Meus Dulce Angelus – Chapter 6 – Freedom
AN- This is going to be a nice chapter, before all the real drama kicks in. Just to clarify, Bella has decided to let Aro control her, but she does still have her own thoughts and ideas. Enjoy ladies and gentlefolk!

Freedom
B POV
Life is good. Meus angelus has taken extremely good care of me, as have the rest of the family. When we have visitors I call him Papa. Father was just too formal, we decided. I slept every night in his strong arms. I love the way he held me, gentle yet still protective. He never patronised me in any way, if I thought his opinion was wrong (which wasn't very often, he's so clever) he would listen to mine. Not having to make my own decisions, it was complete freedom. The only downside was I still hadn't gotten over him. It hurt so much, I only hoped that in time meus angelus would be able to heal my wounds as I knew he longed to.
J POV
I was such an idiot when Bella first came here, how could I have disliked her? She's brilliant! Sometimes when Aro is busy with the boring stuff she'll come to my chambers and we'll talk about hair and clothes and girly stuff. It got me into Aros good books as well. He loves the fact she has a 'female influence'. She even let me cut her hair! She has it in a shoulder-length choppy style now, it really suits her. We dyed it red á la Gerard Way as well; Aro said it reflects her 'open personality'. Aro did talk some crap. She looks wild! Not that she is wild oh no, she's almost submissive. Yet she is still independent. It's wonderful.
C POV
She's my niece. And she's wonderfully well behaved. I thought that all humans were nothing more than primitive animals, now I realise how wrong I was. It's most humans, just not Bella. I grew protective of her, a back-up to Aro if something goes wrong. I help look after her.
F POV
Demitri and I, we had always said the Bella's our little sister, we love her to bits. I've always loved being her big brother, looking after her and playing with her. When she first came here she was far too grown up, she's almost childlike now, and it's great! Dezza's a bro to her as well, one she goes to for advice I reckon. She has everything here, although she's still cut up about Cullen. Damn him to hell.
M POV
I hadn't felt so alive since she died. She has such a good heart; I can't help but smile whenever I think of her. She brought so much happiness into this castle; each and every one of us would do anything to protect her. We all love her a great deal. I remember the day as if it were yesterday, the day when we all had to protect her. As usual Aro was with Bella, and Caius and I were discussing the Romanian threat when Jane entered the throne room with a look of thunder across her features.
'They're coming here.' She spat the next two words like they were curses, 'the Cullens.'
All I can remember thinking is how much Aro was going to hate this.
A POV
I don't think I have ever been so angry in my life. How dare they! How dare they even think of so much as gazing upon my precious filia! After all the damage they had done to her I couldn't believe that they would come to our home. Edward Cullens name still hurt her and she still screamed at night. That hurt me so much. I hate to see her in any pain. Oh how much I wished I could make her completely happy. My poor child. I almost wanted them to see what they had done to her, so they could be punished for their unforgivable sins. As she my beautiful filia awoke, and I heard the heart wrenching scream, a bitter reminder of exactly what the Cullens have done. I comforted her, regretting not being able to hold her as she slept that night. I hated having to tell her what I had to next.
'Filia, I have some news. It's the Cullens, they're coming here. I'm so sorry'
The look on her face was worse than when venom burned through my veins.
'No. Angelus I can't see them again, no! It will hurt so much...'
'I know it's hard but you have to try, you won't have to talk to them.'
Her face set into a look of determination.
'You're right angelus. You're always right.' She smiled softly at me. 'Of course I will try, I'm sorry for shouting at you.'
Always thinking of others, so considerate.
'There is no need to apologise. If I could stop them from coming then I would. And of course I will do my best to make this easier for you.' I paused, 'I hope they appreciate the trouble we're having to go to.'
E POV
I was determined to find her. I was convinced she was mine. I would rescue her from the Volturi and she would fall back into my arms. I thought she probably hadn't suffered too much, probably juts moped about a lot. I couldn't believe it when we heard she was living with the Volturi. I couldn't wait to be her knight in shining armour.
