Toxic Love

Bella/Jane

Rated: M

Summary: In exchange for Edward's life (during New Moon), Bella offers herself over and has to live with the Volturi for 1 year. Jane wants Bella and will do what it takes to keep her.

Authors Note: This is a story I started writing on a whim about a year ago and I've tweaked it the best I could in order to post it here. Fair warning, this story will not jump right into the smut. There will be loads of flirting and innuendos but the smut will be slow in coming (haha (; ). As the story progresses, Bella will turn dark (I think it'll suit being with Jane better than Jane turning all sweet and fluffy). And to answer some of the reviewers questions they PM'd me, Bella will be turned and she will be a human drinker. If that will offend you or it's something you're not interested in, I apologize, but, there are too many stories where Bella won't drink from humans. So this story will be dark, but I have yet to decide on how dark it will be. This will be from Jane's POV. It is a work in progress and I will do my best to get it written and typed. Any who, read/review and enjoy!

Ch.1

Grasping Aro's hand, I focused on what I wanted. Without the mind reader in the room, I freely thought. I knew if I thought of what I wanted while he was in here, I'd never get it. I wanted his human...his Bella. I'd been attracted to humans before but never quite like this. When I first saw her on the surface above us, I knew instantly that I had to have her. I wanted to take her and make her mine. Bella was quite striking..even for a fragile human. I just needed to get the Cullen boy out of the way. A plan was needed. Edward came here looking for death. He had apparently believed that his human was dead. I suddenly had an idea.

"Aro, I know what I need to do," I spoke calmly but with excitement.

"Then we should call for our guests back," Aro replied, grinning at me.

A few minutes later, Alice, Bella and Edward were walked back into the Throne Room. I'd asked Aro to think of wanting Alice for his "collection", this way Edward would protest and I could move my plan along. Since we're not killing him, we're going to tell him that we need something in exchange for him taking up our valuable time. My plan was flawless. Hopefully the little seer wouldn't see it.

"Absolutely not Aro! You can't have Alice in exchange for my life!" Edward all but shouted.

"Well unless you have a better idea dear boy in exchange for taking up our time then I see no other option," Aro answered cockily.

I was about to suggest my idea when the most beautiful voice I'd ever heard reached my ears. Bella was speaking.

"Then take me in Alice's place," my angel said.

I had to fight to keep my jaw from falling open. My plan was unfolding and it wasn't by my doing. Excellent. I watched Edward turn to gape at Bella.

"Bella, you can't be serious," Edward said disbelievingly.

"It's my fault that we're here Edward. I'm the one who was reckless and Alice saw it and thought I died. So I will do what's necessary to ensure that you and Alice remain unharmed," Bella replied, looking sternly at Edward.

"I won't allow it," Edward answered firmly, to which my eyes and Aro's widened at.

"Won't allow it? You're my boyfriend, not my boss Edward! And if you wanna get downright technical, this is all your fault. If you hadn't left me in the forest in the first place, none of this would be happening. Now, I'm willing to risk my life for yours, so shut the hell up and accept it," Bella half shouted. Both Alice and Edward winced from Bella's tone. Bella then turned to Aro and I.

"Will this deal satisfy you?" she demanded. I couldn't help but think how "satisfying" it'd be...especially when I claimed her. I quickly looked at Edward but it seemed that he hadn't heard my thought. Strange. Looking at Bella, it clicked into place. Aro couldn't read her, I couldn't inflict pain, and my brother couldn't take away her senses. She was a shield! And she was accidentally extending her power around us, protecting our thoughts. Oh how extraordinary she'll be as a vampire.

"Yes my dear, it will suffice. However, you must remain here for exactly one year. If you leave before that time is up, I will take Alice," Aro said and then turned to the Cullen's. "And if anyone comes for Bella before that mark, I will keep her longer. Agreed?" he finished, turning back to Bella.

"Agreed," Bella said instantly, holding her right hand out to Aro, who smiled and grabbed it gently, sealing the deal.

Edward looked as if steam were about to come out his ears. Alice wisely remained calm.

"You better be careful Bella. Aro, keep your guard away from Bella," Edward said warningly to both.

"Oh don't worry Edward, I'll take real good care of Bella," I said, grinning at Edward, then at Bella. She blushed and looked down at the floor. Perfect. This might not be so hard after all.

"I believe now is the time to depart, my friends," Aro spoke, clapping his hands together and smiling widely.

Bella walked to Edward, hugging him and kissing his cheek. He looked fit to be tied. Good. Turning to Alice, Bella hugged her obvious best friend as tight as possible.

"Be safe Bella. It'll be over before you know it," Alice whispered into Bella's ear and kissed her cheek.

"Take care of Charlie for me," Bella told Alice, who nodded her head. With one last look at Bella, Alice and Edward were escorted back to the streets. I looked at Aro and he nodded at me and then turned to walk away. Once Aro was gone, I walked to Bella and grabbed her hand, lightly of course.

"Come Bella, I'll show you your room and then I'll personally give you a tour of the castle," I said softly. Bella looked at our joined hands, blushing a bit, then back to my face and nodded.

Smiling, I walked at a human pace to the door that led to the rest of the palace, Bella a few inches behind me, our hands keeping us linked. I'm going to love the next twelve months, I thought to myself.

Authors Note: short chapter, I know, but what do you think? I'll try to get chapter two posted as soon as I can. Hopefully that pesky little thing known as life won't seriously prevent me from doing so. Anyways, would love to hear from you guys (and girls!). Haha.
