-1A/N: I am starting a series of 'what if stories?' This is the first one, set during New Moon. What if the Volturi hadn't been so nice to Bella, Edward and Alice? I will try to do a range of different stories, any suggestions review or PM me.
"Edward! Move!" I shrieked, dashing across the square. He was standing at the doorway of a large building. I needed to get to him!
I darted through the fountain, praying I wouldn't trip. I catapulted into him. Ow, that hurt! I'd forgotten just how solid he was.
"Edward! You have to move!" I said, trying to push him back into the shadows. He complied, pulling me under cover.
"Bella! Carlisle was right. There is a heaven, or maybe this is hell. But I'll take it" he said, inhaling my scent.
"I'm here Edward! I'm real!"
"Death that hath sucked the honey of thy breath has had no effect upon thy beauty" he whispered into my neck.
"Edward! Listen to me! I'M NOT DEAD!" I said. He looked at me, eyes widening.
"Bella! Bella, you're alive?"
"Yes! What where you think Edward? Going to get yourself killed? How could you?" I yelled at him.
"Bella, I couldn't face the idea of a world where you didn't exist…" he cut off, head jerking upwards, looking down the hallway into the darkness. He pushed me behind him as two cloaked figures emerged from the shadows.
"It seems I will not be needing your services after all gentlemen" Edward said.
"Aro wishes to speak with you again" the larger of the two said.
"Very well. Bella, why don't you go and enjoy the festival?"
"The girl must come too" said the other figure.
"no. I won't allow it"
"You have no choice" the first person growled.
"Felix, Aro wants them unharmed" the second said.
"Bella is not going anywhere!" the first one growled at Edward.
"Calm down guys. It's meant to be a festival, remember? You wouldn't want to make scene" Alice said, appearing at my side. The two figures straightened up slightly. Looks like they didn't like even numbers.
"You must come with us, Edward" the second one pleaded.
"No"
"Enough" said a new voice. Everyone turned to look. A small girl with blonde hair (Movie version. Sorry) was approaching us.
"Jane" Edward muttered.
"Aro sent me to see what was taking so long" she looked at me and a small smile slipped onto her face "Come along"
"Who is she?" I whispered to Alice.
"Just do as she says" Alice instructed. Jane led us deep into the building, through dark passageways until we came to a reception. A pretty human receptionist greeted us. Jane nodded curtly at her before leading us into a large hall. Three vampires sat in thrones at one, two were dark haired and one blonde. There was a fourth vampire standing nearby.
"Sister, they send you out for one and you come back with two…and a half. Such a clever girl" he said. (sorry again. I loved that line in the movie. Also, Alec is mega hot!)
"Ah, Edward you are back once again" said one of the dark haired vampires, rising and approaching us.
"It's not like you gave us much of a choice. And I don't see why, no rules were broken"
"but one was broken I'm afraid. This child knows" he said, placing a finger under my chin, pushing my head up. I jerked away.
"I was willing to overlook it earlier, since you said she was dead but since she isn't, we have a problem" he said, smiling at Edward "Now, the rules say that if someone knows about us they must be killed or turned"
"I'll turn Bella I swear!"
"But I know you Edward, you won't. So that leaves but one thing to do" the blonde vampire rose and came to stand in front of us.
"Alec, Felix, Demetri. If you would" he instructed.
"Yes master Caius" they said simultaneously. Felix went and took hold of Edward, Demetri took Alice and the boy I assumed was Alec grabbed me.
"For the crime of threatening to reveal us and allowing a human to know of our existence, Edward Cullen, you are sentenced to death" he moved to Alice.
"For the crime of aiding and abetting a law breaker, Alice Cullen, you are sentenced to death" he moved to me but the dark haired one stopped him and whispered something in his ear. I couldn't hear but Edward started thrashing and yelling, clearly not liking it.
"Felix, Demetri, dispose of them" Caius ordered. There was a sharp crack and before I could blink, Edward and Alice were dust on the floor. The two guards dusted their hands off and turned to me. What was going to happen? Caius smiled. I felt so afraid.
