Okay, okay, I know that it has been forever since I updated. RL got in the way big time this time around. Then I got sick and it took me a while to recuperate. I'm hoping that this chapter makes up for the long wait. If you are reading A Forbidden Love, I am working on the next chapter now and I will update that story soon.

Thanks to my beta Cullen818 for beta'ing this chapter for me. She is amazing.

I own nothing.

I shut my phone and shoved it in my pocket. I ran to the airport and got on the first plane to Italy. I couldn't believe I was actually going to Volterra. I didn't see how any good could come of this. If Alice didn't make this trip worth my while, I would rip her fucking arms off and hide them or maybe her head.

I sat in my seat quietly waiting for the plane to finish boarding so we could take off. Once it was boarded and the announcements were made it was finally time for takeoff. I was glad, the sooner the flight began, the sooner the flight would end. I was finding it difficult to be on the plane with all these humans.

I closed my eyes and gripped the armrests with as much force as I could without snapping them. I stopped breathing and held perfectly still, humans would mistake me for sleeping, but at least they would remain safe; for now. When I got to Italy, I would have to hunt.

The burn in my throat was becoming unbearable. Finally, after what felt like days the plane began to descend, announcing our arrival. As soon as the doors opened, I dashed off the plane as quickly as I could without drawing too much attention.

I walked into the terminal and found Alice waiting for me, but what shocked me was Garrett was with her. What the fuck was he doing here? I stopped a few feet from them and kept looking between the two, waiting for one of them to say something.

When neither of them spoke, I searched their minds. Alice was blocking her thoughts from me, which pissed me off to no fucking end. She knew I hated that shit, but she did it all the fucking time. Garrett kept thinking about Alice's plan, wondering if it was going to work.

I peered further into his mind trying to see what Alice's plan was, but he wouldn't think of the actual plan. I had enough of this deafening silence so I turned to Alice and glared at her.

"What the fuck plan do you have going on in that head of yours? And why are you blocking your thoughts from me?" I asked.

"Edward, stay out of mine and Garrett's head. Here is not the place to talk. We have a hotel room; let's go there and then I will explain everything. Don't worry that pretty little head of yours, my plan will work." She spoke softly.

"So, you've seen the outcome of your plan?" I pushed.

She smiled, but didn't respond. She simply grabbed Garrett's hand and began walking towards the door. They continued to walk until they reached a blue convertible. Alice walked around to the driver's side and climbed in. She started the engine and Garrett and I climbed in as well; he in the front while I was in the back.

She revved the engine and took off lightening fast towards the hotel. We made it to their room in less than ten minutes. She parked the car and we exited the vehicle and made our way to the hotel entrance. We walked to the elevators and entered. The doors closed and it took us up to the top floor, the penthouse. I should have known.

I was becoming impatient and if I didn't get answers soon, I was going to start meddling in their heads to find out what I wanted to know. I began pacing trying to wait for Alice to tell me what she called me to Italy for, but all she did was stared at me. Garrett was sitting on the sofa calmly watching the two of us, but I could tell from the look on his face that whatever she did he was unsure of the outcome.

I finally had enough, "Alice, I have been waiting for you to tell me what you have planned, but you have yet to say anything other than stay out of your head. What the fuck did you call me here for?" I asked.

She took a deep, unnecessary breath, "Edward, you have to promise that you will listen to me before you say anything." she spoke in a low voice.

I narrowed my eyes, "Just fucking tell me and quit avoiding the inevitable." I growled out.

She sat next to Garrett and he wrapped his arms around her protectively. I had a feeling that what she had planned, I wasn't going to like, at all.

She looked me in the eyes, but I was not ready to hear the words that came out of her mouth. "My plan is to lie to Aro about what Esme said to him. I have to make him believe that everything she said was all a lie. I need your help to manipulate him into believing me."

"How can you even think you will pull this off? Aro will see right through you and then he will have you killed because you lied to him. I will not be a part of your plan. I'm going home and retrieving my Bella."

I turned to walk towards the door. Please Edward, I need your help. She spoke in her thoughts. I turned back to face her and shook my head, "It will never work and I will not let you take me down with you. Good luck, but you are on your own."

"Edward, I think it will work. If we both think of certain things when he touches us then it could work to our advantage." She said.

"Aro's power doesn't work like mine. He can see all the thoughts that you ever had by simply touching you. It will never work." I spoke through clenched teeth. She was starting to piss me off.

"I am telling you that this will work and I will prove it to you. Garrett knows of a vampire that can manipulate anyone in to believing or doing anything that he wants and he has agreed to help us."

I was shocked and it took me a moment to collect my thoughts, "Who is this vampire?" I asked.

"His name is Kyle and I met him a few weeks before Alice and I got together. He should be here shortly." Garrett said.

"Fine, I'll stay and meet him and then I will decide whether or not I will be involved in your plan Alice."

I walked to the chair and sat down, waiting for this vampire to get here. I turned to Garrett, "Is he coming alone or will he have company?" I wanted to be prepared for anything that could happen when Kyle got here.

"He is a nomadic vampire, he will be traveling alone. You have nothing to worry about, he isn't coming to cause any kind of trouble, he is only coming to help. He is originally from Greece, but he roamed the countries for years before he finally came to the U.S." Garrett said with a small smile.

I nodded my head and closed my eyes. I could see Garrett and Kyle meeting for the first time and when Alice finally met him. Then I was shown the meeting where the nomad was asked for his help.

I opened my eyes and turned to look out the window. Alice got up and walked to where she was standing right in front of me. She sat on the arm of the chair and looked at me.

"Edward if I didn't believe this would work, I wouldn't have called you here. I would have warned you so you could hide and I would be in hiding as well. Don't you realize that if this wasn't to work, we would both end up dead. Esme told Aro everything, I had the vision. Would you like to see?" she asked.

I nodded and immediately my head was filled with her vision of Esme going to Aro, of him believing her, of Felix and my former mother falling in love, of Demetri's outburst toward Esme, and of his chastisement.

The next vision that she showed me was of Demetri, Jane, Alec, and some of the other guard coming after the both of us. First, they caught up with me and ripped me to pieces and started the pyre before I could say two words, then they got Garrett for being Alice's mate, and finally she saw her own demise.

She showed me the vision of Aro, Marcus, and Caius believing our made up thoughts, of us leaving Volterra alive, well as alive as vampires can be, and of her and Garrett's future. A future of them getting married and traveling.

"Edward, I've seen your future, although it is hazy. Would you like to see?" She had this evil glint in her eyes and I couldn't help but smirk at her.

"Show me." I said.

I saw me pounding into Bella's tight pussy, her moaning my name. Then I saw me turning her, her riding me, and then I was shown a vision that had me adjusting myself. I was fucking Bella in her ass and she was still human. I couldn't stop the groan that slipped out of my tightly closed lips.

"That last vision that I showed you happens soon, Edward. Don't you want to fuck her?" I could hear her distaste for Bella in her voice, but I let that shit go for now.

"If you're lying to me about your visions, I will rip your fucking head off. Do you understand me?" I spoke menacingly.

I would fucking kill her if she was lying. She lied about other visions all the time in the past. Doing anything and everything to get what she wanted. I would not be her victim anymore. She better hope she was telling the truth.

"I swear those visions are true. I didn't make them up and I'm not lying to you. Bella will be yours and from what I can tell, she will be yours again soon."

I heard the other vampire approaching the door and I turned my head in time to watch as he walked through the door and over to Garrett. The two shook hands before he turned to Alice and smiled.

"Alice, dear. You are looking as lovely as ever." He spoke with a Greek accent.

Alice stood up and walked over to him, placing a kiss on his cheek. She smiled, "And you're looking as handsome as ever. How is that you are single?" she asked.

"Pfft, you know me, fuck 'em and leave 'em is what I say." he chuckled.

He sounds like somebody that I could get along with. He turned his attention towards me and extended his hand. I stood up and made the few steps to reach his outstretched hand. We shook, but he didn't release my hand immediately.

"You doubt me, don't you Edward? Shall I make a believer out of you?" he asked with a knowing smile.

I jerked my hand out of his grasp and glared at him. "Do you even know who you are trying to manipulate? Have you ever met the Volturi? They're not exactly someone you want to fuck with. So you'll have to forgive me if I doubt you." I snapped.

"Let me explain something to you boy. I have been around for more than six hundred years and if you think you know more about the Volturi then I do, you are clearly fucking mistaken. I've done my research and I've had many run-ins with the guard, but I'm still standing here and before you even ask, Aro doesn't know about my ability." he snapped back, clearly irritated with me.

I narrowed my eyes at him, I didn't trust him and he knew I didn't. "I don't care if you've been around as long as Aro's two thousand years, I don't trust you or your ability. The only reason I'm going along with this is because I want Alice's visions of me and my Bella to become a reality, but if you get in my way, I won't hesitate to rip you apart." I bared my teeth to get my point across.

"I think if you learned more about me, you'll see that I am of no threat to you. Shall I share my story?" Kyle asked me.

I walked back to my chair and sat down, motioning with my hand for him to go ahead and tell his story. He walked over to the sofa and sat with Garrett and Alice. I just waited for him to start telling his story.

"Okay, I was born in Greece in 1387. My parents named me Ambrose, which means immortal. I was destined to become this way. I met a vampire one fateful night after I walked home the young lady I was courting; I was going to ask for her hand in marriage.

This beautiful woman came out of nowhere and smiled a sickenly sweet smile. It terrified me. I remember that night so well; it was all I thought about during the three days that I burned. I wanted to remember the woman that had done this to me, took me away from my Amara.

I was determined to find my sire and destroy her for ruining my life. I searched for decades before I finally found her, roaming the countries, only searching for her until I saw her one night, approaching a young man that had just left his ladies home.

I was enraged that she was going to do to him what she did to me. I didn't even think, I just lunged and pinned her to the ground. I sunk my teeth into her neck before she even knew what was happening, quickly removing her head. I disposed of her body properly and ran, not looking back."

He got a far off look in his eyes and I was suddenly bombarded by his memories, flashing behind my eyelids quicker than inhumanly possible. Had I been a human, I would have missed every memory that he was showing me.

I watched as he got his revenge, saw him watch his former girl grieve for him, watched as she fell in love, saw her get married, watched as he fell apart over losing her, and I got to see all of the lives that he took.

I closed myself off to his mind because I was already thirsty and watching him take all those humans, made me even thirstier. I would have to go hunting soon. "I'm sorry," he whispered.

I turned my head to face him, "What for?" I questioned.

"You're thirsty and I'm sure all my hunting adventures didn't need to be seen and for that I'm sorry. You still don't trust me, and I can accept that, but I will do everything I can to help." he spoke truthfully.

"I don't trust you, but I don't trust Alice and Garrett either. I'm warning you though, if I see in any of the Volturi's heads that death is coming, I'm gone. I will run out of there as fast as I can and leave you all behind. Got it?" I asked firmly.

I wouldn't die because of Alice and her fucked up ways. Everything that was happening and everything that happened in the past was because of her. I lost Bella because of her and I would fucking kill anyone who got in my way of getting back what belonged to me.

"Edward, your anger should be channeled somewhere else. I know that you are holding a grudge towards Alice and so many others, but you shouldn't." Garrett spoke softly.

I turned to glare at him, "Shut the fuck up. That bitch of yours has caused a whole ripple of fucked up things to happen. She is the reason I lost my Bella. She is the reason I am fucked up and having all these dark and twisted thoughts, do all the fucked up things that I am doing.

She manipulates her visions to get what she wants. I'll make good on my threat too if she's lying about that vision of me with Bella. I'll fucking kill her and you too if you get in my way. Don't fuck with me. You think she gets what she wants through manipulation, well I take what I want and if death is the way to get it, then so be it."

He didn't say anything, only stared at me. Calculating, maybe? I didn't fucking care. I was tired of waiting to get her back. It was time I took back what belonged to me, and I would have her in my arms soon.

I would fucking kill anyone who got in my way of getting my Bella back. Watch out Jasper and Carlisle, I'm coming for her.

Okay so I want to take this time to say thank you to TwiCarol for giving me the name for Kyle. I was talking to her and she told me about a friend of hers whose middle name is Jay Barrett, how funny would that have been to name Kyle that? Have Garrett and Barrett…LOL. Anyway she told me about a friend of hers named Kyle, so that is how I got the name. Thank you sweetie.
