Disclaimer: I don't own a damn thing ;)

"They're here," her small voice was small and filled with agony.

The time was now. Our plan had to go smoothly in order for it to work. Nodding my head to the others, I stepped away from them, taking my place in the front. My hair was tied up in a tight bun, just the way Aro likes it. My jaw was set firmly, not in anger but in the normal stature of the Volturi. Carmen must be right; I just might be good actress. They emerge from the forest, their robes floating behind them. If the poison had any effects, I couldn't see them. The only thing I could distinguish were the grim smiles they wore, as if they had a plan of their own. I had grown used to stifling my gasps and did so when the Volturi's shadow turned out to be a vast army of robed vampires. Their red eyes burned with conviction and waves of hunger for war rolled off them, hitting me straight in the gut. Aro's smile became more pronounced as he got closer. I knew every movement I did from this point on would be under scrutiny, it was crucial that I mirrored their gestures. I tested the waters; smiling slightly at Aro when he was close enough. Flight and Fight were arguing in my head, so far flight didn't stand a change. It was now or never.

"Master," I said while bowing. I didn't was to seem too obvious, so I snapped back up.

"Isabella," he stretched out my name, taking time on the last vowel. "How good to see you again. You left in such a hurry." His hands were clasped.

"I must apologize Aro; they were a few things I had to take care of." His brows furrowed.

"Hmm, a few things?" He didn't wait for me to answer. "Tell me dear, what things are you referring to? Could it be the lovely audience you have assembled behind you?" he smiled tightly.

"Some of them, yes. I came here to make peace with the Cullen Coven."

"Peace? Why Isabella, the Cullens are one of our greatest friends."

"Yes, I know that. But, as you know, I spent a great deal of time with the Cullens before being awakened by Damien. I felt it necessary to assure them of my position in the guard."

"Were they worried?" I smile a bit.

"More curious than anything. I felt it only necessary to come and explain things."

"And did you?" he asked.

"Yes, I was actually in the process of saying goodbye."

"Is that so?" Aro turned his back to me and faced Demetri and the others. A quick smile flashed on Jane's face. I knew what was going on before it happened; Aro didn't believe a word of my story.

"I have missed you terribly master." Maybe that was laying it on too thick, but I was desperate.

"I will miss you too Bella." And there it was. The plan was foiled before it had even really begun.

"I don't plan on staying Master." His smile disappeared.

"What do you plan on doing?" he didn't give me the chance to answer. "I really don't want to hear your answer Isabella, nothing you can say now can change my mind.

"What are you tal-" again he cut me off.

"See Bella, the Volturi no longer has a need for you."

"I am an asset to the guard Aro." I pleaded.

"Were Bella, you were an asset to the guard. I don't see how we can allow you to accompany us back to Italy." Okay Bella, breathe. "So, how did you change Bella?" When I didn't answer he roared. "How did you change?!" In a quick motion, his hands were around my neck. "Did you really think that we would want you Isabella? There's no reason to keep you around…or alive" he hissed.

I knew that I could've just flung him into a nearby tree with my newborn strength, but I had to stick to the plan.

"Kill me now and lose the possible future the guard could have." Hook, line and sinker. His grip loosened.

"I'm listening." I glanced over his shoulder. Their energies were dingy; tainted with the innocent blood of the lives they took. The orbs bounced leisurely around them, never quite coiling like the ones I saw before.

"I have a gift, well more than one." Excitement flickered through his eyes.

Relaxing my body, I began to slowly pull at their energies. I could feel my body reacting, taking in these energies would be tainting myself too. Pressure overwhelmed my body, but the currents of calm that Jasper was sending me helped ease my nerves.

"Show me." He ordered. As you wish Master. I closed my eyes and took in his energy, swalling it completely. He was mine now, they all were. Slowly turning my head, I called Jasper over. I felt his warm hand in mine before I could close my mouth.

"Are you okay? Can you hold them?"

"Yes…just..keep…just stay here with me." Speaking to him proved difficult. If I put too much attention to him, I knew I would lose my control.

"Of course." He squeezed my hand.

"Enough with the lovey dovey shit Bella, do it!" Kate shouted.

It took everything I could not to shout back. Having this much power had me teetering on the edge of insanity; I could feel the monster fighting to get out.

"Stand back Jasper," My voice was rough, but still my own. He released my hand and stood behind me. "Sit, all of you!" My voice was thunderous, but I had the control this time. As ordered, the mass of Italian vampires all sat in unison. "You, Aro, stand." Aro stood, his eyes void of life. Carmen had said to order Aro and the others to leave and to forger my existence, but I wanted more than that. I wanted his life. What would happen when they decided to visit and discovered me once again? I had to insure that all of this would end, today. The monster pounded on the steel cage that I had locked it in, it wanted death too. "Did you all drink my blood?" I asked.

"Yes, all of it." His voice was dull and aged. I smiled.

"Do you want to die?" His face showed no expression whatsoever and it angered me. I wanted to hear him beg. I wanted to see the same fear he instilled in me.

"No." NO? Just no?! That wasn't good enough for me.

"Bella," I felt a hand on my shoulder, but it was so distant. I couldn't seem to remember who was standing behind me.

"it's me, Edward." Of course, who else could be reading my mind? "Remember who you are." It was like listening to a broken key on a piano; it didn't sound right…this wasn't right. The thick cloud of monster's breath rolled away and I was clear headed. What was I doing? I turned to Jasper.

"I want him dead Jasper." I whispered. "Please, let me do it." He smiled empathetically. I knew he would support me on any choice I made.

"Hold up." Alice joined us. "You want to what? Are you crazy Bella? Just tell him to leave and to forget you! Make him a better vampire or whatever." I shook my head, the anger was coming back.

"No." It was solid for me. I wasn't going to let any of the members of the guard live, not while I had the control.

"What do you mean no? That was the plan Bella!" Her voice was like a million of pin pricks to my brain. I couldn't take it anymore.

"I can't change who people are Alice! Say I do change him or "whatever," one day curiosity of a forgotten day will tempt him and he will come back here. Go back Alice, now." Edward knew it and Jasper could feel it…Alice would be in trouble if she didn't back off.

"Ok, so don't change him. We don't have time for this Bella; you won't be able to hold them all for long." She was wrong; a new chamber in my body unlocked, allowing more room for the captured energies. I could handle them…I could handle her.

Alice's energy was a bright arrogant pink and floated around her tiny frame. I took it in easily, rendering silent. My mind was made up and in one quick curve of the hand; I twisted off Aro's head, not caring where it landed when I tossed it behind me. I loved it, I loved the power I had when it did that, his life was essentially in my hands.

"Bella, "his voice was worried. "Are you sure?" he really was worried. I battle with the choices. Should I just send them on their way? Or should I end this all now? Could I really let Demetri go? After all he did to me?

"I don't know!" I shouted. "What about all the things he did to me? How can I let him live?"

"Because you're better. You don't want to be haunted by this day Bella." I would already be haunted for the rest of my existence. I'll never be able to forget what they did to me. No one could will my memories away; I would be the only one suffering.

"That's not true." Edward looked pained as well. "I'll never forget what it was like not having you around, none of us will. We are suffered Bella."

"But I can end this now…I need this closure."

"Are you sure?" Jasper asked calmly.

"Yes." And with that they were quiet, the only sounds heard were the sickening crunch of Aro's limbs being pulled apart. A match was lit in the distance and in matter of seconds, Aro was nothing but fumes and ash. I was so distracted in the bittersweet smell that filled the air, that I hadn't even noticed the Alice was right…my hold was slipping. "Jasper?" I whimpered. He turned to me, already understanding.

I collapsed onto the ground, my mind was exhausted. Slowly consciousness seeped back into the guard and their army. Jasper helped me up.

"Hurry Bella, you have to act as if nothing is wrong." He wasn't serious was he? They would notice that Aro was missing; they would smell what was left of him.

"Okay." I said even though we both knew that it would be hopeless to pretend.

He squeezed my hand one last time before darting back with the others. I watched as the guard all stood, dazed. Of course they would have some sort of knowledge of what just happened. However they wouldn't remember anything but me and my control. Demetri was the first to speak. I braced myself.

"What the fuck just happened?" His words were laced with venom.

"What are you talking about?" I asked, putting on my best innocence act. Slowly I could feel my energy regenerating.

"Where is Master Aro?" I looked around, as if I was wondering the same thing. "What did you do?" he really looked concerned.

"I think I should be asking you the same thing. Is this a trick or something?" I smiled internally, maybe I could turn this around.

"She's lying." Jane yelled out.

"How could I be lying? You know for someone who claims to be intelligent, you don't sound too smart right now. How could I possibly be the cause of this?"

"Your gift, you did this." I laughed.

"My gift of sensing emotions did this? Come on Jane, you can do better than that."

"Empathy?"

"Yes, that was what I tried to show to Aro when I blacked out." Demetri didn't seem so convinced. He rushed up to me and gripped my neck.

"What. Did. You. Do" Each word was spat out. I remembered how defenseless I was before. He could choke me then but this time it would be different. I placed my hand around his neck, mirroring his actions. I tightened up my grip until I could feel a small cracking. His hand dropped from my neck and I pushed him away.

"Like I said, I didn't do anything." He was rubbing his neck.

"Newborn strength, bravo Bella, it's about time you grew some balls. It was getting kind of boring with you.

"Oh, don't worry; I plan on changing that very soon." My energy was in full bloom and I could feel my body just begging to do what I was thinking. Like a light switch, my body flicked to invisible and I was behind him in a split second. "How's this for excitement Demetri?" I became visible again. "Are you having fun?" Before he could say or do anything, I went back to being invisible and darted back to where I was standing. "Looks like I'm holding the cards this time." They all looked visibly worried, oh this was going to be fun.

So was it worth the agonizing wait. Sorry again guys :( Please let me know what you think! Love it or hate it? Leave a review!
