Glad a lot of you liked how Bella gets angry at the end of the last chapter. I was wanting to do that for a while.

This chapter is the first half of the rescue of Galen, Athenodora, Jessica, Angela, and the twins. Diana goes along and you get to see the queen in action with Bella and the others.

I don't own Twilight.

Enjoy!

Volterra, 1:14 a.m.:

Bella's P.O.V.:

It was on now, after we realized the twins were gone along with my two best friends the entire Volturi straightened up and prepared for a large fight. Diana's guards were ready too, and Felix and Demetri were ready to make pelts out of the werewolves.

Jacob and his pack were on the way, they would be at Balestrino within the next few hours. Jake knew where to go, and he was ready to help me get my children back. Aro had objected to me going, but Marcus convinced him otherwise. I was going to get my babies back, nothing could stop a raging mad newborn vampire princess.

"Isabella." Marcus came up and held me in his arms. "No matter what happens, stay with me."

"Always." I shared a kiss with him. We were out with the guards outside the city, and the full moon wouldn't rise until tomorrow night. We should arrive in Balestrino in a few hours just before Jake and the others, but we had to take a cover because Demetri had said their hideout was closed out and easily worthy of trapping us.

"Alright." Diana took the stand in front of everyone. "Tonight, we are heading into battle with the moon children. They have taken our friends and comrades, and the young prince and princess; we will fight until they are safe and sound back in Volterra. We will fight to defend our families, and our friends, we will fight…for the vampires!" she raised her arms as she spoke.

"The vampires!" everyone cheered with her.

"Alright, everyone knows who to go with. Get into your teams, and set off; remember these moons are far smarter than the ones we've dealt with before. My only words to you are these, be safe, be swift, and most of all, stay alive!" we bowed to her, and in my group I had Clarinda, Joseph, Demetri, Alec, Marcus, Rena, Charlie, and a few other minor guards.

We were ready for battle, and once Diana turned around we ran at vampire speed away from the city, all of us hoping to return once this was over.

Few hours later, outside Balestrino:

The city was everything I had thought; it was eerie, quiet, and almost barren except for a small amount of villagers. It was a good spot for werewolves to hide, especially with the rumors of superstition everywhere.

I had my group with me, all the others surrounded the city and Demetri had said look for an old warehouse but be mindful of the guards around it. I had my suspicions, we were attacking before the full moon, but these werewolves got into the castle with Heidi's help, but they had to have some other skills hidden. Caius had told us before the full moon the moon children would grow in size and strength, they weren't as fast as us but they were strong, and on the full moon they were stronger.

We had over fifty guards and the Cullens with us, but to make sure we all made it out alive we had to stick together and fight. I would go to find my friends and my kids, Marcus and Demetri would go with me while the rest helped the other groups fend off the monsters. Charlie had been testing his new strength, he was ready to get his grandchildren back and he would do everything he could.

"Ok, Dad, Joseph, Clarinda…you three go around the eastern part of the city, meet up with Diana and the others." Demetri pointed up at the wall around the city.

"No." Charlie. "I'm not leaving my daughter alone."

"Dad I'll be fine, I have Alec, Marcus, and Demetri. I'll be fine."

"I don't care, my grandkids are at risk right now."

"I know, dad these are my kids you have to let me do this." Charlie was about to retort but Marcus stopped him.

"Charlie, you have to trust Isabella. You raised her, she knows what to do and she's capable of more than any of us think. I give you my word, if anything happens to her or the children you can tear me apart and burn me slowly." Charlie's eyebrows rose to his forehead.

"You swear?"

"On my own life."

"Dad please…" Charlie pulled me into a hug which I returned.

"You be careful Bells, be safe."

"You too dad, you too." He pulled away and took off with Joseph and Clarinda.

I was glad to have my family with me, now all I had to do was save the rest and get them home before the sun rose.

As we entered into the city we crept from alley to alley, to not draw attention in case some wolves were hanging around to look out for vampires. Marcus stayed close to me, Demetri and Alec stayed in the back.

"Where did the trail leave?" I asked Demetri.

"Just over that building there." He pointed to a large brick tower of sorts, I could smell the stink of dogs everywhere. "The entrance is inside."

"I thought you said at a warehouse?"

"It is, but there's an entrance to the warehouse in there. I spotted some going in when I came with Angela." He looked away.

"We'll get her back Demetri, Angela's tough she won't give up so easily." We looked around, and one watchman surrounded the building. When he vanished, Demetri gave us the signal to run in through the door and covered our tracks. He led us to a small trapdoor, in the back behind an old shelf full of old files.

"Back this way, quietly." We snuck into the door, down a dark tunnel and thank goodness we could see in the dark. We came to a door, and I slowly opened it to see nothing but another hallway. We went down it, and after walking a few more feet I heard a loud scream. It sounded like Jessica, but the walls didn't shake so it had to be Angela.

"Shhh." Marcus took the lead and we came to a room where the door was cracked. Inside I saw Angela being tortured by two wolves, or men with wolfish hairstyles.

"Like that little one? You want more?" she was screaming and crying, but before anything else happened Demetri slammed down the door and broke the two men's necks. To be safe Marcus decapitated them and Alec took the bodies; Angela flung herself into Demetri's arms and sobbed.

"Oh Demetri…" he stroked her hair. Her outfit was torn, but no signs of rape or trauma. It's likely the wolves just tormented her, but she was still pretty shaken up.

"It's ok Ange…I'm here." She opened her eyes and saw me.

"Bella! Bella I'm sorry I tried to stop them but they…" I just hugged what part of her I could.

"It's not your fault, they ambushed you. Heidi tricked us, but Ange do you know where Jess and the twins are?" she shook her head.

"They separated us, blindfolded me but I can track them…" her power, that's right.

"Your gift, use it quickly we don't have a lot of time." Angela's eyes turned from red to a weird green, and Demetri led her around while we followed. I heard more screams, and one I felt the floor shake violently under my feet.

"That's Jessica!" we ran to the source and five werewolf men were each holding a limb and Jessica's head threatening to pull her apart.

"AHHH!" her skin was starting to crack the wolves just laughed.

"This one's a good screamer, too bad it's not much on us." I glanced at Marcus and Alec. We kicked down the door and jumped onto three that held her head and arms. I grabbed one and held him by the throat against the wall.

"Kill the others, leave this one for now." The rest were easy to kill, they were probably the weaker of the pack just guarding the prisoners. The one I had was scared out of his mind, yes he was definitely a weak one.

"Alright, where are the others?" he looked at me with wide eyes.

"O-Others…?" my hold on his throat tightened.

"Your comrades, the other prisoners, my children! Where are they?"

"You had best answer my wife, where are our children?"

"I…I don't know…we were just…ordered to watch the girl. I know nothing bout no…brats…" he was useless, I crushed his windpipe and he died instantly.

"We're probably getting closer, I can smell more wolves down the halls." Demetri.

"Then lead the way." I wanted to find my kids first, then we would finish off these mutts. Holy cow I was starting to think like Caius.

We followed Demetri down some more halls, and then caught a familiar scent. It was Diana's, her group must've come down here. We were close I could sense it! Maybe she had found something. We stopped when a loud groan of pain echoed off the walls.

"Is that…?" Jessica.

"No, no it can't be." I raced down to the source, and what I saw made me freeze. The worst thing I had ever seen, maybe not as worse as my babies getting hurt, but the second worst. Diana was being held back by six wolves, strong ones and she was trying to get to Galen who was about to have his head ripped off.

"What's wrong queenie? Can't bear to see your boy toy suffer?" Galen cried out as one wolf dug his hands into his arms. I heard a sickening crunch, and then I heard a loud screech.

"LET GO OF HIM!" Diana shrieked, but as I about jumped in to help Diana wrenched herself from their grip and her claws extended. She sank all ten into a different wolf and the cries they made were agonizing. Not that I cared they deserved it.

"Milady!" Angela ran to Galen's side, he wasn't hurt but he seemed dazed.

"Galen, are you alright?" Marcus walked to him.

"Y-Yes…Lady Diana…please forgive me…" he looked away. "I didn't mean to disobey you, they…Heidi she…"

"No time for apologies yet Galen, we need to get to the others."

"Lady Diana where's your group?" Marcus.

"They killed some just a few doors down, I told them to head along when I heard Galen calling me." I looked at Galen.

"You were calling her for help?"

"Yes, I would never truly betray my queen. But I know where the twins are princess…"

"Where?"

"Follow me." we ran down several more halls, what was this an underground railway or something? I heard several screams and smelled blood, looks like our side was winning so far. I heard crying, loud crying, and it was a baby's cry.

"Kyra! Aiden!" I ran to the source and I saw one large werewolf, a man with straggly dark hair and dark skin, with Athenodora in his arm, and my twins crying loudly for me.

"You had best stop there Queen Diana, Princess Isabella." I froze, I had to try and end this carefully.

"We just want Athenodora and the twins back, give them to us now and we can end this quietly." He laughed a dark laugh, and Athenodora whimpered in his arms.

"Quietly? Vampires never end anything quietly."

"Our side is defeating yours, you have no choice but to surrender. Return our children and Athenodora and we might show you mercy." Marcus stepped forward.

"Defeating us? Oh we've only just begun." He snapped his fingers with his free hand, and the wall behind him turned into several sliding doors. To my utmost horror, everyone, most if not all of our teammates and comrades, were held and bound down by werewolves and newborns.

"No…" I saw Aro being held by one wolf and Caius by two, everyone else was held in chains, the same chains Diana used on her prisoners.

"You won't defeat me princess, but this can all go down safely and swiftly if you do something for me."

"Why would I do anything for you?"

"Maybe because you want your friends to go home alive, and let your little…spawn live a long, healthy life."

"Don't insult my children!" I about lunged by I stopped as I watched him touch Aiden's head.

"Not wise to approach someone with multiple hostages princess. I must say though these little…babies are quite cute." He stroked my son's hair.

"Don't…don't hurt them." Marcus held onto my hand.

"Oh I won't hurt them, all you have to do is a little favor for me and then we can finish this." I looked at Marcus, but I didn't pay much attention to the pleading look in his eyes.

"Do what?"

"Bella wait…" Diana touched my shoulder and stepped forward. The wolf stared and smirked evilly, showing off his ugly yellow teeth.

"Long time no see ol'girl." Diana smirked back.

"I thought I recognized you, but I never would've expected something like this."

"Guess I'm not as dumb as you thought I was."

"What's going on here?" where did this come from?

"Don't worry Bella, just listen."

"Listen to your queen princess, might learn a lesson or two. Wanna explain Diana?" Diana just snarled and let the smile drop for a second.

"I wondered what happened to you after all this time, and so I see you've been plotting revenge for centuries neither against every vampire nor Caius, but against me. How long has it been three, four thousand years since we last met?" the man smirked evilly.

"Yeah, and you haven't changed a bit since you left."

"You know why I left, and you know why I did what I did."

"You committed murder and you never regretted any of it." Diana held up her hands and walked over to him closely. "After everything my family did for you."

"Your family didn't do anything but let me get hurt."

"Yeah well you probably had it coming." Diana smirked but stopped as he yanked on Dora's hair.

"Let go of her!" Caius struggled to get loose but the wolves had him good.

"Ain't that just cute?" the wolf licked Dora's cheek and she squirmed.

"Let's not get hostile alright? Just let the twins go…"

"You don't give me orders!"

"You don't have to hurt anyone else, your revenge is towards me. I have to say you've done a good job of letting everyone think this was about the other moon children wanting revenge against Caius. The fake note, getting Heidi to do your bidding, seducing the guards, the kidnappings, this whole underground maze, I must say…well done."

"Well done? Diana how can you abide by this crock?" I didn't understand where this was going. What was she trying to do?

"I think introductions are in order don't you Diana?" Diana sighed and her eyes closed. She turned to me and looked back at all the hostages behind the man.

"Everyone, I would like all of you to meet an old ex-friend of mine…Augustus. We knew each other before I was engaged."

"He's an ex-friend of yours? Then why is he all out for revenge?" Demetri.

"What happened between both of you?" I leaned in, knowing this answer would probably shock the hell out of me and everyone else in this room.

"He's the younger brother of my ex-fiancé Marco."

Now don't worry, this is only the first part. Next one is the second part and remember when it said 'most if not all'? This starts out with an old enemy of Diana's but it ends with the enemy wanting Bella.

Like my little twist? There will be more on Bella's part in this in the next one.

R&R

Later!
