Alice's POV

I stared out the window. I couldn't spwak and I wouldn't speak to anyone. Edward was kind enough to tell everyone to stay out of my room. It had been 3 weeks since they had taken my daughter away from me. No longer would I smile.

I hadn't spoken to Jasper since. He would stil at times linger around and watch over me. I could always feel his pressence when ever I hunted. But he knew better than to bother me. I wasn't mad at him. I was angry with myself. I hadn't done anything to save my daughter from the clutches of evil.

I could still hear Karla's screams in my ears. The look on her face made my heart ache. I wantede to see her. I needed to see her. But Carlisle said that I should wait for permission. I almost yelled at him. I didn't think that Aro would keep his promise with Carlisle. I was afraid that he'd hurt my daughter.

I heard my door open for the first time in hours.

"Alice?" I heard Jasper's voice. It was small and hesitant. But I was too stubborn to turn around. "I know thaqt you are mad at me, ad I wouldn't blame you if you were. But please speak to me. I miss your voice."

I still didn't speak.

"Alice, I need you to know how sorry I am. I'm sorry for letting you down. I'm sorry for taking away your happiness. I know that you must hate me Alice. So if you want me to leave tell me. Tell me and I'll be gone and out of your life. That way I won't be able to hurt you anymore." I heard him take an uneccesary sigh. "I'll take you silence as and answer. I love you Alie. Goodbye."

I soaked in his words and wanted to speak but couldn't. I could hear him turning away. This was my last chance.

"Jasper wait."I said at the last minute. "Please don't leave. I could never hate you." I turned around andhe quickly pulled me into his embrace."I love you Jasper Hale." I loked upand he quickly pressed his lips onto mine. I knotted my hands in his hair. We broke away and I stared into his eyes.

"Alice. I'm so sorry" He moved us to our bed and I cuddled into his chest.

"I need to go to her." I mumbled.

"Alice I will go with you. But we have to wait for-"

"I'm tired of waiting."I cut him off.

"Yes I know. But if we go they might be angry with us. Carlisle wouldn't be happy with us."

"I don't care. It's been too long. I'm afraid that she'll forget about us." I admitted.

"She could never forget you Alice. You loved her so much."

"What if she's angry with us? What if she hatesus?"

"Why on earth would she hate us?" asked Jasper.

"For sending her to hell." I began to sob.

"Alice." I looked up to see Edward. His face was pained.

"What is it Edward?" I asked.

"Alice I can't stand seeing you in this kindof pain. And neither can Esme. So I called the Volturi and arranged for you guys to visit Karla."he gavea small smile at the end. I ran to him and gave hima bone crushing hug.

"Oh thank you so much Edward. But how did you convince them to let me go?"

"I made a promise to Karla before she left. And I know that by me doing this, I wil be keeping my promise." said edward.

"And just what is that promise?" I asked.

But instead of answering, he walked away.

"You might want to get ready." said Eward as he walked away.

I ran back to Jasper.

"I'm so happy Jasper." I said in excitement.

"I know." I could hear th smile in his voice.

Karla's POV

I missed my mommy and daddy. The ugly lady who took me told me to call her aunty Jane. But I nicknamed her stupid. Uncle Emmie would be proud.

"Aunt stupid, are we almost there yet?" I whined. It was dark and cold. We were walking around for along tie and my feet hurt.

"Jane can I please hit her?" asked Felix.

"Aro will not be pleased if she comes back harmed." answered stupid. I was walking right behind her and Felixwas behind me. I tried to see where we were going but Jane was blocking my view and I wasn't aloud to move around much except to walk in a straight line.

"Stupid, can you please move your big butt?" I tried to be polite to the mean lady who took me away from my family.

"What did you say?" stupid turned around and she looked really angry.

"Now remember Jane Aro will not be pleased if she comes back harmed." smiled Felix.

"Oh shut up Felix. We could just tell Aro than she ran from us and fell." I looked up at her realizing her plan.

When I looked up at Felix he looked like he was thinking. I was scared Felix looked down at me and smiled. Before I looked back at stupid I felt someone kick me. I was too scared to cry. I could feel pain all around my body and then I went numb.

Jasper's POV

"Alice calm down we'll see her in a couple of hours." I tried to rub Alice's shoulders.

"Calm down? Jasper don't tell me that you aren't the least bit excited to see our daughter?" asked Alice in teasing voice.

"Of course I am. But if you don't calm down I feel like I'm going to jump up and down and scream like a little girl." I admitted. Alice giggled at my answer.

We were currently on a flight headed to Volterra. I couldn't wait to see our little girl. I had missed my princess too much. I had already appoligized to my wife. Now I needed to appoligize to my daughter.

Daughter. The first night that she stayed with us would always be in my heart. I knew that Alice had always wanted children but I had never really thought about it. But when she held my hand for the first time, I felt whole. I had falle in love with the littl angel that sat on Carlisle's couch.

The look on her face when they dragged her away unfortunately would also remain in my memory. I almost ran to her when she had called my name. She seemed so desperate and scared, and yet I had ignored her calls and helled my wife back.

Edward had spent most of the time trying to convonce me that itwasn't my fault. Carlisle had even told me that if I had tried to rescue her we wuld have all wound up dead including Karla. I cringed at the thought of her lifeless body. I wouldn't know what to do.

"Jasper, what's wrong?" asked Alice. I could feelthe worry and love pouring from her. I shook my head and kissed her forehead. She went back to looking out the window. I looked down at our intertwined hands. I lifted them up and kissed her hand.

Demetri's POV

"The Cullens? Why are they coming?" I asked. There was no doubt in my mind that the Cullen family hated us. Except for Carlisle. He and Aro always kept a strong friendship. I didn't care for the Cullens. The only special ones were the phsycick, the mind-reader, and the empath.

Even with those three, they still didn't stand a chance against our coven. But Aro always wanted us to treat them kind. And no one wanted to get on Aro's bad side. So I didn't understand why they would be coming here.

"They're coming for their dauhgter. The phsycick and the empath." answered Heidi.

I had almost forgotten about our little 'guest'. Karla the little twerp. After we had taken her Carlisle and Aro's friendship had been on strain. Still he kept his promise and we had not killed the brat.

Jane was mostly the one to babysit the human. Which annoyed her, but still their wasn't nothing she would do to please Aro.

"When will they be here?" I asked.

"In about two hours. Go and make sure Jane and Felix have brought her." ordered Heidi. I did wha I was told and went to seek Jane and Felix.

Felix's POV

Crap, crap, crap. We had taken it too far and now the humand would't move. I couldstill hear her heart beating.

"Jane there is no way that Aro will belive that she fell and ended up in this condition." I said.

"I don't care. The brat had it coming to her." Jane threw her on Karla's bed. Aro had tried to make her feel comfortable so he gaveher a room. I watched as her heartbeat wouldspeed up and then slow down. Was she dying?

"Jane. Felix. What happened?" asked a terrified Demetri.

"Well what does it look like?" sneered Jane.

"Aro will not be pleased. You do realize that her parents will be here about two hours. There is no way we can allow the to seeher in this condition." complained Demitri.

"Then let's just ask Aro." suggested Jane.

"Ask me what?" We turned around and bowed at our master.

"Aro. We are sorry. But she would not listen." Jane kissed his hand.

"Ofcourse. It's alright. But I'm afraid that Alice and Jasper will be here soon. And I do not think that miss Karla will make it."

"What do you wish for us to do?" I asked. And we waited for his answer.

Alice's POV

I would havebeen jumping up and down if we were't surrounded by humans. It was dark and they were all enjoying the lights. I would glance at Jasper every once in a while tomake sure that he was okay. He squeezed my hand to assure me that he was doing just fine.

"Alice, Jasper. Welcome." Heidi came out of an alley. She turned around and walked away. We knew enough and followed after her. There were two doors, and we took the one on the left. No doubt the one on the right was for the humans.

Heidi led us down a corridor andi grewanxious by the time Jasper didn't try to calm me dow and I was thankful for that.

We walked into a large room and there on their throwns like kings, were Aro, Caius, and Marcus.

"It is great to see you. How are Carlisle and the rest of your family doing?" asked Aro.

"They're all just fine." I answered with a smile.

"When can we see our daughter?" asked Jasper who I knew was growing impatient.

"What's the rush?" smiled Aro.

"You took her from us. I would like to see her now." said Jasper. I would have expected me to be the one to be angry. I watched Aro's face as it became sadden almos.

"Is there something wrong? Where is Karla?" I spoke. I looked at the rest of the coven and the gaurds. Their faces were hard and still with no emotion.

"I'm sorry to say that your daughter is dead."

"What?" I screamed.

"You'll pay." Jasper crouched dwon and launched himself at Aro. Felix tackled him on the ground at threw him. I ran to Jasper.

"Are you okay?" I asked. He pulled me into his arms. I looked back at Aro.

"Did you kill my daughter?" I growled.

"We tried to do everything we could to save her. But she had lost so much blood. We are sorry about your loss." I burried my face into Jasper's chest and sobbed.

"Here. She would have wanted you to have this." I looked over and Jane walked up to us. She held a small bunny in her hands. "she named him Mickey rabbit. I am sorry." I took it from her hands and held it to my chest. It smelled like Karla.

I started to sob again. I could hear Jasper crying with me. Our daughter was dead.

"How did she die?" I heard Jasper ask.

"She tried to climb out her window and fell. The fall didn't really kill she bled to death." answered Aro.

I cried even louder knowing that it sounded like Karla. She was slways a risk taker and very adventerous. I was wondering if she wasjust curious or tryng to escape.

I dreaded going home and having to tell my siblings, and my mother and father.

This time there was no way I would see Karla. She was in heaven.
