Chapter Ten
x-X-x
Carlisle sat in his study, he had a bad feeling. It had been three days since he got his last call from Alice.
She had explained what was going on. They were in Italy to save Edward. That he thought his mate, Bella was dead and because of that Bella and her were there to save him.
He hoped they saved him. Carlisle knew how the Volturi could be, and could only pray everything went alright. That there were no casualties in this trip.
Carlisle wanted his family back together. Ever since they had moved away from Forks things had been slowly falling apart. His family had started to split apart.
He hoped that will Bella saving Edward, the two would get back together and things would be good again.
Mates were to always to be together.
It hurt to be away from each other...that is why Edward gone off on his own. He couldn't take being around mated couples.
It reminded him of the mate he pushed away. The mate that he loved but wanted to keep human.
'Things are getting so complicated.' Carlisle thought as he ran a hand over his face. He didn't understand what Edward was thinking. He knew that the girl, Bella, was his mate, but he also knew that if he didn't go back to the girl or agree to change her she would end up dead. This would also hurt them too.
If the Volturi get involved, they could kill their whole coven for knowing about her and not doing anything about changing her.
He knew the rules. He had watched vampires who had broken the rules killed while he was with the Volturi.
Carlisle knew what could happen to his family, but he hoped it didn't come down to that. Edward had some leeway because the girl was his mate.
He may not know Bella really well, but he knew she was kind and not afraid to act normal around them. She would hug them, smile and be normal around them. Something that he had yet to really understand how she could do it so effortlessly.
"When did things get so complicated" Carlisle muttered as he looked out the window. It was raining, it fit the mood that was in the house.
Everyone was depressed, and he knew why.
He just hoped Alice, Bella and Edward headed home soon. They would be able to save the family.
The family that he wanted to make sure that stayed together, but from the looks of it right now that wasn't going to happen.
As Carlisle looked out the window he tensed when he felt something. In the distance he could see black clocks.
He knew what that could meant...
Taking a deep breath Carlisle stood and made his way downstairs and gave his family who were all shifting around the living room restlessly. They knew what was coming as well it seemed.
Looking at his mate, he gave her a small smile before opening the door. When he opened the door two Volturi guards stood at few feet away from the door.
"How can I help you gentlemen." Carlisle said, trying to act calm. He knew what was to come, so he really wasn't all that calm. He just hoped everything turned out alright...or with everyone alive.
The one of the left gave a smirk before handing him an old looking letter which Carlisle knew as a summons.
"Your presence is required by the Volturi for trail."
Carlisle sucked in a breath, "When are we to come."
The one on the right gave a hollow chuckle, "Now...you need not bring anything...it has yet to be determined if you will need them again."
This made the Cullen family shift uncomfortably,
"What is the trail for, and who is to be present." If it wasn't that big of a tail only Aro would be present...if a full trial all three brothers would be present. He hoped it was just Aro.
Sadly it seemed like luck wasn't on his side.
"The reason for the trail shall be reviewed by Aro when you get there. Him and his brothers are expecting you...along with the Denali's."
Carlisle closed his eyes, it seemed things were more serious than he wanted...he hoped everyone came out alive.
He could only pray.
And pray he did.
He prayed for their lives to be spared.
