Recap-

"Aro, Jasper, came out of his own free will, he fell in love with Alice and he chooses this life style, we don't force it on anyone," Carlisle said calmly.

This just seemed to make Aro angrier and Bella screamed louder and then the line went dead.

Chapter 34: Death becomes us

(Jasper POV)

"Carlisle let me talk to him. He has to understand that I would do anything for my wife, as would he. Sure, he's my father; he found me and my mother when I was young. He wanted her so he took her and made her a vampire. I watched as a little boy, my mother feeding on humans and I thought that was the way things were supposed to be. They even gave me human blood before Aro turned me when I was eighteen. He said that I was a vampire in training, and I had no reason to disbelieve him.

"As I grew up, I fell in love with all the power he possessed and I wanted to run the kingdom. Then this," I waved to Alice, "Beautiful girl walked into my life and everything I knew, everything I thought was right, went out the window. My mother begged me not to leave the Volturi or her and my father, but my dead beat-less heart wanted what it wanted and I followed Alice. She had a vision of a better way of life and it was with my new family, the Cullen's. I disowned my old life, my old ways, my father Aro and my mother Tori said that they would make me and Alice pay someday. That day has come, and Edward I am sorry."

(Edward POV)

"Jasper, this is not your fault, it's mine for putting my Bella in danger again, just by simply loving her. Carlisle, do you think we can find them?" I asked

"Edward, Tori has "gifts "and if they don't want to be found, they won't be," Carlisle said.

"That's where Jasper gets his gift of empathy from. Maybe you can try to channel Bella or the baby?" Carlisle added.

I was going crazy and my mind was on overload. I didn't know if I wanted to cry or sleep. I hated this part of what I was becoming when Bella needed me to be strong and there for her and our daughter.

"Don't worry Edward, we'll find them," Alice said as she patted my shoulder. Jasper just sat there looking off into space and I had to reach out to my brother so he knew none of this was his fault.

"Jasper, you blaming yourself isn't going to help anyone and it's making my head hurt worse. I know that Bella wouldn't want you to be like this. She loves you and is happy that you are part of our family," I told him.

I went up to my and Bella's room and was calling to her or to Clair but to no avail.

(Bella POV)

I woke up again, I was dreaming of Edward, he was in our room calling to me but I couldn't answer him. I was bound by some sort of invisible rope or something. Tori was still in the room looking at me with such hate that my skin could crawl.

"Why are you doing this, Tori? Please, won't you help me and my baby? I've never done anything to you or to him," I said.

She growled at me and then she spoke in a cold calculating voice, "Shut up, Bella, or I'll drain you and that brat you're carrying!"

I shut my mouth, I had to keep Jason safe no matter what they did to me. I needed food and was hoping that they would bring me some because I was afraid to ask.

"Bella, my dear one, is there something you want to say? I would love to have someone like you in my kingdom. Your gifts are great ones and so are your baby's," Aro said.

"Gifts?" I whispered.

"Yes dear, I see no one has told you what gifts lay before you and this child that you and my dear Edward have created. Join me and my dear wife and help bring our son home and we might let you live," Aro said.

Aro thought, "If Bella knew that we could not kill her or that child, she could be the one that will bring us down and take over my kingdom. Bella, this baby, and Edward, if he's changing to be like them, are going to be the most powerful vampires this world has ever seen. Times will change, and I shall never let that happen. This is my world to rule and I will kill the rest of her family if I have to, to get her to commit to my way of life.

"Tori, get our dear guest some food; the baby should be hungry by now," Aro said. Then he let a wicked laugh escape his lips.

What was I in for? Then Tori returned and she was holding man in his twenties. "What is he for?" I asked but I think I already knew the answer. "Is he for me?" I asked with a sick felling in the pit of my stomach.

"No, dear one, he's for the baby, Tori, drain him half into the cup and you can have the other half," Aro said.

"Help me, please, you have to!" the man cried. I hated this but I was tied down and the baby must have wanted to try it because I could feel the excitement rising up in his mind.

"Jason, this is wrong, your father wouldn't want you to drink human blood," I said and the baby kicked as to disagree. "Mommy knows honey, but you have to learn right from wrong and this is wrong," I said to him also.

"Bella, you will drink this or you will starve, this is your choice," Aro said. Then Tori ripped into this poor man and I watched as all the light in his eyes drifted away and he slumped onto the floor.

"Here, Bella," Tori said. When I didn't reach for it, I felt a shot of pain shoot through me and I was screaming aloud for Edward.

"As I said before, take this and drink it NOW, Bella!" Tori shouted at me and I still didn't take it.

I felt the pain again and this time I was doubled over and tears was falling down my face. "If I get out of this I will kill you slowly, I promise you that," I said to Tori.

I don't know where that came from but I grabbed the cup and drank it all and the power that was running in me made me feel strong.

"Yes, my dear one, drink up. You shall kill no one, well, no one in my family, dear one, anyway, you may kill any human you choose. Let's start with your family shall we, if you don't join me and my dear family then the next person that will be drained here will be one of them. Your father, mother; which will be your new baby brother growing inside of her. Maybe your best friend Jacob Black, to kill a wolf it would give me great pleasure," Aro said.

"Stay away from my family!" I shouted and the force behind it knocked Aro over. I felt the invisible rope around me loosen a little and the look on Aro's face said he was scared of me.

If only I could get into his mind, Tori's mind, or call for Edward's help. I kept pushing and I saw a bubble-like shield shoot from me and go all around me and I could hear Edward, he was dreaming of me, wanting me.

"Edward, Edward wake up! I can hear you, I can see you love. I'm in a building that is by the water. Edward, you can help me! I know that they have a block or a shied over this place and I don't know how but I have made a bubble and inside it I can block whatever they are doing here," I was sending to Edward's mind.

I thought that I would try and see inside of Aro or Tori's minds. I saw a small boy and Tori was holding his hand. They were in a dark place and she was really scared.

Then I saw Aro, he looked the same but his skin not as paper thin and snake like as it is now. Aro was going to kill them both, but he felt something for Tori. Lust, and the smell of her blood, he wanted her, he loved her from first sight.

He then walked to a big place, this must be his kingdom. He showed her around and asked her to marry him. 'No! Tori,' I thought, but she said yes and they were married and then on the wedding night, he bit her.

The next image was from a few years later, the boy was older and he was acting like a vampire but he wasn't one yet and the boy, I know him, who is he?

Fast forward even further and the boy was being bitten by Aro and he was telling Tori and the young adult that he owns them and when the boy turned, I saw who it was, it was Jasper. My soon-to-be brother Jasper.

"Jasper," I said out loud and I looked up to see Tori look at me and her eyes locked on mine. I was on the right track.

"How did you know that I was thinking about my son?" she asked.

Her son, Jasper? Things were falling into place, now if I could just get into Aro's head maybe I could get away. "The block I have on this place should stop you from sending or receiving any kind of mind-reading or communication," Tori said

'So she's the block, I'll have to try and push her back and override it like I just did around me, maybe I can enclose the whole place,' I thought to myself.

"Aro is the answer to all this, am I right?" I asked Tori.

"He's my life, and I'll tell you nothing," she said. Which tells me all I needed to know. Think Bella, think.

I felt the ropes loosen even more and I could move my legs around and the chains on my arms became lighter.

"I'm going to get free you know, Tori, and I will kill both you and Aro if you hurt anyone I love, including my baby," I said. She growled and I broke free.

I jumped at her and she hit the wall. I thought about the doors being closed and they slammed shut. I had a hold of Tori and I could hear Aro in my ear telling me to kill her, to drink from her and enjoy it.

"Stop Bella, if you kill her, you'll one of them." It was Edward this time, I could hear him, I could almost smell his wonderful scent. I looked down and I pulled my mouth away from her throat and pushed her away from me.

I punched her in the face and ran out the back of the warehouse, through the wall. I loved this new and improved durable Bella.

I didn't stop running till I found the road and my way back to my family. Alice and Edward was out on the porch waiting and Jasper met me at the drive way. He felt the worst and told me it was his fault

He had no choice in how his life was back then and now he chooses to live a better life. I hugged him and told him that there was nothing to forgive. Jasper and I grew closer at that moment and I knew this was the best family, I made the right choice in choosing them.
