A/N: Well hello!!! I bet when you all saw that there was a new chapter up you were like 'oh great another author's note' but no your eyes do not deceive you this is an ACTUAL chapter! I know feel free to shout and jump up and down! Okay so here you go sorry if it's too short all I can say is tough.

2 hours, 22 minutes, 24 seconds

2 hours, 22 minutes, 23 seconds

2 hours, 22 minutes, 22 seconds.

I keep counting the seconds down until we arrive at the Volturi.

2 hours, 22 minutes, 15 seconds.

After I told the Cullens my intentions they quickly packed their bags and we were on the plane.

"Bella, when we get there, be sure you stay close. These vampires aren't like us." Alice quietly explained in the car.

"What do you mean, not like you?"

"I mean, we feed on animals and they don't." She clarified.

Understanding what she meant made me scared. What if I don't live to see the end of this? What if I die before stopping Edward? What if Edward is already dead?

All thoughts stopped. Edward can't be dead, not yet. We will get there in time. I couldn't care less what happens to me, as long as all of the Cullens leave safely.

I was, thankfully, pulled out of my thoughts by someone calling my name.

Looking up I saw Jasper talking.

"Bella, we're here."


Walking down the dark alley, I assumed the Cullens knew where we were going. We were positioned with Carlisle and Esme in front of me, me in the middle with Alice and Rosalie on either side, with Emmett and Jasper bringing up the back. Walking a little ways we were approached by two cloaked figures. No words were exchanged, just one of the vampires telling us to follow.


We walked into a huge room that freaked me out. Okay, maybe it wasn't the room, maybe it was the fact that I, a human, was in a room with about 20 human drinking vampires. Yeah, I bet that's it.

"Carlisle! It's great to see you!"

"You too Aro."

The Cullens repositioned themselves so that I was slightly hidden.

"So Carlisle what brings you to Italy?" Geez, this guy seemed more hyper than Alice, which is a scary thought.

"Well Aro, we came for Edward." I envy Carlisle's ability to keep calm.

"Yes, yes of course. He-" Aro stopped.

"Well, who do we have here?" He said looking at me. "Did we forget someone earlier during dinner?"

Understanding what he meant, I did my best to suppress the shudder that wanted to come out.

"Oh, well this is Isabella; she is the newest member of our family." If I wasn't so scared Carlisle's words would have probably brought tears to my eyes.

"Is she? Hmm that's interesting." Aro seemed to be thinking something over. As he opened his mouth to speak once more, Alice spoke up.

"Can we please see our brother sir?" Alice asked.

"Of course, of course. We told him to calm down and really think about his request to be killed." Aro told us.

My breath caught in my throat. Oh no, he already asked.

"Jane dear, would you please go get our guest." A small vampire, who I assume is Jane, walked out the doors.

After a couple minutes of silence I thought I was going to pass out. I opened my mouth to ask Jasper, who was closest to me a question, when the big doors creaked open.


Please review!! Especially since this is my first chapter for this chapter in a long time!
