Laying in bed I begin to drift off, not really being able to think. Edward lays down beside me and I am awake. He kisses me softly and I look up at him, a smile on my lips. A second later he is off of my bed and sniffing the air, silently I sit up. What is he doing?
I get up and stand beside him. "Edward?"
"One second Bella." He says and crosses over to my hamper. I watch as he pulls out one of my t-shirts and smells it. "Someone was here…"
"What?" Edward comes back over to me and takes hold of my hand. "Do you know who?"
"I know the scent, I just can't….place it. We need to do something…" He walks over to my window and stares out of it for a minute and I hear the phone ring. "Go downstairs. I'll wait for you outside."
"What?" But Edward is already out of my window. I walk over to the window and look out into the dark night. "Edward?"
"Bella!" My dad yells from downstairs. I sigh and walk toward my bedroom door. "Come down for a minute! Alice is on the phone!"
I walk down the stairs, fast, almost falling a few times. Once downstairs I take the phone from my dad who is smiling a little. He stands beside me as I put the phone up to my ear.
"Yeah?" I look down at the floor. "Alice?"
"Bella! Are you busy?" I shut my eyes knowing that Alice must have had a vision and where this is going to go. Quietly I respond. "Yay! That's good, then you can come over and keep me company. All of the guys are gone, its just us girls."
"Sure." My voice is dull. "See you in a few minutes Alice. Dad I'm going to the Cullens for the night."
"I already knew." He says and nods toward the staircase. "Alice already filled me in. Have fun, Bells."
Back upstairs I throw a pair of pajamas and an outfit for tomorrow into my backpack. I walk into the bathroom and grab my toothbrush, deodorant and hair brush. Walking back downstairs I grab my keys and say good-bye to Charlie, a part of me wants to stay home so that he's not alone. But I know that if I suggested it he would tell me to go and have a fun time with Alice.
Outside I get into my truck, the passengers side and look over at the drivers seat and smile when I see Edward. He takes my keys and starts up my truck, we back out of the driveway and head toward his house. Both of us are quiet the whole way there and when he opens my door for me is when I think of something to say.
"Do you know who it was?" I ask as he takes my hand and leads me toward the house. "Edward? Was it Victoria?"
"No, it wasn't her. I know the scent and its not hers." He opens the front door and I see his family in the living room. Carlisle stands up and walks toward us. "I think you would know the scent if you smelled it. You should take Jasper or Emmett with you."
"Okay." Carlisle says and turns back to the others. "Jasper, come with me. Emmett, stay with the others."
I watch as Carlisle and Jasper walk out of the house. My eyes drift to Rosalie, who as always looks pissed. Esme and Alice both walk over to me, Edward and Alice stare at each other for a moment. Alice takes me over to the couch and we sit down, Edward stands behind the couch, by me.
"You said that you know the scent." Esme says to Edward. "Who do you think it was?"
"One of the Volturi. My guess would be Jane, Demetri, Alec and Felix's." Edward says, I can feel his eyes on me. "Carlisle should be able to tell. What I don't understand is why they would come to Forks."
"They heard about you and Bella." Rosalie says getting up off the couch. "Humans aren't supposed to know what we are."
I look behind me and up at Edward, who's glaring at Rosalie. "What's the Volturi? Why would they come after me?"
"The Volturi are like the…royals of the vampires. You see, they enforce the rules and make sure that vampires aren't exposed to humans." Edward walks around the couch and sits down beside me. I snuggle into him as he puts his arms around me. "When-I mean if its them they will want me to turn you and soon. They will destroy us if we don't do as they wish."
"So change me." As soon as the words are out of my mouth every eye in the room is on me. "This puts Charlie in danger, doesn't it?"
"Not as much as you." Edward says kissing the top of my head. "They won't touch Charlie since he knows nothing."
I sit beside Edward trying to stay calm, another vampire was in my house. Not just any vampire, but one of the royals. The way that Edward's acting I know that my dad is in more danger then he's ever going to admit. Alice and Emmett leave the house before Carlisle and Jasper return. Neither of them say a word as they leave the house, but Rosalie is glaring at me now, as though I did something wrong. She stomps out of the room and Esme follows her.
"Well…" Edward says a few minutes later when Jasper and Carlisle walk into the house. "What do you think?"
"The Volturi." Carlisle says. "But not Aro or any of them. My guess is Jane and Alec, with a few others perhaps."
Edward takes me up to his room and we lay in bed together. While I'm human I know that I'm putting everyone in danger, shouldn't I just become a vampire so no one will get hurt? Just a few months longer before I can turn, before the wedding. After that Edward and I will be together forever. Closing my eyes I fall asleep in Edward's arms, he is holding me tighter then usual.
I see something, something far away. A small girl….she looks younger then I am, she moves closer-much closer. For a second my eyes close and I open them, there she is, right next to me. Her hair is short and dark, her eyes a blood red. She smiles evilly at me, but her smile quickly fades.
"Wh…who.." I stare at her not knowing what to do. "Who are you?"
"Jane." A voice comes from behind her and a boy a little taller then her with the same dark hair and eyes walks up beside her. "Is this her?"
"Yes…" Jane's smile widens. "This is her, the one we have come for."
