Felix POV
"Let's get this over with." Alec said walking into the cell room. "Chelsea, would you start the fire please."
"Of course." She walked over to the large fire pit and started to build the fire to destroy the pest hitting on my wife.
Demetri and I grabbed the newborn-who's name I hadn't even bothered to learn- and held him down as he awaited his death.
"This is for hitting on my wife." I growled and ripped off his left arm. He howled in pain and I knew Jane would be smiling with satisfaction.
"This is for annoying my cousin." Demetri ripped his right arm off. Dem was like a cousin to Jane.
"And this is for every perverse thing you said to my sister." Alec ripped his head off and we threw him in the fire. Dem and I started back upstairs after our duties were done.
"Thank you gentlemen." Aro said as we walked out of the throne room. I started to go to mine and Jane's room. She was sitting on the chair reading a book. She looked up and gave a small smile.
"Take care of the pest?" She asked.
"Of course. He didn't even try to fight back. It was quite boring." I laughed.
"Of course it was. You always say that it's boring when they don't fight back."
"Because it is!" I whined. "I haven't seen a good fight since 1973 when there was a newborn attack in Greece."
"It's ok hunny." She said and patted me on the head. I gave her a kiss on the lips and walked outside to the forest to hunt.
Bella POV
It was dark. I was running through the halls of the castle when all of a sudden, I bumped into someone. Alec turned around and grabbed my shoulders.
"Bella, you have to run. Get out of the castle. Take my car and get out of the city. She's back!" He said panicked, shaking me slightly.
"Who's back Alec?"
"The red head. She's back to kill you. You have to go!"
I stood there shocked and scared to death. Alec threw me the keys to his car. Then, I was sprinting. I got in the car and took off as fast as I could. I could see Victoria catching up to me. Alec, Felix, Demetri, Jane and Aro close behind.
Victoria extended her arm out as she got closer to the car and it came it a halt. She came over to my door and bit me.
I woke up screaming. Alec must have heard me because he was by my side in an instant.
"Bella, shhh. It's me, Alec. It's okay. You're okay." He said trying to calm me. "I knew I shouldn't have told you that story."
"No. It didn't have anything to do with that." I said sobbing into his shirt.
"Then what was it? Would you like to tell me? Maybe that will help."
"Well, I went to watch Edward and his family play baseball one time. And these three nomadic vampires showed up. James was a tracker. He tried to get me, so we made this plan to catch and kill him. After we did, his mate Victoria said that she would get revenge. And she's been after me since. And I had a nightmare that she found me and she killed me."
"So, this Victoria person is an actual person?"
"Yes. She won't stop until she gets me."
"Bella, we won't let anything happen to you. I promise. Do you want me to request I take the rest of the night off to stay with you?"
"Would you do that for me?"
"Yes. Of course. I'm sure Aro will understand."
"Ok." I smiled up at him.
Alec left and was back a minute later. Alec laid on my bed next to me, bringing me close to him as I lay my head on his chest.
"Aro allowed me to switch shifts with Jane for the rest of the week until after your transformation is complete."
"Thank you." I whispered. I slowly drifted back into unconsciousness.
I woke up still a little traumatized from last nights nightmare. But all my fears were soon gone when I realized that Alec was still in the place he had promised to be.
"You stayed." I laughed and smiled.
"Of course I did. I didn't want to leave you in case something happened again."
I gave him a quick kiss on the lips and sat up on my bed.
"When does your shift start?"
"In about an hour. Jane will keep you company. I'll be done at 5. Then we can go out like every other night and you can enjoy your last night of humanity."
My last night of humanity. I thought to myself. Oh of course I would have to enjoy it. Getting to enjoy the last moments of sleep, the last bites of food, the last of plain, old Bella. However, I was also ready to be a vampire. Ready to spend eternity with Alec, with my new family. I was ready to be a whole new person. Tomorrow, Alec would change me and I would suffer the burning pain of becoming a vampire, but somehow I knew that it was worth it.
Alec left to get ready for his shift. I showered and did some school work. Jane came in to keep me company and we talked for a while.
"So you really like my brother, don't you?" Jane asked.
I smiled, "Yes I do. A lot."
"Well Bella, I'm happy that he is happy. And I know that he really does like you. Aro reads his thoughts, and all he thinks about is you."
"Really?"
"Yes, really." She smiled. "He does all the time. I ask what he is so happy about. And it's always the same answer. Bella. You have totally made him the happiest I have ever seen him."
I smiled. "Thanks for telling me that Jane. I appreciate that a lot."
"You're welcome Bella."
Alec walked in then and gave a small kiss on the lips to greet me. "Thanks Jane." He said, looking lovingly into my eyes, and I in his.
"Of course." And she walked out.
"You ready?" He asked.
"Yeah."
We headed out to the garage getting in his car.
"So how was your day?"
"Not to bad. Jane is great company."
"Good. I figured she would be."
"Yes she is."
We pulled up to a small restaurant. Alec went over to my side and helped me out of the car, just like he had every other night, being the gentleman that he is. We walked in and were greeted by the hostess.
"Two?" She asked.
"Yes." Alec replied.
She led us to our table and handed us the menus. A minute later, the waitress came by, clearly interested in Alec.
"Hello. My name is Kaley and I will be your server tonight. Is there anything I can get you to drink?" This question was more directed towards Alec.
"Water." We both said at the same time. Kaley nodded and walked off towards the kitchen, stealing a glance back at our table.
"You know she was checking you out, right?"
"Yes. But I'm not interested of course."
"Yes, I know. And I trust you." I said looking into his eyes. I hadn't really gotten the chance to get a good look at him. I noticed his bright red eyes that I could just melt in, his full lips, pale vampire skin, and his brown hair that seemed to fall in his face from time to time. Never had I thought that I deserved a man as beautiful as him, although I had also thought that about another man that was once in my life.
Kaley came back with our waters and looked at us as we had come closer across the table.
"May I ask what you would like to eat?" She asked this without so much as a glance in my direction, her eyes keeping focus on Alec with flirtatious eyes.
"Yeah, I'll have the Chicken Tetrazzini." I said and she wrote it down on her notepad and looked to Alec again.
"I won't have anything, thank you." Alec said as he did every night.
"Okay. I will be right back with your order." She took our menus and walked away.
Alec and I sat in silence for a moment until he broke the silence.
"Bella, can I ask you a question without you getting mad at me?"
"Of course. What is it?"
"What brought you to the Volturi? Why do you wish to become a you-know-what?" Full curiosity was on his face. I only hoped my answer wouldn't upset him. Yes, he knew about mine and Edward's relationship, but not the true reason why I came here.
