Aro's POV

Isabella drifted in and out of consciousness for a week and a half straight. Her heart continued to beat even though the venom had spread throughout her body. I could not figure out what was wrong with her.

I paced within the confines of our room, waiting for her to awaken a changed being. However, that did not happen. Her body was becoming weak, but her human blood still remained. I decided that there was only one thing that I could do.

I gracefully descended the steps towards the basement. My only choice would be to get help from my former brother, Carlisle. As I rounded the corner, I found Alec where I had left him weeks ago. The fog surrounded the Cullens as they were down on their knees.

"Alec, you are free to go. Deliver Jane to me and then go feed."

Alec bowed his head slightly and left the room. It took a few moments for the fog to clear completely. The Cullens began stirring as their eyes came into focus. I lit the fire pit before any of them could fully recover from Alec's ability.

"Remain on your knees everyone. If you so much as blink the wrong way, I will burn your heads. Do I make myself clear?"

Everyone nodded as I began pacing the room.

"Your fates will not be decided today. I merely needed the assistance from a skilled doctor. Carlisle and Esme, you both may stand."

My mind flashed to Isabella in her weakened state. The two stood and Edward snarled. "What have you done to her?!"

Esme put her hand on Edward's shoulder. "Edward, stop. It would have happened eventually."

Carlisle clenched his fists and growled softly. "After what he has done to you, how can you speak to him so kindly? He could have killed you!"

Esme smiled softy at Carlisle. "He is still my son. I will always love him as deeply as I love you. You both mean the world to me."

I growled loudly. "Are you two quite done interrupting me?"

The two bowed their heads silently.

"Wonderful." I turned to face Edward. "Now mind your tongue, boy! I did as she asked of me. Let me show you."

I let my mind drift to all of the events from that night. I focused on every touch and kiss that we shared. I watched as the anger welled up within him. I focused on her smile and her laugh. I slowed down my memories as it came to her last few moments before I bit her neck. I remembered the sweetness of her blood and the heat from her body that was pressed against me.

Edward clenched his eyes shut and screamed in anger. I could not help but enjoy his pain. I chuckled softly and turned towards the door. I could not understand why Jane had not joined us yet.

I yelled her name and turned back to face them. I noticed a slight nod from Edward before Emmett leaned into Rosalie's ear. From that moment, everything seemed to happen in a flash, yet my mind processed everything slowly.

Emmett and Rosalie pinned me against the back wall. At the same time, Edward launched himself at the door. Before he could get far, Esme caught his shoulders.

The words "No Edward!" tumbled from her lips before he ripped off her head. Esme's head sailed through the air. In that same moment, Carlisle lunged forward reaching for her head. The two pinning me reached for my neck as Edward ran out the door.

I ducked below them, losing an arm in the process. Venom sprayed from my open wound as Esme's head landed in the flames. Alec darted in the door and tried to use his ability. Before the fog could began, Rosalie launched herself at him. Carlisle smashed his fist into the floor in anger. I bit into Emmett's neck as Rosalie ripped Alec's head off. As she threw his head towards the fire pit, I removed Emmett's head.

Rosalie's eyes immediately went to Emmett. Her scream was ear piercing as she launched herself at me. Carlisle raised his head and pounced on her before she could reach me.

I tossed the head towards the flames before kicking the body in the same direction. Carlisle began sobbing loudly and tearing Rosalie to pieces. Her screams could damage any normal ear drums. I snatched up my arm and began reattaching it with my venom. Before the venom could fully heal, one word came to my mind

"Isabella!" I screamed as I ran for the door.
