Jasper's POV:
My throat was burning and aching, and I knew that I hadn't fed in what felt like weeks. They kept me here in this….prison, but I was used to that. The tortured screams and cries of other vampires, the darkness…. It was Maria's Army all over again, except this time… I didn't know if I was ever going to make it out of here. "As long as Renia's safe and away from here" something inside me whispered. I nodded in agreement, though shackled; I at least knew that my beloved was safe….
A bright light suddenly filtered into the room, as the giant brass and wood door was forced open, Jane standing there, an emotionless smirk on her face. "Aro wants you as company for some pathetic reason" she murmured, unshackling me from the wall. The two burly vampires from earlier hefted me easily, dragging me through the misty corridors and unto the upper level of the Volturi Headquarters. Aro was sitting as calmly as ever, as I was thrown to his feet, a defiant scowl crossing my face. "Now, now Major Whitlock" the sadistic bastard cooed from the comfort of his seat, "don't get hasty."
I pushed myself to a standing position in a split second, a low growl bubbling from my throat again. "Learn to control yourself Jasper" Aro snapped menacingly, "Or Jane might just have to teach you a lesson on self control…."he said, his red eyes glancing at the blonde guard. Her dark eyes glanced excitedly at me, and I stiffened, clenching my fist in anger. "What is it that you want Aro?" I calmly asked, trying to keep my emotions in check. "You know what it is that I want from you Jasper. Join the Volturi. You can have an excellent future with us! Think about the possibilities…?" His dark red eyes glared into mine, but I couldn't let my resolve weaken. I had a new life. I was back with my beloved…. She was at home….waiting for me.
"I'm sorry Aro, but I have to politely decline, yet again….I have a whole new life…. I can't just throw it all away." I shook my head, my blonde curls bouncing to and fro. Aro raised a perfectly arched eyebrow, his red eyes glinting, "Oh, is that so?" he miffed, interlocking his fingers together, "Well maybe Jane, could change your mind…" the petite blonde stepped forward, her eyes focusing on me. I could feel the first pangs of agony shoot through my system, my eyes clenching shut as I locked my lips together to keep from crying out.
"STOP!" the entrance doors suddenly burst open, Renia and Alice standing there, looks of worry on their faces. "Oh look" Jane murmured, snapping me out of her wicked trance, my shoulders slumping tiredly in defeat, "we have guest. I never thought I'd see that face again" she quipped, her eyes now glaring at Renia. I could feel the harshness, emanating from the thirteen year old, shooting straight towards Renia. The older girl squared her shoulders, a low, menacing growl bubbling from her throat. "Jane" she barked, her eyes darkening to a low, boiling black, "let Jasper go!"
"Well isn't this wonderful!" Aro shouted excitedly, "I didn't believe it could be done, but yet here you are! And with your memory!" Renia cut her eyes to Aro, the pupils dilating, as she narrowed them to almost slits.
"And you" she whispered, stepping forward, "We have business to finish from long ago you sick son of a bitch! Do you think I have forgotten! All that was done to me will befall upon your head, and more, mark my words! After this day, the Volturi will be re-created! No longer will it be ruled by wicked leaders with corrupt agendas! After this day, vengeance will be served in full to the sinful leaders of the Volturi! And you Aro….will rot for the rest of eternity in hell!" a dark aura surrounded the once, sweet, troubled girl, flames of white and black flashing and crackling, licking up the sides of her body. The whites of her eyes, began to take over the blackness of her pupils, her dark hair flying up around her in a wildly fashion.
Shaky hands reached for the necklace around her neck, the one she always seemed to wear, snatching it off with a ceremonious yank. The aura around her changed from a darkening gray, to an electric blue, white lightening flashes swimming through the aura. Her eyes transformed from a haunting white, to an icy blue, her pupils shot directly at the leader of the Volturi.
"The evil of the eye, will bring you sorrow, bring you grief
The witches and serpents crawl inside the evil eye, beckoning you hither
Come forth into the universe of the eye which is evil
Come forth and face your doom"
She chanted in a low, husky voice. Aro was shaking incredibly, a weak scream erupting from his throat, before he was silenced, his now standing form, rigid and unmoving…. The necklace dropped to the floor with a chilling 'ping' the blue pupil of the evil eye, glowing, the chant still echoing around the room….
Inside the world of the Evil Eye:
Aro grumbled tiredly, bringing a hand to his now pounding head. Eyes focusing, a single, dimly lit light hung over head, thousands upon thousands of mirrors surrounding him on every side. "W-Where, am I?" he questioned, brining his self unto his knees. A cold chill passed by, his eyes whipping to the mirror closet to him. Renia stood there, a sadistic smirk on her face. But was it Renia? This person…..this being, was black as the darkest of skies, scales covering the entirety of her body. Claws were protruding from her petite hands, dark purple poison leaking from the tips, sizzling as it hit the ground. Her eyes were an icy blue, starting at him with hatred, an evil eye tattoo imprinted on her forehead. It glowed with an eerie aura, the whisper of the chant still ringing about in his ears. Her hair was a silver color, a single streak of black, clashing with the vivid color. Silver covered the sacred parts of her, the metallic material glinting in the dim light, a dark dragon's tail covered in eyes, swishing rhythmically behind her. Horns were protruding from her head, curling madly this way and that, the tips also leaking dangerously with poison.
"Welcome to the world of the Evil Eye" she purred, a smirk crossing her face, "Now let's play a game" Her form was everywhere and nowhere at the same time. "Can you spot the real me?" the creature barked in a voice that was his. The being cocked its head to the side, the reflections copying the movements to a tee.
"Why are you doing this? Why do you sound like me!" he demanded desperately, his eyes glancing at the creatures in the mirrors. "From the time you were a little child" the being began, a dark cloud of smoke filling the room, "you were always put into the world with high expectations, isn't that right…?'
A little, younger version of him as a child was playing happily in the mirrors, skipping about the wicked creature. "Your mother died from complications at birth, after she had you and your sister and because your father did not want to deal with you, he sent you away, to an orphanage, in your home Greece. That was a bad place for you both wasn't it? It was cold, not enough food, not enough shelter. But what other life did you know?" She scooped up the younger version of his sister and himself, the children cuddling into her embrace, their blue eyes matching that of her own.
"Poor, Poor Aro" she sneered, in that same voice like his, "Never knew just now to escape. Until you met a girl one day, what was her name…? Oh right, Jezebel. You loved her didn't you? Until you were turned into the monster you were. You killed her. Drained her dry of that….delicious blood…." The two younger children poofed into a cloud of smoke, their laughter ringing in the air. A more mature him, was standing over the corpse of a young woman with curly red hair, and blue eyes beneath her closed lids. Blood was spewing from the wounds in her neck and stomach, Aro's hands covered with the sticky red substance. His dark red eyes gleamed with something close to remorse, and the dark being shook her head slowly. "Poor, Poor Jezebel" she murmured, the scene disappearing in another cloud of smoke, "Did she ever know…? That you….loved her?" the young woman, who was once a corpse, stood beside the being, her blue eyes glowing.
"Aro" Jezebel murmured, "why would you kill someone you loved…?" tears trekked down the woman's porcelain face, and Aro longed to reach out and touch her, but which one, was the real Jezebel? Renia brought the crying woman into an embrace, before the illusion disappeared just like that, her crying reaching his sensitive ears. "And then there was Didyme, your beloved little sister…. After a decade of being what you were, you changed her, hoping, praying, that she would possess an ability like yours. You were planning and scheming for greater things amongst the vampire population. But that plan backfired. Instead your sister possessed the power to make others happy. But that just wouldn't work right? And to top it all off, she fell in love with your colleague Marcus. They weren't content with staying with the great and powerful Aro anymore, so you had to stop it. So you killed her….your own little sister, for your own selfish reasons, which I'm sure you don't even understand… And then you ensured that Marcus would stay loyal to you…."
A vision of his younger sister appeared next to the creature, her once red eyes, now the haunting blue, he was used to seeing. "Some big brother" the creature scoffed, stroking Didyme's dark hair. The illusion of his sister disappeared under her touch, and Aro felt his heart clench.
"Why won't you just kill me?" Aro growled, his hands reaching for his dark hair, ready to pull it from its roots. His laughter rang from the creature's mouth, the sound dark and calculating. "Because that would be a reward for you. A haven…. And you off all people don't deserve Haven. No…I'm going to do this slowly. For all the people you have hurt. For your mother, Jezebel, Didyme, Marcus, Jasper, Alice, Edward, Bella, Reneesme ,Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Emmett, myself, and the unborn child you took from me." The creature disappeared in a cloud of purple smoke, the mirrors evaporating, leaving a single wooden door at the end of a long hallway.
Rising up on shaky legs, Aro rushed for the door, snatching it open. Renia stood there, a wicked smile painting her dark face. Others were circling around her, faces he recognized clearly. Carlisle, Esme, Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett, Edward, Bella, Reneesme, his mother, Jezebel, Didyme, Marcus, and the young child cradled in Renia's arms. "We've been waiting for you Aro" they all said simultaneously in his voice, their blue eyes glowering at him. His eyes widened, as they all smirked sadistically, Renia the ring-leader in this whole wicked side-show attraction. He was being thrown to the wolves… and he couldn't get out.
"Don't be afraid Aro" the ring-leader purred, brining the child closer, "It's just us….." A cloud of dark red smoke filled the air, an exact copy of himself standing in front of him. It's eyes were that icy blue, a smirk on its face. "Yes Aro" it quipped, "it's just me…." The Aro in front of him, suddenly split, into two more clones, flanking him on either side. The three Aro's stared at him and Aro for once was afraid.
"Face us Aro" they whispered, beginning to circle him, "Face yourself…." A loud scream shot out from the man, and he charged forward, his arms flailing, as he reached for the neck of one clone. It disappeared into thin air, reappearing behind him. The foot of the clone shot out, kicking Aro in the back of the knee, and the real Aro screamed in agony. The clones chuckled, one of them reaching forward to grip him by the air, wrenching until he was staring in the eyes of Jasper. His eyes were a piercing blue, one of Renia's arms wrapped around his waist, as she held their child. "You will kiss the feet of Jasper Whitlock for your sinful deeds and acts" Renia growled, her eyes locking with the clone that held him by the hair. Nodding, the clone forced Aro down, his face, touching the polished shoes of Jasper. Trembling Aro hesitantly kissed his feet, retracting back in pain, his lips bubbling and fizzing from the poison coating that covered his shoes. A whip was released across the back of his neck, the once mighty Volturi leader howling in pain, as warm blood trickled down both sides of his neck.
Renia coiled the dark purple whip back into the palm of her hand, its purple aura, going back into scaly skin. She kissed the illusion of Jasper lovingly, her petite foot connecting with Aro's ribcage. He screamed in agony, toppling over the floor, the dark creature smirking wickedly. "Oh how the mighty have fallen…" she growled, handing the little child to Jasper. She crouched beside Aro, her moves precise and cat-like, the dark tail swishing slowly behind her. "For thousands of years you have corrupted the law of the vampires. Your rule has been coldhearted and malicious. Ruling is to ensure the safety of those you rule over, about their opinions. You have created a dictatorship over all vampires, our own personal hell…. Which is where you will be banished….to hell. The only place you deserve to go to"
Standing up she retreated slowly back the comfort of those surrounding her, the room seeming to close in on every side.
"You have visited the world of the eye that is evil. Sorrow and grief compasses you on every side
Your life will become but that of ash
And your soul shall be banished to hell
Our debt is paid in full, and we shall now watch as you descend in the flames of hell
The game is over…..
Depart now from the universe of the evil eye…." She chanted, her eyes focusing on him again. Flames shot up from the ground, instantly covering his body. Screaming in agony, the illusions watched on in satisfaction, as the body of the once mighty Aro burned, the revolting smell drifting to their noses…..
Renia closed her eyes deeply, the wind rushing over her, the fire reaching over to all corners of the room, the silent screams of the rest of the Volturi penetrating her wicked world from the outside…..
Back to the Real World….:
Jasper's POV:
I watched in shock as the flames that devoured Aro's body reached spasmically the all corners of the room, licking up to the bodies of the other Volturi members. They all screamed in agony, the fire reaching to the long draperies that covered the room, burning the place to dust.
"Jas!" Alice called worriedly, snapping me out of my reverie. Renia was wobbling on her feet, her blue orbs closing again. She started to fall with a weak groan, and I reached out to catch her, cradling her in my arms. The last blue flames of her aura, simmered down, fizzling to nothing, and I sighed in relief.
"Come on Alice" I murmured quietly, beginning to walk out of the remaining exit of the room, "Let's go home…."
"By now you know that,
I'd come for you,
No one but you,
Yes I'd come for you,
But only if you told me to,
And I'd fight for you,
I'd lie its true,
Give my life for you,
You know I'd always come for you…"~ Nickelback: I'd Come For You Lyrics

Author's Note: Hey guys, I think this is one of my fav chapters, because it's so dark and demented and I hope you guys enjoy! My friend helped me in choosing Renia's powers which are: She can sense when someone is in danger and she possesses the 'Evil Eye' which is where she can transport her victims to a room usually full or mirrors unless she transports them elsewhere. It's her own personal illusion world, and she can cause harm to people inside and outside the body. She can also shape shift into the 'Dark Renia' the demon side of her, and can imitate the voices of her victims, and in the end she can set them on fire, killing them. Thanks to everyone who has been reviewing, putting me as their fav author, and under their fav stories list, it really means a lot to me! I hope that you all will continue in your reviews because I love hearing for you, and thanks so much for all the support, you guys rock! And on that note, please remember to REVIEW!
