Joining Up

Bella POV

. . . "Aro, I've come to join the Volturi."

I stood there, in the clearing, staring at about three hundred or so vampires. I was astonished to say the least. I couldn't believe he felt that threatened by Nessie. She was only a little girl hardly worth all these people.

"Bella! What a pleasant surprise! How are you? So, you came to your senses and came to join us did you? Well that's absolutely perfect! We're on our way to take care of the little problem your clan is causing. Would you like to help?"

Wow. Aro is an idiot. "First off, I don't come to you free. I have a few demands, then I'm all yours."

"Okay, why would we let you do what you want?"

"Because of power, Jane. I have it, you want it."

"How do you know we want your power?" Jane just kept on leering. God she needed to take a deep breath underwater.

"You have no one like me, that's why. I could take you in a fight and you know it."

"Now girls, stop this bickering. Bella let's hear your demands."

"First, leave the Cullen's alone. They didn't do anything. Second, never come near them again. That's all I ask. I'm willing to learn any and all tactics you have to teach me. "

"Little Bella, those demands aren't very much. I guess we have to except. I think we should still pay a visit to the Cullen's, just to be sure." I will kill him one of these days. I can't wait until I smell the smoke of his burning flesh. Wow, only two hours away from my family and I turn into a monster.

"Fine. We'll go. I get to do the talking."

"But, of course, I wouldn't have it any other way."

Then we started to run, back the way I had come. This was NOT going to be pretty, and that was being nice. This would go one of two ways. One, Edward will grab me and kill Aro, or two, I hurt Edward so bad he won't think about me for at least a century. I sometimes wonder what it would have been like had I not met Edward. I'd probably be out with Jacob right now, just hanging in his living room, or on the beach. But still I can't imagine living without Edward. I can't imagine not walking up to his smile and his cold embrace, God I miss him.

We were about half way there. I was suddenly filled with dread. Not only did I have no doubt in my mind that I would hurt Edward so bad he would never think about me again, I knew I was hurting the entire Cullen family. Alice would be hurt, then Jasper would be hurt because Alice is hurt. Rosalie would be pissed, Emett following that trend because Rosalie is holding out on him (that boy is such a sex fiend it's not funny anymore). Esme and Calisle would be sad, therefore closed off. And Edward would be . . . broken.

I don't want to do this, I don't want to do this. I have too . . .
