Emmett's POV

Jasper and I started to pull Alice off of Isabella. I think she was taken by surprise because usually Isabella would beat the hell out of someone if they even tried to attack her. I'm surprised she didn't even start hurting Alice, maybe because she knew better than to attack Alice without knowing why. That and she knew I would probably be upset until we knew why.

Alice still had her claws into Isabella's throat. Jasper and I had to peel off her fingers and yank her back. I was too pissed to even realize I pinned Alice to the wall and started screaming at her.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I yelled. Jasper grabbed me, growling. I let go of Alice and walked to Isabella. She was sitting on the floor, looking completely shocked. I grabbed a shirt and put it on her myself. "You okay?"

"Fine." She whispered.

"Alice what the hell is wrong with you?" I asked.

"The Volturi is coming here because of her." She said.

"What?"

"The Volturi is coming here..." She said. "They want to talk to you. And I can't see past that."

"So, you think the Volturi is coming here to talk to me and kill you all?" I asked.

"I can't see past that, so why not?" She asked.

Isabella stood up and ran her fingers through her hair. I told her to take a deep breath and relax. "I don't know what your problem is with me. If you hate me, fine. But I work for the Volturi. Why in the hell would they want to piss me off by hurting any of you. They talk to me for a reason, maybe another fight to go to. But I know that they would be too scared to piss me off. I've been with them for years. They know not to cross me. As for your reason you can't see past that, it's your problem. Do not blame me for your problems. It's rude." She said. "But once again, they're coming here for a reason. They're not going to kill you, let alone hurt you. They know me. Ask Jasper, he knows people shouldn't cross me."

With that, she walked away. I know she was probably fuming right now. I decided to let her cool off first before I went after her.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I asked Alice.

"I don't trust her." She said.

"Why?" I asked her.

"I don't know her. She's in the Volturi. You barely know her yourself."

"I've been with her everyday for the past three years. And I don't know her?" I asked. "I think this has something to do with Jasper and Isabella. What ever your problem there is, you need to figure it out. Because right now, you're losing me Ali."

I walked out of the house and followed Isabella's scent. She was sitting on a rock, looking straight in front of her. She was silent, which means she was either sad or still pissed. I sat next to her, without saying a word.

"Why does she hate me?" She asked.

"I don't know Bell." I said. "Do you want to leave?"

"No, I'm not leaving here because I'm upset. You need to stay with your family for a while. They haven't seen you." She said.

I hugged her and we sat there for twenty minutes. I asked her if she was ready to leave back to the house, but she wanted to talk to me first.

"If the Volturi is coming, I have to block your thoughts. Just in case Aro reads your mind."

"Why?"

"The whole I want to kill the Volturi thing. They can't know about that. I'm going to shield you. Edward won't be able to read your thoughts either.

"Do you know why their coming?" I asked.

"No idea. Hopefully it isn't about this war we're going to have." She said. "I'm shielding you now. I don't want Edward to know about it just yet."

"You're planning on asking my family..." I said, catching on to the 'yet'.

"Yes, I am. But they don't have to. It's volunteering." She said. "Come on, let's go."

We walked entirely back to the house, hand in hand. Isabella was hurt, so she was quiet. It was easy to read Isabella. I was always there to back her up or cheer her up. Either way, I knew she needed to smile once in a while. We immediately went upstairs to get dressed. Isabella was quiet the entire time. I hope she didn't blame herself for this small 'fight'.

She dressed in a teal halter top with blue jeans. Her heels were teal along with the big stoned ring and the bracelet. She put a teal bow in her hair with was let loosely down with small curls. She quickly painted her nails and did her makeup. Even though the outfit was simple, she looked beautiful. She always has.

I leaned down and kissed her cheek and led her downstairs. Alice wasn't in the room, which I was thankful for. Hopefully, Jasper put her in her place. She didn't need to attack Isabella. She should've asked first then fight later. It was a little weird though, Alice was never the mad kind. So it was a Isabella/Jasper thing. She was probably jealous.

Ha, Alice jealous...

Esme gave a small smile to Isabella. "We're going shopping, all the girls. You could come if you'd like."

I nudged her, wanting her to go with the girls. I wouldn't want her to be stuck with us guys here. I already got out my wallet and gave her my credit card.

"Okay." She said.

Esme smiled. The girls were getting ready to leave and I told Rosalie to make sure Alice didn't do anything to make Isabella upset. I think the next time Alice would be dead before Esme and Rosalie could stop her. I kissed Isabella good bye and hung out with the guys. I was praying that the shopping would be fun for the girls, not horrific.

Isabella's POV

I sat in the back seat with Rosalie, while Esme and Alice sat in the front. I stared outside the window the entire ride, even when the girls Esme and Rosalie would talk to me. Other than that, I kept quiet. I was really curious as to why the Volturi would be coming this way. I didn't know whether it was because they found out about my plans for them or they needed me for another fight.

And the problem with Alice not being able to see past that, I was afraid, truthfully. I didn't know whether it was the Volturi or not. To tell the truth, I was afraid.

We arrived at a clothing store, probably the most expensive store. Apparently, Alice was supposed to be the shopping queen. Though, she didn't seem like it. Maybe it was because of me. I did a small glance towards her. She had a small frown on, but she also seemed a little nervous. Esme and Rosalie were in the dressing room, changing into clothes. I was sitting on a couch, looking a dress that was sitting on a rack.

It was all black and silk chiffon. It was one shoulder long dress with a black band around the waist. It was perfect for my size, maybe even my face structure. Hopefully, it was something that I would be able to show off my body. I smirked when I thought about Emmett seeing me in that dress. He would love it... absolutely love it. Though, I didn't know if he would like. I'm sure he would, considering he always complimented me in any outfit, hell even if I was naked.

He truly loved me and I was too caught up in the past to realize that. Something about Emmett has intrigued me. He was loving, childish, freaking sexy, and mostly loving. He looked past the bad things that has happened with me. He was understanding...

I didn't realize I was smiling when Rosalie started to tease me. She was like a sister to me, even though I barely knew her. I was hoping I could feel the same way with Alice, but I knew it would take some time... A long time. Not many people get away with attacking me. Jasper is known as God of War. Well, I'm the Goddess. Jasper knew how I felt when people attacked me. Alice was lucky that I care for Jasper and his feelings, otherwise I would've blew her head straight off.

Really, that's all I've wanted to do. But I, of course, decided against it. Now, all I wanted from Alice was an apology. Usually, I'm not an apology person, but I couldn't do anything I wanted with Alice. No matter how much I wanted to, I couldn't. But the next time she pulled something off like that, I was going to kill her. And I've already warned Edward.

When I'm mad or sad, I become silent. Usually, I'm mad when I'm silent. Like today, while I was silently changing, I was fuming. If smoke could come out of my ears, I think I would suffocate the world. Jasper continuously tried to calm me down, which only made it worse. I almost decided to rip his head off, but he stopped because he knew better than to piss me off.

After my little pissy, bitch thoughts. I walked over to the dress that I was staring at. I touched the dress, feeling the silk rub against my cold hands. Emmett loved the color red on me. Since the dress was all black, I could get some red heels and jewelery to go with it.

I felt someone tap my shoulder and I turned around. Alice..

I bit my tongue, trying not to scream at her for even touching me. "Yes?" I said in my sweetest sarcastic voice.

"You're going to get the dress." She said. "And Emmett will like it, of course. So you might as well buy it now before we leave."

"If this is your attempt of being nice to me, it's not working. Try again." I said. "But let me tell you something first, Miss Alice. People who touch me, never really get away with it. The only rest why you're still alive, is because I don't want Jasper to be upset and Emmett would probably hate me. Now, I love those two, especially Emmett. Jasper is like my brother. I don't want to lose that. You piss me off like that again, you won't see the next second. It's going to take a lot of convincing that you're even worth talking to. And remember, who you're dealing with, because I'm not very nice or fun to be around when I'm mad. Ask Emmett. Now, you might go home and run to your 'brother' or husband that I threatened you, but I don't care. Hell, I'll even tell them myself. I don't play around, Mrs. Whitlock. Make sure that is clear in your mind." I grabbed the dress from the rack. "Thanks for the advice."

I walked away with the dress in my hands. Now I just needed to get some shoes and jewelry with it. Maybe at a different store. I knew Emmett would probably be upset with me, but I could care less.

We paid for our items and walked to a shoe store. I wanted new shoes, since I was a big hoarder for shoes. I even had my own closet for my shoes. If Emmett and I were to move into the same room when we got back, he was going to have to deal with my shoes.

Now that I was in a room full of shoes, I was in my personal heaven. I found black pumps that had little roses craved into it. They were absolutely perfect and would go perfectly with my dress.

"The guys are going to take us out for a date tonight. We're all going as a group." I heard Alice say.

Great... now I was stuck with Alice tonight. The others I didn't mind, Alice I did mind.

After buying the pair of shoes, we went to a jewelery store. I bought a matching necklace and bracelet. I already had a pair of earrings, so I didn't need any.

After our small shopping trip, we loaded the car and headed back to the house. I sat in the front with Esme. She was a nice woman, like Emmett said. Maybe I could have that mother figure after all.

We arrived at the house ten minutes later. I immediately walked over to Emmett. He kissed me then started playing around with my neck. I laughed when he picked me up and wrapped my legs around his waist.

"Did you have a nice shopping trip?" He asked while kissing my neck.

"Yes, I did. It was very interesting." I said. "I got a new dress."

"Ooo, do I get to see it tonight?" He asked.

"Of course." I said. "I'll think you'll like it. Though it doesn't show much."

"Aww, little disappointment." He pouted. I laughed and smacked his chest.

I started to walk upstairs before I turned around and looked at Emmett. "I threatened Alice by the way. You should ask her why."

He raised his eyebrow and I just walked upstairs. She deserved it, attacking me then trying to be nice to me. I'm not like that. She needs to beg for my forgiveness. And I know you're listening Edward... I heard his small chuckle and I rolled my eyes. Sometimes, I would put my shield down when I'm comfortable or just wanted to tell someone something. Usually, I would have it up, almost all the time. After I said my little comment, I blocked mine and Emmett's mind.

I hung the dress in the closet and hid everything else. I heard Emmett come up the stairs and close the door. I guess Miss Alice decided to tell him what I said. He came into the closet and stood behind me.

"She told me." He said, holding my waist.

"And let me guess, you're upset because I threatened her whereas she attacked me this morning and didn't even try to apologize. Even though I don't take apologies, it would be nice to hear one because she would have made an effort, yet she didn't." I said. "So I have every right to be upset."

"Damn you are sexy when you're angry." He said.

"Ugh." I said, pushing him off of me. "Focus Emmett."

"I'm sorry Bells, but it's true." He shrugged. I rolled my eyes and walked off to the bed. "Alright, alright. The four of us need to talk. We'll figure something out, I promise. Now, where were we?"

"You are unbelievable." I said as he pushed me down. We started to kiss and Emmett got me all worked up for nothing because Jasper came strolling in with Alice tagging behind him.

I rolled my eyes and rolled off of Emmett. "I didn't mean now Jasper." Emmett whined.

"Oh well, we need to talk." Jasper said. I glared at him, he was going to get it later and he knew it. He sat on the couch with Alice.

Emmett and I looked at each other before moving to the couch. Alice looked directly at me, though there was a small sense of fear in her eyes.

"Alice?" Jasper asked, trying to move her on.

She looked at him before looking at me. "I'm sorry, Isabella. I attacked you before asking any questions and it was wrong. I know you probably won't expect this, I just care about my family at all times. I hope you can forgive in the time your here."

I narrowed my eyes at her, not sure of what to say. "Alice I didn't come here to get anybody killed, that's for damn sure. It kind of hurt when you thought I was that type of person still. I don't know exactly if you did if because of this fling I had with Jasper or because you were jealous or if it was because of the Volturi. I don't know, you could be lying for all I care. And really, I would love to rip that pretty little head of yours off. I hate it when people assume I'm something I'm not. No, I don't forgive you. I'm a hard shell and I think I'll be like that for a while with you. I am a changed person, as well as Jasper. You should treat me like you would Rosalie, but you screwed that up this morning. Now, you should treat me like... like Jane for the time being. It's going to take a lot more than a small apology. That truly hurt me, really it did. And now it's time for you to fix that. And yes, I'm afraid. I know the Volturi wouldn't backstab me by hurting you all. But why in the hell would they want you dead? If they want you dead, they're dead. It's how it works. And with that, I highly doubt they're here for you. As for your future problem, that's on you, not me." I looked at Emmett. "You got anything to say?"

"No, she already knows how I feel."

I looked to Jasper next. "Jasper, I'll admit, I'm surprised. The Major has fallen, really he has. And so have I. And you know exactly what I mean."

He nodded. Alice and Jasper stood up and walked out of the room.

"What do you mean the Major has fallen and so have you?" Emmett asked.

"You'll find out later." I said. "I believe we were in the middle of something."

He narrowed his eyes at me before his smirk came across his face. This was going to be fun...

About two hours later, I was changing with the girls in Esme's room. I was staring at myself in the mirror, not sure how I wanted my makeup. I decided on red lipstick and shadowed makeup. Rosalie helped put long curls in my hair and pin it up a little. I slipped on my black dress and looked in the mirror. I decided against putting makeup on all of my scars. The only thing I asked Rosalie to put makeup over was my tattoo. I hated that thing on my back and always hid it, even if Emmett said it was alright. It's something from my human memory that made it painful.

I rubbed the silky dress down and finally walked down the stairs to the waiting guys. Emmett had a goofy grin on his face and then Edward punched him in the stomach.

"What'd you say?" I asked him.

"Ha ha, nothing." He laughed. "Eddy only knows."

"Come on, young ones, let's have some fun." Esme said.

We went to a restaurant, sort of like Moonlight. Of course we weren't going to eat anything, we were just going to talk, have a good time. I'm sure they were going to ask me a lot of questions. I ordered some wine and Jasper laughed at me. He knew why I drank wine, even though it wouldn't do anything.

The Volturi would be stopping by tomorrow and they wanted to know why.

"As I said before, I work for the Volturi when and only when they truly need me. Other than that, I go my own way." I said.

"How often do you have to go with them?" Rosalie asked.

"Depending on the situation, not often. When it's a vampire being careless, I have to go. When it's a vampire making newborns, I have to go."

"And Jasper said you're a shield? Correct?" Carlisle asked.

"Yes. There's an invisible bubble around me physical and mentally. I can stop an attack by putting up the shield on top of expanding my shield to kill an enemy. It's like a conceret block hitting you that is able to kill you. The Volturi know that it's a powerful gift that could be used against them. That's why they try so hard to keep me at their side. Otherwise, I would be able to kill them." I said. Emmett gave me an amused look. Luckily I was blocking his thoughts right now.

"I like that gift." Edward said. "I don't have to listen to Emmett's disgusting mind all the time."

"Can you tell us about your human life?" Carlisle asked.

I looked down at my wine glass. Staring into absolutely nothing.

Flashback- 1754

"Mother?" I called out. "Mother where are you?"

I spent my time walking into the house, coming from the mayor's house. I had been there to receive a letter that has come from my brother, Elijah, who was sent to war. The French and Indian war, that is. I would always receive letters to make sure that he was alright, living, and healthy. Mother would read them as well, so she would feel better about herself.

Most of the time, she would blame herself for his well-being. However, I knew it was his decision of joining the military. Even though he knew how I felt about his choice.

I was excited to read his letter. It's been months since the last one. Sometimes mother and I would read it together, which I wanted it to be the day.

"Mother?" I called out again.

I turned around the corner to see a man holding my mother. He turned his head towards me and I see blood spilling out of his mouth. I screamed and ran towards the door. I heard the man chase me, however, I was able to step outside. It was bright today and I saw him stop at my door step.

A vampire.

End of Flashback

"Did you ever find out who the vampire was?" Esme asked.

"Yes." I said. "It was Caius."

If you guys haven't noticed yet, I love ending with a cliffhanger.
