Hello everyone! Sorry for not getting this done earlier but I was enjoying a little bit of my down time. Anyway, since it was requested, I am going to put the part of last chapter that was in Aro's part and make it B POV for the first part of this chapter since you've all just been amazing! You guys really know how to make an author blush! Seriously, I've never felt more Bella-like…well except when I tripped on my pant leg…among other things. T-T I'm more of a destructive klutz though. 50% damsel and 50% destructive. Not a good combination, trust me on that. Onward readers!

Chapter twenty: Over my Dead Body

B Pov

Of course it was ten o'clock when that vampire showed up.

Mistake number one.

He came waltzing through the door with a determined expression and glared at Edward who promptly stood up in before pushing me behind him. A quiet growl seemed to echo through the quiet house, it was just Edward and I now against this vampire who looked like me meant business.

"Oh this hardly seems fair." Felix grinned.

"Does it? There are only two vampires here," he laughed. Now he was pissing me off.

"Well since you seem so determined to raise some hell!" But he just laughed like there was nothing funnier.

Mistake number two.

But while he was still laughing himself sense-less. But I just smiled to myself. While he was distracted, I whispered to Edward as quietly as I could.

"Play along, I have a plan." He looked a little worried at what I said but nodded. Not long after that, Felix recovered himself and strode over to me. I cringed away from him, looking like I was terrified. And then without a moment's warning, Felix slammed Edward through the living room wall. Ooh Esme's gonna be furious. But it was Felix's fault. I was hoping that Edward would just stay down so that Felix would just take me and leave, I kept thinking it, trying to unblock my mind if even for a second, but I didn't have to.

Another smaller vampire that looked fairly young (at least when she was changed) stride through the door with a careless stride. She didn't even glance at me, her focus was on Edward. A moment later I saw Edward get up and then collapse again without a sound as the vampire's focus seemed to intensify.

I couldn't help it, I screamed. I screamed at the little vampire who wouldn't shift her focus and at Felix who had a hand wrapped around my arms and rendering me unable to move for the moment. "PLEASE STOP!" I screamed at her again. But this time she turned around slowly, the intensity of her gaze focused on me as she smiled angelically. I waited with held breath, knowing I was sunk if she had some kind of power to cause pain. I kept waiting for something, but…nothing happened.

She frowned slightly and then her frown turned to a glare and then a look of menace. I was surprised to admit that I had been afraid of her but she didn't seem to be able to do a thing.

But Felix wasn't going to wait around for the little vampire to finish off the fight. "We're leaving Jane," he said in a stiff tone that made me think he was a little bit afraid of her too. Ha!

Jane smiled, waved at Edward and danced over to us as we moved through the hotel room and out into the twilight. And then, everything went black.

When I finally did wake up again, I found myself lying on a not so comfortable couch and that Felix was sitting on the chair beside the couch smiling evilly at me.

"Finally awake huh? Took long enough, come on. Aro wants to see you."

And finally, mistake number three. This guy was seriously out of luck.

"Who's Aro? And what does he want?!"

"Oh you'll find out…" I'd had enough. I stood up and so did Felix. Now normally he would seem intimidating to most people, especially since he towered over me.

"It seems we're at an unfair advantage," I said as a smirk twisted at my lips.

"In my favor of course, but it can't be helped."

"Oh I didn't mean in your favor," I said quietly. With blinding movement, I swung around and kicked Felix in the chest sending him flying through a brick wall or two.

The expression on his face was on of rage, embarrassment, and shock. I kid you not, the combination was hilarious!

"What the hell?!"

"You see Felix, I'm not a vampire but I'm not exactly human either."

Not long after that, Felix was on his knees looking at me in amazement and anger as I dragged him through the hall in search of Aro. Of course I only took him so he'd tell me which one it was but I was hoping there weren't that many vampires since even I wasn't that good. Two would be difficult and any higher would be practically impossible.

That's when I saw another small vampire run into the room that Felix had pointed out. I heard her hurried warning to someone inside.

"There's a problem!"

"What is it my dear?"

"She's here," she whispered.

"Excellent, tell Felix to bring her in."

"You don't understand-

I burst through the door, absolutely beyond furious. Inside I could see a few vampires including the one I saw rush in and several very frail and old looking ones. The one closest to me had chalky white skin that looked like it might crumple if someone touched him. His milky red eyes were fixed on me, his mouth hanging open slightly in awe. I was pretty sure that I even looked furious, which may not sound like much but the way he was staring made me think he'd seen god or something. Which I'm obviously not.

"Which one of you is Aro?" I said in a steely tone. I half expected for every vampire in the room to point to Aro when he spoke up.

"I am Aro." His tone sounded as if he was trying to regain some composure and authority. I dropped Felix in front of Aro. I almost laughed when Aro caught sight of my expression, cringing a little.

"I don't appreciate this," I said gesturing to Felix. But I'd meant to say, "I don't appreciate this sort of welcome." But I was so furious I only got to this. I was still mad from before, when Jane did whatever she did to Edward and when Felix had 'kidnapped' me. But he knew why I was furious so there wasn't really a need for saying it out loud.

"Trying to attack me out of no where and take me here. I have enough to deal with without vampires trying to get on my kill-list!" Aro looked petrified now. I couldn't have cared less at the moment though, I wouldn't forget about Jane.

"If you even think about trying something funny again…!" Then I turned and stormed back out of the room. I'd given them a warning and it would be their fault if they tried to attack me again.

"What a force of nature!" I heard Aro say breathlessly from the room as the door swung shut.

Back at the Hotel

I was relieved to see that Edward and the others were fine. Of course Edward was worried about me but I was more worried about what Jane did to him.

"How can you be worried about me?!"

"How can I not? Jane did something to you, I don't even know what! Are you sure she didn't hurt you?"

"No, she can only create the illusion of pain," he answered, sitting down and still looking worried.

"I'm fine too."

"Well I can see that, I just don't know why. I mean, Aro sent for you. How in the world did you leave?"

"He let me go," I lied casually.

Aro Pov

Isabella was starting to make much more sense now. Her history explained much of the girl I'd seen- like an avenging angel of sorts. Of course Jane had told me why she was really that furious. And needless to say I wouldn't let it happen again. Jane had made an idiotic mistake, and I did as well when I finally encountered her. I'd been left speechless…an occurrence that I'd never before experienced. A vampire hunter, one of the best of her agency.

"Well, well I must say, I'm impressed," Jane mused from the doorway. Fiona was typing away; hacking into god knows how many computers. She had that set expression was she broke through firewall after firewall and then smiled triumphantly.

"I've managed to hack into the President's computer," she said in her professional voice. "He has access to all the files of their employees as well as their personal background and recent missions they've been sent on. Stats, rank, and location."

"Very good!" She moved over for me to scroll through the files of information on Isabella Swan. The longer I read, the more I was impressed.

Name: Isabella Swan "Bella"

Age: 17

Rank: C- Ops.

"What in the world are c-ops?"

"I don't know, but I'm going to find out," she said joyfully and began typing commands into the computer again.

"Ok, says here that C-ops are the group that's closets to the Council. They're like the Secret Service to the president, except they work for the Council. They're apparently super tough and elite; there's only about twenty of them at a time and most are between the ages of twenty-one and forty-five."

"Amazing."

"There are no ranks above them, well except the Council. But they're just pulling their strings."

Background: Swan

Isabella's parents were killed by vampires when she was seven years old. She survived miraculously after staking the vampire who killed her parents. She was then adopted by Council member and priestess, Morgan Farewood. Since the time of her parent's death, Isabella had trained and work to become one of the strongest hunters under the Council.

"Oh my…," Fiona trailed off.

"She's been stakin' vamps since she was seven?!" Jane squealed. "And my power doesn't work on her!"

"Most wouldn't, she's a vampire hunter after all."

"Click the links on the page."

Fiona clicked on the one labeled Elizabeth Swan which then opened up into a page that had information that looked like Isabella's except the picture was a portrait. It went on to explain the life of Elizabeth Swan and all about her descendants.

"I always thought she was a fictional character…"

"Apparently, someone wanted her story told." We searched for hours, looking at her family tree and getting as much on her missions and activates as we could. Names and words stuck out on the page and I couldn't help but feel a little star struck.

"Truly impressive. She will make an excellent addition to the guard…"

"Don't tell me you're still hooked on the idea of changing her," Jane groaned.

"Sir, if you don't mind my saying so, Isabella Swan doesn't seem like the type to enjoy being a vampire," Fiona said warily.

"Oh she will once she's changed. Plus I can offer any kind of payment, how could she not want to be part of the guard? Or even like a daughter of Voltri!"

(sorry if I spelled it wrong again!)

"Sir, she just doesn't seem the type to want that kind of life. I just don't want to put it past her to…resist…"

"Oh she will resist at first, but that will change. I'm beginning to understand Bella more and more. I'm getting close girls, and Bella will be a vampire by the end of the week tops. I have my way of getting things done."

The plan was well in motion. I mean, I'd never changed a vampire hunter before but I do know someone who has. And that little experiment ended with extraordinary results. The only thing I had to do was talk to an old friend and ask for a little favor. An ex-hunter against a hunter would mean that there was a way of getting Bella to be changed but also without risking getting killed. It was in every way an evil plot, but it was with good intention of course.

…Very good intentions…

Sorry I couldn't get it finished the other day! But it is now since I love all my adoring fans! Ok, just out of curiosity, how many people read Maximum Ride by James Patterson? I love his books and if you haven't read them, YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE MISSING! They're awesome and if you're looking for a good read, I suggest those books. They're not Twilight but they're fun books that keep the pages turning rapidly. There's even a section of fan fiction for the book! There have been Twilight-Maximum Ride crossovers and most were pretty successful! Later readers and don't forget to review…please…?
