Last Chapter
Edward, you need to go outside, Bella's gone. See if you can find a scent or anything. Hurry, it's about to rain. I left. I saw the dog search for her, following her scent. But as soon as I came out, he turned around, eyes glaring. "Where is she?"
"I don't know. My sister said to go outside and follow her scent. Bella was already gone by the--"
"There is no scent!!" He yelled. The rest of my family came out. Before we could say anything, someone stepped out from the shadows.
"Edward Cullen?"
Chapter 25 (Bella's POV)
I woke up to shaking. The whole bed was shaking, the whole room was shaking. I fell off the bed, making a thump as I hit the ground. The room started to go calm. Where was I? I tried to stand up, but my legs gave out beneath me. I stayed still for a moment, then stretched out my legs. My whole body felt like it was burning. I crawled to the bathroom, turning on the water to the tub to cold. I pulled off my prom dress and pulled myself into the tub.
I was relaxing as the water swirled around me. I saw in my peripheral vision that someone was standing in the doorway. I turned my aching head, my eyes were blurring as I tried to see the figure. It looked to be a man with black hair flowing from his shoulders. He was pretty big, but the thing that stood out the most was his red eyes.
"I see your finally up. Have a nice nap?" He asked with a smirk on his face.
"Yeah." I looked at him uncertainly, slinking further down in the tub. Well, if I was going to die, I was going to want to know why first. "Where am I? Why am I here?"
"Your on a plane to Italy. As for the why part," He paused, wondering if he should tell me or not. "You'll find out when we get there."
He stood straight as another man came and stood behind him. I could see better now and I no longer felt like I was in hot lava. My body temperature was back to normal and I was getting cold from the water. But I couldn't get out without showing myself and I wasn't going to do that. They were vampires. Perfect, vampires. And I wasn't anywhere near perfection.
"Get dressed, we're about to land." The one who stood behind him said.
"Wait, who are you?" I asked, but they left already. I stood up and wrapped a towel around me. I didn't have anything to wear, so I put my dress back on. I walked out into the room. So it wasn't an earthquake that woke me up, it was turbulence from the plane. I looked to the right of me and saw that the two men were still there. "Ummm."
"We need to go downstairs to strap you in." They stood up, but before I could move, we hit turbulence again. I fell against the bed. "Grab her! She might get hurt!"
One of them threw me fully on the bed and pinned me, keeping me put. I could still feel the shaking but I couldn't move an inch. "Don't even try, we're landing right now."
I didn't. Moving would be a waste of energy. Well, TRYING to move. As soon as we landed, the one who had been holding me to the bed was gone. He probably couldn't stand my scent. Being so close, but not able to drink. I wondered briefly why he didn't. I sat up on the bed, but didn't get up. The second one was still there. "I'm sorry, but you should go to sleep for this." In less than a blink of an eye, he was beside me, holding a cloth over my mouth.
Dun, Dun, DUNNN!!
(Victoria's POV)
They led me in to the throne room, where the Volturi were about to feast at. Why was I so stupid to come to Italy!? I was just trying to find another coven I could stay with. That was, until the Volturi caught me.
They threw me onto the floor in front of the thrones. "Well, it is time to say good-bye. My guards have told me that they will capture the girl tonight, no matter what. Thank you, Victoria, for your thoughts. They have been most useful. You are free to go." Aro spoke.
Aro must have noticed my confusion. "She shall be a great addition to the Volturi if she is unusual, like you say, or think. I'm very glad that Alex and Jane caught you around the mountains. I wonder if Carlisle will come and visit us."
I guess that was all he was going to say. He turned and went to sit on his throne beside his brothers.
They released me when the clouds went over. I ran till I was to the edge of the ocean. I had to warn Bella, surely the dogs would protect her, but from Volturi guards? I would have to hurry, an airplane would be faster, but I didn't have time. I swam until I hit land. It was getting dark outside, I would probably be too late, but I could still try. I ran the rest of the way, as fast as I could. I had to feed first, before anything. I hit Seattle at seven thirty. I slowed down, smelling the Cullens. I thought she said they weren't together. I ran faster, but still wary, there were werewolves out, and I'm sure the Cullen's wouldn't be merciful to me.
I ran to her house, following the scent. It was faint, washing away because of the light sprinkle. She wasn't there, but her father, I'm guessing, and a few other people where there. They were talking about prom and how Bella would trip in the dance floor. I ran to the school, hoping she was there. I hid behind a car, as I saw one of the dog's in the parking lot. Then he came out. She lied to me, she said they were over!
Then the dog spoke, "Where is she?" He yelled.
"I don't know. My sister said to go outside and follow her scent. Bella was already gone by the--" What was going on? Who was Bella with? I had to step in and tell them.
"There is no scent!!" He yelled. The rest of the Cullen's came out. Before anybody could say anything, I stepped out of my hiding spot and asked for Edward.
"Victoria." He spit my name.
