Chosen Part 1: Chapter 7
EDITED: JULY 26, 2011
Jacob's POV:
'I was officially freaking out. Bella left a week ago to go save her precious bloodsucker. A week. She's been gone a week and I haven't heard from her, nothing! She could be dead for all I know.'
Jake man, calm. She's probably okay. -Embry
Yeah, or maybe he had her for breakfast! -Quil
'Shut up guys!'
Sorry- Quil and Embry
Boys, meet at Emily's now- Sam
Minutes later, eight wolves stood in front of Emily's house. The second biggest one nodded and they all raced in different directions. Out of the woods came eight people, all barely dressed. They walked into Emily's, each grabbing multiple blueberry muffins and going to sit in the living room.
"So, Jake. Did Bella say where she was going?" Sam said, his dark eyes focused on me.
"Yeah, she said Italy. Vol-Volta something." I said. I watched as Sam's face went from questioning to a look of horror.
"Everyone stay here" Then Sam got up and left us all sitting on the floor. Embry and Quil decided to arm wrestle. Jared was probably thinking of Kim. Paul was flexing his muscles, the big idiot. Leah was playing with a strand of her hair. Seth got bored and turned on the television, watching some random show where this cheerleader got pregnant and her boyfriend joined a singing club.
"Guys." Sam called. We all looked up. "Tonight there will be a bonfire, everyone must attend, no extras." Then he left, shedding his clothes and running into the forest, heading towards Forks.
Charlie's POV:
Bella had been gone for a week. Went down to Jacksonville to see Renee. I called there, but no one was home. I hope she's okay.
I went to the kitchen, the yellow cabinets looking moldy, and waddled over to the fridge. Fish. That's all we had. God, I missed Bells.
Ding Dong. Doorbell. I went over, unlocked the door and saw Sam Uley. He looked shaken.
"Charlie, I know this is short notice, but we're having a bonfire tonight. You should come, it involves Bella." Sam finished, and then ran into the woods before I could tell him Bella was in Jacksonville. I shook my head, crazy kid. I grabbed a beer and got comfy on the couch, the game was starting.
Jacob's POV (Later that night):
"Bella Swan is at this moment at the home of the Kings of our mortal enemy. If she stays there, she will surely turn into one of them." Sam's voice drifted over each of us, the fire making his figure more menacing. I looked around the circle; everyone was shaking at the thought of bloodsuckers.
"We have the choice: go to Volterra, Italy to save Bella, or stay here and let her become one of them. What do you guys think?"
"Hell yeah we're gonna go find her!" Jared.
"Bells is our little sis" Embry and Quil.
"Let's go". Paul.
"I miss her." Seth.
"Whatever, let's save the leech lover" Leah.
"What about you, Jacob?" Sam asked. I felt them all take a deep breath. They probably thought I was going to breakdown. She left me to save him. I loved her yet she still left. Why should I help her? But my heartbeat gave me away.
"So it's settled. Tomorrow we head to Volterra, Italy." Sam announced, and then walked away. The rest did the same as I sat on my log. I stared into the flames late into the night until the coals burned out.
Esme's POV:
I ran.
I ran at my full speed of 250mph. The trees flew through my vision, always moving closer and closer to me. I looked behind me to see a fire trailing my path. It swerved left and right, seconds behind me. I pushed myself harder, my legs tingling with the speed. I looked back, the fire wasn't there. I sighed in relief, but didn't slow down; the fire was still out there.
Before I could stop, I slammed into an immovable wall. I screamed out in pain as I fell backwards. The fire stood above me as I let out another ear-splitting scream.
"CARLISLE!"
Bella's POV:
"Bella!" Someone screamed in my ear. I moaned as two figures jumped on my bed.
"Up sleepy head, we waited six hours for this!" They screamed again. Sighing I got up and grabbed the clothes Heidi held out to me while Chelsea pushed me to the shower.
Heidi and Chelsea had become my best friends since I had been in Volturi. The two had made me feel the most welcome out of the guard and seemed to have no trouble with their bloodlust.
I stood under the running water, letting the feeling wash over me for a few minutes. The week finally caught up to me. I left Edward for Alec. Alec was my mate. I wonder if Edward knew... he would've had to, he could read everyone's thoughts.
The realization took me a minute.
"THAT BASTARD!" I screamed. I felt a fire start within me, who was he to keep me from my mate? The girls knocked on the door, threatening to knock it down. I sighed, getting out of the shower and putting on the ridiculous clothes, trying to hide my anger.
When I walked back in my room, there were a total of four crazy vampires on the bed. Heidi, Chelsea, Jane, and Rosalie.
"Bella it's time-
"For some serious-
"SHOPPING!" They all screamed. How wonderful! Jane looked as excited as I did, yet she smiled and gave me a wicked look. Heidi and Rosalie each grabbed one of my arms and started dragging me down the hundreds of stairs in the castle. Before we got down to the garage, we stopped to say bye to the guys. I kissed Alec on the cheek while Rose hugged Emmett, smiling coyly at Demetri over his shoulder. I snickered, but passed it off as a cough.
Then we jumped into Heidi's car and set out for my worst nightmare.
Aro's POV:
After a calm night, I called a meeting. Myself, my brothers and Carlisle met in one of the back rooms. I sat on the couch, waiting for Carlisle to speak.
"Why is Edward your prisoner? Why is he and Alice locked up?" He said, rather professionally.
"My old friend, they are locked up because they threatened to expose our secret, we can't have that can we?" I cocked my head to the side, a smirk on my face.
"How can they be let go?" He asked. I internally chuckled at his care for these two, the love he showed. How naïve; how human.
"Well, Alice has no choice but to join the Volturi for a minimum of fifty years. She's the one that brought the human to us. She is the one that exposed us to Bella."
"And Edward?"
"Ah, young Edward. One of my guard members has requested that he stay here, under the pretext that she loves him. If he accepts, he will be placed under one of the guard's care, at least until we're sure he won't be a liability anymore. If he denies, he must die, as was his request." I smirked, knowing Carlisle was looking for a loophole.
"There are no other options." Caius put in, his tone bored. Carlisle nodded.
"Okay, I see there is no way out." Carlisle said. "Now I'm sorry this is short notice, but I must go back to Esme."
"Very well, old friend, have a nice journey." We shook hands. Carlisle was worried about Esme being in Forks alone, how interesting. He nodded once more then ran out the doors and out of the castle.
"Now, we must go see young Edward."
Alice's POV:
The dungeon was making me go crazy. I had no escape. Felix and Demetri came every other day, throwing half-rotten animals in our cells. I refused to drink, so my eyes were pitch black with thirst.
The visions came regularly now. Always a few hours apart and always filled with horrors to come.
I felt the familiar tug in my mind. I closed my eyes tight, ready for the worst.
Esme lay on a forest floor. The sunlight illuminated the thousands of teeth marks down her body. Her normally perfect hair was littered with twigs and blood. She screamed out in horror as a figure surrounded by a familiar fire stood over her.
I screamed as the vision ended abruptly. The venom pooled behind my eyes as my body was shaking with sobs. Esme, my mother, was going to die.
I heard Edward gasp as he read my mind. I broke down into more desperate sobs.
Edward's POV:
When I felt Alice go into a vision, I waited patiently. I knew she hated it when I saw her visions. When it ended, I heard Alice break down into sobs. Panicked, I looked into her thoughts.
Esme! I let out a gasp, which made Alice sob even more. I wanted to sob too, but tried to stay strong for Alice. The venom welled up in my eyes for the second time since I arrived here.
"Alice, it-"
"Oh, look here! Two crying prisoners; how delightful!" Aro gleefully announced. I whipped my head in his direction. A sadistic smile was plastered on his face, while Marcus and Caius stood behind him, seemingly bored.
"Aro, just tell the boy." Marcus said, examining his fingernails.
"Okay, very well. You know the deal, Edward. If you accept, you will be put under her care until you're ready to accept your new life. If not, you die." Aro looked giddy, like this was some sort of circus show. Sadistic bastard, I thought.
"Will I be able to see Bella?"
"That is up to Bella and Alec." He replied.
"I accept" I said, my heart heavy. Aro smiled then unlocked the cell door.
"Edward, NO!" Alice screamed, but I ignored her, walking out of my cell and placing my hand in Aro's.
"What about you, Alice my dear?" Aro asked head cocked to the side.
"Never" she spat.
"Very well. Goodbye for now, my dear. Come Edward." Aro replied; then left, Marcus and Caius dragging me out after him. Alice broke down into more sobs, but I refused to look back.
They led me to a corridor with dozens of doors. The guard rooms. They stopped outside a door painted black with dark blue stripes. Aro knocked. She opened the door and nodded her head. The three kings left. She looked at me, smirking.
"Hello, Edward" She said with a scary looking smile on her face.
"Hello..."
A/N: So what do you think? Any confusion ;)
