Hello everyone, I actually had to delete and rewrite, and then delete and rewrite before finally getting something I was happy with. So, I hope my hard work has paid off. Now as a disclaimer and warning, this chapter contains descriptions of rape. If said subject makes you uncomfortable, I advise you to read the first tid bit with the Cullens and then leave. Yet, you may not even want ro read that. Now, as always there will be questions at the end of the chapter.


"Oh that, sorry." Alice giggled, trying to make it seem like nothing was wrong on her end.

"What's going on? I can tell something is off, just don't know what it is."

Alice took a deep breath, and everyone nodded. "Bella found the diary."

Venus was quiet, way to quiet. Granted what was she going to say. 'Hey sis, I'm sorry I didn't tell you that dad has beaten the crap outta me for years, oh and he raped me.' She thought sarcastically to herself. However, the latter she hadn't told anyone; but no doubt the Cullens knew now.

"Ve?" Alice could be heard on the other line of the phone. "Why didn't you tell us everything?"

Venus could feel her brown eyes begin to burn, as more tears rose to the surface and fell off the cliff of her cheeks. "I didn't know how…." She sobbed on the phone, she never noting Felix walking into the room having heard her start crying.

"I understand." Alice whispered. "We will have to send the diary to Aro, he has a right to it."

The human began to tremble, jumping when cold arms wrapped around her small frame. Turning quickly, to see the man she labeled as a giant. "Felix?" She asked in surprise.

"Bella would like to speak with you." Alice whispered softly, before he could answer.

Briefly Venus could hear as the phone was passed over, with voices telling her older sister to be mindful of the situation. "Sis?" The clear indication of her sisters voice could be heard, and the younger sister was grateful that Felix was there.

"Yes, Bella." Venus whispered in a soft tear filled voice. Truth be told, she was tired of crying, she wanted this all to end.

"Why didn't you tell me the truth, if I had known-"

"What, we wouldn't have moved to Forks. If we didn't you wouldn't have Edward, we wouldn't know the Cullens or the Volturi. This was what fate wanted." Venus replied, it obvious she was trying to keep the subject away from the abuse.

Bella could be heard sighing. "I know, but you would have been safe from Charlie."

"No." Venus replied. "The only thing that kept me alive, before coming to Italy...was The Cullen family. There were plenty of days Bella, that I wanted to die." She could hear the gasps from the others on the other side of the phone. "You walked in on one attempt."

"When you had the gun, yeah I remember." Bella whispered. "You were nine, that's not something one forgets."

Venus took a deep breath, before speaking her heart towards the Cullens so Bella truly understood. "Bella, I know you feel guilty about having us move to Forks...but if we hadn't I wouldn't know what a true family was. I wouldn't of had two other sisters I could confide in, three brothers I could joke around with and laugh at till my sides hurt. I wouldn't have a mother I could run, and hug for hours and just cry if I needed to." She paused for a second. "And, I wouldn't know how a father should be. Carlisle is the best father I've ever known, and I'm glad to say he is the best one for me."

"Bella put it on speaker phone!" Venus could hear Rosalie loud and clear.

"Venus, we love you so much." Esme told her, as soon as the beep could be heard.

"We were meant to be your family, we know this, I saw it." Alice added.

"You are always welcome here." Emmett added, with a grin.

"Em, that is Carlisle's line." Rosalie hissed. "I love you, sis."

Edward and Jasper shared their words as well, before it was Carlisle's turn. "Venus, you were meant to be my daughter. Maybe not by blood or venom, but that doesn't make you any less mine." He said softly, and Venus started sobbing again. "Felix, I know you are there."

"Yes." The giant replied, still holding his Queen and sister.

"Let Aro know, I am sending this diary. Venus, you may not like it; but this will make it easier." Carlisle told them both.

"I will." Felix whispered softly.

"Sis…" Bella whispered. "I love you."

"I have and will always love you, Bella." Venus replied simply.

"I still wish you had been honest." Her sister told her simply.

"Bella, she wanted to protect you...also how were you so blind?" Rosalie could be heard. "Venus was in the hospital most of the week, or at our house recovering to the point we convinced Charlie to let Esme home school her."

"He only agreed because I told him it would be free of charge." Esme agreed softly.

"Guys, get off my sister. I didn't want her to see, I didn't want her to know." Venus replied.

"Why?" Bella asked softly.

"Bella." Edward stepped in. "Ve, loved you so much. That she was willing to stay silent, if that meant you were happy and safe."

"Alright, you all can argue. However Venus is hanging up, so she can rest her head. This stress is not good for anyone." Felix spoke finally.

"Felix is right." Carlisle agreed.

"I hope I'm not being replaced…" Emmett playfully growled to lighten the mood.

Venus couldn't help but giggle. "No one could replace you Em, thought Felix is also a giant teddy bear."

"Hey." Felix growled, but he was smiling brightly.

"You are!" Venus exclaimed. "At least to me, Demetri, Jane, Alec…."

"Okay, okay. I get it." Felix groaned rolling his eyes.

"Oh and before you ask, no Demetri is not replacing you Jasper." Venus added.

A loud playfully exaggerated sigh could be heard. "Thank God, my fear isn't coming true!"

"Alright, rest..now." Felix said, taking the phone and ending the call.

Venus turned to him. "So, what are you doing in Caius's room?"

"He asked me to keep an eye out, and when I heard your tears..I couldn't stop myself." He answered, gently placing the phone down.

"Rescuing the damsel in distress?" She teased playfully.

"Hey, teddy bears are meant to stop tears." He teased back, and she giggled. "Though I should probably get out of here."

"No, stay. Your my brother too." She replied.

Felix looked at her for a long while, before nodding his head. Though he felt very awkward laying upon his master's bed, especially as it was the one Master known for his bouts of anger and aggression. "You know, he might kill me?"

"I won't let him." Venus replied, laying her head back down on the pillow and falling back to sleep. The conversation, sobbing, and now comforting cold body took a lot out of her.

Felix sighed softly, looking at his newly acquired little sister. Mortal and vulnerable, but she had to be the strongest individual he had ever known. Taking all the pain in childhood, and instead of being bitter she chose to love others, letting them in. He knew in that second, as much as she needed them, the Volturi had needed her just as much, if not even more. With that he vowed to her, while she slept. "I will protect you, my sister, my friend, and my Queen, for as long as the eternal life will permit me to. Not just your life, but to try and keep a smile on your face, with a warm laugh that warm the undead hearts that reside in all of us."

He stayed by her side for about thirty more minutes, before three very distinct growls could be heard. "Felix, what in the gods are you doing?" Caius being the first one to speak.

"She asked me to stay, after a rather emotional phone call with the Cullens." He replied instantly, motioning to her tear stained face. "Apparently there is a diary that she forgot to bring with her...with detailed accounts of her abuse, Isabella found it."

The three kings stopped at that, before Marcus addressed the big elephant in the room. "And, you climbed into the bed that is Caius's, in his room, with our mate?"

"She asked me to stay, she is your mate. But, she is my sister..I won't leave her to cry alone, please don't ask that of me." Felix replied simply. "Oh, and Master Aro, Carlisle is sending the diary to you...thinking it will be easier on Venus if you read that."

The dark haired king eyed his guard, before nodding his head. "Thank you for informing me, now,please let us comfort our mate."

Felix nodded, before getting up to leave. "Venus you gotta let me go." He stated suddenly, noting she was smiling. "I know your awake."

"No I'm not." She replied.

"Caius is back." Felix replied, and she looked over and saw all three of her mates.

"Scram, BFG." She said in response, making him laugh as he was released and she jumped in Aro's arms.

"I love how I said Caius, and you jump to Aro." He laughed, as he left the room.

"She knows who is best." Aro replied cheekily.

Venus looked up at him for a moment. "I don't know, Caius makes a pretty good mattress."

Marcus sighed, before stepping in before Caius could boast and Aro became butt hurt. "Your sister, knows now?"

Venus stopped laughing, looking down almost instantly. "Yeah." She whispered, going quiet shortly after.

"She knows more than we do?" Aro asked.

She said nothing, she didn't need to. They already knew, as she expected them to drop her and leave; but was surprised. Marcus simply took her from Aro, and cradled her to his chest.

"Do you want to tell us something, so we aren't surprised?" Marcus asked softly.

Venus looked at them, before her head tilted back to look at the three of her mates. Slowly she nodded her head. "August 16th, 2008." She began softly.

The three looked at her, taking note that it was just about to turn 2011. She was sixteen now, she would have just turned thirteen at that time. "Go on."

"Charlie, my biological father wanted to see my sister, and so he rented a cabin..so my mom, Bella, and I could all pretend to be a family again." She whispered slowly, her mates eying her. "On the sixth, Bella and my mom left me at the cabin...and I thought he went with, and so I went to the hot tub."

Marcus had a feeling he knew where this was going, and by the darkening eyes of his brothers, they did as well.

"I was probably in there for about twenty minutes before my fath- before Charlie joined me. He made slight comments, saying that I was beginning to show a body that my mother had." Venus whispered, tears beginning to fall almost instantly. "I felt uncomfortable, and decided to get out; but he grabbed me dragged me back into the water. He asked where I thought I was going, and when I didn't answer he smacked me, then told me I looked so much better when I had a little red on my cheek."

Aro growled darkly, listening to this tale in absolute disgust as the picture began to become clear as to what the man who claimed to be a father had done. Looking over to his blond brother, he could see the beast just itching to be unleashed.

"He then climbed on top of me, telling me if I said anything he would kill Bella and my Mom." She sobbed the final word's, looking up with her eyes closed, tears streaming from the corners once again.

Marcus who seemed to be the only level headed person in the room, held his sobbing mate to him. One look at his two brothers and the jury had spoken, Charlie Swan would not live another much longer. "We aren't leaving your side, today." He whispered, watching as his brothers took several deep breaths; before nodding in agreement.

0.o.0

The next morning, Aro was sitting in his private bedchambers. The diary in his hand, as thankfully being Vampires they could get speedy deliveries. His hand held a grip on it, truly trying not to break it, but with each page; the scent of old blood hit him. His eyes could see where his mate had smeared, what he guessed came from her wrists. His undead heartbreaking at each painfilled page, paragraph, word, and syllable.

When he read the accounts on the rape, and with how Venus did not tell him that her father had done it more than once. Unable to control the strength of the beast that resided within him, the book practically shattered like glass.

"Jane!" He yelled, even though it was not necessary.

"Master?" She asked, walking in with confusion.

"You and I, are going to Forks." He told her, eyes black like ebony; hunger was not the culprit. "We have a rapist to kill."

Jane's eyes flew open, before her own red irises turned black. "Are you saying, her father raped her?" She asked.

"Multiple times." Was hissed in response.

"Do you want me to get Alec?" She asked, with a snarl.

"No." He replied, venom practically oozing from his mouth. Many always worried about Caius, as he seemed to be the unstable one, the angry one. However, none seemed to realize is Aro was the true bloodthirsty beast in the castle. He was just very good at hiding it, as he ruled with an iron fist; but tried to keep allies. Shall you cross him however, hell itself will seem like such a nice place.


Can you see how this was difficult, no..okay.

Now for your questions: (first) How did you feel about the Felix segment? Personally I love him and Demetri and it seems they don't get nearly as much love as Jane and Alec, so I try to include them as much as possible. (second) What is going through the head of Caius or Marcus? You saw Aro's reaction, so what are theirs?
