Chapter 10: Change of Plans…
I was pulled abruptly back into the present by the soft voice I knew to be Russel, "Jessica…Jessica are you alright?" I opened my eyes to see him standing over me with distress written on his face.
I was laying in the middle of the floor of the old court room, and I looked up to see that Aro looked as if he was about to faint. I realized that if I told them what I saw…they would most surely kill Bella immediately, and another death would be put on my doorstep. I began to make up a story in my head to tell them.
Russel sat me up and led me back to my chair. I looked out to the other vampires and back to Aro, and spoke… "I saw Bella, and she-" Aro interrupted me.
"No need to tell us dear…you already said everything that you saw." I looked at him in shock. I did not remember saying anything…then again, I also didn't remember walking over to the middle of the floor and collapsing.
Aro spoke to the group of Vampires, "Then, it has been decided…Bella shall be executed Friday at dawn, so to have time to make arrangements with the Cullen family." With a wave of his hand the others nodded and exited the room.
"Thank you for your help my dear…now…there is something I wish to ask you. He led me out of the room and down a long hallway decorated with lavender silk curtains and expensive looking side tables. This gave me no comfort. I heard footsteps behind us and realized that Russel and the small Jane girl were following.
We went into another small room that looked like a smaller personal library. There was a long lounge chair sitting in the middle by a fireplace. I perfect setting to sit down and read a good book. There were several other couches and chairs scattered around the room next to lamps and side tables.
Aro sat me down on the lounge chair and then went to sit on the chair across from it. Then, he spoke after about fife minutes of puzzling silence, "Jessica, now that we have to eliminate Bella…we need another powerful vampire to replace her."
"Do you have anyone in mind?" I asked earnestly, expecting them to ask me to look up another person like a yellow phone book. He turned his head away from my face and towards the fireplace.
"We need someone that we can trust…someone that has been loyal since the beginning, and also someone that is very powerful, indeed." He twisted his head back to me and gave me a frightening grin.
"Who is it? I don't think I can just guess, I mean it takes time and…" I sucked in sharply and reality hit me once more in the stomach. They were talking about me. "No…no, please, I don't want to live forever…please…you wouldn't do that to me, I promise I'll do anything you ask!"
I rose my voice as tears began to trickle down my face. My greatest fear was becoming one of them because if I did…how then will I be able to control myself at all?
"Aro…maybe we shouldn't…I don't think she is ready." Russel spoke up from behind me.
"Well why not? She could be our greatest asset, and she has proved to us that she is willing to give us what we need has she not?" Aro gave me another terrifying grin, and Russel fell silent.
"NO! Please! Ill do anything you ask…ANYTHING!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.
"Then, my dear Jessica, I ask of you to become one of us." He suggested .warily
I was getting very light headed and nauseated. I did not want any of this to happen…I was scared out of my mind. Instinctively, like before, I jumped up and shot towards the door, and of course, Jane grabbed my arm and swung me down onto the chair. She held both my arms down, and gave me a mischievous grin.
"Do you want me to do it Aro?" She glanced over to him.
"No Jane…I think Russel has come to some friendship with the girl. Why not let him do the honors. They completely were ignoring my struggles and begging for mercy.
"No…I cant, please do not make me do this. I am not strong enough to handle this."
"But I thought you said you wanted to practice control? But if you insist I will-
"No! no, Ill do it…I'm sorry Jessica." He came over and held my arms and legs more gently then Jane as she let go with a grunt of disappointment. He looked down to me and rubbed his forehead on mine while gazing into my eyes. He was enchanting. He sweet breath tickled my cheeks as I breathed it in. A tear streaked down my cheek, but he wiped it away. Then, he leaned down and kissed me.
I felt myself falling asleep slowly. His kiss was smooth and followed every curve of my mouth. He softly pulled away, and my eyes began to get heavy, but before I fell into slumber, Russel put his lips down to my neck, and sank he teeth in…then, I was out.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
RusselWatching her scream in pain was the most terrible thing I had ever witnessed. I had done something that would torture my one and only love for three days, and would last forever. I didn't know what Aro had in mind in changing her. She could come back in anger and kill us all, but I didn't' care…we deserved to die. I knew it. As soon as I joined this clan, I knew this was morally wrong.
I loved this girl so much my heart aced for her. I didn't know how this was possible for I had only known her for a week. The first time I looked into her eyes, I knew she had to be mine. I was deeply in love.
I tried to comfort her by whispering softly to her poems I had written, and rubbing her cheek. This seemed to help, so I stayed with her for all three days of her transformation. Then, on the last day, after she began to calm, I realized something.
I knew what it was, I was sent here to do…I knew that this girl could destroy the Volturi just as easily as Bella could, and I already knew she would…
I had seen it when she walked into this very castle, and something else I knew…
…I would help her do it…
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
BellaI finally awoke from just about the strangest and longest sleep I had ever had. It felt like I had been asleep for months, but I knew it had just been a few hours. I still had my fluffy white wardrobe on from the wedding.
Then, it hit me…the wedding…Edward! What had happened. I couldn't remember. I was in a small bedroom with no windows, no chairs, only one door, and a small closet to the right.
I began to feel a bit cluster phobic and sick to my stomach. I had no idea where I was or what was going on at all. I looked back to find that hanging over the bed there was a painting kind of like the one's Carlile had in his study area at the Cullin's house.
Then, memory flooded back to me, and the picture of the entire Volturi family in the front row of my wedding. I was again trapped in the Volturi castle. What did they want from me?
Edward was going to change me…right after the wedding. Couldn't they have waited? Or maybe they had something else planned. As I pondered my unknown fate I heard a jiggling of the doorknob.
Before I could even look up to inspect, Edward was in front of me and grabbing me in his arms.
He looked as if he was about to cry, "Oh, Bella love! I am so sorry, I am soooo sorry will you ever forgive me?"
"What happened?"
"The Volturi knocked you out and kidnapped you at the wedding. I am so sorry…Jane…she…" I put my finger to his lips.
"Don't worry about it Edward, its not your fault, just get me out of here." I whispered and kissed him intently.
"We have to hurry, I don't know how long Alice can distract them before they-
"What! Alice is doing what?" I asked panicked.
"It was her idea, don't worry about anyone but yourself…hang on tight…Ive got to run." I grunted and hopped into his arms. I hated running. I got used to it after a while, but lets face it I've always been a wimp.
Before I knew it we were hopping into his car, along with Alice, Emmit and Carlile and driving 100 miles an hour.
"Edward, I don't know if I convinced them fully…I'm not sure, but I think Jane knew what we were doing."
Edward looked frustrated, and then a smile crept across his face, "Well, it looks to me…Mrs. Cullen, that we will have to take our honeymoon early. I'm sorry to spoil your wedding surprise…we will have to leave Forks immediately and head to India. After all, you are supposed to be dead, or at least, that's what we told the Volturi. Whether they fall for it or not, only the future will tell." He snapped a sly glance at Alice.
The trip home was short…packing was the easy part, but the hardest of all was saying goodbye to my parents…
…most likely for the last time…
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Jessica
I awoke from my torturous transformation to see Russel staring at me with concern.
"How are you feeling?"
"I'm ok…I guess…so…Bella has escaped with Edward…"
"Yes, but we are the only two that know this…Aro and the rest of the clan watched Alice Cullen kill Bella right in front of them."
I stared at him, confused. He obviously sensed this because he began to explain.
"You see…I came up with an agreement with the Cullen family. I did not think it was right for them to kill Bella. So with my power, I made a copy of Bella in her sleep, and gave it to them."
"How did you do that?"
"I can make copies of people, but the copies are not alive, they are like puppets, and the owner of these puppets tell them, through their minds, exactly what to do."
"So Bella is safe?" I asked worriedly.
"For now, yes…but she wont be for long…there is something that we must do…we have to get rid of the Volturi, and create our own clan that is fair and reasonable."
I looked at him puzzled at why he would want to do this, "But you are a part of them…aren't you?"
"I can only tell you this if you promise not to tell anyone…promise?" I shook my head yes.
"I only joined this clan so to destroy it. I have been waiting five years for you to finally come. I knew you would because I could sense a powerful being would come into the Volturi in the future."
I was getting dizzy from all this confusion, "You want me to help you destroy the Volturi? But why? What did they do to you?"
He sat me up and stared into my eyes, "They killed my entire family, as they did yours…Mine mother and father would not join them so they killed them…but what they did not know was that they had a child, and this child would become a full vampire as soon as he turned the age of 25. And now here I am."
"Wait, what do you mean by they killed mine? My father? He died in a car crash."
"No Jessica your real family. The white witches. The Volturi killed them all, but somehow you survived."
Suddenly anger and hatred filled me. I felt hot to the touch, not like an ordinary vampire who is as cold has ice. They had done this to me. I am uncontrolled and murderous, because of them…Aro lied to me…I decided then that I was going to destroy the Volturi, once and for all…"
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
We started planning the very next day, and three days later…it was settled on what we were to do.
We called together all the Volturi for important news through Aro. We told him that there was a spy and a traitor in the midst of the Volturi clan. He let us take them one by one into a small room for interrogation…little did he know…each member who walked into this room were doomed to be dissembled and killed.
We picked them off one by one until only two remained.
"So…who is this traitor in our midst?" Aro asked suspiciously.
"Here she is…" we brought forward a small vampire with a bag over her head, gagged and bound. We held her tightly, and waited for Aro's reaction, and without hesitation, he killed her on the spot.
He them removed the bag from her unattached head to find that it was not any ordinary vampire, but his beloved adopted daughter, Jane. He jerked back violently.
"What have you done!?" He screamed at us.
"We have done nothing my lord…it was you that killed her…" Russel said.
And before Aro even began to understand completely what was going on, we surrounded and destroyed him. Even with his body shredded I still went at him with all my strength. I was so enveloped in rage I did not even notice glass braking and Russel pulling me outside.
Tears of depression and hate trickled down my face, as he took me in his arms and shushed me. We then set fire to the castle and watched as purple smoke filled the air.
I relief filled my heart as it began to crumple into ash.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
We stood on the cliff in which Bella had stood before in my vision, but I was not crying, I was smiling, standing with my hand in Russel's. We looked into each other's eyes and kissed passionately.
"Together forever…"I whispered into his ear.
"Together forever…" He smiled back.
And it was true…almost a hundred years to that day…we are still together…forever…
