Chapter 25-
Alec POV (A/N Just to clear out the last chapter ;D)
"Jane," I greeted as she approached me. She nodded, "To what do I owe your visit?" She sighed.
"On Aro's orders. Apparently Chelsea found her mate in a human," She gave a repulsed expression, "Named Afton and he will wake up from his transformation in about 5 hours. Aro requires your assistance to help control the newborn. You still have time to pack." She said. I rose an eyebrow at the information. My dear sister, Chelsea, had finally found her mate, and in a human.
"What about Bella?" I asked without processing what I was going to say. I immediately snapped my mouth shut and clenched it, making sure I didn't make the stupid mistake again. Jane gave a minor smirk but didn't say anything.
"I'll make sure to take care of her." She answered. I frowned.
"Bella doesn't know, does she?" I questioned. She shook her head, "I suppose I should visit her before I leave?" I inquired. Jane smiled, something that had grown very rare ever since we were changed into what we are today.
"Always the smart one, Alec," She said and then her smiled faded and she raised one of her perfect eyebrows, "Now leave, if you must. Right after you tell Isabella Aro expects you to be on your way. He prefers you run, since it seems to take a shorter journey that way, so I recommend you take another pair of clothes if you are going to swim, Dear Brother." She finished. I sighed and nodded, giving her a kiss on the cheek before I ran to Bella's house with a small black backpack on my shoulder containing my other pair of clothes after I accepted it from my sister.
Surprisingly, as I became nearer to her house I was greeted by the sound of continuous sobs and I immediately ran up Bella's window and saw her curled up on the corner of her bed against the headboard. I shook my head and sighed. I knew that the way she acted was all but that, an act. She still suffered because of the way she was abandoned by the Cullen family.
I walked up to her and without thinking I wrapped my arms around her waist as I sat next to her. Unexpectedly, she didn't shiver once because of my cold skin but instead she turned around and sobbed in my chest.
"Why?" She asked between her sobs, choking slightly. I sighed and slightly tightened my grip on her waist.
"I don't know." I whispered.
After having a while with her I noticed that it was getting late and I needed to hurry if I wanted to get to Volterra in time. I cautiously unwrapped my arms from her waist and carefully unwrapped her loose arms from my neck, since she seemed to have fallen asleep, and I placed her under her covers as Aro would have asked.
Without another glance I jumped out her window and ran, as far away as I could get.
Demetri POV (A/N So sorry if the changing POVs annoys you. Hope it doesn't, tell me what you think.)
"Demetri, Can you call Chelsea and return to the throne room with her?" Aro asked me as I was walking back to my room where Heidi was. I nodded.
"Yes, Master." I answered and walked opposite to where I was going to the ground rooms.
I calmly headed down the long stairs and as I reached the bottom where it was deadly dark I turned on the small candles, careful not to make any sound to alert Chelsea, who was taking care of her mate and would destroy anyone and anything to protect him. I sighed and shook my head. Let's just hope she would allow herself to leave him alone for few minutes to see Aro.
I flinched as I stood in front of the door where the human was changing and I tried to ignore his petrifying screams. Instead, I knocked on the door once and the door opened to reveal a very terrifying Chelsea with coal black eyes and venom glistening on her lips. I stood up straight and I clenched my jaw as she let a growl escape.
"Aro wishes to speak to you." I said. She narrowed her eyes and tightened her grip on the doorway, leaving a mark.
"What does he want?" She said starkly. I grimaced at her harshness but didn't say anything to that matter.
"I believe it has to do with Bella and Alec." I responded. Her eyes immediately went back to the crimson red color of before and she wiped her lips, standing up straight.
"Do you know of what he wants to say to that matter?" She asked. I shook my head.
"He just requested I return to the throne room with you." I said. She glanced behind herself at the human's screaming form and stared at him sorrowfully for a long while before she moved her eyes back to me and nodded, stepping out of the room and closing the door behind herself.
"Let's make it quick." She said. I nodded as well and we made our way to the throne room where Aro was waiting for us.
"Ah! Chelsea! How is young Afton's transformation going?" Aro asked her as we entered into the throne room, where out of all the Kings, there was only him.
"He is doing quite fine." Chelsea responded with a nod. Aro grinned and then suddenly turned serious.
"Now, Demetri, Chelsea, I called you to inform you that I sent Jane to call Alec here to help control the new member we are going to have since the change will be completed in an hour." He finally said.
"What?" Chelsea whispered with her eyes wide, "But he can't be distanced from Bella. It'll only turn their relationship thinner." She said. Aro shook his head.
"You see, dear Chelsea, I plan to have Alec come here so you can read his aura and so we can know how he and Bella have been going, and also so I can read him to see if I have any clue if he feels at least a bit of loss by being away from her." He responded. Chelsea pursed her lips and finally nodded.
"It might work but I'm afraid he can't stay here much longer or the bond will disappear." Aro nodded.
"I am aware of that. I only ask for a while of his services until Afton can control himself a bit." He retorted.
I stayed quiet the whole time. I can't honestly join the conversation knowing that it had to do with my little sister's mate who was also supposed to be my brother. I'm pretty sure Felix wasn't coping well with this either, he was always protective of Bella after all. He was already suffering as he continued his search for the Cullens alone that Bella wouldn't talk to him.
Suddenly the phone next to Aro rang and he hesitantly answered.
"Aro, Alec has arrived." Gianna's voice said through the phone. Aro froze for a moment before recovering, nodding to no one in particular.
"Yes, of course. Let him in." And he hung up. My eyes furrowed in confusion.
He's early, I thought, If he came this early it's because he was running as fast as he his legs allowed him and we all know Alec enough to know that he only did that when he was frustrated.
The doors burst open and a poker faced Alec walked in with his jaw clenched.
"Hello, Alec," Aro greeted, "What is the reason you seem… aggravated." Alec stared at him with cold stony eyes, something he hasn't done ever since he heard years ago Aro had considered killing Jane since she had not turned more independent, in no need for Aro's orders.
"I won't complete the mission," He spat out the term, "Aro. I won't."
"What do you mean by that, Alec?" Aro asked. Alec's eyes hardened.
"I refuse to befriend Isabella Swan."
OH MY GOD. SUSPENSE. I know, I hate it too. I swear my heart was racing when I wrote the last sentence.
Alec doesn't want to be with Bella once again! When he returns to Forks will he backfire, will he be cold to her like before? You will only know here!
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Maybe the Volturi sound good,
But don't trust their appearance,
I warn you!
I learned the hard way…
