wonderful thanks to my beta-Edward'sDarkAngel. you should really read her stories. they're really good.

"You don't have to like it. You just have to deal with it." Alice's blunt comment pulled me up short, and left me dumbfounded. She got up and walked away, leaving me to my misery.

Chapter 2

Rain poured off of the roof as I climbed in through her window. It opened as easily as before, yet this time was different. Instead of me seeing her, I was to remove every reminder-every memory of ME. Walking over to the CD player I pulled out the compositions I had made for her and placed them on the desk. I then found the pictures from the scrapbook and the plane tickets. I had every reminder of me- but where to put them?

I felt that I should leave some part of me with her without her knowing. Where could I put them where she would never find them? I found a weak spot in the floor boards. Underneath was a small space just big enough for memories in my hands.

As I was placing the floorboards back in place I inhaled her sweet scent for the last time. I had promised her that she would never see me again. I wish I had never made that promise. But it would be breaking it to go and tell her that. I wished I never had to lie to her. But she wouldn't let me go without a fight. She loved me too much.

When I said those hateful vile untrue words my stone heart shattered. She actually believed every single lie coming from my damned mouth. I had told her a million times that I loved her, even tasting her sweet blood to save her from the same damned fate as I have. And yet that one little lie she believed with all her heart.

I left as quickly as I could, heading for Seattle. I had a plane to catch. The rain continued to pour and I felt responsible for leaving her in the forest. She could catch hypothermia and it would be all my fault. She had to move on; she couldn't be with me anymore seeing as I was future Volturi.

"A plane to Paris, France, Please." I asked the lady at the airport counter. She handed me the ticket, pointing the way to the terminal. I sat waiting; we would board in ten minutes.

"You... don't... want me?"
"No."

I couldn't get her face as she said those words out of my head. She looked so broken, so torn. I wanted to pick her up and put her together again. At the same time put myself together.
"We are now boarding flight 2784 to Paris France. Flight 2784 to Paris France. we are making one stop in New York to change flights." I stood up and boarded the plane. All while the other passengers were filing in, I resisted the urge to run out and go home.

I had to choose between the rock and that hard place. I took the rock. I stayed on the plane, knowing if I got off I chose death for us all. The plane finally took flight. No one took the risk of sitting next to me; their natural instincts told them to keep away. I became still like a statue, only moving so not to raise suspicion. time passed quickly, the plane landing in the JFK International Airport.

After flying over the Atlantic Ocean, we landed in Paris. I left the airport, deciding to steal a car and drive to Volterra. I ran to the parking lot, looking for a fast car. There. A blue Mercedes a fast one. the human had forgotten to lock the doors. It was amazing it hadn't been stolen before this. It was a matter of popping the hood and hot wiring the car. I cruised out of Paris going 130 mph.

I arrived in Voltera a day later; just making the time limit I had set for myself. I ditched the car in some parking lot, running to the castle. Felix greeted me at the door.
"Aro is expecting you in his office. I'm to escort you there." He turned and strolled down the hall, I following right behind him. Down the hall up some stairs, a turn left, a right down the second hallway third door on the left and we were there.

Aro was sitting behind his desk sorting papers. I stood there for 5, 10 minutes till he finally looked up. "Ah Edward, you have arrived. FELIX!!" Felix entered the room. "Yes Master?"
"Escort Edward here to his room. Edward, wash up and ring the bell by your door. Someone will arrive to bring you back here. Soon, you'll learn your way around. Dismissed."

Felix strode out of the room. I hurried behind him. he went down several corridors until he stopped in front of a door.
"This is your room for your stay. Use anything in here and wash up." He left.I opened the door to a whit walled room. Shelves decorated the left wall. To my right were the doorways to my bathroom and walk-in closet. The back wall on the right side had glass doors leading to a balcony. Next to that was a king size bed.

I took a shower, changing into a blue polo with jeans. A golden tassel rope hung by the door. Pulling gently I heard a small ding somewhere in the castle. The door opened a few seconds later and Demetri walked in.
"Here, put this on." He said handing me a dark gray cloak. "it's standard dress coded, required anywhere but your room." I fasten it around my neck. We walked quickly back to Aro's office.
"I'll leave you here." he said nodding to Aro and me.

Marcus and Caius entered soon after. "Is it time brother?" Caius asked Aro. "It is. Follow us Edward."

Aro swept out the door with Marcus and Caius directly behind him. I followed Marcus out the door. Aro led us to a secluded section of the castle. We passed a dark burgundy door. "What is in there?" I asked my curiosity aroused.
Aro replied generously. "An... apartment of sorts. We never use that for anything. Just ignore it."

He led me down the hall to a dark gold door. "In here is the Vortar." He swung the door open. We entered a long narrow hallway. The dark green walls made the rest of the castle seem light and happy. At the end was a black door with gold swirls. Aro pushed opened the door, beckoning to me.

I entered a large room with a high, arched ceiling, the same color of the hall. The floor was black tiled, reflecting a strange glowing light coming from a bowl on a stand near the back wall. Nothing else was in the room. I approached it, the light making my pale skin glow.

"Come Edward. Ask it a question and see if you really are the next Volturi." Aro stood next to me, Caius and Marcus stood flanking me. I stared into the elixir swirling like someone was constantly stirring it.

"Vortar..." Oh I felt so stupid! "... Vortar am I... the next Volturi?"

The water stirred faster, then stopped, settling into a still calm surface. A piece of parchment floated to the surface. I reached in, my fingers brushing the top of the elixir causing a tiny ripple. It was cool and slimy, like gel. Aro had said that only the Volturi could touch the liquid. Well that obviously answered my question. I opened the reply.

Yes, Edward, you are the next Volturi. There is one other. And I understand why you would feel ridiculous talking to a bowl.

I laughed. It seems this Vortar has a sense of humor. "And who is to rule with me?"

The name of this vampire is anonymous for some things have not been put in motion, and, if you are patient, the answer will come in time.

It went from humorous to cryptic. It needs to get some pills for mood swings. "What the hell does that mean?"

I would appreciate it if you would not swear when asking me a question. In response to that question it means quite simply to Wait for Fate.

A/N: see? i told you it would be explained. If any of you have seen knight rider, the Vortar reminds me of Kitt. Also the bowl is an inspiration from HP.

(Also, if Alyssa Chase is reading this, I wish to email you so get my email from my profile page.)

Wait for Fate...
