CHAPTER 2
Tomorrow came and Heidi dragged me to my car. It was raining, so we were safe. I drove us to the Dress Maker's Boutique. We walked in and I told him we were browsing. Living in Volterra as a vampire gives you plenty of free time and Dad thought learning languages was a good use of time, so I am now fluent in; English, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Latin, Greek, German, Swedish, Chinese and Egyptian. I have no idea when I'll need to speak any of these languages, except English and Italian, but apparently they'll come in useful.
"Now your dad wants you in purple so let's look at these!" Heidi exclaimed and pulled me towards a rack of purple dresses. After half an hour of looking and trying on Heidi sighed,
"I knew it would come to this. Roberto!!"
"Come to what?" I questioned worriedly.
"We'll have one customized. Ah, Roberto" Heidi kissed a tall tanned man on the cheek, she explained about the dress and the specifications. Four hours later I was stood in a beautiful dark purple dress. It was strapless and had crystals clustered at the bust and the lower you got the more the crystals faded. It flowed to the floor and had a small train at the back. The dress was backless, but had a giant cross across the skin, acting as the back of the dress to keep it in place. The cross was covered in crystals. The skirt was very floaty and light, but that was to balance out the weight of all the crystals on the top half. We thanked Roberto and scheduled a fitting a week before the gathering. Heidi then proceeded to drag me to numerous shops, and finally in the fifth shop she found a pair of shoes she approved of and showed them to me. The were round toe stilettos, very simple; except for one minor detail they were made of glass.
"Glass shoes? Do I look like Cinde-bella?" I asked
"No, but they'll match your pretty dress and make me very happy" she pouted and pulled out her puppy dog eyes.
"Fine, Get them" I sighed
"YES!" she screamed and hugged me. We went to the check out and paid. Turns out they were the last pair and Pierre, the designer, is not making anymore. Now I have to be extra careful. We returned home and put the shoes, jewellery and extras that, according to Heidi, 'I just have to have', away.
(Edward's POV)
"What is it Carlisle?" Emmett questioned. We were all sat in the dining room, Carlisle called us down.
"It's from Aro" Carlisle started.
"What does that dufus want?"
"Well there's a gathering in a months time, every vampire in existence is to attend"
"What's the occasion?" Esme asked
"It says that they have a special very important announcement to make"
"So let me get this right" Emmett started, here we go, "The Volturi have a 'special very important announcement to make' so we have to go all the way to Volterra for a gathering, and then we, as a coven, have to stay another month when all the rest of the Vampire world get to escape to freedom!"
"Basically yes"
"Cool, free holiday, when do we go?" We all laughed at his dramatic change of heart.
"In a few weeks" Rose was about to speak but Alice had a vision. I tried to see it but she blocked me. She opened her eyes and a huge grin spread across her face.
"What is it Alice? What did you see?" Jasper whispered.
"I know what Aro's announcement is!!" she clapped her hands.
"What is it?!" Rose squealed
"Are sure you want to know? Wouldn't you rather wait until the gathering?"
"ALICE!" we all yelled in unison.
"Alright, Alright. Aro's announcement is that … well he drinks animals blood now and from the looks of it has for over fifty years" We all gasped. Then it was silent.
"Really Alice, are you sure?" Carlisle checked. She nodded her head.
