Mortality.
"There coming, any minute now." The Cullen's and i gathered in the small room. The Volturi were coming. Alice saw them coming, they could walk through this door any second. My heart raced at that thought. None of us knew the reason they were coming. I think the Cullen's were just as anxious as i was. I feared the Volturi. My nightmares were filled with their faces.
"There here." Alice whispered nervously. I held my breath. With that Edward pulled me close to him, holding my hand in a tight grip.
"Dear Cullen's." I heard as Aro opened the door. "And Bella." He could probably hear my heart beating a hundred miles per hour. I was in panic mode. Aro extended his hand out towards Edward. Edward touch it quickly with he free hand and pulled back. Aro nodded.
"Just what i thought" What was Aro on about? He didn't make any sense to me. Edward nodded as well. His face blank with no emotion. I didn't like to see Edward this way. His posture was tense and defensive. His eyes were the same golden brown but they were harder. Frozen. I squeezed his hand, he relaxed and his eyes looked as if they melted.
"May i speak to you privately Edward?" He asked politely. Sadly Edward released my hand and walked out the door. Not once looking behind him. I turned to look at Carlisle for reassurance; he looked like what i was feeling. Utterly confused. His shoulders moved up and down slowly indicating he didn't know. I started to get worried then. Was Aro forcing Edward into his guard? Was Aro forcing him to change me? I didn't like not being in the loop. Especially if it was anything to do with Edward.
Silence was in the room. No one spoke or moved. All i could hear was my racing heart beat and deep breaths. My body straightened up when the large metal door opened. Edward walked in with the most cheesiest grin i had ever seen on his face. He looked so happy.
"It was lovely seeing you all again." He smiled at all of use individually and with that he left with his 5 guards.
I swivelled round to face Edward and find out what happened. "Aro has invited me to go to Volterra, too meet some of his new guard. A sort of business trip, i am leaving tonight. I will be back in a few days time." He looked at me with questioning eyes. Probably wondering on what my take was on this situation.
"Why did Aro invite you?" I asked. I didn't want to be away from Edward. Not now.
"One of his new guards has a very similar power to me; Aro wants me to train him. I will be back soon my love. I will call you. I promise." I felt like crying my eyes out. Edward looked as if he was really excited about this trip, i wouldn't want to take that excitement away from him. I nodded slowly.
"Ok." Was that all i could say? I didn't know what else to say to be honest, he ran up the Cullen's' staircase in eagerness. What had Aro said to him exactly?
