Chapter Ten:

A/N: Oh shit, I am so very sorry.

I have been SOOOOOO busy lately... My school has gone from a nice little bludge, to freakin' five assignments in one week.

I can't believe it's been over a month since I updated! What must you think of me?! I'm so sorry!

"You might all want to sit down," Carlisle said wearily, rubbing his temples.

Everyone immediately took a seat.

"Edward, nice to see you. Meet Bella." Carlisle was quick with the introductions.

I nodded to the bronze haired boy, who nodded back, showing a faint trace of a crooked smile.

"Okay, so, I repeat, what the hell is going on?" Rosalie re-demanded, not giving a crap about introductions.

Carlisle gave quite a thorough explanation of 'what the hell was going on' which took almost twenty minutes.

"Oh joy," Alice groaned, her usually chipper voice gone.

"So, we have to move… again?" Rosalie said sadly.

My eyes welled up at the heartbroken sound of Rosalie's voice, and Carlisle rubbed my back.

"You don't know how sorry we are, Rose," Carlisle said sympathetically.

I nodded in agreement.

"But, if it makes you feel better…" Carlisle started with a small smile on his face, "You can choose where we go!"

Rosalie's eyes brightened, "Really?" She asked.

Carlisle nodded with a fond grin on his face.

"Okay, this isn't so bad then," Rosalie said, smiling slightly.

"So, let me clear this up…" Jasper started, "The Volturi are coming, and then while they're here we're going to have to bite Bella, and then we're going to stage a car accident or something, and then we're moving to wherever Rosalie decides we are going to go?"

"Pretty much," Alice affirmed, "Urgh, Rose, stop changing your mind on where we are going to move to! It's making my head ache with a new vision every three seconds!"

Rosalie giggled, "Sorry sis."

I smiled at the two sisters.

"Okay, I've chosen where we are going to stay," Rosalie said.

"Where?" Alice replied.

"Rosebery, Tasmania, Australia," The blonde said, a smile tugging at her lips.

"Oh, please, no!" Alice moaned.

Even Edward looked slightly horrified.

"I've never even heard about this place," I said, very confused, "What's so bad about it?"

Alice's eyes clouded over for a second, and then she replied to me, "Rosebery has a population of 1,032 people, is a mining town, has an average rainfall per year of 1,592mm and has an average maximum temperature of 16.4 degrees Celsius, that's 62 degrees Fahrenheit, and a minimum of 7 degrees Celsius, which is 45 degrees Fahrenheit."

She sounded like a walking dictionary.

"So, it's gonna be kinda cold?" I said.

"Yep," Alice replied.

Nothing was dampening my spirits though. Rosalie was no where near as angry as I expected, and the rest of the family were fine, excluding Esme.

"Now, Edward, I think there is a bit of explaining for you to do?" Carlisle asked.

Edward took a deep breath, "I am very sorry that I told Esme about Bella and you, Carlisle. I didn't realise she would take it so harshly, and I didn't mean to cause all this trouble. I've now realised that the woman I came to see as my mother is absolutely bonkers and needs to be taken to a special vampire asylum."

I giggled unconsciously, and Edward's lips turned up in a crooked smile.

It was breathtaking, and I felt the air hitch in my lungs.

Blushing, I turned away, though I could still feel Edward's gaze on me.

"That's getting really frustrating," Edward muttered.

I cocked my head at him.

"I still can't read your mind," Edward explained, "For me, that's not normal. I can usually read everyone's."

I merely nodded, still feeling his gaze trying to penetrate my mind.

---

"When do you expect the Volturi to come?" I asked Carlisle sleepily.

We were in his bedroom, laying down. It was time for the human to get her rest.

"Very soon, Bella, very soon." Was all I heard before I drifted off to sleep and was consumed into the beautiful world of dreams and peace.

A/N: Okay, I know, it's very short… But at least I updated!!!

Oh btw… I need some votes. I was thinking of kind of turning this into a sort of love triangle. Like Edward lusting after Bella, but she will definitely stay with Carlisle. I won't turn this into a Bella/Edward… but it might just heat up the story a bit.

Yes or no?
