“Welcome to Volterra again and might I say this is quite a pleasant surprise Lord Theron.” Aro greeted as they were escorted into the main chamber where Aro, Marcus and Caius were seated in their seats surrounded by other vampires. The smell of blood was thick throughout the air and it was obvious they had just got done feeding.
“I am sorry for such an unannounced visit as this but there is something that we must discuss at once as it involves your brother Caius and my daughter as well as her mate.” Theron said as he and Carlisle stopped before the dais and the others stopped behind them.
Aro nodded and raised one eyebrow toward Theron before realizing that Carlisle and the other Cullens were with Theron. “What’s happened with them?” He asked he eyes questioning the Cullens intentions there.
“It seems your brother has kidnapped Kaashaa and Jasper. The last we heard he and others of your guard were bringing them here.” Carlisle answered his voice strained but showing his confidence in front of the members of the Volturi.
“We have reason to believe that they are still here. Kaashaa was drugged Aro and the poison in her system will kill her unless Carlisle can get to her and give her the antidote.” Theron added smiling faintly his body language giving away his true intentions that he was not amused.
Theron was also positioned in such a way that if the pair provoked his other child said child would have to move through him, hopefully to be stopped as the twosome looked at each other as though silently debating the news. "We've not been informed that we would have guests." Aro said slowly carefully.
Caius shifted in his chair. “I had hoped to inform you of our guests at a later time Aro. Kaashaa came her of her own accord to fulfill her agreement to become my mate and Jasper has been accused by another and brought here for our verdict to be rendered.” He answered his eyes shifting toward the group below them then back to his brothers.
"Lies," Marcus heard the female's voice in his thoughts the intense dark gaze on his and he found himself compelled to listen to Elyshia somehow as she stepped around Theron seeming very calm like ice "You know as well as I do she'll become his mate about the time he takes a human lover and lets her live.”
Caius glared at her before turning back to his brothers. “Might I suggest we talk about this outside of so many ears so that I can explain exactly what was said?” He suggested smiling at Aro and Marcus.
Marcus, for once finding no way to fault the insistence of the female shook his head, "I think since you are being accused of what amounts to treason you should sit for once in the hot seat. If you've truly done nothing then it should be easy as biting a virgin Brother."
Aro nodded, “I agree Caius we should hear them out. It’s not often that Theron comes with accusations against a member of the Volturi unless it was really true. Now then who is this vampire that has accused Carlisle’s son and what are the charges.” Aro addressed the room thinking he had remembered seeing a new female earlier here.
"She is currently unimportant." Theron replied with an icy undertone as he recognized that Elyshia had subtly used a force of will over Marcus to their gain, "First my charge then hers if she's actually got one that isn't fabricated out of female greed."
Aro smiled, “As you wish Lord Theron.” He answered. “So Caius where is Kaashaa at? I would imagine that her father would like to look at her and hear in her own words that she is here of her own will.” He added glancing at his brother.
Caius shrugged vaguely, "Sleeping I would presume since last I saw of her she was merely jetlagged."
'Funny last -I- saw of my sister she looked closer to death than a turning vampire.' Elyshia fumed at Marcus' thoughts as she glared at Caius "Right and next you're gonna tell me you have a bridge in Switzerland to sell."
Aro cleared his throat catching everyone’s attention. “I would suggest if the young lady is merely sleeping we allow her to sleep for a little while then bring everyone together. In the mean time we’ll address the issue of the charges against Jasper and see about making you all comfortable.” He stated as if to end the argument brewing between Caius and Elyshia.
Caius nodded at his brother and motioned a female to step forward. “Maria state your charges so that all may hear them.” He said smiling evilly at the Cullens.
Maria nodded and stepped forward to the side of the group. “I come to accuse Jasper Whitlock of creating a newborn army to take control of the South then abruptly leaving said newborn army. I was able to have my group take care of the problem but we were almost exposed to humans because of his disrespect of the laws.” She glared hatefully at the Cullens only smiling when her gaze leveled with Alice.
“Funny he didn’t create the army you did Maria and he only left because he knew he’d get killed as you were mad cause he wouldn’t mate with you.” Alice snipped her usual peppy mood suddenly disappearing.
Maria smiled, “How is it that you would know this you weren’t one of the newborns he created were you?” she asked turning her attention to Aro and the others.
Carlisle stepped forward easily scenting the brewing fight between the women being literally that of two cats about a tuna bone and raised his hands even as he cast a dark glare at Maria, "For one, Jasper and Alice only met after both were vampires. Second of all fighting here like schoolchildren solves nothing."
“I agree Carlisle that fighting will not solve the accusations made against your son. For now we’ll retire and discuss everything that’s been said. I’ll take you all to rooms and make you comfortable and we’ll call you back when we’ve come to a decision regarding everything. By that time I am sure that Kaashaa can join us.” Aro said motioning Alec, Felix and Jane toward the dais. “Take them to their rooms and see that everything is to their satisfaction.” He stated as Marcus and Caius got up and followed him toward another door leaving the group standing there.

“Jasper,” Kaashaa asked stifling a yawn. She had woke up after a strange dream and now her mind was full of confusing thoughts.
“What’s wrong darlin’?” he asked shifting so he could see her face. He could feel her confusion and even a little fear.
“Are we going to get out of here alive?” she asked her eyes bright and large.
He kissed the tip of her nose then smiled. “Just as soon as your father and sister show up we will. Don’t worry Caius won’t hurt you or me for that matter.” He stated hoping against hope he was right.
She smiled faintly then sat up. “I hope Caius doesn’t show up anytime soon. I’m tired of playing his games.” She said getting up slowly then swaying.
“Where are you going?” Jasper asked reaching up to steady her. He could see the poison still wasn’t completely out her system and that bothered him.
“Bathroom then food.” She said smiling.
“Here let me help you to the bathroom and while you’re there I’ll make you something to eat.” He offered helping her across the room then shutting the door so she could have her privacy. He went to the kitchen area and scrounged around finally finding something other than soup for her to eat. He had just finished the omelet when he heard her coming out of the bathroom.
“It smells good.” She said smiling as he came in and sat the plate in front of her. He noticed then she’d managed a shower while he was cooking.
“I hope you like it. I’m not much of a cook but watching Edward and Esme do it when Bella was human helped some.” He answered as she dug into the food.
“It’s actually good.” She answered smiling. She was just finishing when the lock turned. It caused both of them to look up as Caius, Felix and Alec stepped in the room. “Oh great the mod squad’s back just what I didn’t want to see after eating.” Kaashaa growled out rolling her eyes.
“Shut your trap half-breed.” Felix hissed stepping toward Kaashaa.
“I wouldn’t unless you want your head ripped off and shoved up your ass.” Jasper hissed back growling as he put himself between Felix and Kaashaa.
Caius held up a hand stopping Felix’s motion. “Enough, if you want my beloved safe you’ll do as I say. I’m here to escort you to better chambers. I wouldn’t try anything otherwise I’ll have to be the bearer of bad news to Carlisle that you died trying to escape.” Caius said his voice low and icy calm.
“What if I made a ruckus and got Aro’s attention to our presence here? I don’t think he’d like it you’ve got us against our will would he.” Kaashaa spouted her hand resting on Jasper’s arm trying to keep him calm.
“If you did that then he dies and you would have that on your conscience as well as one hell of a story as to how one of the Cullens lost their own.” Alec said smiling at Kaashaa his eyes locking on in hopes of keeping them both quiet for the move.
“I wouldn’t try that here. You know I can make that work in reverse and leave you frozen like a statue. Of course you’d make a nice pedestal for the pigeons to shit on Alec.” Kaashaa answered her glare icy. Alec noticed the star on her forehead beginning to glow faintly.
Caius watched for a moment then smiled. “Have it your way Kaashaa. We’ll return in two hours if you’re not ready to leave by then we’ll have to discuss this arrangement again.” He stated turning with Felix and Alec just behind him. The two heard the lock shut as Jasper pounded on the door once before turning to face Kaashaa.
“He’s gone to far this time.” Kaashaa said coming up and putting her arms around Jasper hugging him and using her own powers to calm him.
***
Edward stood still again causing Bella to turn toward him. “Edward what is it?” she asked. He had done this same ritual twice now and it was beginning to bother her.
Edward didn’t answer but cocked his head for a minute before smiling. “They’re close I can hear Jasper’s thoughts plainly.” He said aloud catching everyone’s attention as they had all convened in one room to talk.
“How close is close?” Tia asked watching Edward closely. She was ready for a fight and if they were close enough she knew they’d take the chance to rescue their missing family.
“I would say not more than five or six doors down from where we are right now.” Edward answered as they head a door shut and a loud bang before all was silent again.
The smaller female unwrapped her limbs from the chair she had chosen to sprawl in to give Edward a curious look seconds before she heard the door slam near enough to be heard, "Now that's interesting. Some-body's got an anger management issue.
“My guess is someone pissed off one of Caius and if I’m guessing I’d say your sister’s at it again.” Lucien said chuckling lightly. He knew that Kaashaa had a habit of letting herself be known even if it got her into trouble.
The smile was feral and spoke of the danger to even irritating the woman the sharp teeth particularly the canines were glinting in the light, as she counted silently and walked to the door cracking it in time to see Alec's duster billowing behind him causing her to grin "Bat boy's gone and so are the rest of the pinhead brigade."
Edward chuckled as Elyshia let him see what she saw. “It wasn’t Caius that Kaashaa apparently pissed off but Alec now that’s what I would call brave.” He said aloud chuckling even harder.
The dark head turned toward him the grin wicked and slightly twisted in fact, "Kaashaa's always had a way with words. You coming or going fang boy?" she eyed him with a smile "I feel the need to walk."
“Hold up you two we need a plan and not going and blowing up the entire place either.” Theron said his voice light but stern stopping Edward and Elyshia’s exit.
Elyshia turned and poked her tongue out at him "I’m not going to burn this place down unless Caius decides that placing his hands ... and other appendages where they're not welcome.' she returned carefully, "First we have to be sure there's enough time to get them out . And if they’re still nearby."
“At least take Bella and Emmett with you. Bella can shield anything Alec or Jane throws at you and Emmett can handle Felix.” Carlisle suggested.
Frowning she nodded finally "Fair enough if I've got the brute squad with me I am pretty sure we can find the answer to these riddles." Elyshia grinned knowing that the culture reference might be lost on the Cullens which only amused her more.
"Now now be nice and play nice," Theron chuckled catching her reference, "Can't undo all dead after all.”
“Although it might be fun to watch her play,” Emmett stated smiling as everyone left the room.
They paused in the hallway. “Okay which way do we go now?” Bella asked her senses on over load.
“This was the direction I heard Jasper’s thought coming from.” Edward answered taking her hand and leading them off to the left.
They walked down the hall with Edward leading rounding a corner. Hearing voices stopped them dead in their tracks. “I can’t believe we’ve got to babysit these two.” Felix muttered aloud as he and Alec stood outside a door.
“I agree but you heard Caius say if Hale tried anything we’d need to be here so stop your bitching.” Alec replied his voice clip.
“You just can’t stand what she said to you can you?” Felix asked his voice betraying his amusement.
“I said leave it alone Felix. She’ll get hers in the end and no one will be around to save her happy little half-breed ass when she gets it either.” He answered glaring at Felix then growling.
Felix chuckled, “You know you won’t ever get that chance Alec especially if her father and Cullen find out they’re only doors away from them.”
“She’ll be the first one to die before they get a chance of taking them away. Besides why are you so happy she insulted you too.” Alec retorted.
“If I was bothered by some half-breeds words I’d be in some nut house by now. We all know what’s going to happen. If Theron and Carlisle don’t get them she’ll end up being a whore around her for us to do with as we please cause Caius will get tired of her. Hale’s going to die or be forced into joining our group so cheer up you’ll get laid soon enough.” Felix said suddenly turning and sniffing the air.
Alec turned in the same direction letting out a low deep growl. “Well I was wondering when you would lot would go snooping around in places you didn’t belong.” He sneered moving to block the door before smiling at Edward.
“I wouldn’t call it snooping considering how loud you two were talking.” Bella answered beginning to form a shield around her group.
“It’s too bad you didn’t join us and stay away from Cullen. You’d have a better time of it here lots of nicer guys to choose from but then again you were stupid as a human so it must have followed into your vampire life.” Felix spouted smiling.
“I’d watch your mouth Felix unless you want your sorry carcass used for kindling.” Emmett answered stepping up beside Bella to keep Edward from pouncing.
Alec chuckled, “Even if you tried it Cullen you’d lose.” He glanced noticing the smaller figure behind them. “Well looks like you called out the half-breed society watcher. What mad because you don’t have anything to do now Elyshia? Don’t worry your sister’s being well looked after.” He added.
"Actually the local village called... They want their idiot back." Elyshia replied smiling darkly at Alec. "Since you'd just gorge on the village they'll have to settle for you getting your ass beat. Again."
“Who’s going to do that you? I think not unless you want your whore sister and her little friend dead.” Felix answered stepping forward toward Emmett.
A gloved hand raised and it felt like he walked into a marble wall forcing Felix backward as Elyshia smiled a saccharine smile that dripped sugar so sweet it could give others a toothache, "Still pouting cause I told you 'no' I see. Now run along like good minions and go tell your boss I said to come face the sun because I'm bringing the light.”
“You’re not getting them so face the music.” Alec said trying out his powers only to be repelled by Bella’s shield. Behind Alec and Felix came a single blow to the door followed by a loud laugh.
Elyshia arched a brow, "Awful cocky for a vampire without one aren't you? I do so hate losing and though I'd get my ass kicked for it I'd cheerfully burn down your precious Volterra if it meant Kaashaa was safe. And I'd look Theron in the eye and swear I sneezed." she sneered at him.
Alec turned to look briefly at the door before returning his attention on the group. “I guess you need to learn to lose don’t you. One step closer and I let Felix have lunch of the half-breed and make his own kindling of your brother.” He stated so calm. The door pounded again causing both vampires to jump.
Edward laughed focusing on the door. “Jasper’s exact words were if your froggy come jump Alec.” He then turned to Elyshia, “He said don’t start the party without him he wants in on the action and your sister’s fine now thanks to an ally.” The door banged again beginning to splinter around the edges.
Elyshia arched her brow again and smiled faintly turning her gaze to the door, "Uh oh Aro's gonna have a temper fit and for once I didn’t break it. Come on out Jasper playtime.”
Everyone smiled as the door began splintering even more. “Looks like he might need some help,” Emmett said taking the momentary distraction to us his body as a ramming post and break through the door.
Emmett landed with a softer thud before realizing he’d knocked Jasper back five feet from the door up against the wall leaving an indent. “Thanks for the help Emmett but get off your not my type.” Jasper said smiling as Emmett got up and helped him to his feet. Both walked back through the door with Kaashaa standing behind them.
“I warned you Alec not to piss me off.” Jasper growled grabbing Alec by the scruff of the neck like a dog and throwing him on the ground in front of Elyshia before smiling widely.
Her eyes lit up like dark brown crystals backlit by fire as the smile was feral "Ohh presents. I do so love presents. Wonder what this toy does?" she said picking Alec up by the scruff of his neck easily.
“Don’t break it sis it might be useful to have around.” Kaashaa stated smiling as Felix tried to slink away only to be forced into a wall by Edward and Bella then grabbed by Emmett.
"Good point," Elyshia decided suddenly spinning on her heel dragging Alec by his neck toward their room "Come on let's actually be kids and let the grown ups sort this mess out. I've gotta vicious headache brewing."
The others smiled as Kaashaa took point beside her sister. “I have a feeling that dad isn’t going to be happy, right?” she asked as they walked back toward their rooms.
"Pretty much, by the way Jasper Maria’s still a bitch." Elyshia said as they filed into the room some of them carrying the squirming irate members of the Volterra guard.
“That’s nothing unusual. If she suddenly got nice I’d say watch her.” He answered as Esme came giving him a hug before Alice promptly landed in his arms.
Kaashaa turned her gaze settling on her father and uncle. “See I didn’t die yet and I managed to play nice for the most part.” She stated coming up and hugging her father.
Theron breathed a deep sigh of relief stroking over her hair not letting go for a long minute squeezing almost too hard for a few seconds before feeling her uncomfortable squirm meeting an irritated Elyshia’s gaze. "And you brought them why?" he asked keeping Kaashaa close.
“We thought we’d let you grownups handle these two and their electric mouths.” Kaashaa answered looking up at her father. She smiled at Elyshia nodding, ‘To bad we couldn’t break them apart and use their limbs and stuff to burn Caius’ body.’ She sent mentally to her sister before giggling softly.
Elyshia gave her a wicked grin as she then dropped Alec off at Lucien's feet and went to her own bags and knelt to root in them urgently but not panicked blinking hard a few times as the room dimmed slightly.
“What are you looking for kitten?” Lucien asked grabbing Alec up to keep him from trying anything that he knew would get him killed at this point.
The small gloved hand dove in again and came up with a violently red pouch as she pushed the rest of the contents down into the bag looking to Lucien "Don't want this one turning into the last one I had.” she muttered vaguely turning to head to acquire the hot water needed for it.
Lucien nodded watching Elyshia leave. “When did the headache start?” he asked.
“Just shortly after Emmett gave Alec to her as a present,” Kaashaa answered.
"More likely before then," Theron commented carefully, "Since when does that kitten sleep more than about three hours at a stretch?" He eyed Lucien.
“The last time I saw her sleep for more than three hours she was deathly sick. I have no doubts she’s had this since before we left home.” He answered reaching over to ruffle Kaashaa’s hair before going to find Elyshia.
“Now then my question is how is it the last we saw of you young lady you were on death’s door step and now you look like you’re glowing in health?” Draedyn asked.
“She had outside help getting that way.” Jasper answered looking from Theron, Carlisle and Draedyn to the two Volturi guards in the room.
Understanding the implication Theron nodded, "We will get more of the tale when and after we've dealt with these two clowns."
“The question is what to do with the ding dong squad?” Tia asked smiling enough her canines shone in the light of the room.
"We'll let Aro and Marcus decide as obviously Caius has slipped a cog." Theron said calmly as Elyshia appeared with a foul-smelling mug in her hands and a glint to her gaze that plainly said the exact thought they were all thinking "Eww"
Carlisle looked from Elyshia back to Kaashaa. “I’d like to take a look at you Kaashaa and make sure everything’s okay?” He couldn’t help noticing when in a single drink Elyshia had the contents of the cup drained.
Seeing the look she eyed him, "It tastes as bad as it smells and I figured out a long while ago that it was better hot than cold." she shuddered once even if she agreed with Carlisle about being checked over.
Carlisle nodded and helped her sit on the only bed in the room. “Do you still have any symptoms?”
“Other than I still have trouble keeping my balance from time to time no I actually feel better.” Kaashaa answered smiling as he took her pulse and watched her breathing before moving on.
“That’s not all that’s been wrong Kaashaa. If you don’t tell Carlisle then I will.” Jasper stated eying the woman on the bed.”
“I’m fine Jasper that only happened once.” Kaashaa answered turning to look at Jasper with a warning look.
“Carlisle she passed out twice for no reason one minute she was fine the next past out and her breathing was shallow. She also had a slight fever too.” Jasper stated turning his own warning look on Kaashaa.
Carlisle nodded checking her temperature. It seems her vitals are fine for the moment but I wouldn’t push the issue with your balance off for the moment.”
“Trust me I don’t plan on it. I’m still getting tired easy.” She answered leaning back on the bed and lying down.
It wasn’t long before her eyes closed and she drifted off into a deep sleep. “So I wonder how pissed Aro’s going to be over the door.” Emmett asked Jasper quietly a smile on his face.
“Just what did you do to that door Jasper?” Alice asked looking from Emmett to Jasper beginning to tap the one foot she had on the floor as if impatient.
“I had help with the door but well Aro’s going to be replacing a door or rather should I say Caius is going to be replacing it.” Jasper said a smile splaying across his face at his mate.
Alice shook her head and smiled back looking over at Emmett, “Please tell me you didn’t help?” She asked although she knew it was futile to ask that question.
Emmett just smiled at her nodding and wiggling his eyebrows. “Well at least we got them back.” He answered grinning.
“I'm of the opinion any victory is good enough for me. Question is now what we gonna do about it?" Elyshia pointed out setting the mug nearby.
“For now we wait on Aro to call us back and when we do go back we make sure he knows everything.” Carlisle said his gaze turning to the sleeping girl in the bed before settling his gaze on Jasper.
Elyshia nodded faintly, "Sounds reasonable..' she trailed off looking to Theron suddenly "Hey did you call Amelia yet to tell her Kaash is safe or do I get to do it?" she asked.
Theron smiled before answering, “No, I’ll call in a bit that way she can talk to Amelia.”
True," Elyshia said reaching to pull her hair out of the many braids she'd put it up into for traveling revealing the wavy lengths of dark tendrils framing her features. "Otherwise she'll say we're doing it to reassure her. "
“Exactly besides it will make Kaashaa feel better to hear her mother’s voice as well.” Theron added.
Running a hand through her hair Elyshia nodded then curled up on one of the empty chairs covering her eyes with her arm to dim the lights around her. "True enough," she muttered at him.
