"My my it seems someone has done our work for us" a small female with pale brown hair was in the center of four other vampires in cloaks similar to the one she wore. Her crimson eyes scanned the scene before her.
Sakura stood upright with the feeling that this wasn't going to be a good visit. Bella whispered to Sakura, "Who are they?" never taking her eyes off of the pale childlike girl who had spoken first.
"We are the Volturi" the girl answered for Sakura.
CHAPTER 7
ONLY MONDAY Part 2
Silence followed the answer the girl had given Bella. Bella remembered being told something about the Volturi during her human years. It had been he who had first told Bella. She remembered that much. She also remembered that Carlisle had been living with them for a number of years but couldn't remember the names of the three she had seen in a picture in the Cullen home. Their faces however, she did remember. Bella idly wondered why they hadn't showed up instead.
The cloaked vampires stared with blank expressions on their faces. The small girl in the center took a step forward. Instinctively Sakura stiffened, Bella took a step back and Ichigo clenched his fists. The wolves were now standing behind their allied vampires causing the childlike vampire to raise an eyebrow, "Interesting" she then turned her gaze to Sakura, "Hello Sakura"
Sakura kept her voice even, "Hello Jane"
"I must say it is a pleasant surprise to find you here. Aro will be pleased to know your latest location. How is your sister?"
"She is well thank you" Sakura ignored the Aro comment.
"Hm" Jane looked at the purple smoke coming out of the fire. "I take it you took care of the situation"
Sakura nodded.
"And who might your… friends be?" Jane rested her eyes on Bella.
"How rude of me" Sakura bowed showing her Japanese nature, "This is Isabella my new sister" she motioned to Bella on her right, "And this is Ichigo a friend from my country" she motioned to her left where Ichigo stood.
"The wolves?" Jane questioned.
"They are friends"
"Friends" Jane toyed with the word amused by it. "Aro will find this most interesting won't he?"
A hooded figure nodded, "Most interesting" his smooth voice reached their ears easily. He let his hood fall slightly, enough for them to see him smiling at them. Bella stared at him. She noted that he was thick and tall like a certain Emmett Cullen was. Noticing Bella staring at him he winked at her causing her to glance back at the small Jane.
"Well…" she surveyed her surroundings again. "We must go home now seeing as our services aren't needed here but I must ask" she looked back at Sakura, "how many were there?"
Sakura shrugged, "I'd say around thirty"
"Thirty?" her eyes widened.
"Yes the newborns were out of control. Easy to take down" Sakura confirmed.
"And the creator?"
"Dead" Sakura replied.
"I assume you dealt with her personally"
"It was a collaboration between Isabella and I" she motioned to Bella.
"You are teaching her?" Jane frowned.
"Yes"
Jane's eyes narrowed at Sakura. "Hm… and would you happen to know why these vampires attacked? There are no more local vampires, no one to claim the land"
The wolves growled. Jane smiled, "No one of our kind that is" she added.
Bella knew that she had referred to the Cullens. Sakura smiled, "I will be the local vampire here as long as Isabella is here"
Jane's eyes turned to Bella, "I see" she sized Bella up, "And how long do you Isabella" her name was spoken maliciously "intend to stay here?"
Bella thought about Charlie and the wolves. Sure they had accepted them at first because she's the daughter of their close family friend then because she was going to help destroy Victoria. But would they accept her now? Now that Victoria was gone why would they continue to allow them on the reservation? Even if they didn't she would still be able to see Charlie which was the reason she had come back to begin with. "I intend to stay for a long time"
Jane raised an eyebrow, "You have explained the rules to her haven't you Sakura?" her eyes didn't leave Bella.
"Of course" Sakura replied.
"Did you forget to mention that you cannot reveal what you are to the humans?"
"Why would you ask that?" Sakura froze, her thoughts flashing to Bella's father.
"It is obvious" Jane smirked.
'Oh no… Don't tell me…' Sakura frowned. "I don't understand"
Jane rolled her eyes, "you cannot stay in one place for too long or else the humans will notice. Unless you plan on living in a cave" Jane smiled at her own humor.
Sakura relaxed, "I'll make sure to relocate us when the time comes. Besides, we both know that if a human knew about the supernatural world you of all people, the Volturi would know"
Jane eyed her for a second, "Good. Now I must say goodbye. Aro will be delighted when he hears you will be here for a 'long time'" she quoted Bella in a slightly mocking tone.
'She's not even trying to hide that she doesn't like Bella' Sakura noted. For a moment Sakura had thought that maybe Bella and Jane already knew each other but the possibility of that was slim. Besides, Jane wouldn't have asked who she was if she did know her right? Then it must be because…
"Would you like me to convey a message to Aro for you?" Jane's voice was sweet as if knowing something bad would happen to Sakura once Aro got a hold of her.
"Would you send him my regards?"
Jane turned, "Of course dear Sakura" the last two words were a bit angry. "Lets go home"
The three vampires and wolves watched the Volturi depart. When they were far enough not to hear what was being said Bella turned to Sakura, "You didn't tell me you knew them"
"it's a long story" Sakura frowned.
"You know you haven't told me much about your past"
"You know I'm from Japan"
"Yea"
"And that I have a sister"
"That's not fair" she crossed her arms.
"Bella please not now" Sakura didn't like to talk about her past and Bella knew it. She didn't know why Bella was suddenly interested again.
"Okay can you at least tell me why Jane was mad when you answered yes to her question if your teaching me?"
Sakura rolled her eyes. Ichigo chuckled, "She's just sore because Sakura here wouldn't train her when she was liv-"
He was cut off when Sakura froze his lips together. "I like you better with your mouth shut"
Ichigo scratched the back of his head. The wolves were confused as to who the Volturi were. When things were all cleaned up the wolves now in their humans forms occupied the inside of Sam's home eating their fill of whatever Emily, Sam's beloved fiancé was cooking up. The vampires were currently in Billy's home talking about their past experiences and all that to alleviate the mood of having just killed a number of beings. Charlie rested on the couch with Bella at his side after a brief questioning of what had happened and if she was uharmed. Sakura stayed by the door enjoying the breeze when it came through since it didn't smell of dog. Yuna and Ichigo made small complaints about the smell loud enough to only the vampires in the room could hear. Kairi was the only one who seemed relaxed with the fact of huge wolves roaming about.
"So when are you girls coming home?" Yuna questioned Bella and Sakura.
Bella noticed Charlie shift to his left while frowning, "I am home"
"Eh?" Yuna was confused.
"This is where I spent the most important year of my human life" Bella grabbed her dads hand. As a human this would have been awkward to do and even more awkward to admit the fact about her human life. As a vampire however she was slightly more confident and Sakura had helped her show it at times.
"So your from Forks huh?" Yuna placed a hand on her chin. "Wow, Didn't know you came from so far, human wise I mean"
"Human wise?" Charlie wondered.
Yuna chuckled, "Apologies, I mean to you humans the world seems bigger than to us vampires"
Charlie still didn't like that Bella wasn't in the 'humans' category anymore. But what could he say now? There's nothing her could do now but deal with it. Especially if he wanted more time with Bella in his life.
"Well in any way I'm going to stay here as long as my dad is" Bella glanced at her dad smiling.
He returned the smile, "Really?"
"Yeah"
"I'll have to clean up your room"
"No need dad"
"She doesn't sleep" Yuna muttered under her breath. She wouldn't admit it but apart from being jealous at their father daughter relationship Bella and Charlie seemed happy which didn't make sense considered one was a human! Yuna shook her head lightly. She just couldn't believe this. As a vampire who actually drank human blood she refused to see it as 'I'm going to make friends with my food' like Bella seemed to. Though to her credit the 'food' in this case was her dad.
Sakura cast a glare in Yuna's direction, "Knock it off" she muttered in reply to which Yuna turned her head. Sakura chuckled, 'how childish'
"At any rate" Sakura cut in, "I'll be staying wherever Bella wants to stay" Billy didn't look too comfortable with this.
Bella turned to her sister, "This is great. I finally get what I want"
Sakura raised an eyebrow, "Which is?"
"My family together although mom is…"
Billy coughed then motioned his head from Charlie to Bella. "Aren't you going to tell her?"
"Tell me what?" Bella frowned.
"Bella" Charlie didn't want to be in this position right now, "Renee is in the hospital. Her body cant take anymore. She's dying Bella"
"What?" Bella froze.
"There was a car accident and… well a drunk driver…" Charlie went on but Bella didn't listen. How could he have not told her? When had it happened? Why did he keep it from her? Last he spoke of her on Saturday Renee was fine and living with her second husband Phil.
"Bella? Bella!" Sakura grabbed her sisters shoulders.
After a few minutes Bella spoke, "Now I see what he meant"
"huh?" Sakura was taken back by her words.
"Humans… are so fragile. She was taken away so easily. I… couldn't stand if I… if I…" Bella let out choking noises sobbing into Sakura's chest. Charlie awkwardly held his arms out for Bella to sob into him which she did. Sakura frowned, 'it wasn't long ago that only I comforted her' Charlie stroked Bella's hair holding her tightly in his arms.
"I'll give you two a moment" Sakura stepped outside taking the other vampires with her.
When they were outside it was quiet. The only sounds that were heard were Bella's cries. Sakura inwardly cringed at the sounds. She didn't want to see Bella that way. The human Bella she knew had cried constantly for her parents and the Cullens but the vampire Bella had proven to be stronger. Or at least she put up a strong front.
Yuna crossed her arms seeing Sakura with her head down. It just wasn't like her to ever look like that. "Are you really the Sakura I met in Japan?"
Sakura looked up to see Yuna while trying to hide the tortured expression on her face. Bella's cries still hadn't ceased and it pained her to know she couldn't do anything about it to make her stop, and at the moment she couldn't even comfort her seeing as her father was there now. "Huh?"
"You were strong. You never looked defeated like you do now. You gave me strength" her nostrils flared and her voice rising. "And now" she took a step towards Sakura, "because you helped that… that HUMAN… then changed her…"
"Yuna" Kairi felt Yuna was going too far if she insulted Bella.
Ichigo placed a hand on Kairi's shoulder, "leave her"
Kairi stared at him in disbelief, "But…"
"I just…" Sakura looked towards inside the house, "you know I don't like feeling… useless. I'm out of my league here"
"what?" Yuna was surprised. Sakura always had an idea of what to do. After all of the life spans of a human that she had lived she had learned a lot. You would think someone like Sakura would always know what to do.
"Nothing" Sakura looked away from the house. "Bella is going to be happy here and I will be by her side as a true sister"
Inside Bella's sobs were slowly stopping. Few minutes later they all heard Bella say, "I promise you I wont hurt you dad"
"Bella?" Charlie was confused.
Then she came out walking at a fast pace. Sakura was about to go after her but two of the wolf boys arrived. Sakura knew them as Jacob and Sam. She guessed the others were still eating their fill. Sam stopped Bella, "We need to talk about the treaty if you really will be staying here"
Bella nodded then muttered, "Give me a few minutes okay?" then she ran into the surrounding trees.
Sam stared after her while Jacob stared accusingly at Sakura and her friends behind her, "what did you leeches do?"
"Excuse me?" Sakura blanked out before realizing that he must of thought that they had made Bella sad. She then balled up her fists, "We didn't make her upset you moronic dog" venom filled her mouth.
Jacob growled in response and surprise.
Sakura hated how he could think that. She was her sister for crying out loud! "I will never hurt her" then she ran into the woods after Bella. And even though there was no way Sakura could know, and she didn't know about Jacob attacking Bella those words seemed to hit Jacob harder than any hit she could have inflicted at that moment. Jacob clenched his fists watching Sakura run to catch up with Bella.
"Bella! Where are you?" Sakura called out running through the trees.
"Here" Bella replied sitting on a large boulder.
Sakura looked over at Bella who seemed in thought, "What's wrong?"
Bella chuckled, "My mother is gravely injured and you ask me what's wrong?" her tone a bit sarcastic and angry.
"Your right stupid question" Sakura knew that sometimes it was good to just agree if only to pacify the person for a little bit. Thing was, Sakura didn't understand hence her question. Why would Bella make a big deal out of it? Not to be a well… bitch but didn't it make more sense that if her mother was injured that Bella would want to go see her instead of sulking like this? It seemed pointless.
They sat in silence for a few minutes enjoying the clean air away from wolves and humans. The strongest scent here was the scent of rain, moist dirt and the scent the leaves of the trees and plants gave off. Bella sighed, "My mom got hurt because of a car…"
Sakura stayed silent knowing Bella would continue without any prodding. She would most likely lost her incentive and stop talking altogether if Sakura cut in now.
"I'm stronger than a car…" Bella nodded to herself, "Stronger…"
Okay so far it didn't make so much sense…
"If I hurt… someone…" she frowned, "with my current strength… someone I love…" she pulled her knees to her chest, "I just cant" her forehead rested on her knees while she looked down and her arms wrapped themselves around her legs.
"You wanted to become strong" Sakura reminded.
"But… is this too strong?"
"You can control yourself Bella. You have the best control I've ever seen. And I've lived for a very long time"
"Sakura?" Bella lifted her head after a few minutes to see her sister. "Can you please tell me something about your past? You know everything about mine but I hardly know anything about yours."
Sakura frowned, 'I should have known she wouldn't let this drop' "Well alright. I'll answer two questions okay?" 'If this is what it takes to make her a bit less upset then I'll deal with it'
Bella nodded.
"But you have to promise me something"
Bella waited.
"No more crying" Sakura waved a finger side to side infront of Bella.
Bella smiled faintly, "okay"
Sakura tucked her legs underneath her, "What do you want to know?" she asked cautiously.
Inside Emily's house
The wolves had finished eating and were now lounging lazily on Sam's couches. Emily proceeded to clean up after them and asked, "What happened out there?"
"We kicked those bloodsuckers' asses that's what!" Paul kicked up his feet on the couches arm rest.
"Sam is going to kill you when he finds out your feet were on his couch" Jared pointed out.
"Tch" Paul let his feet drop onto the floor.
"Idiots" Leah shook her head. "Would someone care to explain to me why there were so many vampires here to begin with?"
"Didn't you pay attention to our thoughts?" Jared asked.
"No" she frowned, "all of your thoughts were focused on killing. It got me riled up since you were thinking on killing vampires. I had found two vampires but they said they were on our side" she snorted.
"Two vampires?" Jared was confused.
"Did you kill them?" Paul asked.
"No they told me and Seth that we needed to help you guys. Seth's dumbass believed them and went off to fight. I didn't trust them so I stayed."
"I'm not a dumbass!" Seth countered.
"You actually let Seth go on his own?" Jared gaped.
"I can defend myself!" Seth was annoyed at how they still treating him as a child who needed taking care of just because he was young. Well, younger than them at least.
"I would have killed them" Paul smugly crossed his arms.
"Didn't they turn out to be Bella's friends?" Jared mused.
"I want to know who those other vampires were? They said something like Volturi right?" Leah wondered.
The wolves nodded, each wondering about the Volturi.
Seth sat crossed legged on the floor, "Well don't we have to go to Billy's house to meet up with Sam about something right now?"
Paul groaned, Jared sighed and Leah nodded. Seth was curious to know more about the vampires but of course didn't say anything since his wolf brethren weren't as accepting as he is. His sister would be sure to do something about his 'friendly' thoughts toward vampires.
