Chapter 1 Prada, Armani, and Gucci, oh my!

Just a warning I have never been to Italy and the description is based on pictures and what I read. The new character, Sebastian will be introduce in this chapter. I know Lucas won the vote which surprised me because I thought Sebastian and Eli would be the top two but, Sebastian did come in second. I took the top two most voted name and pick which name I would use out of the top two, I would use the name that won if it won by a lot but, this poll was very close. Also, my update will come once a week for now and may change to every two weeks later on. I also, had a hard time starting this and I think this chapter is ok and not completely satisfied with it but, it was the best one I could do and I think my first chapter to all my story aren't very good as the rest of the chapters but, you may have a different opinion.

"Flight 327 to Italy is now boarding," I heard them announce our flight.

"You got everything you need?" I heard Carlisle ask me as we started to head towards our gate.

"Yeah," I answered sadly.

Carlisle caught my tone, "Bella, we're going to save him."

I nodded, not saying anything else as we boarded on the plane. Emmett, Rose, Alice, and Jasper sat with their partners as Carlisle and I sat together. For the whole flight I didn't talk, I just stared out the window, thinking about Edward, hoping we were going to be able to save him.

When we landed, we all got out and went to get our luggage. When I got my only luggage, I noticed Alice and Rose were still looking for a suitcase when they already had two.

"Alice, how many suitcases did you bring?" I asked her.

"Four," she answered, still searching for her last two.

"Why did you bring four?" I inquired.

"Because, the future can change. We may end up staying here four extra days or more." She answered, grabbing her third bag.

I didn't reply back. I went over towards the rest of the Cullen's as Alice and Rose found the rest of their luggage.

After Alice and Rose got the rest of their luggage, we headed out of the airport. We loaded our suitcases in the two rental cars with Alice, Rose, Emmett, and Jasper going into one car while Carlisle and I went in the other car.

As we got on the road, Carlisle's phone started to ring, "What is it Alice?" he asked, concerned. I could almost hear the conversation with Alice, hearing a squealing muffled voice as Carlisle put his phone farther away from his ear. "I'll let you ask her," Carlisle told Alice, handing me the phone.

"Hello," I greeted her, waiting for her to squeal.

"Bella, we're going SHOPPING." she squealed as loud as I ever heard her.

"Why, Alice?" I groaned.

"Because we're in Italy and we're less than an hour away from the home to where the top designers shops are," She answered. Even though I couldn't see Alice, I knew she was bouncing in the car.

I sighed, knowing I wasn't in the mood to argue with Alice. "Ok Alice but, no more than an hour."

"Bella," she whined. "All the top designer stores are within a mile radius of each other and I won't be able to shop in all of them within an hour."

"Two hours," I told her.

"Bella," she started to whine. "Three hours," she started to debate.

"Two," I argued.

"Two and a half," she argued back.

I sighed; "Two and a half and no more," I told her.

"Thank you Bella," she squealed in the phone.

I hung up on her, not wanting her to make myself any more deaf as I was from all of her squealing. After ten minutes had passed, we arrived in Rome. Carlisle parked the car a block away due to the crowded streets filled with pedestrians. When Alice got out of the car, she was awe struck. What seemed like minutes later, she composed herself, dragging me along to the first of many stores.

She ended up dragging me into Prada, she squealed when she saw all the clothes. I groaned as she started to grab different article of clothing. After ten minutes Jasper, Rose and a dragging Emmett came in the store. I could see Jasper didn't want to be here anymore than Emmett did by his expression. Carlisle wasn't with them but, I didn't have to read minds to know he didn't want to go anywhere near here with Alice shopping.

After thirty minutes in Prada, we left with Emmett and Jasper each carrying four bags of Alice's and Rose's stuff. Alice and Rose rushed through the streets, searching for the next store to conquer.

After going finishing our second store, we started to go into the next one when I stopped Alice. "Alice, I'm going to stay out here while you shop; I don't need any more clothes."

"Bella," she whined.

"Alice, you don't need me to go in there. You know my size and you can see the future to see if it looks good on me or not." I told her.

"Fine," she pouted as she and Rose entered the store, dragging Emmett and Jasper.

I sighed as I leaned against a pillar, sitting on the sidewalk. I put my head in my arms as I waited for Alice to finish shopping so we could go to the Volturi to find a way to save Edward but, part of me didn't want her to be finished. I was scared about going to the Volturi, not knowing what to expect, even though part of me wanted to so I could save Edward.

"Stai bene?" I was broken out of my thoughts when I heard this. I looked up seeing a guy, who looked about the same age as me with brown hair and brown eyes.

"What?" I asked.

"Are you ok?" he asked with an accent.

I sighed. "Yeah, I just have a lot on my mind." I didn't want to tell a complete stranger my problems and I'm sure he didn't want to hear it either.

"What's on your mind?" he asked.

I was surprised; I was expecting him to say ok and walk away.

"It's nothing," I told him, even though part of me wanted to tell him - leaving out the vampires part because he would think I was crazy or something.

"It doesn't seem like nothing when I saw you on the ground," he replied.

I was actually debating whether to tell him or not.

"I'm sorry, let me introduce myself. I'm Sebastian," he said when he read my expression.

"Bella," I said, reaching out my hand to shake his.

"Nice to meet you, Bella." he smiled shaking my hand. "So, now that you know me better do you want to tell me what's on your mind?" he asked as he slide down next to me.

"Well," I started. "My boyfriend is in a coma and I came all the way over here to find a way to save him." I left out about how Edward is a vampire and the reason he's in a coma is because he didn't change me into a vampire."

"How did he get into a coma?" Sebastian asked.

"He fell off a ladder." I answered.

"Oh," he replied.

"Where are y-," before he could finish, I heard my name.

"BELLA," I turned my head towards the sound to see Alice coming towards me. "Bella, who's this?" she asked.

"I'm Sebastian," Sebastian answered Alice's question.

"I'm Alice but we need to go, Bella and I need to go in one more store before we have to leave," Alice told Sebastian.

"Ok, it's nice to meet you Bella, Alice." He nodded, turned around, walking away from us.

"Bye," I told him as Alice pulled the opposite way Sebastian was walking.

We ended up going to Gucci and Alice acted like she did in the other stores. I sighed as I waited for Alice to get her last thirty minutes in.

After Alice's time was up, we all found Carlisle and headed off to Volterra, wondering what was going to happen once I met the Volturi.

I will tell you Sebastian will show up later in this story but, it will be a while and he'll have a bigger role in this story than you think. Also I have a picture of him in my profile. Till then, Review.
