Chapter One
Trouble in Paradise
(EPOV)
Bella and I had been enjoying our honeymoon for months on end. It was nice to finally be with her, to have her as my own. I couldn't have wished for a better person to spend the rest of eternity with. I loved her so much it was horrible to even begin to think about my life before her. I was reborn the day I saw her, the instant I kissed her, the moment I told her that I loved her, and many other times after that. The fact that her humanity was gone still haunted me, but it wasn't something I had done to her, it wasn't my choice to make, it was hers.
The doorbell rang. It was my family, I could tell by their thoughts. Bella was still in the shower, but because she had the ability to take everyone else's power and Alice could see the future, I'm sure she already saw it coming.
I reluctantly got up from the bed and dressed quickly. I ran down two flights of stairs and opened the door to see a smiling Carlisle. However, something didn't seem right to me.
"Edward!" Alice squealed as her stony little arms grabbed me.
"Alice." I said calmly and enveloped her into a hug.
"You're early!" I heard Bella yelp as she came down the stairs.
Emmett was the first to hug her, then Alice, Rosalie, Esme, Carlisle and last Jasper. He hugged her with caution as if she was still human. I turned away at the thought of Bella's humanity. It was a war I still managed to get into inside my head. I knew Bella stayed out of my thoughts as much as possible and I was sure she hadn't heard my thoughts of this, because anytime she ever heard anything she didn't like we always had a talk about things.
"So Edward you managed to put on some pants." Emmett laughed. Bella looked down and I could tell she was embarrassed. I punched Emmett lightly on the jaw and he looked shocked. "So now that you're finally a man you think you can take me on?" Emmett smiled at the thought of a challenge.
"Outside." Esme said simply. She didn't want anything to break in our new home.
"You guys quit it! Emmett you need to go ahead and put up your stuff. There's no use in getting into a fight, Edward wins anyways." Bella smiled and winked at me and grabbed my arm. I wrapped my arms around her small waist and kissed her neck. She still melted to my touch a thought that made me smile. My family all smiled at us. The smile had me on edge. I looked around the room at everyone and I knew there was something that everyone knew about—even Bella—that I didn't know about, it was as if there was some secret joke that I wasn't aware of. I tried to tune into Carlisle's thoughts but found him blocking me. I unwrapped my arms from Bella's waist and sat down on the couch. My family followed suit. Either Bella or Jasper sent me a wave of calmness.
"Does anyone want to tell me what's going on?" I asked. Bella sat down beside me.
"Nope." Her voice was light and I could tell she was teasing me. I cocked my brow and looked at her again.
"Are you sure you don't want to tell me anything?" I leaned over on her and kissed her collarbones. I could hear my family exiting to a new location upstairs to give us some privacy.
"Sure." She managed to stammer out.
"I don't think you are." I kissed her collarbones and then her neck and finally her perfect lips. "Is there anything I should be aware of?" She let a small moan out and I knew I had won.
"The Volturi are going to be visiting." She stammered out and I could feel the tension thicken between us. Why hadn't she told me sooner? "I had a vision of it a couple of weeks ago. I called Alice and we decided they should come down here, just in case anything goes…" She couldn't finish her sentence. I had unconsciously sat up.
"Do you see any trouble?" I asked calmly.
"Not really." She looked down at her feet. She must have been lying. There was only one other person who would know what Bella had seen and she was staying upstairs.
"Then we have nothing to worry about." I kissed her again and my family came down the stairs.
"Edward, it looks like we get to kick Demetri's ass anyways!" Boasted a cheerful Emmett.
"Let's hope it doesn't come to that." Carlisle stated calmly.
"I hope it doesn't." Bella whispered. If anything bad was going to happen surely she would see it, and if she had seen it, surely she would tell me—at least I hoped she would tell me. I was once again aggravated that the only thoughts I couldn't access were the only ones that I ever wanted to hear. I tuned into Jasper so I could at least know what she was feeling, but even he didn't have everyone's emotions in check. He must have been trying to tune them out. I went to Alice and the only thing on her mind was taking Bella to some stores in the city. She was trying to keep her thoughts occupied, I could tell. I sighed.
"I'm going to go out for a walk, I'll be back." I stammered out as I got up and walked out the door. I needed time to think without any worry of Bella hearing my thoughts. I ran out into our backyard.
I couldn't believe that Bella was keeping something from me. I didn't know it then, but our lives would change forever all because of a visit from some old friends.
