"Just remember, be smart about what you do in here. There is only going to be Alec, Felix, Aro, and Bella. But the other guards won't be far behind. Any shots fired will alert them. So, if you take a shot, make sure it counts." I say to my men. I turn and we make our way into the Volturi compound.
We make our way through the secret entrance and up the stairs to the main level. "According to the blue prints that were give to us, we need to take this hallway, make a left and that will lead us to the sitting room leading out to the backyard." I hear Jasper say in my ear piece.
One out of the tunnel we enter a hallway. We quietly make our way down the hallway flanked by Jasper and Peter, with Emmett coming up behind me. Dad, Eleazar, Sam and Jacob are also behind us. My heart stops when I hear her voice. My Bella. "Keep dreaming. I will never grow to like you because I will never be his sister and I certainly will never marry him!" Fucking right she won't marry him! I think to myself. My brave girl! I'm coming.
I round the corner and see that motherfucker Aro with his hands around Bella's neck. All I see is red. Blood red! Aro's fucking blood for laying a hand on my Bella. "Get your fucking hands off of my fiance!" I yell. I am met with the sounds of guns being drawn and cocked into place.
Aro turns to face me, and Bella's head whips around. Our eyes meet Her eyes tell me all I need to know. She never gave up. She knew I would be here.
"Ah, young Cullen! Welcome to my home! Your sad pathetic father couldn't join us?"
"You're the only sad pathetic person here Aro." Dad says, coming up from behind me with his gun drawn, pointing at Aro.
He lets go of Bella, pushing her off the side, where she lands on a couch. "Oh, this is going to be so much fun." That sick fuck laughs, clapping his hands. "I get to kill off the Cullenza family, but not before I let them watch as their little pet becomes my pet."
"How the fuck did you get in here?" Alec asks, as he makes his way over to Bella.
"You are all pretty dumb for running an organization! Did you really think that she wouldn't be chipped?" I tell him. "No wonder your organization is shit. That, and the fact that I have men working for me inside your so called 'solid' compound." I say as one of Aro's guards, Santino, comes in from the back doors with his gun drawn and pointing at Aro. "I would like you to meet Garret, but you know him as Santino." I can't help but hide the smile that is playing across my face. "Now, let her go, and I just may let you live." I tell Aro.
"But, see young Cullen, that isn't for you to decide. I already paid her father good money for this little bitch!"
"She isn't something that can be bought or sold. She is person you sick fuck!" I yell. "I said keep your hands off of her!" I yell to Felix, as I see him grab Bella from Alec.
"I don't take orders from you anymore Cullen. She is mine." I see him pull her face around to him. My stomach turns as he kisses her.
I feel my hand shaking as I hold my gun pointed at him. "Edward," I hear Peter say in my ear piece, "I have a clear shot if him, I won't hit Bella."
I look over to Garret, who nods his head. "Take it!" I softly say.
Just then Felix pushes Bella backwards and she goes flying into Alec's arms. "You fucking bitch!" He mumbles as blood pours from him mouth. "You fucking bit me!"
Without waiting another second, Peter fires the first shot, hitting Felix right in the chest. I see Alec take Bella as a shield, as he walks them backwards behind the couch. His gun is drawn and he begins shooting.
I drop back behind some huge chair while the rest of us fan out. You want a gun fight motherfuckers, you're gonna get a gun fight. I pop my head up and take a shot at Aro and miss. I see Alec make a move to get away with Bella and I stand up from my spot. He spots me and takes a shot. Before I know what is happening I get pushed out of the way and I see Peter fly in front of me. He lands on the ground in front of me. "NO! PETER!" I hear Bella scream.
"Fuck Peter!" I yell, as I scramble up to check him.
"I'm fine. Get Bella!" He tells me, holding on to his side where he was hit.
"Son-of-a-bitch! You rat bastard!" I hear Ciaus yell as he runs into the room, followed by two more guards, pointing his gun at Garret. He fires off a shot, missing him. I check out of the corner of my eye and see that Eleazar and Sam are flanking dad as he makes his way over to Aro. Jacob, Emmett, and Jasper are dealing with the other guards that have made their way into the room.
I turn my focus back to Bella and Alec. "Shit!" I hear Alec say, as he throws his gun on the floor. He is out of bullets, now's I my chance.
A gun shot rings out, and I see Garret stand up and wipe blood off of his face from where he shot Caius in the head. He runs over to help Jacob tie up the others while Jasper and Emmett hold them down.
"Tell your man to let my daughter go!" I hear dad growl out to Aro, as he stand behind him with his gun pressed into the back of his head
"Do you really think that I take orders from you?"
The sounds of two gun cocking ring throughout the room as Eleazar and Sam press their gun to both temples on Aro's head. "What about now?"
I can see Aro start to shake. "Figlio, lasciala andare. Non ne vale la pena!" [Son, let her go. She isn't worth it!]
"Forse non per te, ma è per me." [Maybe not to you, but she is to me.] Alec hisses at his father. "Lei è il mio sangue. La mia famiglia." [She is my blood. My family]
"Io sono tuo padre! Io sono il tuo sangue troppo! Ti ho cresciuto, ti ha nutrito, vestito voi. Amato ..." [I am your father! I am your blood too! I raised you, fed you, clothed you. Loved you...]
"Mi hai amato? Lei mi ha cresciuto? Penso che vuoi dire le tate mi hanno cresciuto e amato. Ero solo un promemoria per ricordare all'utente di qualcuno che non amava abbastanza per restare e affrontare con il vostro modo malato di vita." [You loved me? You raised me? I think you mean the nannies raised me and loved me. I was just a reminder to you of someone who didn't love you enough to stick around and deal with your sick way of life.]
What in the blue hell are they talking about. Did Aro just call Alec his son? How is Bella Alec's blood?
"Enough! Your time is up Aro! You can't seem to control your man, so we will control him for you. Say good-bye." Dad tells him.
"Non importa quello che pensi, ti ho sempre amato. Ho fatto tutto questo per voi. Ti amo mio figlio." [No matter what you think, I always loved you. I did all of this for you. I love you my son.]
With those final words a gun shot rings out as Dad shoots Aro in the back of his head. Eleazar and Sam let go of his body as he falls forward into a pool of his own blood. I snap back to reality when I hear Bella scream. "Let her go Alec. You are the only one left. You're out numbered." I say, slowly walking towards him
"Take one more step Cullen and I will kill this bastard that is growing inside of her."
"No! Please! Alec, mio fratello." [my brother.] Bella says, turning herself to face Alec. "Please. Let me get to know you, and you can get to know me. I promise you. I will keep you safe. They won't hurt you. If I ask them, they won't hurt you. But please, don't hurt me and don't hurt my baby. Let me go and I promise you, you will be in my life." Bella tells him.
I have a hundred things going through my mind as I hear the words come out of her mouth. Did she just call him her brother.
"You swear that we will be family, like I have dreamed about?" He asks her softly.
She nods her head and holds out her arms to him. What the fuck? He steps forward and she hugs him, holding him close. I see her rubbing his back as he tucks his head into her neck. Then, suddenly she pushes him away and has his gun pointed at him. "Bella?" He asks, looking stunned and saddened.
"You stay the fuck away from me!" She yells as him, slowly backing away from him.
I watch his face as sadness morphs into pain and anger. "You little bitch! You're just like her, a puttana [whore] who spreads her legs." He yells out to her. I see him reach down to his ankle and pull out a gun. "If I can't have you in my life, neither can he!" He yells, pointing his gun at me.
"NO!" She yells and then a gun rings out. I close my eyes and see Bella and I as ten year old children when I helped her up off of the playground and brought her home to my family. I see us running in mom's gardens. I see us laying together and talking in our meadow. I see her in her green prom dress the moment I realized I fell in love with my best friend. I replay our first kiss, our first date, the first time we made love. I see her tell me she will marry me. I see the picture of our little Cullen, and I send up a prayer to God to watch over them when I am gone.
But, I don't feel any pain, and I am still standing up. I open my eyes to find Bella standing with the gun pointed at Alec who is laying on the floor with a gun shot to his chest. Holy shit! Bella shot Alec and saved my life. I tuck my gun into the back of my pants and run to her, catching her just as she is about to fall down. I pull her into my arms, pulling her to my chest. "La mia Bella. Shh, il mio amore, ti ho preso. Ti ho preso." [My Bella. Shh, my love, I got you. I got you.]
"I...I...I..." She stammers, looking at me. "Oh God! What did I do?"
"You save me. You saved our baby." I say, laying my hand over her stomach.
"Edward, Bella! We have to go now." Dad yells.
I nod to dad, standing up and pulling Bella up with me. I pick her up bridal style and begin to follow everyone out.
"I will have the cleaners come in and take care of all of this." Garret tells dad.
"As soon as it is done, you come back to the house." Dad tells him. He just nods, as he takes out his cell phone.
Jasper and Emmett are carrying Peter out. "Oh God! Peter!" Bella cries when she sees him.
"It is an in and out wound Bella. We just need to get him to the Doc to check him out and get him patched up." Jasper tells her. Bella just nods her head.
"I'm taking you back to the hospital to get you and the baby checked out again." I tell Bella.
"No, it's too risky. Eleazar, call Dr. De Rosa and Angela and see if they can meet us at the house. I am sure she can figure something out. Tell her she will be compensated." Dad tells him.
We make out way down the way that we came in, through the tunnels to the secret entrance so that no one sees us leave.
As we get into the car and as we are driving away Bella, who is still sitting in my lap, cuddles up into my chest says, "I knew you would come for me."
"I will always come for you my love. You are safe now. Sleep my love." I say, holding her close.
She reaches out her hand to dad who is sitting next to us. He just takes it, brings it to his lips and kisses it, and keeps holding on to it. "I am so proud of you Bella. You were so brave." He tells her. She just nods to him and closes her eyes. The three of us sit in silence as we drive home. Safe and content just to be going home together.
I hope you all loved it. This was a hard chapter to write. Both physically and mentally. My siatic pain made it hard to sit, and Bella and Edward just sort of took over everything. Let me know what you think. See you on Friday.
