Chapter one: Makes a fool of us

"I had everything under control!" the larger than life sized teenager sneered across the medium sized cave cell. The other occupant of the cell rolled his eyes; he really didn't care what the mutt had to say to him.

"I knew what I was doing dammit!" he continued to yell angrily, tremors shook his body and he clenched both his teeth, jaws and fists. He would keep calm and in control that was what she would have wanted of him.

"That's why I had to liberate you from a group of the most powerful vampires to walk this earth; you had it all under control. That is also why we are stuck in this cave waiting for the moment hunger strikes, control is lost and I devour you!" his dry tone was thick with sarcasm and venom.

The larger teen flinched; he hadn't thought that far yet. He was too busy being angry that the stupid leech had to save; and defend him in the first place. He wanted to rip that stupid stoic face to pieces.

"Sure, Sure!" he grumbled to himself and for once it didn't sound like his light playful comeback to teases he couldn't find a good response to. The other, on the other side of the cave just sighed and leant his head against the cold, damp rock.

He wasn't sure how long he would be able to last without feeding, he knew that Bella would never forgive him no matter where she was if he ended killing her best friend; no matter how much of a stupid dog he was.

It was a funny situation really, if ones definition of funny was something twisted.

It started simply two years before, Bella had left him. There was no goodbye, no explanation and no note. She just left, just like that. He had picked the minds of all her friends, Charlie and even his own family but no one had any word.

He heavily suspected that Alice knew something but she wouldn't talk to him about it, claimed she knew nothing, no visions and no ideas. He had paid special attention to her mind but even after two years there was nothing.

Either she had got smart and was hiding from him or she really didn't know anything of what had happened. He had found it odd however that Alice had been the last one to have contact with the girl before she left.

He spent a lot of time with Denali coven, a year and a half of those two years and then he came home. After spending a lot of time on his own, he had found a moment of peace in his broken heart. He knew that Bella would have had a reason and he forgave her.

He just wished that he knew what the matter with her was and why she left. One reason that was all he required. Just one tiny reason to know why she had left him in this one position when she knew how he felt.

The mongrel on the opposite side of the wall wouldn't stop moving, it was like he was nervous about something. The noise was irritating him, when he was already annoyed that they were in this problem.

He wished he had never listened to Alice, whether the stupid mutt was Bella's best friend of not! She never said that he had to look after the stupid wolf; even when they were still together, he had just been told to be civil.

"Hey leech."

He ignored the insult, if they were going to have to sit there for God knows how long, he wasn't going to listen to the insults all day long. If the dog wanted to talk to him then he was going to have to call him by his given name.

"-…Okay, Edward then. Are they really hoping you eat me?" he asked unsurely; Edward finally looked up. The mutt- or rather, Jacob was looking every one of his eighteen years. When one was trapped at seventeen and had the wisdom of someone over a hundred years, they tended to forget that other people matured over time and at different rates.

He shrugged,

"The Volturi aren't predictable Jacob, I do not know if they expect that or if they have something else planned. For now I just think you should rest and get your strength back for what may occur." Jacob scrutinized him before he nodded seemingly happy that the vampire wasn't trying to get him to be quiet or anything.

"One more question Leec- Edward," he was quick to correct himself on the name when he saw the look that Edward was giving him, "What were you doing here anyways, isn't it far from your coven? During daylight in a more sunny place than Forks? What were you doing up a mountain anyways?" he shot out, he was trying to be polite but his tone was accusing.

Edward just sighed, what could he expect, he had always believed that cats were more curious like the stereotype suggested but he was beginning to believe it was the other way round and that it was the dogs that were more curious, against their better judgement.

"Looking for time alone, great idea that was. You should really get some rest; I'm guessing that they will wake you up really early. We never were keen on the sleep idea" he sighed; lying smoothly. Jacob nodded and shuffled to make himself comfortable in such an uncomfortable place.

He was just glad that his temperature was so warm, if he had a normal human temperature he would have probably frozen over the course of the night or he would have to curl up to leech and pray that his coldness wasn't as bad.

It wasn't long before the shape shifter was in dream land and Edward snorted ironically, if it were anyone else they would probably be too afraid to sleep. They would have been right to think that way. Jacob Black was simply too overconfident of his abilities.

Not that he was just full of air or anything; he was strong … but just not as strong as he seemed to believe he was.

He really was going to kill Alice, in the slowest most torturous way that he could, she had meekly come to him. All his family had been walking on eggshells around him like he was a bomb waiting to explode but for Alice it was something a little too odd; she was the only one that treated him like he was normal. She had knocked on his door.

Something she never did!

She had sat on his bed, lightly biting into her lightly moisturised bottom lip and she had said,

'I think the werewolf is in trouble'

Edward looked up at her from his book, one of his many books that he had read many a time but simply couldn't be bothered to find another book he had read less times or a book that had been more recently published.

He didn't say anything so she continued,

'I couldn't see it very well, it was all blurry but you know when I have visions about werewolves they are blurry but when they are about that werewolf – Jacob Black, they seem more blurry than all others' she was nervous.

Edward could almost tell just by her face that she was going to mention Bella somewhere in this, she always did that nervous guilty look when she was going to play that 'Bella would have wanted it' card.

'I think that's because with his quick temper he is more unpredictable than his other Werewolf friends but then I haven't really been watching for them. Just that Jacob in case I saw something of Bella for you-' she was rambling.

One look at his highly uninterested face and she took a deep breath ready to continue,

'There is fighting and he is killed, well at least I think so. I think I recognised the Volturi but I'm not sure, I wouldn't have come to you or anything. I know that you don't want to be bothered but …' she trailed off.

Edward realised that she was probably wondering why he hadn't reacted, why he hadn't just read the vision straight from her mind. He hadn't told them that he had learnt to turn it on and off like a switch. There was nothing worth trying to listen to anymore, Bella was gone and nothing mattered anymore.

When he left he decided that he didn't want to hear all those thoughts from friends and family, from Charlie. They were all feeling sorry for him and their minds were filled with memories of her. It hurt him to see them and that year and a half away he trained himself to be able to switch it on and off.

'For heavens sake Edward! Stop being childish, you want me to say it fine!' she was fuming as she stood up and started pacing angrily in his room. He didn't dare interrupt her, Alice could be a little beast when she was mad and someone interrupted her flow.

'I told you because I couldn't go myself, he hates the rest of us but you … you and him had a common interest of Bella and her safety. He may listen to you if you can talk him out of fighting and getting killed!'

Edward put his book to the side and decided to listen to her , like fully listen to everything she was saying, her body language, her voice and even her thoughts. She sounded worried about the mutt, concerned.

'You may not care about him but you know what … if for any reason Bella comes back to you then how do you think she would react knowing that you were here moping and you let her best friend die!' when she thought she wasn't getting through she let out a big breath and sat down again calming herself.

'You know as well as I that Bella would want you to, she would want you to look out for him still and in this case only you can be the one that can help him out!'

Edward listened to her thoughts and they pretty much matched what she was saying. She really was concerned for the mutt and she was really sure that maybe he would know something about Bella or something.

Mostly … strangely enough it was mostly that she was concerned for his health and he wasn't so sure that he understood why. But then he hadn't seen the vision that she must have projected earlier, it must have been something bad. No matter how blurry.

'How long do I have left and where is he?" Edward sighed standing up.

Alice grinned and jumped up looking beyond relieved, "Mount Angeles just south of Port Angeles you have a few hours, but you'll easily make it if you leave now. I'm not sure what he did to anger the Volturi but be careful Edward!' she warned.

He nodded and walked towards his window, it was faster just to dive through the window than to go downstairs and out the door.

'If the Volturi are present and a werewolf is present I would have Carlisle and the others come down in case' he suggested and she nodded enthusiastically. That was a really good idea and she was pleased to see he was almost acting normal.

Edward grimaced at the thought, he hadn't been aware that he was acting that strange.

'As soon as Rosalie, Jasper and Emmett come back I'll be sure to get them with Carlisle and we'll come to back you up in case anything goes wrong. Good luck,' she smiled and waved at him as he jumped out.

Something didn't feel right and she hoped that Edward was careful and that the others got back soon.

"Wake up dog!" Edward snapped out of his mind and blinked rapidly, he found that because he didn't sleep he reflected and retreated into his mind where he could spend hours just thinking about everything that happened and he wouldn't even notice if someone was walking towards him depending on how focused he was.

As soon as the thin metal tip of the heel clanged against the side of the cell bars, Jacob was up, fully alert. He had jumped back, crouched down and he growled at the unknown stranger; wrinkling his nose in disgust.

Edward hated to say it but to him it seemed like he was getting used to that wet fur smell or maybe it was just that he hadn't moved during the night so the smell hadn't wafted over to him or something.

He didn't recognise the strange female standing on the other side of their cell but he did recognise the cloak she was wearing and knew that she was with the Volturi and he had a feeling she was a member of the thirty two Volturi guards.

She was around five foot ten, leggy, mousy blonde hair in layers. She must have been turned young too; maybe her early teens or perhaps just an immature looking girl in her twenties. She had alert bright crimson eyes and Edward had guessed she had just fed and was still feeling the rush.

"Edward Cullen; vampire, almost one of us. Jacob Black right? Werewolf shape shifter and a filthy dog that deserves to be beaten to death!" she hissed, her strange coloured eyes switching from one to the other.

Edward was on guard but he didn't move away from his side of the wall, his eyes were trapped between this girl and Jacob. He didn't look into her mind yet, it wouldn't surprise him if she had a nasty surprise lurking there for him.

Aro would have spread the news, he was slightly too enthusiastic that he blurted a lot of things when he talked.

"My name is Aurelia and I am here with Cyrus and Sophronia, we are – as you may have guessed part of the Volturi guard" her voice was silky but Edward … even Jacob didn't doubt that she could give them a run for their money.

'Is there something we can assist you with?" Edward asked politely, trying to keep the atmosphere as light as possible. As long as he stayed polite then she would be less likely to attack, if that mutt opened his mouth, they may have a slight problem.

'Their underestimating me, why do they always underestimate me?! I'll rip them to pieces, Aro wouldn't mind, he would praise me for my brilliance in killing off two of his annoyances'

Edward cocked an eyebrow, she was certainly a strange one but he knew that if she was part of the guard then there was a very good chance that she had some kind of ability. She wasn't throwing it around in her head though.

"Aurelia that is enough! We need them to tell us what they know and then we need to get back to Aro and tell him what we learnt. He will not be happy to know that we didn't stick to what he wanted us to do!" a male walked into the room; his voice was quiet, almost knowing.

Edward suspected he may have an ability to see, he seemed almost like Alice in the way his voice held wonders and horrors that others would never know.

He was around six foot one, tall and thin but muscled as most vampires were despite how lean they appeared. Chin length shaggy white blonde hair and pale eyes. He was definitely a strange vampire, only the Volturi could have found him.

"Do you know what will happen, Cyrus?" The last vampire walked in, she must have been Sophronia she looked around sixteen years old, almost violet eyes like Rosalie but her voice was hard, like the marble they were often described to.

"Yes" he drawled, his voice was airy and his stare was blank, his mind was showing flashes of random images of which Edward caught sight of Jacob's mutt friends and his own family coming. He wasn't sure how this seer worked but he was seeing the werewolves in their full glory! They weren't blurry like Alice's visions.

It was almost impossible that this Cyrus had ever seen Jacob's tribe, but seeing Edward's family was slightly understanding since Carlisle used to be amongst them.

'What the hell do you want?!" Jacob barked, he was tired of them just standing around almost gloating that they were the ones holding the key while he was trapped in a cell with the most disgusting monster known to man.

The weird taller female vampire hissed and curled her lips away from her sharper than humanly possible teeth but then the other female vampire, Sophronia, sent her a glare that would have melted an iceberg.

"As Aurelia was saying we are from the Volturi guard we are here on another business but we were curious to why there was a lone wolf –" her eyes flicked over to Jacob, "- Aro heard the news that your Human pet went missing, he wants to know where she is we thought we would ask for him" she explained.

"Let me at them Soph, they aren't going to tell us, I can get it from them, I'll rip it from them" the vampire was shaking in excitement and Edward cringed she was acting like … like a mutt that was on the hunt - or maybe even steroids - he wasn't really sure.

Sophronia turned so fast it was hard for even Edward to keep up with, she slapped Aurelia and sent her off before she turned back slower and sighed apologising smoothly.

"We have abilities as you probably know most of the Volturi guard do, Aurelia as you may understand has the ability to go into a beast like rage where she is almost indestructible, as you see it causes more problems in this day and age" she rolled her eyes and motioned to Cyrus,

"Cyrus; like your Alice can see the future only he can only see things that aren't relevant to himself. So when we came he saw this lone wolf and flashes of you he wanted to check out if he knew anything or if you knew anything" she smiled.

"I am one of the most valuable of the Volturi guard which is why we haven't met, I am busy on assignments much of the time. I have the power to take the ability of one vampire for one day and with the extensive choice from the Volturi it can prove fatal for my victims" she grinned showing teeth.

"We need to leave, I saw flashes of Aurelia being ripped apart and you engaged in a fight both wolves and the rest of the Cullens in a couple of days" Cyrus smoothly put forward and Sophronia groaned, it was just getting good.

Edward's head was spinning from how quick the flashes in his mind were going, he could tell the time, the day, the weather it was much better details than Alice but he guessed it must have been annoying when he couldn't see himself.

"Well Edward, mutt! It has been fun but we need to leave, I'm sure by the time your little gangs have come, Edward; your hands will be stained with more blood and you mutt will be referred to in past tense. Maybe next time Edward, Aro is always extending out his welcome to you and the others" she smiled and with a nod from Cyrus they were both gone.

"This is just fucking great!" Jacob roared angrily banging and shaking at the tough bars of the cell but he knew that he couldn't break them. He didn't know what it was made of but if those vampires had bothered to drag them wherever the hell they were; there was a reason for it.

"It isn't as bad as you think, don't be overdramatic!" Edward scoffed and Jacob turned his anger onto Edward because he didn't understand how the bloodsucker could be so calm. However Bella had said they were vegetarians, maybe he was just too glad to be eating 'meat' again to care.

Edward's eyes flashed,

"You think I'm calm about this, compared to Carlisle my control isn't even on the charts, I haven't fed for a few days and they might not be arriving for a couple of days yet. You keep getting angry and making the blood pump harder around your body and the smell is driving me insane, I'm attempting to stay calm so I can keep my control and in turn, keep you alive!" he shouted angrily.

Jacob flinched and shrank back, he hadn't realised.

"How could you say that it isn't as bad as I think then?" he murmured sitting back down and trying to calm his racing heart. He hated the leech but he had no plans of becoming food any time soon. It was almost like he thought keeping quiet would make Edward less hungry.

Edward smiled dryly at both his words and his mental attempts at saving his own life,

"Because it isn't as bad as you think. On my side it's actually not looking so great right now but if you keep as inconspicuous as you can I might be alright" he replied with a half smile,

Jacob rolled his eyes,

"Sure, Sure"

Then he was quiet, Edward couldn't help his curiosity and decided to listen into his thoughts, he knew that Bella had told him they had abilities but he had obviously forgotten during the two years years.

'Stupid leech, as if he knows what I'm thinking. How the hell does he expect me to be inconspicou- whatever the hell he said! It's not easy to hide a six foot seven man in a small cage thing when he takes up almost a half of the space. I hope that bloodsucker knows what he is doing; I have no plans to be eaten any time soon!'

Edward smirked and then turned his gaze outside the cell, there was a really nice view and he guessed they were somewhere in the Olympic Mountains but where? He wasn't exactly sure, he hadn't been conscious when they had arrived there.

'Something tells me this is only the beginning of hell for us right now'

Edward couldn't agree more with that thought.
