The protective arms became restraining arms as I realized I was being held on the wrong side of the conflict. I struggled to break free, but the arms wound around me tighter. I twisted, trying to see who was holding me, but I couldn't turn in the iron grasp of their arms. A low hiss sounded from somewhere above my ear.

"BELLA!" Chills ran down my spine when I heard Edward shout my name. I have only heard that tone in his voice when my life was in danger.

Through the gloom, I could make out more figures standing with Edward. As they moved slightly closer, I could see Carlisle, Esme, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and Edward.

Demeri was speaking, but I couldn't understand over the roar of the storm. Debris whipped by my face and smashed into the cars, but no one moved. Vampires wouldn't kill me tonight. They would stand here debating while a mile-wide tornado roared over, leaving them unscathed and obliterating me.

Something just didn't seem right with the Cullens. Carlisle's face was filled with abject sorrow and Esme was quietly sobbing. Edward's rage-filled face was beyond recognition as he furiously glared at whoever was restraining me. Emmett just stared.

I could see cloaked figures ranged in a staggered line past Demetri. Volturi reinforcements. They must have arrived at the time as the rest of the Cullens. One of them must be holding me hostage.

Edward edged closer, disregarding whatever Demetri was saying to Carlisle. I couldn't hear him over the raging wind, but I could read his lips. His eyes were focused somewhere over my head.

"I'll kill you. I don't care who stands in my way. I will find you and I will burn you alive."

It felt like ice-cold water had been dumped on my head. This was a new Edward, a violent being I had only ever seen hinted at behind his elaborate façade of humanity. I finally, really, saw him as a vampire.

In his demon's eyes, I saw fury, loathing, contempt, and betrayal. In that moment, I knew who was restraining me on the wrong side of the fight.

Rosalie.

She took a deep breath. "This is what must be done to keep our family together."

I could see Emmett through the swirling debris, his eyes focused on Rose, the pain and betrayal evident on his face.

So, she would sell me to the Volturi to keep her family complete.

Carlisle stepped forward. "Rose, please. Please bring Bella back to us. You are destroying Edward and you will destroy this family by letting Bella die. We love her, Rose. As we love you."

"No! She is not part of this family! I will not let one of us become Aro's mindless henchman to save her life. Edward left her, he won't turn her immortal, therefore he must not really love her, or her would want to keep her. So really, how important is her life? Let her die and keep Edward from becoming a murderer ten times over what he already is. One life for hundreds."

Carlisle looked desperately back at Rosalie and I felt her whole body lock down against his censure.

"You are making a mistake that will rip this family apart. I love you as a daughter Rosalie, but I will not hesitate to save Bella from your misguided plan."

"This is the right thing, Carlisle. I can see it."

"You are blinded by your jealousy and hate! Think about what Bella death will do to Edward and the rest of this family. Think about Emmett! Have you considered what your decision has done to him, and will do when Bella is dead, at your hands? He loves her as a sister, Rose."

"Time heals all wounds of the immortal, he will move on."

Rosalie began pulling me backward, away from Edward, away from safety. Demetri stepped in front of us, speaking to Edward.

"I will not make you choose now, Edward. You have three days to decide. We will return to Volterra with Bella. If you wish for her to live, you will arrive there permanently before three days are out. If you do not come, we will know your answer and I will finally get to enjoy Bella fully."

The Volturi reinforcements closed around me and Rosalie drug me away, toward the borrowed Tahoe. I looked back to see Edward being restrained by Carlisle, Jasper, Esme, and Alice. He struggled fiercely to escape their arms. Emmett stood there motionless, staring after Rosalie, his body rigid with anguish.

He moaned, "Rose, please. Don't do this."

As I was herded into the back of the Tahoe, I turned once more against the iron grip of my betrayer, I met Edward's eyes, so full of fury and fear.

"Bella!" He screamed. "Let me go! Let me save her!" His voice ripped through three octaves.

"BELLA!"
