Evelyn's P.O.V

"Evy..."

I heard my name being called in the distance, it sounded blurry, and I couldn't quite hear who it belonged too.

"Evy!"

Wait a minute…
Jasper?

"Evelyn, darn it, open your eyes my sweet!"

I did as I was asked and opened my eyes only to see the face of Demetri above me.

"You're not Jasper…" I groaned as Demetri's face grimaced at my comment.

"I'm glad you noticed love. Now, do you think you can walk on your own?" he asked me.

I wondered what he was talking about but as I looked around me, I soon realized I wasn't walking instead Demetri was carrying me in his arms.

Quickly I jumped out of his arms, as my feet hit the ground my knees started to wobble and I had to grab hold of the wall to steady myself.

I glanced over at Demetri who threw me a worried look.

"I'm fine." I told him trying to sound sure of myself.

"If you're fine," He said as he lowered himself over me," then why did I have to carry you all the way done from the tower?"

I couldn't think of anything to reply, so I shrugged and pushed myself away from the wall.

"Let me escort you back to your room." Demetri said to me as his arm encircled around my waist.

I was about to say thank you when the image of Marcus appeared in my mind.

Rather roughly I grabbed hold of Demetri, digging my nails in his arms and said," you have to help me avoid Marcus, just until he's back under Chelsea's spell again!"

"I don't,-"

"He will know it was me, Demetri!" I said interrupting him.

"I know that!" He hissed," I wanted to say, before you so impolitely interrupted me, that I don't think you will be able to hide…"

I frowned at him," unless?"

"Unless… I was to keep a close eye on you."

I couldn't help but huff at this remark," of course…"

"Forget us for a mo,-"

"Excuse me! There is no 'us'!"

Demetri grabbed hold of my jaw and pulled my face closer to his," I am a tracker remember, I will be able to sense him if he is too close to my liking." He hissed through clenched teeth as I felt his velvet skin rub against my cheek.

I started to experience a weird sensation, at first I wasn't sure what it was.

Was it Demetri? No, no that was not possible…!

The sweet sensation of a warm fluid, almost golden like trickled my senses, next thing I noticed were the voices of those containing the golden fluid.

Food…

"Hungry are you, my sweet?" Demetri whispered in my ear.

"Very…" I replied sounding seductive.

"Well you're not getting any of them. They're for Aro and the other leaders today. You had your chance yesterday." He grinned mischievously.

A deep growl escaped my throat as I lashed out to Demetri's face, but I missed unfortunately and hit the wall instead.

Demetri frowned at the deep scratches my nails had left in the wall," nice to see you wasting your energy on trying to hurt me instead of saving it in case you might actually get in a real fight."

He quickly threw a glance into the hallway before dragging me with him to lord only knows where.

"Where are we going?" I asked him as we headed into a part of the building I've never went before.

"My room and before you start throwing a fit, think about why that is the safest place for you at this moment."

I didn't need much time to think, the answer was perfectly clear. It would be the last place any of the Volturi, including Marcus, would look.

Everyone was well aware of my hatred towards Demetri, although at this moment he was being pretty helpful.

"There's a good girl." He said knowing I had gotten the picture of his plan.

Jasper's P.O.V

No one could hold me back, I had to see her. The pain inside me was killing, the great emptiness I have felt ever since she stayed behind.

"Jasper…"

I turned my head and waited for Carlisle to continue his sentence.

"Promise me you will remain calm and not do anything to anger them." It wasn't a question, it was an order one that I needed to follow.

I nodded at him as we stepped out of the car.

Rick wasn't going in with us, we agreed that he would stay behind and should anything go wrong he will be able to alert the rest of our family.

Let's hope that part of the plan is unnecessary.

Carlisle led the way as we walked up the stone stairs. For I moment I stopped and glanced up at the window where I had last seen Evy. The iron bars which were in front of the window reminded me on how she firmly grabbed hold of them as Demetri dragged her away from my sight.

I felt anger building up inside me if it wasn't for Carlisle who at that moment placed his hand on my shoulders I don't think I would have been able to push it away.

"You'll see her soon enough." He said within a low voice.

"I hope you're right, Carlisle…with all my soul." I replied.

Carlisle smiled hopefully and knocked on the grand wooden doors with the metal doorknocker.

Almost immediately the doors opened up and Felix and someone I did not recognize stood in the doorway.

Felix smirked at us," We were expecting you."

"I wouldn't have expected anything else." Carlisle bowed his head as we followed them into the hallway.

As we were walking I tried to sense the area in the hope of feeling Evy nearby but by the time we reached the throne room I still hadn't sensed her and I started to worry.

The Volturi leaders were seated on their thrones at the end of the round room. I could feel a strong emotion coming over me like a wave hugging the shore.

The source of this emotion was Marcus who looked livelier then he was the last time I had seen him.

Although his anger, no hatred, was enormous he looked at Aro as if he was able to strike him any moment.

The weird thing was that Chelsea stood next to Marcus instead of the corner like last time.

I sensed Carlisle was feeling confused, so he noticed it too.

"My dear, dear Carlisle," Aro stood up and opened his arms to give his old friend a hug." I want to ask you why this sudden visit…but I do believe I already know what your answer will be."

"Aro, I and my son have been here in Italy for over two weeks. Now I know this may not seem like a long time to you but please imagine how it feels for my son and almost daughter-in-law…"

Aro grimaced at Carlisle's comment and pulled his arms back from the embracement," I honestly had hoped this wouldn't be the main reason of your visit," He glanced over Carlisle's shoulder at me," but seeing as you brought him with you, I guess it is also the only reason why you are here."

"My friend,-" Carlisle started but Aro cut him off by lifting his right hand.

"Enough, let's not dawdle." He snapped his fingers and Felix walked out of the room.

Aro walked back to his seat and quietly sat down as we waited for Felix to return.

The tension in the room increased and all of it came from Marcus, though a bit also came from Chelsea. Jane and her brother Alec, who I had expected to see, weren't in the room.

Maybe it was for the best because Jane had an intense hatred towards me after what Evy had done to her.

Evelyn's love for me was the reason why she had made Jane turn her pain attack on her own brother which was the person Jane loved the most, if that was even possible for someone like her to love.

I was starting to feel rather anxious, was Felix on his way back and if he was, was he bringing Evy with him?

I still couldn't sense her and I hoped Demetri didn't get his filthy hands on her again.

My hands started to form into fists as I tried to calm myself, in case Demetri should make an appearance I had to remain calm!

That was when Felix re-entered the room and he wasn't alone.

His arms was around the waist of a slim woman who wore a Volturi robe, I couldn't see her head but I immediately smelled her lovely scent even though it was well hidden behind several different scents.

Without awaiting an order I ran over to my Evelyn and quickly took her into my arms.

Felix allowed me to take her, for a moment our eyes crossed and he gave a light nod.

"Evy, Darlin'," I wiped her long hair, which had lost all of its shine away from her face.

I was shocked at the state of her. She was so fragile her skin-color was misty instead of porcelain and her eyes were closed.

"Please open your eyes, my love." I said choking on my words.
We should had never come here in the first place, I shouldn't have left her here…look what they did to her!
I felt something soft and silky stroke my cheek, I looked into Evy's eyes which were pitch black.

"Jazz…" She whispered as she gently stroked the side of my face.

I pulled her close and embraced her tightly never wanting to let go of her.
"It's me Darlin', it's alright I'm here now, I'm not letting go."
I planted kissed all over her face before capturing her lips with my own.

"I'm hungry…" she said and it sounded like she said it with a smile.

"You scare me to my very soul and you're making a comment about food." I replied as I nestled my face in her hair, sniffing her scent until it clouded my brain.

The room fell quiet until a loud clapping was heard, Aro clapped his hands a few times as he walked towards me and Evy.
Carlisle approached him but Aro simple lifted his hand and Carlisle took a step back.

"How…touching." Aro said with a semi-smile, as he extended his hand towards us.
"Now Miss Swan, if you would be so kind to take my hand…"

I kept my eyes focus on the dark haired vampire in front of me as I felt Evy grip on me tighten.
Then without warning she released me and grabbed hold of Aro's hand. He immediately pulled her towards him.

For a moment the room was dead silent, until I got this weird feeling coming from Marcus who had stood up from his chair and lunged forward.

oewww how i wanted a cliffhanger! can you guess what Marcus is planning?

let's hope the next update will come soon ^^

REVIEW! :)
