Chapter 3: A Decision

It was twilight, the world out side was calm, tranquil, the day was coming to an end. All of us, all seven of us were sitting at the table in the kitchen. We were gathered there to talk about my problem. They were all so worried about me. "Bella," Carlisle said gravely, "This is your decision to make, if you think you can't handle it then…"

He trailed off then. Nobody spoke.

"So this urge of hers," Rosalie said turning to Carlisle, "have you heard of it before?"

I looked up at Carlisle, he was studying my face, his eyes held a mixture of emotions. However, I didn't see the one I dreaded most, disappointment. "Yes Rosalie," Carlisle said, "During my stay in Italy I learned of what the Volturi call 'la tua cantante', it means 'your singer' because apparently it is as though the person's blood is singing to you. Calling for you."

I sighed, it was exactly like that.

"Hey!" Emmett exclaimed suddenly, "I've felt something like that before!"

Funny, he seemed so excited so excited to share this wonderful experience. I happened to know exactly what the out come was.

"The only two times I ever slipped up!" Emmett announced, "See Rosie, I told you there was a reason I couldn't resist!"

Rosalie gave him a withering look before turning to me. "Do you still hurt now Bella?" She asked looking concerned.

To be honest I wasn't in pain anymore but I could remember what Edward's blood smelt like and-ouch! I cut off that train of thought quickly. It was too painful.

"It only hurts when I think about it," I answered honestly. Carlisle sighed.

"Alice," he said simply. She shook her head defeated. "The future isn't clear, but I do see on one path Bella and this boy getting close, talking and laughing with each other," Alice said hopefully, "Bella maybe that's the idea, maybe you should try to get closer to him, see him as a person and less as a… meal."

"Yes but how do I get close without killing him?" I asked her miserably. She pouted, her eyebrows scrunched together, I knew she was trying to search the future, find me an answer. I felt a wave of calm sweep through me and turned to smile at Jasper next to me.

"Thanks," I muttered gratefully. He simply patted my hand.

"Bella, the only advice I can give is that you hunt more than usual," Carlisle said, "As it is you haven't hunted for a while, that's a little careless, and that goes for all of you." He looked at all us severely. Rosalie raised her eyebrows. "We're usually fine," she said defensively, "we had planned to go hunting tomorrow anyway since Alice said it would be sunny, somehow she didn't manage to foresee Bella's 'singer' but that's hardly our fault!"

"That's not fair Rosalie!" Alice cried angrily, "I don't see everything and I never would have thought something like this would happen, to be honest, this morning I was more worried about Jasper than Bella. All of us were! So don't you blame me Rosalie Hale!"

"All I'm saying is that you could be more careful," Rosalie said casually inspecting the fingernails of her right hand. I didn't like them arguing over this, if it was anyone's fault it was mine. Alice opened her mouth to retort but Esme stood and raised a hand before anyone could say anything else.

"Now let's not fight," she said calmly giving Rose a disapproving glance, "If anything this should be bringing us closer as a family. Bella needs all our support," she glanced around the table, her eyes landing on me, "and this is nobody's fault," she said firmly. I nodded at her and she smiled at me encouragingly.

"Bella have you thought about you want to do?" Carlisle asked softly. I bit my lip and nodded. Looking around the table at my family I knew I was making the right choice. "I really don't want to leave," I said putting as much feeling into my voice as I could, "I'll spend the rest of the week hunting, maybe go further away to look for some bigger prey, next week I'll go back to school. If I can stand it, I'll talk to Edward Masen, try to learn more about him. Hopefully I'll be okay."

The lift of atmosphere in the room was felt by everyone judging by how everyone instantly became more relaxed.

"When will you leave to hunt?" Jasper asked.

"Tonight, I think."

"Want us to come with you Bell?" Emmett asked grinning at me.

I smiled at him. It was so unlike him to be concerned about anything…

"No thanks, I need the time to think, you know?" I said softly and stood, "I'll see you guys in a few days."

Well that's it, hope you liked it please review!
