Chapter 2
I turned to see a beautiful girl strutting into the room as the huge doors closed behind her. Something eerie happened next, every single vampire in the dropped to one knee and bowed their heads.
Huh?
I looked towards Edward in confusion. This girl and I were the only two still standing, and she smirked as she smugly looked at everyone in the room.
I turned towards Aro and he looked very frightened as his eyes followed this girl.
When she spoke, it was in a powerful and arrogant voice, "Everyone rise. For those of you who do not know, my name is Rebekah. I do not like what is going on here at all, Aro. I told you to leave the Cullen Clan alone. Even if they are protecting a human."
By this point, she was right next to Aro's throne and looked at Alice, "I do not believe that we have met. You are the clairvoyant, correct? I have heard many things about you."
"Yes," Alice croaked, "I can see the future. It is strictly based on decision, so it does change frequently. I've heard a lot of things about you too, Rebekah."
"All bad things I hope," Rebekah said as she turned towards Aro. "I tried letting you guys have fun before I intervened, but it was becoming torturous. You need to leave this coven alone, Aro. I do not want them being messed with. If they break any rules, I will personally take care of it. They are not your responsibility anymore," she hissed.
Aro spluttered but nodded his head, "We will leave them alone. Just as you ask."
While their exchange was happening, I kept looking towards Edward in confusion. He kept his poker face on, but I could see a little bit of relief shining through. Rebekah was saving us, I might have a chance of going back to Forks.
Suddenly, Rebekah was on the floor hissing in pain. I turned and saw that Jane had her eyes locked on her. Then, Rebekah jumped up and grabbed Jane by the throat as she threw her back against a wall.
"I've been around a long time, doll. You are going to have to try a lot harder than that," she hissed.
Janes eyes grew wide in fright and pain as she started stuttering out apologizes. Aro interfered quickly, "Rebekah leave her alone, please. She did not realize. She was just trying to protect me."
"Protect you from what, Aro? Me?" She spat and turned back to Jane, "Listen you little bitch. Either you are stupid, or just naïve. I am leaning towards naïve because surely you would not try and challenge one of The Four, when you know what we are capable of."
The Four?
I cowered back towards Edward in fright.
I want to leave. Please, someone get us out of here soon.
Jane was sobbing by this point as Rebekah continued to squeeze her neck, "I will let go now, but do not ever cross me again or you might not be so lucky now."
She let go of Jane, and Jane collapsed to the ground withering. I looked around the room and noticed that every person in the room was crouching back to the nearest wall. Alice ran back to Edward and me, and looked at Edward with scared eyes. He nodded and I could tell they were having a private conversation that I would have to ask Alice about later.
Aro chose that moment to speak up, "Edward, Bella, Alice, you are free to go. Please wait until sundown to leave the castle, we do not want any more unwanted attention from the humans in this city. Rebekah, thank you for your visit. It is much appreciated. Heidi will take you to the room we'd like you to wait in until sundown."
I could tell there was a hidden meaning behind his words. We would not have been able to leave if Rebekah had not shown up.
Rebekah turned to us, "Looks like we have been dismissed. Let's get the fuck out of this haughty establishment."
With that, we all turned to leave and I held onto Edwards arm as tight as I could. Rebekah walked ahead of us and it was obvious she knew where she was going. She led us to a room that had a huge couch, loveseat, and a desk.
Rebekah sat down next to Alice on the couch and that left Edward and I on the loveseat. I knew being this close to him would make it worse when he left again, but at this point I did not care. I was going to take what I could get.
"Shit, I am so thirsty. Heidi, can I have a taste?" Rebekah laughed.
"Rebekah," Edward hissed.
"What the hell? I just saved your life, your sisters life, and your mates life. I am tired, I ran here all the way from Paris after someone in the informed me that some of the Cullen's were in Volterra. You should be thanking me, I barely made it to save your lives and I need a drink, now." Rebekah snarled back.
Mate?
"Please, not in front of us."
"Okay. Whatever," Rebekah amended and turned to Heidi, "Get me a blood bag. O positive."
"Who informed you we were here?" Alice questioned.
"I have eyes and ears everywhere, psychic. Everyone wants to be on my good side, too bad there isn't one."
Once Heidi brought in a drink for Rebekah, I turned to Edward and noticed his appearance.
"You look tired. And hungry," I whispered.
"It's not a big deal, I'm doing okay. The happiness I am feeling right now overrides all of my other emotions."
"Happiness? This makes you happy?"
"Being with you makes me happy, Bella. Always." Edward said.
What? Then why did you leave me
After he said that we all settled into an awkward silence.
"Well, this blows. I was at least hoping to get to kill someone."
"Sorry for the disappointment, Rebekah. Maybe next time," Edward said sarcastically.
"Hopefully there isn't a next time. I do not like pissing off The Volturi, especially over a human. Is she worth all of this trouble?"
"Yes," Edward growled.
I am not.
"Okay. Calm down, killer. So, you guys live in Forks now? Boring, isn't it? I was there once in the 50's, hated every second of it. Luckily, the townsfolk were very… juicy," she smirked.
"They don't live there anymore, they moved months ago." I mumbled.
"We will be moving back soon, Carlisle should be able to get his job back," Edward said with confidence.
I looked up in confusion and he leaned down to whisper in my ear, "I will explain soon, my love." He looked towards Rebekah again and said, "Thank you, by the way. You saved us in there, I do not know how we will repay you."
"I did not do it for you," Rebekah said solemnly.
"Ah, yes. I will make sure Carlisle knows that you helped us."
"Carlisle? How is he?" Rebekah whispered with a pain looked on her face.
"Carlisle is doing great! Him and Esme are very happy," Alice said enthusiastically.
Rebekah looked very jaded as she turned towards Alice, "I guess I am glad to hear that. Well, it has been fun boys and girls, but I must get back to Paris. There's a very fierce grimoire I am dying to get my hands on."
Grimoire?
With that, she disappeared. I must have had a look of confusion on my face because Edward laughed and said, "She is a witch, Bella. A very powerful one at that. The most powerful one on the planet."
"Witch? Aren't those mythical?"
"Vampires aren't? Werewolves aren't? It seems like everything you once thought was just in fairytales is actually real."
"She's not just a witch," Alice smirked mysteriously. "She's also a vampire, one of the oldest ever."
"How could she leave? It's still daylight,"
"Her necklace. She spelled it so that the sun does not affect her like it does us," Edward informed me.
"Tell me more."
"I will later, when we are home. Carlisle knows her history better than me."
So, they are going to tell me her history then leave me again.
"Carlisle?" I asked, "How does Carlisle know about her?"
"Because, she's in love with him," Edward stated.
A/N:
So… are you guys still liking it?
I know. A new character but that makes it fun, huh? In my head, I imagine Rebekah to be a lot like Katherine in the vampire diaries. She even kind of quoted her earlier in the chapter. If you know which quote it was, go ahead and let me know in the reviews.
I never know when to stop the chapters, so let me know if you guys are wanting longer or shorter ones!
