Hello guys, I am so glad you are all loving this story. I had no idea it would blow up like this, but almost 50 reviews, well maybe by tomorrow we will be passed that I don't know. But again, thank you. I hope you enjoy this chapter, and as always I will have a brain thinker at the bottom.


Charlie Swan, struggled in his bindings, muffling his cries for help was a simple gag. Which made Aro wish he had brought Alec with him as well, it would make moving the pitiful excuse of a man much easier. However, luckily Carlisle came to his rescue.

"Oh Carlisle, I hope you are not here to stop me." Aro questioned.

"No, I am offering to sedate him..so that he doesn't draw any attention to you once you have landed in Volterra." The blonde doctor told his king, taking note of how Charlie kept looking at him in shock. "Once you had sympathy from me, but after seeing first hand what you have done to Venus; you deserve this."

The human's brown eyes went huge as he started struggling again. A zap of pain radiating from his head, down to his body. It was small but it was enough to make him feel as if he was being held over a fire.

"Jane dear, I did not authorize that yet." Aro told his dearest guard.

Jane looked to Aro, gently inclining her head. "I apologize Master, I couldn't help myself."

"Rest assured, young one. There will be time for that later." Aro said in his high pitched child like voice, before looking to the man. "After all, he shall endure the same torture that he gave my lover." His voice darkened tremendously.

Carlisle looked at the man. "Aro, Bella wishes to see him one last time; if that is allowed."

"I will permit it." Was the reply softly.

Both Edward and Bella walked on to the plane, the older daughter looked at her father. She looked at everyone else who were watching her as well. Having so many questions, as she knelt to her father, asking the only one that made her skin crawl. "Why?" Her voice was quiet and hoarse from crying, crying due to the loss of her father, all the information in the diaries; knowing how badly he hurt Venus.

"He is wondering, why what?" Edward whispered, as he would communicate for Charlie as he can't.

Bella glared at this. "Why, would you hurt her?"

Edward watched, as Charlie tried to look innocent; but his mind was much more revealing. "Because, no one would stop me. She was a mistake, and she ruined the family."

"She didn't ruin anything, Da-Charlie. She fixed a broken home, Mom hadn't been happy long before Venus came into the picture." Bella hissed.

"She ruined the family." Edward repeated, making a note how the bound human kept glaring at him.

Bella just shook her head calmly. "You are supposed to protect and serve, not endanger or hurt. More to the point, you were her father..and you raped her."

Edward's golden eyes narrowed and he growled instantly. "You don't want me to repeat your mind this time, Venus is the Queen of our kind-" he was cut off as Aro took a hold of his hand.

A fierce growl that rattled the plane came next. "You raped my Queen, mate, and lover...in hopes no one would want used trash?!" He all but roared.

Bella looked at the man who raised her. "My sister isn't trash, and luckily she has several people who want her. She has three mates, and by looking at Jane I can tell a family in the guard as well."

Jane nodded her head. "She is my sister."

The blonde doctor moved up. "She is a daughter to me, and my wife. A truly loved sibling by my kids."

Edward nodded. "Truly is one the best little sisters we have."

"You lost Charlie." Bella whispered, pain, hurt, and anger in her voice. "Now, you will die." With that the Cullens departed, after Carlisle gave the sedative.

Venus

Venus sighed, as the day went by with no sight of Aro. She was thankful the have two of her mates, but she needed all three. Something in her, made her want to know they were all safe. Though she had a feeling that she knew where he was, especially with none of the Cullens picking up their phones.

"My cara, he will be back. He took Jane wherever he went." Marcus whispered, as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

Turning in his embrace. "I think he went to Forks." She confessed.

"Why do you say that?" He asked, though he had reached the same conclusion.

"Jasper, nor Esme are picking up the phone, they are the Cullens that always answer." She replied simply.

"How often do you communicate with young Jasper?" Marcus asked, Caius was jealous of the interaction, while he himself knew it was a sibling bond.

"Daily." She replied instantly.

Nodding his head softly. "Aro very well could be in Forks, but you must understand. The rage we feel for the sorry excuse of a man, that hurt you...it is hard to contain. You have seen the destruction that Caius is capable of, but that was just a taste; because he knew what leaving would mean."

"But Aro-"

"Aro is a very dangerous individual, he tries to hide his beast. Tries to lock it away, with fake smiles and gleeful laughs. Those once were real, but then his sister was cruelly taken from him. Killed before both he and I." Marcus whispered softly, while cutting her off. "That was the first time I had ever seen Aro's beast make an appearance. He was violent and cruel, and when he saw the destruction he had caused, the lives had taken."

Venus went quiet for a moment. "His fake smiles and laughs came from it."

"Indeed." Marcus answered. "But, all of our beasts were awaken. Aro's answered the knock the hardest."

Venus closed her eyes, while grabbing her chest. "His sister, what was her name."

"Didmey." He replied.

Her eyes flew open instantly. "She was your former wife?"

Marcus looked to her. "You were told a little about us, then?" He asked, and she nodded slowly. Venus felt anger overcome her, but it did not fill her. "Carlisle should not have spoken about us, and you! Should have asked me about her!"

Venus was frozen in shock. "Marcus, I didn't ask about her. I simply asked who you all were in the painting, that's it." A sob escaped her lips, as she felt his anger directed at her.

"Mia cara." He whispered to her. "I am sorry, I let my anger get the best of me. It is just."

"You still love her." She whispered.

He didn't answer, nor did he really need to. His red eyes searched her brown ones for resentment, but he found none, even as her tears kept falling. "You are not angry with me?"

"How can I be, I was born in this century..you've lived for thousands. You had every right to search for happiness." Venus whispered, before turning softly. "I will see you tonight, same time as the last."

Marcus watched as she left, knowing it would be best not to follow her. Sitting down on the window's ledge he sighed. "Didmey." He breathed his former lovers name, he did miss her. "I have found my mate, I need to let you go."

0.o.0

Venus sighed as she wandered the castle, Marcus did not meet her the night before; but she didn't expect it. She wanted to be there for him, as he was for her. At the moment, she sucked at it. Having walked away from the night before, her head had been filled with to much.

"My Queen?" A voice called, making her look up to see Jane. A soft look on the small females face, however it was then Venus realized that Jane had been missing as well.

"Aro?" She asked her friend and sister quickly.

"He is in his study." Jane said with a smile, as the human ran up and hugged her.

"Is he okay?" She asked, tears falling on the vampire's shoulder.

Jane was silent, having not had a mate of her own, she didn't know what to expect when she did. However, feeling her queen breakdown in worry it seemed. "You will need to see him for yourself."

"Run?" Venus asked.

Marcus stood in the shadows listening in, meeting Jane's eye quickly. "Allow me to take you." He called out, making his mate turned to him. "Please, we can talk more."

"Marcus…" She whispered. "I am so sorry."

Jane quickly realized that her Queens tears, had not just been over her worry for Aro. She also battled with a great deal of guilt, from a fight, the guard figured. "I will take my leave then." Bowing her blonde head, Jane quickly left towards the dungeons.

Marcus watched, before he ran to Venus. "You have nothing to be sorry about, it is me..who must apologize."

"Don't be silly." She whispered. "I shouldn't have walked away, you have always been there, since I got here." Tears began to fall instantly, she was about to say more when his lips were on hers.

"I love you." Marcus confessed when he pulled away. "Yes, I loved Didmey..and yes, I still do. But, I love you."

Venus stared into his eyes. "I love you to."


Well here it is, who is ready for Aro to be welcomed home..now how will Venus react to him is the brain thinker.
