Chapter 2
"What? What is it Alice?" I demanded. All she managed to gasp out was, "The Volturi."
"What do you mean?" I demanded.
Jasper sat down on a couch and started calming her.
"They're coming over for a surprise visit. Caius is convinced that the reason that they haven't heard from Carlisle in so long is because he is making an army to over through the Volturi," Alice said as calmly as she could.
"They won't find anything, right?" Henri Thomas said putting his head through the wall.
"Oh, of course they will! We have a whole army of sadistic vampires hiding in the basement!" Alice snapped sarcastically.
Henri Thomas shrugged and walked all the way through the wall.
"We do have an army!" Jasper suddenly moaned.
"We do?" ghost Edward and ghost Alice asked at the same time.
"Of ghosts!" Jasper stated.
"I don't think they'd be that upset if we had an army of ghosts," I said.
"But Caius would twist it any which way he could just to get rid of us!" Alice moaned. "After all we have Bella now and Edward 2 and Alice 2," she said using their least favorite nicknames.
Emmett sat down on one of the couches and said, "Who should call Carlisle?"
"I'll do that!" Esme said and she grabbed the phone. I hadn't even heard her walk in. I was already wondering what they could possibly want!
She explained quickly and quietly to Carlisle while Alice paced.
"They might want to recruit some of us!" she said making me jump and suddenly more nervous. "I mean," she continued "Alice can talk to animals and Edward can see the past and no one can block him out. Edward's gift would be more important to the Volturi but Aro will find all of it 'fascinating!'" she added sarcastically.
"Carlisle will be home soon," Esme told us. We all nodded and started to wait.
The other ghosts came in to see what was going on. Mr. Jones had checked out. As well as Mathew and Malcolm who planned to return this summer. Eliot Hobbs and Calvin Watterson checked in along with Miley and Luanne, a vain ghost who was still overly obsessed with her appearance.
Carlisle pulled up the drive and ran into the house.
"What is going on?" he demanded.
"The Volturi are coming," Alice said flatly.
"When?"
"Tomorrow morning."
"Why?"
"They're convinced that we are hiding an army of vampires so that we can over through them," I answered this time instead of Alice.
"Well, I guess we'll just have to show them that we're not," Carlisle said slowly.
"It will work. But we will have to tell them about the ghosts," Alice said.
"Why?" Jasper asked.
"Because Caius will try to convince his brothers that we have humans over every day and that they know," Alice said in an irritated tone.
"What will be their reaction?" Catherine asked her English accent less noticeable then usual.
"It's hard to tell but I'm sure we can guess," she said grimacing.
"What do you mean?" John Lawrence asked.
"Well Aro will think it's all so fascinating! Marcus will be slightly curious but otherwise indifferent. And Caius will think there's an alternate motive," Alice said all in one breath. She grimaced and then sighed.
"So we'll just have to wait and explain," Carlisle said.
We all- even the ghosts –sat in the living room waiting anxiously for the morning to come…
