A/N: Sorry for the wait! Here Ya Go! Review Please
Edward:
"Tomorrow morning, we're going to get married, and then we'll face this together. If it's my transformation that they want…then its what they'll get."
A Transformation. As if her turning into a Vampire could fix everything. This could go so much farther than that, and she didn't realize that. If the Volturi wanted her, they could and would take her and no force—not even both the werewolves and my family could stop them.
I wrapped my arms around her and began to hum her lullaby. I needed her to sleep so I could think. There was so much that could happen; so much to plan out for.
And yet …so little time.
Everything was decorated.
The church was laid out in white and gold. Alice lived up to her expectations and excitements. I hoped Bella wasn't too overwhelmed.
"Edward." A familiar voice startled me; I turned to see Tanya… her face bright and happy; typical of her.
"Tanya."
"Congratulations." She whispered as she hugged me for a moment. I didn't know what to make of her. I hadn't expected her. I wondered if anyone else had. I wondered if Carlisle told her about my marriage to Bella? My thoughts felt so jumbled in the church; everyone was talking.
'She looks beautiful. Who is she?'
'Is the Groom cheating?'
'All the Cullens and their friends look so beautiful…and young…'
'Why haven't we ever seen her before?' I pulled Tanya out of the church so that I could actually have a conversation with her.
"How…Did Carlisle call you?" Tanya shrugged. "We decided that it was time to visit…and what better time to come?" She said with a familiar kind smile. She always seemed to know when to give me such a smile. I knew that she still had a small desire for me: I could tell from her thoughts.
But I also knew that she wasn't over Laurent.
I was suddenly startled with the images of Aro and Marcus's faces flashing through her mind. Distant voices of "the human girl" and "turn her…" echoed throughout her memory. I closed my eyes tightly, wondering if I had honestly just seen that. So, the Volturi were going to play that way? They were going to use Carlisle's own friends against us? Tanya eyes were wide—as if wondering if I had seen her thoughts, but I gave her a comforting smile. She turned away as Alice shouted her name.
I had to find a way to talk to Carlisle before the wedding proceeded…or I never would have the chance.
"Alice, where is Carlisle?"
"Isn't he in the church?" Tanya interrupted. Alice looked at her then to me.
"Why?"
Tanya should have known better. She knew my powers as well as Alice knew.
"I forgot something." I murmured softly. "I just need to take care of something." I was pulling for an excuse, but I came up blank. I turned sharply, heading back into the church. I had to keep a cover to protect Bella.
I was suddenly relieved when I saw his face.
"I need to talk to you…Jacob."
