Chapter 1
Edward was my love, my life, and my soul; but he took that all away from me when he left. I mourned for months and I sought comfort in Jacob, but even that was enough. Alice returned and we raced to Volturi to stop Edward from killing himself and it worked. The only thing is I have to be turned into a vampire. I know that I always complain to Edward to turn me, but that was always just a cover. I didn't think that one encounter with the Volturi was going to affect things. It was already bad enough that we hadn't killed Valentine yet, and I have to act all defenseless and be all 'Edward save me' every time a baddy tries to kill me. Well… ANYWAY, enough with this useless prologue lets get to the story shall we?
"Bella!" Alice's shrillish voice never got tiring. I watched her as she glided across the floor to stand at my side. "We're going shopping." I rolled my eyes. Last time she took me shopping Charlie almost had a heart attack when he saw it.
"No," I retorted. I walked up the stairs to Edward's bedroom; actually it was just his room. He didn't sleep. I turned the knob to see Edward lying on the bed listening to our last school concert before graduation. "Admiring our high schools fine orchestra?" I chuckled. I knew how much Edward hated our composer for choosing to play Viva La Vida. He thinks we should've play Debussy or Mozart instead of some recent fad in the music industry. I really hate having to lie to him, to shield my mind so he doesn't know my… life, I thought. I slid my hand across his desk. It was spread with music he'd recently written and pictures of me. He changed his position, angling himself to see my eyes.
"No, actually I was critiquing it." He ran his finger gently across my face, planting them onto my lips.
"And…?" I said as he brushed his lips against mine.
"Trash," he muttered. My phone rang, just as I was getting into it. Damn, such an awful timing.
"Hello?"
"Clary?"
"Jace?"
"CLAREBEARR!" Jace shouted. He'd gone ballistic just by hearing my voice. "I've been trying to get a hold of you when's our next date, hmmm?" He said, in an attempt to be sexy voice.
"When are you coming to Forks?" I asked, trying to seem like I didn't hear his question.
"Well, there been complaints of a vampire killing spree, by other downworlders, so were just about rapping up here. I'll be at the Cullen's place in twenty minutes."
My mouth dropped open. I knew Church was watching me. I just didn't say anything cause Edward was always with me. Oh shit. Edward. I completely forgot that Edward was right next to me. I turned to see his face. It was just as stunned as mine. "I can't wait!" I faked the enthusiasm, but Jace probably already knew that. "See ya then."
"You told?" His expression quickly changed to puzzlement. I would've thought he was angry. "Dammit and he knows that the vampires are us? And your 'dating' him." He slurred his word as if he couldn't get them out fast enough. " I trusted you Bella."
"No… Edward I didn't, you have to understand.."
"No, you owe my family an explanation to, because they're involved too now."
