A/N: Here it is.

Thank you so much for the reviews, favorites, and kudos.

It's not my playground just my slide.

I have no beta.

After Esme punched Carlisle in the face and cracked his jaw, she was pulled away from him so that she wouldn't be able to attack him again. There were more questions that needed to be answered, and we all knew when she found out what Carlisle has done, she was going to wig out on him. I'm hoping I win the betting pool.

"Aro, what did you read in Alice's thoughts?" Marcus asked.

"Alice has been lying about everything. She remembers everything about her childhood, her real name, and even why she was put into the mental health facility where she was diagnosed as clinically insane. It seems that Alice has always had a violent streak and used to intentionally harm her younger sister just so she can watch her bleed. There was one particular incident where she nearly killed her sister and by then her parents had enough. They tried everything they could think of to cure her of the addiction to violence, but nothing worked. They even went so far as to drag her to a priest to perform an exorcism on her. When that failed they had her institutionalized.

While at the institution, she caught James feeding on another patient and was fascinated. She asked him to change her. She knew she would be able to hurt even more people as a vampire. Unfortunately, her insanity only got worse after her change."

"So she's essentially a nut job," I said quietly to my dad.

"I can hear you," Alice sneered at me.

"Well, no shit Sherlock. I said it out loud," I snapped back at her. I looked over at Caius who just looked amused. I just shrugged my shoulders.

"Is there anything else?' Marcus asked again.

"Yes, she is not Jasper's mate. She lied to him because she thought it would be funny to mess with the reaper of the south," Aro said.

Everyone looked over to Jasper to gauge his reaction. He just stood there and shrugged. "I already knew she wasn't my mate. I've known for a long time now. I just put up with it because I knew she was up to something," he said.

"Alright, then, Alice Cullen, you have been found guilty of breaking our laws. You are hereby sentenced to death," Marcus motioned to Felix who grabbed a hold of Alice and dragged her over to the center of the throne room. She fought, kicked, and screamed the entire time and didn't stop until the flames engulfed her head. Soon she was nothing more than ash.

"Now we will be dealing with Edward," Marcus said. "Caius, if you will."

"Edward, you not only exposed our world to a multitude of women spanning the past fifty years, but you had the unmitigated gall to play your games with my granddaughter," Caius growled his red eyes turning black from anger.

"I...I never did anything to your granddaughter," Edward sputtered. "I don't know your granddaughter," he insisted.

"I can assure you that you most certainly did," Caius responded heatedly. Caius looked like he was ready to relieve Edward of his head. This was more entertaining than I thought it would be.

"Aro, really, do you think it's fair that Edward is being accused of something he didn't do," Carlisle asked while interrupting my grandpa. Aro refused to even look at Carlisle much less respond to his attempts of manipulation.

"You will cease your pointless interruptions," Marcus ordered angrily.

"As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, you most certainly did play your games with my granddaughter who you know as Bella Swan," said Caius with a sadistic gleam in his eye. You could just tell that he has been looking forward to this. "We already know of your guilt and judgment has already been made. A very special request has been made in this case and granted." Caius gestured to Felix who took a hold of both of Edward's arms so he couldn't make a break for it.

My dad turned to me and said, "You might want to turn away from this."

"Hell no, I would pay to watch this," I said as everyone around me nodded their heads in excitement.

My dad shrugged and walked over to Caius. "We meet again, Edwin. You know, I never liked you. I saw through your bullshit from day one. I've been trained to pinpoint bullshit artists, and I have gone up against ones that were far better than you are at it."

Edward snorted, "You're going to let a human try to punish me."

"No, I'm going to let a human punish you. You seem to have forgotten who I was in my human life," Caius pointed out. "I have always enjoyed weaponry," he said as he walked over to his throne and lovingly picked up a sword. "This beauty is one of my own creations. You see, I wanted to create a weapon that would be able to slice through vampire flesh with no resistance. I forged it using pulverized werewolf bone and vampire ash."

He walked over toward my dad and handed the sword to him. The sword was based on the claymore which in history was a devastating weapon on the battlefield. It was a sharp two-edged sword with a blade that was nearly four feet in length and a hilt that was made of the same material and had a thirteen-inch grip that was wrapped in what looked like leather.

Dad picked it up with little difficulty despite it being heavy and made his way over to Edward. "You're nothing more than a spoiled snot-nosed brat. You prey on the weaker to make yourself feel tough. Tell me, Edward, do you still feel tough after this?" Dad said as he swung the sword. It sliced through Edward's right arm with no trouble at all. The arm fell to the floor with a loud thud. Edward's screams were ear piercing which made my dad smile even more.

"Aro, stop this brutality at once," Carlisle cried out in horror. Ironically enough, Esme just stood there grinning.

Aro wisely chose to ignore him. What Carlisle didn't know was that both Marcus and Caius had ordered Aro to not step in and interfere with any punishments. If he were to do so, his actions would be viewed as treasonous.

While everyone was distracted by Carlisle's interruption, my dad lunged forward and pierced Edward's chest with the sword. He managed to push it in so far that it came out his back. Edward screamed even more which only made my dad smile in glee.

"Well, I certainly did enjoy that," dad said while stepping back and out of Caius's way. Caius moved forward and grabbed the hilt of the sword and yanked it out, leaving Edward as a sobbing heap on the floor and in a puddle of his own venom.

Caius took a cloth from his back pocket and wipe the venom off the blade. "See, this sword is a thing of beauty."

"Edward Cullen, you have been found guilty of exposing vampires to multiple humans. You are lucky that the other women are dead. However, since you left Isabella Swan alive and since she was the wronged party, she gets to choose how you will be put to death," Marcus said as he turned to me.

I didn't expect this but was definitely happy about it. "Wow! Christmas has come early," I said as I rubbed my hands together in glee. "I want him to feel all the pain he caused to all of those women. What he did to them needs to be done to him."

Caius looked at me with pride. "Good choice, little one," he said gesturing to Demetri and Felix. They dragged Edward to the middle of the room and proceeded to torture him. His girly screams echoed throughout which had me giggling. Edward Cullen was your typical bully. He preyed on those who were weaker but when someone tougher messes with him he starts crying.

Carlisle tried to break free from Alec's hold but he was unable to do so. He screamed and begged Aro to stop the torture, but Aro still ignored him. Carlisle watched as Edward was lit on fire. "Why would you do this?" he cried.

The brothers ignored his cries and Aro stepped forward to grab Esme's hand. After a few moments, he gently released it and walked over to the ice bitch and read her. He threw her hand away as if it was contaminated. Aro wiped his hand on his robes as he walked back to his throne. "Esme is innocent. She knew nothing of Alice and Edward's dirty deeds and she has actually filed for a divorce and was leaving Carlisle."

Jasper and Emmett nodded already knowing that Esme no longer had feelings for Carlisle. I felt a sense of relief knowing that Esme was not involved.

"And the blond bimbo?" Caius asked.

"She knew everything. While she found it disturbing that Alice and Edward enjoyed torturing innocent women, she chose to turn a blind eye to it. The Cullen coven had a lot of money which allowed her to live the type of luxurious life she had while she was human. I would also like to point out that Emmett is not her mate," Aro finished looking exhausted which was strange because vampires never tire.

"I didn't do anything wrong. Alice and Edward tortured those girls. I never took part in it," Rosalie yelled her shrill voice sounding like nails being dragged down a blackboard.

"You were complicit. You knew what they were doing and chose to turn a blind eye to it," Marcus said.

In a moment of panic, Rosalie tried to lunge at me. "Then I'll kill this bitch," she growled like a rabid dog.

Jane stepped in from of me and released her gift on the ice bitch. Rosalie stopped dead in her tracks and collapsed on the floor screaming in agony. I laughed at her as she cried and begged for Jane to stop.

"Felix, if you would be so kind," he said gesturing to Rosalie. He quickly dismembered her and threw a lighter on her. A glance at Emmett showed him smiling and joking with one of the guard members I hadn't met yet. Rosalie's death meant nothing to him.

"You certainly got your hands on a dysfunctional coven, Carlisle. I always knew you couldn't handle the responsibilities of what being a coven leader entailed."

"We aren't even near being finished. Carlisle, is there anything you would like to confess to?" Marcus asked.

Carlisle shook his head. "No, I haven't done anything else."

"Do you really think lying to us is going to help you get out of your punishment?" Caius asked

"Well, since you refuse to tell the truth, you leave it to us. Esme," Marcus started. Carlisle roared and tried to break free. Alec used his gift to completely immobilize him only allowing him his ability to see and hear. "As I was saying, Esme, I am sorry to inform you that Carlisle lied to you. You are not his mate. In fact, he already knows who his mate is and chose to reject him."

The look on Esme's face did not bode well for Carlisle. "You selfish son of a bitch. You lied to me. As a result of being married to your spineless pathetic ass, I wasted almost a century of my life. I've never lied to you, but that wouldn't mean a thing to you." For a split second, I thought she was done. However, she proved me wrong when ran over to him and tackled him. She tore his face up with her long nails. Venom was oozing from several deep gouges. She tore his arms off and used one to beat him over the head repeatedly. With no way to defend himself, Carlisle just laid there as Esme continued her assault. The final indignity she forced upon him was to grab a tight hold of his groin area and rip his dick off. Carlisle's wails were louder than even Edward's had been.

Marcus stepped forward, wrapped his arms around Esme's shoulders, and moved her away from the whining Carlisle. The gentle care he exhibited to Esme had me curious. I looked around me and every guard member had the same quizzical look on their faces as I had on mine.

"Aro, the floor is yours," Caius said while taking a step back.

Aro stood there quietly for a moment. The look of utter betrayal could be seen in his eyes. He was hurting. "As you all may or may not know, I tend to keep my personal business separate from work. It's how I have always handled things. Unfortunately, some things are out of my control. I owe this coven an apology for allowing Carlisle Cullen so much free reign and for not punishing him when he first got into trouble over three hundred years ago. If I had done my job then, he might have learned his lesson. I can only say that I was struggling with the fact that my mate turned his back on our bond, and I was so desperate to not lose him that I gave in to him each time," he said quietly. "With that said, I have made a decision. Chelsea, please step forward," he called out.

A tall statuesque blonde stepped forward. She bowed to the brothers and waited. "Chelsea, I require you to break the mating bond between myself and Carlisle but only on my side. I want him to feel the pain I have felt for over three hundred years, the agony he forced on me."

"I can only break the bond if it has been weakened," she replied while looking over at Marcus.

Marcus nodded his head. "The bond is horribly frayed on Aro's end. You should have no issues with removing it."

It only took a minute, but the moment the bond was broken, you could see a weight having been lifted from Aro's shoulders. "Thank you," he said to her. Turning to his brothers, he said, "Do with him whatever you wish to do. I wash my hands of him," he said as he turned and walked out of the room without even giving Carlisle a second glance.

I felt bad for Aro. I couldn't imagine what it would be like to have a mate that didn't want me. It has got to hurt something fierce.

"Carlisle Cullen, you have been found guilty of breaking our most important law. From this day forward, you are prohibited from interacting with humans. Your medical license will be removed and you will remain here in Volterra for the remainder of your existence," Caius said sneering down at Carlisle's mutilated form. "Felix, Demetri, gather him together and take him down to the servant's quarters. He is to have the smallest room available. Bring him a blood bag from the freezer storage. If he refuses to drink it, then leave him."

Felix grabbed a hold of Carlisle while Demetri went around the throne room picking up the body parts that Esme graciously removed from his person. The poor guy looked sickened when he bent over to pick up Carlisle's twitching dick. I tried not to giggle, but I couldn't hold back for long. I burst out laughing. Demetri shoved the dick in his pocket and ran out of the room carrying Carlisle's arms with him. If I ever live as long as Caius, I will never be able to forget the look of disgust on Demetri's face when he was forced to man handle Carlisle's junk. God, that was so funny.

"Damn, Bells, what the hell are you laughing at?" Emmett asked.

"It's just the look on Demetri's face. The poor guy just inadvertently gave Carlisle a hand job," I snorted. "That was funnier than the tongue incident." Everyone cracked up laughing, including Marcus who I always considered being the more reserved of the Volturi kings.

"You know, I could have gone the rest of my life not needing to hear my daughter talk about any guy getting a hand job," dad said with a cringe. I rolled my eyes.

"Dad, seriously, I just watched you impale a guy," I joked which only made everyone crack up laughing again.

My dad smacked himself in the head. He walked right into that one and he knew it. "And that is my cue to get the hell out of here," he said practically running out the door.

"Well, our work is finished for now. Jasper, I was hoping that I could speak with you for a few minutes," Marcus said looking at the laughing blond. Jasper sobered up quickly and gave Marcus a quick nod. "Follow me," Marcuse gestured as he made his way out of the throne room with Jasper following behind him.

"This was interesting. I would never have guessed the amount of evil the blunder twins had perpetrated," I said still in a bit of shock over everything we heard during the trial.

"I'm amazed that Master Aro chose to have his bond to Carlisle severed. He had been holding out hope for so long," Jane sighed.

"Now he is free to pursue other interests without having an asshole for a mate hanging over his head," Emmett pointed out. "Come on. We need to figure out who won the bet."

I shook my head. I didn't have the heart to tell them that no one won the bet. I came close, but then Esme felt the need to bitch slap Carlisle with his own arm. It was so funny watching her do that. I don't mind too much about losing.

The trial had been enlightening. I couldn't believe the level of depravity that Alice and Edward were involved in. I'm glad we left Bella when we did. She would have been their next victim.

I followed Master Marcus to his study and sat down on the chair in front of his desk. I was curious about why he needed to speak to me.

"I wanted to speak to you in private regarding something I learned about last night. When I looked at Aro's bonds last night, I couldn't help but notice a few others. The one bond that I saw was the brightest and the strongest bond I have ever seen. There was a bit of fraying around the edges but was obviously healing. Jasper, Bella is your mate."
