Author's Note: Thank you for all the Reviews!!! They make my day. A lot of you seem to think I'm going to just end the story without going into detail...I promise you I did not forget anything...you have some of your questions answered here. I was going to make this one long chapter, but it got to be too long, so I had to break it down into two. So there will be one more chapter and then the Epilogue.

Thanks to those that have stuck with this story and been faithful readers. I hope ya'll enjoyed the ride. Once this one is done, I'm not sure if I'll start another story. I'm going to be concentrating on "The Deepest Sorrow" for a while, but maybe when that one gets closer to the ending I'll start up another one.

Enjoy :)

"Sixteen hours. Dude, sixteen hours! That's how long you lasted into our bet." Peter gloated.

"I'm aware of that." I growled. Although, I couldn't really be mad at that. Sure I lost the bet, but damn, what a way to go down. "Now that we've established that, I'll take my share of the money now." I reminded him, non too friendly.

"Damn." He muttered pulling out his check book.

I smirked and turned back to my desk. I may have lost the bet but I still think I came out on top. "Feel like going car shopping today?" I asked him. We really didn't have much else to do now that I stopped us from working with the Volturi brothers.

"Yea sure." He replied standing up. Right as we were making our way out the front door, two things happened at once. Peter stopped, suddenly looking terrified and my phone started ringing. I flipped open my phone never taking my eyes away from Peter. What the fuck was going on?

"Jasper! I didn't see it!" I heard a panicked voice saying from the phone before I even said 'hello.'

"Alice?" I asked.

"I just saw a vision of Charlotte coming to you, freaking out. Bella's gone!" She cried.

At that exact moment Charlotte pulled up into the drive and tore from her car. I could feel her panic and it almost brought me to my knees.

"What do you mean gone?" I demanded of Alice, but looking at Charlotte.

This could not be happening again. Seriously. This was fucking bull shit. She was my fucking mate, why did everyone insist on taking her?!

"Major, it's Bella!" Charlotte yelled into Peter's chest. "He got her."

I could hear Charlotte dry sobbing and Peter trying to soothe her and Alice was jabbering on about something, but none of it made any sense. How could she just go? And who was the he that took her?

I snapped the phone shut not caring any longer. My hands were shaking and it was taking every part of me not to project my rage on everyone within the ten mile area.

"Charlotte." I said calmly, "Who took her and where did they go?"

"Aro." She whispered.

BPOV

"You have to get this." Charlotte said holding up a black see through teddy. "You would bring him to his knees in this."

"I'd rather be the one on my knees." I joked with her.

We were at the mall shopping around. Charlotte's punishment was she wasn't allowed to buy anything until Peter said so. He took away her credit cards so now she was trying to live vicariously through me until he gave them back. Unfortunately she had no idea when that would be.

"God, you're such a perv, you know that?" She asked laughing.

I just laughed with her and agreed. I was definitely a dirty girl. We finished up with the shopping and agreed to head on back home to our boys. As we were stepping outside though we both stopped, standing still. I lifted my head higher and took a deep breath. I knew that smell. It smelled sweet. Too sweet, like cotton candy. It was how Aro smelled. But Jasper promised me he was dead, so who was that? It was definitely a vampire.

Before I could say anything to Charlotte we were both tackled to the ground and brought behind the store at top vampire speed. What the fuck? I tried to throw up my shield but I couldn't concentrate. There were two figures standing above us and even more holding the two of us down on the dirty ground.

"Get off of us!" I screamed, trying to throw my shield up again. Nothing was happening. Why wouldn't it work?

"Aw, my sweet girl." A voice cooed from above me. "There's no reason to raise your voice at us."

I knew that voice. But it couldn't be.

"You're dead." I whispered as Aro came into my line of vision. I would recognise that ugly black hair anywhere.

"I assure you I am not." He said laughing. This was all a game to him.

"Leave the girl. I don't need her messing things up for me." He commanded someone, "Let's go."

I was thrown over the back of another vampire who ran full pace towards the woods. I saw Charlotte looking back at me terrified. We didn't even have time to put up a fight. I don't know how much time passed from when we left the store til now, but it couldn't have been more than a couple of minutes. Not long enough for anyone to notice. I couldn't concentrate on anything as we ran. All I could think about was how was Aro still alive?

Jasper would have never let him live. Did he have the power to come back to life from his ashes or something? That would be a handy gift, but it would not bode well for me.

"Leave us." I heard Aro speak.

Suddenly I was dropped into Aro's arms and forced into a Black suburban. God, not this again. I was put into the passenger seat and my hands were handcuffed to a bar in front of me. Handcuffs? On a newborn vampire? I almost laughed at that thought. In the split second that Aro took to run to the driver's side of the car I tried to break the metal handcuffs that were holding me hostage. They made a loud clanging sound on the metal, but otherwise they did nothing.

I pulled harder and even put my foot against the dash to put all of my weight into it but nothing was happening.

"Do you like them? They are made specially for vampires. Unbreakable." Aro said from beside me, looking at me with an amused expression on his face.

"What do you want with me?" I asked him icily.

I was not in the mood for his games. I would not be his victim again. I was a vampire now. A powerful fucking vampire. He couldn't hurt me anymore.

"You know what I want." He said, driving off to God knows where.

"You can't have me." I argued, "My Major will find you and kill you. Again."

"We'll see about that." He muttered.

We drove for three hours in complete silence. I continued to try to break the stupid handcuffs but it really was no use. Instead I used my focus on trying to put up my shield. I finally managed to put it up but it still did no good. The only difference was that now, Aro couldn't touch me.

I sighed and leaned my head back against the seat. I don't know what his plans were but judging by his emotions I could tell that killing me was not on the agenda. Today. But it was strange, I was getting feelings of his love and obsession and completeness. He truly thought that he loved me.

This was all kinds of fucked up. God, I bet that he would try to rape me too. The thought of his hands on my made me nauseous and I secretly vowed to never remove my shield. Sure it tired me out, but I was not going to let him touch me in the way that only Jasper has. I belonged to Jasper. Not Aro.

After another two hours of driving we pulled into a man made runway for airplanes. There sitting on the tracks was a private jet. He was taking me away from Alaska. Maybe if I could keep the shield up long enough that would give Jasper some time to find me.

We pulled up next to the jet and Aro got out and shook hands with someone. It was a human, I knew that much. Soon he was back at my door, staring into my eyes. If he wasn't such an awful person he would be handsome. His red eyes went well with his dark hair.

"Remove your shield, my dear." He said pleasantly, like we were a couple going on our honeymoon or something.

"Umm no." I said sarcastically.

"There's no reason for you to be hostile." He said, "Now, remove your shield so that we can continue on with our journey."

No reason to be hostile? He was seriously delusional. This was no fucking journey, this was a kidnapping! Again! This man has twice now, taken me against my will.

"Can you not find a woman that actually wants you?" I spat at him, "Do you always have to use force?"

"Isabella, I could have any woman I wanted. You are just lucky that I chose you." He said through his teeth.

"Yes, you are completely right." I agreed, "Any woman would love to be taken against her own will, forced into a car with a man that probably wants to kill her, and be taken away from her true mate. You psychotic bastard."

"Listen here Isabella. Take down your shield, or you will fucking regret it later when we are alone." He threatened.

"Why don't you go fuck yourself?" I whispered back to him.

I felt the sting of his slap before I even registered that he had raised his hand. My head was forced to the side and the rage that coursed through my body would have brought me to my knees had I been standing. The fucking bastard slapped me.

"Do I need to ask you again?" He said.

I shook my head no and looked away. The slap didn't hurt, just a tiny sting, but the meaning was clear. He looked at me like I was his property. He didn't see me as his equal, I was nothing more than a pet to him. A pet that he could do whatever he wanted with.

At that thought my shield gave way and I couldn't even try to get it back up. It was gone.

"What a good girl." He praised, taking off my cuffs.

Hearing those words from him made me shiver. Not from excitement, like when Jasper called me his good girl, but from disgust. I would NEVER be his good girl. God, my life was so fucked up right now.

It was times like this where I wished I were human again, so that I could use sleep as an escape from this reality. But no. I was a vampire. A vampire that I became willingly so that I could spend the rest of forever with my mate. My God of War.

Just thinking about Jasper made my insides burn with guilt and regret and sorrow. I missed him so much and I knew that after this things were going to change. If I ever got back to him that was.

I shook my head of that thought. Of course I would get back to him. One way or another we would be with each other again. We were mates damn it.

"What's on your mind, my dear?" Aro asked, grabbing my hand.

I looked around and saw that we were already in the air. I instantly closed my eyes and concentrated. I felt my shield come back in place and Aro was pushed a couple of feet away from me. Excellent.

"Now listen here," He said getting as close to me as he could, "You are mine and you can not just throw up your shield whever you want."

I just scoffed, but said nothing in return. Let's just see how long that little theory worked for him. I kept my shield up the entire time we were on the plane and I was starting to get tired. It was slowly starting to fade and I knew I was going to need my strength once we got to wherever we were going. So reluctantly I pulled my shield back and closed my eyes.

"That's better my sweet Bella." He said coming and sitting beside me, taking my hand once again in his.

"So...does crazy run in your family?" I asked him, feeling the plane start to descend.

"You think you're funny." He said kissing the back of my hand, "But keep it up and you will regret it." I could hear the truth behind his words and said nothing more. What the hell was I supposed to do now?

As soon as the plane landed I was escorted out to yet another black suburban and handcuffed once again to a metal bar in the front seat. I was beginning to feel more like cattle than a person.

Aro didn't speak as he drove us to another cabin type house in the middle of nowhere. It almost looked like where he had taken me that first time, but here it was sunny. There was no cloud cover, wherever we were. As we got out of the car and ran to the door, our skin shimmered in the light.

"This will be your new home." Aro said proudly, gesturing for me to go in first, but keeping a firm grasp on my elbow. I didn't get a chance to look around though before he scooped me up and ran me down a staircase and into a dark basement.

Fuck. Another basement? Are you freaking kidding?

"You will stay in here until I think you're ready to come out." He said menacingly. It's already been almost twenty-four hours and I was starting to get thirsty again. What was he going to do about that? He drank from humans and I only wanted animals...would he respect me enough to allow me to hunt animals?

Allow? Fuck...I was already admitting to myself that he had control. This was not good, and I was having trouble thinking straight. I looked around the room and saw nothing. The room was completely empty.

"I'm thirsty." I admitted to him, looking back into his red eyes.

"I know." He said easily. "You're still new, you need to hunt more than normal. Before I let you out to eat though tell me something. What is your name?"

I looked at him closely, was this some kind of trick question. I knew he wasn't that stupid.

"Bella." I said.

"Bella what?" He prodded.

"Bella Swan." Although that didn't really seem right. I was Jasper's and we were practically married and he has already told me that I was now a Whitlock. So I guess I was Bella Whitlock now.

"Nope." Aro said, standing against the back wall.

"What do you mean by 'nope'?" I asked him getting irritated.

"I mean that is not your name. You are Bella. Volturi." He said, a look of longing on his face.

Stupid, limp noodle dick say what?

"Like hell it is." I spat at him. I was not going to play his fucking games.

"When you want to eat, you will admit your true name." He said easily.

"Stockholm syndrome?" I asked, "Really? Does that shit even work on vampires?"

"You will be mine Bella." He said moving back towards the door, "The sooner you realise it, the sooner you will be happy." And with that he was gone.

The fucking nerve of him! I slumped back against the wall and put my head on my knees. This was a fucking nightmare.
