Author's Note: I pretty much have nothing to say right now so read and enjoy this chapter!!
(Carlisle's Point of View)
The plane had finally landed in Seattle, Washington after several long hours. I took the time to think of how in the world I was going to keep Bella's secret safe from my family especially Edward. It was nearly impossible to do. One thought of Bella and that did it. The secret would be out. Nor did I know how I was going to tell Esme if I did. I still hadn't made my decision. Alice would see it. But I had an idea of how Esme would find out. If Alice couldn't see me talking to her than she'd certainly not be able see her tell Esme, but then how would she NOT think about her. I needed to think about this carefully but now wasn't the moment. I had to focus hard on other things that weren't about Bella. I couldn't think about her nor mention her or that would be the end of the secret.
(Edward's Point of View)
I was locked in my room as always. No one bothered me anymore after the first few years. They knew nothing was going to make things better. Losing the love of my life was the worst thing ever. I wanted to die & join her in the next world. I considered the option but no one would want to do me the favor. I tried the Volturi, but they refused just like everyone else. They said they couldn't do that to a vampire who had extraordinary useful powers. I gave up after a while. I realized no one would do it. I had been punished in the most cruelest way possible. Living in a world where my true love didn't exist. What hurt the most was that I could have prevented it. She could have still been alive if I had just gotten a second earlier. I hadn't lost hope until I saw the image in Alice's mind. She couldn't see her future at all which only meant one thing, she didn't have one. She was gone, gone forever, and I was stuck in another world for all eternity.
I rarely came out of my bedroom. The only exceptions would be hunting and when someone needed something but that was all. I tried to isolate myself from everyone's thoughts. But that was no use. It hurt me inside every time I heard someone think of her or even mention her beautiful name. I was desperate without her. I needed her more then she needed me. It sounded crazy but it was the solid truth. But the thing that hurt the most out of all this was the fact that the reason she was gone, the person who had taken her away from me, the one who had killed her was still out there as if nothing had ever happened. I told Carlisle to tell the Volturi of what had occurred. We didn't fully trust them but they were our only hope to find her. They had Demetri the best tracker out there who could help us find Victoria. They were more than happy to do us the favor since they were such great friends with Carlisle. But to much time had gone by. Victoria still had to be out there and for them not to find her was completely bizarre.
But on the other hand they did find her daughter, Lillian. That had to mean something. When I saw the vision in Alice's head I was completely shocked. I never imagined Victoria having a daughter as a human. Or that her whole family had been turned into vampires.
I could tell I wasn't the only one shocked about the news. As Alice, Esme and Carlisle drove closer and closer to the house I could hear there thoughts clearer and clearer.
That explains why I couldn't see him after that. I was beginning to get worried nothing like that had ever happened to me. It's amazing to know a power like that exists in our world. But it does irritate me knowing that someone out there can block my visions from them...
I think I'm going to consider that idea of us going to France together. Its been a while since I haven't been there. I'm sure they won't mind being alone in the house for a couple of weeks...
I need to go back soon. There's no way I'm going to be able to stay here and not hear from Bel...inda. I'm sure Esme would love to meet her...
In a matter of seconds they arrived at the house. I heard three doors shut from the car and there footsteps as they came inside the door.
"Hi Carlisle, your back so soon" Emment said he saw them go into the living room.
Is it just me or is something wrong with him. Maybe it is just me.
"I had to come back, it wasn't like I was on vacation or anything" I heard Carlisle say.
"Carlisle why are you so nervous" Jaspar commented. I guess he was in the room too.
He so nervous, wait he's getting even more nervous. He's hiding something. I gotta tell him to stop or else he's going to drive me crazy.
I'm not nervous, why is he acting like that, maybe someone else is nervous. I know I'm not. What would I be hiding.
"Carlisle, stop please your making me feel uncomfortable" Jaspar said.
"It's not me. I'm not nervous"
"Ummmm, Carlisle, yes you are, its kinda obvious" Rosalie said.
He's a really bad liar. I know I would have made a better effort to make my lie believable. Who would doubt me. I'm so beautiful...
I usually avoided Rosalie's selfish thoughts. Jaspar relaxed the mood a little bit. I could tell from his thoughts that he wasn't enjoying the mood in the room. Everyone was getting nervous and anxious.
"Much better" Jaspar said after his loosened the mood in the room.
Edward what's going on. I'm not having any visions about this yet. Come down her and tell us and I know your listening. Besides maybe there's something Carlisle might want to tell you about the Volturi. A clue or something...
I walked downstairs to find all six pairs of eyes looking in my direction. I know I didn't come down often but it wasn't to over exaggerate.
Edward you came down.-Esme
Wow, he finally gets out of his room.-Rosalie
Mann its been a long time since I've seen him. Everytime he gets out I'm somewhere else.-Emment
Edward I know you don't wanna be down her right now. -Jaspar
Edward you listened. -Alice
Carlisle's mind was blank for some reason. It was weird. Now I knew what everyone was talking about. I saw his face in everyone's faces but something about him when he saw me told me things weren't normal. Something was going on and I was certainly sure it was about Italy.
