The Caravan Adventure
The Coronation
It was very early in the morning the sun hadn't even risen yet. There was knock at Edward and Bella's door outside stood Esme and Rene there to wake the young couple and get them up and ready so the ladies in waiting and the valets could ready the young couple and pack their belongings for the journey. They knocked again, "Edward, Isabella, you must wake up there is much to do before it is time to leave." said Esme.
"Mother, what time is it? It isn't even light out yet, just give a little more time Bella needs her sleep after all the craziness the day before yesterday and her pregnancy she is extremely exhausted I don't want to risk her health or that of the baby's if we can rest a bit longer." exclaimed Edward.
"As much as we would like we can not let Alice has seen it, if we do not leave within the hour there will be extreme danger for her and the babe." answered Rene.
"Very, but I don't like it. We must make sure there is somewhere foe her to rest and possibly sleep during this journey to the palace, will that be possible? Asked Edward.
"Yes of course Edward the most comfortable carriage has been arranged for the two of you and your sister and sister-in-law." replied Esme.
"Edward," Bella called out, "What is it what is wrong, what is going on?"
"It is nothing mo chroi, it is just our were Mothers sent wake us to prepare for our journey. Many things to do before time to go." said Edward.
"But Edward is still dark what time is it please stoke the fire it is very cold in here. Is it even morning yet?" asked Bella.
"Yes, mo ghra, it is very early but morning. Alice had a vision and we must leave with in the hour. Time to get up and dress I will have one of the ladies bring you some tea and oatmeal and fruit..." Edward's sentence faded as Bella jumped up and she ran commode and began to bring up last nights dinner. Edward rushed over to her and pulled her hair back out of the way and made soothing circles on her back, and cooed softly to her.
As soon as she realized that Edward was by her side she weakly tried to push him away and said. "You do not need to do this Edward." Her cheeks turning bright red with embarrassment as she again hurled into the commode this time nothing came up just dry heaves.
At that moment the mid-wives came in pushing Edward out of the way. "Excuse us your Highness we must check her and give her some special herb tea, which she will be receiving from now on before she even lifts herself from the bed." they explained.
"Is she going to be alright, is this normal, she is only a few days with child?" asked Edward a little panic stricken.
"Your Highness, this perfectly normal for a mother an babe of the Fae. Remember she and you are no longer mostly human you are both mostly of the Fae, the human in you both is so minute that it is hardly even there." they replied.
"This is not dangerous for them then? Edward questioned them.
But it was his grandmother who answered. "No Edward not anymore dangerous than any other pregnancy as matter of fact much less dangerous my mo chroi."
"Now you to need to get ready to quite quickly now." said Esme.
Everyone but the ladies and valets left and quickly scooted them behind different screens and they were quickly dressed Bella's dressing went much quicker seeings there was no longer a corset for the duration of her pregnancy as for the Princes orders, him having been told by their mothers and the mid-wives that it was healthier for the Princess and the baby not to have her all bound up and she would be more comfortable especially during a long journey. Very soon the couple was dressed and Isabella's tea was finished the little left of their things was packed and they were ready to leave the Princess feeling much better.
"What do you mean Lord Jasper, that I can not ride up front with Lord Emmett, I want be there to help protect Isabella and our baby." snapped Edward
"That is very commendable of you Prince Edward, but will be able to protect her inside the circle of the guard there are more than enough to take the lead for now." answered Jasper in a calming tone.
The Prince suddenly felt very calm, as he stood there facing Lord Jasper.
"Edward, please stay with me mo ghra, I need you here it is as if the child wants you very close to us." she said.
MBM:
Soon well with in the hour as Alice said they must leave by. Two carriages and four wagons inside the ring of protection of guards that circled the small caravan. Edward, Carlisle, and Charles on horse back. Edward riding right next to Bella's carriage, Keeping close by in case she needed him.
Alice's head appeared at the window, motioning her brother over closer to the carriage. He pulled his horse up along side the carriage. Alice got that far away look in her eyes, "Edward you must stay close and we need to have Seth up here between Papa and the Duke, in wolf form the first of two attempts will come out of the guard on the left and if Seth is in that position he will take him down."
Edward put his fingers up to his lips and let out the whistle meant for Seth to get his attention, he trotted his horse over to Edward and Alice, he asked. "Your Highnesses what can I do for you?
"Shh, quietly Princess Isabella is finally asleep we need to keep her asleep for the next half hour at least, Seth you need to and walk along between the Duke and the King but you must take your wolf form go now." Alice whispered.
Seth climbed off his horse handing the reigns over to Edward he moved over to a more open area and transformed into a large brindle colored horse size wolf. Then he trotted over to walk between the King and the Duke and no sooner than he arrived between them a huge black horse sized wolf broke through the lines to the left It is Sam he is there to steal the soon to be Queen and kill the soon to be King. 'Sam what are you doing have you gone mad?' Seth asked in their mind link. 'No I haven't they have Emily and little Sam if I don't bring her to them they will torture them or kill them.' replied Sam 'You know I can't let you do that I will stop you, but if you want to save Emily I will gladly help you.' said Seth. 'You don't understand Demitri and Prince Riley have them and he doesn't care he'll send the to the Demon Kingdom with his uncle the Demon King Aranancus where they will suffer for all eternity. We can't save them.' answered Sam. Who began to charge towards the Prince and the Royal carriage. With in an instant Seth took him down and turned to Edward knowing he could read Seth's mind said in his mind. 'Your Highness take off his head.' Edward drew his sword and swung down and connected with Sam's neck taking it off cleanly immediately Sam's body turned human but his head stayed in wolf form Seth changed back and quickly grabbed up Sam's head and hurled it so hard it went two miles out past the perimeter of the guard on the right and he then took Sam's body and picked it up and took it over and found a box with just water skins in it he removed the skins from the box and placed Sam's body in it.
"We can bury it this evening when we stop to rest the horses separating his head from his body will keep him from reforming again." said Seth sadly from having to have had to kill his long time friend.
"I am so sorry for you loss of a good friend at your hands but you realize that you were the only one who could take him down." whispered Alice.
"Funny but we used to wonder which one of us was strong enough to take the other down." Seth mused. "Now we know."
"Seth he is in a better place and when this all over we will get back his wife and son I promise on my life." vowed Edward.
MBM:
"It is time to stop and rest the horses for the night." Emmett called back to his troops. "Pass the word back as quickly as you can." The word to camp for the night was passed back until it reached the last line of Jaspers men.
Once they all had stopped Jasper, Emmett, Corin, Edward, Carlisle, and Charles gathered around the carriages, to plan the encampment and talk to Alice. To see if she has any more visions about an attack on Edward and Bella.
"Alice my dearest," said the King, "have you seen any more about the second attack."
"Yes Father, it also will come from the guard this time one from the front and one from the rear guard. They are the back up if Sam failed there is one from the right guard that is to take Isabella to Prince Aro, he is called Kellen so while we set up camp Corin you should have Felix sort him out and separate him from the rest but do it very discretely we don't want word to get back to Michael and Eric." explained Alice. "This little coup will take place after 12:00am but before 12:15am."
"Princess Alice are you sure about this?" asked Corin, not wanting to ruin a man's reputation to hurriedly.
"Have I been wrong yet Lord Corin," snipped Alice. "Twice I have predicted it and twice I was exactly correct, how many times do I have to be right with my visions before you believe in me."
"Princess Alice, please calm down," said Jasper sending her calming waves all the while he spoke to her. "I don't think anyone can doubt you at this point." He turned giving Lord Corin the evil eye. "Do they Lord Corin?"
"No no, Princess no one does or should doubt you at this point." said Lord Corin apologetically.
"I should hope not at this point." snapped Alice.
Suddenly Rose leaped out of the carriage, and ran up to the gathering and and whisper yelled. "Come quickly, hurry it is Bella she talking in her sleep Edward you must come you can read her dream, and explain she keeps saying no no no! Only Edward NO! NO! NO! It is wrong all wrong.
They all run to the carriage and Edward climbed in and let out a gasp and dropped to his knees and sobbed. "NO! NO! NO! Don't touch us only Edward," Edward shook his head as if to shake off a haze in his mind. "She is dreaming about the baby being born and the mid-wives are doing something and it is wrong and they won't let anyone in especially me. They are trying to kill our child, they aren't the real mid-wives."
"No, they aren't," said Alice with that far away look in her eyes. "They were replaced by dopplegangers and they are two of most wretchedly evil creatures on this they are vile harpies they called Gianna and Heidi and they took over the mid-wives as we were about to get on our way on this journey and their main objective is to kill any progeny of yours and Bella's that may have taken hold at the bonding. It is good thing they don't know about our powers yet, the powers of all of ours become stronger upon your coronation. Wake her Edward this terrible for her all her for seeing dreams are nightmares it so unfair."
"Bella mo ghra, wake up sweetheart, please love wake up you are having a bad dream those two harpies won't get anywhere near you and the baby, wake up please." Edward cooed in Bella's ear.
"No Edward not baby, babies there are two of them a boy and a girl, look into my mind you will see them mo chroi." said Bella with a sigh.
The King and the Duke have Jasper and Emmett go and get the mid-wives (vile harpies) with a ruse they are to tell them that they are needed to help the Princess and Lady Roselie.
"Ladies can you come quickly the Princess and Lady Roselie are both in pain our Mother thinks the journey maybe very hard on them both of them being with child and all." said Emmett.
"Yes our sister and Lord Emmett's wife are not doing so good please, please hurry." begged Jasper.
"Yes, yes we are coming, they will need our help to protect them and the babes." they said with a sly grin on their faces.
As soon as the young men got them away from their tent they gagged them both and chained them each in silver chains. So they could not use their powers on any one. The minute that the chains toughed them, their real appearance was exposed for the silver in the chain blocked all their evil magic just as it did to Jane and the reason they are gagged was to prevent them from deafening those around them with their song. Once they were bound and gagged with silver and silk they were sufficiently weakened they were placed in the prison wagon all three Jane and the harpies were bound together all back to back.
No sooner had they taken care of the harpies, then it was time to get back to their sister and brother-in-law for the rest of the nights attacks.
"Gentlemen it is good to see you back." said the King. "They have caught Kellen earlier and he was taken out away from everyone and he was questioned thoroughly with Edward near by reading his mind because he wasn't telling the truth he was terrified for his Mother he dared not speak. Edward got all the information directly from his mind."
"Yes," related Edward, "Michael and Eric were to grab Bella while we were all asleep thinking they could gag her and disturb a soul. This was order to be done directly by King Marcus he feels his sons and their cronies are inept and that they will screw everything up. That there will be one more attempt as we prepare for the coronation. This one was plotted by Prince Caius this Kellen over heard him talking to his henchman it would appear the the cowardly middle son of Marcus' has more backbone even if he is creepy and a sleazy sneak."
"Alice," asked Jasper, "What do you see?"
"I see Jane's Brother Alec to do it his gift is supposed to render all those in his path completely stunned and defenseless. While we are all in this state he will sweep in and grab Bella and get his sister and the harpies. But they have no clue that we have more and greater powers than they do. Wait till he comes up against Bella and his power is thrown back at him ten fold he will be paralyzed for a long long time." replied Alice. "Oh get read gentlemen it is about to start. " They all laid around the camp fire and pretended to be asleep. Out of the still of the dark night came two dark outlines of men creeping around the sleeping men and as soon as they reached the carriage and opened the door to find an empty carriage. They were jumped from behind and didn't even realize it until they were on the ground, because they were stunned that the Prince and Princess were not there. They were turned over onto their backs and were staring straight up into the eyes of Lords, Corin, Emmett, and Jasper, and behind them stood Prince Edward.
"How...what...where?" cried out Eric.
"This not the time for you to be asking questions that time passed when you agreed to take this little job for King Marcus." said Jasper. "You should have been asking if this is the right thing to do, I am understanding if you have a loved..." he is cut off.
"Never mind the kindness they were only in it for the money but little did they know there was no money in it for them as soon as the task was complete they would be killed when they went to claim their reward." said Edward snidely. "That's enough get rid of these two I don't want them in my sight or I will kill them."
"No no wait we have information about the plans..."they are cut off quickly. Everyone spun around to see.
"I see plans within plans at Marcus' court, I see son playing against father I see brother against brother this will be their downfall that they do not work together as a cohesive group their evil greed has them all playing against one this all in their nature caused by their demon, human, and dark elf bloodline." said the three young women all together as if in a trance.
They all began to fall and each of the young men grabbed their girl (yes all their girls that's all I will say for now next chapter more on that subject) before they hit the ground.
"Oh my Gods," exclaimed Edward. "That was Rose her power is to amplify others powers and when Alice just had a trance like vision it was carried to three through Rose, now we are all accounted for we all have a power."
Jasper smiled at his brother and brother-in-law and said. "Yes we are all accounted for with our powers and they will all be stronger because of one of our powers."
"By the Gods," exclaimed Emmett in his booming voice. "We are the prophecy."
"Did you ever doubt it Emmett? Asked Alice almost in a whisper.
But Emmett heard her and answered. "No not really, I just didn't think I would one of the ones."
"One of the ones what?" asked the Duke.
"One of the ones in the prophecy, you know one of the six." replied Emmett.
"I knew from the moment you were born, I held you up to the Gods and shouted 'The Prophecy begins." said Charles.
"I as well Edward the day you were born, I took you from your Mother's arms and raised you naked to the Gods and said the same thing Charles just said, Then you smiled this little infant grin and peed all over me." the King said with a laugh.
At this point everyone laughed. They all hunkered down to get some sleep before the caravan started in the morning.
The rest of the journey went by smoothly and by the next afternoon the caravan reached the palace they all dismounted from horses and carriages.
As they entered the palace it was eerily quiet and suddenly Bella's shield came up around all who were around her. Then she said, "Lord Alec come out come out where ever you are. We know you are here, so you might as well come out."
From around the corner strode an arrogant looking young man and he smiled and said. "Now how did you know I was here? Not that it matters anyway."
"Just in case you were curious a little bird who worked for your King told us." said Bella not giving away any of their powers until it was time to use them.
"Well,well,well, won't the king be surprised when he finds out that his little bird not only got caught but also sang, so which one got caught if I may so bold as to ask." snickered Alec.
"Not that it matters any now." crowed Bella. "But all three of them they tattled on each other, and in the end it was no help to them but it will not be good for your employer or his father, and brother."
"I can not see, it will hurt my employer or his family at all for today your luck has run out your Highness." snickered Alec like the little boy he really was.
"So may I suggest that you begin, Lord Alec time is getting by it is getting late in the day and we have many things to do." sighed Bella.
"Oh my dear Princess Isabella you all will be doing nothing do you not why I am hear I have a power unlike my sister will take you all out. Then no-one will be able to stop me from taking you to my employer." laughed Alec.
"Then lets get on with it my Lord." said Bella.
Through the shield what looked like a wave of slow moving gas was coming toward them all and Bella checked to make sure that the shield was secure and fully ready for Alec's power, the wave hit her shield, at the same second Rose grabbed her hand and the wave literally bounced of the shield and flew back at Alec twenty times fast than it came it slammed into him and bowled him over like a real wave in the ocean would, and it was over. They grabbed him and bound him in silver chains, and wrapped one around his head to make his mind weak and hold back his power when he woke up.
All done and taken care of the preparations for the coronation began by night fall it would be all set.
MBM:
By 7:00pm all was ready and the national anthem played as the Crown Prince and Princess walked down the aisle all the way up to the dais that held the King and Queen's thrones. Edward bowed and Bella curtsied to his parents King Carlisle and Queen Esme. The rose and removed their crowns and handed them to the holy man Quil Ateara as he blessed the crowns the Duke and Duchess of Swan came up to escort the past King and Queen from the dais then they escorted Edward and Bella to the thrones they sat upon the thrones looking as regal as any King and Queen should. Holy man Quil Ateara walked up to Edward and begins the coronation he said, "I place this crown upon your head as a reminder of the weight of a nation, so will be reminded that at all times you must protect your people, and care for them as a father cares for his children, this your destiny and in this may the gods bless and keep you." He settled the crown on Edwards head, and turned and picked up the smaller crown and turned to Bella. "I place this crown upon your head to remind you of the priorities of a Queen and the first is two provide an heir for the throne, then it is to always care for and aide your husband the King, also to help your people and look upon them as a mother would her child. With these words I crown you both King Edward Anthony Masen Cullen and Queen Isabella Rene Swan Cullen. He turned and said Carlisle and Esme to you as former King and Queen swear your elegance to your Son and Daughter-in-Law. The newly crowned King and Queen."
As they knelt down in front of the dais Carlisle said. "We as former King and Queen do so swear our elegance to you our Son King Edward and Daughter-in-Law Queen Isabella until our dying day. May the Gods bless these crowns and the young couple that wear them.
"Do you Duke Charles and Duchess Rene swear your elegance to your new King and Queen?" asked holy man Quil.
As they also knelt down in front of the dais Charles said. "We the Duke and Duchess Swan do so swear our elegance to our Son-in-Law King Edward Cullen and our Daughter Queen Isabella Swan Cullen until our dying day. May the Gods bless these crowns and the young couple that wear them."
The two sets of parents stood and turned to the court and together shouted. "Long live the King and Queen."
They were answered by the entire court. "Long live the King and Queen! Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray! Long Live their Majesties King Edward and Queen Isabella!"
Then the former King and Queen turned and bowed and curtsied to Isabella and Edward the stepped up to escort them out of the Royal Hall to their private apartments and were followed By the Duke and Duchess who carried the trains of Edward and Bella's Royal Capes. As they all left the hall quickly followed by Princess Alice and Lord Jasper her escort, and Lord Emmett and his wife Lady Roselie. They all met up in the King and Queens apartments. To say a very good night and congratulations the their sister and brother.
