Chapter 9-Reunion

Edward POV

Alec had led me to the castle of The Volturi. He brought me inside and told me how to get to Aro's room.

"Just follow this hall all the way and first door on your left." He said coldly.

I said nothing and started out in the direction he'd pointed.

I reached the door quickly and walked in.

"Where is she?"

"Ahh, hello Edward." Aro said happily.

"Where's Bella?" I asked again.

"With Caus, getting her robes."

"Her…her robes?" I asked horrified.

"Yes, she's agreed to join us."

"No." I breathed.

"Yes. It's really for the best. Of course if you hadn't left she would still be safely at home."

My head bowed in shame and horror. Once a vampire entered the Volturi they couldn't leave unless Aro freed them and it was obvious he wouldn't.

Then she walked in.

"Aro!" She called.

She sounded mad.

"Hello, Bella." I called to her.

She spun around in surprise.

"It…can't be." She breathed.

"But it is." I said with a small grin.

"Edward!" She cried flinging herself to me.

I was stiff, she didn't smell like Bella. I knew it was her but it was hard to believe the last time I had ever smelt her sweet scent was in the forest on the fateful day.

"Oh, sorry." She mumbled pulling away. "I forgot what you said…"

"Bella, I didn't mean it! I love you! I've been in a panic for the last week!" I cried, afraid of loosing her.

Then I smelt a new scent on her.

"Did you move on?" I gasped horrified.

"With that horrible smell? No you dope! I've only ever loved you!" She cried kissing me.

My cold heart lifted with joy and I kissed her back.

"Are you now here for good?" She mumbled around my kisses.

"I could never leave." I said.

Aro cleared his throat. Oh, right.

"Sorry." I muttered pulling away reluctantly from Bella, still keeping one arm wrapped around her waist. Just then Caius entered the room with a different smell on him, the smell was oddly familiar, like something that you know you know but can't seem to put your finger on it…..

I heard a low growl and turned thinking it was one of the Volturi only it was Bella?! She was growling at Caius while shooting him death glares. I realized with a sinking feeling why the smell was so familiar on Caius's robe, it was Bella's new scent. "Bella?" I asked and she turned to me smiling, the face of an angel was happy to see me, I never would get use to that. "Yes Edward?" She asked snuggling against me. "Is there somewhere private I can talk to you?" I asked her my eyes on Caius's every move. "Of course!" Aro exclaimed beckoning us to follow him. I walked with my arms wrapped tightly around Bella as I followed Felix and Aro down a staircase. "Right here, Felix," Aro nodded to him before opening the door with a brass key. He held the door for us and I walked inside, it was a stone room with no windows. "Felix will be outside, knock when you're done," He told me before departing with a light click as the door swung shut behind him. "What is this room?" Bella asked cowarding into me. "It's were they keep the humans they didn't kill but don't want to get red of," I spat. "Bella I need to ask you something."
