Evelyn's p.o.v

"Aro, please stop this." Carlisle pleaded.

"If you want you can leave, but I just need to see it with my own eyes." Aro replied to his friend," you understand don't you? I won't let Jane kill her or your son."

Jane gave her master a nod.
I had to be careful, she was very dangerous. If she hurts me or Jasper I don't know what I'll do.
The only thing I knew for sure was that she would stay away from Carlisle.

"Jane felt quite angry after discovering her powers had no effect on your cousin Bella." Caius casually said to me from across the room," but I'm sure she won't encounter that problem with you."

I couldn't help but grind my teeth.
I didn't have enough strength to do the same thing to Jane as I had done to Chelsea.
But that was fine by me, because as far as I was concerned Chelsea was more dangerous in a weird way than Jane.

Jane's angry eyes did not look at me. I followed her gaze and my eyes widened when I saw who she was looking at.
Jasper didn't look away…

"Pain" Jane's surprisingly soft child-like voice echoed through the room.

Jasper started to scream and fell to the ground.
His voice full of pain echoed inside my mind, it hurt so much. I could feel it cutting me.
Is this how he had felt when I was…dying?

I jumped between my Jasper, squirming on the floor and Jane who was still glaring at him.

"Stop it!" I shouted.

I ran up to Jane and wrapped my hands around her neck, forcing her to look at me" you will leave Jasper alone! You touch my man one more time and I swear I will kill you!"

Jaspers screaming stopped and Carlisle ran over to him.

Jane's eyes widened, she leashed out with one of her hands and scratched me in face.
She glared at me and with her last strength she found her way to my mind.

Immediately I released her and placed my hands against my head.

It burns!
Make it stop!

I screamed from the top of my lungs.
I remembered this pain, the daggers…the fire!
Where am I? Am I dying again?
No, no I can't.
Jasper!


"Aro, if you value our friendship at all, you will stop this now!" Carlisle yelled as he grabbed hold of Aro's arm.

"Jane, that's enough." Aro ordered.

I felt the pain slipping away.
In a second I opened my eyes and saw Jane looking at me with an annoying smile plastered on her face.

"Evy, no!" Jasper yelled, but it was too late. My anger level was too high and my newborn faze reentered.

"Inflict pain on your twin brother!" I ordered Jane.

Without hesitation she turned around to a surprised Alec who fell to the ground, crying out in pain.
It was the only sound which sounded throughout the room.

Someone pulled me up, pulled me towards Jane and placed me between her and Alec.

"Stop her!" A voice said.

"Jane, stop obeying my last command." I said.

The screaming stopped.

The person, who had pulled me up from the floor, threw me against a wall.
Cracks appeared where my back had collided with the stone surface.
I jerked my head up and saw Marcus, of all people, return to his seat.

"Bloody hell..." I muttered.

Jasper came rushing towards me,
"Darlin', are you alright?" he asked with concern.

"Peachy…" I replied as I pulled myself up with help from my mate," I'm sorry I let her hurt you… I should have been quicker. I should have known she would target you!"

Jasper pulled me against him and embraced me with his strong arms," Hush. There's nothing you could have done to prevent it."

Carlisle appeared next to us, and together the three of us looked at the three leaders of the Volturi.

"She's a danger to all of us!" Caius said enraged," her powers are unstable. She could turn us all against each other!"

Aro didn't reply to his fellow leader, instead he turned to Marcus," and what say you, brother?"

Marcus brought his hands together and looked at me," her persuasion is anything BUT unstable, we've all read the Journal. She controls it perfectly…"
He stopped for a moment to stand up and walk towards Aro,
"it is her Newborn rage that kicked in this time. Her anger is what drove her to make Jane attack Alec."

Feeling quite scared at the moment I turned my head to Carlisle,
"what is he trying to say, Carlisle?"

"I'm not sure Evy…"

"You're lying." Jasper said to him.

Carlisle sighed," I'm afraid they might not let you leave…" he said to me.

I felt Jaspers embrace tighten.
So this is how it was going to end? We were going to wait until the Volturi leaders decided what to do with me?
Keep me, kill me or let me go…

I couldn't help but let my eyes scan the people in the room.
Jane was standing next to her brother, looking at me, ready to strike again. I guess she hated me now as much as she hates Bella.
Alec on the other hand didn't look at me at all.

I could see Chelsea apposite me in the corner looking rather frustrated.
I couldn't help but smirk…apparently it had worked.
She couldn't alter our relationships to each other and she was still trying to figure out why she couldn't.
Her mouth twitched a couple of times as her eyes shifted from us three to Aro.

Demetri and Felix stood side by side at the doors which led back to the hall.
The hallway I so desperately wanted to go to, walk through and out the front door back home to Forks.
Demetri caught me looking their direction and winked at me.
I shivered, if I had to stay here…I'd much rather die!

I noticed the talking was over for Aro and the two men walked back to their seat and sat down.

Aro motioned for me to take a step forward.
Jasper was reluctant to let me out of his arms, but Carlisle placed his hand on Jaspers shoulder and shook his head.
Growling deeply, Jasper released me and I took my stand in front of the Volturi leaders.

I tried to focus only on Aro, the feeling of standing in the middle of the room with all eyes on me just like in the ring of a circus, was utterly discomforting.

"Try and keep me calm…" I had whispered to Jasper, before he released me.

They just looked at me, watching me as I stood there waiting for an answer.
If I had a choice, I wish I could have vanished…just disappear at that very moment.

"We have come to a decision, but first I would want to ask you something, Evelyn Swan." Aro said to me as he walked away from the chairs towards me.

"Are you willing to join us, and use your power for the peacekeeping in the vampire world?"

I blinked and bit my bottom lip.
This was it, the moment I was going to say I had no intention in joining him.

"I am willing to use my power for peacekeeping…but I do not wish to join the Volturi." I answered calmly, thanks to Jasper, who was doing the perfect job of keeping my emotions leveled.

A grin appeared on Aro's face," why am I not surprised? Are you sure about that answer?"

I nodded," I belong with Carlisle's coven, Sir Aro… they are my family, and not because of Bella's marriage to Edward,
"but also because I am soon going to be married into the family as well."

I glanced over my shoulder back at Jasper who gave a light nod.

"I realize how…threatening and dangerous my persuasion power may appear, however I promise I will not use it to cause havoc or kill."

"And that little scene we saw just a moment ago?" Caius yelled before Aro had the chance to reply," are you telling me that was an 'accident'?"

"Caius, if you please I'm talking to this lady." Aro said with a very stern voice.

"I'm sorry, Aro." He replied, though not entirely pleased that I haven't answered his question.
Aro noticed this too and said," nonetheless, if you would answer Caius his question, Evelyn. May I call you Evelyn?"

I nodded and turned my attention to the blond haired vampire on my right.

"I let my emotions take the best of me, but I do not apologize for what I did." I answered.

"You don't?" Caius said sounding as if he had not expected this answer.

I shook my head with confident," She hurt the one I love most in this world, and because of that I let her hurt the one she loves the most…her brother."

I heard Jane hiss at me from the upper right corner.

"Interesting," Aro said with his smile," you stand behind your actions…which were based on love?"

"Have you never done anything out of love?
"Something you know other people might not agree with or even hate you for it?" I asked him.
Somehow I knew my words hit him somewhere, for the smile he had on a moment ago, vanished into a straight line.

"I guess we all have done something we're not proud off…" He said in a low voice,
"However…it does not justify what you did to Jane. She acted on an order I had given her."

"An order you had given her, to trigger me on purpose so you could see the use of my powers!" I snapped back.
Immediately I clasped my hand in front of my mouth.

"Well then, Miss Swan…I guess my action was not based on love.
You will stay here until further notice or at least until you are fully capable of controlling that newborn temper of yours."
With that he turned around and walked back to his throne-like chair.

"Aro, will you not reconsider your verdict, Evelyn is capable of controlling her powers. Her temper can be controlled by her mate Jasper who can influence emotions." Carlisle stepped forward to his old friend.

Upon those words the Volturi leader turned around once again, his face stern and cold.

"He did not do a very good job in stopping her temper, now did he? I apologize, Carlisle, I hate hurting you, but it has been decided. Your words cannot change that."

I felt the arm of Jasper placing itself around my waist," Will you listen to my words, Sir Aro? Evelyn is means everything to me. I cannot live without her. She had been turned over 4/5 months ago, she's still learning."

I looked up at Aro, whose expression seemed to soften a bit.

"I do hope you are not trying to influence my emotions, Mister Hale."

Jasper bowed his head," No Sir, I'm just begging you to let my fiancée stay by my side. We are going to be married. I'm sure we can make a deal."

Aro arched an eyebrow at this comment,
"A deal my young man? Your mate insults me, hurts one of my most prized possessions then accuses me of foul play?"

I bit my lip, this didn't look to well…

"Miss Swan here told me she doesn't want to join my coven and I respect her decision and won't push the matter any further…at the moment.
"However I cannot let her walk around in this world, a power as strong and dangerous which is under control unless her emotion starts kicking in." He said pulling a face as if the word emotion was filth.

"She can leave once her emotion is under control. And I will not let you stay here so you can influence that!"

And that was it. No more arguing…the decision had been made.
I saw Carlisle's face, his eyes stood dim and I knew it was true. Nothing could be done.

"Dear friend,-"

"Leave Carlisle, I'm sorry. But I'm going to have to ask you to leave Volterra. We'll keep in contact." Aro said to him.

Jasper held me tight as Felix and Demetri approached us.
"Stay back!" He hissed.

"My love, don't they'll kill you!" I begged him.

"I'd much rather be dead, than leave you here with these…these."

He couldn't finish his sentence for Carlisle had grabbed hold of him,
"There's nothing we can do at the moment, Jazz. I know it's difficult but we have to leave, they won't kill her. Isn't that right Aro?"

"I wouldn't dare, my friend." The Volturi leader replied.

Jasper didn't release me, his grip was firm and I held him just as tight,
"Listen to me, Jazz. There's nothing we can do…we can either do what they want…"

"But I can't,-"

"If you get yourself killed today I'm going to kill myself…if that's even possible for a vampire to do…"

Jasper grabbed hold of my hands and kissed them.

"I will find a way." He whispered as he looked in my eyes.

"I know you will." I replied as he lips collided with mine.
Filled with passion he pulled my close and stroked my hair.
I did not want the kiss to end, but it did.

He was pulled away by Felix who had his hand wrapped around Jaspers neck,
"now, now keep it civilized."

The last image I saw was Jasper being pulled away from me by Felix and another Volturi guard.
His growls and calling my name echoed through the room and the hallway as they took him away.
Carlisle was escorted by another guard. Before leaving to the hall he turned and gave me an 'I'll think of something' look.

I wonder if they will think of something…

"There, there now. Don't be sad…at least you're still alive." Demetri whispered to me.

My hand started to make the shape of a fist. And it remained a fist, which at this moment did not hit Demetri square in his face.

"Demetri, escort Miss Swan to one of the guest rooms." Aro ordered him.

Demetri grinned as he grabbed hold of my arm," it would be my pleasure."


whoa, did you expect this? maybe it's corny but i wanted to pull the Volturi more into the story. and what better way to do that than to actually make Evy live with them for a while?

please REVIEW! :)
