A/N: Alright, here it is: the chapter that we have all been waiting for. I hope that is up to your expectations.

Chapter 15

James POV
I wasted no time following Aro’s instructions. The Cullen’s couldn’t be more than a day behind me and I’d already spent half a day in Volterra. I wasn’t concerned though. I still had more than enough time to set the trap.
Aro had Alec drive Bella and I back to the airport. Once we arrived, we set out through Pisa on foot. It wasn’t entirely ideal because Bella was still weak and it was taking a lot of time moving at her human pace but it was the only option. I wanted them to be able to follow our scent and it was the best way to guarantee that they would find us in the spot that Aro had chosen.
As soon as we were safely away from the city, I scooped Bella up and started running. Aro said that there was a villa about twenty miles outside Volterra. Bella and I were to stay there until I could feel that the Cullen’s were close. He said that there was a giant rock outcropping close by that I could use to protect my back. Bella, of course, would protect my front. They wouldn’t dare attack me if Bella was in danger.
The guard would wait downwind so that the Cullen’s wouldn’t be able to catch their scent. They had their own tracker, Dimitri, that could tell when the Cullen’s got close to our position. Alec would then be dispatched to paralyze them so they could be destroyed.
I smiled at the thought. They had no idea what was in store for them. Well, that might not be entirely true. Alice may have seen it. Hopefully, they would come anyway. Hopefully, the lure of revenge and the rescue of Bella was enough to draw them in.
“Soon, Bella…” I whispered into her ear as she slumbered. “Soon, you’ll belong to me and no one else.”
I slowed down as I came into view of the small villa that Aro had described. I decided to put Bella inside first and then to do some scouting. I wanted to make sure that the terrain was going to work the way that I needed it too. I opened the door and walked in. No one had been here in ages. That much was obvious from the thick layer of dust that coated everything. I set Bella down on the dusty bed. She was still asleep. The hike out of the city must have really drained her energy. I frowned, realizing the fact that Bella hadn’t eaten in a while. I forgot that she needed to eat more often than I did. I would make sure that I got her something when this was all over. She was getting far too weak.
I left Bella inside and walked outside. I looked the large rock formation over for a minute. It was perfect for the strategy that Aro had put into place. The rock ensured that there was no way that the Cullen’s could flank me and try to surround me. Bella’s presence would dissuade them from outright attacking me. The guard was hiding in the forest about five miles away. I could feel Aro’s presence with my gift. Everything was falling into place. Victory would be mine and the Cullen’s doom was sealed. All I had to do was wait and sit back to watch the show.

Bella POV
I woke up slowly and looked around bewildered. I was laying on a filthy bed. I had no recollection on how I got there. The last thing that I remembered was walking through Pisa from the airport. I remembered James picking me up and then I must have fallen asleep.
I stood up and stretched my aching body. Ugh! I was tired of feeling so weak all the time. I just wanted to feel normal again.
Normal.
That was something that I felt that I would never be again. If somehow I survived this twisted game that James was playing and found my way back to Edward, I wouldn’t be the same. The old Bella was carefree and trusting. That Bella was gone. James had effectively killed her. I didn’t know if I’d be able to trust anyone ever again. The old Bella wasn’t scared of much. I wouldn’t describe myself as a coward now, but I was definitely a lot more paranoid about things. I knew that the most mundane tasks were going to be hard. Anything that involved being in public or spending time around people other than my family was going to cause problems. Just the thought of Mike Newton caused me to be short of breath. How was I ever supposed to get passed this?
I tried to distract myself from agonizing over how I had changed by thinking about the meeting that James had with the old vampire. Aro was his name. I shuddered when I recalled his image in my mind. His milky, red eyes and translucent, papery skin had unnerved me. Then the vagueness of the whole thing. They had hardly even said anything. I wondered if Aro had some kind of power. It seemed that he could communicate without spoken words. Like telekinesis or something. James had touched him. Then Aro had touched me. I shuddered once again as I remembered his cold hand grasping mine. I didn’t hear anything when he did that. But that didn’t mean anything. Edward wasn’t able to hear my mind either. Maybe I really was defective. Whatever the case was I felt that nothing good could come of Aro’s involvement.
Not only was I freaked out about Aro’s appearance and touch, but also by the cryptic request that he had made. Aro wanted James to lure the Cullen’s to the countryside. His word choice alone made it sound like a trap. What was the message that he spoke of? I was afraid for my vampire family. I would have to try to warn them about my suspicions. If any of them were harmed trying to rescue me, I could never live with the guilt that I would feel. It was my fault that I’d fallen into James’ trap. I should be the one to pay for my mistake. Not them.
I was also worried because there were so many of them. There were at least thirty vampires in that cold, circular room. There was no way that my vampire family could escape from a confrontation unscathed. I knew that they were coming. James seemed convinced and he wasn’t running anymore. He was ready for the confrontation that was sure to happen. The thought of Edward fighting with James was enough to make my stomach churn with nausea. Whatever was going to happen would happen soon. I was more scared than I had ever been. I was second guessing my decision to call Carlisle in the first place. If I hadn’t they would be safe at home.
I was lost in my musings when the front door opened. Think of the devil and he shall appear.
“Oh, good. You’re awake. Come, my little pet, it is time.”
Time. The moment that I’ve been dreading. My heart started pounding in my chest. I was a ball of fear. So much was at stake. Not just my own life hung in the balance. The lives of each member of the Cullen family were in danger. I swallowed the bile that had risen in my throat.
James grabbed my trembling hand with his smooth, marble one and pulled me through the door. It was twilight. I felt another pang of regret at getting Edward and his family mixed up in this mess. Rosalie was right. They would have been better off if I’d never been involved in their lives.
James picked me up and in a flash we were by a large rock formation. He placed his back to the rock and put me down in front of him. What on earth was he doing? Then it dawned on me. He was going to use me as a shield. Was there no end to his cruelty?
I positively detested him with every fiber of my being. He was going to make me stand between himself and my family. I turned and glared at him. “I’m glad that I mean so much to you, you egotistic bastard.”
He smiled at my outburst. “Yes, you’re very useful to me. Don’t worry. Nothing will happen to you, love. They wouldn’t hurt their precious human. I’m counting on it.”
Abruptly, his eyes focused on something in the distance. His features hardened into a horrifying mask. I turned to see what had captured his attention. I squinted into the diminishing light. Damn my human eyesight. I couldn’t see anything in the distance. I could hear something, very faintly. Then, all of a sudden, Edward materialized not ten yards away from us.
I sucked in a ragged breath and stepped forward, forgetting all about James for the moment. “Edward…”
James jerked me backwards, pulling me quickly to his hard body. I gasped, shocked by impact on my body from slamming into his. He growled into my ear, causing the hairs on the back of my neck to stand on end.
“Stay right there, Bella. I’ll only warn you once. Don’t test me.”
After James’ display, Edward was full on growling. He was positively quivering with rage. He snarled, “Let her go, James. This is between the two of us. Be a man. Fight me.”
James laughed hollowly. He pulled me closer until I was pushed against his body, with his front pressed against my back. He grasped my throat with one hand to hold me there flush against his granite body. He started playing with my hair with his other hand. I closed my eyes and shuddered, chilled by both his close proximity and the coolness of his body. He put his chin down on my shoulder turning his face so that every breath he took fanned across my neck. He took a deep breath inhaling my scent.
He said, “You are very fast, aren’t you Edward? That’s why you are alone. But you’re wrong. You involved her in this. You brought her into our world. How does that make you feel? Knowing that it is your fault that she’s here in danger. Knowing that it’s your fault that I’m able to touch her like this.”
His lips grazed my throat with every word he spoke and his hands were traveling south. He caressed my breast, brushing his cold fingers across my nipple. I squirmed and a tear escaped my eye. It rolled down my cheek as I twisted trying desperately to escape his grasp. James stopped its progress with his tongue and traced the path back to my eye. I was disgusted. I couldn’t believe that he had the audacity to touch me like that right in front of Edward.
Edward looked downright murderous. If looks alone were enough to kill then James would be no more than a smoldering pile of ashes. He lowered himself into a crouch, preparing to attack. I knew what James was trying to do. He was trying to provoke Edward into a fight before the rest of his family arrived. James figured he could eliminate him before the others showed up.
Fear clogging my throat, I choked the words out. “Edward, don’t! It’s what he wants. Don’t let him manipulate you!”
Edward’s face was a mask of pain as he watched James’ demonstration. He looked like he was at war with himself.
“Edward, please,” I rasped out softly.
Finally, he straightened up and glanced behind him. The rest of his family appeared beside him. Each individual one wore an identical mask. Hatred and rage were apparent on each one of their beautiful faces. Rosalie in particular looked rather terrifying. It was almost odd. I knew she didn’t like me. I was frightened and I wanted to go home but I had to warn them before it was too late. If this was a trap, they had to get themselves out. And they had to do it now.
James must have somehow sensed what I was going to do. His hand tightened on my throat to the point that I could barely draw a breath, much less speak. Each subsequent lungful of air became more and more difficult.
Carlisle stepped in front of his family. He looked pained as he spoke, “There is no need for violence, James. Let’s talk like rational beings. We can work this out.”
James chuckled darkly. I could feel the vibrations of his laugh rumbling against my back. I was terrified. My eyes darted from one face to another. I tried to communicate to them that they had to leave. Something wasn’t right. I could sense it.
James said, “What is there to talk about? I know you didn’t follow me all the way to Italy to talk. You know that too, don’t you? So lets cut the bullshit. It appears that we are at an impasse. I have what you want. But she’s not something that I will voluntarily give up.”
I stared wide-eyed at my family. Each second that passed put them in more and more danger. Surely their lives were worth more than mine alone. I had to get the message through to them. I locked eyes with Edward silently pleading with him to hear me just this once. He glanced at Jasper and that’s when I first felt it. A wave of lethargy washed over my body. It felt like I was going to pass out. I knew it was Jasper’s doing as I felt my legs fold out from under me. I would have hit the ground if it wasn’t for James hold on my throat. I felt James slump against the rock and his grip on my throat loosened. At the same time, I saw blurred images jumping towards James and myself.
It was all so confusing. There was so much hissing and growling. Not to mention that everyone was moving so fast that I couldn’t track the movement with my human eyes. Someone pulled me from James’ grasp and ran with me away from the fight. I looked up at my savior.

Alice.
She smiled at me. I tried to speak. I had to warn her. “Alice…”
She put her cool, wintry finger against my dry, chapped lips. “Shh…You’re safe now, Bella.”
She carried me to Esme. I cleared my throat. I said, “You don’t understand. It’s a…” I was interrupted by a high pitched keening wail and a gruesome ripping noise. I looked up to see James held in between Jasper and Emmett. His face was contorted with pain and fear. I’d never seen him look so vulnerable. It seemed that he was missing part of one arm. I saw Edward toss it aside to the ground. It landed with a dull thump.
I was a bit startled. This was a side to my vampires that I’d never witnessed. Edward was shaking with fury. Esme and Alice held me close as the scene played out.
“You thought that you could just waltz into our territory and take my daughter away from my family,” Carlisle stated. “You were mistaken when you thought that you could get away with it.” His speech was punctuated periodically by the same horrific noise as a piece of James’ body was removed.
Rosalie had a built a fire and was tossing each piece into the blaze. Foul smelling smoke was beginning to clog the air making it even more difficult to breath. The shadows danced across their faces as they systematically destroyed him. James made no noise. He seemed resigned to his fate. Now all that remained was his torso and head.
Carlisle said, “I saved your head for last. I wanted you to witness the destruction of your body. No one messes with my family. It is the ultimate transgression in my eyes. It’s too bad that you had to find out the hard way. I’m against violence in most situations but your crimes were extreme. The pits of hell are the only place you deserve to spend eternity in.”
As soon as the last word fell from his lips Edward leapt forward and wrenched James’ head from his body. He tossed it into the blaze and Carlisle kicked his torso in. He was gone.
I shuddered violently from the cooling air and the spectacle that I’d just witnessed. Edward walked slowly toward me with his hands raised. “Bella… I’m not going to hurt you.”
He took me gently from Alice and pulled me close to his body. I breathed in his delicious essence and it calmed me instantly. I had missed him so much.
“Bella…” His cool, sweet breath fanned across my face as he leaned in to kiss me.
I held up my hand. “Stop.” A look of confusion and distress flitted across his perfect face. He thought that I was rejecting him. I swallowed thickly. “Edward. It’s not safe. It’s a trap.”
At that moment, Edward stiffened and turned. Aro came gliding through the smoke. He was flanked by ten other vampires that I recognized from before. Edward pushed me behind him protectively. He held my hand, tracing reassuring circles on my palm.
“Carlisle, my old friend. What a surprise. It’s so good to see you once again. And with your lovely family. What happened here?” He gestured to the purple pillar of smoke that was clogging the air and swirling around their figures.
Carlisle cleared his throat and answered, “ Aro. It has been too long my good friend. I trust things are well. Don’t worry. It wasn’t a major problem. Just a little something that we had to take care of. How are things with you and yours?”
Aro pinned his cloudy, crimson eyes on me causing my heart to beat wildly in fear as he answered, “I’ve been simply wonderful. Although recently, I’ve been told the most enchanting tale. A cronicle that I demand a full clarification on. A series of events that revolve around your dearest Bella.”
He paused for a moment, regarding each of the Cullen’s individually. His gaze lingered on Alice, Edward, and Jasper for a beat longer than the others. Then he returned his cold gaze to Carlisle. It was silent as they regarded each other. The only sound to be heard was the impossibly deafening thundering of my heart as it beat furiously with fear. I’m sure that they all could hear it. This was bad. This was very bad. The Cullen’s glanced at each other apprehensively.
Another vampire with long, flowing black hair stepped up beside Aro. He put his fingertip to Aro’s palm. Something seemed to flow between them. Whatever it was pleased Aro. He smiled, but there was nothing remotely warm in his expression. It was chillingly, sinister.
“That was very revealing. Thank you, Marcus.”

Marcus swept back to his place in the line as Aro continued. “Let me explain. Marcus sees relationships. What he has just showed me is rather unexpected and disheartening. Carlisle, please enlighten me as to how a human came to become a member of your family?”

End Note: Well, what did you think? Leave me some love.
