This chapter is long overdue and I thank you all for your patience. Now you don't have to wait any longer because here it is. I hope you enjoy it!

"Alice? What is it?" Jasper asked moving behind her to gather her in his arms.

"Twelve," she said in a daze.

"Twelve what, Pixie," Anya snapped. She was the impatient one out of all of us.

"He's going to make a scene. The Volturi will be watching and they'll kill him." I gasped. Fruit forgotten, I started to pace.

"How are we going to get there in time?" Esme cried. Never had I seen her so broken, fragile, and dismal.

"It's only 10:00, Annalia. There is plenty of time. Stop pacing." Ashley reasoned.

"It only takes one more hour and we'll be in Florence. It'll be cutting it close, but we should be able to get there in time." Alyssia said. Was that seriously supposed to help me.

"Eat your fruit," Anya demanded. I stopped pacing to look at her. Was she crazy? Now is most certainly not the time to be thinking about fruit. I guess she knew what I was thinking because she stopped my thoughts from continuing with her words.

"You need your strength remember. You know there isn't a way to get out of this without a fight." Anya stated nonchalantly.

"That's not true. There is plenty of hope for us. The Volturi don't know you guys. They don't know that you're inhuman. You can pass for human. And you're weapons won't be noticed. They are well hidden with a little help from a new outfit." Ashley said. Alyssia nodded.

I got to thinking. Alice never told me any specifics on where Edward would be. Only that he would expose himself at twelve.

"Where will he be Alice?" I asked.

"Under the clock tower. You gotta stop him, Bella. Only you can do it. If he even hears our mind, he'd speed the process up. We can't do it Bella." Alice said.

"Bella, we are so sorry we left you. It wasn't voluntary. I swear. Assward dragged us along." Emmett said earning him a smack from Rosalie.

" I guess Edward threatened you? You don't have your own brains? You let an idiot think for you?" Anya snapped. She was highly pissed about Them leaving and Emmett surely didn't help by bringing it back up.

"You don't know my brother. You have no right to speak such things of him. You bitter peace of shit!" Rosalie defended Edward. That got Alyssia started.

"Oh she's bitter? You're walking around all high and mighty, but in reality, you're just miserable. You have no live and you' re jealous of Annalia. Bella. Whoever. You can't stand the fact that she can get what you want the most. A life. Get one you evil bitch!" Alyssia yelled in Rosalie's face. I was going to speak, but Rosalie moved too quickly and caught me by surprise. In the next second, Rosalie was pinned on the ground and was whimpering in pain while Ashley had her arm twisted in an unnatural way. Emmett threw her across the area causing her and the plane walls to groan in protest. Emmett had moved to check on Rosalie.

I couldn't register what I did until I had done it. Emmett was against the wall. I held him there by his collar. I guess Rosalie had tried to attack me because I heard more scuffling from her and Jasper and my sisters.

"I could care less about who you are right now. No one can touch my sister trying to cause her harm. They are entitled to their opinions. Rosalie needs to respect that. She is not on top of the food chain around here. She can't boss my sisters around." I said menacingly. My last words were directed towards Rosalie.

"But we are your sisters Bella. And brothers! We are your family." Alice sobbed. She was at Jasper's side. He was moaning in pain holding his side. That was when I took everything in. Anya was glaring at Rosalie, holding her by the throat with one hand. I let Emmett down gently. Esme and Carlisle just stood there in shock. Ashley had went back to flying the plane. Alyssia was daring Alice or any of the other Cullens to make a move. She remained silent though. It was all in her eyes.

"When you left, you lost your right to call me your family and this definitely didn't help your case." I said. I made a motion telling Anya to let Rosalie go. Rosalie growled and walked slowly towards Emmett. He grasped her in his arms and together they walked over to where Carlisle and Esme stood. "I understand your need to protect Rosalie—well I actually don't get how you could be with that—but for the most part, I get it. But don't hurt my sisters because your wife can't control her actions."

Esme and Carlisle finally unfroze Carlisle ran over to Jasper. I sighed.

"It's probably just a broken rib. It'll heal. It could have been a lot worse," Ashley said.

"I think someone owes an apology." Anya sneered at Rosalie.

"I'm not apolo—" Emmett covered Rosalie's mouth with his massive hand. He seemed to tell her something with his eyes.

"Sorry," she mumbled when Emmett's hand.

"She isn't the only one who needs to apologize." I looked toward my sisters.

"I'm not sorry!" Anya yelled.

"You overreacted! I can speak for myself. I appreciate the thought, but I can handle my own." I said.

"Sorry Emmett for overreacting to your comment. I won't apologize to her." Anya said.

"No prob" he responded.

"Sorry Jasper for breaking your ribs." Ashley and Alyssia said. Jasper nodded.

"I'm sorry, Emmett for jacking you up and stuff. Now we can continue our day." I said.

Anya was the first to say something, breaking the tension. "I'm hungry. You girls want anything? I'm not in the mood for fruit right now."

"I'll take a muffin and an orange juice please." I said.

"Me too," Ashley second.

"I'll stick with the fruit." Alyssia muttered. In a flash Anya was back with food.

"Umm...We didn't think about something before, but it is really sunny in Italy and St. Marcus day. That means no cars." Ashley said.

"We still have some cute cloaks in the closet. And contacts. We can always take the back roads on the bikes. I really don't think that there will be a problem." I stated.

"Hmmm. I forgot all about those. Are you sure they are still there?" Ashley asked.

"I almost positive." I got up and ran over to the closet. Sure enough, there were plenty cloaks for everyone. Contacts were at the top of the closet. I got everything for everyone and sat back down.

"The little scuffle put us a little back, time wise. We'll be there in about ten minutes." Ashley informed me.

I put on my cloak and we all waited for the plane to land. I got on my motorbike and prepared to take off. As soon as the airplane doors opened, I shot off.

So what do you think? I know this chapter was long overdue. In my defense, things haven't been going as planned and it has been really hectic.
