Silver Assassin 27

“That was incredible.”Kate said to the group sitting in the royal box in the arena that consisted of the kings, queens, the entire Denali coven and Rosalie. Jane had walked Bella back to the locker room to wait for her fight. Rosalie wanted to go with them but worried that Carlisle might somehow see her and that would end up horrible. Rosalie did have to agree with Kate the fight against the guards had been incredible. They were definitely skilled. It made Rosalie realize that she had a long way to go to be at the caliber to be a member of the guard. Then again the vampires that fought to earn a place weren’t the greatest. Their skills didn’t even compare to the guards that fought and based on what was said the guards that fought were some off the best. So maybe Rosalie wouldn’t have to worry to much about her skill. Plus Bella had promised to train with her regularly and with the Silver Assassin teaching her Rosalie had no doubt she would improve quickly. After one session she had already seen results.

“It really was.”Rosalie said.

“I wasn’t very impressed with the first 6 matches.”Athenodora expected a better showing from the vampires auditioning.

“They were likely extremely nervous being in front of the large crowd because they were a lot better when I first saw their skills.”Caius had wished they had preformed better.

“It is a large crowd.”Aro was very happy with the turn out for the event. Most of their most powerful allies were in attendance and Aro was looking forward to seeing their reactions to Bella’s fight.

Rosalie perked up when Jane joined the group wearing a purple robe, taking a seat in the chair left open between Didyme and Rosalie. Rosalie was wearing a purple robe as well. She had been getting many looks from the various people in the castle but it didn’t bother her. She was proud of the fact that she had such a visible link to Bella.”How is Bella?”

“Excited. I had to remind her that she needed to wait until the fight was called before she went after them.”Jane told her.

“I hope she waits.”Athenodora wanted to see Bella kill the Cullens.

“I made sure to reiterate to her that not only would I be disappointed if I didn’t get to see her fight them but all of you would as well. She seemed to be focusing on that when I left her.”Jane wasn’t to worried about Bella waiting. She wouldn’t do anything for fear of disappointing her family and friends.

“Well she won’t have to wait any longer.”Sulpicia said when the guards finished repairing the arena floor and collecting the losing vampire’s limbs.

“That’s my queue.”Aro stood from his seat, picked up the microphone in front of him, turned it on and cleared his throat to get the crowds attention.”Now is time for the main event. The Silver Assassin will be delivering the punishment to members of the former Cullen coven for the crimes of facilitating two false mate claims and twice revealing the existence of vampires to a human and not changing or killing them. The punishment will be a fight to the death. With that said bring in the prisoners.”

“What the hell?!”Rosalie wasn’t sure what was going on or why all the former members of her coven were all dressed up like Roman gladiators. They even had helmets and weapons from the time period.

Kate laughed at the sight.”That is so awesome.”

“It’s a nice touch.”Irina thought it was fitting to put the Cullens in costumes to further embarrass them.

“They don’t look scared.”Athenodora said.

Didyme scowled seeing the look of defiance and confidence each law breaker wore on their faces.”They likely think Bella is going to let them go.”

“I’d kill them myself before I let that happen.”Marcus wasn’t going to let the Cullens do anything to convince Bella to let them go.

“She wouldn’t anyway and if they did try to get her to it would just piss her off more.”Jane knew that Bella wouldn’t fall for any of the Cullen’s tricks.

Aro ignored the conversation and addressed the crowd again.”Without further ado I am proud to introduce their challenger the Silver Assassin.”

“Shit.”Rosalie was taken aback when Bella appeared in the arena. She hadn’t seen what Bella was going to wear and was now happy she didn’t because if she had Rosalie most likely would have dragged her off to their bedroom and kept her there for hours. Bella was dressed in her signature purple robe but this one had various designs embroidered in what looked like threads of real silver. The back was decorated with a large Volturi crest. The robe was tighter than Bella’s usual one and showed off the shape of her body a lot more. The mask she wore was decorated in what Rosalie was sure were real jewels and diamonds inlaid with gold designs. The entire look was finished off with a pair of high heel boots that Rosalie was impressed Bella would even attempt to fight in. All together Rosalie thought Bella looked very dangerous and incredibly sexy. So sexy that Rosalie had to remind herself that they were in a very crowded arena so she didn’t rush to Bella and take her in front of everyone.

“She looks great.”Tanya said.

“It was a fight to get her to agree to wear the outfit but I’m pleased that she did.”Didyme had to bribe Bella with the promise of no royal duties for a month to get her agree.

“Competitors take your positions.”Aro ordered causing the guards to push the Cullens away from them and race out of the arena. Once they were gone Aro shouted.”Begin!!”

“Here we go.”Kate leaned forward in her chair making sure she could get the best view.

“Bella don’t do this. With our help you can kill the royals and all the guards for what they have done to you.”Carlisle told Bella.

Irina winced when in reply Carlisle went flying through the air and slammed into the wall. Bella hadn’t even touched him.”That had to hurt.”

“I guess she has decided to play with her shield.”Athenodora was very excited to see what creative way Bella was going to punish the group.

“We haver another taker.”Kate said as she Esme put her hands up and tried to approach Bella.

“Bella we love you. I love you. You’re my daughter. There is no way you want to hurt me.”Esme said.

Didyme made a move to go after Esme herself but before she could Esme was suspended in the air spread eagle. The queen watched as Bella made slicing motions with hands that resulted in Esme’s arms and legs to start falling to the ground into a pile of small slices. The sight made Didyme shiver.”That’s new.”

“She hasn’t done that before?”Rosalie thought it was a fitting punishment because of how painful it looked.

Jane shook her head.”She has never sliced anybody with her shield. I didn’t even know it was possible.”

“It looks like Alice is going to try next.”Tanya didn’t think Alice was going to have much luck.

“Bella look Edward is here. Join us and we can leave all this behind and live peacefully as a happy family just like we did before.”Alice said.

“Yeah that’s not going to work.”Kate was proven right when as soon as Alice finished speaking Bella moved. Kate had trouble keeping track off where she went but could easily see the results of what she did when she finallyl stopped. Those results being Alice’s jaw ripped off her face.”I guess that’s one way to shut her up.”

“I didn’t know a vampire could do that.”Irina had never even heard of it being attempted.

“She used her shield to do it.”Jane told her.

“It seems Jasper is finally realizing Bella is a threat.”Sulpicia had seen the boy hanging in the background but as soon as Bella hurt his mate he attacked. He was no match for Bella who blocked every one of his moves until she seemed to get bored and pinned him to the ground where she straddled his chest and pummeled his face.

“Bella watch out.”Rosalie called out when she noticed Carlisle and Edward rush to ambush Bella. She shouldn’t have been worried because as they got close they were flung backwards by an invisible barrier.

“Don’t worry Bella’s got this. Nothing is going to physically happen to her.”Emotionally was a whole other issue that Jane was preparing to deal with when the fight was over.

“Two down.”Athenodora said as she watched Bella rip Jasper’s head off. She happily caught the head that was thrown to her from Bella. The queen stood on her chair and held Jasper’s head up showing it to the crowd who all cheered in response.

“Sit down Dora.”Didyme pulled on her sister’s leg to get her to sit down.”You are making a fool of yourself.”

“I think she is brilliant.”Aro loved the way that Athenodora was getting the crowd riled up.

“You would.”Marcus said.

“I think Alice just noticed Jasper is headless.”Tanya didn’t know what exactly Alice’s plan was but charging at Bella with her arms swinging in an uncoordinated manor was not a good one in Tanya’s opinion. Proof of that being Bella jumping in the air and kicking Alice’s head right off her shoulders sending it flying into the crowd and her body dropping to the floor. Tanya thought that was a fitting ending for the mated pair for both of them having their heads end up in the crowd. Although unlike Jasper’s Alice’s head was being passed around. Tanya wondered if the royals would eventually collect it.

“There is just Carlisle and Edward.”Rosalie wondered what Bella was going to do to them.

“They have been whispering to each other since Alice attacked. They had to have come up with some kind of plan.”Jane didn’t think it would make a difference. If anything it would cause Bella to hurt them more.

“We are about to find out what that was.”Irina watched the pair go to opposite sides of the arena with Bella in the middle. She wasn’t sure exactly what they were trying to achieve by being in those positions because as soon as they both moved Bella ran towards Carlisle, jumped on his shoulders and twisted off his head before Edward even made it half way to were Bella was.”She is really fast.”

“She is the fastest vampire we have ever encountered.”Didyme told her.

“And now there is one.”Kate was on the edge of her seat. She couldn’t wait to see what Bella had planned for Edward after seeing everything she done to the others.”What is she going to do?”

“I don’t know.”Jane had been told Bella had a plan and that she had thought everything out but not the details.

“I don’t either.”Rosalie had asked but Bella said it was a surprise.

“Here we go!”Athenodora shook Jasper’s head in excitement as she waited for Bella to make her move.

“Bella my love. It’s alright. I forgive you for what you did to the others. They were weak. But you and I are strong. Together we can rule the world and no one can stop us. All you have…”Was all Edward got out before he was suspended in the air spread eagle.

“She isn’t just going to take his head and be done with it is she?”Caius would be extremely disappointed if that’s what happened.

Aro shook his head.”No way that will happen as a matter of fact I think you should watch closely brother because the Silver Assassin is about to become a god in the eyes of everyone watching.”

“You think she is going to do something that extreme?”Rosalie asked.

“I think that Bella is going to leave everyone here speechless.”Aro predicted that many were going to swear their allegiance to the kings after the event was over.

“Shhhh she approaching him.”Athenodora didn’t any distractions. She watched Bella take off her glove and touch Edward’s face. They of course didn’t know what Bella said but whatever it was caused Edward’s eyes to widen in fear. Bella stepped away from him as Edward started floating up towards the ceiling stopping when his body could be seen from every seat in the arena.”What is she doing?”

“Don’t worry.”Aro kew that they were about to witness something spectacular. He was proven right when Edward’s body began splintering.

“She’s crushing him with her shield?”Jane didn’t think that was too big of a punishment. She was proven wrong when instead of stopping when Edward’s body was covered in large cracks Bella kept going. Jane watched as the cracks got bigger turning into chunks. Even Edward skull had collapsed in on itself. Jane didn’t know what Bella was trying to achieve until the chucks and pieces of the skull turned into a fine dust. Jane stared at her mate in shock at what she just achieved.

Aro smiled when the crowded went silent as everyone seemed to be trying to absorb the implications of what they just witnessed. Taking the microphone he addressed the crowd.”Ladies and gentlemen you’re winner the Silver Assassin.”

“What did we just watch?”Tanya asked.

“We watched the impossible happen. A vampire just crushed another vampire into dust without even lifting a finger.”Irina was extremely happy that they had befriended Bella after seeing that performance.

“That was fucking awesome.”Kate wanted to see what else Bella could crush with her shield.

“Dora give the head to the guards and have them make sure to burn all their parts. I don’t know where Alice’s head went.”Sulpicia had lost it in the crowd.

“I think Bella is taking care of that.”Athenodora pointed to Bella who had just finished lighting the Edward dust on fire and had moved to a screaming Esme.

“Then toss her the head and have the guards find Alice’s.”Sulpicia didn’t want someone leaving the castle with it.

“I was going to keep the head as a trophy but alas I doubt Bella would like that.”Athenodora looked the head over sadly before chucking it at Bella. Bella didn’t even look up she just held her arm out and caught it in one hand.

“So what happens now?”Rosalie asked.

“Well my dear that depends on you. No longer are you held back by your sire or the rest of your coven. Never again with you have to worry about any repercussions from them. Knowing all that I think I would use that new found freedom to finally live my life the way I want to. Of course you will have limitations due to your connection to Bella but mostly your life is your own now. It’s up to you what happens.”Didyme told her.

“I don’t know what to do.”Rosalie hadn’t really made plans for what would happen when her coven was dead. It seemed like a dream that wouldn’t ever come true. Even when she was told about the event she still couldn’t fully comprehend that she would be free.

“Well you don’t have to decide today but I do suggest we celebrate. I’m not sure what Bella has planned but since everyone has been burned and she hasn’t taken off yet I doubt that she is going to lock herself in her room. So why don’t we all meet up with her and then we can plan something together.”Jane suggested.

“That sounds fun.”Kate wanted a chance to ask Bella about what she did during the fight.

“We're in.”Tanya agreed.

“You know I’m in.”Rosalie would away pick being with her mate.

“We have dignitaries we need to speak to but once we are done we will send for Bella. We would like to speak to her.”Didyme wanted to see how her daughter was feeling.

“I’ll let her know.’Jane said.”Come along everyone I want to catch Bella before she has a chance to run off.”

“I hope she wants to spend time with us.”Rosalie would like to see her mate after everything that just happened. She wanted to thank Bella for saving her from the Cullens. She really wished that she could drag her to their shared bedroom and show how much she appreciated her but it seemed like Jane wanted to spend time with Bella as well. With Rosalie and Jane not comfortable having sex in front of other people even each other that wasn’t going happen. Rosalie wasn’t going to push the issue because it was only fair after something so monumental happening in Bella’s life that she would want her mates with her. Rosalie had a feeling that she was going to have to share Bella with the royals for a while as well. It was going to be torture waiting to get Bella alone but she would wait. Until then she would spend the time planning all of the things she wanted to do to Bella and that she wanted Bella to do to her when they got naked.
