Edward POV
"Edward Anthony Mason Cullen, get your ass down here now. We're leaving for the Volturi, and you're coming whether you like it or not." Alice screamed at me from downstairs. I've been in my room for the past so many years, only leaving to hunt when needed. I was depressed, and I'll I could do was lay in my room and listen to the CD I made for Bella on her eighteenth birthday. I tried not to remember that night; that awful night. Alice decided to throw her a birthday party at our house. She cut her finger, Jasper almost attacked her, and I throw her into a glass vase trying to protect her.
I put her into that harm by bringing her into my world, a world she didn't belong in. That's all in the past, but it still haunts me. "Coming, Alice." I called down to her knowing she would her me. Once I got down there, everyone got into the cars. We were taking two cars, my Volvo and Emmett's jeep. When we arrived, it was very quiet in the halls. Then we reached a door that had guards. Carlisle just nodded his head to them and they let us through.
Then we heard someone say, "Wow, you guys never change, huh?" to our left. We all turned and looked in the guards lined up to see who said that. All of eyes sopped searching when we saw Bella, or someone who looked exactly like her, in the line of guards.
"B-Bella, is that you?" Alice asked her.
"What does it matter to you who I am? I thought I was just a weak, pathetic human who you guys liked to play with like a toy." She replied angrily. "Wow," I thought to myself, "she really believed me."
"Ouch. Her emotions are set on revenge, hatred, betrayal, and anger. They are really strong, too, so be careful what you do and say around her. She could explode at any second, and we don't know if she has any powers." Jasper told us. What did you say to her, Edward for her to feel such a passionate rage of emotions? Jasper asked me through his thoughts. (This is before she absorbed his power)
"For your information, I do have a gift. Well it's really like hundreds of gifts, but I only know of a few. You see, I can absorb any vampire's gift and use it. I also can absorb a gift from a human only if that human would be gifted if changed. Do you at least have an understanding of how powerful I am?" she asked. We all nodded our heads. "Good," she said, "Because you wouldn't want to get on my bad side. If you don't mind, Aro I would like to talk to Edward alone." She said.
"That is fine, Bella. Everyone out except for Edward." Aro said.
Be careful. She pissed off at you right now. She will be wanting to scream at you. Her emotions are screaming at me right now, and it's giving me a headache, Jasper told me mentally at me. Then we where alone.
Once everyone was out of ear-shot, she started her rant. "You self-absorbed jackass. You leave me in the woods to die. I was found by the wolves, and do you know what? They where there to protect me when you weren't. The same day you left and the wolves found me, so did the Volturi. They gave me two choices: either be changed or be killed. I chose to be changed, so that I could one day go out, find you, and kick your sorry ass for leaving me. Do you have any idea what state you left me in? You alone broke my heart into pieces so tiny it could never be mended. You know the hardest thing of all of this is that I still love you, but I know you could never love me back." She screamed at me, except for the last part. She was just staring at me, waiting for me to say something. When I looked into those beautiful chocolate brown eyes, I saw love, anger, understanding-for I'm guessing blaming herself for me leaving her-, hatred, and hope. I don't know what came over me, but the next thing I knew I had my lips on hers. Then I started pushing her up against the wall, put one hand in her hair and one hand on the wall, trapping her.
She started to respond, but then she kicked me hard in my one weak spot. As soon I doubled over, she told me, "Next time you fell like messing with someone's emotions, you better not pick, because you wouldn't last ten seconds against me. Just an F.Y.I., I have the ability to kill vampires in a tenth of a second, or burn them alive. Most times I prefer to burn people alive, though. You've been warned, so while you're here be very cautious of your every move." With that she walked out.
"Wonder why she did that, if she still loves you?" Emmett asked me as he entered the throne room along with everyone else.
"I don't know, Emmett. Does anyone know why?" I asked them.
"I do. She thinks you're acting out of guilt, and she doesn't want that. She's afraid that you will leave her again when we leave, because you're acting out of guilt, and she doesn't want to hurt that badly again, Edward. I told you what would happen to her emotionally, if we left her, but you wouldn't listen to me. You told me she would be fine, but you're wrong, very wrong. I can't see anything in the future, because she is confused. Bella doesn't know what to believe. I can see she wants to believe your actions, but just can't. She's been hurt to badly for any of us to get through to her. The only person that has a chance getting through to her is Jacob Black. The only problem is he's a werewolf and he lives on the reservation." Alice told me.
"How do you know this? I thought you couldn't see the dogs." I said.
"I can't see the dogs, but I have a feeling that he is the only one that has ever been able to get through to her." She retorted.
"Fine, I will go talk to the mongrel and try to get him to came here and talk some sense into her. In the meantime, will someone please try to talk to her and get her to talk to me?" I asked them.
"I will," Aro said. "She needs to overcome her past. That, and her emotions control the way she uses her powers, and I know we don't want to have and over emotional Bella running around the palace again. The last time that happened, we had to redo the whole palace."
"Okay. I'm gone. Alice, call me if anything happens here." She nodded her head in response. With that I was off towards La Push, to talk to Jacob Black. "Weird," I thought to myself, "that he started phasing the day I left Bella." As I thought through that I realized he would give anything to kill me, since I basically sentenced his best friend and love interest to death by dating her. He just didn't realize that I left to protect her. Ugh! I'm here otherwise the smell wouldn't be so bad.
Just then a pitch black horse-sized dog came out of the trees.
What do you want, leech?
"I'm Edward Cullen as you know. Firstly I would like to know who you are. Secondly I would like to talk to Jacob." I said.
I'm Sam Uley. And yes you may talk to Jacob. May I ask what you wish to speak with him about, parasite?
"No you may not. This is about him, Bella, and me. Thank you for letting me speak with him."
Whatever. Paul, go get Jake and tell him to meet me at the border. He will be here shortly. Just then a russet colored, horse sized dog came into the clearing.
Sam, will you please leave so I can talk to the leech alone? With that Sam left. What do you want leech? He asked.
"First of all, how about you go phase, then come back here and talk to me in human form." I said. With that he went into the forest to phase. When he came out of the forest, he was wearing cut off jeans.
"Answer my question. What do want?" he repeated.
"I need you to try and talk some sense into Bella. She won't talk to me or even look at me."
"WHAT!!!!! She's still alive? They could never find her body. All they could find was her blood smeared all over the forest floor. I want to know what happened to her right now!!"
"Apparently the day I left and after you guys found her, she was found by the Volturi, the leaders of our kind, and was given the choice to either be turned or killed. She chose to be turned, and after all of thought her dead, she shows up when we visit the Volturi. I tried to talk to her, but it was more like her screaming at me, and me kissing her. Then she got pissed for some reason and almost killed me. Like I said, I really need you to find out why she is mad at me."
"Firstly, I didn't start phasing until two weeks after you left her and we couldn't find her. Secondly, why should I help?"
"Because I can get the Volturi on your furry little butts and have you all annihilated. Are we clear?" I said that, but I knew it was lie. Bella would keep the Volturi away from the dogs at all costs, because Jacob was one of the pack members.
"Crystal. Okay, the only thing I can think of that would set her off, would be if….. Wait, what did you say to her when you left her?"
"I told I didn't love her and she was just a toy, a distraction."
"I think I understand now. Did she confess her love for you when she was yelling at you?" I nodded. "Well, you did an awesome job of probably ruining every chance you could ever have to get back together with her. Which by the way, I'm thrilled about that, but I will tell you what I think happened to be going through her mind the moment she rejected you and I will try to talk with her. You see, she probably felt that you were acting out of guilt and not love when you kissed her. I'm guessing she's changed so the new Bella probably doesn't want to risk getting her heart broken again. Plus, she probably doesn't want to be pitied and be with someone when they're only with her out guilt. My advice would be to try to tell her the truth. By the way, does she have any powers?" As he said all of this, it all made sense. He basically said the same exact thing Alice told me. My only question was how he knew all of that.
"How do you know this? Yes, she has many gifts. She is now declared the most powerful vampire on earth. Be careful when I bring her here to talk to you. I won't bring her personally, but I will send her here. You can't go to Volterra because of what you are and the Volturi will kill you. Are we clear?"
"Yep," Jacob said as he walked away from me. "I don't know how I know this, but I guess I just do for this kind of thing." Great I thought to myself how am I supposed to get Bella here without her killing me? I guess I will have to think of that later. I thought about everything that happened while also trying to conjure a plan on how to get her here on the plane ride to Volterra. Wow, what have I done?
Tell me what you think. Review people, review. The next chapter might be in Jacob's POV. This will probably be Jacob's only time in the story. I'm a Team Jacob fan though. It's just fun to write from both sides though. Hopefully, there's no hard feelings.
