Faceless Queen 13

“Cullens welcome to Volterra.”Sulpicia greeted the coven when they entered the throne room with the guard that had been escorting them since Forks. Rosalie had never been in the castle before and finally understood why people said they felt on edge the entire time they were there. Rosalie herself was on alert not only because of the atmosphere of the castle but because Queenie had jumped down from her shoulder and taken off as soon as they entered the building. Rosalie had asked Jane about it and she told her that it would meet up with her later. Noticing an empty fourth throne on the dais with the other three Rosalie figured that Queenie had gone off to meet Isabella. Isabella who Rosalie was hoping would be at the trial. Not only so Rosalie could finally meet her but to see her deal with Carlisle and Edward.

“It is nice to be here your majesty. Although we are uncertain why we received such an invitation.”Carlisle was somewhat concerned by the fourth throne but took comfort in it being empty. That likely meant Isabella wasn’t going to be there and he and Edward would easily be able to handle the other three queens.

Didyme took a moment to see each of the bonds within the coven frowning when she looked between Carlisle and Esme.”I see why you have never brought Esme to the castle Carlisle.”

“I never had a reason to introduce you as we try and stay out of vampire politics.”Carlisle lied. He kept Esme away from the castle so that the queen wouldn’t see they weren’t really mates. Something he had thought he could keep the attention of Didyme off of.

“You are a bad liar Carlisle.”Didyme said.

“What is Di?”Sulpicia knew it had to do with Carlisle’s mate bond as Didyme was in expert in all bonds because of her gift. Sulpicia’s mate got very angry when someone messed with a bond or claimed a false one. Claiming a false one being what Sulpicia figured Carlisle did.

“Let’s wait until Isabella gets here to tell them their charges.”Didyme didn’t want to start the trial without Isabella.

“Isabella who is always late.”Athenodora was not happy that Isabella was taking so long.

“You act like it isn’t you and the other two queens who usually make me late.”A heavily accented female voice said.

Rosalie perked up hearing that voice. She didn’t recognize the accent at all but that didn’t matter right then. What mattered was the brown haired woman walking into the room that Rosalie knew to be Isabella. She was wearing the same armor that she wore in the painting and had red eyes but that was the only similarities to the painting. Isabella’s hair was brown with auburn highlights and a lot longer than the painting. Rosalie didn’t know if it was the artist’s choice or that Isabella grew it out with her human body. The other differences were that although Carlisle mentioned that Isabella had scars he didn’t say that that her skin was branded. The brands left symbols on her forehead, cheeks and chin. Another thing that was different was the tattoos of more symbols, crude drawings and patterns that covered her neck up to her hair line and chin. They also covered the back of her hands and from what Rosalie could tell at least all the lower parts of her arms. All those things were interesting but not as interesting as the fact that once Rosalie looked into those red eyes she felt the same way she did about Queenie and knew instantly that Isabella was her mate.

“What the hell?”Rosalie murmured.

“Rose.”Isabella made her way in front of Rosalie and bowed.

Rosalie watched in confusion as Isabella stood from her bow and began speaking to her in a strange language while gesturing with her hands. Rosalie wasn’t sure Isabella was actually saying words though. When she stopped speaking and looked at Rosalie expectantly Rosalie wasn’t sure what to say.”I’m sorry?”

“My love the poor girl can’t understand you when you speak in your people’s language.”Athenodora didn’t understand the language either. It was very intricate and didn’t use words. It used grunts, clicks, hums and other sounds that could be made with the mouth that were accompanied with hand and finger movements. Athenodora and the other two queens had tried to learn but even with their vampire minds they weren’t able to grasp it. Isabella’s people didn’t have a written language so they had no way of studying it except for Isabella teaching them. The ancient had given it her best effort but the lessons never stuck.

One thing about that statement stuck out to Rosalie.”My love?”

“We will talk about that later.”Isabella would explain her bond with Athenodora when she explained what type of species she was to Rosalie.”I would like to first apologize for not meeting you sooner. You don’t know how happy I am to have finally have you in my life after being alive for so long.”

Rosalie would like to push Isabella for the answer but didn’t think this was the right setting to do so.”I’m happy to have finally met you as well. I also want to thank you for letting your cat stay with me. I enjoyed it’s company very much.”

“I’m sure Queenie felt the same.”Jane teased from her place between Sulpicia and Didyme’s thrones.

“You keep your mouth shut.”Isabella was going to make the next training session with Jane extra painful for the small vampire.

“Don’t threatened Jane Isabella.”Didyme scolded.

“You always choose her side.”Isabella grumbled.

“Can we please get back to the trial. Now that Isabella is home I’m sure we would all like to spend time with her.”Sulpicia wanted to find out what the dangerous woman had been up to as the check ins weren’t that detailed.

“I promise by the time this is all over you will get your justice.”Isabella gave Rosalie a kiss on the cheek and made her way to her throne taking a seat.

“Now let’s get on with this.”Athenodora was of the same thought as Sulpicia she wanted to know what Isabella had been up to.

“Cullens you are being charged with failing to kill the mate of a vampire you killed, failing to report a newborn army being created in your territory, failing to report the wolf shifters and also failing to give them any aide. Plus some other charges that Isabella and Didyme will discuss after we deal with these ones.”Sulpicia told them.

“Your majesty I have to ask why are we being charged with failing to give aide to the shifters?”Carlisle had never heard of any vampire giving aide to any shifters.

“Shifters are under the protection of Queen Isabella and because of that they are monitored and taken care of by us. You failing to report them meant that you should have taken personal responsibility for their well being. Instead you left them isolated and living in poverty with no understanding of their true history.”Sulpicia explained.

“You are very lucky she didn’t kill you right away for that transgression or her cat didn’t.”Athenodora knew that Isabella would have if Carlisle hadn’t had committed crimes against Rosalie. The same with Edward.

“We shouldn’t be charged with that as I didn’t know about such a law. I was of the belief that you would kill them off like you killed the children of the moon.”Carlisle took a step back when Isabella growled at him.

“Never compare a shifter to those abominations!”Isabella wouldn’t stand for shifters to be insulted in such a way.

Didyme put her hand on Isabella’s arm.”He isn’t yours to kill.”

“And that is the only reason he is still alive.”Isabella wouldn’t take away Rosalie’s chance for revenge.

“Since your ignorance for a law which you should have learned when you lived in the castle isn’t a worthy defense you have been found guilty of that crime.”Sulpicia told them.

“We are guilty of nothing. Those shifters’ entire purpose is to kill vampires. We should be killing them not supporting them.”Edward wasn’t fast enough to block Isabella’s punch to the face sending him flying into a wall.

Athenodora jumped up from her throne and wrapped her arms around Isabella stopping her from advancing on Edward.”Darling you can’t kill him either think of Rosalie.”

“Even if I can’t kill him I can still beat on him.”Isabella said.

“I could easily beat you in fight.”Edward knew that if it was a fair fight he would win. The only reason Isabella got a hit in was because she cheated.

Sulpicia laughed.”You truly believe you could win a fight against Isabella?”

“My cat has told me all about the boy’s many threats and how he boasted of his superiority many times. However most of his strategy hinged on being in possession of my sword. The statements were so delusional that Queenie laughed at him many times.”Isabella found Edward’s belief in his skills very funny.

“I knew the cat gave her information.”Jasper mumbled.

“Yes you were very right Jasper. The cat told me every single thing you all said and about everything it witnessed.”Isabella was basically telling the truth as being the cat Isabella got all the information.

“What exactly is the cat?”Alice asked not being able to stop herself.

“Maybe one day when your minds aren’t so open I’ll let you in on all my cat’s secrets. That day however will not be today.”Isabella was planning on asking Rosalie how involved she wanted Isabella to be with her siblings.

“Does that mean we will get the blocks like Rosalie has?”Emmett hoped so. It would be nice to have the privacy.

“We have more important things to worry about than the blocks right now. Dora release Isabella.”Sulpicia knew if she didn’t tell Athenodora to let Isabella go she would hold her in her arms for the rest of the trial.

“She is perfectly fine right where she is.”Athenodora didn’t want to end the cuddle session.

“If you don’t let her go then the trial will drag out and you will have to wait longer to get her alone.”Didyme pointed out.

Athenodora huffed.”Fine.”

“Don’t worry we will have some time to ourselves soon.”Isabella promised.

Athenodora turned Isabella around, kissed her hard on the mouth and let her go.”I will hold you to that.”

“What is going on?”Rosalie asked. She was very confused by the way her mate was acting with the queen. The most confusing part being she wasn’t jealous or angry seeing the pair being affectionate with each other like she would expect to be.

“I’m sorry Rosalie I know all this is very confusing for you. I’m now regretting not speaking to you in private before the trial. As it is if some of the crimes weren’t against you personally I wouldn’t even bother with me and you being here.”Isabella told her as she retook her seat on her throne.

“Are you talking about my turning?”Rosalie hoped this meant that she would finally find out what Carlisle and Edward did.

“We will get to that. First we need to discuss you not killing Victoria and reporting the newborns. Newborns you knew about well before they gained such high numbers.”Sulpicia said.

“We didn’t kill Victoria because we couldn’t find her. She is a nomad who none of our contracts could track.”Carlisle used the lie he and Edward had come up with on the plane.

“Jasper you are the only one with any contacts in vampire society. Did Carlisle have you reach out to anyone to find the whereabouts of Victoria?”Athenodora asked.

“It wasn’t Jasper’s job to reach out to people it is mine as the coven leader.”Carlisle didn’t want his children being questioned because he hadn’t discussed the plan with them.

”A show of hands. How many of you were told Victoria wasn’t a threat and you didn’t need help killing her or the newborns?”Isabella knew the answer but needed it to be admitted in front of the court.

Carlisle was not happy when everyone but Edward and himself raised their hands.”That’s not true at all. We called the Denali and Jasper called his friends Peter and Charlotte.”

“Wait didn’t you say that it was your job to call for help not your children?”Didyme asked.

“Well…I mean..He.”Carlisle stuttered out.

“My cat was witness to many conversations with Carlisle and Edward preventing the rest of the coven from reaching out to us. As a matter of fact Jasper was punished for calling Peter and Charlotte and the Denali were only called because Carlisle thought they wouldn’t contact us.”Isabella told everyone.

“Your cat isn’t a credible source.”Edward wasn’t going to be convicted with evidence given by a cat.

Sulpicia ignored Edward.”Jasper were you punished for calling your friends to get help with the Victoria and the army?”

“I was. Carlisle took my reading privileges away.”Jasper told her.

“You prevented the boy from reading?”Didyme asked in disbelief.

“It was a suitable punishment for disobeying me.”Carlisle told her.

“So you admit that you tried to prevent Jasper from reaching out for help against Victoria and the newborns.”Didyme said.

“No I didn’t admit that.”Carlisle backtracked.

“Then what was Jasper punished for?”Athenodora was enjoying seeing Carlisle trying to lie his way out of being punished.

Carlisle quickly thought of an excuse.“What he was punished for was a private matter that is between me and him.”

“Regardless if you punished Jasper or not the fact remains that you didn’t inform us of the army being created in your territory. An army that reach over 30 in numbers before the guard took care of it and brought a lot of attention from the humans due to all the missing and murdered humans caused by their creation.”Didyme hated when innocent vampires had to die but large groups of newborns that were created to fight couldn’t shake off their indoctrinated rage and thirst for violence. They had to kill many newborns over the years just for those reasons and Didyme mourned every wasted life.

“We didn’t inform you because we knew we could take care of the problem and didn’t need your help.”Edward told her.

“For the time being let’s just ignore that it’s the law to report them. How do you explain not containing them when you first found out about them? Why did you let them get to the point that we have to send a clean up squad to deal with the destruction and the human officials to contain the situation?”Athenodora asked.

“We didn’t know about them until they already had high numbers. That and we knew we needed some training with the wolves to prepare for dealing with the threat.”That was another excuse Carlisle came up with Edward.

“Alice how many newborns were in your first vision?”Isabella knew that Alice wouldn’t lie to them.

“The first vision I had that clued us into the army was of Victoria and a boy named Riley discussing the plan to create one. They hadn’t even turned the first human yet.”Alice ignored the glares she was receiving from Carlisle and Edward. She didn’t care what they thought she wouldn’t lie to the queens. With how things were going it looked like the pair were the only ones who were going to be convicted of anything and Alice wasn’t going to risk her life for them.

“You traitor!”Edward couldn’t believe that Alice would throw them under the bus like that.

“Why if there were only two of them didn’t you target them then?”Sulpicia hadn’t heard of them knowing that soon in Victoria’s plan.

“Once again Victoria is a nomad we didn’t know where to find her.”Carlisle told them.

“We have already dealt with that lie, let’s get back to the fact that you didn’t inform us of their existence. Something that I personally know Carlisle knows is a law as he was at the trial were Santiago tried to steal my sword. That trial being about a coven of vampires being tried for creating a newborn army. So why didn’t you report them to us Carlisle?”Isabella remembered the event because Carlisle had snuck to the corner of the room and thrown up after she finished with the thief.

“We were worried that you would kill all of us because Angela is still human and we hid the wolves from you.”Carlisle was sure the queens would believe that excuse.

”You think we would care about a human who still has months left on her bargain to turn and some shifters more than an army of vampires led by an insane woman who were bringing a lot of attention to our kind? If we hadn’t stepped in when we did vampires would have been exposed and you would have been responsible for starting a world wide war between humans and supernaturals.”Athenodora didn’t understand why Carlisle thought he could control the situation when it had gotten so out of hand so quickly.

“It wouldn’t have gotten to that point. We could have easily..”Edward was cut off by Isabella.

“My cat trained with all of you and kicked every single one of your and the wolves’ assess.”Isabella flinched when Didyme’s tutted at her use of a curse word. She would pay for that later.”It did it without even using its full capabilities. That is not even mentioning the times it went after your face and almost took Carlisle’s head. How do you think you would have killed off an army of over 30 newborns and a vampire driven insane by the loss of her mate when you couldn’t even defend yourself against a house cat?”

“I was being careful not to hurt the cat.”Edward scowled when the queens, Jane, Rosalie and his siblings laughed.

“Every time the cat attacked you you would scream like a little girl and beg for help. I should also add that you have threatened to kill the cat many times. There is no way you were holding back from not hurting it.”Isabella had felt Edward’s efforts to try and hurt her and he definitely wasn’t holding back.

“I didn’t scream or beg for anything.”Edward would never do either of those things.

“You really are as weak as you are dishonest.”Isabella said.

“I’m not weak. I could beat anyone in this room in a fight.”Edward could easily kill anyone in the room. Even Rosalie who had Isabella’s sword.

Athenodora laughed harder.”You are such a fool. I honestly don’t know why your mouth hasn’t gotten you killed a long time ago.”

“It’s probably why Carlisle moves them around so much. Edward likely pisses someone off and Carlisle makes them move before Edward gets hurt.”Isabella could easily see Carlisle running away from a fight.

“He has upset a lot of people.”Rosalie had seen Edward piss people off to the point of violence many times and every time he would run away.

“True the last place we lived he insulted Carlisle’s boss’ wife so badly that Carlisle had to quit his job and we moved a week later.”If Fran really thought about it they did move a lot because of Edward making people mad.

“Back to the matter at hand.”Sulpicia wanted to get back on topic.”Why didn’t you take care of the newborns before they got so out of hand?”

“They didn’t get out of hand until very recently.”Carlisle told her.

“Rosalie who in your coven wanted to report the army to us and why didn’t you?”Athenodora knew Rosalie was trustworthy.

“Myself, Jasper, Alice, Emmett, Fran and Esme all wanted to go after Victoria. Carlisle and Edward refused to let us the both claiming she wouldn’t be a threat even though Jasper shared with everyone his experience dealing with a vampire who lost their mate. Once we found out she was creating the army all of us except Carlisle and Edward wanted to contact you. The pair once again stopped us and the reason we didn’t do it ourselves is because we had no way to get in touch with you. We thought about getting the Denali to help but they had been firm in telling us they didn’t want to be involved and we didn’t want to upset them.”Rosalie explained.

“You lie!”Edward said.

“My cat has already confirmed the story as true.”Isabella told him.

“Your cat isn’t a real witness.”Edward wouldn’t let them take the word of a cat over him.

“Alright so all the charges listed have been dealt with and we now know who are the guilty parties.”Didyme ignored Edward once again.

“Yes, in light of all the evidence and the testimony of those involved we have decided that Rosalie, Emmett, Fran, Alice, Jasper and Esme you are all found not guilty of the charges against you.”Sulpicia and the other queens had decided a while ago that they would be let go but had to go through the trial to keep up appearances.

“Thank you your majesty.”Jasper was very relieved to hear that.

“Yeah thanks.”Emmett just like Jasper was very relieved that he and Fran were going to be let go. Now he would actually have a chance to live his dream of being a professional gamer.

“Carlisle and Edward you are found guilty of these crimes.”Sulpicia told them.

“We have committed no crimes.”Carlisle yelled.

“It’s them that are guilty.”Edward yelled at the same time.

”Although you are guilty you will not be punished for these crimes.”Athenodora smirked when both men sagged in relief.”That is because Rosalie deserves to be the one who chooses the punishment for the crimes you committed against her.”

“We have done nothing to Rosalie.”Carlisle wasn’t worried about the charges as the queens had no proof of what he and Edward did.

“What crimes?”Rosalie hoped this meant that she would finally find out what happened during her turning.

“There are no crimes because like Carlisle said we did nothing to Rosalie.”Edward wasn’t going to admit to anything and he knew Carlisle wouldn’t either. That would be the only way they would be convicted of anything.

“Before we begin I want both Edward and Carlisle restrained.”Isabella wanted to make sure they didn’t go after Rosalie during the rest of the proceedings.

“Let me go!”Edward fought against the guards holding him but just like with the guards that came to Forks and the last time in the throne room he couldn’t read their mind.

“Release me!!”Carlisle didn’t understand why he and Edward were being restrained.

“What crime should we start with?”Sulpicia asked Isabella.

“Rosalie would you like us to start at the beginning or would you like to go over recent events and go backwards?”Isabella wanted Rosalie to lead how this went.

“It’s going to be bad isn’t it?”Rosalie knew that whatever she found out was going to be devastating.

Isabella nodded her head sadly.”I’m sorry Rose but you will not find the peace you seek on this path and if you truly don’t want to know I will allow you to leave the room.”

“I want to know.”Rosalie wouldn’t even consider not finding out what happened. If she didn’t she would drive herself mad with the possibilities.

“If you’re sure?”Isabella wanted Rosalie to be positive.

“I’m sure. Let’s start at the beginning.”Rosalie wanted to know what really happened during her turning.

“One of the reasons I couldn’t meet you sooner was because I was collecting evidence to prove what I’m about to reveal is the truth.”Isabella pulled a bunch of journals and a computer out of the satchel that she had brought in the room with her.

“Where did you get those?”Edward recognized a few of those journals as they belonged to him.

“Who gave you those?”Carlisle knew that Isabella couldn’t have gotten his personal journals without help.

“I will start with the first journal entry about Rosalie written by Edward.”Isabella ignored the pair’s questions and opened the journal, picking a marked page and reading out loud.”I saw a woman today. She was the personification of perfection. I inquired about her and found out she comes from a wealthy family. She would be the perfect choice for my mate. Not only does she fit my specifications for the female form the money from her family would help us gain a better standing in vampire society. I spoke to Carlisle and we both agree that I will approach her and once she is under my control we will both reap the benefits.”

“They targeted me from the beginning?”Rosalie had always suspected that and was happy she now knew for sure.

“Not only Edward but Carlisle did as well. Here’s his first entry about you.”Isabella picked up a different journal and began reading out loud again.”Edward came to me today about a woman he saw. I had seen her as well. Edward was right she is perfect. The girl’s beauty and money will make my coven that much more powerful. I’m thinking that I am going to kill Esme so that when we have the girl we can make her think that both Edward and I are her mates. That way we can both enjoy her.”

“What the fuck?!”Emmett couldn’t believe what he just heard.

“Wait why would he kill Esme? Isn’t she his mate?”Alice asked.

“That was something that was going to be brought up later but no she is not Carlisle’s mate.”Didyme told her.

“I’m not Carlisle’s mate?”Esme felt a wave of relief wash over her. She had always felt trapped with Carlisle and could honestly say she never loved him. To be free of him felt like the greatest thing that ever happened to her.

“That’s not true. Those journals are forged.”Carlisle couldn’t let anyone know that those were in fact Edward and Carlisle’s words.

“I got all these journals out of various safes you keep at your properties but don’t worry I have more evidence than just the journals.”Isabella wouldn’t have just relied on the journals to prove Carlisle and Edward’s guilt.”Now should I continue?”

“Yes I want to know what else they said.”Rosalie told her.

“Alright back to Edward.”Isabella went back to the original journal.”I met the bitch today. Her name is Rosalie Hale and she dare think she is better than me. I talked to her and she had the audacity to brush off my advances. That spoiled brat should be jumping at the chance to get on her knees and pleasure me with her mouth. For her to roll her eyes and scoff when I hinted at her doing the act!! Mark my words I will have that bitch begging me to let her touch me.”

“What the fuck?!”Emmett repeated.

Rosalie tried to remember the incident that Edward was talking about. She had been approached by more than one man who made crude remarks that Edward didn’t stand out.”I don’t remember talking to him.”

“Oh Edward. You were so pitiful she doesn’t even remember such an important moment in your life.”Isabella taunted the angry faced boy.

“She’s lying. She remembers.”Edward knew that Rosalie relived that day and regretted never taking him up on the offer.

“And there you go confirming that the journal is yours.”Athenodora said.

“Please continue.”Rosalie wanted to see how this escalated to her being turned.

“I warn you that this next entry begins a disturbing journey and that you might not want to travel it.”Isabella told Rosalie.

“I can handle it and if I can’t I have you and Queenie to help me get though it.”Rosalie would be able to get through it because she wasn’t alone anymore. She had Isabella and Queenie to help carry the emotions.

“You have us as well Rosalie.”Jasper would never leave Rosalie to deal with this on her own.

“Yeah we got your back.”Alice said.

“Thank you.”Rosalie was touched that her siblings would have her back.

“Alright now it’s Carlisle’s turn. This entry is after a few of him describing stalking you.”Isabella grabbed a new journal.”Edward was right. The girl is a bitch. When my son had been rebuffed I tried on my own to get the girl’s attention. She had the audacity to ask me how my wife was and the way she asked the question. I now know the only way to gain control of her will be to turn her. I have to go about it in a way that will make her think that Edward and I are her saviors. That and the sire bond will solidify her loyalty to us and then we can keep her as our toy. Maybe if the girl is lucky I will unchain her from my bed one afternoon a week so she can bathe.”

Alice put her arm around Rosalie.”It’s ok Rosalie.”

“They planned everything didn’t they?”Rosalie asked.

“Carlisle had the false belief that the sire bond was a real thing. That and him claiming he saved you he thought would make you completely devoted to him and Edward.”It broke Sulpicia’s heart seeing the way Rosalie was reacting to finding out the truth.

“The next entry is about the event. Do you want me to skip it?”Isabella asked.

”No I want to know exactly what they did.”Rosalie said.

Isabella grabbed a different journal and opened it.”Everything went perfect. Edward had befriended the men and once he was their confidant it was easy to follow the plan. That bitch keeps the same routine so it was no problem for Edward to get them drunk and stumble across her path. It’s just to bad Edward didn’t stop himself from taking a turn. We were going to take her together. Not that I can blame him. It would be nice to have her with a warm body. I would have jumped at the chance while she was turning but Esme has been by the girl’s side the entire time. It makes me regret bringing her home. I should have kept her somewhere isolated. It wouldn’t be a good idea for her to make connections with others. They could influence her. I will speak to Edward and we will decide what to do once she is awake. Maybe we will have to kill Esme after all. She was only really being kept alive to keep up appearances while we were in town.”

“You son of of bitch!!”Rosalie roared as she pulled out her sword, rushed to Edward and sliced off his legs. Before she could continue on she felt Isabella’s arms around her.

“My love you will regret if you end him so quickly. Think out your revenge don’t rush it.”Isabella told her.

Rosalie took a deep breath.”You’re right I will regret it.”

“You bitch!! I should have killed you that night!!”Edward should have taken Rosalie for himself and when he was done with her he should have drained her.

“Edward how could you!!”Angela couldn’t believe her mate would do such a thing.

“She should feel blessed that I left my seed inside her.”Edward said.

“What the hell bro?”Emmett knew Edward was a bastard but didn’t know he was this bad.

“Is there more?”Rosalie asked Isabella.

“The journals contain their disappointment that you don’t worship them and mentions of them spying on you while you were changing and at other private moments. I only kept those incase you wanted to see them later.”Isabella wanted Rosalie to have the chance to know everything the pair had done to her.

“What is the computer for?”Rosalie figured it had to do with her.

“Oh the computer contains a little movie I thought everyone would enjoy.”Isabella didn’t actually think Edward and Carlisle would enjoy it at all.

“I’m personally very interested in what this movie contains.”Athenodora hadn’t been told about the movie. A movie she knew was going to be in some way shocking.

“Well I won’t leave you in suspense.”Isabella hook up the computer to the projector she had set up in the throne room for the trial. When the movie started playing on the empty wall the room was filled with various reactions ranging from gasps of shock to gagging to at least two people throwing up.

“Are they watching me in the shower?”Rosalie asked as she watched Edward and Carlisle using their hands to pleasure each other while they were sitting in front of a computer monitor. The reason she thought they were watching her was because she heard a shower running and her voice singing.

“The pair had cameras set up all over your private spaces and recorded your every move. That ended when my cat first made contact as it removed all the cameras. With the information from the cat I set up cameras in their private spaces. This video is the least graphic I have of the things they do to each other.”Isabella had wanted to bleach her brain after going through all the footage. Footage she forced herself to watch to make sure Rosalie got her justice.

“Wait you two are gay for each other?”Emmett asked the pair.

“That movie is fake. Isabella created it herself.”Edward would never admit what he and Carlisle did together.

“I didn’t create this one nor did I create the ones that had you calling Carlisle daddy and him praising you for being such a good boy.”Isabella shivered just thinking about those ones.

“What the hell?”Alice hadn’t seen that coming at all.

“You two are sick.”Fran said.

“Am I even your mate?”Angela asked Edward.

“Unfortunately you are his mate. I believe the reason he hasn’t broken off his relationship with Carlisle since finding you is because they have bonded over their obsession with Rosalie and their want to posses her. It created some sick kind of bond between the two.”Didyme had seen obsession bond vampires before. It wasn’t a healthy bond though.

“I now understand why Carlisle and Edward have always felt so possessive around Rosalie. I thought it was just their want to control us but now I’m realizing it’s their want of Rosalie.”Jasper’s gift had always picked up on those feelings from Carlisle and Edward but he had brushed it off as them being controlling.

“Is there anything I can do to break the bond?”Angela didn’t want to be bonded to Edward anymore.

“You actually can do it rather painlessly because as a human you don’t feel it fully.”Sulpicia hoped the girl broke the bond.

“I would like to break the bond then.”Angela said.

“Angela you can’t break our bond!”Edward wouldn’t allow it.

“After everything you have done to Rosalie I can’t even stand the sight of you. Even the idea of touching you or you touching me makes me want to vomit. There is no way I am staying mated to a scumbag like you.”Angela turned her attention to the queens.”Your majesties will you please break the bond?”

“Heidi take the human and go break the bond. Afterwards send her home she isn’t a threat to us anymore.”Sulpicia didn’t think Angela deserved to be forced to become a vampire when she was losing her mate and after everything they went though the queen doubted Angela would say anything about vampires. No-one would believe her if she did.

“Bye guys.”Angela gave a wave to the Cullens and made her way out of the room with the vampire called Heidi glad to be away from Edward.

“Angela get back here right this instance!”Edward screamed.

“So that’s taken care of now all that’s left is Rosalie deciding what punishments Carlisle and Edward are going to get.”Athenodora was excited to see what the girl would do.

“Speaking of Carlisle. He has been rather quiet throughout this. Why is that Carlisle? Do you have no defense?”Didyme asked.

“My defense is I didn’t commit any crimes. Even if you have proof of my involvement in Rosalie’s turning what I did isn’t against the law and having the cameras is my right as a coven leader. So myself and Edward shouldn’t be punished at all.”Carlisle may have been guilty in the human world but not in the vampire world.

“You think we don’t have laws against rape of not only humans but vampires and shifters as well?”Sulpicia didn’t know why Carlisle would think that.

“There are human laws but no vampire laws.”Carlisle said.

“There may have been no laws when the Romanians were in charge but we have had laws against such a things since the beginning of our rule. As a matter of fact we punished all those who committed such offense on the enemy during the war very harshly.”Isabella was ruthless when it came to punishing sexual offenders as the crime was something that effected her life tremendously.”And with you just admitting your guilt Rosalie is owed her pick of punishments.”

“Give me back my legs and we can fight to the death.”Edward knew if it was between him and Rosalie he would walk away with his life.

“The choice is not yours boy.”Didyme was hoping Rosalie picked something dramatic. They hadn’t witnessed a good punishment since Isabella as her cat mauled the vampire who created newborns.

“I’ll start with Edward.”Rosalie knew what she was going to do to both men but wanted to start with the one who touched her.

“Let me know if you need help.”Isabella would happily join in Rosalie’s punishment.

“So just like the coward you are you aren’t going to face me in a fair fight.”Edward wasn’t surprised that Rosalie was afraid of him.

“You didn’t make it a fair fight the night of my turning why should I give you one now?”Rosalie didn’t wait for a reply as took her sword and sliced off Edward’s hands. She then slice his lower arms off at the elbow and finished by removing the rest from his shoulder’s causing the guards to drop his body to the ground.”Does anyone have a lighter?”

“Here you go.”Isabella handed Rosalie an antique lighter.

“Thanks.”Rosalie took the lighter than removed the rest of Edward’s pants and underwear.”I figure it would be a fitting ending for you to get your final wish of me on my knees in front of you.”

“Holy shit!”Athenodora exclaimed as she watched Rosalie kneel before Edward and light his penis on fire.

Emmett covered the front of his pants with his hands and winced.”Mental note don’t piss Rosalie off.”

“I think it was brilliant.”Isabella was enjoying the screams as Edward’s body burned. Rosalie was right it was fitting ending.

“Edward!”Carlisle couldn’t believe that his son was dead. He needed to keep it together though because his life was on the line now. He could mourn Edward later.

“What do you have planned for Carlisle?”Didyme had not been disappointed with Edward’s punishment and was looking forward to watching what Rosalie had planned for Carlisle.

“Do you think you could call Queenie in?”Rosalie asked.

“What do you need the cat for?”Isabella would leave and come back if the cat was really needed.

“I need her sharp claws for marking Carlisle’s skin.”Rosalie told her.

“You don’t need the cat for that. I can do it.”Isabella could easily mark a vampire’s skin.

“Can you hold him on the ground?”Rosalie asked the guards.

Carlisle struggled as the guards put him on the floor.”Now Rosalie I am your coven leader and your sire. I have always been good to you. Think about that before you do anything.”

“I thought about it and that’s why I’m not going to kill you.”Rosalie smirked when Carlisle sagged in relief.”You still are going to be punished though.”

“What do you want me to write and where?”Isabella was happy that Rosalie was involving her. She smiled brightly when Rosalie whispered her instructions in her ear.”I can do that.”

“Thank you.”Rosalie stepped aside to leave room for Isabella to straddle Carlisle. She watched in fascination as Isabella’s finger transformed into a claw and the woman began carving Carlisle’s forehead. Rosalie was positive that claw was identical to Queenie’s but quickly dismissed the thought. Isabella may not be a vampire but there was no way she moonlighted as a house cat. Even confirming that the formable woman could shift part of her body Rosalie doubted she would willingly live for a week and a half as Rosalie’s pet wearing a collar and the various outfits Rosalie and her siblings bought for it. Deciding to bring it up later Rosalie focused on Carlisle’s screaming.

“What is she writing?”Fran asked.

“I want it to be a surprise for Carlisle.”Rosalie didn’t want Carlisle to know until after he left the castle.

Isabella took a minute to look over her handy work then stood.”Done.”

“Now for the final part of your punishment.”Rosalie took her sword and sliced Carlisle’s pants and underwear off.

“Rosalie don’t do this. I love you. I have always loved. Even when you were human. You have always been the one for me. Don’t hurt me.”Carlisle pleaded.

“You don’t love me, you love yourself.”Rosalie didn’t wait for a reply before she sliced off his penis and testicles. His screaming was like music to her ears.”You can let him up now.”

Athenodora laughed when Carlisle was pulled to his feet and she caught sight of the words sex offender carved into his forehead.”Oh very good Rosalie.”

“I thought so myself.”Rosalie thought that was the perfect punishment for Carlisle. Death would have been to nice for him.

“Well since those two have been punished I guess we can wrap things up. Carlisle the guards are going to escort you out of the castle. Be warned if you cause anymore trouble we will call on Rosalie to punish you again.”Sulpicia figured Rosalie would pick the more severe punishment out of all of the queens.

“Thank you your majesty.”Carlisle made a move to grab his penis and testicles but was stropped by the guards.”I need my body parts.

“Sorry those body parts belong to Rosalie.”Athenodora told him.

“I almost forgot.”Rosalie took the lighter, knelt down again and lit Carlisle’s sliced off body parts on fire. Hearing Carlisle screaming and sobbing made her laugh.”You didn’t honestly think I would give them back did you?”

“How dare you do this to me!!”Carlisle was going to get back at Rosalie. He wasn’t sure how but he would do it. He just needed to reach out to his allies. That and get the rest of his children loyal to him again.”Come on everyone let’s go.”

“We aren’t going with you.”Jasper didn’t know why Carlisle would think that.

“I am your coven leader. Let’s go. Leave Rosalie here she’s no longer a member of this family.”Carlisle considered Rosalie the enemy and once he caught her he was going follow through on his original plan of keeping her chained to his bed.

“You’re delusional if you think we would go with you.”Fran said.

“And if anyone is no longer a part of this family it’s you not Rosalie.”Emmett told him.

“I will be waiting at our home in Forks for you to return.”Carlisle knew they would be back. They wouldn’t last a week without his guidance. It didn’t matter what resources they were given. They didn’t know how to survive in vampire society.

“Take him away and make sure he doesn’t come back.”Sulpicia ordered the guards.

“I wonder what he is going to do about his pants.”Alice didn’t know where Carlisle would be able to get another pair.

Didyme chuckled.”I honestly don’t think he noticed.”

“It’s true he was more keen on making the rest of the coven go with him than worrying about his own state.”Athenodora did enjoy watching him cry when Rosalie lit his small man bits on fire. It had her planning on asking Rosalie for her opinion about future punishments.

“So with that done what to do with the rest of you.”Isabella mused.

“I would like to get a chance to speak to you in private.”Rosalie wanted to talk to her mate.

“I will happily speak to you in private.”Isabella had no problem speaking to Rosalie.”As to the rest of you. Until the situation with me and Rosalie is settled I would recommend you not going back to Forks. Carlisle said he will be there and I am positive that he will act out. Especially after he finds out what I wrote on his forehead. Due to that I would like to invite you to hang around the castle until Rosalie makes a few decisions.”

“Will you guys stay?”Rosalie didn’t want to be separated from her siblings but she wanted to talk to Isabella.

Jasper shared a look with Alice.”We don’t have a problem staying for a few days.”

“Do you think I could spend some time on the training grounds?”Emmett asked.

“That won’t be a problem just be careful with your hands. My friend expects great things from you and you can’t be a good gamer with messed up hands.”Isabella didn’t want Emmett to ruin his chance to fulfill his dream.

“I want to thank you for that and everything else you did for us.”Fran knew saying thank you wouldn’t be enough but words were what she had to work with right then.

Isabella waved off the thanks.”You're Rosalie’s family. It’s my job to take care of you.”

“And to find out why that is I want to get started on our talk.”Rosalie said.

“You are all dismissed.”Sulpicia told the guards.”Cullens you may enjoy the castle just don’t go in the basement or the royal wing.”

“We won’t your majesty.”Alice wasn’t going to screw up a chance to have free rein of the castle.

“Isabella once you finish talking to Rosalie I expect you to come see me.”Athenodora wanted to know right away what was decided in regards to Rosalie’s living situation.

“Of course darling.”Isabella had already planned on seeking out Athenodora when she was done.

“Come see us after that.”Didyme wanted to get her chance to go riding before Isabella took off on another adventure.

“I will.”Isabella promised.”Come along Rosalie. We can go to the queen’s sitting room to have our talk.”

“See you guys later.”Rosalie told her siblings getting waves and murmurs of goodbyes in reply. Rosalie thought about how the day had gone while she walked next to Isabella through the castle. She would have never had thought that a day that started with her lounging in bed with her cat reading a book would end with Edward dead and Carlisle castrated with the words sex offender carved into his forehead. They both deserved what they got. Rosalie still hadn’t really absorbed their role in her turning. She was honestly not sure she wanted to. She was so focused on Isabella and their bond that she was pushing the feelings aside. It wasn’t a healthy way to deal with things Rosalie knew but it was the only way she could keep from falling apart. Something that would likely happen once she was alone with Isabella. Rosalie just hoped that Queenie was there as well because she would really like to hug her cat. That always made her feel better.
