Summary: Against all odds, Bella Swan killed Victoria and survived. But the victory did not bring Bella inner peace, just relief that she saved herself and others from Victoria. Her journey of self-discovery is far from over. The Order of V.H. is unlike anything Bella could have imagined. She is amongst humans like her who are training to kill vampires. Her comrades aren't limited to humans though that oppose vampires. As Bella increases her skills, a startling revelation brings her to the center of attention at the Order and inspires a revolt against the Volturi. She will need her friends, old and new, to have courage to figure out how her story ends.

Preface
Prophecy. The Volturi. Right. Wrong. Balance. Order. Love. Life. Death. Grief. They were meaningless words at the end when a choice had to be made. The weight of my decision played into destiny's hands or defied its will. Having to make a choice between two evils was something I was not equipped to do. If I learned anything from Geralt of Rivera's sage advice in The Witcher book series, "If I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all," it didn't make a damn difference. I would be forced to choose.
I was embarking down a dangerous path either way. If I was going to hell, I was going to plunge down into the depths in a blazing glory. I tightened my grip around the fang in my hand and strode down the path in front of me towards a fate of my own choosing.
Author's Note: Welcome to Part II which I was sure I wasn't going to do. I have no idea of an update schedule, Part II of this story will take more time/research and hopefully I will get my Beta again. For now, I am committing to once a month updates but hopefully will do better than that. If you're along for the ride, awesome! – Lalaland972
