A/N: So Bella's part of this chapter is another rape scene. This one isn't quite as bad as the first but it's still a bit graphic. If you choose not to read it, I understand. You will not miss anything major in the plot. I promise. However, there is an Edward part of the chapter so you should scroll down until you see his name. That part isn't bad at all. Also, I'm putting something in this chapter that is complimants of The VampiricAngel who has so kindly given me permission to use these ideas. However, when she wrote it in her fic, Bella was a vampire but for mine she is still a human. I'm not positive if the same rules apply. However, I've asked around to see if it was possible for it to be done to a human and I got conflicting answers. I'm going to assume that it is possible but highly unpleasant for the female. If I'm inaccurate please just stretch your imagination a little please. (Beliee you'll know what part I'm talking about when we get there.) I think that's it for tonight. Remember if you don't want the rape then skip Bella's part.

BELLA

I fought as hard as I could as Jane tried to drag me back to the playroom. I continued the fight even when my body began to throb from the pain of it all. However, my mere human strength was no match for Jane's vampiric strength. She would've been able to beat me even if I was up to my full strength.

So I was once again completely naked and chained to the metal table. My body was in the exact same position it was in that morning. My back was stinging terribly from the open slashes making contact with the cold metal table. I, however, did not do anything to indicate that I was in pain. I wasn't going to give them that satisfaction this time. I made the mistake the first time but I was prepared to make sure I didn't repeat it.

Aro was standing beside me. He face was right above mine and he was wearing a sick and twisted smile. I had a feeling that tonight was going to be so much worse than before.

"So pet." Aro said. "I am very displeased by your performance this evening. You embarrassed myself and my brothers in front of our guests as well as the entire guard."

"So?" I prompted with slight sarcasm. I really wasn't sure why I was fueling the fire. It just seemed like the thing to do.

Aro backhanded me. It wasn't hard enough to do any damage but it did connect with the table, rather painfully.

"So, how can I expect my guard to obey me when my own pet won't?" he growled.

"Sounds like a personal problem to me." I replied. Why the hell did I say that? Was I trying to make the situation worse?

I cringed just waiting for some kind of punishment. Aro simply chuckled.

"I guess you really do need another lesson in respect, don't you? Don't worry, you're going to be the model pet by the time I'm finished with you." he stated stroking my cheek.

"Don't touch me!" I spat turning my head away from him.

He grabbed my chin and forced me to look back at him. His sadistic smirk was ever present.

"Did you forget that you belong to me now?" he questioned. "I can touch you whenever, wherever and however I please."

As if to prove his point, he cupped my left breast in his hand and squeezed it hard. It really hurt but I had already promised myself that I wouldn't react. I wasn't going to give them that satisfaction. He simply laughed and released my breast.

"Don't worry, my dear." he stated brushing hair out of my face. "You'll be screaming by the time we're finished tonight. I promise." He then turned to face the others. "Boys, you'll be happy to know that, due to her lack of respect, there will be no restrictions tonight. We could do as much as we want with however many we want. Just make sure you don't kill her."

Both Caius and Marcus's faces lit up when he said this. I gulped, suddenly afraid of what was about to happen. Aro removed his clothes and walked down my body until he was between my legs. He rammed the four fingers of his right hand into me. He was using a lot more force than he had earlier and it hurt quite a bit more. I, however, was holding my own very well. I hadn't yet let out a scream even though silent tears were rolling down my cheeks. I knew from the beginning though that it would be impossible not to cry.

Aro simply laughed at my lack of a reaction. That's when it all went to pieces. Very slowly, he slid the four fingers of his left hand inside me as well. I couldn't hold back my screams any longer. I felt him tearing me apart with every push. The others simply stood in the corner laughing at my screams. Aro was laughing as well as I felt the blood flowing out of me. I was begging for him to just fuck me and get it over with. Anything was better than this torture.

Caius must've gotten sick of my screams because, before I knew it, he was naked and on top of me again. He wasted no time in shoving his cock back into my mouth. He ordered me to suck it again. Caius was the one who scared me the most of the three. I didn't think I'd ever dare to disobey a direct order from him. Yet, I found it terribly difficult to ignore what Aro was doing down below to focus on what Caius wanted. I did the best I could but I could feel Caius getting angrier and angrier as he continued to push himself in and out of my mouth.

Finally, Aro removed his fingers. I could only feel the remnants of the pain from his fingers for a few seconds. I couldn't see but I was sure that Aro was licking the blood off of his fingers. When he finally pushed himself inside me, it didn't hurt to bad because his fingers had really stretched me out. I would've been relieved if Caius's cock wasn't gagging me once again.

Caius pulled out before his release. This confused me a lot but I didn't ask questions. I was just glad he wasn't going to make me swallow it again. However, by the look on his face, I knew he wasn't finished. He slowly crawled off of me and went to join Aro between my legs.

My heart started hammering in my chest. I had read about what he was going to do in a magazine somewhere. People had claimed that it was possible but I didn't believe it. I did find myself wondering from time to time though. But I didn't want to find out like this.

"Please, don't!" I screamed.

I didn't need to get ripped apart anymore tonight. I didn't know how much more my body could handle. Caius pushed my legs further apart and shoved himself in next to Aro. My screams intensified. I could hear Marcus laughing from behind me. He seemed to take more pleasure in watching my pain than causing it.

I could feel the two brothers ripping me apart even more as I felt the blood pouring out. I screamed and begged for them to stop. All three of them just laughed and Aro and Caius continued. Marcus must've finally got sick of hearing my screams because he shoved a ball gag in my mouth and fastened it around my head.

It really wasn't necessary because less than a minute later, the pain and blood lose finally plunged me into darkness.

EDWARD

It took nearly an hour for my family to calm me down enough to get me to move. We spent the next hour checking and moving into a hotel room. I thought the whole thing was quite pointless really. We were getting together to discuss something that had already been decided. I was going to be the one to hand myself over to them. No one else. I wasn't going to ask them to give their lives up for something that was completely my fault. I didn't care what anyone else thought. I was going to do this my way and if they didn't like it, well that was just too damn bad.

We were now sitting in the hotel room, everyone wanted to say something but no one knew where to begin. Rosalie and Emmett were sitting on the bed. Rosalie was curled into Emmett's chest and his arms were around her. I was very grateful that the two of them didn't have to make the choice. I didn't think they could've existed without each other. Emmett kept Rosalie grounded. And Emmett wasn't really Emmett unless Rose was there. I couldn't have asked them to give that up. Jasper and Alice were the same way.

They were sitting in the armchair. Alice in Jasper's lap with his arms around her. Jasper was thinking about how badly he wanted to save Bella. Yet, he didn't think that he could give Alice up for Bella. I understood that completely and would never even ask him to do it. Alice thoughts were along the same lines as Jasper's but she was willing to do it if it was the only way to save Bella. I was grateful to her for that but could never ask it of her. She loved Jasper as much as I loved Bella. I couldn't take her away from him.

Roxy was sitting in the corner by the door with her head in her hands. She was thinking that it should be her because she was the newest to the family. She was also the only one who didn't have anything to lose. She just wasn't sure how she should put all that into words. It didn't matter because I wasn't going to let her do it either. After all the pain she's gone through in her life, she didn't deserve to have to spend eternity with those monsters. Even if she'd be considered an equal.

Esme and Carlisle were on the other bed. Esme was sitting next to Carlise with her hand in his and her head on his shoulder. They thoughts were very depressing and hopeless. They wanted Bella back and safe, as much as any of us did but they had no idea how to do it without losing another child.

I couldn't take anymore of this.

"Would everyone please stop trying to figure who's going to join the guard or make a case for yourself?" I stated moving away from the vanity I was leaning against. "Because it's going to be me and that's the end of the story. We are in this position because of me so I'm going to take the fall for everyone."

'But Edward," Alice stated. "I was the one who pushed you into acting on your feelings for Bella. I was so selfish in wanting to be her friend that I didn't think about the consquences."

"No, Alice." I countered. "I could've chose to ignore you and her and kept running but I didn't. I gave into myself and confirmed everything that she figured out about us. I should've just kept denying what I was and how I felt about her. So it's my fault."

"We all had a part to play in this, Edward." Jasper stated. "We didn't try and stop you once we realized your feelings weren't going to go away. we could've fought you on bringing her into our lives and revealing all of our secrets. But we were all more than happy to make room for her. I think we were all so excited to have some for our human selves back because Bella brought out a lot more human in all of us. And we didn't think about what could possibly happen so it's really everyone's fault."

"But I brought her into our world." I argued. "You guys were just trying to help me be happy. Besides, you all have to much to lose and I won't let you lose it. No matter what I have to do."

"But Edward," Roxy said. "You have something to lose too. You could lose Bella. Do you think she wants to be free without you? Let me do it. I'm the newest in the family. And I've brought nothing but trouble. If it wasn't for me, Kyle woudn't have been in Forks and the Volturi would've never found out about Bella."

"That's not true!" I protested. "Kyle would've shown up in Forks regardless of whether or not you were there. But we saved her because you were were able to help us get the information that we needed about him. So don't even think about putting it on yourself."

"But that doesn't change the fact that I have nothing to lose." she countered. "I don't even have a mate."

"Yes, but you're finally completely free of Kyle. I won't let anyone take that away from you again." Edward protested. "You deserve so much better than an eternity of taking orders from sadistic bastards who deserve to die."

"STOP IT!" Esme yelled getting off the bed. It was the first time in all my years with her that I've seen her this upset. "We need to stop fighting about this. Edward, whatever you may think, none of this is your fault. Like Jasper said, we all had our parts to play that lead to this. It was all supposed to come down to this. I don't know why but it's supposed to be this way. Besides, Edward, even with everything that's happened, I know that Bella would not have it any other way. She'd take everything that's happened with James, Jacob, Kyle and even what's happening now with a smile because in the end she still had you. You were both goners the minute you realized you were in love, though. Because the heart wants what it wants. There would've been no escaping it. If the two of you kept running from it, it would've tore you apart inside. You'd be nothing but empty shells by now. And that's something that I wouldn't have wanted to see. My point is, though, I understand the decision you have made and, even though, it's killing me, I support it. I just don't want you doing this as a way to punish yourself. Because you've done nothing wrong. You just followed your heart and that's the best any of us can do. I just want you to know that none of this is your fault. It just is. You have to accept that. I'm proud of everything you've ever done involving Bella and I will do everything in my power to make sure that she is taken care of when it's all over."

"Thank you, Esme." I stated and wrapped my arms around her.

I could hear the thoughts of my family running along the same lines. I was glad they finally accepted what I wanted to do. I had to save her for good this time and though I knew it wasn't going to be easy, I do it for her. I was grateful that they'd stopped fighting me. They all wished that I would change my mind, of course but that's what family did. However, they didn't say it.

"So let's go?" I said. "There's no point in her being there any longer than she has to be."

"We can't go now." Carlisle stated.

"Why not?" I questioned.

"Because, Aro said twenty four hours and that's what he wants." Carlisle explained. "You see, Aro likes to be in control of everything. If he says something then that's the way it's gotta be. Even if we did show up there before ten o'clock tomorrow night, he wouldn't see us. Because that would mean he didn't have control over his "subjects."

"So what, we're just supposed to sit here and let her suffer some more." I growled.

"I;m sorry, Edward." Carlisle stated. "I hated as much as you do but going early isn't going to do her any good. Aro would probably hurt her worse if we did. Jusy to prove what happens when he doesn't get what he wants."

"But you have no idea what they've done to her. What their doing to her now." I pleaded.

"Edward, I've lived with them for a few years. I have a pretty decent idea of what they're like." he stated. "But it won't help to go before Aro wants us. I'm sorry. But staring here and doing this they way Aro wants in what's best for Bella. So please, just relax?"

I let out a low growl but sank to the floor in defeat. I put my head in my hands feeling untterly useless. What good was having a plan if I couldn't save her? Why did Aro care what time he got me so long as he got me? After a minute or two, I felt Alice's hand on my shoulder and heard her thought,

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Yes." I replied quietly.

"You know it'll destroy Bella, right?" she asked.

"I know but she's a strong girl. If anyone can make it through something like this, she can." I answered. "Especially if she has you. You'll help her, won't you?"

"Of course, I will." Alice replied. "She my sister, I won't let her fall."

"Thank you." I stated. We sat in silence for a few minutes as we all rolled the situation over in our minds. "Alice, I need you to promise me a few things."

"Anything." she answered.

'First, I need you to promise that no matter what Bella says or does, you will not change her." I stated. "She doesn't deserve this life especially if I'm not going to be in it with her. She deserve to be happy and finally have a normal human life."

"I promise that I won't change her. And that I'll do everything in my power to let her have a normal human life." Alice pledged. I smiled at her.

"I also need you to make sure that she stays safe and happy. Even if it means sending her to Jacksonville with Renee and Phil."

"I can't promise that one but I will do everything in my power to make it happen."

"I know you will."

We lapsed into silence again. I tried to block out the sad thoughts of the family as we sat there. Finally, Alice spoke again,

"I'll miss you. You're the best big brother a person could ask for."

"I'll miss you too, Al. But I won't be gone forever. I'll find a way out. No matter how long it takes."

"I love you so much."

"I love you too, little sis."

We hugged for a long time. I spent the next few hours saying goodbye to my family. I knew it was going to be hard enough for me to say goodbye to Bella later and didn't want to make it any harder on myself. It was one of the most difficult things that I've ever had to do but I knew it was for the best. Bella needed me but the family didn't.

Once I had finished my goodbyes, we sat in silence for a few more hours. I, however, couldn't bear hearing the families' depressed and sympathetic thoughts, so I left. I spent the rest of the day wondering the dark alleys of Volterra trying to make sense of what I was about to do.
