A/N: Oops forgot disclaimer in last chapter. I do not own Twilight or the characters. I want to say this little fic sort of came out when I was trying to do the next chapter to my other story. I will update that soon since I have the outline for the next chapter done sort of just not organized.

Edward and Alice were placed into the dungeon below Volterra castle. They were thrown into the same cell by the guards. Edward started pacing the cell pulling at his hair. "Why do I listen to you Alice? Hell I should of never broke things off with her. We fucked up and guess what you are going down with me." He grabbed her by the neck and then flung her against the wall. "Did you see us here being caged or the fact that Carlisle is Isabella's and Caius's son, did you know that Jasper wasn't your mate or that Bella's wasn't mine? For fuck sake's Alice answer me!" I roared and she actually looked scared.

"Fine want to know the truth. Yes I knew about Jasper and Bella not being our mates. Carlisle I did not know about I swear that. What do you want me to do Edward? Hell if only I knew this would have happened we would not be in this position. My power is gone so it is not helping any and seriously I think we are in a world of trouble once Carlisle and rest get here for our trial." She sat on the floor and wrapped her arms around her legs. Edward was still glaring at her.

"The only vision I saw before we ended up in the throne room was us walking out of here with Bella. She was to be turned after graduation. Fuck I did not know she was already one of us. I never looked into the Volturi matters since we lived a peaceful life. Carlisle had to of known along with the rest of the family to alert them of what we did." By the look in her eyes Edward knew she was telling him the truth.

"I had been with Carlisle for over a century and never heard his thoughts about anything on Volturi matters either. We need a plan to get out of here alive. Though I did wonder where Carlisle and Esme use to go to once a year on their vacation." He went and sat down on the floor across from Alice. "Think Alice we come clean and probably end up serving on the guard or we die your choice."

"I rather die than serve but coming clean might gain us freedom. We will just lose the people we love. I could live with that." They heard footsteps coming closer to them.

"Well, well, well if you two try to manipulate any of us it will be death. I am saving your lives so you can be tried in front of the council. I am also doing this out of respect for my son. He loved both of you like children until you two fucked it up with your games. Edward you might be guilty but not enough to warrant death. Alice let's just say you have a history about playing games with humans. I hope you remember James and Victoria they will be joining us. He was never killed in that studio you killed an innocent newborn that was under the disguise of James, thanks to my powers. If you plan anything stupid remember I do know and will always know."

"Bitch how do you know about me and why is Edward here when I am the one who committed more crimes than him?" Little pixie bitch got up to try to reach through the doors to me.

"Funny story Alice you do not cover your tracks well. Hell I even found your scent around a few times over the past 3 centuries so tell me this how old are you really?" Edward looked shocked and pixie bitch was fuming. "We are not going to get anywhere guards take Edward to my quarters and stand watch until I get there." They came and took Edward out while I had Alice in a bubble. "Alice you can try to weasel your way out of this not going to happen. Separating you and Edward will fare better in the end." I let go of her bubble after the cell was locked up again. "If you know what is good for you Alice I would not lie I can tell. See you in a few days. Oh and enjoy." I tossed her a bottle filled with some blood from a human.

Once we got out of the dungeon. I made sure Edward was still with me and my guards. "Demetri and Felix let him go. If you run Edward it will make it worse." They let him go and he continued following me to my office. "You two stay outside the door me and Mr. Cullen are going to talk for a while." I lead him into my office and then shut the door. "Sit Edward I do not want you pacing this floor. I am going to tell you one thing and one thing only I want the whole truth. Alice got you into this mess about 25 years ago and I wonder if she has more than just visions to manipulate someone. I am going to call Chelsea in and she is going to break your bond to Alice to see if that helps. Are you going to be okay with this?"

"Of course Bella but why are you being nice to me? After everything we did." He looked so lost.

"I did it because Alice has done this before. We killed others like you who tried to get killed because of a human lover. The last one was recently when Aro read his mind he saw Alice in the vision. Alice was two timing your family because this just happened about a year ago. Do you ever wonder where she runs off when she goes shopping or so called shopping?"

"O god no wonder she used to block her thoughts from me if she wanted to take off for a weekend or a week to shop elsewhere. Does Chelsea break all bonds or just certain bonds between people? I rather not lose all the bonds I have just Alice's."

"Yes she only breaks one bond at a time it is painless and she is with Alice now looking through her bonds to find yours. I am also doing this because you were my son's first sire and in right makes you my grandson. I feel old now." I giggled and he chuckled. "One thing first though she is going to manipulate our bond from love to friends. I rather us remain friends after this. I know you still love the human me but rather not piss off Caius."

"I understand and in truth I think it should be this way grandma." He chuckled again and I gave a warning glance.

"Alright laugh it up." I heard a knock on the door. "Come in Chelsea. Are you ready Edward?" He nodded his head. "Chels you need to break Alice's bond and make my bond to him a friendship one."

"Sure no problem and little miss Alice's bonds are so twisted like she has complete control over those she bonded with. We might have to sever all bonds to your son's family. Jasper's bond to her is unraveling now since he is getting closer and feeling the mating pull." I was shocked at the admission. "Eleazar is coming with his family too to see what her true powers are. Aro called in a favor and Carlisle did the same." She looked at Edward. "Hey Edward how do you feel now?"

"Fine but why in the hell am I in Volterra?" I looked at Chelsea and then at Edward he looked a little lost. "I remember nothing beforehand except for us going to dinner at La Bella Italia. Everything after is a bit fuzzy." Holy shit that was nearly a year ago.

"Edward what is the date? Just answer me that."

"March 23, 2010 why?" I could see the conflict going on in his eyes.

"Edward it is May 22, 2011. I think Alice needs to be questioned further. Edward have you had time losses over the past?"

"Yes but usually a day or so when Alice was gone. I would just think that it was me getting loss in either hunting or listening to music."

"Fucking Christ. Chelsea sends for my son and gets the brothers in here. Things are going to get ugly with Alice." She took off like a bat out of hell. A knock came quickly after. "Son good to see you." I went over to hug him.

"Mother father and uncles will be here soon."

"We will wait. Edward just stay quiet for now I know you have a lot of questions."

"Mom what happened to him? He looks lost and confused like he just woke up from a bad dream." Now the brothers show up.

"Long story short Edward here was brainwashed by Alice and has been for the past 25 years. He still thinks it is March of last year when we first went to dinner. Eleazar shall know more of Alice's powers once he arrives. Anybody have a theory because I have to no damn clue." I slumped down on my chair.

We all looked at each other in silence thinking of what happened to poor Edward. Okay maybe I was a bit harsh about calling him names. The damn pixie is messing with my family and I think the only thing that can be the reason is the Romanians. They have been too quiet since the brothers took over the vampire kingdom. Alice is probable one of their pawns.

"One question to all of you do you thinks Alice is involved with the Romanians? It just seems odd she pulls this now knowing getting Edward here killed would be a sense of going back to her masters so they can attack us. We took everything from her including her cell phone and I even snatched the one she had in the car when she was not looking. Maybe just maybe there are things in them that can help us." I stood up and looked at shocked faces around the room.

"Isabella love I think you might be onto something. Let's wait to see what Eleazar says about her powers later and we all retire to our chambers. Felix brings Edward to the guest quarters along with the rest of the Cullen's. Son you still have your chambers here go grab Esme and enjoy the time alone for a few hours. Aro and Marcus we will discuss more lately. Everyone is to meet back in the throne room in about 8 hours." Everyone was saying yes and started to leave the room.

"One last thing I want a guard at each of our chambers we are not taking chances here. We protect our family and others." I told everyone and grabbed Caius hand and headed to our chambers to unwind for a while.

Song for this Chapter

The Outsider by A Perfect Circle

Help me if you can

It's just that this, this is not the way I'm wired

So could you please?

Help me understand why

You've given in to all these

Reckless dark desires

You're lying to yourself again

Suicidal imbecile

Think about it, you're pounding on the fault line

What'll it take to get it through to you precious?

I'm over this. Why do you wanna throw it away like this?

Such a mess. Why would I want to watch you.

Disconnect and self-destruct one bullet at a time

What's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die

Medicated, drama queen, picture perfect, numb belligerence

Narcissistic, drama queen, craving fame and all its decadence

Lying through your teeth again

Suicidal imbecile
