Chapter Three
Luchianna's P.O.V.
The room was simple, elegant even. It was so different from the room I stayed in while I was in Volterra, but at the same time there was something that screamed money.
I couldn't point out what it was; the silk sheets maybe, or the beautiful still life hung on the wall, but there was a subtle extravagance about the whole room.
I stood just inside the door as Bella walked in a sat my dirty travel bag on the pristine carpet by the foot of the bed, and held my groan of dismay as the cleanliness of the room seemed tarnish by the dirtiness of my pack.
As if she heard my near silent sign of distress Bella shot a concerned look in my direction, but then after a moment understanding replaced her concern.
"Don't worry about the dirt Luchia, we can get it cleaned up later."
"How did you…" and then it hit me. While Vampires had the ability to hear things from a distance, Humans did not retain that particular gift. With narrowed eyes all the focus that I had to hiss a thought in my mind: Do-Not-Divulge-The-Thoughts-From-My-Mind-Without-My-Express-Permission-First!
I made sure to put weight behind each word, infusing them with every fiber of my annoyance and anger.
Once I was positive that my message had been received I walked further into the bedroom and sat on the bed.
"Are you tired?" Bella's question was quick, concerned.
With a smile I shook my head and turned to look around the room. "I think I just want to get settled. I'll be staying here for a while, so I should probably unpack."
With a nod Bella continued to hoover, unsure.
"Would you may be like some help? I remember when I just moved to forks to live with my dad, all I wanted was to be alone…"
I smiled at Bella as I nodded my assent.
"I would love some help. To be honest, I've got a lot of junk in this pack of mine, sketches, dirty clothes, gifts that I wanted to send to Rene, and a whole bunch of other stuff."
"Right, just tell me where you want everything, and I'll help."
I quickly instructed Bella to place my sketches and art supplies on the large desk that was in the room, the dirty clothes could go in the hamper by the door, and trash could go in the waste basket.
It wasn't long before we had everything organized, maybe an hour or two, and I held the gifts for mom and dad, and a few of my close friends.
"So I'm supposed to be in Italy, how am I going to get these to the people back home?"
"That won't be a problem." a bell like voice exclaimed from the doorway. Looking up I saw a pixie like brunette stood staring at me smile in place.
"And why is that?" my voice was curious as I stood next to Bella who was looking from Alice to me.
"We have guest on the way; friends of yours I think." She exclaimed. Walking into the room she held out a hand to me smile in place. "I'm Alice, Bella's sister-in-law. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Thanks, I'm Luchia."
"Yes, I know. So maybe we should invite you to the rest of the family, at least those who are here."
"Sure." I exclaimed letting out a breath I had no idea I had been holding.
