Bella's point of view
I sat alone in the study that night and kept my thoughts to myself. I wouldn't allow anyone to interrupt my thoughts. The only thing that kept playing through my mind was Edward and everything that he had said to me, and everything that we had done together. I missed him so much and now I was thinking to myself at how stupid I really was for coming back here. I could have stayed there in Washington for as long as I possibly wanted to and told Aro that I was simply gathering information, but whenever he would come to hug me then he would know. I cursed to myself, why had I let my emotions for this one vampire go this far, and it wasn't just for him, it was his family to. Even though they were quirky and odd and didn't seem normal at times, they were just as sweet as Edward and I hadn't really had enough time to bond with them because I was busy spending my time with Edward.
I wanted to cry so bad, I probably was, but there were no tears coming from my eyes. I knew that showing emotion was not normally allowed and if Aro saw me in this state, well I don't know what he would do to me.
For some reason, I knew that I needed Aro. I needed him to stay alive, to keep myself sane. He was my creator. The one who made me who am and if I strayed away from him, it was like I was losing a part of myself.
A soft knock on the door broke me from my train of thought. I instantly stood from my sitting position and allowed whoever was on the other side of the door to come in. Aro walked through that door and I felt my body run cold for there was an odd and sad glint in his eye.
"Aro, I apologize for keeping to myself, I just needed some time to be alone," I was trying to be a nice as possible for him. I could tell that he wouldn't be able to handle much more of me if I did anything else that would ruin this coven.
"Don't be my child, Myself and the other two brothers would like to have a word with you, whenever you are ready," He said softly. I didn't move when I was given this information. They wanted to have a talk with me, that was never a good sign.
"Yes Aro, and when would you like me?" I asked him trying not to show my fear, but my eyes betrayed me for a small smile played at his lips.
"Within the next fifteen minutes I assume, be ready," He turned ready to depart, when he stopped in mid turn and spoke. " And don't think that you can run away from us Isabella. We are always watching," He strode away closing the door behind him.
I gasped in air and covered my mouth. This wasn't going to end well. I was doomed, they were going to kill me. I didn't know how this death was going to end, but I knew it wasn't going to be good. I started pacing the room, there must have been something that I could do to protect myself. Then I went cold again.
They were going to use one of the guards against me, the ones that I thought were my friends. Jane was probably going to be the one to take me down, she hated me and probably would have loved to kill me a long time ago. This was going to be her big chance to do so.
I went back in the corner for I was not ready for my death. I went and sat alone and cried some more, no tears like usual and I begged in my head that some way, some how, Edward would come an rescue me. Scoop me up in his arms and whisk me away to his home to keep me there forever as his wife. That lightened my spirits a little bit, yes that's what I wanted. I wanted Edward to be mine forever, he would have no trouble doing that. I didn't think.
Edward's Point of View
"Dude Edward, would you calm down," Emmett placed his hand on my shoulder. I stayed silent in my seat and I could feel how tense I really was.
I looked over at my other brother and saw how my emotions were affecting him.
"Sorry Jasper, I don't mean to be like this, it's just I don't know what I'm going to do to get Bella out of there, I mean this is the Volturi that we are dealing with you know," Emmett sighed and folded his arms behind his head completely relaxed. I glared at him, he didn't seemed to ever be worried about anything.
"Well I don't think that this should be to difficult, I mean we just walk in and get her out, there you have it," Emmett was saying it like the Volturi were blind.
"Emmett, it's not going to be as easy as you think. Edward is right they are the Volturi and they are pretty heavily guarded and if Bella means a lot to Aro, well then she's going to be heavily guarded as well, we are going to have to think of some kind of plan on finding Bella," Jasper put in.
I thought things through. Jasper was right about that, Bella was very important to Aro and he would do whatever to keep her safe.
"We need to think of some kind of plan to get Aro, Marcus, and Caius distracted, I mean Bella might be locked up somewhere, there is no doubt that Aro knows about me, I know that Bella was starting to get attached and that wasn't good, Aro didn't want that,"
I thought some more. Would Aro kill her if he realized that she was getting to attached to me and my family. That thought bothered me.
I was impatient as I sat in the plane. If there wasn't water between America and Italy, I would have run to Bella.
Bella's Point of View
I tried to think of something to do Aro, would be here any moment to come and get me and tell me of all the wrong that I had done, then he would sentence me to death. I gulped at the thought. I wouldn't see Edward or his family ever again. They would be devastated, that was if they even found out. Maybe I would be better off dead. It probably would. If I had never went to America, everything would be fine. Death was probably the best route for me now.
Edward's Point of View
We landed and got out of the plane and got a car and we were off to where the Volturi were hidden beneath the ground.
"Edward, what's your plan because I don't think Alice would be very happy if I didn't come home. Neither would the rest of the family if we all ended up dead," Emmett pushed the gas as Jasper spoke from the back seat.
I placed my hand on my temples. I was trying to think of what to do.
"Jasper do you think you could find Bella with her feelings?" I asked. That was kind of difficult for Jasper to do, but with me knowing Bella, her emotions would be different than the rest of them.
"I could try, but there are a lot of Volturi in there, and if we interrupt on something it could be likely that they will kill us Edward, and I'm saying this is Jane is there, you know her powers better than anyone else," Jasper explained.
"I don't know what you two are worrying about, I mean if we talk to them about joining, I'm sure they will be willing to listen and I can go get Bella out of wherever she is while you two discuss things. That would probably work," I replayed what Emmett had just said to me in my mind.
That might just work. Aro and his two other brothers would love to have two more people added to his coven. If we talked things over, maybe then Emmett would have enough time to get Bella out of there safely and then we could just tell them that we weren't very interested and that we would just think things over. That might just work. I thought to myself and smiled. I hopped that it would.
"Okay, you know what I think that might work. Jasper once you find Bella's location from where her emotions are coming from, inform Emmett and then we step into the main room and we start talking to Aro and his brothers about his interests in us. Emmett can grab Bella and get her out of there and then we reject like I said, that just might work," I said mostly to myself, but the other's were listening in.
"Okay, well that sounds like it will work, let's just hope that Bella isn't dead by the time we get in there," I knew that Emmett was kind of joking, but he was right, I hoped that Aro hadn't decided to kill Bella before we got there.
Bella's Point of View
There was a knock on the door and my body froze. No doubt that it was Aro coming for me now. He didn't wait for a response.
"Isabella, we are ready for you now," Aro smiled and held his hand out. This meant that I was supposed to take it and walk out with him in front of a lot of people and tell them what happened, even though I wasn't positive as to what was going to happen.
I stood and walked over to Aro and took his hand as he led me out of the room.
"Isabella do you know what we are going to talk about?" He asked softly as we were walking at human speed through the halls.
"No father, I do not know what we are going to talk about, are you going to kill me?" This was something that I normally would ask because Aro would find it rude and probably strike me, but this time was different. He stopped and let go of my hand.
He looked deep into my eyes. Then I realized that he had been holding onto my hand and read more in depth of my thoughts.
"You know Bella, you should really tell me what your feelings, it's not good to keep those in," He spoke softly. I didn't like his tone, so I said something that didn't make me sound like a babbling idiot.
"I don't understand what you mean Aro?" I asked him.
There was the strike that I was looking for. My face stung and he cupped my throat with his hand.
"You love him don't you?" He asked and I knew who he was talking about. "Do not look away from me Isabella, or I will kill you right here without giving you a trial," So that's what this talk was. A trial to see weather I was going to be allowed to live or die.
Death was probably going to end up my result because of what I had done.
Also, Aro could sway anyone if he really wanted to.
I couldn't keep him waiting or he would kill me. "Yes," I whispered. If only Edward were here to hear those words. I wanted to tell him that I loved him, with all of my being and that I wanted to be with him forever. Sadly he wasn't.
Aro just stared at me with his piercing blood red eyes.
" I'm sorry Isabella," he let me down onto the floor as he continued "I really do love you and care about you, it's to bad you had to go and break the rules," He grabbed onto my wrist and pulled me to the main room where Jane, Alec, Marcus, Demetri, Felix and Caius were brought together. I shuddered. I didn't know if I could be put through this. What was Aro going to do. Was he going to tear me to pieces and burn my flesh, yeah probably, for that was the only way to kill a vampire.
Edward's Point of View
We stood on the outside of the entrance to the Volturi's domain.
"Do you sense Bella?" I asked Jasper?" He was focusing right now on Bella I was pretty sure.
"Well I'm pretty sure I know where Bella is, I can feel fear and the rest of them are calm, I think they are going to do something to Bella," I thought hard and listened to the voices that were underground.
"Poor Isabella, she seemed to have a lot of promise to her oh well, there is nothing that can be done now," That sounded like Caius.
Then I heard another voice thinking to themselves " I can't wait to watch her burn, she deserves it for breaking the rules. It's about time, Aro needs to find a new favorite," Jane I supposed, but this didn't make me feel any better. They were going to kill Isabella, my Bella and it was going to take place shortly, I could tell.
"We have to get in there and fast, before we are to late," I spoke up ready for anything.
