I DON'T OWN THE TWILIGHT SAGA! SM DOES AND I JUST PLAY IN HER WORLD!!!

I'm baaaaaaaaaaacccckkkkkkkkkk!!!!!! Yay!!! Yeah, I know. It's been too long! However, I will be updating this regularly along with my other story, Midnight. When that updates, this does shortly after. More info in the AN at the bottom!

For those who don't remember, what happened last was Melony got kidnapped by the Volturi and the Cullens, Bella, Nessie, Jacob, and Cole are all trying to figure out how to save her.

Chapter 17: Volterra

Edward's POV

I was shocked when Nessie said the Volturi. How on earth. When had this happened?

"Renesmee, are you sure?" Carlisle asked.

She nodded. "Of course. Mel always told me when she ran away, the Volturi sent Alec and Jane after her. They offered her a position in the Volturi but of course she refused. They left her, but she always had a feeling they would come back. I guess they chose now."

"She's with the fucking vampire mafia!?" Cole yelled. "Let's go get her, then!"

"Cole. calm down," I said. "We have to go about this rationally. We can't just storm in there, demanding for her back. We need to figure out a plan."

"Alice, can you see anything?" Bella asked.

She looked distressed, as if in pain. I hated seeing her like this.

"I don't," Alice answered sadly. "It keeps changing. Aro must be doing this on purpose."

"He probably is," Carlisle said. "He knows your power better than you."

Cole groaned. "If we can't see anything, then let's just go!"

"Calm down, Cole," Jacob commanded him. "If they say we need a plan, we need a plan." He turned to us. "Now. What the hell is our plan?"

Melony POV

I glared at the seat in front of me. Yes, I was being childish about this, but I didn't care. He kidnapped me from my own home, and, on top of that, he had sent the one girl who hates me. Isn't Aro just smart?

"We're landing," Alec whispered.

I glared at him. "No shit, Sherlock."

He shrugged. "Just announcing it."

"Well don't. I don't give a fuck."

I usually didn't use this much profanity. I guess it's better to start late than never.

The plane slowed on the runway. As soon as it stopped, Alec grabbed my arm roughly, yanking me out of my seat. We walked in the cloudy streets, eventually making it to the giant castle. I could see a group of humans walking through the halls.

"We arrived just in time for dinner," Jane said smugly. "What luck."

"You people--no, monsters--are sick," I spat at her.

She glared at me.

"Jane, don't hurt her," Alec warned.

"Do your worst, second best," I taunted.

She growled at me, stalking towards me. "You listen here, half-breed! At least I'm something. You are nothing. You're not human, you're not vampire. Go to hell!"

"I'm already there, Janey-poo!"

She growled louder, then turned around towards the giant double doors. I guessed it was the feeding room.

Alec sighed. "Sit here in the lobby until we're done. I'll come retrieve you afterward."

I sat down in one of the seats. Now what?

Bella POV

Melony. She was a daughter to me. I didn't care that she wasn't. I loved her. How could she be gone?

Cole POV

My imprint. My love. My best friend. She's my everything. I'm supposed to protect her! I failed at that. Now she's gone. Why? Why? Why? Why? WHY?

Nessie POV

Melony is my best friend. She can't be gone. I was just as eager to get her back as Cole was. Why her? She's never done anything wrong. Stupid Volturi.

"Now. What the hell is our plan?"

I wanted to know the answer to that question, too.

"I don't know," Edward sighed, frustrated. "If we just barge in there, he can have us killed or even make us join his guard. We would have to go in a small group."

"I'm going!" Cole yelled.

"Yes. We all know that," Rosalie said, rolling her eyes.

"I'm going, too," I said.

"If Nessie goes, I go," Jacob added, sending me a small smile.

I was too upset to even fake a smile back.

"I'm going," Mom declared. "No one tell me otherwise. I don't care if Aro would want my power. I'm going."

Edward sighed. "I'm definitely going."

"I'm going!" Alice chimed. Everyone stared at her. "What? I wanna go."

"Alice, Aro wants your power the most," Esme said. "I refuse to lose any of my children."

Alice frowned. "But I'll be able to help the most," she complained. "Please!"

Esme sighed. "Fine, you can go."

"Yay!" she cheered. "Now. What's our plan?"

Melony POV

Once they were done feeding--on humans--Alec came to get me.

"Aro is ready to see you," he said.

I rolled my eyes. "No... you know what? I'm not even going to say it."

I followed him to the giant double doors at the end of the hall.

"Melony!" Aro cried in his weird cheery way.

"Hello, Aro," I said, rolling my eyes.

"How have you been, dear?"

"Oh, just fine. I have a family, a boyfriend. By the way, did you never have to feeling to tell me that my father was alive?!"

He looked confused. "I thought you knew."

"Well, guess what? I didn't! I thought my own father was dead for years! You never told me!"

"Well, I am happy you found your father, but you'll be happy hear, I'm sure."

"No I won't," I pouted.

Aro sighed. "Melony, you must trust me on this. Soon, you will be at home here in Volterra. Italy is beautiful. If you behave, you can even leave the castle. Of course, you could leave right now if you truly wanted."

I perked up. "I can!?"

"Why, yes! All you have to do is use your power to command it."

I frowned. "You're kidding me, right?"

"No, I am not. Just command me to let you go, and I will let you return home freely."

"But... I don't want to use my power."

He tsked. "That's a shame. I guess you'll just stay here, then. Alec!"

Alec stepped forward. "Yes, Master?"

"Take Melony here to her room. You know the instructions."

"Yes, Master." He turned to me. "Come, Melony."

I pouted but followed. We were silent walking there. He didn't even say anything when he opened the door to my "room".

"I'll come retrieve you later. Master Aro wants to have dinner with you to... discuss some things."

He closed the door. I looked around the room.

It was nice, yes, but I hated it. It was evil. It was blood red. The walls. The bed. The curtains. Everything.

I flung down onto the pillows and screamed my heart out. I wanted to go home. I wanted to be back in Cole's arms. I wanted to be back with Bella and Nessie. I wanted my dad.

AN

Sorry it's short, but... be happy. I updated!

Anyway, my story, Midnight, is my top priority right now. I want to work on that while working on this. I want to try to finish this before I go off for the Summer. During those months, I won't be updating at all. I'll be trying to enjoy my Summer before I go to 8th grade and have to focus on getting into High School. If I don't finish this before then, I will try to update as much as I can between breaks when I'm at a computer. Other than that, I can't promise anything. I will update on this weekly if not every other day or every two or three days. Yeah, they'll be that fast. I'll try, I promise. Hope you understand.

Now, if you could please review because I live hearing what you have to say and all your suggestions.
