* Disclamier I don't own Twilight. Sm does!*

Everyone was breathless as Jane and Alec took turns trying to get through to my shield. Jane sent ten attacks aimed directly at me. I flinched at the last one and Jane let out a huge smug grin. Still not one had made it through my shield. I went down my shield to see if there was any holes where Jane atau Alec could get through. I found none, I know felt confident that I could stop all their attacks. I couldn't feel where Alec had sent his power to attack. I opened my eyes and turned to Edward.

“Has Alec tried yet?”

“Yes, It's slower than Jane's.”

“Oh.” And then I noticed it. It was a clear sparkling mist right at the edge of my shield. When the mist finally reached me I shrieked in surprise. It was lebih powerful than I had ever imagined.

“What Bella, What is it?” He couldn't hide the worry in his voice no matter how much he tried.

“Oh, nothing just the force of the mist surprised me.” I berkata it loud enough for the Volturi to hear me. I wanted them to think that I was weaker than what they thought I was. I saw a grin stretch across Jane and Alec's face. Good they had heard me. Then I saw the mist creeping up again. I knew he was heading for the same spot as before, but I had already checked that spot and I had it covered. It hit harder than before almost breaking my shield and then it seemed like someone had hit the fast ke hadapan button. Jane sent out another round of attacks, this time aimed directly at me. Then Demetri leaped. Aro graped his ankle and pulled him down to the ground. Demetri got up and looked at Aro in total disbelief. Aro whispered something in his ear, to faint to hear, and Demetri nodded and th disbelief disappeared from his face.

“My Friends I think I may have found a way to lessen the death total.”

This time Charlisle spoke. “And what would that be Aro.”

“I think we should have a one on one competition and which ever one wins will decide what our seterusnya alih is.”

“Let us think one the offer and I will get back to you.”

We all turned to Charlisle and waited for him to speak.

“What do anda guys think we should do?”

Edward spoke this time. “I think that we should do the competition. I already know who they have in mind and I know that the outcome will most likely be in our favor.”

“Okay, thank anda Edward does everyone agree that they are willing to do the competition?”

Murmurs of agreement arose from everyone.

“Aro we have decided that we will take your offer.”

“Oh, thank the heavens I didn't want it to turn into a total bloodshed when it could have possibly been prevented. Okay well, I would like Edward and Demetri to come forth.”

I wrapped my arms around his waist in a silent plea. He knew what I wanted, but he just gently picked me up to Ciuman me and stepped forward. He was cool and composed unlike me who was a nervous wreck. I suddenly felt calm and I turned around to see Jasper looking at me worriedly. I smiled a smile of gratitude to him and turned back around. I saw that Emmett and Rosalie had come to stand beside me. Emmett put his hand on my arm to comfort me atau to keep me back I didn't know. Edward walked to the clearing and Aro through his arm over his shoulders. I gritted my teeth and Emmett tightened his hold on my arm. It wasn't painful, but it wasn't comfortable either. I defiantly knew that Emmett was keeping me back now. He knew that if anything happened to Edward I would fling myself at Demetri in an instant. Edward slided out from underneath Aro's arm and dropped into a hunting crouch directly across from Demetri. Aro walked back to where his brothers were standing. Then it started and Edward let out a growl as he launched himself onto Demetri. They went to the ground. Edward was on bahagian, atas about to ripped off Demetri's leg when Demetri kicked his legs out from underneath him. Now Demetri was on bahagian, atas of Edward and this time Demetri was able to get a piece of Edward. Edward let out a screech of pain as a metallic sound was sent through the air. I almost Lost it. My vision went red with rage I couldn't stand to see Edward in pain. I knew Edward had been lying when he berkata that the odds were in our favor.

“No, Stop. Aro I have something that might interest you.” I hadn't thought my plan through throughly, but I knew that I had to do something.

“Well, before I tell will anda let me talk to Maggie real fast.”

“Sure, Sure Bella whatever anda need.” Aro put his hand on Demetri's shoulder and Demetri let Edward up, but grabbed him sejak the neck and held him their.

Maggie came running up to me and I whispered in her ear my plan. She looked up at me in horror. “It's the only way to save my Friends and family. I know that Aro can't resist me, he never has been able to.”

She finally seemed to understand my reasoning and I turned to face Aro. How could I ever go through with this. For Edward, for everybody. I took a deep breath and began my speech.

“Dear Aro, I don't want no bloodshed here today and I know that anda don't either. So I have lebih atau less and offer to make, but I want anda to read my mind.”

“You know I can't do that Bella. Your mind has a shield and I can't read it.”
“Try Aro.”

I threw my shield to Maggie as Aro came to grab my hand. I took only a few saat and I knew he knew my plan. I didn't want Edward Membaca Maggie's mind and once Aro already knew my plan there was no stopping me atau Aro.

“I Cinta it, but I must talk to my brothers.”

“Of course anda must. I will be awaiting your answer.”

I walked back and then I remembered Edward.

“Oh Aro, would anda mind letting me have my husband back.”

“Of course dear Bella.”

I went and grabbed Edward from Demetri. He seemed reluctant to let Edward go, but I growled and he let him go. Edward wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me to him. I could feel he was in pain. Even though it was a general rule I pulled away and put his arm around my shoulders and we headed back to our family. I was now glad that I had sent Renesmee away. I didn't want her to see her father like this. We made it back to our family and everyone was asking me what was going on.

“Guys, anda will find out soon enough.”

I walked over to Maggie and said.

“Was he lying at any point.”

“Yes, when he berkata he needed to talk to his brothers. anda know that he was already going to accept your offer.”

Edward couldn't take it no longer. “Bella what is going on? Please tell me anda are driving me crazy.”

“I'm sorry Edward I can't tell you. anda would stop whatever I am planning on doing. Please just leave it at that.”

Edward looked like he was going to continue the conversation further, but I turned to talk to Alice. I knew that she knew what I was planning. I could see the horror in her eyes as I looked at her.

“Please Alice, I am begging anda please don't tell anyone until the decision is final.” Then I thought popped into my head. Edward can hear Alice's thoughts.

“Noooooooooo.” I let out a groan. He can't find out not now.

He must have heard Alice's thought's because he came up to me and took my face in his hand. “I will not let anda do this Bella. Never not as long as I live.”

“Please Edward, anda have to let me do this.” I could feel everyone's eyes on us. I knew they wanted to know what was going. I hoped that Edward wouldn't try to stop me atau tell anyone. But of course he gathered Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, Alice, and me. He told them what I was planning to do. Then he whispered something in Emmett's ear to low for me to hear. Emmet nodded and came over to me and grabbed me holding me in one of his big menanggung, bear hugs.

“Sorry little sis. I can't let anda do this also it's Edward's orders.”

“Edwaaaardddd!! Tell Emmett to let me go. I am only doing this to save everyone from their death's.”

“Bella, anda would only be bring yourself and your family to their deaths along with you.”

“Have anda ever thought how this would effect the rest of us Bella,” Esme asked.

“No, I just wanted to save everyone.” That's when I broke I couldn't stand it anymore. “Don't anda guy's understand,” I was yelling now, “I'm only thinking of what's best for everyone. If that means I die atau become part of the Volturi guard then so be it. I don't want to see any of my family atau Friends die. I'm not sure I could live if Edward atau any of anda died.” I had calmed down a little, but I was still fuming.

“Now, Emmett will anda please let me go atau do I have to get away from anda myself.”

“No, Bella I will let anda go as long as anda don't go all crazy on us.” He let me down and I was glad I didn't want to hurt Emmett just to get away from him.

“Bella,” Carlisle spoke this time, “you don;t have to do this anda know.”

“But Carlisle I do. I know that Aro can't resist me and this would be giving him partly what he wants.”

“No Bella, your not doing this.”

“Yes, I am Alice now please will anda guys just let me say my good- byes to everybody atau are we going to continue arguing.”

“No, I guess not.”

I went over to The Amazons, Irish, and all the covens to say good-bye. Then I went to say goodbye to Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rosalie, Alice. Alice wouldn't let me go.

“Alice, Please, please let me go!!”

“Bella, why, why do anda want to torture us. anda could be killed.”

“I'm not going to be killed Aro wants me to badly.”

She finally released me from her almost breaking grip if I hadn't been a vampire she probably would have crushed me. I seterusnya walked up to Jasper. I knew he knew that I was scared and worried about what they would decided. What surprised me the most was that Jasper grabbed me into a big hug and whispered to me “Calm down Bella.” And I suddenly was calm. After I had calmed down I went over to Edward who was whispering something to his self and he was starting to worry me. I kissed him on the check and took his face in my hands.

“Edward listen to me. No matter what happens I will always Cinta you.”

“You swear Bella because the hari anda stop loving me is the hari that I will come to the Volturi to ask them to kill me.”

“No Edward whatever happens anda can't do that. anda will find another Cinta anda just have to patient.”

“But,” I put my finger on his lips.

“Can we just spend these last few minit without arguing.”

“Yes, but I have to say one lebih thing.”

“What Edward?” I was getting impatient.

“Will anda once let me read your thoughts? So I know exactly what anda berkata to Aro. Of course he picks this one hari when I'm scared out of my wits to read my mind.

“Okay fine.” I put my hands on Edward's face and closed my eyes. I pushed my shield onto Edward and off me. It was like stretching rubber, but finally it snapped and I knew he could read my mind. I tried to go through the best memories of my life with him. I went through the hari I met him, our first date, the hari he decided he wanted to tarikh me, the hari he save me from James. I felt him cringe when he remembered that day. And then the hari we got married and on Esme's Island. And the biggest the hari our daughter was born.


“So anda see. Everything will be fine. I do have a couple of request that anda do for me.”

“Okay, I'm not sure I want to listen.”

“One please take care of Renesmee for me. Two don't anda guys become crazy over this to where anda don't do anything. Three don't let Jacob do anything stupid plus tell him I Cinta him and that I always have, but just as a big sister. Oh and last Don't anda go and do anything stupid. atau else I will come out here myself with Aro's permission of course. I will come out here and I don't know, but anda will wish that anda never ever put that thought in your head. Got it.”

“Got it.” His voice was barely above a whisper. I knew with all these things taken care of I would be able to let go easier. He didn't know that though otherwise I knew that he wouldn't do any of these things.

“Bella dear,” I was guessing that Aro and his brothers and come up with an answer, “will anda please come here.” When he berkata that Edward hugged me closer to him.

“Sure Aro.”

In the lowest voice I leaned up to Edward and berkata “I Cinta anda Edward. I always have and I always will. Now anda have to let me go.” He picked me up and kissed me. As much as it hurt him when he put me back down I pushed away from him and started to walk across the field to Aro, but a hand grabbed my wrist and spun me around. Of course it was Alice and Emmett together.

“Alice, anda knew what will happen if I don't do this. Please, please let me go.” I started begging.

“Bella, I do know what will happen. I have seen it, but I still can't let anda do this.”

“Yes, anda can and anda will.” And with that I yanked my wrist free and walked over to Aro.

“Have anda made your decision dear Aro?”

“Bella, I am pleased to welcome anda to the Volturi.” He leaned down and whispered in my ear, “would anda like to be my adopted daughter?”

I heard hisses from my old family. I knew they didn't like Aro that close to me especially Edward.

“Yes, Aro that would be wonderful.”

I heard Edward growl and I held up a hand to silence him. Aro took my other hand and spun my around to face the guard.

“I would like to introduce our newest member of the Volturi family. M new daughter Bella.”

I saw hatred menyeberang, cross Jane's face and shrieks of horror from my sebelumnya family especially. Esme. She thought of my as her daughter also. Aro leaded me to where Demetri was standing and whispered something into his ear to low for me to hear. Aro turned back to my old family and spoke again.

I'm very sorry that a fight almost broke out between our families; we are going to leave anda in peace now.”

I wanted to take one final glance at Edward, but I knew if I did it would break me. We turned to leave when I heard a serigala, wolf howl. It was a very long and agonizing howl. I knew Jacob knew what was going on because of his mental link with the serigala, wolf pack. I hesitated and Demetri turned to me.

“Having saat thoughts are we?” A smile crossed his face.

“Nope, no saat thoughts at all.” With that me and Demetri turned and raced each other utama along with my new family.
