Chapter 12:

Once Liana drifted off to sleep I had Diar follow me back to my study where I could tell him what had happened.

"So Edward thinks he has a right to you and Lia just because you had been with him once?" Diar asked a silent snarl on his lips.

"I'm afraid so, the only thing worse than that is that he is sleeping with Victoria and has joined up with her Army of newborns." I said sitting on my favorite chair.

I was thinking of options that I could take to make sure that my daughter was safe and one option that I hated but knew that it was the safest was too take her to the amazon where one of my closet friends lived.

I knew that Alkaia would gladly take care of Lia until it was safe for her to come home but I didn't know if I could bear to have my baby away from me for so long. Damn Edward and his obsession.

"Mother, are you alright?" Diar's voice broke me from my thoughts and I raised my head to look at him.

"I'm fine Diar, a plan to keep Lia safe is building in my head." I said quietly.

"What is it? You don't look happy about it." Diar asked and I sighed.

"It is the safest option but it's difficult. I can take Lia to the Amazon where Alkaia lives and Edward could never find her but it's so far from here." I said and understanding crossed Diar's face.

"What if I took her and stayed with her until it's safe to return that way she will have a guard just in case somehow Dickward finds her." Diar said and a inelegant snort escaped me at Edward's nickname.

"That'll put my mind at ease, I'll send Chelsea to Alkaia tonight to ask if she is willing to harbor you and Lia." I said standing up and hugging him tightly. "Thank you my heart, I know Lia will be safe with you and Alkaia." I whispered before letting him go and leaving my study at a swift walk.

~scene break~

I came across Athendora in the halls as I left my study and stopped.

"'Dora have you seen Chelsea or Renata?" I asked and Dora hummed in thought.

"I believe I saw Chelsea in the kitchens telling the cook what Lia wanted for her dinner." Dora said and I smiled.

"Thank you Dora." I said and walked on to the kitchens.

"Chelsea!" I called when I saw her standing next to the cook Hera.

"Yes, Belles?" Chelsea asked coming over to me.

"I need you to go to the Amazon forest and track down Alkaia. Ask her if she can harbor Diar and Lia until this problem is dealt with." I said and Chelsea nodded. "

I will Bella I'll go now. The sooner we get Lia out of the country the better." Chelsea said and sped off in a blur.

I sighed and exited the kitchens to walk to the throne room to tell my Uncles and Father the plan.

"Bella? Do you have news?" Aro asked and somehow he looked tired.

"I've sent Chelsea to the Amazon to ask Alkaia if she can harbor Diar and Lia until the problem with Edward and Victoria is dealt with." I said sinking down into my throne.

"It's a good plan, Edward would never to think to look for Carliana there and if he does Diar and Alkaia can certainly take care of him." Caius said and I nodded.

"I'll have to keep this from Alex until Lia leaves, he won't want to do this. He'll want her close. I want her close but this'll keep her safe, especially once he realizes that I'm pregnant." I said and smiled slightly at the looks of shock and surprise on The Kings faces.

Things will still be slow since in some chapters things got mangled during their trip into the trash bin. but I will try to get another chapter up by the beginning of March.
