This is a very short chapter. I will be putting out another one today. It will be the battle. I wanted to get this out to you first so it could stew for few hours. Hehe, I know I'm mean, but I won't make you wait long. All shall be revealed.

Chapter 12 – You?

After Gerald's plan had been gone over and agreed to, I went into one of the two large bathrooms on to change. The cool thing about being a vampire is I can wear whatever I wanted into battle and not have to worry about it being constrictive. I just had to worry about looking bad ass. I always felt that looking a certain way could help make you feel a certain way. So, I changed into my favorite ass kicking outfit.

I finished up and headed back out into the main cabin. We still had a little while till we landed in Italy so I stretched out on a couch, closed my eyes, and thought about the plan. Then I thought about how as soon as we got back I was going to make up for lost time with Demetri and Edward. I would get to know my new family and maybe buy myself a new car. Random thought I know, but I really want something to off road with.

Finally, we landed at on a private runway that I had had commissioned and built about five years ago. From here, it was only about a two hour run to Volterra.

As we filed off the plan no one said a word. I guess we were all too busy focusing. We stood on the tarmac as the pilots pulled the plan into the hanger. They were under orders to wait by the plane until they received the call that we were on our way. Then they should be ready for take off as soon as we get here. With the amount of money we were paying them, they didn't ask any questions and I was confident they would be ready.

Alice and Rosalie hugged their husbands and headed off to find our transportation. The rest of us headed to Volterra.

Two hours later…

I really don't get it. Two days ago I was tossed in this cell with promises torture to come. So far, no one had arrived to make good on that promise. Frankly, I almost wish they would. I was freaking bored and sick of the dreadful anticipation.

Maybe that was their plan. Leave me down here and just when I think they must have forgotten, show up. As I was going over other possibilities, a cloaked figure came to the cell door.

"The rest are on the way, with some much unexpected help. You will be free soon." I looked at the man before me as he pushes his hood back.

"I-I don't b-believe it," I stuttered. "You're the one who started this?"
