Chp1:Favour

I had to call Jacob. If it didn't work, then… I gulped. All the others didn't know yet. Swiftly I took up my cell out of my pocket. Quickly I taped in Jacob's number and hoped for him to answer.

"Hello" a dark voice said. Billy. Crap.

"Hello Billy" I answered, and with my new beautiful vampire-voice it was quite easy to hide that I was stressed.

"May I talk to Jacob?" I said impatiently.

"Sure"

I heard that he was yelling, so Jacob would soon be by the phone. But I thought he was taking such a long time. Seconds passed. Huh. Now I understand that vampires have a totally different time-setup. Seconds almost felt like minutes. These seconds felt like hours.

"Hello" a different voice said that I loved the most (expect for Edward's and Renesmee's, Jacob is in third place)

"Hi, Jake. I need you to do a favour for me. It includes all my family, Jacob…" I had to continue.

"…so please do it for me. Think of Renesmee…"

"Bella, you haven't even told me what I should do for you" he said.

"So what are you asking?"

I took a deep breath (even tough I didn't have to, but it felt nice)

"Well… I need you to follow me to meet the Volturi"

I almost whispered the last part.

"The Italian guys? Like the vampire mafia? Why?"

He sounded confused.

"I have already told you the reason, Jacob. To protect my family. No, our family Jacob"

"So will Renesmee be in danger?"

"All of us Jacob if you don't help me. Please Jacob…"

"Who said I wasn't going to do it?"

Exited.

"Don't worry, Bells. It will be alright. I'll take care of them."

I snorted.

"Thank you Jacob"

"No prob, Bells. See ya"

"Bye" I muttered. He had already hung up. Well, now that part was fixed. Now I only had to be slaughtered by my family because I hadn't told them about this. I sighed. To calm down I went to the couch and sat down. I flipped the TV on. This would help me practise my human charade, that I really wasn't that good at. Practise makes it perfect, right? The woman on TV seemed extremely happy about getting a new brand "How-to-cook" book. I though it was funny how you could be so happy for just a book, couldn't she cook already?

Twenty minutes passed and I sat up from the couch. I wondered what Jacob was doing. He was probably quite tense, especially now when he knew the bad news. They might come here. I decided to tell everybody.

"Um, everybody…Family?" I didn't know to address them since they were so many. Well, I could just have said their names. Too late now.

"Here Bella" Edward called from the kitchen. What was he doing there? I went to the kitchen slowly (for a vampire at least). Everybody was there: Edward, Renesmee, Jasper, Alice, Rosalie, Emmett, Carlisle and Esme. Esme looked really happy with all in the family in the kitchen. Even though I now was a part of their family, I went in carefully.

"I won't bite you Bella, I'm not dangerous" Edward teased.

"Ha ha, very funny"

He kissed me.

"What are all of you doing in the kitchen?" I asked confused.

Even Renesmee helped Emmett to cut some vegetables (but Emmett seemed very into just cutting things with a knife)

"We thought of having the Clearwaters here for lunch" Esme answered happily.

"Oh, that's nice" I said a little bit shocked. The Clearwaters? Maybe Seth could be behind this, or…Edward? Yes, it had to be Edward.

"Can I help you out?"

I had to soft them out. It had to be the right time. No matter when I would tell Edward he would still always go berserk. I had to think of something that would force him to be here, and not follow me and Jacob. Even though it would hurt him very much that I went to the Volturi with only one "guard", he wouldn't get hurt. That was the main purpose. Nobody in my family was going to get ... No! I hadn't thought of Jacob.
