Chapter 4

An Angel's Face

"EDDIE! Jazz has done it again he's manipulated Renata's feelings and her shield has recoiled. I know where you are and you are close. If you get out of your 'cave' you will look up and see a trap door. The room you are in is a prisoner's solitary confinement as you guessed. The trapdoor will lead to Jazz's cell and then he will contact you from there. Letting you know where Alice, Bella, & I are located. I hope to see you soon Edward." With that her thoughts were shielded again.

"You've got another one of your looks on Edward" Rosalie said.

I smirked, "the shield just went down."

"Hazel contacted you!" Emmett perked up and I nodded Carlisle and Esme came hearing this.

"What did she say?" Esme asked and without answering I gestured towards the "door" to the "cave" and walked out not ran not sprinted but walked.

I looked up, "see that, that's a trapdoor. Hazel said it leads to Jasper's cell and then he will tell us what to do and she will contact us."

Emmett and Rosalie just stared at me and Carlisle was staring up so was Esme.

"Why the hell are we just standing here…LET'S GO?" Emmett merely shouted and Rosalie grabbed him.

"Not yet Em" she said.

"Well when?" Emmett asked.

"How about now I said bolting up and opening the door.

"Damn Edward" Rosalie mumbled and I smirked at Emmett.

I just ran up. I don't think anything prepared me for what I would see.

At first I didn't think I was seeing right…it was a sad boy. Just stabbing the floor and was shielded off on his thoughts. His just below his ear length hair was blonde. It was Jasper of course and he heard us his face lit up like we'd made his whole day just by coming for him. We stood their silently and Jasper numbed our sadness for him.

"Jazz" I finally said.

"Eddie, Met, Rose, Carlisle, Esme" Jasper murmured "is this an illusion" he finally asked.

"No" Carlisle told him Jasper shook his head ever so slightly and looked at the ground.

"Holy shit I can't believe you guys are here" he said.

"We can't believe we're seeing you" Emmett said.

"Aro's plans are much worse than they seem now" Jasper said.

"What do you mean?" Esme asked.

"This was only the beginning he wanted you to be here." Jasper said.

"They will be coming here in less than 20 minutes Alice had a vision."

"Go to the girls' cell" Jasper told us.

"Wait not yet. We can't just leave you" Emmett and I said together.

"Emmett and Edward are right" Rosalie said.

"Yes we've lost you before and we aren't going to lose you again" Esme said.

"You guys don't know what you're getting yourselves into…but thanks" Jasper said.

"No thanks is necessary we are a family" Carlisle said.

"Time for brainstorming" Emmett said.

"We're going to need something that the Volturi don't have if we want to all get out of here alive. Even if some of us do escape Demetri will still find us." Jasper said.

"Not unless we leave Haze out and let her escape with some of us" Emmett said.

"True" Rosalie said.

I read Jasper's mind and his thoughts directed me to how he had been able to manipulate Renata.

"You think you can do it again?" I asked.

"Hell yeah" Jasper said.

"Alright we've got to lure her here" I said.

"Let me guess you've got another plan" Rosalie said.

"Tell me about it" Emmett said.

"First Carlisle and Esme will go to the gates of the castle and act just…casual. We will try to have one of the leaders of Jane or Alec be lured and you guys will distract them…can you do that?" I asked them.

"Yes" they said together.

"Good" I said. "Jazz, you will 'try' to escape and they will send Renata you will manipulate her feelings to stay with you and let the shield down. After that you will tap on the chimes on your cell. Rosalie will then be waiting and hear it. Can you do that Jazz?" I asked.

"Yes sir" Jasper said playfully slugging me.

"Rosalie after you are signaled you will then be on the lookout and run to Hazel and Alice's cell and then contact Emmett who will then break the door. You will send Hazel to find me and take me to Bella. Then we will meet in the front alley for a fight… or amends, whichever the Volturi wants" I said.

Rosalie nodded very slowly "interesting" she said.

"Nice plan" Emmett said.

My eyes went wide "Alec is coming, we're going back down…see you in the morning that's when we will invade I will signal you from my post." I said to Jasper.

"Okay see you" Jasper said and we all said goodbye to him and hoped he wouldn't suffer anymore.

We listened to anything that might sound bad and mostly it was just crap from Aro.

"You know what" I heard Hazel say.

"What" Jane said taunting her.

"This is really sad you have to make everyone else miserable to just get what you want…Carlisle, Esme, Edward, & Rosalie are suffering right now…all because of you! What don't you have?" Alice shouted at Jane who made Alice feel pain.

"PLEASE JUST LEAVE HER ALONE LEAVE US ALL ALONE FOR THE THOUSANDTH FUCKING TIME!" Hazel shouted.

More screaming and agony just basic horror; my siblings were suffering and so was my Bella. I wanted to be able to put the plan into action…like now. But I had to wait until morning similarly to how Hazel had to wait for Jason I guess. But except she was hurting…we were all hurting. We just wanted to go home and have them back.

What Jasper said to me "none of us will escape…alive" it was really sinking in "if you want to get out alive run for your life…they will burn you" I heard Hazel telling me something…but I knew it wasn't her. Why couldn't we take action now? Why was it up to the Volturi? I wasn't going to take any more of their crap.

I tapped Rosalie's shoulder and she glared at me, "what?"

"That's the most important thing to you!" I said answering her thoughts.

"Sorry" she said.

"We are putting our plan in action…now we can't let the fucking Volturi dominate everything…even if they are trying to be good" I said.

Rosalie thought for a second and then ran to Emmett who was kicking the wall…lightly he was obviously holding back a lot.

"Emmett, let's go we're taking action…when we want to" Rosalie said and he smirked

"Well then let's go kick some Volturi ass" he said and I half smiled at him…the first time in a long time that I'd smiled.

We got Carlisle and Esme who were not so sure, "Son, are you sure this is a good idea I don't want to lose you..." Carlisle said.

"Carlisle, I think we have to trust them" Esme said and then Carlisle agreed. They knew what they had to do…they knew the plan. We were ready.

"We will meet up in the center hall" Emmett said and then we nodded.

"We're ready" Carlisle and Esme said.

"We will see each other soon" Esme said and the three of us nodded (the three of us meaning Emmett, Rosalie, & I) we watched Carlisle and Esme disappear.

My siblings and I went to our posts and waited…I stood in my hiding place…listening…for something…anything.

I knew by Carlisle's thoughts that he had started already…I was most worried about them but they knew what to do. They were just acting casual…as a distraction so we could take action. Jasper had already taken action. Alec had been sent to take care of him and he had manipulated Alec's feelings to get Renata and he did…Renata had come and Jasper manipulated her feelings to take the shield down and also to stay with him so he could keep her in control.

I listened for Rosalie's next because Jasper had already chimed for her to work. She was on the lookout and found Hazel and Alice's cell. Emmett had taken action and broken the door…he told Haze to find me and take me to Bella. She ran…fast…faster than I had ever seen her run before. Occasionally she would stop because someone would be coming.

"Edward I'm almost there!" she was thinking.

I wanted to see her…to see Bella…to be free.

I caught her scent…her clean scent…she was close…her thoughts were louder than normal. That meant that she was really close. She was hiding from Aro who had heard about the commotion and was coming…she was hidden very well. When Aro was gone she sprinted faster than she was before…I saw her and she tackled me. She threw her arms around my neck and I hugged her tight never wanting to let go.

I looked at her face…her eyes were black…very black. She was thirsty and I didn't blame her she hadn't drunken anything in a long time. The dark circles under her eyes were really bad.

"Edward?" she said almost in a whisper.

"Yeah" I said.

"Is it really you?" she asked me.

"Yeah" I said she smiled a little and looked as if she wanted to cry…not of sadness but of happiness. I read her thoughts and I had never seen her this happy in a long time.

I looked into her black eyes and found her pureness I could always see it in her eyes…I knew what I was seeing…an angel's face…an angel's eyes.

"Come on Eddie" she said to me "let's go get Bella."
