella's Point of View

Not only did glass shards fall from above, but also pieces of clothing. Felix's head had snapped up to see what had interrupted him. All I saw was a blob of russet fur. A large thud was heard from behind me and suddenly, a large russet paw flung Felix across the room, followed by a low roar.

Lifting myself off the ground slowly, I saw who it really was who took Felix off of me. "Jake!" What was he doing here?! He would get killed. Looking over to my Volturi comrades, Jane, Alec and Demetri all had the same look of fear. Jacob snarled at the trio, who now prepared themselves to attack. "No! Don't hurt him! If you do nothing, then he won't attack." And that was probably a big fat lie.

"I'm afraid he contradicts your opinion Bella." Edward translated for Jacob, who was now shooting daggers at me. My angel had probably translated it nicely for me. Jacob would have probably cussed at me. But what was he mad at me for?

Suddenly, more wolves descended from the rooftop. In total, I counted five. Wait, five werewolves?! And they were all risking their lives…

"My, my Carlisle. It seems you have come here prepared for the worst to come. Quite frankly, I am shocked to see that you have little faith in me." Aro acknowledged calmly, his fingers intertwining into each other as his smile grew wider. "To bring the werewolves here to their deaths is quite undignified, especially coming from you." The werewolves growled at the head of the Volturi but Aro did not flinch.

"We took it into consideration that you would not hand Bella willingly. Some of the wolves care about her deeply. They came out of their own free will." Carlisle explained as Felix straightened himself and looked at me frightened. Giving him a confused look, I just looked back at the Cullens and the wolves. What was going to happen now? No one could predict the outcome. Only probably Alice.

"Well, we will decide their faith once Isabella's faith is decided." Aro declared as he gazed at Felix and snapped his pale and deadly fingers. I turned my head back quickly and saw Felix nodded once before giving me an apologetic look and walked slowly towards me. The wolves snarled loudly behind me and Felix stopped immediately.

"Jacob, we can't intervene. It will only kill us all." Edward calmly intervened as the growling slowly diminished. Looking back at them, I saw that the russet wolf was now glaring at Edward and a black furred wolf glanced at Jacob. Jake looked at the black wolf and sat down angrily. The other wolves sat down also and were prepared to watch the match.

My head turned back and Felix was in front of me, ready and crouched. Crouching myself, we began to attack each other. We clawed, punched and kicked at one another but none of us got any real damage. "I'm sorry Bella." Felix said.

"You know you don't have to do this." I reassured as we circled each other. He stopped once and looked at me, as if the words that came out of my mouth were unrealistic. "You can just leave, leave with us. He can't threaten you if you're far away." I mentioned warmly and he smiled, thinking over my offer.

He circled me once more and leaped, trying to pin my arms but I was faster. Felix flew past me and once he was at a safe distance from me, I firmly grasped his arm and yanked him to the ground. In a matter of a second, his arm was in a lock behind his back and my hand was now resting under his chin, lifting it up and his neck cracked under the pressure. Sitting on top of him only made it harder for him to get out.

He struggled with all his might but nothing worked. I smiled at that thought. Felix, the toughest vampire that ever roamed this Earth, was now cowering under my grasp. "Jane." Aro's voice pulled me from my train of thought. Looking over at the man in the suit, he was now looking at Jane. She looked back in horror and looked at me. Looking back at Aro, he looked dumbfounded. Jane was trying to refuse his order. "Jane." His voice was more demanding now. He was getting angrier. Aro wanted Jane to try and hurt me by hurting Felix. All five of us—Alec, Jane, Demetri and Felix—had gotten quite fond of each other.

"Jane, you don't have to do it." Unfortunately, my grip on Felix's neck and arm had loosened, which gave him an opportunity to get around me and in a matter of seconds, he now had both hands on my neck and was about to snap it. Any sudden movement and he would rip my head off. Not such a good thing.

"Felix, please." I pleaded. Wow, was it really such a desperate moment right now that pleading was the best way around it?

"I'm sorry Bella." He simply said but luckily, as Felix heard my plea, his grip loosened only slightly and I was able to escape once more. Now, I ran behind him, grabbed both his hands and pushed him to the ground, my arm on his spine. Felix wasn't even trying his best now… He didn't want to do this anymore. Felix didn't want to punish people with his force.

"Please try. We have to at least show that we are doing this to win."

"I want you to win. You shouldn't stay here with him."

"And neither should you." We whispered to each other as low as we could so no one could eavesdrop on our conversation. "Come and be free with me. We'll get Alec, Jane and Demetri out as well."

"How can you do that?" Felix asked astonished at my confidence.

"Trust me, I'll find a way." I whispered reassuringly while sending him a trustworthy smile. He just looked at me dumbfounded once more. Was I really someone that shocking?

"Well, it seems that Bella has astound us all once more." Aro mentioned happily, clapping his hands in the process. "But—"

"NO!" A velvety voice screamed, which made me look up. Edward was now looking at Jane, a snarl escaping his voice. Jacob noticed that change and growled at my little friend. What had happened? But… something clicked in my mind. Aro was thinking of ways to hurt my family, using Jane as the punisher. He couldn't do that!

Suddenly, something shocked everyone in the room. The russet wolf launched himself at Jane and in one leap, he could sink his fangs into Jane's small form and probably rip her to shreds. I can't let that happen.

"Jake, don't!" I screamed, rushing over to Jane and Jacob. With my speed, I got there just in time to step in front of Jane and let my best friend sink his teeth into my shoulder. "Please Jake, don't hurt her." I whispered as he threw me across the room and into a wall, which crumbled under me. Wincing loudly, my injured body ran down the wall painfully as my vision blurred slightly. Slouching on the floor, the room started to blacken before my eyes. Was this normal?

Edward's Point of View

Oh no… No, no, no, NO! This could not happen. I just watched that mutt throw my angel across the room. She slouched once hitting the floor and tried to move with slight effort. "Bella!" I screamed and rushed to her side along with my father and favourite sister. My love raised her head slightly and tried to look at us but was having difficulty.

"I couldn't… let Jake hurt her." She whispered as Carlisle looked at her wound. The teeth marks were quite deep. There were many holes in her right shoulder, all the way from the side of her heart to her arm. That mutt had dared to hurt her! I would kill him…

Edward, she wouldn't want you to do that. Alice thought as she looked at me. Looking over to Jacob, my eyes could detect that he was feeling guilt.

Oh god… what did I just do? Jacob thought excruciatingly as he saw his best friend in such pain. Bella tried to straighten herself but was suffering. Carlisle helped her up and looked deeper into the wound again.

"Bella?" Jane's shrill but pained voice asked worriedly as it echoed in the room. She was looking at her friend worriedly. What has he done to her?! And she did that to save me… She thought sadly. So they had become close friends during her stay here. At least she had someone to help her. Felix had just stayed on the floor, completely shocked at the new turn of events.

"Are you alright?" Alice asked her sister as Bella looked at us, her pained expression still plain in her eyes and features.

"I've felt better…" My angel's musical voice answered with a small smile. Even now, she could find a reason to smile. Her black eyes darted to me. "Edward, can you help me stand please?" She asked as she extended a hand to me, which I took without hesitation. Helping her stand, she leaned on me—obviously, her strength had been extinguished in the fight, the pain she inflicted on me and the bite mark—and we walked to the middle of the room, standing in front of the Volturi leaders.

"I must say Isabella. You certainly don't give in easily." Caius spoke up for the first time in a while. I would have figured he'd have said something earlier. Caius was always one to object.

"Aro, as you have plainly see, Felix did not want to fight me, nor did I want to fight him. It seems as though some of your soldiers have now come to a decision that fighting and punishing others is not the best thing to do. Call me revolutionary if you want but I will not serve under you. And, now that I look at it, some of your 'followers' will not do as you say as well." Bella admitted confidently. This woman seemed to catch Aro's attention. "So, noticing this change, I suggest you give these people an option and let them follow that choice, seeing as you are such a diplomatic man. Unless you want this to turn into a fight, there's nothing much to say than to give your unwilling followers a sincere choice of living."

Oh my god… This woman would free us. Jane's thought were confounded. Bella was trying to make a difference at the moment and, judging by Aro's questioning look, he was going to give them this choice.

She's a genius! Felix thought honourably.

Wherever Jane goes, I go. Alec thought fiercely.

Quite the lovely woman there. Leadership. Demetri thought mesmerizingly.

My, my this woman will be the death of the Volturi one day… "You are quite right my dear, we do not want a fight to occur. Whoever does not wish to follow in the Volturi way may speak now, or forever stay a part of this family." Aro mentioned strongly. "Don't be shy everyone. You will all be able to leave in peace, if that is your wish." I can't deny people their freedom, even if it kills me to depart of them. He thought before Jane and Alec both stepped up to Bella in unison. Aro's face literally was a mask of horror. He was losing his best fighters with the best gifts. "Jane, Alec, it is a shame to lose you. But I see that it is your wish to follow in a different path?"

"Yes it is, Aro." Jane mentioned. She had not called him master. Things are obviously changing. "Thank you." She whispered to Bella, who just smiled and rubbed the tiny woman's back happily.

Felix approached us and was soon followed by Demetri. Afterwards, the room became quiet and no one else moved. "And so this is the end. You all wish to leave?" Aro asked sadly. He was now losing his most valiant member, all because of my Bella.

"Yes." The four of them mentioned at once, determined to follow in their different paths.

"Then… you may leave. We will not force you to stay here under force. If you desire to leave with the Cullens, we will not chase you. You may all leave freely." Aro confirmed sadly but reasonably as he gazed at everyone. "It was a pleasure to have you as part of the family Bella, even if it was only for a short time. Here, take this as a lovely gift from us." Aro said as he looked at one of his guards, who nodded and approached Bella with a necklace in hand. It was the Volturi crest.

"Thank you." Bella admitted as she placed it around her neck. She wasn't doing it for Aro, but for Jane and the three other members who were leaving freely with her.

"And I hope to see you again soon Carlisle. It was certainly a most decent visit." They can go freely. We won't follow them, my dear Edward. You are free to go unless the law is broken once more.

"Absolutely. But hopefully we will not see each other for another few decades." Carlisle said as we started to leave.

I can't believe it… We're free. Jane thought, astounded by the sudden liberty to leave. As we all left, Bella smiled at all of us. Because of her, everyone could leave without dying at the hands of the Volturi.

"You've done it Bella. You've made a change." Alec admitted happily.

"She truly is remarkable." Esme admitted as we left the castle and walked into the dark night. Who knew it was so late? "I'm so proud of you."

"Thank you Esme." Bella answered with a large smile. Oh, how I missed that smile of hers. She truly dazzled me constantly.

"Now, once we arrive, may you teach us your way of living?" Demetri asked out of the blue. Everyone turned around and looked at him dumbfounded. "Bella has been managing quite nicely with animal blood. We would like to try it as well." He admitted happily.

"Of course." Carlisle answered happily as he shook the man's hand. The wolves transformed back into humans and put their clothes back on, all for Jacob who had shredded his clothes while trying to save Bella.

"Jake, I think you need some pants." Bella admitted with a chuckle as she saw Jacob's embarrassed face as he was trying to cover his derriere and his middle section. Everyone laughed and we walked towards the private jet happily, as a family and well alive, all because of Bella.

"You're truly remarkable Bella. I will never leave your wonderful side." I admitted as we kissed into the night. This would be a wonderful life. Hopefully, we were going to be together forever. Things were looking quite nicely so far.

Ok, so I might have rushed it slightly but now everyone's alive and we now have four new vegetarians. Now, there's only an epilogue so you're going to have to read to see how this story finishes for good. REVIEW!!!

PS: There are more stories that I have written to read, if you'd like.
