Ella POV
"Is she awake?"
"I don't know."
"Ella... Can you hear me?" I heard the voices but my eye's refused to open. I was in a really comfortable position, and my body was telling me to rest a little longer.
"Please Ella. You need to wake up." I leaned in deeper to the cold stone that I was finding so comfortable. I just wanted to sleep a little longer. Get some peace from this nightmare. I wasn't ready to know if a fight had broken out. If anyone in my family got hurt. I just wanted to sleep.
I pressed my face into the cold skin feeling relaxed. But then froze. Cold stone... My eye's popped open in an instant, and instead of seeing a giant russet wolf, I saw my dads eye's. Had I really been out that long?
"Dad?" My dad smiled down at me, his smile was the best fatherly trait he had. I sat and was stunned to see where we were. It was the receptionist office where Gianna worked. This had to be a dream... I just couldn't be here. I had been safe. Free from the Volturi. I couldn't be back. I just couldn't. "How are you?" My father asked placing a loose strand of hair behind my ear. I shook my head completely lost. Why would my parent's bring me back here?
Aro came into the office suddenly, followed by Alec. Alec stood against Gianna's desk, while Aro stood completely straight. They stared at me with a hint of guilt, but a whole lot of disappointment. And then Jane entered. Entered with that glare that would mark me for life. That's when I knew this had to be a dream. My father wouldn't force me to be here without my say so.
They walked toward us, and Aro smiled at me weakly. 'Hello Ella. I'd like to have a word.' Aro's thoughts only made me more anxious. My dad held me closely watching me from the corner of his eye. I looked around and the whole family was smiling at me. Why would they do this to me? I had to get out of here. I didn't want to face this nightmare again. 'Ella... You need to calm down.' The thought came from Jasper, and he hesitated toward me. 'Ella. Every things okay.' Dad thought, after reading Jasper's mind. He rubbed my shoulder assuringly but by that point I was way past panic.
"No!" My dad grabbed hold of me as I tried to run. He pulled me back on the leather couch I had been sitting on. I wasn't ready to die. I didn't want to be a vampire. "No! Leave me alone!" My dad held me tightly trying to calm me.
"Ella. It's all over. Nobody is going to hurt you now. They just want to talk." I didn't believe him one bit. All I wanted was to go home. Why couldn't I do that?
"Let go!" I cried, and tried to squirm from my father's hold. "Please Ella. Just calm down. The dangers over." Dad kissed the top of my head, making me freeze.
"Sweetie. Nobody is going to hurt you." My mom's cool hand suddenly touched my skin, and I jumped. I looked up and saw her beautiful gold eye's staring at me. My dad had released his grasp on me, and without thinking, I jumped from the couch into my mothers arms. Then I broke into sobs. She stroked my hair as she held me tightly to her.
"I want to go home." I managed to say through my sobs.
"I know sweetie. We'll go home as soon as we get the chance."
"Which is very soon." Alice whispered in my ear. I hadn't realized she had come to stand next to me. I shivered from the cold coming off their bodies, but I continued to hold my mom as Alice brushed her hand through my hair.
"Better?" Mom whispered in my ear. I just gave her a nod and she gently took me out of her embrace. Alice led me back to the couch and my dad took me in his arms. 'Ella. It's almost over.' I held to my fathers words tightly.
I looked up at Aro and shuddered. 'Please Ella. We just want to talk.'
"Then talk." I muttered looking away from him. I had little respect for this man, now. He edged toward me only by a inch. His dark cloak making him look as if he were flying. The thought made me tremble. But it suited his personality well.
"Ella." He said my name in a whisper. "I'm here to talk on my own behalf. I was... Selfish. There are no words to describe how sorry I am. I hope you find some way to accept my sincere apology. But I also want you to know-"
"You've said enough Aro. We'll be leaving now." My dad pulled me up off the couch and the rest of the family took a step forward. 'Stop Edward. If you don't remember, the sun is out. Your stuck here for six more hours.'
"We'll see about that." My dad growled. He dragged me toward the door, but Alec got in the way. 'Don't make me hurt you.'
'As if you could.' My dad growled and lightly shoved me toward the rest of the family. Emmett grabbed me as I tripped over Jacob, who was sleeping silently on the floor, as if nothing was happening. His yelp woke up Seth, who was sleeping not far away. They both were alert now, by the sudden hostility in the room.
"Try! I dare you." My father growled. Alec smiled, 'Very well.' I knew I had to do something. I didn't know what but then I remembered what happened when I fell on Jasper, when Jane was torturing him. "Stop it Bella. Your dumb shield can't always protect your family."
"What? My shield isn't spread." My mom muttered, but I ignored them. I was to busy concentrating. I held my head and closed my eye's, forcing my wall away from me to weave around the whole family. Emmett was yelling something but my senses were blocked. Now all I focused on, was keeping the wall around the people I loved.
Bella POV
I was shocked when Edward tore Ella away from the couch. He then growled, "We'll see about that!" And then headed towards the door. Alec appeared and shot Edward a glare. I was so confused. Edward then lightly shoved Ella towards us. She tripped on Jacob's huge body, and fell over him. Emmett was the closest and with a quick movement caught her. I rushed to her side and saw her eye's had gone blank. "Ella?"
"Try! I dare you." Edward suddenly growled. Alec smiled and walked closer to Edward. He stared deeply at him, and smirked. Then he growled, "Stop it Bella. Your dumb shield can't always protect your family."
I was stunned by Alec's fury. I hadn't spread my shield an inch. "What? My shield isn't spread." That confused the whole room. The Volturi's eyes turned to Ella. She was holding her head, and her eyes were closed tightly. "Well, well. It seems Ella has Bella's full power. What more surprises will your child bring?"
Emmett growled, "Shut up Aro! Or I'll show you a surprise."
"No Emmett. That's what he wants." Edward muttered, and Aro shot Emmett a grin. My daughter's eyes suddenly popped open, and a big blast of wind flew out of no where. The harsh wind sailed past me as if it were targeting another course, and before we could do anything, Aro flew against Gianna's receptionist desk. Jane growled and charged at Ella, but another burst of wind came from thin air, and Jane was flying back next. Alec stared at his sister as she struggled onto her feet. He turned to me, and then down to Ella.
"Now Alec!" Then Alec grinned, and the the whole family froze. There senses went dead. I tried to grab my daughter to protect her, but Jane charged at me and thrust me toward the ground. Then I heard the piercing scream of my daughter. And tried to spread the shield, that refused to escape me.
Ella POV
I was so tired, and I had an insane headache. I let out a moan, and fell to the ground. "Now Alec!" I looked up at that moment and saw the whole family was frozen. Frozen solid. Except my mom was struggling on the ground, being held hard by Jane. And then a hand grabbed me. It pulled me off the ground and through me over it's shoulder. I did the only thing I could. I screamed.
"Mom!" I was being ran out the room and my mom watched helpless.
"Ella!" I lost sight of my mom as a stranger rushed me down a unfamiliar hallway. "Let me go!" I smacked his stone back, and screeched in pain.
"Wow... Alec was right about you. You are pretty stubborn, but I'm sure we can change that." Just then I heard howl's coming down the hall. Jacob and Seth appeared right behind me and the stranger. The stranger suddenly pulled me into his arms- bridal style- and took a sharp turn. I could see his face now. He had shaggy brown hair, unlike Aro and the others, and he had the coldest skin ever.
"Put me down!" I pounded his chest with my good hand, which only made him grin. "You don't give up do you?" Jacob growled at that and lunged forward. The man growled, still running, and darted into a room, slamming the door shut. Jacob hit it as it closed into his face.
"Lock it Corin!" The man yelled, and a boy who looked around my age shoved a metal lock that closed the door. His red eyes reminded me he was no teenager I wanted to get to know. 'That should keep those werewolves out.' The boy named Corin smirked as Jacob and Seth began slamming their bodies into the door. 'Hold on Ella. Were going to help you. Just give us a few mor-" I heard loud barking in the hall, and then everything was quite.
I was suddenly held by Corin and the stranger. Then Marcus appeared. "Thank you Santiago, and Corin." He turned to me and smiled. I shivered as he took a step toward me. 'Lets end this!'
He walked up to me and tilted my head. He pushed my hair away, exposing my clear neck. "Aro was supposed to do this, but it seems your parents are being rather difficult. So I will be the one to change you." I froze and stuttered, "But Aro said it was over... You... You ca-"
"Shh..." He lightly touched my neck, and his cold skin made me moan. "Aro was being inconsiderate. He found that lying was the only way to gain your parents trust, and the best way to change you."
"Demetri..." I whimpered, which made Aro chuckle. "Oh... don't worry about Demetri and Felix. Their punishments have already been taken care of. Their doing an assignment now in Africa, and won't be here to save you this time. It's a shame though, since I'm about to take away that wonderful scent you have. But I just know you'll be lovely when your a full blooded vampire."
"No!" I tried to get out of Corin and Santiago's grasps, but I didn't move an inch. They were to strong. I screamed but Marcus was already digging his hard venomous teeth into my neck.
I decided to be nice and add the next chapter so I didn't leave you at a cliif hanger. So Chapter 15 is up, and I'll have chapter 16 soon. Thanks for the reviews. It's my first fanfic, so I hope you like it.
