Introduction

Bella having been left by Edward and his family is put in terrible danger. From the deranged Victoria. After she escapes from Victoria with help from the pack. So not wanting anyone else to die she goes to the Volturi in hopes of exchanging her life for her Family, the Wolves and Forks. What she didn't expect was her eyes locking on the blond King and feeling what can only be described as a love true first sight. She finds family among them. Can the Volturi help Bella from the threats she faces? And what about the Cullen's?

Chapter 1: Forks to Volterra

Bella whimpered as her plane hit turbulence. Her body was hurting all over. She had just escaped from Victoria and had decided to save lives in the only option she had left. The Volturi. She hopes by giving up her life would help protect them.

Bella hadn't been the same since Edward left. But she had been starting to bring back her old self. The self that Edward repressed.

She had taken a good look at their relationship and had realised that she had been in a toxic relationship. With the way Edward kept controlling her and also with Alice forcing her to wear things she didn't want.

She might have realised this but it still hurt her deeply that her second family left her with not even a goodbye.

Bella found out about the Wolves of La push when they rescued her from Laurent. She had been the one to tell them about Victoria's plot. Since then, she had spent a lot of time of the Res, where she became best friends with Leah Clearwater and Paul Lahote. Actually, the whole pack considered her sister.

But nothing lasts forever.

Nothing.

And while the Wolves were busy else where. Bella had been captured by Victoria and her minion Riley. They both tortured her. But Bella had refused to let them have the satisfaction of letting them know they had hurt her. But the move bites she received the more she felt something else inside her growing.

It had taken her friends 8 days to find her. But unfortunately, Victoria and Riley escaped.

The Pack bought her to the hospital and she had 5 broken ribs one of which punctured her lung. A broken arm, collarbone and dislocated. Broken wrist, hand and fingers. Broken jaw and cheek. Broken leg, knee and ankle with a few toes and dozens of bite and scratch marks.

She had been in the hospital for 3 weeks before she discharged herself. As she had seen the damage Victoria was doing knew there was only one possible solution to this situation.

So, she had snuck out of her house leaving a note for Charlie and the Pack and left to Seattle Airport. Lucky she was in a walking cast or this would be next to impossible for her to handle. But it was still a hard journey even with the wonderful pain meds the doctors had prescribed.

When she landed in Florence, she checked her phone seeing her Dad, Jake, Paul, Leah, Jarred, Embry and a few others had tried to call her multiple times. She really felt bad for leaving them but to her this was the only way.

Bella decides that she needed to talk to the Pack. Maybe for the last time. So, picking the most responsible person of the Pack she waits for him to answer.

"Hello?" A tried voice answers.

"Hi Sammie", Bella says, her saying Sam's nickname would make sure Sam knew it was her.

"Bells?"

"It is me Sam", Bella replies.

"Bella!" Sam exclaims, "Where are you? Are you ok?…"

"I'm fine Sam. Just a little tired", Bella replies.

"You shouldn't take off on us Bells. You have a leech out to get you! Where are you so we can. Get you?"

"How is Charlie?" Bella asks.

"He is worried out of his mind like we are. You only just got out of the hospital and on AMA too! So where are you?"

Bella felt guilty knowing what she was putting her family through but this was the only way for them all to be safe.

Something told her the Volturi would help and that they wouldn't kill her.

"I'm afraid I can't tell you Sam. Please tell everyone I love them", Bella tells him.

"Bella that sounds a lot like a final goodbye"

"It is Sammie. Just know I'm doing this so Victoria can't harm anyone else. I WILL protect you all. Know that I am thankful for having you all in my life. And please look after Charlie for me. He is going to need all the support you can give"

"Bella…"

"I love brother. Tell the others I'm sorry and I love them too. Live well…", Bella says to him.

"Bella don't do this!"

"This is the only way", Bella replies and before Sam could sag anything else she hung up.

She sobs she didn't want to hurt them but she had too.

Bella's phone basically rings a few seconds after she hang up. But all Bella did was remove the battery and pocketed the sim card and throwing the phone and battery away.

She didn't need anyone trying to track her down.

Bella didn't let anyone see her face as it was badly scarred. She let her hair fall naturally over it and used a bit of her power to divert attention from it. A voice told her not to be ashamed of those scars. But sometimes Bella couldn't help it.

She moved slowly to a Cab rank and got in the first available one.

"Where do Signoria?" the Cabbie asks nervously seeing her face for a brief moment before his mind was drawn away from it. Not on its own accord.

"Volterra", Bella replies.

"That is a far way Signoria. Are you sure?"

"Very and money is not the issue. Just get me there as fast as you can", Bella replies leaning back with a pained sigh.

She knows the Cabbie was worried and was unsure about her. She wasn't surprised as she looked a mess. 8 days of torture and 3 weeks in the hospital would do that to a person. She hoped the Volturi would ease her suffering in the form of death or even give her the opportunity to be changed. Her life in exchange for those she loves. Hopefully it will appeal to the Volturi. Hopefully her power and potential would appeal to the Volturi.

Bella knew somehow the Volturi was the right option to save everybody she loved and somehow, she knew they would ease her suffering.

'The Volturi will marvel at our power. Death will not greet us', a voice in her head tells her.

This voice had been with her since the James 'incident' when the venom touched her system. It had told her NEVER to tell the Cullen's this information and so far, the voice hadn't lead her wrong. It had warned her about Edward. But because of the bastards 'dazzling' technic she hadn't paid attention to it.

She knew that Jasper would NEVER hurt her. She KNEW he had felt the bloodlust of 6 other vampires and as Edward's singer her blood would have called to him 10 times as strong. So, it was enviable that Jasper would snap. If Edward hadn't flung her into the table with glass, she would have been alright this she KNEW.

This whole Victoria situation was his and that Coven's fault. Only Jasper and Emmett were exempt from that as they had wanted to go after her. But they were overruled. Bella wounded why the hell they would ignore an empathist. Bloody Edward and Alice had nearly every member of that Coven wrapped around their fingers.

Time flow and before Bella knew it, she was arriving at Volterra. Bella had to admit it was a beautiful city. Not what she expected from a city secretly ruled by Vampires. But she could see the charm.

'Soon we will be what we were made to be', the voice in her mind purrs.

Bella pays the Cabbie and takes her small bag of belongings out. Puts her scarf around her head and face. And looked at the city. She was finally here in Volterra where her future awaited her…
