Jacob POV

"Ness, no. We should have never come in the first place!" I screamed. People glanced over at us curiously, but we ignored them.

"Jake, I need to do this. Please... for me," she pleaded, tears boiling up in her eyes. She grabbed my hand and pulled it up to her lips, kissing it gently. I moved my hand over to her cheek and wiped off her tears, only causing more to fall.

"I love you. More than anything else in the world."

She smiled and said, "I know." I pulled her in and kissed her hard on the lips. Her hands found their way into my thick hair and she deepened the kiss.

I reluctantly pulled away and choked out, "Go." She nodded, and turning swiftly on her heel, sprinted towards the Volterra castle where her parents were being held captive.

I waited until she was out of sight before whipping out my phone and dialing Rosalie's number. She picked up on the first ring. "What is it, Dog?" she whispered furiously.

"Rose, I know you and me have never gotten along, but I need your help," I said. There was a long pause and all I could hear was whispering.

"OK."

Esme POV

"Please, Aro!" I screamed. I could feel the sobs pulsing in my throat, fighting with my self control.

"Esme, it's OK," Carlisle assured me.

"Aro, we wish to be peaceful. We do not want to settle this violently, but we will if you do not release Bella and Edward," Carlisle stated.

"You and what army?" Katrina spat. The room exploded into dark cackling. Aro shushed them angrily.

"Please excuse my rude family. I'm sorry my dear friend, but we cannot accommodate you one this request. Edward and Bella are too precious to us. Of course, there is always the option of your joining us. I assure you, you and your rather gifted family are very welcome here." Jasper let a low growl escape his throat as he grasped Alice protectively around the waist.

"Jasper," I warned. He held his gaze steady on Aro.

Aro chuckled lightly. "Such a pity that you are so set on this lifestyle. I'm sorry but-"

"Aro," Jane cut in. "I'm sorry to interrupt you but there is something important I need to discuss with you." He nodded and walked out of the room.

I did not like the tension in the room. Jasper was staring down Caius, and Caius had no trouble glaring back. I grabbed Carlisle's hand and he squeezed assuringly. "It's going to be OK, my love. I promise." He pulled me into his embrace and lightly kissed me on my forehead. I lifted my head and brush my lips against his.

Aro threw the door open and came in with a devilish smile splashed across his aged face. "Well, looks like the entire family is here now. Now we can really have a party." I felt a shiver run down my spine. This kind of talk was out of character for Aro. "Everyone, you know what to do." I was immediately yanked from my husband and thrown to the hard ground. I swiftly jumped to my feet and charged the unknown vampire.

All around me were the sounds of sickening tearing and the thunderous growls. I felt a blow to my head and I tumbled to the floor. I dodged another swift blow and spun around, grabbing an arm and easily tearing it off. A strangled scream escaped the vampire and I ran in the direction of the door. A hand reached out and grabbed me by the hair, yanking me back to the ground. A shooting pain exploded from my leg as I felt a large piece of it torn off of my body.

Bella POV

"Edward, no!" I screeched as Aro, Jane, Caius, and Katrina tore another piece of him off. His scream pierced the room and he gazed over into my eyes, pain radiating from his eyes.

"Bella, there is not much left of him. You can still save him. The choice is yours," Aro said.

"Do-don't do it, l-love!" Edward choked out. I sobbed uncontrollably as I watched them tear off his arm and chuck it into the fire like it was only an old garment.

"What is your answer, Bella?" Aro screamed. "We don't have all eternity!" He chuckled and grabbed his head, the final warning.

"NO, PLEASE STOP! PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU!! EDWARD I LOVE YOU S-" I stopped as the sobbing enveloped me.

"I know," he said. Aro's face scrunched into rage and in one swift motion he tore Edward's beautiful head from his perfect body. Aro smiled a cruel smile as he tossed my husbands head into the fire.

"Too late, my love," he said maliciously. He slowly walked towards me, that evil grin still plastered on his face. I shrunk back in fear, wishing for it to all be over, and silently praying that Renesmee got away safely, but I guess I spoke too soon. Demetri walked through the door, dragging Nessie by her hair behind him. He threw her into my arms and she sobbed into my neck. My arm flew protectively around her and my mood switched to rage.

"Don't you DARE touch her. I swear, I will kill you all one by one," I hissed. They cackled and inched closer.

I suddenly felt myself sliding away from Ness, as if an invisible force was pulling us apart. "MOM!" Nessie screamed, tears pouring down her swollen face. "Please stop this!" She turned to Aro and pleaded, "Please sir, you've already taken my father! PLease leave us in peace!! PLEASE!!" She began sobbing uncontrollably as we were pulled farther apart.

"Katrina!" I shrieked. I stared strait into her eyes and said, "You are very powerful, but you have no idea what I am capable of." She cocked her head and grinned.

"Oh really. Why have I not witnessed this... capability before?" she said in a deathly tone. "Why did you not use this power to save your beloved husband?" A ferocious growl ripped from my chest. I felt my body shake as I tried to contain my anger. I managed to smile sweetly at her.

"I'm warning you, let my daughter go, or you will die... slowly, and extremely painfully." The room erupted in laughter. I glanced over at my sobbing baby and my rage grew stronger.

I took a long, deep breath and released it slowly, thinking of only my family. Kind, loving Esme. From the first time I met her, she had loved me like a daughter, no questions asked. She had taken care of me through a lot, and was always there to settle disputes.

Carlisle, my second father. He was the most brilliant doctor in the world. He loved so unconditionally, harming any human was out of the question. In his eyes you never sis anything wrong. Every time you fell, he was always there to help you to stand up again, and help you not to make the same mistake again.

The beautiful Rosalie. Although we have not always gotten along, I could have never asked for a better sister. Sure, she betrayed me and Edward, but I will always love her for keeping me and Nessie safe while I was pregnant.

Emmett, my huge teddy bear. Although he is not the brightest vampire in the world, he was always there to make me laugh when things got tough. He never once let us down, and he was the best big brother a girl could dream for.

Alice and Jasper had to be the best friends and siblings anyone could be so blessed as to have. Alice could always make you laugh with her over hyperness and her deep passion for shopping. And even though you didn't want to go with her on her never-ending shopping trips, you always secretly enjoyed yourself. Jasper always knows how you are feeling so he always knows the remedy to cheer you up. No problem is ever too big for him to overcome.

Edward. My love. My angel. My savior. From the very first time I saw him in that tiny High School cafeteria, I loved him. I was always meant to be Edward's. I was meant for this life that we live. Every one of my family members has been waiting for me for years. Edward may be gone, but I know in my heart I will see him again. No one who can be so beautiful and kind as he is could go to hell. He was up there somewhere, waiting for me. Just like he always has.

I glanced over at my darling daughter and smiled; she was the striking image of her father. She needed me, and truthfully, I needed her. I took another deep breath and felt the power boil inside me, growing larger and more untamed by the second.

"Well Katrina, I guess this is goodbye," I said with a sigh.

"Yep, I guess so. You ready to see that husband of yours?" she asked. I laughed out loud and threw my head back, joining in the cackling all around me. Then, the room went completely silent.

The doors burst open and my family came pouring in, lead by eight large wolves. All of them were extremely torn up, but ready for battle. Ferocious growling filled every space in the room from all species.

Katrina whipped her head around to face me, her eyes glinting with cruelty. She lifted her hand up and pointed at Nessie, never breaking eye contact with me. Then, she lifted her hand and simulated pushing down on the ground. Nessie shrieked with pain, writhing under the invisible touch. Katrina pushed down harder, and Nessie's screams became more strangled. I tried to run to her, but I was held down in my place.

A wolf flashed across my vision and tackled Katrina to the ground, tearing at everything it could. The invisible force was lifted off of me and I ran to Nessie. "Baby, are you OK?" She coughed and nodded, latching onto me and sobbing hysterically. I looked around to find the room in chaos, limbs and screams being thrown across the room. Nessie looked over at Katrina and flew from my arms.

"JAKE, NO!!" she screamed. She jumped on top of them and yanked them apart. Katrina easily knocked her into the wall and resumed manipulating her shield into strangling poor Jacob. The power I had been saving boiled up again. I focused my mind completely on the ones I loved in the room and released every once of power inside me. The floor beneath me shook and vampires all over the room fell to the ground.

The darkness was pulling me deeper and deeper into sleep. I wanted so bad to see my family, but I was so exhausted. "It's OK, love. Just let go." I felt myself smile as I sank further into the abyss and into my angels arms.
