I'm sorry I left such an evil cliffy, I just couldn't resist.

Fear not though, here comes the next chapter and I hope you love it. This shows more on the traitor and what's about to happen, along with Diana and the Volturi deciding what to do about Athenodora and Galen.

I don't own Twilight.

Enjoy!

Bella's P.O.V.:

"Moon children….you mean the werewolves?" I looked at Diana and she nodded. I saw Charlie and Rena rushing into the room.

"What's going on what's happened? Bella?"

"Galen and Athenodora are missing dad, the werewolves took them."

"Werewolves? But aren't they in South America?" Diana shook her head.

"Some have decided to be stupid and kidnap two vampires."

"But the werewolves have been out of trouble for centuries, why would they suddenly take charge now?" Alec came through, with Raoul behind him.

"You asked to see me princess?" he bowed.

"Yes I want you to take care of Rosalie and Edward in the dungeons, but not just yet."

"We'll have to put the punishments off for now, my wife is gone." Caius snarled looking in complete anguish with his fists clenched.

"Caius please, we'll get her back I'm sure of it." Diana's voice was strong, as if she'd just figured out something.

"Yes, if those dogs have any sense at all then they'll keep her alive." Aro touched his other shoulder. "We will fix this."

"That's not all milady, masters." Jane looked scared.

"What else is there Jane?" Marcus stood up.

"They left this." She reached into her robe and pulled out a paper handing it to Diana. Jessica came in with Felix.

"Jess what is it?"

"Demetri and Angela are tracking the kidnappers, Master Caius I'm sorry I tried to stop them but they…" before she could finish Diana held up a hand and started reading from the letter.

"The werewolves…they have Athenodora and Galen, but we can't use Alice to see them because they will make Galen block her."

"What do they want?" Aro.

"They want Caius, as a payment to avenge their fallen comrades from centuries ago." She looked at Caius. "If we give you to them, they say they'll release the others."

"There has to be more than that."

"There is." She handed him the letter, his eyes widened and he looked at Marcus.

"They want Isabella." He looked at me. "They know you can have children, they want to use you…"

"As a breeding machine…" I shrank in my spot on the bed. Marcus held onto me, and kissed me. "No…no they can't…"

"Don't worry mia stella, they won't get near you." Diana looked at me with pure sincerity. "You will be protected as will the children and your family."

"But how did they get into the castle?" Marcus.

"We don't know, the traitor, whoever they are must've let them in." Alec. "We searched all over, but found nothing broken or tampered with." Before anyone else could talk a phone went off. "It's Demetri…" he flipped it open. "Hello? Where are you? Oh, hold on…the trace stops outside the city, but Angela…well she can track them regardless of scent."

"How so?" Caius and Aro.

"She can see invisible linings, like an aura of sorts." Diana. "They are all different, so none can match or deceive. Angela will be able to trace them but we'll need as many hands as we can get." She looked at me. "We may have to ask the Denalis and the Cullens."

"No." I spoke up. "Not Edward, Rosalie, or even Tanya. They can stay out. The others I agree with."

"I was about to suggest that Isabella." She looked angrier, but not at me. "Alec you, Felix and Jessica follow Demetri and Angela, be careful."

"Yes your majesty." The twins bowed and raced off. I sank into my husband's arms and he held me tightly.

"Let's give them some privacy, Aro, Caius, Raoul you come with me." they followed Diana out into the nursery.

"They won't get you cara mia. I won't let them harm you."

"I hope not, I can't bear to be away from you and the babies." I felt all fear come back, and I hadn't felt this scared in forever. "Marcus…"

"Shhh, easy now." He held onto me. "Do you want me to get the children?" I nodded.

"Please." He got up briefly and came back with twins in his arms. He handed me Aiden and he held Kyra, both still asleep, completely unaware of everything happening. "What're we going to do?"

"Diana will figure something out, in the mean time I won't leave your side. I will be with you."

"Marcus you'll need to talk to Aro and Caius, mostly Caius because his wife is missing."

"I know, but I don't want to risk them getting to you." He sounded horrified, then I remembered Didyme had been taken from him almost the same way. If he lost me, no no I couldn't think about that, I knew we would be safe as long as we had others around us.

"I want to make sure we'll be alright."

"We will be, we've dealt with moon children before and if I know Caius I know he'll figure out a way to get them back." He sat close to me and I leaned on his shoulder.

All we could do now was wait until a plan came to mind.

Diana's P.O.V.:

This can't be happening now, how did the moon children get into the castle without any of us seeing or smelling them? Demetri would've seen it instantly, how did this happen? Even if the spy had gotten them in we still would've seen this coming.

"Milady, we just heard from Demetri. The tracks go as far as Venice, but it's going towards an airport." Aro came in putting his cellphone away.

"They're fleeing the country, but to where?"

"Angela saw the flights, they were boarding one on the way to Balestrino." Caius.

"Balestrino, that's not far from here."

"Not very many humans there either, perfect spot for wolves to hide at night." That made sense, werewolves were only dangerous when the full moon rose, but the full moon wasn't coming until two days from now.

"Two days until the full moon, we need to find them now!"

"How can we, Demetri and Angela can only do so much…" I snapped my head to Aro. "Forgive me milady, I'm only pointing out facts."

"Maybe, but right now what we need is a plan." Isabella wouldn't be safe as long as those wolves were around, not to mention the traitor was still at large. They didn't want the babies, they only wanted Bella and Caius, but something still wasn't right.

"Majesty." At the door I saw Chelsea coming in with her mate Afton. "I think I know who the traitor is." Aro and Caius narrowed their eyes at her.

"How do you know?" Caius walked closer.

"I have seen some bonds, some weakened ones in the guard. I fear the traitor has a partner, that's how they got through our walls."

"And who do you assume is the traitor?" she looked at me.

"I fear…I fear it's Renata." Renata? The physical shield guard of Aro's?

"Allow me Chelsea." Aro walked over and took her hand in his. He stared at her palm for several seconds before turning to me. "She's telling the truth, it is Renata." His voice was thick with anger and shock, as was I. Renata didn't have the power to deceive us, she was just a shield; but what could she gain by betraying the Volturi?

"Are you certain Aro?" he nodded.

"I am." He turned away, running a hand through his dark hair. "How could I have not seen this? I trust that girl with my life."

"It's likely she has a debt with the moon children, wouldn't be the first time a vampire has turned us over to them like this." Caius was in distress, with his mate at risk what more could anyone do?

"Shall we get Renata your highness?" Afton.

"Fetch her, but be careful." They bowed and left at vampire speed. If Renata really was the traitor, then she would tell us what's going on. "You'd best summon Jane Aro, we'll need her for this."

"Yes." He left in a hurry. Caius leaned against the wall and covered his face with his hands, and I could hear his muffled sobs.

"Caius…" I walked over to him.

"I can't lose her, Athenodora is the only light in my life." He looked at me with anguished eyes. I touched his shoulder feeling him stiffen.

"We'll get them for this, I can assure you. Those mongrels will not escape us this time." He nodded at me and then Aro returned with Jane. Moments later Chelsea and Afton returned with a struggling Renata.

"Let go of me!" she tried to run when she saw me, but those two had a good grip on her.

"You're not going anywhere." Caius shut the door and stood in front of it. "We know you're the traitor Renata, there's no point in trying to run now."

"No!" she kept struggling and then with one glance at Jane she was on the floor screaming and squirming.

"Enough Jane." She stopped and Renata stayed still. "Read her Aro, she can't block you." He moved and grabbed her by the throat, slammed her against the wall and stared into her eyes for several seconds.

"You traitor…after everything I've done for you!" he squeezed and I heard cracking.

"Aro!" he glared at her then let her drop. "Why did you betray us Renata? What's your meaning for associating with the werewolves?" she looked up.

"He…He said that he would make me his mate…I could be his queen once you and the Volturi were out of the way…" she was purely afraid now, she knew she couldn't fool Aro or me.

"Hold on, someone promised to give you power? What about this note?" I threw the letter at her.

"It's fake…they…they want all of you. If he was able to cut the Volturi down to size he would make everyone serve him if they surrendered. He said…yes he wants Isabella to have babies, but he wants her to have his babies and more if she can."

"That's sick!" Jane snarled.

"I…I let them in…they took Lady Athenodora…would use her as a muse…" my eyes widened.

"What does he have over you?" Caius.

"He seduced her." Aro. "I couldn't see who I was but I heard his voice. He has seduced her for many years now, morphing her into his little puppet."

"So you betrayed your coven for a mere romance? Pathetic…" Caius grabbed her hair and pulled her up. "If anything happens to Athenodora or Galen you will suffer tremendously girl." He bared his teeth and she whimpered.

"Please…I never wanted to I…he was just so convincing…" she mewled under Aro's glare. "I didn't know he wanted her…I swear I would've said something but he had me blocked…" she started dry sobbing loudly. Caius dropped her to the floor and she scrambled to my feet.

"Renata…"

"Please milady! I'm sorry I'm so sorry I didn't want to do any of this but he said he'd kill me if I didn't help him…it was too late and if he let my memories show Master Aro wouldn't have believed me…!"

"Renata control yourself." Aro knelt down next to her. "What do you mean I wouldn't have believed you?"

"He can block certain memories, he could've made it look like I had done this on my own." This power she was describing…it couldn't have been who I thought it was.

"How many are under his control?" Caius.

"I-I don't know…I only saw a few of them."

"He wants Isabella and Athenodora, but the wolves want Caius and the entire Volturi?" she shook her head yes.

"He…he's wanting to control the vampires and werewolves…then to…overrun the humans…use them as slaves." That wasn't possible, even if humans were weaker than us they always had a chance to defeat us.

"Do you know when he'll come for Isabella?"

"No…I haven't spoken to him since this morning…" I walked closer to her, and knelt down in front to look directly into her eyes.

"Who is this man Renata?" she looked down.

"I…"

"Who is the man who seduced you? Is he a werewolf?" she shook her head.

"He's a vampire…he's one of yours." I leaned closer.

"Who?" she stared.

"It's Galen…he's the traitor." My stone heart shattered to pieces inside me.

Sorry about the wait, got a lot going on right now.

I know it doesn't look like much but I wanted to get this chapter out of the way. Turns out there were two traitors instead of one. Now is Renata telling the truth? Is Galen really a traitor or is she lying with his power still intact?

More on Bella's point in the next chapter, plus more on the Cullens.
