Demitri's POV

"Demitri…."

Felix and Heidi stood dumbfounded before me until Heidi spoke.

"Bella! I need to get to her."

We watched Heidi disappear out the door before Felix turned his attention back to me.

"Is it really you?"

"Yes Felix it is me."

"How are you here? You were killed by the wolves."

"No I wasn't."

"But the Master's said it was so. We have been at war avenging your deaths. So many have died."

"Wait what do you mean at war? At war with who?"

"With the werewolves. The Masters declared every last one of them to be annihilated. We have been fighting them for a year."

"Why did they think we were killed by werewolves?"

"Afton and Renata were sent to find you after you did not return or contact anyone for months. They reported that your scents were strong until suddenly they came across the scent of werewolves. Your scents dissipated and the wolves scent got stronger the farther they traveled. They assumed that you had been killed by them and your bodies dragged off to be destroyed."

"There are no werewolves in Washington. They are actually shifters. Wolves just happen to be what they shift to. And there is Ang who shifts to a cat but that is who other story."

"So you're not dead."

"No Felix I am not dead. But I do have a plan."

"What plan?"

"When Jane and I arrived in Washington we meet Jacob and the shifters of La Push. Long story short they helped devise a plan to get Bella back and take down the Volturi."

"Is Jane here?"

"No she is back in Washington. That is a story for later. Right now we need to get to Bella."

Felix led the way out of the chamber room with Angela and me following behind. We quickly made out way down the long corridors and made our way through the maze that was the Volturi Castle. We suddenly stopped in the middle of a hallway in front of a set of open doors. Heidi was kneeling on the floor sobbing hysterically in her hands.

"Heidi! What happened? Where is Bella?"

"SHE IS GONE!"

She hysterically cried out as she clung to Felix's frame.

"THEY TOOK HER!"

I was confused.

"Wait, who took her? WHERE IS BELLA?"

Felix picked Heidi up and kept his arms securely around her holding her shaking body against his chest.

"The Romanians came today to acquire Bella for their collection. They traded the hunting rights to Budapest in exchange for Bella. I didn't think they would take her today. She needs time to recover before they transport her."

"What do you mean time to recover? What happened to her?"

With a heavy sigh Felix swept a sobbing Heidi off her feet and held her cradled to his chest with one arm under her knees and the other supporting her back. Heidi hid her face in his broad chest muffling her agonizing tears. What had happened while I was gone? Felix seemed to forget I was standing here as he continued to comfort Heidi.

"Felix what happened to Bella?"

"After the deal was made Aro insisted that Vladimir "try her out." Vladimir took her in the throne room in front of everyone."

"WHAT THE FUCK FELIX! WHY DID YOU NOT STOP THEM! HOW COULD YOU STAND BY AND LET IT HAPPEN?"

"I tried to get to her but I couldn't. Fuck I tried to get to her. You have to believe me. I fought with every ounce of my strength but they held us back. We were forced to watch as her took her over and over again. I watched as the light left her eyes. When he was done she was taken away and we were sent to the chamber. I thought they would have brought her here."

"WELL SHE SURE AS FUCK IS NOT HERE! WHERE DID THEY TAKE HER?"

"I don't know."

"FUCK!"

"She was taken away by two women who belong to the Romanian court. They would know where she is."

"We must find them."

"I know what rooms they are staying in."

Felix took off down the corridor with Heidi in his arms. I follow behind trying to keep myself together. It was then that I realized that Angela was no longer with us. FUCK! Last time I remember seeing her was at the chamber. I went to stop Felix but he had already stopped. I nearly slammed into his back.

"WHAT THE FUCK FELIX?"

Felix stared straight ahead holding Heidi closer to his body. There was fear in his eyes as he stared up a wide set of stairs we had stopped in front of. I followed his gaze and there standing on the landing of the short staircase was a woman. I quickly kneeled to the ground dragging Felix's stunned body with me. He nearly dropped Heidi but kept his tight grip on her.

"My, my. my Demitri, what have we here? Last I heard you were dead along with Jane. Know imagine my surprise when I find you here; alive. There can only be two possible reasons, the first being that by the grace of all the Gods your life was spared. And by their continued grace you managed to fight off the beasts that trapped you and made a heroic return to your Masters. Or the second, it was all a set up and you my good sir are a traitor."

"Your majesty I…"

"Chose your words wisely Demitri."

"Mistress I…"
