A lot happens in a week;

168 hours happen in a week

7 days pass in a week

A lot of people die and even more people are born in a week

The sun rises and sets 7 times in a week

The Volturi were in Forks for a week before they made their intention known.

I hadn't spoken to Embry since that day at the beach in a week and Alec and I had been have the weird insulting encounters that somehow made Embry's absent okay.

But now we all found ourselves sitting around in the living room while Aro spoke.

"We're going to take her with us to Volterra for six months and in that time if a…Relationship doesn't evolve with Alec we will bring her back to you, with a year time frame for you to change her."

He wasn't asking questions, or permission. He was stating what was going to happen.

All of my family were in uproar at this, standing but not having the mental strength to fight with someone who controlled them.

"What about school?" I asked liking the idea of avoiding Embry and his gangly group of dogs for six months.

"We will get you a tutor, since you don't know Italian to attend public school there."

"Khloe, you can't be seriously considering this!" Emmett finally spoke up.

"I don't think he's asking Em, I'm not going to let my family die for me."

"Khloe.." Esme started to speak.

"No, Esme its six months and I'll be back, it was going to come down to this eventually the older I got. I would have asked to be changed after I finished school anyways. With this it's a guarantee that someone will do it,"

"She is a smart girl," Aro spoke as his creepy child eating smile spread across his face again.

That conversation was a week ago.

I'd left Forks and my family exactly one hour ago after lots of shed tears on my part, since vampires can't cry; the goodbye and I love you's replayed in my mind the whole ride to the airport and as we boarded the private plane.

"Pick any seat you'd like my dear,"

At least someone was excited about this situation, ecstatic was a better word.

Taking a seat in the very back I slipped my earphones into my ears and quickly felt myself drifting to sleep, but not before Alec took a seat across the aisle from me and a few words past out of both of our mouths.

"Do you have to sit by me?" I asked trying my hardest to sound rude and upset by the fact he was by me.

"Do you have to breath?" he replied as quickly as his vampire voice allowed him.

After what seemed like minutes but must have been hours I felt something cold touching my face. Immediately I jumped to attention remembering where I was.

Aro was once again in front of me with his hand reached out to my face.

"Welcome to Volterra my princess…"


AN: I know this is short but its a little bit of a filler to get the story rolling. Let me know what you think!
