AN: I am so sorry, my internet has been down since last Friday and it just barely got back up.
Chapter 11
"You took your time. Me and Victoria have been worried Edward. I mean with Bella being a new born." I sighed having already heard all of his speech from his head.
"She behaved beyond extraordinary James your fears are pointless." I replied tensely. As much as I didn't want to admit it Emmett's words had bothered me. Especially the fact that everyone seemed to remember the human memories to a point so why not me?
"I'm sorry Edward it's just been a tense couple of days. Umm you remember the Volturi correct?"
"Yes. Why?"
"They'll be here tomorrow they wished to speak with us. You WILL be here."
"Of course. Now I need to go hunting."
"NO Edward please don't I can't stand the thought." I looked at Victoria my eyes pleading. She seemed to understand.
"Bella can you help me with something?"
"Sure." She gave me a forlorn look as if pleading with me. She followed Victoria out the door.
"Edward what's bothering you?"
"Nothing James it's just been stressful couple of days."
"Don't lie to me Edward. I sired you remember."
"Yes I know."
"Then?"
"Why don't I have human memories? I mean everyone else does. Why not me?"
"What brought this on? Since when did memories of your human years bother you?" James asked trying not to laugh. "Oh Romeo, Romeo where…"
"IF IT'S NOT IMPORTANT WHY ARE YOU BLOCKING ME?" I yelled.
"EDWARD!" I winced but did not regret it. They were keeping something from me.
"Sorry SIR."
"Now you WILL put all this foolishness out of your mind. Do I make myself clear?"
"As Vampires Eyes." I replied before leaving the room in a huff. I went into my bedroom and just laid on the bed.
~Next Day`
I was still lying on my bed. My life had turned around so much since I was turned. I mean first I'm required to play a kidnapper then I fall in love with the kidnapped after thirsting for her blood more than any other humans. Than she gets turned and it seems nothing I do will get her attention. 'AGH!!" I screamed.
"Who was that dear James?' I immediately tuned into the conversation downstairs.
"That was Edward he's been having a ruff week. Shall I summon him?"
"No I wish to speak with you."
"As you wish master. Please come into the sitting room. Victoria bring Bella. Laurent and Felix will you fetch some humans?
"NO!" I laughed at Bella's yell.
"Excuse me child?"
"You will not bring humans in here unless I'm miles away." I heard her enter the main room with Victoria. The door shut making it harder for me to hear her. I stood up and snuck down the stairs being extremely cautious. I took a seat outside the door.
"It's nice to meet you Bella. And do not worry we feasted only we attempted to feast we do not need more. As I've been introduced I'm Aro such an interesting child. Hmm I wonder about her aversion to human blood. Maybe she would consider…later
And this is Jane and Alec. They are my personal body guards the others stayed behind with another family I've grown an attachment to" I saw a man who was on a bed screaming while a woman, his wife I assume, was being held in the corner. And a girl around nineteen was crying in her arms. 'we'll be back soon Macen. You may have your fun. DON'T LET HIM KILL HIS WIFE AND GIRL!' the family was the same one that Emmett had been thinking about. What was the connection though? So obviously they were going to allow this dad to drink from his wife and girl but not kill them why? James interrupted my thoughts and Aro's.
"Hence your meal gone array?" Vic asked.
"Your correct Victoria. Now James please tell me all of your covens powers."
"Of course as you know I am a Tracker as is Laurent. We believe Bella has the ability of a shield as Edward can not read her mind."
"May I child." I heard him shuffle around and than grab Bella's hand I quickly suppressed my growl. "how interesting. Yes she must be a shield" "Quite remarkable, yes very remarkable. Your mind is completely closed off. Now how about the others?"
"Felix has the ability to erase minds. We would have erased Bella's however her mind being blocked."
"Can they be returned?"
"Only if Felix is killed or willingly gives them up. Edward's were taken away." James voice was now a dead whisper even to my ears. Felix has the ability to erase minds. Then my memories…they took them. Why? Unless Emmett was right? I couldn't take it I barged into the room.
"YOU STOLE MY MEMORIES!" Everyone winced. James was on his feet in an instant and Jane and Alec were in front of Aro.
"Jane calm him down." I yelled as I felt like I was being electrocuted.
"STOP!" And it did I looked up to see Bella standing in front of me. I stood up to see that Jane was now glaring at Bella but to no avail. 'Quite interesting indeed' Aro thought as he watched the interaction.
"Stop Jane it will do no good."
"I WANT MY MEMORIES BACK FELIX!" He looked at me I could see regret in his eyes. Aro now completely forgotten.
"I'm sorry Edward I can't James owns us Edward he sired us as much as we didn't want to be here in the first place."
"So what Emmett told me was true." I asked looking at James. I could see Victoria's smirk.
"EMMETT?"
"Yes me and Bella ran into him. He said you kidnapped me and all this stuff. And now I'm starting to believe him." James was silent. "You did didn't you! WHY! Felix please give me my memories. Please." He nodded and I saw him concentrate. And then it hit me. I stormed out of the house after an argument me being dragged around by James and Victoria. James biting me followed by my turning…they kept coming all preserved. I let out a gasp. James was sitting with his eyes concentrating on me. And then Emmett throwing me a ball with two people watching, my parents…Carlisle Esme. Alice was at school. My parents the same people who Emmett was thinking of the same who Aro had ordered to change.
"NO!" I rounded on Aro "you didn't. WHERE ARE THEY!" Aro looked amused at me enjoying this whole exchange. Now looking slightly confused.
"Where is who Edward?"
"The family who you are allowing Macen to torture!"
"How?"
"I can read minds."
"Really that is remarkable you can hear what I'm thinking?"
"Yes! Now where are they. Never mind you wont help. I'm leaving good bye James. I turned to Victoria. "Thank you for everything Vic." she nodded. I turned to Bella. "Bella…?"
"I'm coming with!" I smiled grateful and we ran into the night following Aro's trail.
