Recap

"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.

I waiting for her to say something, knowing Jane, she would speak any minute now. I could see the wheels churning in her head; a clever comeback was difficult for her to produce right now. I had shocked her with my gift and in turn revealed that it was indeed I who killed Aro. A slow smile spread across my face as I cross my arms over my chest.

"What? No comeback Jane?" I grinned, enjoying the power that I held in my hands

"What do you want me to say? Do you expect for me to beg?" She sneered back.

"Oh, if I wanted to you to beg, I could make you," I uncrossed my arms and closed the distance between us.

"You know Bella, I always knew you would make a big mistake, ever since Aro brought you." I stopped, and listened. "Aro may be gone, but the rest of us are still here." She nodded back to Demetri. "I hope you had fun, because this just may hurt a little." I decided to play along.

"We should talk this out." She cocked her head to side and slowly gave it a shake.

"I don't think so." Her eyes squinted in the familiar slant that she used when inflicting pain. Still wanting to follow the script, I sunk down to the ground, roaring in pain. "The Volturi don't give second chances Isabella, it's time for this to end." I stopped moving, waiting for the perfect moment to blow my guise. Moving slowly, I rose to my feet with a small smile on my lips.

"You're right; it is time for this to end." Flicking to invisible, I darted to behind her, easily wrenching her head from her shoulders. Throwing it over my shoulder like the Aro's, I took that moment to show myself to the others. "Now!" I screamed.

The earth beneath my feet shook as the Volturi's army collided with ours. I didn't have to look to know that we were winning; the growls and emotion were enough. Finishing off Jane's petite figure, I threw her body into the growing crater of flames. The sweet smell of ash filled the air, and pushed me to fight harder. Like a whirlwind tearing apart a tiny island, I ripped my way through the crimson eyes vampire. They had no faces to me, just bodies that needed to be dismembered. However the only thing on my mind was Demetri, I was going to be the one to end his existence. Somewhere inside of me was scared. It scared me to know that I could just switch from the Bella I've always been, to the Bella I am now. I wasn't going to call myself a monster…I was over that. But, will I always be this quick to end a life? Negotiations could've been made; everyone could've gone home without this risk. The weight of losing someone from our side pounded on my back and I suddenly became lazy and languid in my movements. I barely registered the sting from a bite on my shoulder. Before I could do something about it, the vampire was pulled away from me.

"Bella!" It was Jasper. Maybe he could make sense of what I was feeling. "Why aren't you paying attention?" I guess my worries would have to be saved for another time; he didn't seem to notice my heavy weight of anxiety. "You have to keep on moving. Alice just saw that the rest of the guard will try to escape." Escape, the weight of those words overshadowed my worry, bringing me back to fight mode.

"Escape?" We couldn't let that happened, the guard would just draft more vampires and who knew how much longer we could fight.

"Yes, we have to find Demetri, Caius, Felix and Alec." I looked around; most of the Italian vampires were dead, their bodies now being burned.

"Come on, I have an idea." Grabbing his hand, I spread my blanket of invisibility over the both of us.

I ran as hard as I could, the word escape repeating itself over and over in my head. If Alice's vision came true, it would mean the end of many things. It would mean the end for Jasper and I; because I would do anything to protect him, even if that meant sacrificing myself. I could feel the tears that would never fall tickling my eyes. I did all of this to protect him…to protect them all and I will take that next step if I have too. Would Jasper have been better off if I had never been awoken by the Volturi, the Cullens? I'm like a catalyst for all things awful. Because I couldn't maintain a professional relationship with Jasper, or accept my fate with the Volturi, this has all in turn has happened. Jasper shouldn't be running right now with me, he should be running away from me. Before I could tell him that it was I who should be looking for the fugitives, we entered another small clearing where the rest of the guard stood.

They seemed to be in pain, half of them wincing as they reattached their broken limbs. However Demetri was the only one who seemed to be on guard.

"Do you smell anything?" Marcus asked Demetri. He turned from his defensive stance to face him. Marcus' black hair hung in disarray over his bent head.

"No, nothing. They must have not noticed that we left."

"Do you really expect us to just run away? They killed Jane, they must be punished." Alec roared.

"Not so loud you idiot," Demetri hissed. "You will have your revenge, but do you not see that we do not have any advantage here? Our abilities are useless here." Alec bowed his head. "It must be one of that bitch's gifts, she's rendered us all useless."

"What do you suppose we do? You seem to be making all the decisions." Caius rose to his feet, his robe cascading behind him. His beautiful face bent into a sneer as he continued. "You are not in any position to be making any choices." He turned away from Demetri dramatically, whipping his long robe in his face.

"Perhaps because I am the only one suitable to make any decisions. None of you, in exception to Felix, has ever been in a position like this. What could you possibly know to do in a situation like this?" Caius was quiet. "That's what I thought. Look, I'm not the enemy here, Bella is."

"We can't defeat her, not when we're in this condition." Alec replied.

"Yes, I know that. That is why we need to leave now."

"The Volturi are not cowards, we do not run from wars." Felix spat. "Let Isabella find us, I will show her that she is no match for me."

"And when she compels you to kill yourself, what then?" Demetri spat back. "We must be smart my brother, leaving is the best choice. We will be back when our powers are fully restored." He turned away from them. "Revenge is the Volturi's oldest trick" he smiled.

"Then it's settled, we must leave." Caius turned to face him. "There is much that needs to be discussed." No doubt he was talking about a replacement for Aro, Demetri had advocated himself pretty well.

"Can you stop them while shielded?" Jasper turned to face me. "You'd have to do it right now."

"I think so." Squeezing his hand, I started to sprint over to the guard.

Their energy swirls were tired and defeated. I smile as I realized that I could indeed compel them while in protection of my shield. I quickly swallowed them, feeling the familiar mists coil inside of me. I made sure to leave Demetri's free. I wanted him to be conscious when I took my revenge.

"What!" he stammered. The effects of my compulsion were obvious; the eyes of the guard went blank, their bodies motionless.

"You take care of them, Demetri is my job." I said to Jasper before dropping the shield. "I have to say Demetri, that was a pretty good campaign speech, I'm sure they all would've voted for you to be the new Master."

"Your sarcasm isn't attractive Bella, not at all." He began to move to the left, but I mirrored his movements.

"It's okay, I happen to have someone who thinks it is." Jasper was busy lighting the fire to burn the dismembered guard, but his hand went up in a wave.

"So I'm guessing you're here for your revenge, sorry to disappoint you honey, but you're not going to get it."

"And here I was always thinking you were smart Demetri, but you're the idiot. There's no where for you to run Demetri, you're trapped."

"That's sweet Bella, you're even cuter when you're wrong. Too bad we'll never get to consummate our love, well not while you're conscious anyway." What was he trying to say? "Aww, forget being cute when you're wrong, your much more cuter when you're confused." He crossed his arms and leaned against a tree. "You know, I should be really insulted that you don't remember, but I guess it's not your fault since you were sleeping."

"What-"

"Shhh, I'm about to come to the good part. See Bella, it was just too hard to resist your weak, innocent body while you slept. I couldn't help myself, and if you ask me, you seemed to enjoy it. Although it wasn't my name that you moan when you came on my fingers, it still turned me on. I enjoyed it so much; I decided to do it every time while you slept."

"You liar!" I screamed.

"Really? That seems like a very pathetic thing to lie about, don't you think?"

"Well you're a very pathetic person." He laughed.

"Your opinion, not mine." He pushed away from the tree. "You know what I think? I think you're mad that you didn't get to enjoy it while awake. Trust me Bella, the live version will be so much better than the memories you'll be bound to have."

"It's not working." I whispered.

"Oh,but it is Bella. You don't have to be shy, I know you're curious, you always have been. You think I didn't notice how you always looked me up and down? How your gaze always lingered on me when I walked into your room."

"Did you ever think it was because I was trying to figure out how someone so good looking could be so ugly"

"So you admit it," he licked his lips. "You wanted me, you still do." I spit on the ground.

"You know you're good looking, all vampires are dumbass."

"Why are we straying from what's important? What's important is that I got to enjoy your tight…"

"Enough!" I turned to Jasper, he looked visibly distressed. "He's lying Bella, I can feel it."

"Oh so the boyfriend comes to her rescue," he began to clap his hands. "That's really sweet, too bad I'm not lying." He walked back to the tree, rubbing his hands over it. "You can even ask Damien, he was there after all."

"This is just sad Demetri, do you really expect for me to believe your sick fantasy?"

"He will remember me kicking him out of the room one night." He continued as if I hadn't spoken. "Threw quite a fit when I told him to wait out in the hall. He really cares about you, it's sweet. Alice doesn't stand a chance sadly." He smiled. "It was cold in the room that night and you were bundled in that lilac colored quilt that Heidi brought into the room. I slowly pulled it off of you, your body responded immediately to the cold air, if you know what I mean." I closed my eyes, he was trying to get under my skin…and it was working. "You were wearing that loose black tunic that you always wore, you know the one. It stops mid thigh, revealing just the right amount of tanned skin."

"Bella, if you're going to do something, do it now." Jasper whispered in my ear. It snapped me out of the trance I was in.

"Stop!" By now I had control of his actions. His energy fought against my ribcage, but I easily silenced it. I walked up to him, grabbing his neck, squeezing until I was satisfied with the small crunches of bone. "Were you telling the truth? Did you really touch me while I was sleeping?" His blank stare just made me hate him even more. Panic and worry settled in its normal place as I waited for him to speak.

"Yes, yes I was lying." I flung him back. Releasing his energy I stood back where I was before. When he regained consciousness I spoke.

"Like I said, pathetic." He was holding his throat, no doubt trying to realign the bones there. "Nice trick eh? What do you say, how about we just end this now?"

"You're making a big mistake." Ha, finally his cool was melting away.

"No, actually I think this is exactly what I should be doing." I stepped closer to him.

"The Volturi are needed-"

"to restore order, blah, blah, blah, I've heard it all before," I cut him off. "and yet, I'm not convinced." I took another step forward. "Do you remember those days Demetri? The days you would terrorize me for asking for a cup of water? Abusing me just because you felt like it?" I had my hands on his shoulders, my nails digging into his skin. "DO YOU!" I roared. He just stood there, his smirk never faltering.

"I enjoyed every bit of it." He spat out. The monster in me could no longer be contained and I more than willingly opened the door for it.

"Hmm, just like I'm about to enjoy this." My hands slid down from his shoulders and onto his arms. "Now it's your turn." I punctured his arms with my nails and then pulled, finding a strange pleasure when his arms were completely off his body.

I breathed heavily, slowly coming down from my high. His face was contorted in pain, but he made no sound. I could respect that, I too refused to scream when the draining process began. However my need outweighed the respect, and I soon found myself yearning to hear him cry out in pain. I turned to him, pulling in half of his energy so he would be immobile but still conscious. I walked over to the purple flamed pit.

"You'll feel my pain." I whispered t myself. Dipping in just the tip of his arm, I let the flames lick away at his skin. I smiled in sweet satisfaction when his wails vibrated through the clearing. "Feel my pain," I whispered again.

"I do feel your pain." I could barely focus on who it was who was speaking; the monster was blocking the view. "Just let it go Bella," That voice, I know that voice…but who. "Let it go." That sweet voice…Jasper.

"He has to feel my pain." I sobbed. "I can't let him go without feeling my pain."

"Yes you can Bella, remember who you are. You're my Bella, not his, don't let him consume you." I was his….I was his. The words were like a mantra in my head, repeating over and over until I understood the meaning.

"I'm yours…" Oh God, what was I doing? Dropping his arm into the flame, I grabbed onto Jasper and buried my head against his chest. "I'm so sorry," I whispered.

"It's over Bella," I could feel him nodding. Suddenly the only sound were the cries of Demetri's melting flesh.

I held onto Jasper even tighter. Demetri's wails were no longer pleasurable, but haunting. I closed my eyes tight, hoping that I would be able to erase the sound of his pleads. I turned just in time to see Damien discard the Demetri's head. His eyes were locked onto mine, and not in pain, but in a grim knowingly look. I turned my head in fear, knowing that that very moment would haunt me for the rest of my life.

"You're not alone in this Bella Jasper whispered into my hair. "We started this together," I looked up into his eyes. "and we'll end it together." I found some strength in me to smile.

Standing up on my tip toes, I touched his lips with mine. The kiss was what I needed; in it, it held promises, dreams and a future. I stepped back down but kept my arms tight around him. We both turned away at the same time, walking with our arms around each other until we reached home. The war was over and we survived. Although I know it's going to take time to fix what's broken inside of me, having Jasper by my side helps. I can only wonder what the future holds for us.

Epilogue

To imagine I was first just a girl living inside of a wooden crate, moving from family to family, never really having anything to call my own. And now I'm a part of a family more specifically Mrs. Jasper Whitlock. A year after the battle with the Volturi, Jasper brought me to an Island by the name of St. Lucia. It was on our third night there that I slipped on a tunic that Jasper had brought me that I found something heavy weighing down the middle. A sapphire diamond ring hung on a loose string of thread. That was ten years ago and I still remember and cherish that day as if it were yesterday. Every day I look into his eyes and thank God for him being the "one."Looks like true love does exist, you just have to fight for it.

And so the story comes to an end. I really want to thank all the reviewers who continued to read and review and encourage me, you know who you are ;)

Please review and let me know what you think. It's been a long journey and I'll miss my Bella and Jasper, but I think it's time for them to enjoy their marriage, don't cha think? Thanks again guys.
