Chapter 29

"They're here" said Alice as she backed away toward Edward and the rest of the family.

The Romanian Coven walked toward the Volturi and the Cullens and and their eyes were huge as they saw both covens together outnumbered them.

"It seems we are outnumbered" said the leader of the Romanian Coven. "I am Ion. On my right is Petre, Roxana, Florin, Liviu, and Andra. On my left is my wife Elena, Eli, and Maria.

As soon as he said the name Maria Jaspers head snapped up. And so did hers.

"Maria" said Jasper

"Jasper" said Maria smiling "So we meet again."

"You joined the Romanian Coven? I thought you were your own leader." He said.

"Yes well I mated with Petre so I gave my coven up" she said smiling. "It is good to see you Jasper."

Bella was holding onto Jaspers arm and holding his hand.

"Who's the tramp holding your hand?" asked Maria.

"She's not a tramp" said Jasper, "This is my mate and her name is Isabella Marie Cullen."

"Soon to be Isabella Marie Whitlock" said Bella glaring at Maria.

"I give my congratulations to the future bride" said Maria. And Jasper felt that she actually meant it.

"Thank you Maria" said Jasper "That means a lot coming from you."

"I'm glad" said Maria smiling.

"So" said Aro "To what do we owe this visit?"

"Well" said Ion, "Some of us in Romania don't think you deserve to be in power." And he was about to attack.

Edward was reading Maria's mind and she was thinking to herself that she was scared and she didn't even want to fight. Neither did her mate. Everyone else in the Romanian coven did however want to fight.

"Wait" said Edward, "Maria, Petre would you like to join us?"

Being cautious Aro stepped forward and took Petre's hand. He then realized that they posed no threat to anyone. Aro nodded and went back to his coven.

Looking at each other, Petre said "Thanks, but I think my wife and I are going to take off and finally have a honeymoon if that's ok with you Aro."

"Of course" said Aro "And you two are welcome in Volterra anytime you please.

The two ran off and there was seven left. Jasper manipulated the other coven's emotions to where they were easy to attack. Bella stayed out of the fight because she knew something was wrong with her. Elena saw Bella sitting alone and decided to sneak up on her, sensing her Bella but a shield over her to where Elena bounced off and Jasper ripped Elena's head off. The Romanian Coven was finished off and dead. Everyone was happy and as Jasper turned around to look at Bella, he saw her unconscious on the ground. Everyone rushed to her side. Carlisle and Aro made their way to Bella. Aro touched Bella then looked at Carlisle. Only those two knew what was happening to her.
