"Alright Aro, here's the deal. I will stay for at least a year with your guard and you will help me train and further explore my shields. Maybe, if I decide I like you guys," I smirked at this, "after I leave I will help you out when needed. Sound fair?"
From his face I could tell Aro was shocked I decided to stay even though it was just for a year which is nothing to him.
I really need to control this whole shield thing better and it sounds like I found the perfect opportunity. Maybe in a few years I'll even change my mind about being turned. Hmm, nah, not likely.
I glanced over at Alice and Edward. Alice looked heartbroken yet accepting. Edward on the other hand looked murderous and he was glaring hard core at Aro.
Good thing I got a physical shield around Aro.
I felt a strange parental pull to Aro so I had wrapped him in my shield earlier and it looks like it's a good thing I did.
Edwards eyes turned pitch black and he moved so fast not even I would have been able to stop him.
"Edward! Don't!" Alice screamed out as Edward reached Aro. He went to tear his head off but succeeded only in breaking his jaw.
The big male vampire I heard someone call Felix, ran and grabbed Edward while he was distracted, due to his broken jaw, and pinned him down.
Aro turned to me and cocked his head in a questioning way. That crazy, cheerful smirk, that was starting to annoy me, never left his face.
I just shrugged and nodded to him a small smile playing on my lips.
Aro turned back to Edward and sighed in disappointment.
"Tsk, tsk, Edward. What were you thinking attacking me? What would you have possibly accomplished?"
"She is mine! You can not have her! She belongs with me!"
Edward was yelling but it came out a little muffled due to his jaw still healing.
Urg! He really knows how to push my buttons! I belong to no one! Now he's gone and got himself killed. Stupid, stupid boy.
I was about to ask Aro not to kill Edward and just send his delusional ass back to his family, but before I could a solemn looking Alice grabbed his hand.
Edward started to struggle more at the silent conversation that passed between his sister and Aro. Another male vampire, the tracker Demitri, had to help Felix in restraining him. I don't think they realized they could have easily asked for my help.
To assist slightly, I shielded everyone in the room mentally so Edward could no longer hear their thoughts.
Edwards head snapped to me with a growl.
Folks, I think we now have the world's first bi-polar vampire. I mean come on! First the guy loves me than he growls at me? Seriously, what is his deal?
Aro finally spoke and somehow his usually cheerful tone took a dark turn to where it actually sounded threatening.
"Ah, Alice, I am sorry but you know what must happen to stop this."
Alice nodded in defeat.
"I know master Aro. I am sorry it appears I have wasted mine and Bella's time in trying to save a lost cause."
What the hell are they talking about? I decided to voice my thoughts.
"What the hell are you talking about Alice?"
Though I was asking Alice, Aro answered me.
"It appears that our dear Edward here has decided that he will do anything to get his Bella back," He snarled. Wow, Aro actually snarled.
"Including trying to overthrow us. If we allow him to live he will go to the Romanians and create a newborn army. Although obviously he will not succeed, it does cause a great amount of casualties." Aro turned to his brothers.
"Brothers, I believe we know what must be done. Are we agreed?"
Mumbled yeses came from Marcus and Cauis.
I walked over to Aro and grabbed his hand. I lifted my shield enough to ask him if I could be the one to dispose of my one time love.
I thought it would be kind of ironic; he broke me that day in the forest now I break him.
Aro gasped in surprise at hearing a few of my thoughts. He was clearly shocked. For once that smile was not on his face which made me in turn smile widely.
He nodded to acknowledge my request has been granted.
I than 'decided' to ask Alice if she would be ok with me doing this. She nodded after seeing the vision of my question.
I slowly walked towards Edward who was extremely pissed I had blocked everyone in this room from his power.
He noticed my movement and a cocky smile spread on his face.
He actually thinks I'm going to side with him? Pathetic.
I nodded to Felix and Demitri to step back to allow us some room.
Edward went to move but noticed I had him wrapped tightly in my shield. I shook my head at him and spoke in a small voice.
"Looks like you'll get your original request Edward." I paused looking into his black eyes for the man I used to know. I couldn't find him.
"What happened to the man I fell in love with? He would never try to own me. He would never resort to violence to accomplish an impossible goal. You should've just let me be like you promised. I am sorry there is no other way but I promise I will make it quick."
Edward snarled viciously at me.
I manipulated my shield and tightened it on his body enough so that his limbs all detached.
While I was talking to Edward someone had started a fire so I threw the now dismembered body of my former lover into the flames with a whispered goodbye.
"You did what had to be done Bella. If he lived you would not have, and several of my family would have died too." Alice spoke sadly.
She was obviously distraught over the loss of her former brother. She came over and hugged me.
"I'm sorry Alice"
"No, I'm sorry Bella. I should have seen this or at least kept my vision of you jumping to myself." She paused to look at me with a questioning face.
"Did you really go cliff diving?" she asked incredulously. And just like that the tension of the room was lifted as we all laughed.
"Yes Alice, yes I did. And it was AMAZING!"
A/N I will be having a bit of a time jump in the next chapter. I know I killed Edward but I couldn't really fit him in the story as he's not the main bad guy or whatever. Hope you liked! Recenseo! Reviews!
