Make your move

[Bella Cullen]

Her daughters voice made her want to cry, knowing she'd have to witness this. "Ness! Don't" She said between her teeth as two guards held her arms, making her kneel before Aro. He contemplated his next move. She knew death was imminent and welcomed it if it were to save her family. Her daughter, so much like herself willing to make deals with the devil just to protect family. Like mother, like daughter. Jane narrowed her eyes at Renesmee and Bella struggled against Felix and Demetri. "Don't you dare, Jane!" With that she smirked and sent a wave of pain her way, making Renesmee crumple to the ground as she was unable to shield her. Bella screamed out as her daughter fell in pain from what Jane was doing to her.

-We didn't bother going back to Forks. I'd called Carlisle and told him we were heading straight to Volterra but that was all I'd told him. I couldn't breathe a word of anything else. He wasn't happy but he truste me. I knew Bella was there already, Edward was too, I'd seen it. I was trying to keep track of them both but things had gotten very...clustered. There were alarming holes now, grainy blank spots and it was frustrating. The flight to Italy was spent in quiet contemplation. Jazz and I sat together, our hands laced together tightly, Henry behind us, calmy reading a magazine. I was edgy. Even more so when the pilot announced we were running into a storm ahead and may be delayed. Jazz and I exchanged long looks, saying nothing. My hand tightened in his as I stiffened. Jazz looked at me expectantly as I blinked- Em...Emmett. He went to. To Volturra. But he left Rose and Ryder behind. Carlisle and Esme, too. This isn't good...

[Edward Cullen]

Edward had been trailing on Jane and Alec's tail since they had turned up and taken Bella against her will. He did not have the chance to make things right with Bella, before she was taken and that pained him to his very core. He knew where Jane and Alec would have taken Bella, to the place that they had all met once before. The Volturi Chambers. His eyes darted around him as the hall was dark and only lit by the flicker of the candles.

He was drawing closer to the chambers as he could hear Bella argue with Aro, that was his Bella, never to accept anything from anyone, he smirked silently at that as he crept closer.

"Ness! Don't"

Renesmee!

Renesmee was here! He sped towards the double doors and slammed them open with all his might as he watched Jane inflict her fury on their daughter as she crumpled to the floor in pain.

"STOP!" his voice echoed as they all turned to him.

[Nessa]

Ness! DON'T!

She heard her mom's voice and then... nothing. All she could feel, see or hear was pain. She fell to the floor, her body convulsing as she tried to fight against it; it was for nothing. She screamed at the top of her lungs, thrashed about and prayed for everything to end.

"STOP!!" Her entire body was on fire. Oh God, would it ever end?

[Aro Volturi]

He grinned and clapped his hands together at the arrival of Bella's beloved Edward. Falling into place nicely indeed. He tilted his head to the side looking up from where he stood before Bella.

"Nice of you to join us, Edward. I'm sure you won't want to miss this show."

He chuckled and looked down at Bella. "Any last words for your mate, I'm feeling....generous."

[Bella Cullen]

Her eyes shut closed as Renesmee lay on the floor writhing in pain from Jane. She only prayed Jane could one day be tortured as she always tortured others. Edward busted through the doors and her heart dropped. No. No. No, this wasn't happening. It made Aro all too happy as he froze in place and looked up, loving the fact that Edward would see her die.

His cold voice in her ear made her spine shiver, but she'd never show him that...never give him the satisfaction. He wasn't worth it. Her arms held out by Felix and Demetri as her eyes met her husbands. 'I'm sorry' she mouthed. "I love you....forever." She whispered.

[Edward Cullen]

"Nice of you to join us, Edward. I'm sure you won't want to miss this show"

"Let them go Aro....They won't join you willingly....Let them go...and take me instead. I won't fight you...Just let my family go"

Edward spoke sternly, but his voice echoing his plea as he hoped that Aro would listen to him, let Bella and Renesmee go. He would not fight them, he would do anything to keep his family safe, he would not have then serve 100 years...he would take their place.

"Let them go" his voice filled with anger.

[Emmett Cullen]

*He'd made it to Italy after speaking with Rose, making her understand he had to do this...he had to stand behind his brother. Kissing Rosalie and Ryder goodbye was hard, not knowing if he'd make it out. Esme and Carlisle agreed to take Rose and Ryder and run if they never came back. Instead of the traditional entrance, he thought a surprise attack would be best....but he was wrong.*

"Look at who I found trying to sneak in..."

*Chelsea spoke in her seductress voice as she walked in proudly as two guards held his arms. A grin on his face, he hoped his plan would work. They'd never see the wolves coming. He just had to distract them long enough. His grin disappeared seeing Bella in the position facing death, his brother yelling at Aro and his niece on the floor as Jane tortured her every few minutes. If there was a God...let this work....now*

[Aro Volturi]

"Let them go"

He smirked and shook his head, tsking as he stepped closer to Edward. Just as he was about to speak, the doors opened and in entered Chelsea and two guards holding the massive Emmett Cullen. He clapped his hands together and threw his head back in amusement.

"Marvelous!! Most of the family here already, you're making it too easy."

His eyes cut to Jane, she nodded once, "Master." Renesmee had a break from Jane's gifts. Bringing his templed fingers to his chin in thought as he stepped closer to Edward.

"You should really know your place.....Jane?" He grinned as she inflicted her gift upon him, dropping Edward to his knees. "Now, you do." This would be more fun than he'd originally imagined. He turned to his brothers who sat watching it all. "Seems we have a family reunion in our midst, brothers. I think...." He turned and grinned, "Such a pity the rest have missed it..."

He turned his eyes to Chelsea. "Give Santiago my orders...it is time."

[Alice Cullen]

-Ultimately, we ended up landing only 15 minutes later than the original arrival time. We made it through customs in record time and soon enough were racing through the rolling, lush countryside, speeding towards Volterra as we laid out the plan. Putting the pedal to the floor, I pushed the car faster with almost a desperate intensity.

Hurry, hurry, hurry....

Memories of the last time I'd been here, the same frenetic pace, Bella at my side. We needed to save Edward! But this time, I needed to save them both. Save US all.

Hurry, hurry, hurry...

-Siding into town, I all but tore up the cobbled streets making my way to the Castle. I couldn't see anything much now and that alarmed me to no end. Something was blocking me and that gave me a fit of uneasiness. Bolting from the car, yelling as I ran- Something's wrong...come on....-not even waiting, I forged ahead of both Jazz, who shouted for me to stop and Henry who yelled my name. NO!-

Hurry, hurry, hurry...

-Bursting through the doors, I knocked them off the hinges and only barely registered the sound of crumbling wood behind me as I made my way down the dark, shadowed hallway to the elevator, jamming the 'open call' button almost hissing as the doors slowly slid open. I didn't even hesitate, slapping a finger on the "down" button. Jazz and Henry barely made it in time and we shot down. When the doors opened once more, I dashed out, a racing blur as I headed for the main chamber. I could hear noises, shouts. I heard Aro's smug tone. I heard my brother's raised voice and then -I threw the doors open, the sound crashing against the walls and reverberating as I took in the scene. Edward on the floor, writhing in pain; a sick grin on Jane’s face. Emmett held by two massive guards. Bella’s ravaged face contorting as she glanced at Ness, unconscious on the floor. NESS! No wonder! Aro’s voice, oily and lethal as he spoke to that girl, Chelsea, I think.

“Give Santiago my orders...it is time."

[Edward Cullen]

"You should really know your place"

Edward crumpled to the floor on his knees as he felt the pain Jane had inflicted on him wash over him once again, the pain blinded him from moving, from speaking. He was limp and lifeless, he felt every single cell in his body exploded as the fiery eye blinding pain consumed him like the sea.

His lips pressed together as he collapsed to the floor, his eyes fixed on Bella, trying to find some comfort in her face, but all his body felt was pain, there was nothing that he could do....except feel this pain. Fighting to speak, the only words that passed his lips, he could see their daughter passed out on the floor, exhausted from fighting against Jane's power. He looked to Bella, his eyes clouded.

"Be.......Bella" his voice pained.

[Bella Cullen]

"EDWARD!" She screamed out as she tried to go to him, only to be pulled back by more guards, continuing to struggle against them. Alice walked in and her eyes darted around at her family. Emmett, Jasper, Alice, Edward, Ness....all of them had came after her...and all of them would die she was sure of it. Anger rolled through her like an electric current.

"You pathetic coward!! You stand behind your guard, and your cloaks inflicting pain where you see fit just because you can. You think you're powerful when really...you're just a little kid playing King. No one will ever respect you...never."

She spat the words out to him without thought, once they were said she regretted it only because of what he'd do to her family.

[Aro Volturi]

She spoke words to him no other ever dared...and no other ever would. He lifted his chin as if the words had no effect on him. Only grinning as he stepped closer to her with each word she spoke. Leaning down to her ear he only whispered one phrase.

"Scacco Matto" {CheckMate}

With that his translucent hands were placed on each side of her head, his face going blank with concentration as he ripped her head from her shoulders, her screams agonizing, but brief. Once her head rest in her hands, her body slumped forward.

"Burn it..." He said dropping her head at Edward's knees

[Alice Cullen]

“Give Santiago my orders...it is time."

The words played over and over...

I stiffened again, hissing and crouching low. His ‘orders’ flashed through my mind with the rush of wind. Santiago was to kill Esme, Carlisle, Rose and Ryder. Then it was gone and we were surrounded by guards as Bella screamed at Aro. Oh. Oh no. I had to make Aro see. I turned to Henry but saw Aro move so fast, twisting off Bella’s head and tossing it at Edward’s feet- NOOOOOO!!! –choking, choking on pain and rage, struggling against the hold on me, the feel of my bones crushing as the guard holding me tightened his grasp.-HENRY! NOW!! –but he did nothing. NOTHING! Just stood there, head down-NO NO NO!

[Edward Cullen]

Edward was still blinded by the pain that Jane was inflicting upon him, feeling it rage with fire through his veins as it sent him close to the edge of fighting against it...When he felt it stop.

"Burn it..."

Edward weak and limp managed to open his eyes as he heard the gasps from the others as there in front of him.....

Lay Bella.....dead.

"BELLA!!!" he screamed, his voice pained as the woman he loved was dead.
