Bella PVO
After saying goodbye to Jasper and thanking him for dropping me off after school, then telling him I'd get a ride to his house tonight instead of him picking me up, even after he promised it was no trouble I told him I would get a ride from Nik cause I was positive I could convince her into joining me tonight for the party Alice had decided to throw me even after I had said I did not want one I knew her heart was in the right place so I couldn't be upset with her
After finishing up the dishes in the sink and cleaning up the mess left over in the kitchen since Nik and Charlie never clean just make messes it was always left up to me not that I minded, I then cleaned up my bedroom picking up my dirty laundry before heading to Charlie's room making his bed and taking his dirty laundry as well, then headed across the hall to Nik's bedroom and started picking up her clothes which was all around her bedroom under her bed, the closet her desk she was always horrible at organizing. A few of her clothes I'd have to throw away cause the blood stains would defiantly not wash away, I then made her bed before closing the door behind me
After a good two hours of cleaning, doing all the laundry then folding and putting them away in there respectable places, I then felt so tired I decided to have a shower to wake me up and wash the sweat I gathered from all my hard work of cleaning up, just as I got out the shower I heard the front door open and close
"Nik? Dad?" I yelled out
"It's me" Came back Nik's reply as I heard her walking past the bathroom as I walked out seeing her standing outside my bedroom I smiled shyly before opening the door and going inside nodding my head for her to follow before I could open my mouth to beg and plead for to come to the Cullen's tonight she beat me to it
"I will join you tonight" I looked her wide eyed and confused she smiled "Charlie had me bring his tackle box and fishing rod to Billy's earlier he mentioned the party and asked me to join you tonight" Answering my unspoken question I gave a little cheer before handing her the dark red dress that was inside with my green one Alice had gotten for us to wear
"A gift from Alice" I answered as she raised an eyebrow holding the dress up to her body
"I hate to admit it but the pixie has a nice eye when comes to fashion" She chuckled as I let out a laugh
"Don't tell her that" I replied she nodded in agreement
"I'll jump in the shower well you get ready then we'll go" She responded before flashing away closing the door behind her, letting a smile on my face knowing she be coming tonight made me happier and I didn't even have to beg Charlie did it for me, letting the thought of Charlie begging on his kneels pleading for her to come like I would of I laughed shaking my head before starting to get ready for tonight

After my nice relaxing shower I had dried my hair and put in lose curled bun, then had to re-touch my make up finally putting on the dress Alice had bought for me and surprisingly really liked it, was blood red with lace straps medium length but since I'm tall it went to my knees, I paired it with a pair of black heels, taking quick glance in the mirror I speed down the stairs seeing Bella all ready she looked so innocent but beautiful with the dark green dress paired with black sweater and converse shoes with a headband to finish
"Don't you look innocent and sweet" I remarked with a chuckle as she blushed looking down at her feet as fidgeted around the hardwood floors
"Alice picked it I just added the sweater" She mumbled so low normal ears wouldn't be able to hear, I just shook my head grabbed her chin to make her look up
"You look great little sister come on you're pansy's waiting" As she groaned following behind me
"Jasper! When are you gonna start calling him it"
"When he earns it"
"How does he do that?"
"Move to the North Atlantic to the bottom of the sea with the Titanic it's ice cold he's ice cold it's a win win suggestion" I winked as she glared settling into the passenger seat as I backed out the driveway
"I think you would like Jasper if you gave him a chance, you and Charlie are so stubborn minded having set in you're minds you hate him and it won't change" She huffed crossing her arms as I drove down the highways back parts of the woods to the Cullen's after I didn't respond it was a silent drive from there as we reached the house she got out the car so fast and ran for the door it didn't surprise me, sighing I got out the car and followed her inside heading straight for the bar in the kitchen and pouring glass of bourbon and then sped to the living room area where everyone was still setting thing ups saving a quick hello I then took to sitting down on the sofa thinking to myself Charlie you owe me big time!

Lights glow from inside the Cullen's beautiful house as I walked with Jasper up the stairs until I was allowed to join the rest of the family downstairs where Alice was finishing setting everything up
As we walked into Carlisle office I looked around the room taking in all the art and tons of books covering the walls and medical supplies before my eyes fell upon an 18th century oil painting, depicting Grecian figures in swirling robes writhing among pillars and balconies, In a high balcony, four calm figures look down upon the bacchanal. two black haired, one snowy white and finally a golden haired man who looked very familiar
"The Volturi are a very old, very powerful family, The closest thing in my world has to royalty" Jasper said into my ear as I jumped in surprise and then continued to study the painting in front of my eyes "Francesco Solimena painted this, he often depicted the Volturi as gods"
"Is that Carlisle" I questioned needing to know I wasn't seeing things that might be fooling my eyes
"Yes, he lived with them for a few decades, He describes them as very refined—for killers" I turned looked him in the eyes asking for him to go on "The Volturi are also what you might call enforcers"
"Of what?"
"The only rule they have, to keep secret the existence of our kind, We don't make spectacles of ourselves, or kill conspicuously, unless we want to die.." He whispered softly and I felt like he was telling me something but I didn't understand at first then came to me he would go to them if he wanted to die…but I can't see Jasper being someone who would beg for death, spinning fast to look him in the eyes I spoke sternly
"Don't even..talk about that, you can't let anyone hurt you, The Volturi or anyone else" He smiled and probably feeling my worry
"Who else would hurt me? Besides you're sister" He chuckled as I let a smile come to my face, forgetting all about mine and Nik's fight from earlier she means well and said something else that's been in my head for few weeks now
"You said there were more dangerous things out there than you, and I know you have at least one enemy" Remembering fiery red haired, evil red dark eyes female vampire from the field "You said she'd come after you for killing her mate" Even though it was Nik who killed him I thought to myself
"Victoria? Yes some day she will, Alice will see her coming and she won't win" He promised
"I hate that I can't protect you" I whispered "But I could if you changed me" He laughed placing a kiss on my cheek
"I know, but you do protect me from boredom, and loneliness, you give me a reason to stay un-dead but it's my job to protect you.." Speaking each word as he dropped a kiss to every part my face then grabbing my hand and smiling
"From everyone but Alice…" As the door bursts open and Alice dances her way in grabbing my hand and dragging me out
"IT'S TIME, IT'S TIME" She laughs in glee
