Chp. 11

Scream

EPOV

I got to Italy faster than I would have thought possible. I waited impatiently as the rest of my family made their way to Italy before doing anything drastic.

Our plan was for Carlisle, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and I to go see if we can go settle this out calmly. Jacob, Seth, Renesmee, Rosalie, and Esme had stayed behind at home to guard Stephanie if this was a trap.

We were just arriving into the throne room of the Volturi castle.

"Ah Cullens, it's a pleasure to see you again." Aro's sickly sweet voice sounded from across the room.

"Where's Bella?" I snapped.

"She's around here somewhere. But you aren't aloud to visit her until-" he was cut off by Alice.

"We know what the deal is Aro, I saw it" she tapped her finger to her temple a couple times.

"Then you already know about my conditions, splendid." He spoke as if this were a friendly gathering.

"We would never agree to it." Carlisle spoke up for the first time.

"Very well then, I guess your dear Isabella will have to stay here forever then." He threatened and was about to speak again until a growl escaped from my lips and interrupted him.

"Carlisle, I'm very sorry about all of this, but the human girl is extremely important to us and we need her." Aro said with fake sincerity.

"Can't you just let her go? I'll stay here instead, just leave her be." I pleaded with him.

"I'm afraid not Edward. Now Cullens, be on your way. We have no more business here." He shooed us.

We headed towards the door. I would find a way to get Bella out of here, or I would die trying. As we were leaving I heard a distant scream. I immediately froze. I recognized that scream, for it was a scream of an angel. My angel, my Bella. I spun on my heel -without thinking about it- and ran as fast as I possibly could towards the distant scream.

BPOV

I was in my room reading one of the many books in the massive collection in my room when there was a light knock on my door. I didn't want to talk to anybody right now, so I just ignored whoever it was. I picked up the scent of the person behind my door. It was William. He kept knocking until he got impatient and barged into the room.

"What do you want?" I demanded.

"I'm supposed to watch you while Aro has an important meeting." I sighed and continued reading.

He came over and sat next to me on my bed, making our bodies touch together. I pushed myself off of the bed and sat in a nearby reading chair.

"I think I know why you don't like being near me." he said enthusiastically.

"If you think it's because I dislike you and you're rude than your correct." I said curtly.

"I think it's because you are attracted to me, but you don't want me to know. I think that's exactly why. You don't want to get too close in fear that you might actually like it around here." He said matter-of-factly.

"I can assure you that that isn't the reason." I was annoyed with him now.

"Oh, but I think it is." He said as he got up from the bed and stood directly in front of me.

"And I think that you want me." He said surely.

"Ew, I would never want anybody but Edward. Never for a million years." I growled.

"Maybe, but I want you, and I always get what I want." He said huskily.

He grabbed me by my waist and pulled me up from where I was sitting. He began assaulting my lips with his own forcefully, while I struggled to push him away. I shook my head and kept my lips in a tight line, but he only moved down to my neck. He pushed me onto the bed and pinned me down, still kissing my neck. As soon as my lips were free I screamed as loud as I could.

"Help me! Someone please help me!" I yelled and screamed.

Suddenly my door burst open, flying off of the hinges. Before I could see who it was, William was off of me and I was in another person's arms.

"Bella" a voice that I would recognize anywhere breathed.

"Edward?" I asked a bit confused, but threw my arms around his neck. I smothered every inch of his face and neck with kisses, any part of him I could get my lips on.

I reluctantly pulled back so I could look into his eyes which were now black with rage and lust. I felt a smile spread across my face, and he returned it with my favorite half smile of his.

I felt myself lean in to kiss him, but he was abruptly ripped away from my arms and thrown into a wall behind us.

"Get away from her!" William roared as he walked over to where Edward was now crouched.

William threw himself at Edward, but he lightly dodged his attack.

"What the hell do you think you were doing to my wife?" Edward said with fury clear in his voice. He grabbed William and pinned him to a wall by the throat.

"Just trying to show her a good time" William looked over to me and winked.

Edward was more furious than I had ever seen him. He started throwing punches left and right, only stopping to rip one of William's arms off.

The whole time this was happening, I was on the floor dry sobbing. After what felt like an eternity, I was reunited with Edward. I was crying pure, non-existent tears of joy.

Edward was about to rip off William's head when Aro, Felix, Demetri, Zane, and my family flitted into the room.

Felix and Demetri restrained Edward while Zane ushered William out the door.

"Be calm Edward, you're making me want to kill somebody over here." Jasper tried to speak calmly, but his voice came out strained.

"Get off of me." Edward shrugged out of Felix and Demetri's hold on him.

He began to walk towards me but was pulled back by Felix.

"I'm sorry, but Isabella is coming with us, and you will be leaving." Aro spoke with utmost confidence.

Edward turned his head slightly toward Aro to give the most frightening glares I've ever seen.

"I will not leave without her." He spoke in a very menacing voice, barely above a whisper.

"All you have to do is give us Stephanie, and you may take your wife and leave." Aro spoke in a warm voice.

"That will never happen." Edward growled.

"Very well then, you have five minutes to say goodbye to Isabella, we won't be listening. Then you will be escorted out." Aro spoke and motioned Felix and Demetri to follow him out.

I ran over to my family and embraced each one of them. Alice was the last and she was dry sobbing into my shoulder when she hugged me. She whispered "We'll find a way" over and over again into my ear. She blanked out for a few seconds, then shot Edward a look before exiting the room. Normally I would have asked what she saw, but right now I didn't care. We had two minutes left to say goodbye.

He ran over to me and crushed me into his chest while I dry sobbed. I looked up into his eyes -filled with anguish- and placed my hand on his cheek.

"I love you, more than anything else in the world. I'm so sorry." He spoke first.

I could barely make my voice come out. "I love you more."

He chuckled at that. "I doubt that."

I was about to say something else until his lips came crashing down on mine. As we kissed, I felt something slip into my pocket, but I could care less right now. This could very possibly be our last moment together, nothing would interrupt our goodbye.

I heard somebody step through my door, but I only pulled myself tighter to Edward, clinging to him like a lifeline.

"Mr. Cullen, you must leave now." Demetri's voice sounded.

Edward sighed, his sweet breath washing over my face. He placed one last kiss gently on my forehead and walked through the door behind Demetri.

I broke down as I watched him leave. Half of my night was spent curled in a ball on my floor, doing nothing.

At about four in the morning I remembered that Edward had slipped something into my pocket while we were kissing. I fumbled around in my jacket pocket until I retrieved a very sleek, expensive looking cell phone. I recognized it immediately to be Edward's. I opened it carefully and saw that there was a text message.

It read:

Bella, we are going to get you out of there. Don't call us unless you're far away from everybody, so they don't overhear. We can text message each other to make a plan for you to escape. I love you. –Edward.

My fingers danced across the keys as I quickly formed my reply:

Edward, I don't want to put Stephanie in any danger, what are we going to do once I escape? I love you as well. I miss you terribly already and you've only been away for hours. Tell Renesmee I love her too. -Bella.

I sat in my bed, waiting for his next message. The phone buzzed and I opened it quickly.

You don't know what it's like not having you around. We will get you back, we just need to figure out how. Are there any areas that aren't guarded very well? Or when do they let you out to hunt?

I thought about what he had said and then it clicked.

Every door is heavily guarded. The windows all can't open at all, they are not made that way. But there is this art room, it has a huge sliding glass door. I don't think they know that I know it is there, because there are no guards or cameras or anybody in there.

He replied back faster than I thought possible.

When and where do you want me to be?

I had to think about this. Should I wait a few more days to sneak away, maybe I could do it while they were feeding on innocent humans. They all got pretty distracted when that was occurring. I think they will be eating tomorrow –well, actually today- around five or six at night.

Be outside the art room window at five thirty tonight. I have to go, I need to hide this phone before anybody comes to check on me. I will see you tonight. I love you.

His reply was short, but sweet.

Goodnight my love. My heart is always with you.

I sighed as I shut the phone and slid it into a drawer on my bedside table. It was going to be a long day before Edward gets here.

After a few more hours in my room, I set off to find the music room. When I got inside I made a beeline to the grand piano in the far left corner of the room. I sat down on the enormous bench and pressed my fingers to the keys. Edward had taught me how to play a little, and I had nothing else to do. My fingers danced gracefully across the keys, playing something I didn't recognize. I let myself go as I played the music, not caring what it sounded like. I just felt closer to him when I was playing.

I had closed my eyes while I was playing, imagining being home with Edward and Renesmee again. I noticed that if I thought of happy things, my music sounded happier and more upbeat. But whenever I thought of something like missing my family, the sound came out dreary and glum.

When I opened my eyes I found William sitting beside me on the piano bench. Would he ever just leave me alone? I fought the urge to punch him in the face, only restraining myself by the troubled look in his eyes.

"What?" I tried to be calm so I didn't try to kill him.

"I'm-I'm so sorry Bella. I lost myself back there. I was caught up in the moment. Please say you forgive me. I didn't mean to hurt you." He begged me with puppy dog eyes.

I sighed angrily. I still wasn't over what he tried to do to me. "Yeah whatever."

"I'm serious Bella. I guess you don't have to forgive me. I don't deserve your forgiveness. But I just wanted to let you know that I truly am sorry. I crossed a line today."

"Yes, you did, you crossed a huge line! If it weren't for Edward being somewhere in hearing distance, you would have raped me! That is not something I can easily forgive William." I was about to lose it.

"I know, I know. I feel disgusted with myself. Bella, I never want to hurt you ever. I think I'm in love with you." He kept his eyes on his hands lying in his lap while speaking.

"In love with me? You haven't known me for more than a week!" I shouted at him.

"Ever since I first laid eyes on you, I haven't been able to stop think-"

I cut him off. "Stop it, just stop! I don't want to hear it. It doesn't even matter, I'm married." I held up my left hand with my ring on it.

"I know your married, I just thought you might want to know." He said forlornly.

"Yeah well I don't. I don't care about some thing you think is love." I said harshly.

"Sorry, I'll just go." He sighed, closed his eyes, and got up. He walked slowly toward the door and shut it behind him.

I felt sorry for him, well, almost sorry for him. Even if he tried to hurt me, I still felt a bit of sympathy for the poor boy. I hated him though, that would never change.

I sighed inwardly and peeked at the clock on the opposite wall as where I'm sitting. It read 2:30, only three hours until I see Edward again. I decided I would pack a few things when I go. A few books, a change of clothes from my armoire and a pair of shoes I know Alice would adore. I also retrieved Edward's phone from my bedside table's drawer and added that to my bag.

I stowed my little runaway bag under my bed and waited as patiently as I could until I could see my angel again.

Thank you for reading! Reviews are delightful!
