I'm so sorry I have not updated this story for a long time...

Bella's POV

"Arise my dear," a pale figure sighed.

My eyes fluttered open to find a willowy figure gazing down at me, "W-what? W-who are you?" he smiled, his eyes were too milky to be reassuring.

"I am Aro, one of the fathers of the Voultri."

I froze, suddenly knowing what my situation was and what I was in danger of.

The Voultri had kidnapped me for my ability.

And yet, I could feel not fear for the situation I was in, just worry-- Edward.

And everyone else, how had they'd been able to defend themselves against the three that had come and attack our house, were they all right? Was anyone hurt?

I was pulled from my train of thought when a horrible voice sneered, "Hello Bella."

"Hello Audrey. Looking ugly as ever, superiority has certainly not helped."

"Humph! Don't be jealous!"

"Of what? Your pig-headedness?" She hissed, taking a step forward ready to spring on me, Aro touched her shoulder, she shuddered, ha, it seems I wasn't the only one afraid of the ancient leader's touch.

"Thank you," he sighed, "You will not disturb our honored guest any longer, you are dismissed."

She threw one glare at me and stalked out of the room.

Phew-- one obstacle of the way.

Alice's POV

No! No! NO!

Not Bella!!

How could I, I mean we, have worked so hard to get her back, then have torn away again??

Edward was furious, he nearly charged after the three after he had recovered, but blind fury wouldn't be enough to defeat them. Carlisle, er, I mean Sophia had forced him to stay back.

"Calm Edward! Don't kill yourself know and not ablt to save her later!" Jasper hissed as he calmed him down.

"Where could they have taken her--" Emmett suddenly realized that he had just asked one of the most retarded questions of the century, "Right Italy." he mumbled.

"Why?--" again another stupid question from Derek, "Oh yeah, powers."

"Audrey must have told them about her," Esme chocked out, "About her abilities to be a 'shield'."

"I'm gonna kill her," Sophia growled, "Let her heal, then kill her again."

"That idiot!" I screeched, "They're going to end up using her anyway! Why couldn't she just leave us alone!?"

"Revenge," Edward whispered, the love of his life was gone-- once again.

"The problem is how are we going to get her back?" Carlisle said, already reviewing the possibilities of getting her back.

Derek huffed, "Wait, wait, aren't the Voultri peaceful-ish? I thought they let their guard choose to join them or something..."

"They must have wanted her bad... " shrugged Rosalie.

"I--" I started. And then I was pulled into another inconvenient vision, but as inconvenient as it was, it held the utmost importance:

"Bella dear, would you like to join the most powerful coven in the world?" Aro smiled.

Bella hesitated, "I don't think--"

"Of course if you were to refuse, we would probably have to do something about your, family..."Aro quickly interrupted.

Bella glared, fury had suddenly shone in her eyes,"And what have they done?" her voice hard as steel.

"Bella my dear, do you know so little about the Cullen clan that you have joined? They are indeed peaceful on the outside, but on the inside, they hold every bit of blood lust as a newborn vampire."

"What do you mean?"

"Animal blood can sustain them from hunting humans, but cannot help them completely avoid the temptation of human blood."

"And?" Bella's eyebrows raised.

"I believe you know Jasper?" he grinned.

"Jasper," I whispered, everyone turned to look at me, "They're going to blackmail her using Jasper's story a long time ago!!" My voice rose I few octaves by the end of the sentence.

Sophia gasped in horror.

Derek stiffened.

Emmett froze.

Carlisle closed his eyes remembering the terrible event.

Esme looked down at the floor.

Rosalie hissed.

Jasper however was the worst, his faced did nothing to hide the shame that was plastered on it, his knuckles were white from the tight fist he had curled. His body was hard and ridged, he then unclenched one hand to rub his largest scar of all-- the one on his forehead, right about the right eyebrow--pain was etched in his eyes.

It was a painful memory for all of us-- too painful.

And the Voultri was going to use as a tool.

I decided to update this story for all my patient readers-- I'm sorry!!
