The castle buzzed with people in jostle as they pushed each other to go to the armory. Alice had a vision; the romanians along with the werewolves were coming.

Bella, Athenodora, Sulpicia and Aphrodite were in the throne room with the kings and the high guards. Aro knew that the Romanians will surely attack the back wall of the castle.

The door to the throne room was thrown open. On the doorway stood the Olympic Coven and the Denalis. "I can't express my gratitude for you all," Aro said.

Carlisle nodded, his eyes watching Bella with concern. He had never seen her in such a defensive stance. The nervous girl was replaced by a strong woman.

The howl of a werewolf was enough to put everyone in a defensive position. The high guards went into high alert, all preparing themselves for the war.

"No matter, I love you," Bella heard Caius saying the three special words to Athendora who repeats them back. "Thank you for coming in my life," she heard the faint voice of Marcus whispering to Aphrodite.

Aro looked at Bella, his eyes trying to find hers. "If we get out of this alive... will you marry me?" Aro asked, his voice trembling. Bella's eyes were filled with tears, a soft yes leaving her mouth.

The approaching footsteps were increasing, accompanied by howls of the werewolves. Aro and Bella looked around, accessing everyone and everything.

"Let's end this," Caius whispered, cracking his neck. The vampires in red and black cloaks ran into the throne room, trying to kill everyone and everything in their way.

The kings and queens stood on the podium, looking around at the on going blood shed. Marcus and Aro shared a look of concern as they saw the Romanians trying to rip the guards apart.

Alice ripped the head of a lady while Jasper hold her hands. Edward punched his way while Carlisle and Esme fought together. Emmett tackled a werewolf, breaking its neck with his bare hands. Rosalie kicked the vampires on her side, trying to help others in the middle.

Jane inflicted pain on a rather gaint vampire while Demetri cracked his neck. Alec took away the senses of a vampire with the power to break body parts of a vampire with just a glance, Felix doing the rest of it.

James fought four Romanians all together expertly. Chelsea easily tackled a werewolf. Corin was proving to be a bit messy on her moves. Everyone tried to do their best.

Aro, Caius and Marcus shared a look, a silent conversation taking place. Aro nodded and Caius and Marcus walked down the podium.

Instantly, Aro could see a difference. Caius was killing restlessly while Marcus showed a stark change in his fighting skills.

"I think I should go," Athenodora said, opening her long cape to be more free. A knife in her hand, shining and alluring to kill.

Athenodora joined the fighting, helping Caius and fighting by his side. Aphrodite looked around, a bit scared. "I will accompany," Sulpicia chimed in.

Aro turned to look at her. "Are you sure?" He asked. "As sure as I have always been," Sulpicia said, taking out her knives. Bella bit on her lower lip.

"Aro, we should," Bella gestured to the battle. Aro stared in front of him, a slight worry in his head. "Aro, they need our help," Bella encouraged him.

Aro looked at Bella, his red eyes filled with tears. Bella intertwined her fingers with him. "We will be fine," Bella whispered, placing a kiss on his lips.

"I love you, Isabella Swan," Aro said, his voice softer than ever. "I love you too, Aro Volturi," Bella replied, her eyes skimming over his eyes.

Bella and Aro parted their ways, fighting to stay alive. Bella didn't see the werewolf coming towards her until she was pushed to the floor. Bella tried to fight the wolf but it was very big.

Bella thought she was dead until someone pushed it away. Bella looked away to find James. He helped her climb up to her feet. "You are doing amazing," he said. "Thanks," Bella smiled.

Bella looked around, finding Edward struggling with two vampires. Bella sighed, running toward one of them and jumping on his neck, cracking his neck with her bare hands.

Edward kicked the vampire into the marble floor, his eyes filled with certain sadness. "You have changed," he stated. "I had to," Bella replied, walking back to the battle.
