Just a few things before you continue to read: I totally forgot to add the fact that Aro and Althea did have sex in the last book, so let's pretend I wrote that in. Also in the first chapter of this book I said she'd been gone for 6 months, it's actually 3 months.

THIRD POV
"Get up! Get up!"
The voices were loud as they screamed. They hissed in anger. She was too slow to wake up and it angered them more. But how could she? After the previous nights, making her fight against them she was tired. She was cut up and bruised like never before.
They gave up and grabbed her by her shoulders making her grunt. They dragged her into a different room where they made her kneel in the middle of the coven.
"Why am I here. I can't fight anymore", she said under her breath. Talking hurt, breathing hurt.
"Shut up! You speak when you're spoken to", said Vladimir.
"You're here for questioning. For your sake and your little ones, I would suggest you answer". She nods, trying her best to even her breathing.
"We know your sister is Bella Swan. Are you apart of the Cullens", her eyes widen when he mentions her sister. She was quick to shake her head no, "N-no. I haven't talked to them in months".
He nods, "Are the Cullens in alliance with the Volturi".
She shakes her head no again, "I don't know. No." He gives her a look, "Are you sure? Because last we checked the Cullens are in Italy"
Her heart raced, what were they doing there..
Vladimir heard her heartbeat spike up and walked towards her, "I don't believe you. Are they with the Volturi!" She shakes her head again. "I don't know!"

He hisses and slaps her making her head jerk to the side. She sobbed at him splitting her lip. "I don't know anything, I've been here since you took me", she sobbed out.
He looked at her before walking back. "We heard the guard received some new members, members with powers beyond our understanding. Who are they", asked Stefan.
She shrugs as she shifts on the hard ground, one hand under her belly. "I don't know"
Stefan growls, "See, we don't believe that. You're telling us that you're supposed to be their queen, their mate — and yet you know nothing? Bullshit". He nods at two of the guys behind her making them smile as they each grabbed an arm.
