As the week went by, my days became dimmer by the second. I believed in my heart that I would soon be with Jacob again, but my head continued to make me think logical. Once again, my head's fight to control my heart continued.
Nothing was the same without Jacob around. He was the sunshine on the darkest and gloomiest of days. The reason I wanted to awake every morning. Without him here, my life is like total darkness.
We're planning to leave tomorrow for Italy. "I just know that he is there!" my heart continues to tell me. At that point my head tries to take over. "There's also that chance that he is already dead."
Leah and Nahuel took me home that day after finding the letter. I read and reread it many times during the ride home.
Yes, Jane was there. But not alone. And she was not expected.
The Volturi has been creating plans to make me join them ever since they discovered how unique I was, being half human/ half vampire and having special abilities. This was their way of drawing me to them. Taking away from me the one thing they knew I would follow after, no matter what.
Jacob.
There cruel and twisted ways would only stop on one of two conditions:
I joined them. I would probably never see Jacob again, and we would never be married, but at least he would be safe.
OR
One of us had to die. Either I or them.
Both of the choices would make for a hard decision, but something had to be done. I had to save Jacob, one way or another.
