Here is the latest and greatest. It is alternating BPOV and EPOV so, I hope it isn't too choppy. But, I felt that for what is happening in this chapter, and in the next to come, it needed to be in both POV's.
Let me say, you all blow me away with your comments. I read them all and I love them all. Even the ones that have oreo's being chucked at my head! LOVE it! Please, keep them coming.
This is not beta'd, so all mistakes are mine.
Stephanie Meyers owns all that is Twilight.
BPOV
"I know you aren't sleeping ballerina." I here a cold voice say. "Open up your eyes bella ragazza! [pretty girl!]"
I feel my stomach muscles clench as I open my eyes. I focus on a medium size man standing at the foot of my bed. He is dressed in black. A long winter trench coat with black leather gloves covering his hands. Although I don't recognize him, I know in my gut that he must be Volturi.
"Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Alec, and I will be escorting you back to your rightful fiance and your rightful home this morning miss Swan."
I feel my breath hitch, knowing full well that I am trapped. If I push the nurses button Angela will come in, and I can't risk her getting hurt. I know that Edward won't be back for at least a hour, if not more. Fuck! Think Bella.
"Don't think about calling anyone in here, because I will just kill them, and I really want to start out our relationship on a nice note." He tells me, walking closer to the bed. "I have taken the liberty of bringing you a change of cloths, I am sure your fiance won't want you to be cold or uncomfortable." He says, pulling out some long yoga pants and a long sleeved shirt from inside his coat. "Now, lets get this IV out of your hand." He says, as he bends down to unplug it from the wall. He takes my arm into his hand and peels off the tape, pulling out the needle. I hiss at the pain and the pressure that his hand causes as he hold some gauze over top of the needle site to stop the bleeding.
"Now, keep quiet, I am going to turn around while you dress. Be quick about it." He says, turning his back to me. When he doesn't hear me moving, he turns back around. "Isabella. I am guessing that you have become close with that pretty dark haired nurse down the hall, am I right? It would be a shame if a bullet found it's way into that pretty little head of hers." He says, smirking at me as he turns his back to me once more.
I feel the tears coming down my cheeks as I push the covers back and slowly begin to pull on the yoga pants and shirt. He steps over to the closet and pulls out my shoes and hands them to me. I take them and begin to put them on.
"Please, don't do this." I quietly beg his as he tosses my coat to me.
"Oh, darling girl. I have to. You see, this was arrange quite some time ago. Money was exchanged, plans were put into place. Poor Prince Cullenza will just have to deal with loosing you. You were never his to lay claim to in the first place. And that fucking prick Carlisle and his bitch wife can pretend all they want, but you were never, and will never be a Cullenza!" He hisses out to me.
I just stand there frozen, fear playing across my face and rippling through my entire body. Fear of leaving, fear of what will happen if I don't leave, fear for my precious baby growing inside of me. He walks up to me and pulls me into a hug. "My dear sister, I searched for many years to try and find you. Then I had to wait another whole year to come and claim you. Please, don't be afraid of me. I would never hurt my blood."
"Sister?" I whisper.
"Yes, I will explain. I need to get you out of here now. Come, let get..."
"Get your hands off of her motherfucker!"
I look behind Alec and find Peter standing there, his gun drawn and pushed into the back of Alec's head.
"Let her go...NOW!" Peter yells.
"You are making the biggest mistake of your life, son!" Alec says, as he drops his hold of me.
Peter grabs me and pulls me behind him. He pushes Alec into the chair, never taking his gun off of him. "You OK Bells?" He asks me.
"Yes." I answer, as the door flies open and Felix walks in, his gun drawn.
"Fuck!" He yells.
"Make sure Bella is OK. I am going to tied this fucker up until Edward gets back."
I look over at Alec, who is just smirking at me, as Peter is shredding the blanket to tie him up with.
"You OK Bella?" Felix ask, while giving me a once over with his eyes.
"Yes, just...my stomach is feeling a little uneasy again."
"That's OK. As soon as we get you where you belong I will have this little mistake taken care of." He says as he covers my stomach with his hand.
I stare at Felix for a moment. "W...w...wh...what?" I ask him.
"Well my Bella. I have finally come for what is mine." He says to me.
"What the fuck?" Peter yells as Alec jumps up and hits him in the back of his head with the but of his gun.
"Sister dear, meet your fiance." Alec says, gesturing to Felix.
I feel my knees give out as blackness surrounds me.
EPOV
"Yes, I am just on my way back to the hospital right now. I went to get her some food." I say into the phone. "I will call you once she is discharged. You can meet us at the penthouse mom. OK, I love you too." I say, hanging up the phone.
I push the phone into my jean pocket, laying my head back taking a few moments of peace. It's been a long day and night. I had to stay late again at the club because another dip shit thinks that it is OK to short his tribute to dad and I. I was soft and let it slide the first time, but having it happen twice, I was livid. He betrayed my kindness, making me look weak.
Emmett and I roughed him up for a while before dropping his ass in the alley behind the club, telling him that he had better to get my my money and extra for my troubles. Then I get home to find Peter and Erik spooning on my couch while Bella is spooning the damn toilet. Who would have thought that tiny little Cullen could cause so much sickness to Bella. Hopefully the meds Bella now has will even things out for her. I know she has been miserable.
I have to say though that hearing the baby's heartbeat...that shit was life altering. There has never been a sweeter sound in my lifetime. To look down and see Bella equally as happy, it eased every ounce of fatigue and worry from my mind and body.
I am pulled out of my musings when I hear Stefan yelling. "FUCKING HELL ANGIE! Here, I am driving, tell Boss." He throws the phone back at me.
"Is Bella OK Angie?" I ask, my heart suddenly in my throat.
"Edward!" I hear her crying. "She is gone, they took her." Now my heart has stopped.
"Who took her? When?" I yell into the phone.
"Just now. I..."
"Angie, we just pulled up in front. I'll be right in." I say, as Stefan pulls up to the entrance of the hospital. I jump out of the car, hearing Stefan yelling at me to wait for him. Fuck that! My Bella and my baby are gone.
I storm into and round the corner to where Bella's room is. Angela is standing there with Peter sitting in a chair while Erik holds and ice pack to his head. "What the fuck happened?"
"I wasn't getting a reading on Bella's IV, which meant that it was unplugged, I got worried. So I went to check on her. When I got to her door and I hear a mans voice telling her to hurry up. So I ran and got Peter, he and Erik decided to stick around until you and Stefan got back." Angela explains.
"When I got to her room a man was holding her in a hug." Peter begins. "I told him to let her go and I put my gun in the back of his head. When he let Bella go I pulled her behind me. When the guy turned around I recognized him from the Volturi pictures you showed me. It was Alec. Then Felix came barging in, so I had him look over Bella while I went to tie up Alec. The next thing I hear is Felix telling Bella that as soon as he got her to where she belonged he would take care of the little mistake. I turned around and he had his hand on her stomach and then everything went black. I woke up with my head throbbing and Angela and Erik trying to wake me up."
Suddenly Charlie's words come back to me...'H...h...he's close...closer t...t..th...than you think' come back to me! Fuck me! It's Felix! "Son-of-a-bitch!" I yell out. "I called that mother-fucking-bitch this morning to come and guard her!"
"I was wondering why he showed up." Peter says.
"FUCK!" I yell again, punching the wall. "Stefan, call Jaz and Em, tell Jaz to start tracking her bracelet, and earrings. Peter, call Sam, Jacob and Seth. I'll call dad. We need to call our guy who is working with the Volturi." I order.
I don't know what makes me look down at the bed, but when I do,I catch a glimpse of something sparkly. It is her engagement ring. I snatch it up, running my fingers over the stone, and I feel tears on my face.
I quickly wipe them away. There is no time for pussy tears. Tears won't get Bella and my baby back. I have to stay in boss mode, I have to keep everything in check. I have to get them back.
BPOV
I feel a hand running up and down my side. It feels good, so I lean into it. "Non so per quanto tempo ho aspettato di averti nel mio letto, per avere le mani su ciò che è mio." [You don't know how long I have waited to have you in my bed, to have my hands on what is mine.]
My eyes pop open and I scramble to crawl away from that voice. That voice that over the past few years has ignited a sense of protection, and safety. But now, now it brings a sense of fear, and sickness.
"Don't be afraid of me baby. You know you are safe with me."
"No! No I don't Felix! What the hell?"
"It is really very simple. You. Are. Mine. You were bought and paid for a long time ago. But then that fuck up Charlie got sloppy and let you get taken by those fucking Cullens." He says, getting up off the bed. He begins pacing angrily. "Do you know how fucking hard it was to get into that organization. Or how fucking hard it was to earn enough trust to be put in charge of your care. I had to kiss that fucking limp dicks ass so fucking much just to be able to be close to you, to protect what has always been mine."
"Felix...I...I...I don't..." I begin.
"Look Bella. There is a lot that has to be explained. There are other people involved. Can I trust that if I take you out of this room, that you won't run."
I have to stay strong and be smart for my baby, so I square my shoulders and nod my head.
"Good girl. Come cara [dear], everything will be explained." He says, offering me his hand.
I let out a shaky sigh and take his hand. He leads me out the door and down a hallway, then down winding stairs. When we reach the bottom we walk into what looks like a sitting room. I notice Alec right away, and he jumps up and walks over to me. "Hai dormito bene sorella?" [Did you sleep well sister?] He asks me, pulling me into a hug.
"Why do you keep calling me sister?" I ask him, pushing him away from me.
"We have a lot to discuss. Come." He says, leading me into the sitting room. Felix is right next to me helping me sit onto a couch.
I look around and see a skinny, dark haired man sitting across from me.
"Hello my dear." He says to me. "Welcome home."
"Who are you?"
"I am so sorry. This must all be very confusing to you. My name is Aro Volturi. You have already met my son Alec, and you know Felix, my godson."
I know I have a look of utter confusion on my face, as I stare at him. Alec walks over and sits on the other side of me on the couch. "Bella, I am sorry. My father is making it seem like this should all make sense to you. I can understand that it doesn't. Your mother, Rene, is my mother as well. When father's wife failed to give him an heir, he sought the help of his goomah, Rene." Alec says.
"After my Alec was born Rene decided that she didn't want this life anymore. So, in the middle of the night, she snuck out. She left and never came back. I looked high and low for her. I loved her. How could I not, she gave me my son. The heir to my throne. I finally found her five years later, still living here in New York, only she had this adorable little girl with her. I couldn't bear the thought of her loving another man. She broke my heart, so I killed her."
My hand went to my mouth. "But, but...she said goodbye to me." My little girl eyes and ears remember her saying good bye to me.
"Yes she did. She begged me to be allowed to tell you goodbye. So, I let her. When Alec grew up he asked about his mother, so I told him. He begged me to find you. So, I had a man on my payroll who worked at the police department who knew Charlie. He knew that he was in a bad way. So, I had him offer Charlie money to hand you over me. The exchange was supposed to happen, but unfortunately Charlie was a sloppy drunk and got violent with you one night and those fucking Cullens swept in before I could get there."
As his words come out of his mouth I feel my breathing begin to speed up. Suddenly I can't seem to get enough air into my lungs. "Shit! What the fuck is wrong with her Felix?" I hear Alec ask.
"She is having a panic attack. She has them because of Charlie." I feel him take me and pull my back to his chest and begin coax me into breathing normally.
Once I feel myself breathing normal, I push myself away from Felix. "How does Felix come into play? Why does he think that I am marrying him?" I ask.
"Please understand, you mean nothing to me. You are just a whores daughter. But, to my son, you are link to something that he has always longed for, his mother. Since he has known about you, all he has wanted was his sister. I wasn't going to allow you to just live here and not get anything out. My godson would need a good Italian woman to give him good, full blooded Italian children. Since Alec will take over and be number one, Felix will be his number two. So, I bought you to marry my godson and appease my son."
"You're a sick fuck!" I tell him.
He simply throws his head back and lets out a sickening laugh. "In time, I suppose we will grow to like each other."
"Keep dreaming." I hiss out to him as I stand. "I will never grow to like you because I will never be his sister," I point to Alec, "and I certainly will never marry him!" I yell.
In a flash Aro is out of his seat with is hand around my neck. "Listen to me you little bitch!" He hisses.
But, before he can finish, I hear the one thing that makes everything better, "Get your fucking hands off of my fiance!" I turn my head and I see him. My protector, my best friend, my Edward.
Well...are you still with me? I hope it isn't too confusing. Please, I am can't wait to know what you all think. I will see you on Friday wit the next update.
