Exams are done! Sorry for the long wait, but I also had food poisoning. So here it is chapter 9.
GPOV
I went upstairs and took a long relaxing shower. I found my comfy black pants and a big sweat shirt and I put them on. I tied my hair up into a high ponytail and went downstairs. It was still pretty early, and I had to figure out a way to leave without the Cullen's knowing or else they would try and convince me not to go. I looked at the clock at it said 7:00, I still had five hours to kill until I had to go meet Peter.
I pulled out my ipod and I laid down on the bed. Music would calm me a little. I'm not going to lie I was a bit nervous to meet Peter because tonight I would find out everything. I needed to know why he was here. I didn't know how long I stayed in my bed listening to music until I heard Alice calling me name from downstairs. I took off my ipod and I looked at the block at it read 10:30, sheesh I listened to music that long.
I took my time going downstairs because they were all blocking me which could only mean they had something to talk about with me. Joy. They were all assembled in the living room and they all looked pissed.
"Whats up?" I asked trying to act normal.
"Alice had a vision just a couple minutes of go" Edward said simply and by the looks of it, he wasn't too pleased with her vision. I nodded my head which must have encouraged him to continue. "She had a vision of you leaving … to go meet Peter in the middle of the woods" he said frowning and I noticed all of them had a look of worry on there faces.
I didn't know what to say. I was going no matter what. "Um… cool?" I said
"Gabriella! You under no circumstances are going to meet this Peter guy! He attacked you and now you're just going to run off after him. Why?" Edward asked and I leaned against the wall sighing. If they only knew why I was going to meet him … if they only knew what I was capable of.
"It's none of your business" I stated simply.
"Yes it is! Your our daughter and I will not let you do this. This is just too dangerous. There is no reason for you to talk to him or to meet him." Bella said and I knew I was hurting her really bad.
"Gabriella, please tell us why you think you need to go to him." Jasper said softly and I could tell that he was trying to understand.
I didn't know what to say that would convince them to just let me go. They obviously wanted an explanation. So I decided to give them one. I sighed and I said "I'm going because it's my job"
They all looked shocked and confused. Emmett was the first one to speak up. "Your job? What are you talking about?"
"Nothing. That's the only explanation you'll get." I said looking at the clock. It was about 11:30 I hadn't realized how much time had passed. "Well I got to go." I said turning to leave but I found myself walking into my father.
"No listen, you're not going anywhere at least not until you explain to us what you mean by its your job" he said sternly.
"No actually, you listen. I'm going. This is part of my job and if you don't get out of my way I'll make you stay and trust me there will be no ounce of guilt after I do so." I said harshly and I saw a flash of pain cross my fathers eyes.
Instead of him moving though, my two uncles stood behind him as if to try to stop me. I didn't want to have to do this.
"I'm sorry, but if this is how you want things to be then, it will." I said and then I made all the Cullen's go into a sleep like trance, like I had done to my father at my house.
Don't do this Gabriella please, I'm begging you. I heard the thoughts of my father as I left the house. As I started running into the forest I did feel a slight guilt for putting all the Cullen's in that trance but I pushed that thought at the back of my mind as I picked up Peters scent. I followed his scent and I found myself in a clearing. He was leaning up against a tree and I could help but look at what he was wearing. Peter cleaned up nicely.
"Hello lover. I'm actually surprised you came. You were able to escape your family. Good for you." He said smiling. God he has a nice smile. I thought but then I remembered where I was and why I was here.
"Why do you keep doing that?" I asked.
"Doing what?" Peter asked genuinely confused.
"One minute you're like some pure evil guy and then the next your like laughing as if were best friends." I said annoyed.
He frowned at what I said and then he started walking towards me and I took a step back. "Listen I'm sorry for well the other times we met, but that was before I got to know you. I'm not even supposed to be seeing you." He said stopping in front of me.
"Then explain it to me. You're the one who came to me." I said getting extremely confused.
"You are part of the Volturi's guard, and you were sent here because of some army correct?" He asked and I nodded my head.
"What if I told you that I am apart of the coven that is building this army." He said.
"I don't understand why you are here then." I said going and sitting down on a nearby rock.
"Okay before I met you I had every intention of killing you that was why I was sent here. Ben, the leader of the coven wanted all threats eliminated and then here you were but when I met you that first day I couldn't kill you. I wanted to get to know you. So I didn't go back to Ben and I still haven't. Instead I've been following you and I realized that I couldn't bring myself to cause harm to you. I've listened to what you've been through, what you've been going through and I just can't do it. I want to help you." He said and he looked at me apprehensive of my response.
"Oddly enough I believe you." I said.
"Really? Just like that?" He asked a little shocked.
"Well no not just like that. I have a power of control and I used it to make sure you would tell the truth." I said looking at him and I saw a smile playing on his lips.
"Okay well where do we go from here?" He asked
"I'm not sure. Right now I think I just need to go back home and talk to the Cullen's. I need to think, this is quite a lot to take in. I mean I believe you and all. But it's just kind of weird how all a sudden you want to help me against your coven." I said.
"It's really not that sudden. I never agreed about what they were doing and for that I was punished. They told me that if I didn't do what they said that they would kill my younger brother." Peter said.
"Okay well um… I'll meet you here again tomorrow night same time, alright?" I asked peering up at him. Man was he tall.
"Alright" He said and I turned to walk away.
Sweet dreams lover. He thought and I couldn't help but laugh a little.
As I ran home all I thought about what I would tell the Cullen's. Was it the right time to tell them about my secret? Would they even be able to accept it?
I walked into the Cullen's house and everyone was still in there trance. I brought them out of it.
"Gabriella! You're alright!" Bella said and she pulled me into a hug.
"I'm fine but I have something to tell you all.' I said looking at each of there faces and then I took a deep breath and I said "I'm a member of the Volturi's guard, this is why I am here."
The fun is just beginning! REVIEW GUYS. xo
