Chapter 9: Fly Away Home

Once we landed I think every vampire on that plane gave a sigh of relief. First off leave Emmett without any entertainment for 3 hours and you will not make it out unscarred. If you're human. Also halfway through the flight Carlisle and Marcus got into a little spat over something so stupid that I don't even remember. We waited until a cloud passed over the sun and then we raced to the black limo waiting for us. Gianna sat in the driver's seat as we got in. As we drove I just gazed out the window at land passing us by. I looked away and saw Edward watching me. As soon as I met his look he turned away. Finally we pulled up to the house. The sun was hidden by a cluster of clouds so we could go at human pace. As we walked through the door I felt so relieved to be home. (I have the house on my profile)

I turned and saw that Esme was admiring the elaborate decorating tastes that Aro's had. "Do you want a tour?" I asked sweetly. "Oh please!" Alice said. Suddenly Aro's and Caius walked in. "Marcus your back!" Aro's exclaimed. Caius just stood in the back and he gave a slight nod. "Bella was going to give the Cullen's a tour" Marcus informed. "Of course, why don't we show Carlisle and Esme their rooms and Bella can show the others around?" Carlisle and Esme followed the three of them, while I led the others outside. I saw Emmett get an evil look in his eyes when he saw the pool. Rosalie elbowed him in the side. "Don't even think about!" Edward hissed. Emmett looked disappointed. When I showed them the game room and the theater he perked up. We had all forms of entertainment. While Emmett, Jasper, and Edward inspected the games, Alice dragged me away. "Let's see your room!" Rosalie followed us back downstairs. I led them into my room. They loved it. The soft cream and gold was everywhere. Rosalie didn't really show interest until we reached the closet. Then she started examining every inch of clothing I had. Suddenly she pulled out a dress I had worn to a "business" gala with Aro's.

"Bella this is stunning!" Rosalie exclaimed. I looked at her suspiously. "Thanks" I said quietly. "Put it on!" Alice said. "What, Alice no I…" "Please Bella I just want to see what you look like!" I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Fine!" I growled. Once I had it on Alice had another brilliantly, wonderful idea. "L;et go show the boys!" I knew what she was doing. She didn't care if Emmett or Jasper saw me, she wanted Edward to see me. Before I could even think of a protest she grabbed my arm and dragged me back to them. I tried to fight her off but Rosalie was right behind me. Edward was looking at our complicated sound system when we walked in. Emmett and Jasper looked up and then they looked at Edward. He turned around, and if I were human I swear my race would have been beat red. Surprise was in his eyes, then confusion, the lust, then longing. As soon as Alice let go I was out of there and back into my regular cloths. Demetri was lying casual on my bed when I came back from the closet. "So, how was Forks?" I narrowed my eyes at him. "Fine!" I said through gritted teeth. He grew serious. "I told you we shouldn't trust Laurent, but did you listen no you were to hell bent on making that other one jealous that you couldn't see!" "Excuse me for trying to find some good in people!" I snarled back. "Good, People! Bella were vampires for crying out loud!" Demetri waved his hands about in a flurry of movement. "OH! So Now I Can't Have Any EMOTIONS!" "RIGHT!" I turned and stomped down the stairs. Once I got to the bottom of the stairs I screamed out of anger.

Demetri covered his ears and a glass flower vase nearby cracked a little. Marcus was in front of me in a second, while I heard Emmett, Edward, Alice, Rosalie, and Jasper run down the stairs. Marcus turned his head and looked at the vase. "Aro's will not be happy" He said calmly. I felt my anger bubble again; suddenly the vase shook and flipped off its stand. I had one of my powers back. I forget all my anger and began dancing around. "I got a power back!" I sang. Marcus, knowing the storm was over, walked back to the couch. Last time my powers had come back one at a time; I guess it was the same again. I flicked my wrist and a book nearby flew onto the floor. I kept this up for another minute. Then Demetri tensed up. Felix flew down the stairs and was sniffing the air. I couldn't smell anything and neither could anyone else. "Laurent!" growled Demetri. I heard a snarl building in Edward's chest.
