"Sebastian." Edward greeted coldly, ignoring his outstretched hand.

"Please, call me Seb." Sebastian smiled wickedly, withdrawing his hand gracefully.

"Where's my family?" Edward asked.

"They're safe, for now. And will remain so as long as you do as I ask."

"And my wife? Where is she? Will your return her?"

Sebastian shook his head, smiling sadly at Edward. "I'm afraid I can't do that, you see, I need her for my plans."
Edward snarled. "What plans?"

"Well, Edward, I want to get rid of the Volturi. I'm a bit bored of them, you see."

Edward shook his head, disbelieving. "You're going to get rid of them just like that?"

Sebastian narrowed his eyes. "You really don't know who I am, do you?"

Edward shrugged. "No, but I'm guessing you're about to tell me."

Sebastian smirked. "I'm the first vampire, Edward. I'm the original one. The one that started the race of vampires that led to you and Bella."

Edward shook his head again. "No, the Volturi are the original vampires."

Sebastian sighed. "Do you need me to prove it? I'm older than you can even imagine, Edward. I was created by a witch to kill a man who had wronged her, once I had completed her revenge, she let me go free. I then discovered my strength, how nothing could hurt me. But I grew lonely, so I made more like me. I made the Volturi. They decided they needed a family to rule our race, I disagreed. We fought, I left. I'm more powerful than the three of them put together. And now I've decided that I'm bored of them, so I need them gone. Though I could take all three of them on my own, I need help. They've surrounded themselves with protection, they won't let me anywhere near them. They have hundreds of vampires willing to lay down their lives for them. So I'm building an army of vampires with special powers like yours and Bella's, to take them down."

Edward listened to this with growing anger. This man had played with his family, had ordered Bella's death, had taken his daughter, just because he was 'bored' of the Volturi? Edward growled and Sebastian put his hands up.

"I know you're angry, Edward, about what I did, but you have to understand I don't want to hurt you, your wife or your family. I just want your help."

"You don't want to hurt us? You ordered Andrew to kill Bella, you kidnapped my daughter and you had Jane hold my family and I hostage, and you say you don't want to hurt us? Too late."

Sebastian sighed dramatically. "Yes, yes, but that's all in the past now. Currently your family, Bella and Renesmee are all at my house, safe and unharmed. Look, I apologize for what I did, but right now, I'm just politely asking you for your help."

Edward growled again, and turned away, but two of Sebastian's vampires who were standing nearby grabbed him. He shook one off, and ripped off his arm, but the other one grabbed him, and shoved him to the floor. Then another came forward and rested a hand on Edward's head. A sharp electrical jolt went through his body, and Edward convulsed with pain. Sebastian shook his head, disappointed.

"I'm upset you couldn't just accept my apology and agree to help me, because now things are about to get ugly."

Sebastian smiled viciously, and nodded at another vampire, watching nearby. He grabbed Edward and put a hand against his forward. Slowly Edward's world went black and he slumped forward.

( * * )

Bella groggily opened her eyes and found herself in a small, unfurnished room. She stood up and tried to remember what had happened. Then it all came rushing back, how Jack was protecting her but Andrew betrayed him, and brought her here. This must be Sebastian's house. Andrew had told her how Sebastian was building an army to overthrow the Volturi, but she still didn't know who he was. She'd never even seen him. Bella crept over to the door, and tried the handle. It was unlocked. She went outside and found herself in a landing, in a large house. There was no one in sight. Just then, she heard the front door open. She watched as a tall, handsome vampire walked in. He had dark hair, and dark grey eyes. He was wearing jeans, a white t-shirt and a leather jacket. She watched him shrug of the jacket and settle down into the sofa. He picked up a remote and started flicking through the channels on the TV.

"Are you going to come down, or would you prefer to stare at me from up there?" The vampire asked, sounding amused.

Bella jumped, then realized he was talking to her. She hesitantly crept down the stairs, until she was stood next to the sofa where he sat. He grinned at her.

"See, that's a bit less stalkerish." He winked at her, then went back to watching TV.

"Who are you?" Bella asked quietly.

He switched off the TV, then turned to face her.

"Right, of course. I'm Sebastian. And you're Bella."

She took a step back, and the look of confusion on her face changed to a look of horror and then anger.

"You! You're Sebastian!"

He simply chuckled. "The one and only. Look lets skip all the 'you kidnapped my family' and the 'you tried to kill me' nonsense, shall we? Let's just get to it, I'm building a vampire, I want you. You're a shield, I hear it has physical properties as well? Well, I need you to protect my army when we storm the Volturi, then they literally won't be able to touch us."

Bella shook her head vehemently. "And why should I help you? After everything you've done?"

Bella snarled at him.

He smiled sadly. "I much preferred it when you didn't know who I was, and you were watching me from up there. Shall we go back to that?" He smirked.

Bella glared at him. "Where's Nessie?"

"I'll take that as a no then. She's fine, and she will be, as long as you do as I say. And just to give you a little incentive…" He nodded, almost imperceptibly, and another vampire stepped out from a nearby room. He was dragging Edward along the floor.

"Edward!" Bella cried.

He looked up weakly, when he heard her voice and smiled sheepishly at her.

"Bella, you're not catching me at my best…" He said.

Bella shook her head, smiling with happiness, but then her smile faded. He was in bad shape, it seemed like he'd been tortured, a lot.

"Bella, meet Edward. Edward, this is Bella." Sebastian cut in, chuckling.

"Are you trying to be funny?" Bella spat at him.

"I was going for irony actually." He grinned, then he nodded at the vampire who was holding Edward. The vampire reached out and touched Edward's head, he convulsed with pain, screaming in agony. Bella shrieked.

"This is Miles. If he chooses, when he touches you, you feel a sharp electrical spark course through your body, over and over. The pain is unbearable, or so I hear, Miles has never come within a meter of me." Sebastian grinned again. When he grinned, Bella couldn't help but notice his whole face lit up, making him seem devastatingly handsome. Bella shook her head to rid those thoughts.

"Stop it!" She pleaded.

Sebastian nodded again, and Miles removed his hand. Edward slumped to the floor, his face twisted in agony. Bella stepped forward to go to him, but Sebastian stopped her.

"Wait. You can go to him in a minute. First listen. I've thought about it and I've decided, do I really need Edward for my army? He reads minds, so what? I know what they'll be thinking…'Omg Sebastian's attacking us, help help, omg omg omg!" Sebastian mocked the Volturi, in a high girl's voice. "So I don't need him, you on the other hand, Alice and Jasper could be much more useful. So if you don't do as I ask, I will not hesitate to kill Edward and the rest of his family who are no use to me." Sebastian said. "Including Nessie." He added.

Bella shook her head helplessly. She wanted to cry, though she knew no tears would come.

"I'll do it, I'll help you." She gave in.

Sebastian grinned triumphantly. He waved towards Edward. "Go ahead."

She ran towards him, and collapsed to the floor. She brushed the hair from his face, and stroked him.

"Edward?"

He wearily opened his eyes. "Bella." He breathed.

"I love you, Edward." She told him.

He smiled sadly. "I love you too."

"That's enough. Take him." Sebastian told Miles.

"No!" Bella screamed, as Miles dragged Edward away from her. She tried to run to him, but Sebastian grabbed her. She struggled, but he was much stronger than her. She cried, tearless sobs, as Sebastian grasped her tightly, until Edward was out of her sight. Then he let her go. She sank to the ground, he watched her, emotionlessly. Finally she stood up shakily.

"What do you need from me?" She asked quietly.

Sebastian narrowed his eyes. "You love him so much." He commented.

She frowned, confused. "Of course. Why?"

He shook his head, ignoring her question. "My army's not complete yet. I need some people. But I want you to come with me. The Volturi have heard rumours that I'm back and planning this, so they're still sending people to kill me. You'll be good for protection."

Bella nodded. What else could she do? If she refused, he would just kill Edward, or even Nessie! She had no idea what he was capable of.

( * * )

Bella was sat in Sebastian's car. They were going to recruit someone else for his army. He had explained his history to her on the way. He was the original vampire! She knew that meant he was more powerful than she could even imagine.

"How come you only took me for protection?" She turned to ask him, as he drove speedily along the roads.

He shrugged. "I trust you're motivated enough to want to protect me. You know that if I die, so do your family."

She glared at him and turned back to face the window. She hated him so much! And the worst part was –

"What's the worst part?" He asked making her jump. She looked at him stunned. He could read minds?

He nodded, answering her unspoken question. "One of the perks of being the first vamp, I guess."

He grinned. "Another thing to add to the list of my amazing qualities, after my devastating good looks, my charm and my awesome personality…."

She narrowed her eyes at him. He was so arrogant it was unbearable.

He smirked at her again. "It's what makes girls fall for me on the spot. You'll see."

She turned to look at him again, a look of shock on her face. "I'll see? What do you think is going to happen? You honestly believe that I'll fall for you! I'm married!"

He shrugged again. "So? I'm not saying anything will happen, I doubt you're capable of betraying Edward. But it doesn't mean feelings won't develop, on your side of course." He smiled infuriatingly at her.

"You kidnapped my husband and my daughter! You're threatening to kill them if I don't do as you say! You tortured Edward in front of me! And you have the nerve to suggest I'm going to fall for you?"

He nodded. "It may take longer than with other girls, as you do have more right to be angry with me, but it'll happen, you'll see." He smirked, and Bella's hand trembled. She felt like slapping the cheeky grin off his face.

"Try it, see where it gets you." He said, grinning more widely.

She exhaled in frustration and turned back to look out of the window. She could still hear him chuckling. They sat in silence for an hour before Sebastian pulled to a stop in front of a hotel just outside Forks. He got out of the car gracefully, then waited for her to get out too.

"You're shield is working, right?" He asked her.

She nodded, not saying anything. He sensed her anger and chuckled again.

"It's more fun when it happens to the stubborn ones." He winked at her, then held open the door, for her to pass through. She refused to look at him as she stepped past him. They took an elevator up to the fourth floor, then knocked on the door of a hotel room. The door was open by a tall blonde vampire, she was beautiful like all vampires. She was wearing jeans and a tank top. She beamed when she saw Sebastian.

"Seb! To what do I owe the pleasure?"

She ushered them in. Sebastian turned to Bella as they entered. "See. I killed her father, but there's no hate there. She's fallen, and so will you." He murmured into her ear, so quietly that only Bella could hear. He winked at her again then turned back to face the woman.

"Anna. This is Bella. Bella, Anna." He introduced her, gesturing to Bella. Anna glanced at Bella once then turned back to Sebastian, ignoring her completely.

She pouted. "It's been so long since I last saw you! Where have you been?" She reached out, and pulled Sebastian towards her, wrapping her hand around his neck, and pressing herself into him.

He stepped back, gently pushing her back. "I've been busy." He replied, shrugging.

Anna once again glanced at Bella, this time giving her a dirty look.

"Busy?" She asked, a trace of irritation in her voice.

"I'm here on business. I need you, Anna, for my army."

She nodded knowingly. "Still planning to overthrow the Volturi?" Sebastian nodded in reply. "Well, I'm in. You know I've never refused you anything." She smiled suggestively at him, and he grinned back.

"Great. Let's go then."

He walked out of the room, followed by Anna and Bella. On their way back to the car, Sebastian paused. Bella looked at him questioningly but he didn't say anything. He put a finger to his lips, and stood there, waiting. Bella looked around, but she couldn't see or hear anything. No sooner had she thought that, then five vampires burst out of the nearby woodland. Sebastian spun around and started fighting with the nearest one. Anna was also fighting. Bella turned, and immediately a vampire leaped on her. She shook him off, and turned to fight.

"Bella, now would be a good time to use that shield of yours." Sebastian shouted, as he fought with the vampire.

Bella closed her eyes, but the vampire leaped on her again before she could use her shield. He snarled at her, and she fought him off. When she turned she saw Sebastian had killed two of the vampires, and was now helping Anna.

"Bella! Shield. Now!" He shouted, when he saw her looking. He leaped forward and jumped on the vampire who was attacking Bella. With the others distracted, Bella could pull forward her shield. She felt it respond, and she stretched it out to surround Sebastian and Anna. The remaining three vampires stopped, realizing they couldn't touch Sebastian.

"Bella. Surround him too." Sebastian ordered, pointing at the nearest vampire.

Bella nodded and did as he asked. When the vampire was inside their shield, Sebastian jumped on him, and shoved him to the ground.

"Who sent you?" He snarled. The other two vampires ran away when they saw what was happening.

"A-Aro." The vampire stuttered. Sebastian nodded thoughtfully, then killed him. When Sebastian had lit a fire, they returned to the car.

Bella was slightly shaken up, but was otherwise unharmed.

"You did well." Sebastian murmured, appearing at her side.

Bella ignored him, though she did appreciate what he said. She knew she wouldn't have been able to use her shield if he hadn't distracted the vampire who was attacking her.

"That's true. We'll have to train you, you need to be able to use your shield even while being attacked. I won't always be near enough to help." He said, in response to her unspoken thoughts.

She glared at him. "Stay out of my head!" She snarled. She called her shield to protect her thoughts. He simply grinned. "That may work on Edward, but I'm an Original. You can't keep me out." He winked then left to get inside the car. Bella was about to get in the passenger seat, when she felt Anna shove her out the way. Then Anna slid into the car, next to Sebastian. She smirked at Bella.

"Try the backseat." She glared at Bella, giving her a dirty look. Bella sighed and got in the back. To her annoyance, she heard Sebastian chuckling.

( * * )

They reached Sebastian's house without any further mishaps. Bella got out, slamming the door behind her, and marched into the house. Sebastian followed her, grabbing her wrist as she went inside.

"Where are you going in such a hurry?" He asked her, raising an eyebrow.

Bella rolled her eyes. "Who's going to attack you in your own house? If you remember, I'm here against my will, so I'd rather not spend every moment with you." She snapped at him.

"Well, like you just said, you're here against your will, so if I say you have to spend every moment with me, then guess what? You have to spend every moment with me." He growled quietly at her.

"Seb? What's happening?" Anna asked, stepping inside. She ignored Bella again.

"Nothing. Make yourself comfortable, pick a bedroom." Sebastian said, gesturing upstairs.

Anna pouted again. "Don't you want to come with me?" She winked at him, but he shook his head.

"Bella and I have work to do." Sebastian said, not even looking at Anna.

Anna gave Bella the dirtiest glare she could manage, before she stalked upstairs.

Bella sighed. "She hates me you know."

Sebastian simply grinned. "No need to fight over me, girls. Plenty of me to go around."

Bella glared at him, trying to copy Anna's dirty look, but it had no effect on Sebastian. He took her by the hand, and started to lead her upstairs.

"Where are we going?" Bella asked, irritably.

"To train. I told you, you need to be able to use your shield even while you're fighting. Otherwise it's no use."

Bella felt a shiver run down her spine when he said 'no use'. She knew that if she wasn't able to please Sebastian, he would kill her whole family. She shook her head, and tried to concentrate. She had to show she was in full control of her shield. Sebastian took her to a room, and lightly pushed her into the room. Bella looked around. It was quite plain, it was dominated by a single bed in the centre. There was a bookcase surrounding the room, but it didn't have any books. Instead it was filled with CDs.

"This is your bedroom?" She turned to ask Sebastian, questioningly. He nodded. "Why do you have a bed? Don't tell me because you're an Original, you can sleep?" Bella asked, her face showing disbelief, but Sebastian shook his head.

"The bed isn't for sleeping." He winked, suggestively at her.

Bella narrowed her eyes in disgust at him.

"Why are we in your bedroom, Sebastian?" Bella asked, angrily.

"I told you. To train." He replied, still grinning.

"And why do we have to train in your bedroom? This house is massive, I'm sure there are plenty of rooms we could train in." Bella asked, still glaring at him.

"There are, but I want to do it here." He smirked at her.

Bella knew if she weren't a vampire, she would be blushing furiously by this point.

"I bet you look even more beautiful when you're blushing." Sebastian commented, reading her thoughts as per usual.

Bella turned away from him, sighing in frustration.

"Can we just get on with it?"

He sighed. "Always so eager."

"Always? You barely know me."

"And I'd like to change that." He murmured into her ear. She hadn't even noticed him coming towards her, until he was right there. She could feel him standing right behind her. His hands were on her waist. Bella called up her shield, and Sebastian's hands flew off her.

"See, I can use my shield just fine." She said, turning around and smirking at him.

He shook his head. "You weren't distracted. Take down your shield."

Bella did as he ordered. "Now I'm going to attack you. I want you to call up your shield."

Before she could reply, he leaped at her. She moved out the way, but he was faster and he anticipated what she was going to do. He turned around, mid air, landing in front of her.

She swung to the side, and tried to call up her shield. Just when she was about to use it, he was on her again. He pushed her to the ground, but she jumped back up on her feet again. He grabbed her and shoved her back against the wall, but she pushed him back, and moved to the other side of the room. He leaped at her again and she ducked, but again he was too fast for her. He pressed her into the floor, she tried to jump up again, but he lay down on top of her, pinning her arms to the ground.

"You lose." He murmured. "I could have killed you by now."

Now that he wasn't attacking her, Bella easily pulled her shield around her, and he was thrown off her. He landed gracefully on his hands and feet. Then he stood up and offered her a hand. Ignoring it, she pushed herself up.

"You need more training." He told her.

She shook her head. "It's not fair if you attack me. You're much stronger than any vampire I'll have to face." She protested.

He stroked his chin thoughtfully. "You're right."

He moved around her, and opened his bedroom door.

"Anna? Could you come in here?" He called. Then he turned to her.

"Happy? Though I'm guessing she won't be playing as nice as me when I tell her to attack you. You were right before, she really does hate you." He grinned, clearly enjoying himself.

Bella sank into the bed. What had she got herself into?

Hey guys. So, Sebastian? Smoking hot villain. Opinions? Review please, it's really not that difficult and won't take that much time and will make yours truly really happy :)
