Something hit a wall in the room to my left. Bella laughed and Alec cursed.

I bit back a smile. Caius stepped forward, out of the shadows. "Hello Edward."

"Go to hell Caius," I said coldly. "Or wherever we go." I muttered to myself. My belief in no afterlife for our kind was becoming stronger as time wore on.

Bella was the one to curse after something else hit another wall. Alec laughed darkly. "You can't win shackled to a wall!" he shouted.

I set my jaw and bit my cheek. My lips tightened. "Kill me and let her go."

"NO EDWARD!" Bella shouted from the other room. I heard Alec kick her.

"LEAVE HER ALONE!" I screamed at Alec.

He laughed again. My teeth grinded together.

Edward, you assisted your Bella in the death of Aro. Caius thought.

"NO! He didn't! I killed him alone! He just stood there!" another kick harming my Bella.

I bit my tongue, not wanting to make it worse.

"I killed him by myself." I assured him. "She had nothing to do with it."

Caius laughed. "Either way, you will listen to her drawn out suffering, until she dies, and you will stay alive, even after she is gone so that the pain in you stays," he came closer, until I could feel his warm breath on my face. "forever."

"No!"

ALICEPOV

The vision spit me back out and I sat up with a start. "Edward." I breathed.

Jasper's frown deepened.

"I'll tell you on the way to help him."

"I'll call the others."

"No, don't." I said quickly. "They'll get in the way. No offense to them, but they will. We can handle it." I smiled wickedly. "I know all of their tricks."

He smiled the same smile back.

BPOV

Alec came at me again and I kicked my foot up, hitting him hard in the chest.

He fell down and leaned against the wall across from me. I grinned. "Don't like it when I dish it back out?" I asked sweetly.

He grimaced and got back up. He was at my side in less than a second and kicked me in the side. I twisted in the chains. They were shackled to the wall, so my movement was futile as I tried to move away.

He kicked me again and again and I screamed out.

EPOV

I sucked my teeth as Bella cried out. I cringed when she screamed and rattled the shackles on my wrist when she screeched my name. I couldn't do anything.

Or could I?

Maybe I could…

I wrapped my hand around the chain connected to the wrist shackle and pulled. It didn't move. I pulled harder. The force sent cracks into the wall. I took a deep breath and yanked one more time, using everything I had. The chain that was bolted to the wall was no more. They turned to dust as I crushed my hand around them when they were pulled from the wall. I grinned as Caius's jaw dropped.

Bella screamed my name once more and then Alec said, roughly, "I'll be right back." and opened the door.

As he looked from me to the wall and back the hatch in the ceiling swung open from the outside.

"What the hell?" Alec muttered and went to investigate.

As he tilted his head back to look up, white hands flashed down and pulled him out.

He screamed and I heard a loud thump as he hit a tree.

Hey Edward. Sorry we took so long. Think you can get yourself and Bella outa there?

I grinned. "Yeah! Thanks Alice! Twenty minutes ago woulda been great too!"

She laughed her Tinkerbell laugh and continued attacking Alec.

Caius looked at me and growled.

"You're not going anywhere."

"Oh yes we are." Bella was suddenly behind him, Jasper next to her. They were grinning.

"Sorry," Bella said with a smile. "It took me a few seconds to break free. See?" she held up her hands. "Still got them on." She had silver locks around her wrist.

I laughed and tugged on my other hand. The wall gave away and I was free. I smiled and crushed the other chain.

"You two got him covered? I owe Alec a few shots."

"Yeah. We got it." I grinned menacingly and she jumped out the hatch.

"Okay." I said, turning to Caius. "You are so dead."

BPOV

Alice and Alec were flying around the circle of trees and brush. Alice got a few thumps, punches and kicks in here and there and Alec was unable to touch her. She was so dainty even when fighting.

You can help Bella, but I wanta cut the rest of this family tree down myself.

I nodded, knowing she was looking at me.

Alec was headed towards me and stopped right in front of me with another surprised look on his face.

"Seriously? Your shocked?" I shook my head. "Shouldn't you know by now that the Cullen's are always goina win?" I sent a roundhouse kick at his head, he didn't have time to dodge it. He fell to the ground. "That's for torturing me you damn vampire." I wiped at my bloody face and smiled at Alice. "All yours."

She smiled. I went and leaned against a tree to watch.

JASPERPOV

Edward grinned and walked forward to attack Caius.

"You tortured my Bella." He said, words dripping with acidic-hate.

"She deserved it."

I took a hold of his arms and shoved my knee in his back. He groaned and crumpled, I held him up.

"Uh-uh-uh, I wouldn't insult any of us right now. You're not exactly in the right predicament to do that are you?"

He growled, but didn't answer me.

"Well, your not."

EPOV

Ten minutes later there were two fires burning in a pile of dead leaves and branches.

Bella and I ran hand in hand back to where my old house had stood when it was…alive, for lack of a better explanation.

Alice and Jasper were slightly behind us, slower than we were.

One glance at Bella told me she was still in pain and in shock from the fact that the Volturi were gone.

Bella.

My Bella.

We were together with nothing to stop us.

It felt amazing.

BPOV

When we arrived at the Cullen's land i grimaced at the pile of burnt house. I crunched my way to where Edwards piano was before he moved it to our house, so relieved that it wasnt gone. To go without Edward's beautiful music and to have him upset that it was gone would have been torture. and i can compare it to that. i had just been through it. i shivered as i remembered, and clutched at my side. i knew that at least two, maybe three, ribs were broken. i had a gash on my cheek and a small tear in my lip.

Edward squeezed my hand reassuringly as the rest of his family shifted through the scorched house.

we would get through it.

"You can all stay with us why we rebuild it." Edward said and i nodded vigorously in agree.

"thank you." Carlisle nodded and sighed as he dug out something that looked like one of the tapestries that used to hang in his office. he sighed and shook his head at the cloth figures of his old friends.

Aro.

Marcus.

and Cauis.

"Its over." Edward whispered, pulling me closer to him.

Carlisle lit a match and set it against the tapestry.

"Its all over."
