I DON'T OWN ANYTHING BUT THIS PLOT...

Aro's P.O.V

As my brothers and I walked to meet up with our old friend who turned out to be a big coward and a law breaker, thoughts of what they did to that poor girl kept running through my head, angering me more and more. I wondered if their insanity was due to their unnatural diet, their constant thirst driving them mad.

"We will get all the facts from these freaks, but leave their punishment up to Bella, her father and her mates. After we hear them out and if they deny the charges we will bring them in," I whisper almost silently before we entered the throne room and they nodded before they put on their usual faces.

As the doors to the throne room swung open before us, I called the guard and told them to stand by and not to act unless Bella or Charlie were threatened in any way. They nodded and bowed before they went to stand by the wall as we heard Alec leading the Cullen's to the throne room.

As they entered, I got up and greeted them like I always greet my long time" friends", "Greetings, my old friends. It's been far too long."

I walked up to Carlise to shake his hand in greeting, but also to see his life through his thoughts, but he stepped back saying, "I won't shake your hand until we know why we are here and why we are being treated like common criminals."

I smiled at him deviously before walking back to my throne and sitting down, saying, "Well my old friend, we have received an interesting report about how you and your family have committed a crime. Apparently you broke our number one rule and you are here for a trail."

They all stared at me with shock before they vehemently started to deny it. I stood up and they all kept quiet. I asked, "So you all didn't let a human in on our secret before abandoning her still alive and human?"

They stood there looking at me like I have grown a second head with a pair of horns, before Carlise answered, "No, Aro my old friend, we didn't! We know what would happen if we did."

I just nodded and sat back down, looking down at them thoughtfully and sighed, asking, "Can you please tell me the truth about this family." I pointed to the big guy, Emmett.

He nodded and walked up to us and started the story on how Bella met them and she got to know them and how he got to love her as a little sister. He also told us how Edward and Alice controlled her life and what happened on her birthday party and how Carlisle forced them all to leave when Edward demanded it. I could hear the love he had for Bella and I could see the pain in his eyes over leaving her.

I looked at the rest of them, disgusted and said, "Thank you Emmett. We have a witness to testify against you, so please wait a minute while someone goes to get them."

Emmett's P.O.V

As we were being led to the throne room by Alec, I got a really bad feeling about what is going on. Carilse acted like nothing was going to happen, hell even Rosalie is acting like noting was wrong. I'm beginning to wonder if she truly is my mate because since I told her how I miss my baby sister, my Belly bear, she has distanced herself from me.

As we approach the throne room, I get a strong wiff of Bella's scent. I was about to say something about it, but I noticed that the other's didn't catch it, so I didn't say anything.

Aro greeted us like we were long time friends before he went to shake Carlise's hand. I was shocked when he stepped back and said, "I won't shake your hand until we know why we are here and why we are being treated like common criminals."

I stood there knowing what was about to happen, knowing that they will deny it, but I was planning to come forth and tell them the truth.

Aro asked me to come forward and tell the truth and so I did, knowing that my family will shun me for it, but I didn't care. I told them about how we met Bella and how she found out about us. I told them how I felt about her being my little sister. I looked down, ashamed of myself and the family.

Aro stood up and said, "We have a witness so if you'll just give us a minute someone will go and get them."

I walked back to the family, but a slap from Rose made me step back. She was radiating fury and hatred when she said, "You just sent us all to our death just because you miss a human bitch."

I frowned, shaking my head, but I kept quiet, standing off to the side, waiting for the door to open to reveal the witness.

I heard people talking and I knew those voices. Looking up I saw her standing with Jane's help. She was all bruised and bandaged, which angered me immensely, but I pushed it down and I smiled at her nervously.

My heart soared when she smiled back, opening her arms for a hug. I ran to her and picked her up, sobbing, "I am so sorry, Bella."

I knew then that I would be ok...
