An Unwelcome Guest

Today had went so fast. That always seemed to happen when you wanted time to slow down. After everything I had been told I didn't really feel up to a party anymore, neither did anyone else. We were all anticipating what was going to happen when the Volturi arrived. Although they had let me go last time, I wasn't sure if I would be able to get away that easy again. They were a pack of the most powerful and royal vampires in the world and there security was made up of some of the most extraordinary but dangerous vampires alive. Two years ago when I had went looking for Edward, I thought they were going to kill me then and there. They probably would have if they had not thought I was so special and had great potential to be powerful as a vampire. I thought it would probably be the last time that I would ever see them but the Cullens had to promise they would turn me into a vampire if they wanted me to get out alive. Mind you, I had been some what thrilled at that. It had been my dream after all.

Edward was sitting at the far end of the living room on the sofa. He had been quiet all afternoon, he could hardly even look at me and when he did his eyes were full of worry and despair. He was afraid that this time he would lose me for good. At least he didn't need to worry about me being as fragile as before, I could handle myself better and knowing that most of there powers didn't work on me, made me feel a little more relaxed. It worried me that Edward was worried. He's the one I turn to when I'm scared for protection, him worrying made me feel nervous. If he was worried, then I was more than worried. I walked over a sat down beside him. He still couldn't look up at me. His hands resting on each of his legs. His nails digging into them. It was then that I realized that he was more worried than I thought. I put my hand to his right hand and squeezed it. He looked at my hand and then to my face. His lips trying to curve into a reassuring smile that ended up looking like more of a grimace than a smile.

"I'm sorry Bella but I just can't help worrying" he said while staring into my eyes. I was dazzled for a second before I came back to reality and the pending situation we all faced.

"I know you can't but you shouldn't worry too much, you've done what they told you to do. The deal was you turn me into a vampire or they do and you've done that, maybe they won't want to take me, maybe they will just let me stay here. I might not be that special after all" I said to him with hope.

"Bella they won't just let you stay here and you are special, why don't you just bloody realize that!" he yelled as he disappeared out of the room.

The rest of the Cullens turned around to look at me. They too had worry etched to there eyes. I noticed Jasper leave the room. Jasper and Edward were close and if anyone could help Edward's mood it was Jasper. Hopefully with Jaspers power he would be able to calm Edward down a bit.

Alice and Esme were whispering to each other in the corner of the room. They noticed me watching and stopped. Everyone seemed to be talking about me today, it was times like this when I felt that I was a burden on there family. I felt as though I needed to get out of here even if it were for an hour or so. It was at times like this I wished that Jacob was still here. He had been a best friend to me, even though he had loved me more than a friend. He was the one that was always there to talk to when the times got bad. Of course I had loved him back but it was a different kind of love, the sort of love that I felt for the rest of the Cullens, the love of a family. What I would give if I could just go down to the La Push and talk to Jacob. He wasn't there and even if he was she couldn't go near the place. She was a vampire now and even though they didn't drink human blood vampires weren't allowed near there land. La Push was the home ground to the werewolf pack. Thats what Jacob was, a werewolf. It was only around a year ago when Bella had figured it out, she found out that the Cullens were only allowed to stay in Forks as long as they didn't hunt humans and as long as they sticked to there home ground. Right then she felt an emptiness in her stomach. Although she lived with the love of her life and her family, she longed to be near Jacob. Guilt spread across her face as she remembered the moment he ran away. It was all because of her. He had loved her and he thought she had loved him back but she didn't, well not as much as Edward and when she rejected him, he couldn't cope he just ran away. If he was dead of if anything bad happened to her, it would be her fault. That guilt she wouldn't be able to handle. Knowing she had killed her best friend.

She walked out of the living room with everyone staring at her and picked up her car keys. She went into the garage and went into her truck. Although she could stand high speed limits now and drive better now she had better vision and reflexes, the only thing she had from her human life was her truck and she was determined to keep it. She was about to pull out of the garage when the door opened, Alice clambered in.

"What are you doing?" Bella asked Alice.

"Coming with you what does it look like?"

"Well I was kind of wanting a bit of privacy"

"Bella, you are never going to get privacy when you have the Volturi after you, we can't let you go anywhere on your own silly! Where are you going?"

"Dunno yet, I was thinking about heading to a book shop and getting a book"

"Oh very exciting" Alice retorted.

"If you don't want to come, then fine" Bella said with a smile.

"Oh just get going" she giggled.

It took them under half an hour to reach there destination. It wasn't the best book shop ever but it was the best book shop within twenty miles. As we entered the book shop the door chimed.

"Ah hello there Bella" said Peter the owner, "I haven't seen you around here much since you got married"

"Yeah we had a extra long honeymoon" Bella replied with a smile.

"So what can I do for you lovely ladies tonight?" he asked. Although he was seventy he still knew how to charm the girls, even if they were vampires and not easily charmed.

"Well I was just wondering if you had any new books in?" she asked

"As a matter of fact I just got a new box of books delivered earlier, there supposed to go on sale in two days but I am sure I can sell just one to my favourite customer"

"Thanks Pete" Bella said as she followed him to get her book.

The way back was silent. It seemed that the usual cheerful Alice couldn't hide the worry.

"Alice?" Bella said.

"Yeah?" she replied.

"You know earlier in the living room when you and Esme were talking?"

"Yeah?"

"Well when I looked over you and Esme stopped talking, I kind of got the feeling you were talking about me"

"Oh" she said, "It's just I had a vision"

"What was it about?"

"It doesn't matter"

"Alice, please tell me, I would rather know if its something about me"

"Okay, I seen you tied up in a dungeon. I think it might have been the Volturi but don't worry my visions can change Bella"

"Is that what Edward saw?"

"Yeah, when he saw it he shouted at you then went out the room, he was really upset"

"I should probably talk to him when I get home"

"Yeah thats probably the best idea, he loves you so much Bella, we all do and if anything was to happen to you, we don't know how we would all move on"

I smiled at Alice. Out of all the Cullens, she was definitely the most close to Alice, well except Edward of course. Alice was like a big sister to her. She always had been. She remembered the first time she met Alice in the dining room, she didn't look to happy with the fact that Edward was falling for a human girl. That all changed though and she took to me completely.

We arrived outside the house. All the lights were off. Alice and I looked at each other. Something was definitely wrong. Alices face screwed up. She was having a vision. Her face relaxed again, her expression however didn't.

"What is it Alice?" I asked, panic stricken in my voice.

"They have taken them!"

"Taken who Alice?"

"Everyone, Carlisle, Esme, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie and Edward!"

I could not speak, I got out of the car and ran towards the door. Alice calling after me. I could run just as fast as she could and she knew she could not out run me. The door was unlocked I ran into the house.

"EDWARD!" I yelled, "CARLISE?, ESME?"

"Bella, that's no way to greet a dear old friend is it?" said a shrill voice behind me. I screamed.

"What is it?" shouted Alice.

She turned on the lights, thats when I seen them.

Each of them were being held by two members of the Volturi guard, a hand pressed up against there mouth, disabling them from speaking. Alice seen them too, her whole family captured and bound. This was my fault, if I hadn't had these 'special powers' they never would have come. Two men came from behind and closed in on Alice. She screamed. I tried to run and help her but I was caught by two other guards. I looked over to where Aro was standing. He was not alone. It looked as though he had brought Jane for company.


Review please :D
