Okay, so it has been like forever since i have updated. I don't know what to say but sorry. I got caught up in school and then I had alot to do this summer. So here is the long over due update.

------------------------------------------------

Chapter 9

Carthony rushed toward me. "Ella what is the matter?" he asked. I felt his arms wrap around me. But I was not there. I was there watching as Aro came and attacked our family.

"This can't happen." Alice and I whispered simultaneously. I knew that everyone was stairing at her.

"Ella what can't happen?" Carthony asked. I saw his face for the first time. It was filled with worry, concern. "Ella please tell me." Downstairs I could hear Jasper saying something similar to Alice.

"Aro." We said again. "He is coming for us." Carthony picked me up from where I lay immobile and carried me down to my, no our, family.

"Why is he coming?" I heard Edward ask. "Why? We haven't done anything wrong." I knew why he was coming. It was all my fault. I had to tell my family. They don't have to stand by me. They don't have to be killed. Not like my last family. Not like Nevic.

"It is my fault. He is after me." They turned and looked at me, each face displaying a different level of confussion. "I have spent time in Volterra with the Volturi. When I was young. I learned to much and then left. Aro has been after me ever sence. Swearing to have me and my talent back in his grasp. He wants to come and aquire. You have Edward, Alice, and Jasper. He would want them all. He will want Bella's potential talent. He will want me, and I dare say he wants Carthony. He will come with some trumped up charge. He will come to kill the useless and to aquire. We can't let this happen. We can't. I have seen it to many times to let it happen to someone I love." It was the longest speech I have given while I was here and everyone seemed a bit shocked. Only Carthony was able to keep his composure.

"Ella, Alice you need to brief us all on what is going to happen. Then we need to create a plan. To help stop and to help save us."

"That's just it." Alice said looking at Carthony. "We don't know what Aro is going to do. He knows of our talents and he is making discions spontaously. So Ella and I can't see."

Carthony shook his head, "Then we have to make a plan. We just have to think of what it is."

"I could leave. That would be best for everyone. Then they would come after me and not any of you." I said.

It took no time at all for everyone to protest that they wanted me to stay even if it meant a fight with the Volturri. Poor little Bella, she was so confused. She had no idea who this power of the vampire world was. "Umm, I hate to intrude at such a time, but who are the…" Her faced scrumched up as she tried to pronouse the unfamilir word, "Volturi."

Jasper, who unlike me, respected them started to answer right away. "They are like the kings of our world. There are three of them Marcus, Caius, and Aro. And the wives. Then they have there guard who are comprised of the elite of our kind. People with talents."

Alice cut in, "Talents that would make what I do look like a card trick compared to a great escape."

I shook my head, "Don't underestimate yourself Alice. You are more talented than that. Aro will want you."

Jasper ignored us, and continued with his praise, "They clean out the people who break the rules of our world and punish those who deserve it."

Bella looked worried. "There are rules? Why didn't anyone tell me? What are they?"

Edward pulled Bella closer to him and gently kissed her forehead, "Love, there is really only one rule. Surely you know what it is. It is fairly simple." She shook her head, so he smiled and said, "Keep the secret."

"Ohhh." Blood started to pool in her cheecks, "I knew that."

Carthony had been quite throughout the conversation with Bella. Though he held me close, and nussled his face in my hair, "Elliea, what happened when you were with the Volturri?"

I was quite, even my thoughts were still for just a moment. Did I dare to remenber that time? The time I had spent in the pit of hell. Edward looked toward me intently, "Ella, why do you say that? What happened when you were in Volterra."

Nine pairs of curious eyes staired at me. I had to tell them, but did I have the strength. Did I dare? I had no choice. I had too. "You see, Aro loves pretty talented things. They are like shinny jewels to him. And he craves them, wants them. He heard about me, when I was about ten years old. He heard about my talent. I had met Alec, and he told Aro of my potential and how I could help. But I turned down all offers to join them. So Aro desided to charge my clan with having an imortal child.

It wasn't true. The three older ones I lived with had been around during the time of them and seen the distruction they cause. They would never have one. When the Volturri arrived they did not try to reason they set to work. My talent was not as formed as it was now. Then I could only see the past and did not know they were coming for us. Our clan was me, a couple, Arena and Alm ond, then an older gentlemen. The oldest of our clan. He had found me and he was my "father." No he did not create me, but he trained me in all the ways of our world. They slaughtered them all. They offered me pardon, a place among them. I refused. I spit in Aro's face and told him to kill me insetead. I did not wish to be apart of such a group of murders."

I heard the sharp intake of breath at what I had done to Aro, "Surely he didn't take that well." Edward was nearly at the edge of his seat, enjoying the story. I was glad someone liked it. I knew Carthony didn't for I felt his grip tightening around me.

"No, he did not. But he didn't kill me or let me go. He took me against my wishes and held as a prisoner. They took me to Volterra. They trained me to use my power to see the future. It was hard, but Jane provides good m otivation. I wouldn't revel what I saw. So Aro would come into where I was held and touch my hand, so that they would know. I could keep no secrets. He did not respect my lifestyle in drinking animal blood. He would wait till I was so deprived I would pounce on anything and then put a human in the room with me." Venom ran down my cheeks, and my body heaved tearless sobs as I continued, "I couldn't help myself, I couldn't." I was sobbing tohard to speak now.

Jasper just sat there, in denial almost, "How could they do that to you? They are supposed to be our protectors, not tourture till they get what they want. They have abused there power."

Carthony's grip had tightened around me as he held me. Stroking my hair. But there was something ridgid about his posture. I heard Edward say quietly, "Carthony that isn't such a great idea."

"I don't care, I'm going to kill him." I heard him say. His voice overflowing with emotion.

It was a good thing I hadn't got to the next part of the story. The part when Aro…abused me. I tried not to say the word, but I couldn't help the images from flowing back. I heard Edward's jaw snap. Apperently Carthony wasn't the only one killing Aro now too.

"Ella…" He said. His voice curious warning.

"I told you he likes pretty little talented things." Jane likes it. I added in my thoughts.

"That's it. I'm going to kill him." Guess Aro is the new dead man walking.
