End of Chapter 33
"Welcome back Edward." Alec detto as he smiled at him. "You seem in a better mood."
"Marginally." Edward detto as he pulled Bella against his side.
Alec eyed Bella up and down then looked at Edward...confused about what he saw in her. "And this is the cause of all the trouble?"
"Patience." I yelled in my head to Edward.
Edward smiled slightly, a look of pure hate in his eyes.
"Dibs!!" Felix yelled behind both of us.
Edward turned as fast as he could, a growl building deep in his chest. Felix raised a hand and curled his fingers at Edward..as if he were saying 'bring it.'
I reached out, grabbing Edwards arm in my hand..shaking him quickly. "Patience." I cautioned him again as I stared at him.
"I'm going to kill him." Edward thought.
"After we get out of here alive...all of us I don't care what te do. He is just picking at te to get te to fight so they can kill us all. Think of Bella please." I thought...pleading with him, hoping that he would be able to get a grip before he got us all killed.
Chapter 34
"Aro will be so pleased to see te again." Alec said, a smile creeping on his face.
"Well, let's not keep him waiting." Jane detto as she took Alec's hand in hers and began walking down the hall.
I heard Bella groan quietly as Edward pulled her further down the hall, she was shivering so hard that I wondered if she could walk without help.
We walked about one hundred feet before Jane and Alec walked through large doors, disappearing into a large room.
"Here we go." I thought.
"How's the outlook?" Edward wondered as they stepped through the door.
I walked in behind them, taking my place on the other side of Bella before I closed my eyes. Nothing had changed since last time I looked, we still had three paths that we could go down. I didn't see anything changing until everyone knew we were here and heard our side of the story.
I opened my eyes and looked around the room, it was a good sized room, perfectly round like a bowl. There was three thrones against the far wall, a few windows near the superiore, in alto of the room that let in enough light to light the entire room with only a few shadows for someone to hide in.
There was a group of 'people' standing against one of the walls, having a conversation quietly when they heard us enter the room. One of them, a very old vampire in a long black mantello and equally dark long hair floated over in our direction.
"Jane, dear one, you've returned!" He cried as he took her face in his old hands and kissed her on the lips...it was disturbing.
"Yes, Master." She detto as she smiled up at him. "I brought him back alive, just as te wished."
"Ah, Jane. te are such a comfort to me." He detto as he smiled at her again.
Suddenly as if he just noticed us standing there, he turned and looked at each of us..his eyes lingering on Bella for a secondo longer then Edward and I. I knew that Edward noticed because he pulled her closer to his side, pulling me along as well.
"And Alice and Bella, too!" He detto as he clapped his hands like a small child. "This IS a happy surprise!! Just WONDERFUL!"
"How does he know me?" I thought at Edward, disturbed that he detto our names as if we were long friends.
"I can't explain now, please forgive me." Edward thought.
"Felix, be a dear and tell my brothers about our company. I'm sure they wouldn't want to miss this." Aro detto as he smiled at the tall guard.
I knew there was più to that conversation then I was suppose to get. He knew that there was a chance we wouldn't be leaving..and there was a human in the room. He didn't want his brothers to miss all the fun.
"Yes, Master." Felix detto as he bowed and left the room.
"You see, Edward." He said, the tone of someone who truly cared and knew my brother. "What did I tell you? Aren't te glad that I didn't give te what te wanted yesterday?"
"Yes, Aro, I am." Edward detto as he gripped Bella's waist.
"I Amore a happy ending." He sighed. "They are so rare. But I want the whole story. How did this happen? Alice?" He detto as he looked right at me. Did he expect me to just answer him? I was confused da everything that was going on.
"Patience Alice." Edward thought.
"Your brother seemed to think te infallible, but apparently there was some mistake." He continued.
"Oh, I'm far from infallible." I detto as I smiled up at him. "As te can see today, I cause problems as often as I cure them."
"You're too modest, I've seen some of your più amazing exploits, and I mist admit I've never observed anything like your talent. Wonderful!" He detto as he smiled at a memory.
I glared at Edward. "What did te tell him everything I can do..have done?" I thought.
"I'm sorry, we haven't been introduced properly at all have we? It's just felt like I know te already, and I tend to get ahead of myself. Your brother introduced us yesterday, in a particular way. te see, I share some of your brothers talent, only I am limited in a way that he is not." Aro detto as he shook his head in what could be jealousy.
I looked to Edward again, my eyebrows raising in surprise.
"And also exponentially più powerfully." Edward said..his tone bitter. He looked right at me as he continued to explain himself. "Aro needs physical contact to hear your thoughts, but he hears much più then I do. te know I can only hear what's passing through your head in that moment. Aro hears every thought your mind had ever had."
I tilted my head as I looked at him, he inclined his head towards Bella.
"Here is our first choice." I detto silently to Edward.
He nodded slightly. Aro did not miss a secondo of this, but did not understand at the same time.
"But to be able to hear from a distance...that would be so convenient." Aro sighed.
Suddenly I heard the sound of feet shuffling as they entered the room. Everyone turned at once, except for Bella who only turned when she noticed our heads turning.
Two più black robed men entered the room, there ages were astonishing. I couldn't imagine living that long..but I also never imagined myself in the tana, den of the Volturi.
"Marcus, Caius, look!" Aro detto as he motioned to us. "Bella is alive after all, and Alice is here with her. Isn't this wonderful?"
Neither of them looked impressed that we were in the room, in fact they both looked annoyed that they were made to come here at all. Aro didn't seem to notice their foul moods, in fact he seemed even più excited now then he was before they entered.
"Let us have the story." Aro detto as he turned to the others.
The elder with the black hair came to stand successivo to Aro, taking his hand. It only took a few secondi before Aro dropped his hand and raised his eyebrows.
"What was that?" I thought.
"Thank te Marcus." Aro said. "That was quite interesting."
I looked at Edward, confusion in my eyes...and anger and sadness in his.
"What is going on Edward?" I thought.
Bella looked at him at the same second, the look on her face was much like mine. She didn't understand what was going on, and was already scared..she didn't need to be left out on top.
Edward turned slightly to face both of us. "Marcus sees relationships. He's surprised da the intensity of ours." He explained.
I took a deep breath, shaking my head as I thought of the repercussions from this. Would they want to kill Bella even più now that they knew there was a bond there that if broken would kill Edward? Would they use her against us so that we would unisciti their 'group?'
I was afraid, the choices were laid out in front of us...just waiting for our feet to meet the trail.
