I'm sorry it's taken so long
I'm sorry it's taken so long! I've been busy but here it is.
"So the girl," Aro started. "Is still human? We ought to insist on immediate change!"
"Maybe we ought to pay them a small visit," Jane contorted her face into a wicked smile. "It should make them hurry up. We cannot allow her to be human much longer."
"Good idea," Aro smirked. "We'll leave at dusk."
'I bet he's read Jasper's mind by now,' Bella thought in horror. 'Or Alice has seen our future.'
Bella Swan was sitting on the Cullen's couch in their comfortable, familiar living room. Alice had had some "important" business to discuss. Thinking of what that business could be made Bella queasy.
Alice's lips were pressed in a thin line, her eyes cold and gloomy. "We need to talk two things over," she barely muttered. "I'm sure you know the first one already."
"It's foggy right now, Bella." She sighed.
"What is?" Bella questioned, confused.
"Your future, but it's easy enough to tell what Jasper admitted is going to stir some trouble." She folded her arms across her chest. "But don't lose sleep; I'm the only one that knows so far, Edward hasn't seen anything yet. Jasper's been careful, and I've closed my mouth."
Bella was silent, unable to find suitable words. "Aren't you…upset?" She raised.
"More than anything," Alice responded. "But I want him to be happy; as Edward would for you."
Again, more silence. "Well, what's the second matter?" Bella inquired, struggling to sound as calm as possible. She tugged nervously at a lose string on her powder blue top, (Edward's favorite on her).
"Jane and Aro are coming," she inhaled, uninterested and exasperated. "They are going to insist on your immediate change."
Alice looked as though she would be crying if possible, but it was hard to tell if it was because of Jasper or the Volturi. Bella couldn't help but guess the first one.
"What's troubling you, love?" Edward asked serenely, his left hand stroking her tousled mess of brunette hair. "You seem…tense; worried."
"Oh, I'm fine," she lied, again grateful that she was the one person who wasn't affected by Edward's powers.
"Are you sure?" Edward asked. "If you're worried about Aro and Jane, I told you I could hide you somewhere and--"
"No, really, it's ok," she insisted. "The worse they can do is persist on me being changed."
"Also remember that they want you to join them, too." Edward reminded.
He inhaled deeply and wrapped his arm around Bella's waist. "Jasper and Alice have been acting edgy lately, too."
Bella attempted to hide the fact that she was deeply flushed. She could barely stand lying to Edward.
This was going to be extremely difficult. Bella had made her decision, but she would be breaking several hearts.
Oooohhh who's heart will Bella be breaking? It's still a mystery and you won't find out for awhile! Also, what's going to happen with the Volturi? Will Bella need to be changed? I'll update soon!
