Once again I apologize. The more you review the faster that I get out new chapters, but it is hard for me to write with my hectic school sechudale. If I get enough reviews by this weekend I will try to write a new chapter while at my debate tourament. Now to the good stuff.

Last Time:
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.
Chapter 10
I glance toward the door and wondered what my chances were of bolting and facing Aro on my own. "Not good Ella." Edward said. I had forgot about him.
Alice had seen the plan formulating in my mind, "Ella that is a bad idea. It leads to you in their power again and Carthony dead." That plan was quickly dismissed. But I had to do something. I couldn't let them be slaughtered.
Carthony's arms were tightening. I looked up at his face. It was filled with so many different emotions. "Ella," he said in a quite rational tone, "Can we please talk?" His newly buttersouch eyes were looking at me as if he were pleading with me not to set him aside.
I glanced around to all of my family. One by One looking into each of their eyes. "May we have a moment?" I asked Carlisle.
He nodded and turned to Esme, who replied in her sweet motherly tone, "We will go upstairs and work on your guys room." As quick as lightening they were gone. Bella carried up in Edward's arms.
My eyes found their way to Carthony's face again. "What did Aro do to you, Elliana?" I knew he wanted to know. I knew he deserved to know, but I could not speak of it.
I shook my head. My eyes looking deep into his. "Carthony, I can't talk about it." I said.
He seemed to understand. He picked me up and held me in his lap. His fingers moved through my hair, taking it out of Alice's careful braiding. We were scilent for a long time. The only noice in the room coming from upstairs, where they quite pounding of hammers could be heard. "Elliana, please, please do not do anything that would take you away from me. You know how much I love you. I can't loose you again. You drive a man wild, Elizella Anne Howard, I mean Cullen. You are one of them now."
I traced his lips softly with my finger before kissing him gently, "We both are, Carthony. They are our family now."
Even here, in the twenty-first century, we could not be free of our background. Our life at court, had perhaps altered us forever, "Lady Elizella," Carthony said without thinking. In difficult times I often resorted to speaking my native tounge. It is no wonder he did too. "You know how much your person means to myself. Yea indeed I value it more highly than my own. For you are the sun, which my world revolves around. When it was told to me that you were dead. I could not bare the greif myself. I tried to kill myself. I was reckless, but and because of my misdoings had myself sentenced to life on this earth forever. I wanted to go mad, my fair lady. For I did not have you. But now, I have found you. My heart and soul are reunited. I am at last one. You are my everything, my goddess. I beg thy permission to speak with thy father for thy hand in most holy matormony."
I was stunned, sclient. It had been so long since I had heard Elizabethan flow from anyone's lips that were not in a Shakespearing play. It in fact took me a moment to comprehend what he was saying to my. He wanted to marry. Marry me. He wanted me to be his one and only true wife. I was couldn't bring myself to form any words for a good five minutes. The house was completely scilent as everyone upstairs held their breaths to see what I would say. Well except for Bella's quiet breathing. Finally my mind was able to find the words to say. I opened my mouth to respond.

So, it's short, but I hope I have you on the edge of your seats now. Review and the faster Ella's reply will come. Ten by Friday, and I promise I will try my best to have it here Saturday.
