Jasper's POV

"I'm surprised you didn't recognise me straight away Whitlock, all those memories… I should feel offended," She cackled, running her manicured nails through her thick hair.

"I'm glad your offended, that may not be very respectful but I've no time for you anymore, what are you doing here? I would have thought you would be terrorising some poor village, you were never the most popular with the Volturi, what trick are you playing?" I replied, standing straight and showing no emotion in my voice, as if she was a virus, which she was.

"Trick! Don't make me laugh! If you think I'm here on my own free will your surely mistaken, I would never walk the path of righteousness, you should know that from the old days, Major…." She smirked as the memories came flooding back, all the blood….the screams….the thrill of a fight….the rewards of victory on your tongue….terror….pain…. Death.

My knees gave way as it sunk in, sending me crashing to the ground as my families growls echoed in the trees around me. Alice's arms were around me in seconds as I bowed my head, ashamed, of what I was, and who I was, what I'd done to so many…

Alice's POV

I had my arms wrapped around Jazz protectively as Serena clung like a monkey around my neck, resting her tiny body on my back. I looked up, staring daggers at the woman who had the nerves to try and break my husband, she was going to pay.

"Get on with it Aro! Do what you have come here to do and nothing else!" Carlisle spoke sharply, worry for his son thick in his voice. Jasper's hands were locked within his hair, his palms glued to his temple and his face creased with pain.

"Of course Carlisle, anything for you," Aro spoke quietly, resting his hand on Maria's shoulder, urging her backwards, away from us. "Maria, go stand back with Jane. Now." She turned sharply on her heels, tearing up grass with her shoes as she left.

"Now Alice, as you know, you have no proof that she isn't immortal…"

Of course in my family there was uproar, growls and shouts danced around like dangerous music, they were eager to get close to Aro and prove she was half human but none would dare break the barrier, except maybe Emmett but Rosalie kept him in place.

"Aro! You know she is exactly like me! Blood beats through her veins and her heart beats! You only need to touch one of our hands in order to witness her ageing these weeks! Don't make this longer than it has to be!" Renesmee snarled, her arms crossed, obviously angry at Aro's words and decisions.

"Silence!" Felix practically roared, his eyes glistening a bloody red. They snarled angrily at each other until Aro raised his hand in a bid for silence.

"That may be true Renesmee dear, but even you know the consequences, the Volturi does not offer second chances,"

"Aro I suggest you leave now, before we transport your butt back to Volterra, we've not broken any rules and this situation is exactly the same as last time you were here years ago, nothings changed. Just. Leave. Now." Emmett threatened, his eyes blazing at him, but Aro took no offence and actually smiled. What kind of sick game was he playing here?

"In due time dear boy… now Alice, have you and Edward thought anymore about our little offer? We would be thrilled to have you join us, even Jasper and Bella can come too, after he's done with his fit that is." He laughed, that was the last straw, I looked down at Jazz, he looked defeated as he trembled and scrunched his face over and over again, surely due to the terrible memories he was replaying in his mind. I swear at Aro's speech I saw Maria smirk with smugness as he mentioned Jasper. She was going to take him...that was her plan… but she's not going to hurt him...ever again.

Edward must have heard my thoughts as his head snapped up and looked deep in concentration at Maria, probably trying to read her thoughts. Stupid me, she must have put up a barrier so Edward couldn't read her.

I watched as Jasper put his head between his knees as he started to pull at his hair, muffling his screams as he rocked back and forth, she was tearing him apart bit by bit…

She was going to pay… Big time.
