Emmett's POV

I was able to get to Isabella, only because my body received a small boost from the excitement and happiness I felt when Isabella was pulled down the stairs. Never in my life did I ever think I would actually be happy to see Caius with Isabella. I heard him say to thank Bree for this and I mentally laughed.

Knowing Isabella, she probably told Bree to save all of us and forget about saving her. Bree, probably looking us to Isabella, convinced Caius to get Isabella to us, not to keep us separated. And if we could really trust Bree, she was the savior of our lives. I just wanted to wait and see what would happen.

I felt Isabella roll towards my side. Then she started to sob. I knew how she was feeling, I didn't need to be a mind-reader nor an empathy to figure that out. She thinks this is her fault. That everything that's happened to everyone here that got hurt was her fault. Yet it wasn't. Nothing has happened to any of us. We've just been lying here for the past four years.

"Shh…" I whispered.

Isabella started to move around, but I had to try and hold her down. Mainly because she was going to get weaker and weaker and I knew that she will throw herself at someone to protect us all. But now that she was here, it was my turn. I will do anything to protect all of these.

Even if it killed me.

Bree's POV

After Caius yanked Isabella down the stairs, he walked away somewhere, maybe to his wife. He looked at me, questioningly, but I knew I would play it off well. As Aro says, I'm Caius's "favorite". So he hardly questioned me.

Isabella specifically told me to leave her alone and save the others, it wasn't going to do much for her to get saved. However, the moment I met Isabella, she reminded me of myself. She was confident, but also caring. She cared about others, as to why she wanted to get away from the Volturi.

The Volturi were ruthless, they could care less about the last of their vampires. And it was true. Every single person in that cell was the last of the "good" vampires. Everyone else either working for the Volturi, or a newborn, whom the Volturi wanted to kill. Of course there was a hit list made for the guards to kill. I was supposed to be there, yet I've decided to stay. When I did stay, that's when I met Isabella.

I secretly walked to the basement to see if it was true, that the Volturi was holding many vampires, and it was. That's when I've decided to help Isabella and the others.

Now that I was able to get Isabella with the others, I was slowly going to start getting blood into their cell. How? I honestly had no idea. The way I could go into the cell was to tell the Volturi I was checking on the "shield" that I put around their cell, which I didn't do. Luckily for me, Aro wasn't able to read my mind and they believed that my shield was invisible to their eye. So, I had a huge advantage. Because of this, I was confident in getting Isabella and the others out.

I now walked around the mansion, which was placed in Russia.

"Bree." I heard Aro say behind me. I turned around and plastered a fake smile to my face.

"Yes Master?" I asked.

"What are you doing, sweetheart? You look lost. Do you need something to do?" He questioned.

"I am trying to figure out what Isabella is planning. I've had Caius to move her to the basement. To make her certain that she will not do anything. The minute she does, the same minute one of her followers get killed. Now that she's down there, nothing has happened. I'm wondering what she's thinking." I said.

Aro gave a small smile, but the look in his eye seemed sad. Aro told me many stories of Isabella and Domini. But he had much more stories of Isabella. He's told me from the beginning of how he met her and how she has changed the way the Volturi has worked. Then he told me of how she betrayed him and how it's hit him the hardest. He has always loved Isabella, but had to break away that relationship when he found out that she's been betraying him.

Sometimes I think that's why he has changed me. My brown curly hair, my heart-shaped face. Everything about me was close to Isabella. He was trying to replace me with her.

"We'll figure something out." I told him, smiling at him.

I walked away after giving a small bow and tried to figure out a plan to sneak blood into their cells. After an hour of figuring out a plan, I told Caius that I would be going down to the basement to make sure my shield was strong enough to hold all of them. Maybe to even work on expanding my shield.

When I walked down, Emmett, as I known to be Isabella's lover, was holding Isabella. She seemed content, much more relaxed than she was when she was upstairs with Caius. Then again, who would be?

Emmett looked at me. I gave him a small nod to show that I was on his side. I needed to move quickly, to make sure that they would be in the clear when they make their escape. Maybe I could get the blood by a packet a day, something. They needed to be strong in order to get them out quickly. Or give it to the men and they carry the women. It was much more complex than I thought.

I sighed and walked back up the stairs from the basement, not to make myself suspicious. Caius was just walking by the basement door. I quietly nodded at him, indicating that the shield was still "up."

For a complete hour, I sat and thought of a plan. Getting blood wasn't the problem, secretly getting the blood out to the others and showing that they were no longer weak was the problem. Then I thought of another possible plan.

I was strong, capable of standing on my own for once. I could give blood to the others then put up a shield to protect the others while we escaped. The only problem would be that the Volturi would know I betrayed them, the Volturi could follow us, and I didn't know how long I could hold the shield up.

I sighed and laid back in my bed, in my room. It was hard to figure all of this out, alone. Especially since I was so young. I didn't know any better, from anything, really. I was new, for everything.

I heard someone knock on my door. It was either Caius or Alec. Alec and Jane were changed around the same age I was. Since he was so young, he believed no one would be able to love him. Then I was changed. He constantly talked to me, flirted with me. I was pretty sure he was in love with me.

"Come in." I said. It was Alec. He smiled at me. His dark hair covering his eyes. His excitement to see me was… unbearable.

"Hello Bree." He said. He sat next to me, his red eyes shimmering with anticipation.

"Hello Alec." I said, almost monotonic.

"What's wrong? You're usually happy… to see m-, to see anyone." He said. "Aro thinks something is wrong with you. He says you're not happy, or stressed. Is Caius stressing you?"

"Alec, please." I said. "I'm fine."

"It's that Isabella isn't it?" He said. "She's doing something, you just don't know what. I don't see why Caius just won't kill her."

I shrugged my shoulders and closed my eyes. I felt Alec lay next to me and sighed.

"Do you mind?" He asked.

Yes. "No." I whispered.

When I opened my eyes, he was lying next to me, his eyes watching my every move. They were sincere, curious, filled with love and passion. I didn't see what Alec saw in me. I was a normal, plain vampire. Nothing else.

We looked at each other for a while, before he decided to lean over and kiss me. I simply kissed him back, for my personal reasons. I wasn't aging anymore. I was going to start feeling like Jane. Young and no one would love me in the near future. Alec was the only young male as well. Might as well, right?

For about five minutes of intense kissing, we were interrupted by Aro. He just walked in and paused. We had to properly fix ourselves before he called Alec out to talk to him. I didn't look at Aro's eyes, mainly because I was nervous.

I stayed in the room, still trying to figure out a plan for Isabella. For the rest of the night, Alec came back to the room to stay with me. Before we went to bed, he would randomly kiss my neck or my cheek, rub my back, and all these other things. It was relaxing. Something I haven't felt in a long time.

When I awakened in the morning, I felt refresh, relaxed. Alec was still in the room, sleeping. I walked to my closet to get changed and walked out of the room. I'm sure Ale would find me later.

Soon, I reached the basement door and walked inside. Isabella was still not moving, as well as the others. Some of them looked at me, most of them in disgust. But the others who knew about me were happy to see me.

I smiled at me and gave a small nod. I was still working on this plan to sneak them out. Maybe if I could get Alec to love me enough, he would help me get Isabella out. But the question was, how loyal was he compared to him loving me? Which would he choose? And another problem, Jane. Those two are very close, unusually close. I questioned their relationship, really. They seemed like lovers instead of brother and sister at times. And I highly doubt Alec would choose me over Jane.

I opened the cell door then leaned down towards Isabella.

"Just give me more time." I whispered. "We'll be alright."

I heard someone walk down the stairs and I quickly stood up, trying to make it seem like I was walking around, checking on them. But it was just Alec. I smiled at him and walked to him, closing the cell door after me.

"Good morning." I said.

"Morning." He smiling at me.

"Just checking on them. Making sure they haven't changed much." I said. He leaned over and kissed my cheek. "Let me finish here and we can do something, anything."

He nodded at me and walked up the stairs, closing the door. I walked back to Isabella and leaned over. Just before I was about to speak, she started talking.

"Don't… trust him…" She whispered. "He'll kill… you."

"I can trust him. Not with my life, but it's something. Trust me on this." I whispered back.

"You're young… naïve. He's… using you." She said.

I nodded, but slightly didn't believe her. Although she's been around him the longest, I believed Alec wasn't using me. I was highly sure of it. He's been bothering me since the moment I awakened as a vampire.

I walked up the stairs, trying to find Alec.

"Master Caius." I heard him say. "She was in the basement. It looked like she was whispering to Isabella. I'm starting to believe she is on Isabella's side."

"Figure it out. Do whatever it takes. She seems to like you." Caius said. "Go on."

My body stilled for a split second and I ran away. Isabella was right. Alec was using me. I chucked on the inside. Now it was my turn to use him.

Alec came to find me and kissed my cheek with a fake smile on his face. I mentally rolled my eyes and kissed him back.

"What would you like to do today Miss Bre." He asked.

"Hmmm… anything you have in mind." I said, smiling. I kissed his nose and grabbed his hand to run out of the house.

We both faked laughed, faked smiled, and much more. We were running through the forests in Russia till we ran into town. Alec hid our cloaks in the trees and I tried to make him look as normal as possible. We walked into town, holding hands, looking around at stores, having a good time. Too bad it was fake. Too bad he was trying to break my secret out. Too bad he was being played as well.

Alec told me he had to be back a certain time and just wanted to walk back. I'm sure he would press some questions out of me.

We held hands as we started to walk back to the house. I leaned over and kissed his cheek a couple times, just to make him feel bad.

"So, Bree. Any deep, dark secrets you've ever had?" He asked bluntly.

On the inside, I laughed. "No. Plus, I'm horrible at lying and keeping secrets. Do you have any?"

"Not easy to keep secrets with Aro around, so of course not. Is there anything you didn't want anyone to know?"

"Why do you keep asking?" I asked. I paused and turned towards him. "Do you think I'm hiding something?"

"No. It's just…"

"Tell me Alec." I said. "I need to know. It's Caius, isn't it? He's never liked me deep down inside…"

"No, Bree… It's nothing. Caius is just paranoid." He said. "He just… he's paranoid."

"Is this what this day was about? You taking me out somewhere to make me happy… to make me fall in love with you so you could ask me my deepest secrets because Caius thinks I'm hiding something? You were helping Caius… you don't love me…" I said. Alec's face immediately broke apart. And it was real. But he deserved it. If I didn't hear his and Caius's conversation, I would have thought this was real. But it wasn't.

I shook my head at him, stepping backwards, letting go his hand. "Stay away from me Alec." I said. "Whatever Caius thinks I'm doing… I'm not."

I started to walk away until he grabbed me. He was sad, hurt. But it was his own damn fault. He was about to say something until I shook my head and decided to run all the way back to the house. Half way there, I smiled. I was slowly going to destroy the Volturi, from the inside out.

When I reached the house, Alec showed up about ten minutes ago and went straight to Caius. I eavesdropped their conversation.

"She isn't hiding anything, Master Caius." Alec said. He sounded how he felt, depressed.

"What makes you so sure?" Caius asked.

"I just know. She's pure… She's with us." Alec whispered. Then immediately walked out of the room. I smiled and walked back out of the house.

Aro ran into me as I was leaving. I just told him I was going to go kill someone out of anger, then I told him about what happened with Alec and Caius. I've never seen Aro so angry before. He was hurt that Caius thought I was betraying them.

After Aro let me go, I ran straight to a nearby town. I stood in the forest, trying to figure out who to get. Then I realized that not all of them drank human blood. But it has been four years of nothing. Animal blood was not going to help them at all.

I was about to kill someone until I decided I didn't need to. I could just go to a hospital, which would be much easier and no one would have to die. And since it was night time, I could easily sneak in and out.

The hospital was quiet, almost empty. If I waited around 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning, it would be entirely empty. But I was a vampire. I was quick enough.

A nurse walked out of the parking lot and went into her car. I decided to sit in her car and slam her head into the dashboard, but not hard enough to kill her, just hard enough to knock her unconscious and long enough to let me take her nursing clothes.

Luckily, she was close to my size. I then pulled my hair down, almost covering my face and put the personnel name tag on. This would make it easier to enter restricted areas. I believe where all the blood supplies were was restricted, but I wasn't nervous about anything.

I walked into the hospital, coming up from the elevator. There was a nurse setting at the desk, typing on the computer. She merely looked up at me for a split moment until the phone started ringing. I turned my head and continued to walk to the blood supply room. I know it's somewhere probably down the basement or near the pharmacy area.

I cautiously walked around the hospital, facing away from cameras and personnel. I think wearing a nurse's outfit helped me walk around where I needed to go. For a while, I hated being inside of this hospital. I was about to ask a nurse where the blood supply room was, however I was able to find a doctor carrying the blood bags into the room. I smiled and waited for the doctor to come out of the room. When he did, I walked straight into the room.

The room had tons of blood bags, plenty for everyone. Though I wasn't going to take all of it. I was going to keep ones that were plentiful, like AB bags and A. Not B, as much as possible. Fortunately, I found bags in order to carry this.

I quickly packed the bags and walked out of the room, after making sure no one was around. Easily, I walked through the halls, making it seem like I was leaving from my shift. The nurses looked at me, probably because I was so young. One asked me what I was doing her, and I told her I was an intern for Samantha Coleman, the nurse I took the clothes from. The nurse nodded, probably seeming like Samantha gave me the name tag.

Once I finally reached the outside, I ran straight to the forest lines. I was debating whether I was going to immediately go Isabella and feed them or whether I was going to hide the bags somewhere else and keep building it up. But I wouldn't know where to put them.

Then I thought I should just hide them, give them the blood at once or give it to them by little. Either way, everyone needs some. I dug a deep hole three miles out from the mansion, but kept one bag with me. I walked straight into the house, after ditching the nurse's clothes.

Aro came walking down the stairs, looking for me.

"Bree…" He said. "Where have you been?"

"In a hospital." I admitted. "Found a lot of people. Yet couldn't kill any of them. Found a nurse's outfit and walked around in the hospital… It's very quiet during the nights…"

Aro nodded and told me that he talked to Caius. Apparently, Caius, which is something he would never do, wanted to apologize to me.

I hesitated but walked away to find Caius. Doing so, I ran into Alec, but forcibly kept my head down. He needed to see how I felt about him lying to me. He hurts my feelings, I hurt his.

I walked into Caius's room, knocking on the door.

"Master Caius?" I asked.

"Come in, Bree." He whispered. I walked into the room, careful of not showing the bag in my robe nor smashing it. "I wanted to apologize."

"For what?" I asked.

"For asking Alec to get into your head. He purely liked you… truthfully. It was my own act that was getting in the way of… this relationship of you two." He finally turned for me. "I hope I can fix this act of mine."

"I forgive you, Master Caius." I said. "You have to trust me. You just have to. Otherwise, this will not relationship of ours… it will not work." I sat next to him and grabbed his hands. "You have to trust me, Caius. Okay?"

He nodded at me and I finally walked away to the basement, to start giving them blood.

Emmett's POV

she had to stay still.

"Stop… moving." I whispered. She whimpered and kept still.

Suddenly I heard the basement door open. I felt uneasy about the basement door opening. I almost decided to pick up Isabella and throw her on the other side of the room, but I wasn't strong enough for it.

I watched the basement light come on, then saw Bree's dark brown hair and had relief.

She quickly opened the cell door and started to look around the place. Then she looked at me. What was she doing?

She bent down towards me and pulled out something.

"It's blood." She whispered. "I suggest you use it wisely. I'm giving it to you first…"

She opened the blood bag and the smell of the blood was intensely strong. I believe all of us immediately groaned. Once she put the bag to my mouth, I could tell it was human blood. But I didn't use it wisely. The more she gave me, the more I felt myself getting stronger. And all it took was one bag.

This was it. It was time.
