HEY EVERYONE I KNOW IT HAS BEEN OVER A WEEK SINCE MY LAST UPDATE BUT I PROMISE TO UPDATE AGAIN SOON. ALSO ONE OF MY VERY AMAZING READERS LanaLee1 HAS GIVEN ME A REALLY GOOD IDEA FOR ROSALIE'S PUNISHMENT AND AGREAD TO WRITE THAT SECTION OF THE CHAPTER SO I HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE THIS CHAPTER AS MUCH AS I DO.
CHAPTER 20 ROSALIE'S TRAIL
EMMETT'S POV
My head is pounding from all the alcohol that I had drunk yesterday I think I over did it a little bit. I didn't know a vampire could drink but drinking did help me forget how Rose was locked up in a cold dirty dungeon instead of having fun with the rest of the family. Right now my family and I were in the throne room waiting for them to bring in Rose so that her trail can begin.
Rosalie is the love of my life she is my soul mate and I love her with all of my being but sometimes she overreacts and goes a little crazy on people and her attitude isn't always the best so I'm not really surprised that she got in trouble. I knew coming here wasn't a good idea because of all the mixed feelings Rosalie has towards the triplets and Bella she really does love the triplets an considers them family but since they are technically 3 she still wants them to act like little kids and she just cant accept that they are grown adults that have a life of their own.
Rosalie has always wanted children and when she found out that Edward and Bella were able to conceive not only one child but three she didn't take it well and it didn't help that the triplets didn't like her or most of our family, when Jason started to warm up to me I could tell that she didn't like that he was accepting me and not her it seemed the closer I got to the triplets the more distant she became with me. I know Rose may seem a like a cold heartless bitch most of the time but she isn't always like that with me she is one of the sweetest most loving caring person that I know and I don't know why she doesn't let other people besides me see that, the rest of the family gets to see glimpses of that side of Rosalie but it never lasts once she realizes it she automatically puts her walls back up. I know her behavior and attitude has a lot to do with the things she went through when she was human but she doesn't like to talk about it and I don't like hutting her by asking her about it.
I know what she did yesterday wasn't right that she crossed a line but I don't want her to die because of it I don't know what I would do without her in my life, I have the rest of my family but Rosalie is my mate and a life without her isn't a life I want to live so if she is sentenced to death I will ask them to kill me as well.
BELLA'S POV
Today was going to be a very long day Rosalie's trail was today and a lot of the covens had chosen to stay after the party just to witness the trail so we had at least 50 people plus some of the higher level guard in attendance today. Lets not forget how the rest of the Cullens were at the very front with a very sad and distraught looking Emmett and seeing Happy fun loving Emmett sad is just wrong I don't like to see him like that and I feel really bad that there is a 50/50 chance that his wife will be killed within the hour. I know that the kids may not be on great terms with her I'm not even on good terms with her but just like me they don't want to see her get killed, we know how much pain that would bring to Emmett and the rest of our family and none of us want to be responsible for causing our family that kind of pain. Since the kids and I are royals we do have a say in what happens today but Aro is the one who ultimately makes the decision. I know that Carlisle's is hoping for the best possible outcome specially after his talk with Aro but things here are never set in stone and decisions made beforehand are not always what we end up going with so I hope he doesn't get his hopes up because there is a very good chance that Rosalie will die. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous about how this was going to affect the new relationship that the kids and I were forming with the Cullen's but this is our job and we may not like having control over one of our family members lives but we have a duty to the volturi Rosalie put herself in this situation and we will all do our part in making sure she gets a fair trail but at the same time pays for her actions.
ROSALIE'S POV
Today was the day. I've been cooped up in the Guard's Barracks without any contact with Emmett or my family. I am so frustrated as I still don't understand what I did that was so wrong and I don't understand why it is punishable by death. Seems silly to me. At least, they sent me some clothes and allowed me to bathe. They'll be here to escort me to my fate in a few minutes. I know I have to keep my mouth shut or die but all I really want to do is tell them to all to go to hell!
There's a knock at the door and Jane, Alec and Demetri are here all Jane says to me is "It's time" in cold voice she motions for me to step out of the cell and then the three of them escort me to the throne room.
I know that they would all love to see me beg for my life but if it comes down to that I will die in silence so that I don't give Jane or anyone else the satisfaction of seeing me beg if I'm going to die I'm going to die with my dignity.
JANE'S POV
Damn it to the God's because we got stuck dealing with this stupid bitch. All I want to see is her squirming on the floor in pain. I am sure Alec and Demetri feel the same way. Stupid Uniformed Careless Cullen's. I knock and open the door, not waiting for her to answer. "It's time", I say and we're off to the to the throne room.
When we arrive, we escort Rosalie to the center of the throne room and retire to our assigned places, then we wait for the show to begin. I really hope she dies or that I at least get to torture her.
ARO'S POV
I can tell this isn't going to be easy there are a lot of people here who want Rosalie dead for what she did, others who want her to get a second chance and there are some who didn't pick a side and are just here to see how we deal with her to see if we give her special treatment because she is related to the triplets and this is a unique situation so I'm not surprised at the size of our audience.
Once Jane brings Rosalie in and everyone quiets down I rise from my throne and greet Rosalie with a "Good morning, Rosalie". She nods her head and says nothing, stupid, ignorant girl. We're going to remedy that issue very soon. The first thing I do is move forward and take her hand to read her memories. I'm furious. She doesn't have a clue regard our laws and doesn't believe she has done anything wrong! I return to my throne after taking my brother's hands and they take the triplets and Bella's so that I can show them what I've seen. Caius roars as expected Marcus is mad but doesn't let it show and the triplets and Bella just seem very sad and disappointed it seemed they expected more from her. It's a good thing we had all gotten together before hand and had a plan in place for her punishment or she would be dead and gone in this minute.
CARLISLE'S POV
We were all very nervous as we waited for the trail to begin, I never imagined my family was ever going to be in this predicament I had talked to Aro before the trial but I still don't know what has been decided but I trusted that Bella wouldn't let Rosalie die I know they weren't the best of friends but she and the triplets cared enough about Emmet to not hurt him like that. When Aro went up to Rosalie and read her mind I could see that he was getting angrier by the second and that's when I think we all started to really fear for her life. I looked over at Edward for some kind of reassurance that everything was going to be ok but he wouldn't look me in the eye and Alice was just looking forward expressionless you could tell she was still mad at Rosalie for what happened yesterday. When Aro walked back to his throne and took Caius and Marcus hands and then they took the triplets and Bella's you could see the different emotions playing on their faces as they saw what Aro had seen. Caius was beyond Angry and like always Marcus kept a poker face but you could see the sadness and disappointment on Bella and the triplet's faces and seeing this made me fear for the worst I could almost guarantee that the next words that were going to come out of Aro's mouth were gong to rip may family apart.
After all the volturi Royals had calmed down and were seated again Aro began to explain the Rosalie's punishment.
"Rosalie Hale McCarty Cullen, you're charged with high treason against the Volturi Royal Family for the insults and grief you have caused four members of the Royal household and their spouses and family. In addition, you caused grave pain to the Royal family and their spouses by your actions as well as a complete disruption of the triplets Birthday Party.
You have been spared until trial as a consideration to your sire for which we hold great respect. In addition, we have heard his petition that we spared your life because of your ignorance to the laws of our world. Your sire, Carlisle Cullen, has accepted for himself and his coven 100 years of service to the Volturi for his failure to teach his coven Volturi Law. Because of his request and compliance you are not sentenced to immediate death.
Your sentence however is not a moderate one. Do you willing accept our decision as to your fate and give us your compliance and loyalty to accept and complete all phases of this punishment.
Rosalie's soft reply is "I do so swear". She knows she has no choice but is still resentful of her punishment. This is going to be a painful journey for all of us.
Because you have agreed to accept our decision, we sentence you to complete each task we the Volturi Royals have agreed to impose. You must complete all tasks willingly and with an attitude that convinces us of your willingness to accept and comply with everything assigned.
Your sentence includes:
1. Completion of general guard training to learn obedience and humility. You must graduate with honors. Term to complete is two years.
2. You are further required to serve as maid and chef to the Swan Triplets and their Mother, Isabella. You will clean as they direct and prepare three meals and snacks as requested and do all kitchen cleaning after meals. You must complete this task without complaint and with humility and gratitude. Term for this task is ten years.
3. You will work in the Volturi Blood Bank as directed for the length or your term with the Volturi.
4. You will attend Volturi charm school to learn appropriate etiquette and appropriate behavior of a female vampire. Again you must complete this task with honors. Course term is two years.
5. Completion of all courses offered in Volturi Law. At the end of successful completion of this punishment you will receive a Law degree. This punishment's purpose is to teach you acceptable behavior in the vampire and human world and improve your sense of accomplishment and self esteem. Term is five years.
6. To teach you compassion, you will serve ten years at the Volturi Orphanage caring for various children and teaching children of all ages how to succeed in the real world. Your term is ten years and you may continue working at the orphanage for a longer period if you so desire. It is hoped this punishment will teach you to be less judgmental of situations for which you have no knowledge of the circumstances.
In addition you will work with the other Volturi charitable activities as assigned by the three kings and the rest of the Royal family.
7. Further, you will not be allowed to shop for yourself or dress in the style you are accustomed until all punishments are completed to our satisfaction.
8. You will be assigned quarters and are allowed share these quarters with your mate and to spend your time off with him if he so desires. You will adhere to all mating rules required for a female vampire. You will also be allowed to visit with your coven one hour per week.
9. You have been assigned a mentor, King Marcus Volturi, and you will meet with him weekly for a progress evaluation. You may also request time with him if there is something you do not understand, are having difficulty with completing or to talk over your feelings. These meetings are at his discretion and not at yours. Any disciplinary taken will be taken will be administered by him.
10. King Marcus will compete progress reports monthly. These will be reviewed by all the of the Royal family and any disciplinary actions or praise will be administered in the throne room with the entire guard present.
11. You must be respectful to everyone at all times. A sarcastic mouth will not be tolerated!
12. You will serve your punishment and serve the Volturi for a total of 50 years after that you will need to serve in the guard like the rest of your family for the last 50 years of your coven's punishment.
Do you willing accept the terms and conditions of all punishments? Non acceptance will result in immediate and final death.
Rosalie is completely overwhelmed but replies, "I willingly accept my punishments."
"Rosalie, I believe that once you successfully complete your many tasks, you will be a better person and hopefully a happier one. You're dismissed to your new quarters. Emmett, you may accompany her if you wish. Jane, Alec and Demetri will accompany you, give you instructions for today and you will begin your punishment tomorrow. If you need guidance please consult King Marcus." Aro instructs. With that Rosalie, Emmett and their escort leave the throne room. Then everyone else starts to leave as well.
I'm so happy that Rosalie isn't dead and my family isn't going to be broken that I don't notice the shock and anger on my family's faces after hearing that we had to serve the volturi for a century.
