Thank you for the feed back guys, also I'd like to remind you that bella and Aro were only trying to get a reaction out of the Cullen's, they don't really plan to slaughter the pack. Enjoy, let me know what you think.
As I watched Emmett come barreling for me, I dare to say I would almost feel bad for him. I pressed my foot harder into Rosalie's back hearing the faint groaning and cracking coming from her rock hard skin. I looked up with a smirk on my face, and finally made eye contact with the angry beast that was Emmett. Thanks to my sheild, I could slightly feel what everyone it touched was feeling, not like jasper, but I could feel their general moods and if they had any emotional spikes also I know if they are a threat or not. None of the Cullen's were a threat at the moment, I could feel they're fear and panic, but I could also detect high doses of confusion coming from Carlisle and jasper aswell. They were probably confused as to why none of the guard was stepping in. I almost laughed, if only they knew what I was capable of. Just as Emmett was about to lunge for me, his legs tensing as they readied to spring, his eyes suddenly glazed, a growl ripping from his chest as he stopped in his tracks, and then he was turning around, his gaze locked on Alice, and he was off. My shield had made him unknowingly pick another target, one where in his mind, would be me. I smirked as Alice shrieked as he snarled at her, charging the small pixie vampire. I sat back and watched, my heel still digging comfortably into the middle of Rosalie's shoulder blades. Jasper immediately had Alice behind him, crouched and ready to attack to defend his mate, like I knew he would be.
"Emmett! That's Alice! " Edward screamed, turning his glare to me.
"What are you doing to him? ! Release him from the hold you have on him! Now! " He ordered. Before I could say a word to him, he was on his knees convulsing and screaming. Jasper had intercepted Emmett before he had the chance to lunge at Alice. They had went crashing into the earth as Edward continued to scream thanks to Jane. Esme had turned into her husband, dry sobbing and Carlisle was begging my husband to make everything stop. Jasper had Emmet's arm off in no time, oh this was getting fun. I turned my head to look at my husband who was looking at Carlisle with no emotion on his handsome face, but as soon as I turned to look at him he was staring back, a light smile coming onto his face. I knew what he would say before he did.
"My love, as interesting as the show has become, I do believe you've had your fun, no? " He smiled calmly and happily, as if Edward wasn't still screaming bloody murder on the ground, Rosalie wasn't sobbing into the dirt, and the major wasn't dismembering his "brother". Ah, I loved him so.
"Yes darling, I think I have. " I said solemnly, and in an instant I was at my mates side, his hand in mine.
"Jane, thank you. " I spoke without looking at her and immediately Edward was free of the burning, he slumped further down on his knees, his hands falling from his hair where they had just been trying to pull the fiery strands out, his head lulling forward, his chin meeting his chest. I had lifted my shields influence from Emmett's mind just as jasper had been ready to behead him. A protective mate will go to great lengths when triggered. Rosalie was now beginning to reattach her mates arm, significantly more resigned and silent.
"Carlisle, as the coven leader of this coven, you are responsible for each and everyone of your coven mate's actions. If you had been anyone else you'd be a pile of ashes. The crimes your coven mate has committed against a Volturi Royal is punishable by death. Do you have no control over your "family" at all?" I sneered the last word. Carlisle sobered up, still looking slightly sullen.
"I am truly sorry my Queen, I haven't the slightest why my daughter would do something so selfishly, but I can assure you it will never happen again. I apologize on behalf of my son's as well. I know we are undeserving of it, but still I must ask for your forgiveness your highness."
"Pardons are rare and wide within our ruling, of which I'm sure you are already aware of from your time with us Carlisle. Unfortunately for you, I have a one strike rule, let this happen again, and I'm afraid you will be out of luck old friend. " my husband drawled smoothly. I could see as well as slightly feel the Cullen's relief. All of them probably sure they would die for what rosalie did.
"You are lucky my husband is fond of you, you wouldn't have faired so well in my own judging." I stared at Carlisle emotionless, I could feel his muted sadness and the shock that spurred in him at my words.
"I wish I could say how pleasant the visit was, Carlisle." Aro announced and turned us, another second ticked by and we were gone, vanishing into the woods on our way to LaPush.
"You just love to stir up trouble don't you Is." Caius chuckled. I smiled over at him as we ran.
"Only when it has the potential to be as fun as that was." I laughed, my brother's joining in along with my husband.
"I love you more each day Isabella." Aro told me, I squeezed his hand.
"As do I. " I gazed lovingly at him.
"I can smell them." Marcus stated, pulling my attention away from Aro.
"They smell horrendous, maybe we should just kill them? "
"Caius." I growled playfully, at which he laughed.
"We are entering their territory, be alert, they will soon close in on us."
I whispered. I felt as soon as they were near by, my shield detected their essence, telling me a threat was coming.
"They've entered my perimeter, only two are phased." I told them. Soon a howl rang in our ears.
"They are alerting the others? " Caius asked warily.
"Yes, you are already wrapped in my shield brother, 500 of them wouldn't be able to get to you. " I assured him, choosing not to be sarcastic about it, knowing werewolves of any kind still made him slightly fearful.
"Your sheild really is quite amazing sister." Marcus commented.
"Thank you brother. " just then we could hear several sets of paws heading our way.
"How many honey? "
"Seven are phased, I'm not sure if there are more unphased." I informed my husband. We stopped, the guards forming a front in front of us, protecting us, even though my sheild covered them as well. We could hear them getting closer and closer until they skidded to a stop in front of us. They were all crouched and snarling, drool dripping from some of their K9s. They were a pretty scary sight yet, none of us showed any emotion other than boredom.
"Perhaps you would be more qualified to take charge of the situation my love. " Aro suggested, as the wolves snarled at us, one taking a step closer.
"Do not try to attack, you will die. You have our word that we will not attack you. We request the Alpha phase back so we may speak." I said. A snarl ripped it's way from one of their throats. "I am asking nicely, if you would please phase back Alpha black, you will not be harmed. " and the wolves went crazy, barking and growling and snarling as they tried to figure out how we knew their alpha's name. A large brown wolf turned his head and barked, silencing the others protest, and then he phased, pulling on shorts. I almost gasped, as I took him in, he looked so much like Jacob, a stab of sorrow flew through my heart for my old friend.
"Who are you, and how do you know my name leech. If you are with the Cullen's the treaty is void as you have crossed the treaty line, we would be within our rights to tear you apart." He growled. His pack making noises of encouragement.
"Please shifter, you and I both know you are out numbered, if you had even managed to get close to us, which you wouldn't be able to, we could slaughter your whole pack without you even realizing it, show some respect, you are talking to a Queen. " Marcus sneered. I nodded my thanks to my brother.
"Who are you? What do you mean a queen? " He asked. His face showed none of his emotions but as my shield swept over him I could sense his fear.
"We are not with the Cullen's, we are the Volturi, the rulers of the vampire world, I am Queen Isabella, And these are King Aro, King Caius, and King Marcus, we are accompanied by some of our guard. We have not come to hurt you or anyone in your tribe, with the expectation you treat us with the respect we deserve. Now, what is your names? "
They all sobered up during my speech, taking in the seriousness we brought.
"I am David Black, And this is my pack, Saul Ateara, James Cameron, Kane Fuller, Carl Clearwater, Embry Call, and John Lahote." He said hesitantly.
"Embry Call, are you a third or fourth? " I asked. The dark grey wolf stirred, and changed, not bothering with his shorts, he resembled Embry but not as much as David resembled Jacob.
"I am Embry Call the third. How do you know that? " He asked. You could tell they were now grasping that we knew more than they had first thought.
"I was great friends with the very first Embry Call, you are certainly honored to have his name. " I told him honestly. Embry and David both gasped.
"You knew my great grandfather? " Embry asked shocked. I nodded.
"I knew all of your great grandfathers."
Their eyes widened and the wolves went crazy.
"I'm guessing you left some of your pack behind to watch the reservation, which explains why you are missing your beta." Uley is always beta, I could only assume he was protecting the tribe when I didn't hear the name.
"How do you know so much about us? " David asked, uncertain.
"Maybe we should meet at the council hall, before I explain, with the elders, they're going to want to be involved. " I suggested. David seemed to think about it.
"How do we know we can trust you on our land, near our families, and our elders?" He asked cautiously. I nodded, I understood his worries.
"You don't, all I can give you is my word." I stated honestly.
Line break
"They have agreed, you can enter now." David said, and stepped out of the way so we could enter the meeting room, the rest of the pack following them closely. As we entered into the room I could see four very old humans sitting at a long wooden conference table, all male, some older than others. Each of their faces were hard and wary, but my sheild was already reaching out, tasting their emotions and motives. They were all fearful, worried and uncertain.
"There is no reason to be afraid, we will not harm you. " I assured them. They all looked very perplexed, they all were curious but ones fear spiked.
"You can know what we feel." The one on the end stated fearfully.
"I can, but I insist you calm down, we are only here to talk and too much fear is not good for human health. Let me introduce us. I am Queen Isabella, these are my brother's King Caius, and King Marcus, my mate and coven leader King Aro, and our guard. We are the Volturi, as I'm sure you've been told. " I introduced us.
"If you are not the Coven leader, why do you lead? " The one to the left of the end asked.
"My mate is more familiar with your kind, and your history so she will be taking lead, but I do think it only fair that you also introduce yourselves as our Queen has already done. " Aro spoke, placing an arm around my waist under my cloak.
"My name is Charles Black, this is Jerry Ateara, Tyno Clearwater and William Uley. My grandson has informed me you are quite informed of us, and I'd like to know how. Our Legends are strictly tribe only and if someone told you of them from our tribe it is a great offense." Charles explained. I nodded and smirked.
"And what is the punishment for such a deed? " I asked.
"For adults the punishment can be as severe as being exiled, for minors the punishments are steep but more lenient. Are you trying to protect someone? "
"Not at all , I just think you'll have some problems with my answer. " I tried to hold my smirk back.
"Why would that be? Who told you? "
"Your father. " I answered honestly. His eyes grew wide, as did the other's. The pack both gasped and growled.
"You must be mistaken, my father has been dead for some time now. " He shook his head.
"I know, I sent flowers." Again everyone began to murmur. Charles still didn't look convinced.
"Surely you haven't forgotten, the white roses, they were his favorite. " I explained sorrowfully, of course I had been keeping tabs on Jacob black , I knew when he imprinted, on a little girl no more than 2, or when she grew up and he married her, or when they had their first child, And their last, little Charlie. And I will never forget the sorrow I felt when I was told he had died. I knew Jacob provided for his family, but just like the rest of the families on the reservation, he still struggled some, so when I heard of his death i didn't want his family to struggle. Inclosed in an envelope attached to the flowers was $100,000 cash. The vase had been hand delivered by a Volturi grey guard, who had the power of scent masking, hiding and changing.
Everyone in the room was now going crazy, all except Charles who's eyes became as big as saucers, I was afraid the old man would have a heart attack.
"It was you." He whispered, silencing the whole room. Tyno suddenly gasped, his own eyes widening.
"It was. "
"Why? Why would you send my mother so much money? How could you possibly know we were struggling to bury him? I don't understand. "
"I did it so his family, parden, your family would not have to suffer and worry, and he deserved a beautiful home going, he had a beautiful soul. "
"Please, how do you know that? " Charles practically begged.
"My maiden name is Swan, Isabella Swan. " I answered. The four elders gasped again, each of their eyes widening. A sob escaped Charles' old lips, his hands slamming onto the table, and his shoulders rocked.
"Grand father? " David asked alarmed.
"David, please help me up. "
He was immediately at his grandfathers side helping him off the raised area where the tabel sat. After he was down her turned and strode confidently, if not a little weakly over to me. Immediately Jane and Felix were in front of me, hissing. He stepped back surprised and afraid. The pack growled.
"Jane, Felix, at ease. " I rolled my eyes. What did they seriously think he would do, he was human, a very old one at that. They fell back into there ranks and I stepped forward out of Aro's arms. He looked up into my eyes and all traces of fear and uncertainty vanished. He strode right up to me and stopped only a foot away, the pack were all looking on disbelievingly, they were tense, ready to attack. As I felt his emotions I knew what he wanted and smiled for the first time. I met him half way as he threw his arms around me in embrace, I could feel my guards shock, as I never hug anyone unless they are truly close to me. The pack's jaws must have been to the floor with the levels of surprise and shock I felt rolling off of them. I squeezed the old man a bit tighter when I felt him begin to weep.
"Thank you, thank you so much. "
He cried.
"You are most welcome Charlie." I told him sincerely.
"Grand father, what is going on? " David asked, shocked and confused.
"David, there is so much to explain. "
AN: what did you think? Why did Jacob's son react the way he did to bella? What kind of secrets do you think bella has? What do the other elders know? Review let me know what you think, Asha
