AN: Jeez. Here's the update you guys begged me to give you in the reviews. Repeatedly. OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

Adventures in Camping

Chapter 10: Where is She

EPOV

I could swear she was there five seconds ago. Those were her eyes. But if that were true then why was there nothing under the table? Aro's eyes searched the empty space beneath the table top. Finally he sighed and threw the table cloth in a crumpled heap on the ground.

"Must have been my imagination." Aro frowned at my open mouth suspiciously. I quickly snapped it shut.

"Yes, father. That must have been it." Jane sounded grim, like she was dreading something. I begged her with my eyes to tell me where Bella had gone but she never looked at me once.

Not exactly a good sign.

"Daddy I need Vera Wang's phone number. You know she is the only one worthy enough to make my wedding gown." Heidi sounded incredibly excited. Yay.

"How long does it take Vera to make dresses?"

"Um..... a month or two."

"You only have two days to plan the wedding," Aro spoke sternly.

"WHAT!? DADDY ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!?"

"ENOUGH! Jane?" Aro saw that Jane had already left the room without a word while Heidi had uttered a single string of words that I did not have an appreciation for at the moment. Words like: groom, best man, vows. The last one was the worst, of course. Aro exhaled in frustration.

"Wonderful. Now I'll have to find her myself. We need to take care of that Swan girl." I gritted my teeth, attempting to resist the urge to go kill Aro Volturi.

BPOV

I know this might sound weird. Wait, scratch that, I know this will sound weird but I swear to God, a hole just opened up in the floor and I fell in it. So Aro was just about to lift the cover off of the table and then BAM. All I saw was darkness and all I felt was the whoosh of air as I fell. And all I heard was my shrieking. Then I fell on a really, really soft cushion.

"Hello, my dear." I shot up off the cushion and fell right back down again. Falling for so long really makes you dizzy. A shadow fell over me as I struggled to get up. Whoever it was held out their hand to me and I grabbed it even though it could be a murderer or a rapist or something.

It was the veiled woman.

Blanching, I stumbled away from her.

"Do not be afraid," she whispered.

"Who- Who are you?" I did a poor job of masking my fear.

"Didyme. Aro's sister. And you are Bella Swan." Oh no. Oh no. OH FREAKING NO! This woman was Aro's sister. She was a member of the Volturi family. And from experience I could definitely say that if that's you last name, your first name was either Trouble or Murderer. I kept silent, staring at Didyme with wide puppy dog eyes. They weren't exactly known to work but it was worth a shot.

"You are not following instructions. I want you to release the fear. You need to understand that I won't hurt you before I can help you."

"Help me?" I squeaked. Didyme sighed.

"Yes. Aro is getting on my last nerves. I mean, its not like I wasn't annoyed with him before for Marcus and all but this is all that consumes him. Revenge this and Carlisle that." Her voice got louder and angrier as she went on. "I will not see him hurt another innocent the way he hurt my Marcus."

"Who's Marcus?"

"MARCUS WAS NOT ONLY MY HUSBAND, BUT ONE OF ARO'S FRIENDS! IN ONE OF MY BROTHER'S STUPID ATTEMPTS TO PUT FORTH ANOTHER INSANE REVENGE PLAN, MARCUS GOT HURT AND I WILL NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN!" She sobbed, falling to the floor. It was a heartbreaking sound and I moved closer to pat her back awkwardly. I was thinking of Edward and how I could save him from becoming the new Mr. Volturi. The name put a bad taste in my mouth. How can someone so good as Edward be associated with this slime ball family? Finally, Didyme quieted and sniffed. I stepped away.

"Look, I have to go." Didyme's head shot up, puzzled.

"Go? Go where?" I remained silent. I did not want to risk the chances of Didyme telling Aro. Awareness, however, sprung into Didyme's eyes and she looked at me knowingly.

"It is useless to try to save your Edward now. He's still probably chained up, locked in a cell. Heidi is an over the top girl. She'll want to spend months planning that wedding-"

"MONTHS!? I don;t have months! I have to save him now!" I looked around the room but my stomach started to sink when I realized there was no door and no windows.

"Calm down," Didyme said as she tried to stop me from my hyperventilation. "Aro is an impatient man. He'll probably give her only one or two days for planning. The best chance we have of setting him free is to wait until the wedding himself."

"But if we fail Edward will end up married to Heidi." Didyme shrugged.

"It's the price you'll have to pay. Now come sit down while I go make some-"

"What about Jane!? She's been helping me! Maybe she can free Edward."

"No. Aro wants Jane to take care of you. Did you not here him? And Aro will most likely spend time taunting Edward in front of his cell."

"How did I get here?" I asked, annoyed that all my back up plans had flaws.

"Trapdoor. This house has been here for centuries. Now I need to go make some of those crumpets. And don't try to escape this room. Your efforts would be futile."

AN: There you go guys. Hope it was to your liking. Also, a friend and I have started a story THAT I LOVE SO MUCH IT HURTS. It's called Boarding School Bet and here's the summary:

Lauren Mallory and Jessica Stanley are your everyday Queen Bees. They manipulate, they destroy and most importantly, they rule. Bella Swan is just your average high schooler. In her opinion, she has nobody looks and nobody clothes. Lauren and Jessica completely torment Bella in more ways than one. But she's not going to take it anymore… Bring in Edward Cullen. All the guys want to be him and all the girls want to be with him. The only problem is that he is completely unattainable. Lauren and Bella just aren't going to let that stand in their way.
