the only way to give Carlisle a chance is if we have our friends meet us at volterra and we use the underground pass but we cannot take Scarlett with us "Eleazar commanded. " your damn well not leaving me behind look eleazar I know you mean well and want to keep me safe but this is Carlisle we are talking about this could be my last chance to see him . I hope its not but it could be . ill be fine worst thing to happen is that a human gives birth in front of an audience of vampires not something you see everyday. I wont slow you down not if you take turns carrying me we need to put this right" Scarlett cried . Tanya rubbed her back in a soothing manner . " all right lets make some phone calls and head out , Scarlett why dont you go change dear we should be done before you come down" Eleazar hinted and true to his words they were . next stop volterra.
A few hours later Scarlett , the Cullens and the Denali coven met up in Volterra with their fellow friends and allies. There were a number of vampires with a wide variety of gifts and sizes , each vowed to protect Scarlett with their lives. The gathering or army of vampires you may say were currently gathered just on the outskirts of volterra discussing their next moves. Whilst each were gathering their thoughts , Scarlett took this moment to make themselves heard. " Before we make our move underground to the castle I would personally like to offer you all my gratitude and our main concern is bringing Carlisle back and getting the truth from Aro or whomever is behind this. I beg of you not to attack without true cause our numbers alone should be enough to halt their movements. I guess this is it huh rose ". If Scarlett said she wasn't scared she would be lying but truth be told she needed to be here. " It is , I promise you mother than nobody here will let anything happen to you" Rosalie soothed her mother and sure enough each vampire followed in suit behind Scarlett and the remaining Cullens. Emmett gently picked Scarlett up bridal style and drop down the dark underground entrance to the castle. It was agreed that this would be the less conspicuous way to gain entry than to simply storm through the streets of Volterra with hundreds of red eyed 'people' all making their way towards the castle after tourist hours. Setting Scarlett back on her feet , she let out a low breath she didn't realise she had been holding . The underground tunnels were cold and damp and quite eerie. It didn't take too long before each vampire was located in the tunnel. Keeping as quiet as possible Eleazar , Vladimir and Stefan lead the ways through the tunnels and halls of the castle. The odd thing being no Volturi guards were in sight. That usually meant one thing . A trial was being held. Hurrying along at a faster pace the mass of vampires accompanied by Scarlett stood in front on the tall oak wooden doors. " now or never" Scarlett said and almost instantly the doors were ripped open . There in the centre of the throne room was Carlisle on his knees , evidently on trial.
"What on earth do we have here ? I'm afraid I don't seem to recall inviting any one of you here" Aro sneered taking steps down and making eye contact with Scarlett ." Because we weren't invited were we " Emmett replied with a smirk crossing his arms over his chest . Scarlett inwardly smirked before turning to face Aro once more. " What Emmett means is we have come to collect Carlisle and bring him home where he belongs , after all he has committed no crime. Although I think you know that already dont you Aro?" Scarlett addressed her voice coming through more fierce than she initially intended. " That is king Aro to you and I can assure you I have no idea what your insinuating . Making false accusations is punishable by death young lady" Aro seethed. " Liar! He's lying" came a voice from behind Scarlett ." I'm Maggie of the Irish coven and my gift is to know when one is lying and he absolutely is and we have proof" Maggie informed. " I am your king , you will all leave now or so be it " Aro shouted turning back to his throne ." You can only be king as long as your kingdom respects you , there are plenty of people who could fill your place Aro I can assure you of that . I know you sent a guard by the name of Chelsea to tamper with the bonds belonging to me and Carlisle. We know this because she was daft enough to leave behind her Volturi crest not mention her scent simply lead from the cullens home to my personal home . Last time I was informed of your rules separating mates was a big no no . Is this the level you wish to stoop too Aro , all we wish is that Carlisle is returned to us safely and we will leave Volterra. It would be as if we were never here. If not then I assure you there are an awful lot more of us than there are you . The Volturi reign could easily be over , perhaps the cullens will rule in your place ?" Scarlett seethed . She hadn't been this angry in a long time. To back up her accusations she pulled the Volturi crest from her pocket and simply left it dangle . " Your choice Italian scum" grinned Vladimir. Before Aro could retaliate Marcus spoke up." Carlisle is free to go and is released of all charges , Cullens please accept our apologies and condolences . I assure you Aro acted alone and will hereby no longer remain a king , I assure you that my brother Caius agrees therefore Demetri , Felix escort Aro to the dungeon ." Carlisle rose to his feet with the help of Eleazar and Emmett . As everyone proceeded to leave Scarlett felt something . " Carmen , I think my waters have just broken" Then panic broke out as Carlisle was rushed out and Scarlett was rushed to the Denali's home . Question being would they make it in time .
