dangit aro, how dare you attempt to break up the cullens. i hope something major is in store for him and i wouldnt object to bella being turned while there but just as long as she kicks the volturi's ass.  good chapter. thanks for updating.

I like your story.  I agree that Aro is very interesting.  Greedy and malicious when he needs to be to get what he wants, but he always seemed to be me to prefer to things without malice, if at all possible.  Plus, he seems almost like a child - a spoiled one -- with his wanting to spend his days playing with new toys and making new discoveries and getting petulant when things don't go his way.  Of course, with his power, he could push beyond the boundaries.  I've always thought he needed more controls in his life and you bring more of that side to him out.

Not all powerful beings in the universe have to be wholly good or wholly evil, or even mature about either.  Afterall, vampires began as humans, so they have to be just as varied.  Great Job.

If ANY cullen members die i will personally kill you.Because i live in forks and all it takes is one trip to the cullen household . . . . . . . . .

LOL, very creative threat. I can't make any guarantees. : )

...I don't know...I'm conflicted...I think that bella is still strong enough to sacrifice themself and stay with Aro in order to save her family...but at the same time I don't think that the Cullens would be willing to let her go...they'd feel they failed her, again...I'm very courious in what is coming...

i wonder if in your story bella is also going to be a physical sheild in additional to a mental one. bella's also blocking alice's gift in this story, i wonder if she's going to be able to block all vampire powers. you know it would be cool if bella could use her sheild as a  mental weapon to or have a physical sheild that she could manipulate as a weapon. in addition to her sheild , i wonder if bella has some kind of gift that men seem attracted to her or drawn to her. i mean edward, james, felix are all attracted to a human and not just her blood but they all are sexually attracted and want her for their mate, of course edward and bella would still be true soulmates which could be confirmed by marcus's gift of sensing relationships. also, i  hope bella isn't going to go totally crazy hysterical later on, while trying to deal with what all james did to her. i definitely see bella as one of those women who is very strong willed and able to deal with being raped maybe alot better than most women who have gone threw something like that. i could definitely see her become a little tougher more of a badass because of it. i hope she doesn't push edward away when he tries to comfort her and more importantly i hope he doesn't push her away when and if she needs him intimately. i mean if a sadistic rapist like james could be with her sexually without any serious damage then edward should be able to be intimate without hurting her, especially  due to the depth of affection he has for her. anyway, just some thoughts. i can't wait to see what direction your story goes in. i'm looking forward to your next update. your story is really good so far. thank you for writing it  and please update soon.

You mad a lot of valid points and I'd love to give you some answers to your speculations but I think that it would give to much away. You'll just have tio read to find out. Thanks for the review. ; )

alright, i hate aro's pov not because of your writing well actually i guess it is because of your writing, he is pure evil. reading his point of view is argh the frustration i just want to scream run!! so while i detest the pov i love the character.its a i love to hate it sort of thing, really its a complement, crazy i know! Anyway can't wait to see ya get them out of this!!  maybe give bella some cool mad skills beyond what we  expect!!

Jeesh! You say that there are only 4 more chapters?! What on earth is up your sleave ?! How on earth are the Cullens going to get out of Aro's trap? Can't wait for more of your updates!!

So I have an uneasy feeling now that Aro is really involved. However I am looking forward to seeing what happens next... :-)

Nice upate.  I hope that Aro's plans fall apart in the worst of ways for him and the Volturi and that the Cullens leave Volterra victoriously.

Incredible writing as I can visualize each of these scenes clearly. One of the best versions of twilight and this would definitely adapt well to the screen.

Thaks for the review. What you said makes me feel really good. When I first started posting this story I wasn't sure anyone would like it. This is my first fanfiction that I'd ever attempted and I was a little intimidated at first but the wonderful reviews make me strive to keep writing.

Yes, I love writing Aro's POV as well and I love the way you've written this chapter. You've laid the foundation for the charges, but not really given away how Aro is going to approach the situation.

Glad you've already made inroads into chapter 17... I won't have to wait as long!

BRILLAINT!

 I get so stoaked everytime i see a new addition to your story. It''s marvelous!

  I hate feeling like a mean reader, but i'm hoping that Aro is the one who changes her and wants her for himself. But obviously, the Cullens get her in the end.

  Please please update sooner, i want to see what seditious Aro has up his sleeve next.

great chapter
