Author's Note: Hello my lovies! I know this chapter is short, but I will be updating again soon. Possibly even today *wiggles eyebrows*. I was sick today so I was able to stay home from school. Probably had some bad movie popcorn when I went to see "Oz, the Great and Powerful". It's a very good movie and I highly suggest going to see it. You're probably bored of my blabbing so here is the next chapter!


Chapter Three

Volterra (Part Three)

This guy is a freaking lunatic.

At first he is all polite, the BAM! It's "join or die." I look around to see what Edward and Alice are doing. Both of them have calm expressions, but I can see a hint of fear in their eyes. The room is silent except for the sounds of Bella and me breathing. Well this is awkward. Finally Eddie Boy breaks the silence,

"Thanks for the offer, but no thanks."

"I agree with Edward. Thanks but no thank you," Alice says

"No thank you," Bella weakly says.

The three of them turned to me with worried expressions. Do they seriously think I'm going to join a coven that consists of lunatics and people who want to kill me? No way.

I bluntly say, "No." But after a stern look from Edward, I say, "Thank you. No thank you."

"Ah, such a waste," Aro says.

"Wait!" Alice cries out. "Bella will be a vampire!"

Aro glides over and takes Alice's hand. After a few moments he steps back and looks at me.

"But what about Miss Casey? She was not mentioned in the vision."

"I would be changed into a vampire, but…um… we are unsure how the venom will react with my…different DNA," I say quickly. This statement isn't ENITRELY untrue. We are unsure about how the venom will react, but I just want to stay human for as long as possible. Sure it was stretching the truth, but it was life or death. Apparently the excuse satisfied Aro because he let us go peacefully.

"Goodbye, young ones. We all hope to see you again in the future."

Yeah, right. I highly doubt that ALL of them hope to see us again. I am pretty sure that ALL of them want us dead. Especially Caius and Jane.

As we walk towards the elevator, a violet-eyed women struts by with a group of humans. The toasty-haired vampire that is leading us exchanges a few words with her as we pass by. A few moments later, I hear their innocent screams. And that is when I make my decision.

I never want to return to Volterra again.
