Bella's POV.

Our faces were all identical masks of horror as we watched Anthony flee the scene. The lifeless corpse lay in front of us, completely drained. That was someone's son. Someone's dead son. Thank god Renesmee decided to go to Jacob's today. Esme was sobbing quietly as Carlisle put his arm around her waist. Emmett & Jasper were comforting Rosalie & Alice. Edward wrapped his arms tightly around me and kissed my hair.

Everything had happened so fast. His urge to join our family was overpowering, but now, he decided to join the Volturi? It was hard to comprehend what was so appealing about a blood lusting, over powering, sadistic coven that was the very essence of evil. He gave up so easily. He didn't even try to compel the urge to ingest the intoxicating red liquid. This was my fault. I could have stopped him. I could have shielded my family as they grabbed him. Why didn't I think of that? I shook my head and tightened my grip on Edward. I repeated my thoughts to my family.

"This was my fault. I could have stopped him. I could have shielded you all as you grabbed him. I didn't even think t-" I whispered, but was cut off by Edward's stern but velvety voice.

"This is not your fault. Everything went so fast. It was his choice Bella. You're not blame, love."

He began rubbing soothing circles on my back.

Alice became very still and her eyes glazed over.

"I can see him. It's still a little fuzzy, but he is running to Volterra. He's muttering the story you told him about how to find them & he's planning on what to say to them."

"Should we go after him? Try & stop him before he gets to Volterra?" asked Jasper.

"Why should we? He begged for us to turn him, then he disowns us & wants to join them." spat Rose.

Carlisle frowned slightly and replied.

"He is Edward's blood relative, Rosalie. He is only young; he doesn't know what he is doing. Edward, what do you want to do?"

"If we manage to catch him, we could try & convince him to come back. If he doesn't want to, then we can't force him. Being so near the Volturi could be dangerous though. We all know that the Volturi want revenge. After what happened with Ness, you know they want revenge."

"We have Bella though, she could shield us. Hopefully, we'll be able to get him before he arrives in Volterra." Jasper commented.

"Does everyone agree to this?" asked Carlisle.

Everyone agreed, except from Rose. Rosalie narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms.

"I suppose so." She sighed.

We all ran east, towards our destination. My family and I braced ourselves. I prayed today would not result in a fight, or worse, a death.

Sorry it's short! It's just a filler chapter :)
Please review so I can post the next chapter quicker!
