Chapter 12: Bella meets the Volturi.
Alice, Bella, and I follow Jane and Felix down a dark hallway that leads to an elevator. The Volturi has been in the build for about three hundred years but with the way they hunt they always have enough money to modernize the build. It is hard to believe that such a beautiful building holds such an evil group of people. Alice walks directly behind Jane and Felix and I am behind Alice with Bella holding my hand trying to keep her as close to me as possible.
We all get into the elevator and Bella sees that turn styles and a desk with a very pretty woman sitting at it. Her name is Gianni she stands up and says "Buon pomeriggio." This means good afternoon and Italian and we keep walking to large beautifully carved door. There we find the three of them Aro, Marcus, and Caius sitting on large regal throne looking chairs these men are the royalty for my world and the certainly like to look the part. Aro leaped up and came toward us saying "So she is alive." Reaching for my hand which I willing gave him my hand and in one moment he knew what is going on between Bella and me. Aro replied "I want to see if she can keep me out as well." Reaching for Bella's hand and she looked at me I nodded that it would be okay. Aro started laughing like a little school boy saying "She is blank to me I read nothing."
Aro wanted to see if she was immune to Jane and then that's when I ran in between Jane and Bella. I took the full blunt of Jane's fire attack and my knee buckled and I fell to the floor. Bella started crying in shock asking to stop hurting me and try her. Aro redirected Jane attention too Bella saying in a sick way "This is going to hurt you are you ready." Jane looking at Bella and with disbelief Bella felt nothing from Jane and it made her mad. Never in Jane's life since she has been changed has she never met someone that was completely immune to her gift of fiery pain.
Then he wanted to see if Bella was immune to Alec's gift as well. Alec's gift is to make somebody numb he was used when they wanted to be merciful with their executions taking the pain out of what they were doing. I looked at Aro and said "That's enough no more testing her." Marcus looked at Aro and said "She knows too much. We can't let her live." Demetri got his single from and Aro and started to head towards Bella. I stepped between them flipping Bella on her feet behind me Alice flipped Felix and knocked him out for a few minutes. I started fighting with Demetri getting him further way from Bella I lifted him up with one hand through him into the wall leaving a dent in it. Demetri came running toward me and went to grab me I countered the move and grabbed him instead. Then Demetri grabs me and throws me up into the ceiling and I come down hard. Next thing I know I am on my knees with Alec and Felix grabbing my arms and Demetri with him trying to take off my head.
In the midst of this I hear Alice yelling for everyone to stop and calling for Aro. "I will be the one that does it. Bella will be one of us and I can show you." Alice said. Aro speed toward her not worrying about moving at human speed and saw the vision that Alice had to show him. I was able to see it at the same time I couldn't believe it my Bella one of us. There was beautiful as ever and she and I were hunting. Aro said "What a gift it is to see what is going to happen before it does. Go my young friends and make you plains for this." And with that he let us go without a second thought. As we were walking out a woman named Heidi comes walking in with a tourist group of all ages. I pull Bella in tighter to me Alice and I try to block her vision but, it didn't work and she looked back just before the doors closed and heard the horrified screams of the crowd as the Volturi descended upon them. Bella was so exhausted that she fell asleep in the car on the way to airport and I held her the entire way there and on the flight. The biggest mistake in my life was me leave her and I promised myself that I would never to that again and that I would make it up to her somehow and I just hoped she could forgive me.
