The Execution.

Jasper's POV

Getting into Seattle was easier than I thought it would be, but then again no body really takes into consideration that the sewer system can be used. Not if someone is determined and smart enough, and I certainly am, don't get me wrong if it was avoidable, I most certainly wouldn't have walked through it. Though doing this seems to have gotten Emmett set on setting up a vampire version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, he really is a five year old trapped in a grown man's body. Before long I was zooming in on Alice's location, I can hear her singing to herself. Walking through the ally-way I eventually come to the opening between the two apartment buildings, and I can see her dancing around. Good God, she's holding Lauren Mallory's head.

Staying in the shadows, I scan the surrounding area and find that all the humans are staying as far back as possible. This will make the task somewhat easier, as the humans are too far to see any specific details. Moving forwards only slightly, but remaining in the shadows, I try to keep the pain I'm about to cause my mate from my mind and heart. Otherwise I won't sell this.

"Alice."

Alice stops her dancing to look at me, her eyes lighting up at the sight of me.

"JAZZY"

'Don't cringe, don't cringe.'

Fortunately for vampires everywhere, Alice comes over to me at a human pace. Throwing herself at me as soon as she can, not to mention shoving her tongue down my throat.

Flashback: -

"Whatever you have to do Jasper, to get her to the clearing. Do it, just make sure you remember that I am the only one that gets to see the Major from here on out." Bella's growls to me, before grabbing the back of my neck and yanking me down for the hottest kiss we've had yet.

End of Flashback: -

With a sickening guilt, that I'm able to keep under control, I force myself to kiss Alice back.

'Huh, I think we vampires may be able to throw up after all.'

Eventually, and mercifully, Alice breaks away and looks at me with bright eyes of happiness.

"Alice, what were you thinking with this? You're gonna get the Volturi hunting us."

Alice simply rolls her eyes at the mere thought of our leaders coming to kill her. She has flipped.

"They wouldn't dare Jazzy."

Despite wanting otherwise, I am forced to admit myself curious.

"Why?"

Once again she rolls her eyes, complete this time with that annoying giggle.

"Because silly, we can destroy them. Not that we'll need to any way when I tell them that it's time to take over the human world."

What? Jesus, she's more insane than I thought.

"Take over the human world? Why?"

Alice looks at me with confusion.

"Because they're below us silly, our pets, slaves. We are top of the food chain after all, therefore we should be ruling over them. Duh."

Did she just say 'duh'? Is she fifteen?

"Alice, don't you think that might be rather dangerous? They have ways of stopping us now you know, I couldn't bare if something were to happen to you."

'Don't gag. Don't gag.'

"Oh, Jazzy. Don't worry, nothing is going to happen to me. After all I will be able to see everything they plan to do, then we kill them before they do it."

Yeah, she's fucking lost it. OK, think, think.

"OK, how about we go somewhere secluded to plan."

I force myself to make the decision to have sex with the pixie. Buy it, please buy it. Suddenly lust shoots through Alice, it's worked then. Forgive me my sweet Bella. Not that I am going to sleep with this socio path, not if I can help it any way.

"Yes, let's plan. I have a room at one of the best hotels in Seattle."

Shit. Not happening.

"How about we go hunt first darling."

Bella won't be wanting me to be using that pet name ever again. Hell, I don't even want to think of that pet name any more. Disturbingly though, Alice's eyes seem to sparkle with delight, and it's at this point when I finally register hints of red in her eyes.

FUCK!

"Let's finally get rid of her."

Her? Who in the shit is her?

"Her? Her who?"

Alice scoffs.

"Isabella of course. Stupid little whore, should have ripped her fucking throat out the moment I had the chance. But no Edward had to fall in love with her. Pussy."

'Too many witnesses. Too many witnesses. Must save Bella.'

"We can't kill her Alice."

Anger shoots through Alice, her eyes darkening in an instant.

"Why the fuck not?"

'Shit. Think, think, think.'

"She's already dead."

'True, in a fashion.'

Glee shoots through Alice now, along with a little disappointment.

"How!"

"Victoria. Tortured the little runt right in front of my very eyes, rather difficult keep a hold on myself actually."

Alice now frowns.

"Why didn't you have a taste?"

I scoff, trying to act repulse which actually wasn't hard to do. I am repulsed by myself.

"Why in the fuck would I want to poison myself with such vile?"

This seems to cheer up Alice considerably, myself on the other hand. I'll be lucky if Bella let's me within the same state as her for that one.

"Any way, what do you say we go somewhere more private?"

I honestly don't know if was a good thing or not that Alice agreed so quickly. They better be ready, I am not drawing this out any longer than I have to.

The two of us reach the baseball clearing rather quickly, Alice is under the impression that we are cutting through here to get to a run down cottage. That is, until now. Walking further into the clearing, Alice is suddenly surrounded by both vampires and the pack, and I make my way quickly to where I truly belong. Bella's side, as I cautiously take Bella's hand the feelings of confusion floods Alice. Until she spots Bella, and there's the anger.

"What! You said the whore was dead!"

The women feel stabs of anger, Bella more so however.

"Says the one that can't seem to keep who she is and is not mated too. If you're mated at all."

Pride shoots through Rosalie and Charlotte, but I focus the most on Alice's emotions, which cause me to pull Bella slightly behind me. I know that Bella is not breakable any more, but she doesn't know how to fight yet, throw in that it is typical male vampire response to protect his mate at all costs; and there is no fucking way I'm letting this whack job get close to my Bella.

"Well, look whose got a back bone now. Too bad you'll be spending eternity alone sluts usually do you know."

I feel my brows furrow, what was she rambling about?

"Alice, you shouldn't talking about yourself like that."

Bella's tone is filled with mock concern, and several snickers come from her words. Boredom and annoyance is now boiling between the three Volturi leaders, and decide to take charge of the situation before Alice can think up another self insult.

"Too late."

Ah, Edward and his mind reading ability. Rather useful little trait, when it's not annoying the fuck out of a man.

"Mary Alice Brandon, this is your trial."

Aro's words carry out easily enough throughout the clearing, given that we are all supernatural beings he has no need to raise his voice. Which I am grateful for, it is only Bella's third day in this life she is still a little sensitive. Still can't believe it took the better part of three fucking days to get the kinks of this plan sorted. Why do the Volturi guard have to be such a pain in the ass for following simple instruction, Jacob wasn't exactly helping either. I am brought back to the present by the sounds of Alice scoffing.

"Please. My trial, just because you three are pussies with taking what is rightfully ours and I finally decide to do something about it. Just admit it Aro, you want vampire domination over humans as much as the rest of us."

Growls echo through the clearing, eyes narrow at Alice.

"Humans are the dominate species on this planet, officially, we operate in secret because that is how we all want it. Especially now, when one takes into consideration the weapons they hold. Besides, not that it is any concern of yours Miss. Brandon, but whom do you think it is that dissuades the humans from using such destructive tools on themselves?"

Shock comes from Bella, it was true I suppose. Being the mythical creatures that we are, it allows us to scare the shit out of certain power hungry people enough to get them to be-fucking-have. But once again Alice scoffs.

"Just enslave them, that way the brainless pets won't go fighting for scraps."

More growls come at this. This was the one thing that we all agreed on, to remain a myth, unseen. Moving in the shadows as it where, and in cases like Peter and Charlotte's, hunt the human hunters. Finally Caius seems to have enough of the talking.

"Aro, everyone here knows of this vampire's guilt let's just exterminate the little cockroach already."

Hmm, seems Caius holds great value in the rule of staying out of human sight. Interesting, would have thought he'd be the first one in line for something along these lines. Aro sighs with an eye roll.

"Yes, I suppose you are right brother, I highly doubt she will declare for some form of mercy. Not that she'd get it of course." Aro looks to Jane, Felix, Alec and Demetri. "You know what to do."

The vampires and the Pack watch as the four members of the Volturi guard close in on Alice. It isn't long before Jane has her on the floor in pain. The pack begins to gather wood for the pyre, and the rest of us watch as Alice is ripped to pieces. Out the corner of my eye I see that Esme is struggling with the sight, despite knowing that this is the only logical course of action for such a threat to our kind, Esme is still and will always be kind hearted and maternal. So it stands to reason that she'll have trouble with this. Bella's hand grips mine, which is actually hurting a little, but I squeeze her hand back. Hoping to reassure her.

It takes 15 minutes for the execution to complete, nobody spoke during that whole time. Watching silently, mates moving closer together, reassuring themselves that their reason for being is still with. A wave of fear hits me from Edward, why? What has he heard through the Volturi minds? Turns out that they feel like sharing their thoughts.

"Now it's time to deal with you Edward Cullen."

Carlisle and Esme freeze, granted their not happy with him either, but they'd prefer to deal with him themselves than to risk loosing him through the Volturi. Edward, however, straightens his shoulders a little before walking forward feeling determined, remorseful and ready to accept whatever fate is to be given to him. Huh, looks like he's grown up.

"You entered a relationship with a human, knowing that she had knowledge of our existence and yet failed to follow through our most important law. You have also left said human unprotected against others, having saved her from another deranged vampire whom could have exposed our world. Fortunately for you the human in question is now a vampire, so it will be left to her to decide your fate."

Aro's words cause myself and Bella to freeze ourselves.

"What?"

My Mate taking the words right out of my mouth. Aro turns to look at her, a feeling of slight fear running through him, interesting.

"It is you that has been wronged the most through his actions, therefore it is you that shall decide between two options. 200 years service to the rulers of the vampire world, he will be able to keep his diet of course, or death."

Ouch! I think Bella might actually be breaking my hand now. Her grip tightens instantly at the last word, and I can't help but wonder if she still has feelings for him in some way.

"Very well. I have made my decision, it will be..."
