Time and Confusion

Chapter 2

While we were driving to Volterra, the sun began to rise so we made sure to wear hats or have our hoods up to prevent our skin from sparkling. Over all it was a quaint little town with an Italian rustic feel, it was sweet and a bit like out of a romance movie. First Carlisle pulled up to the gates of Volterra followed by Edward and us, as soon as we got permission to go in we drove through narrow cobblestone streets that lay in-between. "Do the Volturi feed here in Volterra then?" I asked Rose. "No, they have the nerve to bring in tourists here who think they're on some kind of exclusive tour of the city but I'm sure you can guess what their business here really is." Rose answered; I already knew all of the Cullens disliked the Volturi very much. I wouldn't blame them, after all they had tried to kill us many times.

"You see the clock tower in the center?" Emmett asked I nodded. "That's where they live but there's a hotel we'll be staying in, I think we're going there first." He told me, the clock tower he showed me looks like the oldest building here in Volterra. Later we arrived at the hotel, I couldn't pronounce the name though since it was in Italian.

All three of the cars pulled up to the half-circle drive in where we shortly parked so we could take our things up to the rooms. Fortunately, a large awning, the color of red blood, covered the front of the hotel; it seemed as though most of the city's color scheme was blood red and a neutral tan. The three of us got out and Emmett and I started pulling out the suitcases from the trunk.

"Uh, Emmett, if each of us only have one suitcase, why are there seven?" I asked. "Hey be careful with those!" I heard Alice order one of the bellhops, "I think you can very well guess." He replied. "Seriously she buys clothes like they're going out of style." Emmett whined. "Well duh, they are. Jeez you would never last as a girl." I told him smiling at the thought of how hilarious it'd be if he dressed up in Alice's clothes and 4-inch stilettos. "Ya, ya, ya Luna you would never last a day as a guy as strong and tough as me." Emmett said as we lugged our suitcases up over the curb.

"Oh please, being you for a day would be easy 'Girls! Money! Fart jokes!' Hell I may lose brain cells trying to be you!"

"Can you two please quit bickering so we can go upstairs?" Rose pleaded. I picked up a couple more bags and put them on one of the luggage carts before joining the others on the elevator.

"I'm really not looking forward to seeing the Volturi again…" Bella complained. "There's never a time when we see them without them trying to make us join. They're probably even going to ask Nessie someday." She grimaced at the last part. Little Nessie squirmed in Bella's arms at the mention of her name. She's so adorable with curly brown locks and matching chocolate eyes, she looked so much like Edward and Bella.

"The only thing I can imagine them doing is creeping out Nessie, she'd never join them." I pitched in. "Isn't that right Nessie?" I asked the little girl pinching her cute little cheeks. Edward chuckled "Well, I'm definitely not looking forward to seeing them again since last time it was not on good terms…" He said recalling the last visit from the Volturi back in Forks with the witness of Nessie. The elevator dinged signaling to us that it was time to get off.

"They can't be that bad, right?" I asked, I've never met the Volturi before. "No Luna, I suppose that they are doing good by not letting the world know about our existence but they are still heartless people who don't care about humans." Edward explained. "The things I've seen through their thoughts are just… horrific." He said distressed.

"Oh…" I muttered. "When you meet them you can't let them mess with your mind. Especially if you have a power like yours. They'd kill to have you on their guard." Edward warned. "Well I don't ever use my power anyways so it doesn't matter. Besides we don't have to tell them." I responded, I have the power to rewind time but I never ever use it. I always decide that everything happens for a reason and changing that could greatly disrupt the natural order of things.

We all walked into the suite that we'd be staying at. The people who work at the hotel must think we're crazy to only have one suite for eleven people but it's not like we sleep anyways. Well I mean Jake and Nessie do but there's already four bedrooms.

"Luna, the Volturi won't force you to join, but just remember that they won't hesitate on playing mind tricks on you. They've done it before and they won't hesitate on trying again." Edward warned me with a stern face. "Relax, I won't let them get to me." I assured him, he gave an uneasy smile but headed back to one of the rooms with Bella so they could tuck Nessie in.
