Chapter 13 - Krystal's Abduction
The following morning, Emmett jogged down stairs and was about to turn into the kitchen but he looked down the stairs and noticed there was an envelope sitting by the front door on the floor. Emmett jogged down the stairs and picked up the white envelope. As he jogged back up the stairs and turned into the kitchen, Esme was staring out the window watching as the sun shone over the tree tops and she could feel the sunlight on her face.
Emmett walked over and kissed her cheek and Esme said, "Morning baby boy." Emmett chuckled and said, "Morning...I haven't exactly been a baby boy for a while." Esme giggled and said, "Well, you're my baby boy so I don't care." Emmett said, "So I asked Krystal to marry me last night." Esme's face lit up and she said, "Well don't keep me in suspense...What did she say?" Emmett said, "She said yes." Esme said, "Really? And you're ready?" Emmett said, "I couldn't be more ready."
Esme saw the envelope lying on the counter and said, "What's this?" Emmett said, "Not sure...It was on the floor by the front door." Esme picked it up and it said the last name of the family across the middle of it. Esme didn't think anything of it as she opened it up. Esme suddenly gasped out, Emmett said, "What's wrong Es?" Esme said, "They are pictures." Emmett said, "Pictures? What kind?"
Esme held up the Polaroid's as she turned them so Emmett could see them. Esme said, "It's Krystal...The Volturi have her." Emmett snatched the pictures out of Esme's hand as Esme called for Carlisle and the rest of the family. Emmett stared at the pictures and could feel his blood boiling, Krystal was tied up and hanging on what looked like a brick wall and had duct tape over her mouth. Emmett said, "Carlisle...What can we do?" Carlisle said, "Do you think she's still alive?" Emmett said, "I don't think she would go down without a fight. But these pictures are not okay with me." Carlisle said, "Harness your anger Emmett...You're going to want to use it when you need it...And not before then." Emmett nodded.
Everyone got ready...Apparently they were going to Volterra, Italy.
Aro walked into the room and looked at the girl...She was small compared to most of the humans they picked to drink from. He saw the ring on her left hand and knew she was special to someone. Aro walked up and placed his hand on her arm...Suddenly the visions went whizzing through is mind. All he saw was visions of Emmett Cullen and the rest of the Cullen clan. He watched as the vision went to Emmett asking the small girl to marry him. Aro knew that if this girl meant anything to the Cullen family they would be there to collect her personally.
Aro walked back to the hall and saw Marcus and Caius and said, "The Cullen's will be coming for her soon. How pissed off they will be, is unknown." Marcus said, "She knows too much, we have to find out what their true intentions are for her." Caius said, "They have a few decisions to make...They allowed Rosalie to be killed. Which is unacceptable." Marcus said, "They are supposed to protect our kind. If someone has done something to make us look bad we are supposed to deal with them and hand out the punishment and enforce the rules and laws." Aro said, "Fully agreed...We will deal with everything once they get here."
Emmett sat on the plane staring out the window, for the first time in his life he was terrified...Terrified of losing Krystal. Terrified of what would happen when they finally got to Volterra. He just kept staring out the window.
Someone touched his arm and he looked over and it was Alice. She said, "Don't worry Emmett she's okay...I saw her...She's still alive." Emmett said, "Alice...Stop. I just don't want this on my mind right now...I don't want to be the first thing I do is kill every single member of the damn Volturi."
Emmett spent the remainder of the plane trip in agonizing pain.
