Disclaimer: Of course it's mine! No… I lied. It's not mine.

Hey! Sorry to everyone that I kept waiting. I had MAJOR writer's block. I couldn't figure out how to write this chapter, but I finally did. It's not long, but it's not short either. AND! School's starting again! So I'll try my best to write fast, but no promises. But there will be a chapter up soon, hopefully. (:

Enjoy!


Previously on Turbulence:

Alice POV.

Jasper and I just arrived in Germany hoping to find Bella. Suddenly, I froze. Colors swept across my eyes and fog clouded them over.

"Argh. I can't take this anymore. High school and college is killing me without socialization," she yelled into the air. "That's it. It's time for a trip to Italy."

Bella packed a small bag and headed to her Ferrari. She hit the highway and began driving around 120 miles per hour. Nearly 200 kilometers per hour. She sped off towards Volterra and made it there by 9 pm.

The fog faded and I was set back to reality.

"Dear, what did you see?" Jasper asked concerned.

"Bella's going to the Volturi, but I don't know if she's going to ask for death, see Aro and them, or ask for a spot in the Volturi."

"Hmm."

"We need to get to Italy fast."

Bella POV.

"Wow, I love this car," I whispered to myself as I ran my hand over the gleaming, blue hood of my Ferrari. I arrived in Volterra by nighttime.

The stars above were glistening and the breeze was calming. I could hear the whispers of the trees and I could smell the leftovers from the dinner that families everywhere.

I walked into the familiar alley that I was in many years ago. I found the place where Edward first pushed me down. I jumped down, but Alice wasn't there to catch me. I put one foot in front of the other until I found that familiar entrance that I was in many years ago.

I heard soft footsteps behind me; one larger man and two smaller vampires. I heard three long black robes drag on the floor. They were all part of the Volturi. I stiffened at every step they took; every step closer to the entrance. I spun around to find myself looking at Aro, Jane, and Alec.



"Bella! How wonderful it is to see you again. This is an unexpected visit, and my, my, you look absolutely stunning as an immortal," Aro stated.

"Why, thank you. It's great seeing you again too," I smiled.

"Well, let's proceed inside shall we?"

"Of course," I replied. "And it's nice to see you two as well, Jane, Alec."

They both nodded under their hoods but didn't say a word. We gracefully walked inside and I saw many of the vampires I met from my last visit.

"Wow, Bella. You look marvelous."

"Thank you, Felix." I graciously accepted the compliment.

"So, Bella," Aro said. "Did you come with anyone?"

He obviously meant Alice and Edward because of their gifts. I laughed, "No, just myself."

"Why?" He put a hand on my shoulder. "Ahh still can't see anything," he chuckled.

"Well, I haven't seen the Cullens in over 50 years, so it makes sense that they didn't arrive here with me today."

"Oh my, 50 years… That is quite insignificant to my life time, but to yours, it must've been dreadfully long. Would you care to explain?"

"Um, if you want me to, I guess."

"Please share," Aro smiled.

And so I started, "Well, I don't want to waste your time really so I'll just go through quickly. Before the first time I came here, another vampire, James, tried to hunt me. Edward saved me and James was killed. Later, his mate, Victoria, came for me. She had an alliance with a strong coven and they held all the Cullens while Victoria nearly killed me. She took me away and changed me without the Cullens knowing. I remembered them after my change since they made such a large impact on my life. I learned to live like Carlisle, and soon after I killed Victoria on my own. I don't know if the Cullens ever found out I was alive, but they never sought me out. So that is how I became to be, so far.

"Before I came here the first time, Edward had left me hoping that I would live a normal life. I had the pain and the hurt bundled up. And even when I did find him here again, the pain remained. And also the night they left me to die with Victoria without trying to save me impacted me on my decisions a lot. Also I was very clumsy, so I often broke bones or sprained something. So I've discovered my special ability. I still have my shield type force that keeps people out of my head, like you, Aro. I also have a power somewhat like Jane's. I can create pain within the mind and throughout the body." As I said the last part, I swear, I could've heard Jane scowl. "And also, recently, I found out, because I can create scars, I can 

heal them as well. I can heal a simple paper cut to a dying soul. As a human, I've always tried to be caring and compassionate so I can try to 'heal' souls and make people feel better.

"So, that's basically it," I concluded. "And I'm trying to stay away from the Cullens for a little bit longer. So if they ever show up, which I doubt, please act like I was never here. Thanks."

I smiled and walked off with Aro quietly.

"Aro, do you think that I might stay here for a little while?"

"Of course, dear Bella."

"I don't want to be a burden or anything, so I could probably do some stuff for all of you."

"We'll talk about your stay here when all the elders get assembled."


A couple hours later, we gathered in the main hall. Aro, Caius, and Marcus were obviously at the head of the table. Everyone was dead silent as they stared at the head of the Volturi.

Aro spoke first. "We have assembled here tonight to cast a vote. My old acquaintance, Bella, has arrived and would like to stay here until she wishes to leave. She has promised not to be a burden. She has also promised that if there were anyway to help us, she would. I cast my vote. Bella is welcomed to stay."

"I think that we have enough people residing in this place. If we add another, that's one more mouth to feed. And we can't have you treating this place like a hotel," Caius said. "This is not a place where you just come in, stay, and then leave because you feel like it. I say no."

"I don't see a problem with Bella staying," Marcus stated. He was simple.

"Then it's settled," Aro declared. "Bella can stay."

I smiled.

"But," Caius said. "Bella, you must not be a burden here and sit around. You will help us with errands and important documents and such. Is that clear?"

"Yes," I replied.

And that's how my life with the Volturi began. I ran errands for them and as payment; I was able to stay with them. My day often went as many cries of 'Bella!' and I would go to them. They would give me a task to complete, then I would go to the next chorus of those who called my name. One day seemed absolutely normal, but it was quite contrary. It was very unexpected.



"Aro! How great it is to see you again!" A voice I hadn't heard in ages called.

Alice… What's she doing here? I ran into the next room.

"Alice, it is quite lovely to see you," Aro breathed.

"Hm. Well, Aro. I had a vision that Bella came. You remember her right?" Alice asked. "Well, I had a vision that she came here and I came looking for her."

Damn it. Alice and her visions… She could still see me in her visions. Why hadn't I thought of this? I mentally slapped myself.

"Ah, Bella," Aro said. "I remember her. It was about 70 years ago, right?"

"Yes."

"Well, I haven't seen her since, Alice. I'm very sorry."

I was surprised that Aro went through for me. I would've thought that he would tell her I was here.

"Aro, I know she's here."

"And I can feel your tension," a new voice said.

Great. Jasper's here too…

"Bella is not here," Aro declared.

"We'll see about that," Alice's high soprano voice exclaimed.

I heard her light footsteps after that. I was in the next room. If she comes in, I'm screwed. I ran to get Alec just in case she found me. Luckily, he was obedient and was one of the people that didn't mind me too much, unlike his twin.

Then I heard a voice, "BELLA! I finally found you…"


So? How'd you like it? You can tell me by pressing that light purple button down there. Ahaha. So as I said, school started. And it probably started for everyone else too… Well, I counted all my votes as to whether I should add these mysterious new characters in and… It's a surprise! You'll have to keep reading to find out if they made it in or not.

Lots of love,
ma&j.
