Me: I have a game plan I shared with my friend and I believe that there are only 2 or 3 chapters left.

Edward: Le Gasp!

Me: Do not fret my dears! There shall be a sequel. If you ask nicely, I might share some with you! ;]

Bella: Let's get rolling then!

Disclaimer: I really am sorry to say I don't own Twilight. I do own my half-ass attempts at other stories that others say are good though!

Bella's POV

Aro seemed surprised at my forceful tone.

"Caius! Marcus!" he addressed his brothers, "Take Bella and Alexander to their room. We must send word to all the other vampires. There is going to be a burning."

Though I had no right to, I sneered at Caius and Marcus. Caius' scowl caused me to flinch, but Marcus looked at me indifferently.

"Come!" Caius barked, swishing past me.

Marcus grabbed my arms, gently, and wheeled me to follow Caius. We stepped out of the room and began traversing down a different hallway.

"You are giving us much entertainment, human. We haven't seen a burning in such a long time." Marcus said softly.

"It wouldn't have happened if John, Marie, and Todd hadn't kidnapped Alexander," I whispered painfully.

"Your son was kidnapped previously?" Marcus asked, instantly curious.

I nodded and smiled down at Alexander. He stretched up and grabbed my nose.

"Ow ow let go Alexander," I said removing his hand.

"Strong for a half-breed isn't he?" Marcus muttered, actually cracking a smile.

"Oh yes, and his name is Alexander Michael. Not 'it' or 'half-breed'." I muttered dangerously.

"I understand, Bella," Marcus said.

Caius looked back at us and frowned.

"Here you are."

Caius grabbed my arm and shoved me into the room. I would have fell if Marcus hadn't caught me.

"Thanks," I mumbled.

He steadied me and looked back at his, now livid, brother.

"Don't mind him. Nothing pleases him except death and destruction." Marcus explained.

"'Course. Who doesn't love a good death every now and then?" I asked, half-jokingly.

Caius actually laughed. It chilled me to the bone, and I shivered.

"Finally. I see a human has finally gotten what I am trying to get at. Come Marcus. Aro will be expecting us." Caius snapped his fingers and stalked off.

"The burning doesn't hurt that much, Isabella. Good-bye Alexander." Marcus practically glided out of the room and shut the door behind him.

I laid Alexander down on the huge bed in the room, and he started kicking his feet. I noticed that this room was more brightly lit than the room or the hallway I had been in previously. The floors were a flagrant red tile; the walls and ceiling a deep brooding black.

The curtains hung before seven-foot tall windows. They were a deep burgundy color, and there were seven of these curtains. Around the room sat a desk with a computer, a television, and a phone. I stood in front of the bed and the bedside table. The room was very spacious and contained many exotic plants.

I made my way over to the phone and picked it up, hoping…no, praying that it worked. I placed it against my ear.

Dead.

"Shit," I whispered, setting the phone down again.

I looked at the computer and pressed the on button.

It worked!

I sat at the desk and watched at how fast it loaded.

Wow.

Once on, I clicked onto Google. I typed in, swiftly, lycanthropes.

A lot of articles that came up were just stupid hoaxes, but somehow I knew when the one I had found was true.

Clicking on it, I waited, very impatient. Too much information came up on it, and I had barely skimmed it when someone came knocking on my door. I jumped up, flipped off the computer, and went to the door.

I cautiously opened it, and a smiling Marcus met my gaze.

"Lunch," He said holding out a tray.

I noticed there was no food that Alexander could eat except some applesauce.

"Um…is it possible for you to get some softer food like mashed potatoes? For Alexander?" I asked.

He looked at Alexander and handed me the tray. Slapping his forehead, he nodded to me and ambled off.

I laughed to myself and closed the door. I took the tray to the bedside table and sat on the bed. I grabbed the small bowl of applesauce and pulled Alexander into my lap. He took the applesauce eagerly, and I smiled as he crossed his eyes at me.

Soon, however, the applesauce was gone, and I was eating the sandwich that was left for me. Alexander looked up at me expectantly, and he opened his mouth again.

"Wait for Marcus to come back, Alexander. Then you'll eat again." I whispered.

As if on que, Marcus stepped inside the door carrying some mashed potatoes, and a bottle. I stood up to take the things from Marcus, but he held his hand up. He walked over to me and smiled down at Alexander.

"Here."

He handed me the bottle and set the mashed potatoes on the tray.

"Thank you. I probably know for a fact that Caius or Aro would not do this for me, or for Alexander." I muttered putting the bottle in Alexander's mouth.

He sucked on it for a bit, and it was silent for a time.

"Yeah. I suppose your right." He concluded.

I chuckled softly, and he eventually joined in. Alexander finished the bottle in no time, and I began feeding him potatoes.

"Human food. Nasty." Marcus muttered, wrinkling his nose.

I laughed, but my face grew serious.

"Won't they like…harm you or something if they find you in here?" I asked him.

"No. Aro and Caius may be above me, but we do not hurt each other. At all actually. Of course, if I were to betray them…then yeah, they would harm me." He muttered, shrugging.

"Well, I suppose that is expected. I mean betrayal is a fickle thing you know? I was betrayed by someone who said they would try to help me. That was just because they didn't know who Alexander was. He is just a human like everyone else. Just because he might have special attributes. So what if his father was something that no one has really seen. I love him all the same.

"I just can't understand why they wouldn't just accept him for who he was and not because he is different."

I sighed.

"I hear a double meaning in your words. You went to be with your mother correct?" He asked.

I nodded, amazed he knew this.

"You were going to have a child and you didn't like anyone judging you at your school, so you stayed with your mother for the time…and then came to Forks a few months later. Double meaning."

"You understand," I whispered.

"More than you could know. Get some rest. Who knows how many vampires will be coming tomorrow. In fact, I think I can already hear the Cullen's. They won't be able to see you until the…event…but try to get some rest." He stood up, and I continued to feed Alexander some potatoes. Eventually, he finished them and I was able to set them on the bedside table, and get some sleep with Alexander in my arms for the first time in a long while.

Edward's POV

I never thought I would be coming to this place.

Never.

I also never anticipated coming her trying to free Bella from the clutches of the evil vampires we called the Volturi.

We were escorted into the room and there stood Caius, Aro, and Marcus. They were exactly how I remembered them, but Marcus was different. There seemed to be a light in his eyes that I had never seen before.

"Wel-" Aro started.

"Welcome to Italy! Carlisle! It's been ages!" Marcus exclaimed, walking to stand in front of us.

I watched him lock eyes with me, and I saw Bella and Alexander in his mind, safe...for now.

Carlisle seemed surprised because he didn't say anything.

"Oh, yes! Marcus! It has been a long time." Carlisle said finally, nodding.

I watched Aro look at Caius, and Caius shrugged obviously not expecting such a reaction from Marcus. They both looked confused as to what made Marcus behave like this.

"I believe that you are here for the burning yes?" Aro asked, joining his brother down in front of us.

My nostrils flared in absolute anger.

"Well actually, Aro, we came here to see if we could get Bella back," Carlisle mentioned.

"Well, Carlisle, I am sorry to say but she has made her choice," Aro said waving his hand.

"What do you mean?" I growled.

"I gave her two choices. One, she could go free. Of course, she would have to leave Alexander here, and if he was a nuisence, then we would kill him. Or two, she wouldn't give him up, she would burn, and we would take him anyway. Guess which one she chose?"

My eyes widened as I watched Aro's smirk grow even wider on his face.

"Bingo, Edward. I will make sure you get a front row seat to watch her burn." Aro stepped away and Marcus glanced at me with eyes of pity.

I waited for tears to fall, but of course they could not. All I could do was scream and thrash in my mind, thinking of some way to get Bella out of this horrible hell of a mess.

Me: I'm a little mean I know.

Bella: A little?

Edward: You know something?

Jasper: You are?

Me: OKAY! I get it. Gosh.

Jasper: Sorry.

Me: It's okay! Don't get me wrong people, Edward Cullen is great and all, but I like Jasper WAY much more.

Jasper: -sticks tongue out at Edward-

Edward: Pft.

Jasper: Reviews would be wise.
