Chapter Thirty four

The words of all

[(DPOV) Damien point of view]

I looked at the slit in the walk that showed me a look at the outside world however small it was. I take a deep breath of the cool air cringing when it touched the open wounds Caius had inflicted earlier with that werewolf tooth his brother Marcus had collected for him. That tooth cut deep taking days for my skin to heal back.

Caius came down to the dungeon about two times a week to torture me trying to get information out of me about Bella. After the Volturi took me Aro scanned through my memories seeing Bella and are relationship. He saw her heavily pregnant and are little daughter Mia in my arms. He wanted her as a piece of his personal collection of special vampires.

Her being half human half vampire meant she possessed special qualities of each making her a valuable asset. Caius tried cutting the location out of me of my family but the joke was on them because I honestly have no idea where Emmett took Bella after I was abducted.

I've had visions of my family what it would be like to hold my Bella in my arms again or to play with my daughter once more. I sat in the corner of my cell thinking to myself surprised when Felix came down standing in front of my door with a smug smile on his face. He looked at me with disgust and amusement saying "Get up worm and follow me Aro has a surprise for you. Don't try anything funny either because Aro has given me the right to break off as many limbs as necessary to get you to cooperate."

I slowly got up on shaky limbs because I refused to feed on the humans they brought down here. I resisted the temptation until finally Aro saw the futility of it sending down bear caresses to keep me alive. Aro didn't want to kill me far from it he wanted to recruit my family as members of his precious guard.

I followed Felix up the stairs my eyes trying to adjust to the bright light of the hall compared to the dungeon as we walked to the throne room. As Felix opened the door I looked upon the brothers with disgust as Felix grabbed my wrist dragging me to a large chair. Felix sits me in the in the chair hard as Alex covers me in the mist only allowing me my sight, movement of my head and my hearing. Aro smiles over at me cheekily as he says "Hello Damien nice to have you join us. I brought you here to show you I don't need you to figure out the information I seek observe."

I turn my head at the sound of the giant throne room doors opening seeing a woman in her thirties being escorted in by guard members until she is right in front of Aro. She bows in front of him as he smiles happily at her saying "Esme! What a joy to see you again it has been to long my dear is Carlisle with you?" She shakes her head no shyly at Aro's question saying "It has been too long, no Carlisle and I are no longer together."

"Oh that is a shame my dear girl! You have my condolences what is it you need of me?" My head had jerked up at the name Carlisle which had been mentioned multiple times by both Emmett and Stacie not so long ago. Esme looked up at Aro hatred lighting up her eyes as she says "I have information that you would be most happy to see Aro but I want reassurance first that I will get a just payment for such information."

Aro looks at her suspiciously saying "What kind of payment do you want from me Esme?" She looks up at him saying "A place in your guard that will keep me protected for any of my adversaries and a enemies head for me to personally burn." Aro's brows rise as he says "Esme you put such high stock in your information that I would give you these things? I also have never seen you this thirsty for blood before so please my dear show me this information you speak of."

She stepped away from him saying "Not until I have your word in front of witnesses that my request will be honored." Aro smiles at Esme giving her his word as she takes small cautious steps closer to him putting her hands out to him as he takes them firmly in his own. He must be looking through her memories by the composed look on his face. After a few minutes of this he lets out a loud laugh and a huge smile fills his face. He turns to Esme saying "My dear girl I am more than happy to give you ever wish you desire after the information you just gave me."

He turned to me his smile only brightening as he says "We will be paying Bella and her children a visit sooner than we expected from the information you so sweetly gave us my dear and of course you can have this Stacie woman's head on a silver platter."

My whole body stiffens at this information this woman just gave Aro the information to get my Bella and my daughter...wait he said children. What does he mean by that? Aro comes over to me a look of triumph in his eyes as he says "Soon enough Damien you won't be alone here after all. We will hunt the rest of the week but come Monday at dawn we will head out to retrieve Bella and all who protect her."

I shoot hatred at him with my eyes as Aro gives a nod to Alec having him release my voice as I yell "You so much as touch Bella I will personally tear you limb from cursed limb burning each piece slowly leaving your head and torso for last letting you slowly burn before my very eyes."

Aro gives me a smile saying "I hope you try dear boy because it would be a great sport to watch." Before he walked away from me shooing me away with his hand as Felix and Alec take me back to the dungeon and my cell.

(APOV)

I jumped at the vision of my once seen as mother doing the worst deceit I could ever imagine I ran to Carlisle's office. He was sitting in his office chair looking up at me confused by my sudden entrance. I look at my father blurting out my horrible news "Esme went to the Volturi and they'll be here on Monday to try and abduct Bella and the kids. If we get in the way he'll take some of us and kill the rest."

Carlisle looked at me shocked by what I said before his eyes focused almost immediately saying "I'll contact everyone I know and try to get some family members here to help us." I nod my head and I walked out of the room as Jasper looked at me concerned and I quickly told him everything. He looked at me telling me he would contact Charlotte and Peter and have them come down to help.

I never thought that Esme could stoop to such a level as trying to destroy her own family or what used to be. I walk towards the stairs as Jasper goes to our room to call them, I walk down the stairs seeing Bella holding little Anthony. The sight of Bella is still startling with her dark brown hair a thicker curl, her face even more feminine than before, and those sky blue eyes.

Her whole body eludes power from the change Anthony caused her to take. So many things about Bella are different now if you hadn't known her before you wouldn't know her now. Little Anthony is a exact copy of Bella in almost every way. The only thing that gives away that he is Edward's son is his emerald eyes. Honestly thought that isn't entirely true because Bella discovered she has the power to possess elements and her eyes change color whatever element she takes. If Bella takes over the element of nature her eyes match baby Anthony's eyes perfectly and if you didn't know Edward had those eyes before his change you wouldn't know that he had a son.

Edward isn't a father to Anthony but Bella doesn't care she tells us "He might be his genetic father but Damien is his Real father." Edward stays to his room Mia goes up there to keep him company such a sweet girl. I walked in the room to see Emmett seating close by Bella watching baby Anthony sleep. Emmett is absolutely wrapped around baby Anthony's little finger he would give that baby the world we all would but it's different for Emmett.

Emmett has taken more of a fatherly approach with Anthony helping Bella whenever and however necessary with no hesitation. Emmett doesn't remember having a father he vaguely remembers bits and pieces of his mother. He never had a father until Carlisle but it's still different with baby Anthony and little Mia. He's been there for everything in their lives picked them up and dusted them off.

He feels like he's filling the role for Damien so his children don't miss out on the love he can't give them right now. Mia has grown a lot since Emmett brought them here she looks like a small ten year old already with her dark wavy hair and sky blue eyes just like her mother's eyes now. Her long limbs and no longer child-like face breaking poor Bella's heart.

It scares all of us how fast she has grown in the last couple of months while baby Anthony has changed so little compared to Mia. Emmett remembered how quickly Mia had grown after birth but baby Anthony had hardly changed a bit.

I hugged Bella quickly before running out the door for a desperately needed hunt. While Carlisle notified members of the family to come help us just like Jasper was doing this very second in our room.

(Mia POV)

I watch mom holding my brother securely in her arms as Uncle Emmy sat close by. I can't believe my baby brother finally got here even though it was a stressful birth for everyone involved I heard Aunty Rose say later. I walked by papa Carlisle's office to hear "We need you to come Eleazar are family is in grave danger the Volturi are coming to try and forcibly take some of my family. We need reinforcements before they arrive on Monday or they will have us and I don't know what that entitles." I quickly ran away from his door my eyes going wide.

Mom said the Volturi are the ones who took daddy do they want us now? I couldn't think it was scaring me to badly so I ran as fast as I could without thinking being in Edward's room. I walked in slowly sitting on the floor my head against his leather couch trying to regain my breathing. I close my eyes counting backwards slowly until my breathing is somewhat under control.

I open my eyes to see Edward sitting on the couch looking down at me curiously. We had become close since mom and I moved here even though he hurt my mother not once but twice. I shook that from my mind I knew the second hurt and I knew how horrible it hurt him that he was that horrible.

He wasn't evil like I thought he had once been it was that woman I had once called my grandmother's influence. I looked up at him as he said "what's wrong M I have never seen you this freaked out?" I look at him and say "someone went to the Volturi and now on Monday they are coming here to try and take us. Eddie I'm scared they're the same people who took my father and I don't want them to hurt the rest of my family. What do they want with us Eddie? What have we done wrong to deserve this?"

He gets down in the floor beside me wiping a unknown tear from my face holding his arms out that I gladly fall into. He holds me tight rubbing my back saying "No one is going to hurt you M I won't let it happen you have my word on it." I just stayed in his arms until my tears had stopped slowly pulling away from him. I wiped my eyes giving him shaky smile saying "Thanks for making me feel better Eddie I better go before my mom worries about me."

He nodded at me as I slowly got up walking towards the door. As I walked out the door I didn't turn around to see the loving look in his eyes or the smile on his face. I walked down the stairs being picked up by Uncle Emmy causing me to squeal happily. He gives me a hug that would have killed a human but not me. I giggled as he let me down saying "Come on Mi lets go for a hunt and see if you can beat me in search for a brown bear."

Uncle Emmy knew exactly how to get me in a good mood by giving me a challenge me being the competitive type and to top it off bear is my favorite. I nod at him sprinting out of the house with Uncle Emmy on my heels laughing like crazy.

(Edward POV)

I watch M laughing as she sprinted away under my window causing a real smile to fill my face. I didn't know why that girl even when she was just a tiny little toddler could make me feel better from the slightest thing until recently.

(Memory)

She would come up to my room to see how I was doing keeping me for stewing in my self-loathing thoughts. She always had a way of getting a smile out of me when I didn't think it was humanly possible to do so. I remember the day she came in to see me playing my piano she walked up behind me grabbing my shoulders trying to scare me. I laughed at the attempt when I turn around and started playing again. She sat on the bench beside me watching me curiously as I played a old melody. She looks at me smiling saying "What melody is that Eddie?" I turned to her saying "It's a melody I made years ago in remembrance of my mother." She nodded smiling up at me when she randomly said "teach me how Eddie."

I looked at her surprised as I asked her what she meant. I laughed when she said she wanted me to teach her how to play. So every day she would come up and we would work. M is a quick learner getting piano in less than a week playing complicated pieces in two. The third week I walked in my room to M playing a beautiful melody I've never heard before. I walked in silently sitting on the bench next to her.

Watching her play her eyes closed in complete concentration made me smile and a feeling stir in my heart. I shook myself mentally listening to the music until she finished it clapping wholeheartedly. She smiled at me blushing slightly as I asked "What was the beautiful piece you just played?" I watched her put her head down then look up at me saying "It's a piece I wrote myself."

She pulled out the sheet music showing me some of it while she scribbled some more on the last page smiling when she finished. I looked over the notes on the page absolutely astounded at how she came up with them. I looked at her and said "What inspired you to write this piece which is exceptional." She smiled up at me embarrassed her cheeks tinged pink as she says "Well actually the inspiration was you."

(Memory End)

I looked up to a knock on my doorframe seeing Jasper standing there looking at me an unreadable expression on his face as he walks in. He walks in closing the door behind him walking in sitting on my couch just looking at me. I look up to him curiously as he looks down at me.

He just stares at me for a while before he says "Edward you can't have feelings of any kind shape or form for Mia. Do you hear me Edward you can't have her Bella would skin you alive if you even tried to be with her. Not to mention when her father finds out who you are it would never be allowed. He would probably rip your head right off and burn it."

I nod at him saying "I know all the wrongs I've done throughout my life but because of them M exists to this day. I truly care for her Jasper I know I've been like this before but...I think she is my mate. I've never felt the way I feel about M never in all the years before and after I became a vampire." Jasper looked at me and said "I can feel that you mean what you say I'd just be careful if I were you. Your head is the one at stake not mine."

I nod at him knowing the danger I'm putting myself in playing with fire as it's called. I was worried about what M said though someone went to the Volturi about are family. I had a good idea of who told them but I didn't think she had the gall to do so. I thought for a second before running to Carlisle's office.
