Yay! The next two chapter's are finally up. I just finished them this week. School has been crazy, and I haven't had much time to type. But here are the next two chapters. I hope you like them, and thanks so much for the reviews. I'll try real hard to finish the next chapter soon. So thanks for reading and I hope it's not getting boring. =D
Edward POV
We finally arrived at Rome Italy, and rented a cab so we didn't look suspicious. We eventually ended up at the Palatino Grand Hotel, and got a presidential suite. Ella had been woken before we arrived, and looked more awful than she already did. As soon as we got to the suite, she went straight to the bed, and fell on it exhausted. I pulled the covers over her, and sat down beside her stroking her head. She sighed in comfort as she slept. Lucky vampire.
"I need to go buy her some clothes. Why don't you get some sleep Seth, while me and Emmett go get her an outfit, and Jasper, call Renesmee. She's probably worried sick." I ordered the men. Seth smiled and hopped onto the other bed (Much more mature than Jacob, who would just get in bed with Renesmee) and then fell asleep. Jasper went out onto the suite's balcony to call Renesmee, giving us a thumbs up as he closed the screen door. Then me and Emmett left to head toward the lobby. I made one last look, and saw my daughters bright red eyes on me.
"I love you dad..." She whispered, and then drifted back to sleep. I smiled and walked back over to her quickly, giving her one last fatherly kiss on the cheek. "I love you too, Ella." Then me and Emmett left, closing the door as softly as we could.
"You think it's finally over?" Emmett asked as we stood in the elevator. I just shrugged and sighed, "Boy Emmett, I really hope so. If I ever have to see my daughter like this again, I might just die... again." He nodded at me, and smirked. "Bella would kill me if I let that happen to you. So I guess we'd both be dead... What joy!"
"Oh shut up!" I muttered, and walked quickly out of the elevator, Emmett following behind. We walked across the street from the hotel to a decent looking clothing store. It was designer, but it was the closest place, and I wanted to be nearby if Ella needed me. We went straight to the desk where a woman with bright red lipstick, curly blond hair, and sharp blood red nails sat. She stared at me and Emmett in awe like we were Greek gods. Emmett gave the lady a grin and she stopped breathing.
'They are so hot. Why do I have to be a married woman. Oh crap... Job. Right.'
"May I help you gentlemen? Are you here for a suit, or maybe some nice watches." I had to keep from laughing at how nervous she was. She was red all over the face. I felt Emmett hold in his breath so he didn't laugh too.
"Actually mam, I'm here to buy my... sister, a pair of clothing. Not to formal, but decent. Tank top and Jeans should do nicely." I replied, trying to contain a smile. She stared at me in confusion, but then shrugged it off.
"I have a pair of designer jeans that would look nice. And a black tank top would go well with that. I'll go fetch those right away." I gave her the size, and she quickly went into the back of the store, leaving me and Emmett waiting.
"So... What do we do now Edward?" Emmett asked curiously. I stared at him in confusion, "What do you mean? We take Ella home. Isn't that the plan?"
Emmett growled softly, and muttered, "That's not what I mean. Do we continue to live in Forks, and pretend these last three months never happened, or do we move?" I thought about that for a moment, and shrugged. I didn't feel like discussing it here. It would have to wait till we got back to Forks.
"So you miss Tanya yet?" Emmett smirked, obviously wanting to get on my bad side. Instead I just laughed. "No way in hell do I miss the witch. She deserved to die. That bloody betrayer." I looked at Emmett and saw him staring at me concerned. I guess this wasn't a laughing matter.
"How do you think Kate and the others will take it?" Emmett asked slightly above a whisper. I stopped smiling, and gave a sigh.
"You know Emmett. That's the part I'm scared of. I don't want this to ruin our friendship with the Denali's. This is going to be really hard on them." I whispered, and stared at the stores back door hearing the woman's footsteps come closer toward us. She reappeared draping a tank top and jeans over her arm. "How do these look?" She asked laying them out on the counter.
"Perfect. We'll take them." She stared at me oddly, but shrugged and rang up the cash register. 'Strange man. Comes in here to buy clothing for his sister. Very odd. Though he is still extremely sexy.'
"Alright. That's $54.23."(A/N: I don't know what money they use in Italy. So I'm making it American) The lady said and I paid her, quickly grabbing my purchase and heading back to the hotel. Me and Emmett were silent the rest of the way, as we returned to the hotel. We quickly went back to the room and entered as quietly as we could. Seth and Ella were still sleeping, while Jasper was watching the news silently, sitting on the edge of Seth's bed. He smiled at us as we came towards him.
"How is she?" I asked, sitting beside him. Jasper chuckled and made a quick glance at Ella, "Sleeping. Just like she was when you left. You need to stop worrying. She's a tough girl, and very smart."
Emmett laughed a little too loud, and I smacked his arm in a warning way. He made a quick glance at Ella and mouthed 'Sorry'. Then he spoke softly, "I just think it's funny how her smartness seemed to keep her so safe."
"Oh shut it Emmett. It's not her fault Aro likes to torture little girls." I growled, but quickly fell quite. Seth had kicked me in a friendly, but annoyed manner. "Shut up all of you. Some of us are trying to get some sleep." He muttered and pulled the covers over his head. The three of us chuckled quietly. We watched the news in silence, but I really wasn't paying much attention. The news was in a different language so there was really no point in listening.
"Dad?" I jumped and turned to see Ella standing beside us. One hand rubbing her shoulder as she waited for me to reply. "Ella. What are you doing out of bed?"
She sighed and sat beside me, only making Seth groan, and grab a pillow to shove on his face. 'No... No one's trying to sleep. Just have a party if you like." Me and Ella laughed quietly, though Ella's laugh was weak. We sat on the bed for a few minutes with silence, until Ella growled. "How the hell do you watch something like this? It's foreign." Emmett and Jasper stared at Ella in shock. "Since when do you say words like that?" Jasper asked.
She just shrugged and stood from the bed tiredly. "Go back to sleep Ella. And that's an order." I said, standing from the bed. She grunted and sat at the edge of her bed, resting her chin in her hands. "Not tired." She muttered. She lied back on the bed and started to hum a small melody I had never heard before.
"You look tired to me." I said walking over to her. Her feet were hanging off the bed carelessly. She sat up, and muttered, "Is it really that obvious." I nodded and pointed toward the pillow of her bed. She shook her head and looked away from me, staring out of the balcony window into the late night sky.
"What time is it?" She asked, standing, and walking toward the window. "Midnight. The time when girls like you are supposed to be asleep." She laughed at Jasper's comment, and shook her head, then started humming some more.
"That's it! I didn't want to do this." We all jumped by Seth's comment and were shocked to see him rushing toward Ella and pulling her back to bed. He laid beside her, holding her in a restraint around her waist, so she couldn't get up. "Seth. What are you doing?" Ella growled, and struggled to get out of Seth's hold, but not having much luck.
"Sleeping. Now everyone shut up!" He growled, and pulled Ella slightly closer to him.
"Dad. Help me!" She begged. I just shrugged, and waved good-bye as I walked out onto the balcony. I heard her growl, as I went. Jasper and Emmett followed behind with smirks.
Ella POV
Seth held me like I was some teddy bear, and I was really getting annoyed. I tried to hit him a few times but that only made him pin my hands to the bed. I tried to kick him, but soon his legs were pinning me down. He snuggled into my back, his body sending warm waves down my spine. I sighed and closed my eyes, feeling his warm breath on my back. My dad and the others were laughing outside as I lied in bed. Jerks.
"Please Seth. This feels so weird." I moaned, trying to pull away from him. 'Man! My imprint is going to drive me insane for the rest of my days.' I stopped breathing, and quickly shoved Seth off the bed. He screamed in shock, as he tumbled to the floor. I jumped off the bed quickly and walked over to Seth. "What was that for?" He asked, standing from the carpet.
"How long Seth?!" I begged staring into his dark eyes. He stared at me confused, but then his eyes opened in realization. "Ella- I- I was going to tell you. I just... I didn't know when. I wasn't going to be like Jacob, and immediately pretend that we were going to be together for the rest of our days. I wanted to give you a chance to go to college, and have a life."
"So for sixteen years, you've been hiding in the shadows so I wouldn't find out I was your imprint! Seth. I thought you did that because you didn't like me." He stared at me in shock, and then burst out laughing. I stared at him in furry, until he pulled me into a soft and comforting hold.
"That would make me an idiot Ella. Your the most beautiful creature in the world. I've been in the shadows to protect you. If you got hurt because of me, I don't know what I'd do." He whispered, breathing into my hair. I laughed and pulled away. "Your saying this to a girl who has grown up her whole life with vampires. That's very reasonable Seth." He grinned sheepishly at me, and then lifted me off my feet, kissing me softly on my lips. His were so warm as they were on mine; I never wanted them to leave me. But he broke us apart, and set me back on the floor.
"Seth- I- What?" He chuckled at my gibberish, and then bent down once again to kiss me. 'And I was half expecting you to go for that ancient Demetri fellow.' I pulled away from him in shock, and looked at my jean pocket which still held the letter. I sighed and sat down.
"I'm sorry Ella. I didn't mean to upset you." Seth whispered, sitting beside me. "I wasn't thinking." I smiled at him, and pecked him on the cheek.
"It's not your fault Seth. He was just a really good guy. I'm going to miss him." I whispered, leaning into Seth's arm. He wrapped his arms around me, and kissed me on the forehead. "I know. I owe him for saving your ass." He muttered. I heard my fathers growl outside, at Seth's cuss. Seth sighed and then chuckled, "Your dad is to over protective. He really needs to lighten up a little."
"He will. Besides... I'm use to the swearing. Football games are always a blast." I heard Emmett and Jasper laugh outside, 'It's so true.' I chuckled at Emmett's thoughts. Seth was frowning suddenly, and he didn't meet my eyes. "You know. When you were taken by the Volturi the first time, I was so close to telling you in that field about the imprint. But I guess I just couldn't find the guts. And then when you were turned, I was really keeping from starting a war in that office. I was so worried about you Ella, the only thought that ran in my head was: What if she doesn't live through this? That was the question that has been haunting me these last three months. If anything had happened to you Ella, I think I would have started a war just to die."
I gasped and smacked Seth in the arm. He stared at me in confusion, but I had calmed when I saw his sad eyes. "Seth. I don't want you to kill yourself just because I'm dead. That's the most idiotic thing I've heard... Werewolves are so dumb sometimes." I muttered, and then gasped. Seth had pulled me back on the bed, and began to tickle me like crazy. "Seth!" Was all I could say as laughter took over.
"What did you say about werewolves, love?" Seth asked in my ear, stopping his tickles and letting me catch my breath. I bit my lip, and sat up turning to Seth, and then muttered, "That there absolutely annoying." He shook his head and whispered, "Wrong answer." He grabbed my face and pulled me to his lips this time with more force than last time.
"Hey! She's still my daughter Seth." Seth pulled away from me, and stared at my now present father embarrassed. "Sorry Edward..." Then he looked at me and grinned, "Good-night Ella." He stood and walked to his own bed not daring to get on fathers bad side. Dad stared at me for a moment, and then pointed back at the pillow on my bed. "Sleep. Or I won't take you hunting tomorrow." He whispered, and I gave him a smile.
"Fine dad. I'm going to bed. Jeez." I crawled in bed, and got under the covers. My father smiled and turned off the room light. The whole place was filled with dark, so when my fathers lips touched my forehead my heart raced. Then the door to the balcony opened and closed, leaving me alone with a snoring Seth in the dark. "I love you dad..."
Jane POV
I paced the forest in impatience, just wanting to kill a Cullen already. I had to remind myself repeatedly that she would be here soon, and I would get to kill her when she least expected it. Aro's prize was going to die, and I would be the one to complete the task. The thought made me smile and quench for Ella's body to be burned. She was so going down, that fruit-sucking vampire. I was beginning to sound like Tanya now. I remembered her words as I paced the woods. 'Kill her, if I don't. No matter what happens... Destroy that fruit-sucking vampire.'
Her words made me smile with vengeance. I would kill Ella if it was the last thing I do. Her life was going to end forever. I jumped out of my thoughts when my cellphone shockingly rang. I looked at the caller I.d and grinned. I flipped open the phone and whispered, "Hello my dear brother. How are you doing this morning?"
"JANE! ARE YOU INSANE?" I chuckled by Alec's furry. I guess Renata told him of my plans. "Of course bro. Aren't I always insane?" I stopped my pacing and sat on a broken log, smoothing out my velvet dress and pulling me black cloak tighter around me.
"Jane, you can't do this! You'll kill yourself!" Alec yelled on the other line. I laughed and said, "And who's gonna kill me. A little girl who can barely pick up a brick. I think I'll be fine."
"But you'll break the agreement Aro made with the werewolves. If you kill Ella, they kill us. You can't do this Jane. Your risking the lives of the whole coven." Alec growled. I grinned and twirled my hair, "Now Alec. I think you can handle a bunch of werewolves."
"NO! They took out half the guard JANE! We can't take them out. Were outnumbered now. Please don't do this." He begged, and I could here frantic voices in the back.
"Sorry Alec. But Ella's going to be ash by tomorrow." I hung up and stood from the log, putting my cell into my cloak pocket. I was ready for her. Ready to watch her pain, fear, horror, and agony. I couldn't wait to tear her head off and throw it in the fire. Here her screams and pleas to spare her. She was going to die. If not today, then tomorrow. I wouldn't rest until her life was over.
"Come on Ella. I'm ready for you..."
