A/N I need to say thanks to my beta twilightaddict71484, and my pre-readers, Angelnvzl, and sinfulroad69, they helped make this chapter worth reading. In this chapter we get to hear from the Volturi, as well as the marriage, and trip to Forks from Bella. Hope you enjoy.

I do not own Twilight or any of the characters.

Marcus's POV

Well that went much better than planned. Not only were we able to convince Jasper that what we were telling him was the truth, he wasn't able to feel our deceit. I know that Isabella will not say anything, she knows that her mother will be killed if she does.

I also know that she is very angry about what we are making her do. I'm not sure which bothers her the most. The fact that she is being forced to marry a vampire that she doesn't know, and get pregnant by him; or is it the fact that we are testing the Cullens? I believe that its the latter.

When we told her that we were going to lie to Jasper about her; well, her emotions were all over the place. I didn't need to be an empath to know that. She started screaming, and then proceeded to start crying. She told us that by doing this, it could ruin any chance of Jasper doing his part. He wouldn't want to have anything to do with her. We simply reminded her that if he didn't do his part, his family would be destroyed.

Both Aro, and Caius believed that the ones that are compassionate will break, and act like true vampires towards Isabella. They are convinced that they will not treat someone whom they believe is a threat to their coven, or family as Carlisle calls them, with compassion.

I believe that they will treat her humanely, at least until they see the threat acted upon the family. Which of course the only real threat there is, if Jasper doesn't fulfill his part, then the family will be destroyed. That threat is very real, and it will happen if he doesn't at least do what he needs to do in order to get young Isabella pregnant. That means that if she is still a virgin at the end of the six months, one family member will be killed.

Aro, and Caius both are truly wanting to have a hybrid that is a mental shield, as well as an empath. With someone like that on the guard, no one could ever defeat us. We could be secure in the fact that the power we hold would never be stopped. The thing is, that my instinct is telling me that somehow, this experiment with the Cullens is going to backfire, and we'll be the ones to end up suffering. I can only hope that Aro and Caius haven't created a monster.

I told them not to do this, but they thought it would be too much fun. The problem I see is that once the lies have been told, there may never be enough trust between Isabella, and Jasper. I know that if I had been told lies about someone, and then later found it to be just that, lies. I wouldn't know who to trust, on either side.

I also know that Jasper Whitlock, has a nasty temper. He has caused much destruction when angry, and has gone on killing rampages. Of course that was before he met the Cullens. Still, I'm a little afraid for Isabella. What if he gets so mad that he ends up hurting her badly, or worse, killing her.

There is also something else to worry about. What if Isabella is hurt so much, so badly, that she decides that it would just be easier all the way around to just kill herself? She is mostly human, and that means that she is weaker. If I'm wrong, and she is mistreated badly enough, she could just decide to destroy herself.

I did address this with Aro, and Caius. They finally promised that if it could be proven, if something happened to her, that she did in fact take her own life, or cause her life to be destroyed, then neither her mother nor the Cullens would have to pay with their lives. I just wish they had listened to me, and never started this experiment.

Bella's POV

I'm sitting here in this fucking wedding gown waiting for my "Groom" to get here. I was told to be ready or else. I had already been strictly warned of what would happen if I didn't keep my mouth shut. I had to let Jasper, and the rest of his family believe the lies they were being told, or would be told once we were married.

Marcus seemed to truly believe that the Cullens would still treat me with compassion. Jasper, well, he wasn't so sure of. I knew all about Jasper Hale, or Whitlock, that was his human name, and that is what my new last name would be. The fucking assholes said that it would be better if I took on his real name, since it would be a real marriage.

They didn't care if I went by Hale, or Cullen, or Whitlock, as long as I stayed with him. But I had been well informed of who, and what this vampire that is soon to be my husband, came from, and his history. I heard some of it from the Volturi, the rest I heard from either mom, or indirectly, her friends.

While I had been born and raised here, my mother had been allowed to travel, for short periods of time. She had met a few vampires in her travels, and even kept up a friendship with some of them. With my help, she was able to keep those friendships a secret. She just didn't want the Volturi bothering them. She and I were so much alike in that we would rather die, than bring any trouble to any of those we cared about.

My mom had actually met a couple of vampires that had been sired by the vampire known as the Major. Peter and Char as we call her. She would stay with them for weeks, or sometimes just days. She told them everything that was going on, and what the Volturi were doing. They in turn told her that maybe the Major could get her out of there.

They told her all about the family that the Major had found and was staying with. She also learned enough about the Major's past to know that he was a dangerous vampire, and he had never lost a fight. They were sure that once the Major heard her story that he would help. The only problem was, she looked, smelled, and at times had the heartbeat of a human. He didn't deal with humans very well.

He had changed his diet to animal drinker, but he still had trouble resisting human blood. That wasn't the main thing that stopped her from trying to find him. No, what stopped her from even looking for the Cullens was the fact that whenever she left, I always stayed behind. It was the only way that the assholes could be sure that mom would come back.

At the same time, mom was trying to find a way to get herself, and me out of Italy altogether. That was the main reason she took the trips. After another year of watching other young human girls being forced to have sex, and carry hybrid babies, my mom decided that maybe if she could just talk to the leader of the Cullen family that maybe he could help, or at least give her some ideas. He had at one time been a part of the Volturi.

She had told me all about what she had learned of the Cullens from Peter, and Char. They only drank the blood of animals, and the leader was actually a doctor that worked in a hospital taking care of injured, sick, humans. He, and the rest of the family had deep compassion for humans, enough to never want to kill them for food. Jasper was different from them in the way he was sired, and his early beginnings as a vampire were full of death, destruction, and from what Peter told mom, depression after a century of doing Maria's bidding.

I myself have been surrounded by the very same things. The only difference is that Jasper actually did the killing. For me, I have had to watch while they take young girls, and force them to be with vampires. Sometimes, the vampire drains the young girl as he is finishing up. The only ones that are protected are the hybrids like me.

Even though with me, the vampire couldn't drain me or maybe wouldn't drain me is a better way to say it. You see, to a vampire my blood tastes bitter, and sour. When they found this out, they had a doctor take some of my blood and test it to try to find out why. The only thing they came up with is that there is venom in my blood. Why, I haven't changed has them all baffled.

They decided that as soon as I've given them a few hybrids to play with, they are going to try to turn me. Another fucking experiment, and of course its me that will suffer the consequences. That's one of the reasons mom is trying so fucking hard to get me out of here.

When they told mom and me about what they were going to make me do, I felt sick. My part was doing exactly what they told me to do or mom would pay for my mistakes. I had to use my shield to keep Jasper from feeling any deceit from the Volturi, as well as hide my emotions. I had to make him believe that I was basically emotionless.

So, when I walked down the aisle at my wedding I kept my shield up. What made me feel so sad was the destruction that the fucking brother's were about to put the Cullens through. I hated having to be a part of trying to destroy a family, just because they fucking thought it would be fun, but it was my mom's life at stake. I couldn't even look Jasper in the eye for fear he would see right through me.

I was able to get a good look at him after the ceremony, when he kissed my cheek. I was blown away by how handsome, and sexy he was. I could see the scars over his left brow, and then on his jawline. I knew from what mom had said, that he was apparently covered in the same kind of scars. I knew how he had gotten them, and the fact that he had chosen to walk away from Maria, and that lifestyle made me proud that I was going to get to know him, yet the sadness was also there.

When I went to change so we could go back to his family, mom was waiting for me in my room. She had gotten a cell phone, and told me to text her every evening. If she had not heard from me at any point for seventy-two hours, she would call Carlisle herself and explain to him what was really going on. Aro knew nothing of this, but he did say it was alright for her to keep in contact with me, especially since he needed to know how I was doing and make sure I was still able to conceive; in others words, still alive.

He was also interested in knowing how I was being treated. He wanted to make sure that he would win the fucking bet. I had decided to go ahead and text mom every evening just like she wanted me to, but I wouldn't give her a report on what was going on with the Cullens. I think that he was expecting Jasper to either hurt me badly, or kill me. I had heard that he had very little patience when it came to those he didn't trust, I would be one of those as soon as Aro, Caius, and Marcus was done talking to him.

It really took everything within me to hide my emotions from him during the wedding. That was another reason that mom was in my room waiting for me. She knew that I would need blood to regain my strength. Marcus had made sure that she had enough to give to me after I got back from the wedding. I quickly drank all that she had brought me.

Yeah, I do drink blood. Yet, I don't need to all the time. Only if I'm seriously injured, or if I have used either of my shields at all, then I need the blood to help with the healing, or regaining strength. I don't hunt, my teeth are not sharp enough. I have never drank directly from either human or animal. I also have no blood lust at all, I never have.

When my mom found out about the Cullens, and that they drank animal blood, she immediately changed her diet. The Volturi don't really care about what kind of blood we drink. He did make another hybrid drink human blood for about a month and then had them do things to try to find out if there was a difference between an animal drinker, and a human drinker. He tested them every month for years.

After hugging my mom again, and taking the bag with the rest of the thermos' I headed back to meet up with Jasper. I would have to keep my shield up to keep him from feeling my emotions, as ordered by Aro. That meant I would have to keep drinking blood. Once at the Cullens, I could ask for blood. Hopefully, they would let me have some.

As soon as I walked back into the room I knew that he had been told the fucking lies. I had been made to keep my shield up while they talked so he wouldn't feel their deceit. I had learned how to use my shield over longer distances and so the need for the blood. When he looked at me, I felt a chill go down my spine. I didn't need to be an empath to know that he was angry, and despised me already. I just kept my head down after that.

He refused to even touch me. If I accidentally walked too close to him he would back off. Since we were flying on a private plane, we didn't need to pretend to be happily married for the humans. He made sure to stay as far away from me as possible. I had a sinking feeling that things would only get worse after I got to their house.

He had left a truck at the airport, he had been told by Felix to be sure and take one and leave it because he would need it coming back. He made me sit in the back. There were no words spoken, he just opened the back door and pointed. I didn't mind, if he was going to be mean I didn't want to be close to him either. If only I had known what he would end up doing to me as the days wore on. I would have run, and maybe then he would have killed me. Sometimes, I wish he had.

When we pulled into the long drive my curiosity went up. The area was heavily wooded, and it seemed that we were headed right into the middle of them. I watched closely, until I could finally see the house. It was huge, it was beautiful, and it would become my hell on earth.

For the first time Jasper spoke to me, or maybe I should say that he ordered me to stay in the truck until he came back out for me. He warned me that if I got out, or moved that he would make sure that I was in pain for a few days. He had to go and explain to his family, what was going on and talk to the leader. I just nodded that I understood, and then he was gone.

I sat in the truck for about two fucking hours. It was freezing out here, and I wasn't dressed for this weather. My jacket was a light one. I was shivering, and now I had to fucking use the bathroom. Maybe I should just piss myself, at least his truck would stink. Then I realized that I would become even colder, by being wet.

Finally, he comes out and tells me that he will be taking me to his room. Before I was to go, Carlisle, the leader wanted to explain the rules I would have to go by. I was not to speak, unless I was directly asked a question. He then told me that they had been informed of how I live my life, and not to expect to be treated any other way than a whore would be treated.

Apparently, the whole family was there waiting for me. I made sure my shield was up. As soon as I stepped into the room I heard some growls, and then the one they called Carlisle told them to settle down. I could almost feel the hatred for me. This wasn't going to end well for me, at all.

Carlisle told me that he hated that Jasper had to be forced to marry someone who could care less if the family was destroyed. Since there was no way around it, they wouldn't kick me out. But, I would have rules that I would have to follow. You see the mind reader couldn't read my thoughts, and the seeker couldn't see my future at all.

I had to stay in the room at all times. Jasper was in charge of making sure that my needs were met. He would also do with me as he wanted and they would not interfere, unless it was looking like he might kill me. I would be depending on him for everything. He also told me that if he had his way, I wouldn't be in the house at all. The last thing he said to me was, "What the Volturi are doing is very wrong, and it disgusts me, but what you are doing, and have done disgusts me even more. Stay away from my family."

I was then tugged up the stairs and thrown into a room. He did tell me there was a bathroom through the door on the side. He left to bring my bags in. Once that was done he said that he would bring me food. He was very cold, and angry towards me. But, I was smart and kept my head down, so I wouldn't look at his eyes. I hated what I was being forced to do, I hated that these were good people who had been lied to, and I had to fucking go along with it.

An hour later, Jasper walks in with a bag from I'm guessing a diner, along with a drink. I have to admit, I was starving. So I did the stupid thing, and smiled at him, and said, "Thank You!"

He grabbed me up by my shirt, pulled me to his face and then told me to never smile at him again. He said he wasn't going to fall for my fucking tricks, or the pretty face. If I wasn't careful, he would make sure it didn't stay that way.

If I had known then that he would be ripping my clothes off of me, and then rip up everything I owned, starving me, forcing me to take ice cold showers, and then try to rape me; well, I would probably have taunted him until he did kill me.

I was beginning to feel the tentacles of hatred for this man, wash over my strange heart. . .

A/N Please let me know what you think. Next chapter we will find out what it is that is making Jasper so angry. We'll be hearing from him, and we'll find out why he brought clothes for Bella to put on.
