Ok so it has been a few days….or a week but I was at a camp! But I'm back and writing and that is all that matters! So I left off with Bella with the Volturi and Edward off at a bar? Not like Edward huh? But I am trying to get the characters more on track than the last chapter so here is big #11!
Edwards POV
I was sitting there across from Jasper, just staring off into space, wondering when this guy's night would end. We needed to get my Bella and no one was doing anything about it! I'm scared for her. Alice too.
"EDWARD!"
I jolted from my thinking, looking around like an idiot.
"Edward, we have been trying to get your attention for the past five minutes. What are you doing?"
"Guys, I can't help but think of Bella. Anywhere we go, she is at the top of my mind! Why aren't we doing anything to get her back? I know you all love her too."
"Just not as much as you," Emmet was thinking.
"Emmet I heard that!"
Emmet laughed, "Well it's true!"
"Boys, boys. Edward, we have to wait until they get to Volterra. Or else they will be onto us that we are following them. When we get back to the house, we will start making the plan."
I nodded my head and began drinking my soda. I know vampires aren't supposed to eat human things but as I have told Bella, I can eat it, it just doesn't taste the best!
We all had a few more drinks before it was time to leave. All of us piled back into the Jeep and drove to the house.
I opened the front door to see Esme and Rosalie painting their nails. Esme looked like she was having a great time but something about Rosalie just didn't seem right.
"Carlisle, go ahead and get everyone together…..but Rosalie."
Rosalie turned to face me. "Why do I need to stay?"
"I want to speak with you for a second." She followed me up the stairs and into my room.
I shut the door and sat on me and Bella's bed. She came and sat next to me.
"Yes Edward? What do you want to talk about?"
"You don't seem yourself. You seem kind of sad. Is something the matter? I am your brother and you can tell me anything!"
She smiled. Then her smile faded and she paused. Finally she spoke. "It's Bella. I'm worried about her and have been since you boys left. I haven't liked Bella since you brought her home. And the talk we had did nothing much for me."
"But now, she seems to be growing on me. I really would like to start being better friends with her. You know not just family."
I grinned at her. I am glad she is opening up to me. Also glad she likes Bella now. I nodded my head telling her to continue.
"I think we need to save her. If we don't, she will turn into another Aro. And we don't need another one of those! One is enough!"
We laughed and stood up. "I get your pain Rosalie because I feel the same!" I gave her a tight hug and started to the stairs.
"Edward?" I stopped and turned.
"Yeah Rose?"
"Will you not speak of this to anyone? Not even to Emmet or Esme. Or even Carlisle. Please."
"I promise you I won't, Rosalie. You can trust me."
We both walked out of the room and into the living room with the rest of the family. Everyone was in a different chair, talking away.
"Ahem." Everyone watched us walk into the room and smiled.
"Ok then. Since everyone is here, we can get started."
Carlisle laid out a piece of white cardboard paper to write on. He defiantly had the best handwriting of the family so I could tell he would be the one to write down our plan.
"What I think we should do is make a distraction," said Carlisle.
"There will be a parade in four days. It will be held in Volterra and everyone who is anyone will be there."
"Then why weren't we invited?" Of course Emmet was the one to ask that.
We all started laughing. "Because Emmet. I don't think the Volturi like us very much!"
"Ok everyone! Let's not get distracted by Emmet's ignorance!"
I started chuckling. I usually never laugh. Except when I'm with Bella. She always makes me laugh.
"So we will threaten the Volturi that if they don't release Bella, we will show ourselves to humans. Then I'm hoping they will chase us down so we can lead them back here to Forks."
"That is where you come in, Edward. You will go around Volterra and swoop in to rescue Bella while the Volturi chase us. Most likely there will be someone guarding her like she is a prisoner. To them she is one. One big experiment."
I hated how he was speaking of my love. Like she is nothing but a toy. Getting tossed around from place to place.
"I'm sorry Edward. But this is the truth. This is why we are rescuing her."
I nodded at him. He smiled and continued.
"I'm pretty sure you can take whoever is guarding her. Take him or her down and then rescue Bella. I'll send Alice a message to tell her what we are going to do. Edward, I'm afraid you and Bella will have to leave once you get to her. The Volturi will be looking for you for a while and the first place they will look is Forks."
He is right. Bella and I aren't safe in Forks any longer. Maybe we can convince Charlie to move with us. Bella needs a parent around sometimes.
"Alright. Since I know my side of the plan, I'm going to go look at places where me and Bella can go. I may even buy a house there. You know, lay low for a while. I think Bella will enjoy that."
"I think your right, Edward. Go ahead. If there are any drastic changes, I will come and get you."
"Thank you, Carlisle."
I walked up the stairs and into Carlisle's office. Where are Bella and I going to go? France? Rome? China? No I got it. We will move to Australia. I'm sure people are nice there and it's far from Forks. It will be a long plane ride but we can manage.
We will blend in as humans so we can't run there. Get a normal house, normal cars. It will be just like Forks but better!
I bought our plane tickets and my new Volvo, I changed the color and license plate, and I'm now looking for a house. I don't know what Bella wants but I'm sure stairs aren't included.
I ended up buying a one story house with a lot of trees and flowers in the yard. The inside is nice and roomy and the furniture is set far apart so Bella will not be tripping in this new house. Or, so I hope.
Bella's POV
This is the longest car ride I have ever been in. It is bumpy, and cold. Colder than the skin on my arms. I can tell Alice is just as uncomfortable as I am.
We aren't aloud to talk. Or barely move for that matter. Only noises were my slow breathes. After a while Aro turned to stare at me and I just completely quit breathing.
After a few hours, we pulled up to a factory looking building. Smoke was rising from pipes at the top. This can't be where they are training me at!
"Don't worry, Bella. This isn't where we are starting the training. We have to get a few supplies here first."
I nodded my head and squeezed out a small smile, just for their convenience. Then they walked off and only Alice and I were left in the small, freezing, locked car.
"Alice, why hasn't Edward or Carlisle…or anyone done anything to rescue us yet? Are they even thinking of us?"
I looked out the window, afraid of escaping tears. Alice put a hand on my shoulder. When I glanced over at her, she was in vision mode.
After a minute or two she came out of it, huge smile plastered on her angelic face.
I smiled, "What is it, Alice?"
"Oh Edward hasn't QUIT thinking of you! They are all making a plan as we speak! But I do have one piece of bad news."
My smile faded to a worried frown.
"And?"
"Well after this plan takes action, you and Edward might have to be on the run for a while. Like a year while. He wants to move to Australia. There are some vampire friends of ours there and they say they like it there. That is probably where he got the idea. Are you ok?"
This is going all so fast! Australia? What about Charlie? Renee? The Cullen's?
"We will all be fine, Bella. I promise you! But here come Aro and them so not another word about it ok?"
"Yeah ok Alice."
I couldn't start crying or they would know we were up to something. I started playing with my thumbs. It helps some.
"Ok Bella, Alice. Now we are off to the lab. Alice just to tell you, you are free to leave any time you like. Actually you are probably a bit of a set back for us!"
I had to hold Alice's hand's down which are now balled up into fists. She would punch him if I would let her.
"Thank you……..Aro" It was hard for her to get a thank you out after what he said.
The next thing I know, we are pulled up to a 20 story high white building with mirror glass windows. This is it.
I feel horrible in my stomach now. I was alright with this all at first. Until Aro whipped out the eternity with him. My eternity is to be spent with Edward and Edward only. Not some vampire kidnapper, jerk, thing, guy!
I had to play with my thumbs again. It isn't working as well now.
"Ok Bella and Alice. Get out of the car and walk directly behind me. Any sudden movements or escape plans, it will be the end of both of you!"
Ok I love this chapter! The plan, Edwards destination plan….just all of it! If there are ANY questions about any of my previous chapters I would love answering them for you. But I have a few questions for all of you!
What are some Australian names? Are they different from American names? What are some common ones?
What kind of parade should it be?
What should Edward and Bella's house look like in Australia? Beside it being one story.
Should they take Charlie and Renee and Phil along too?
What kind of things should Aro do to Bella before Edward rescues her?
I was thinking of Bella just finally becoming full vampire and giving Aro her gift so they will quit chasing after her. What do you think about that?
I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it! And seriously there had better be more that 5 reviews in the little box before I write again or else. And you don't wanna know what the else means! Love ya!
Future Mrs. Edward Masen Cullen!
