Isabella Swan's POV:
The whole situation suddenly became clear as the freakin' sun. Of course they would stick their filthy fingers into this, of course they'd want to destroy our perfect life. I don't even know why I am so surprised now.
Well, maybe it's the fact that I though that they had at least some pride and some diginity not to fuckin' work with the Volturi. Didn't they despise them? hated their way of life and the way they tormented other vampires, along with humans. But the thing that they were so determinated and bloodthristy made more sense than ever.
This was the ugly side of the always perfect Cullen clan.
Like every vampire, they wanted to fucking bathe in blood and relish the feeling to be the cause of someone's pain and loss. But they are the Cullens; the don't give a fuck about how someone feels when they lost someone they love. I would now.
I took a deep breath and spoke to calm the frantic vampire on the other side,
"Okay Tanya. Tell me everything you know." I emphasized the word 'everything' so she would now what I meant. I heard her also take a deep breath and she started speaking,
"Well, honestly, it was just a few minutes ago. I was on my usual watch for some vampires sick of the Volturis and I was passing Volterra. There, I met the Cullens, minus Emmett and Rosalie as you know. I played all nice and polite, ya know we are 'family' in a odd way so... anyways I asked them why are they here and they said that they plan on attacking the Whitlock caln so they can capture two member of their clan who are supposedly kidnapped and taken away from their mates. When saying 'mates' he pointed at Alice and edward who looked kind of crushed. I think they were talking about you and Jasper." she said in one breath and I sighed. Of course.
"What else happened?" I asked further and I heard a nervous chuckle,
"Oh..yeah..well that's a funny little story.." I grew suspicious. My eyes narrowed and I growled lowly and menacingly,
"Tanya..."
"Hahah, know that I think about it it's very funny ya know..." I grolwed again, this time with more power,
"Tanya I swear to God tell me what are happened else now or else.." I left the threat hanging in the air as I waited for a response. Sure enough, a sigh was heard and she barely whispered,
"They think that we're on their side." I was silent. Then the words sank in,
"They what?!" I screeched and my companions winced at the volume.
"I'm sorry..." she said and I sighed and ran a hand through my hai, a habit I kept from my human days.
"What now, Tanya?" I asked and I could hear that the others were surprised by the sheer helplessness in my voice. I slumped down against the tree and rested my chin on my knees. Jasper soon sta next to me, his arm comfortingly around my shoulder and I found it really nice of him to care so much. I smiled faintly at him and he kissed my temple.
"I really don't know Bella. I'm truly sorry, though." she said and I sighed again,
"Let me think of something." I said lowly and closed my eyes in concentration. Got it! I yelled cheerfuly in my mind and I suddenly thought of how crazy I actually am. I smiled and said,
"Listen, I have an idea!" I said excitedly and Jasper smiled against my temple,
"Really? Shoot it!" Tanya replied as eager as I was and I grinned,
"We can play it that way. You and your clan are helping the Cullens to fight against us along with the Volturi." I started,
"But.." I continued before she could express her doubts,
"Listen. Up until the battle, you will play along. At the crucial moment, when we're at the very edge of breaking into bloodshed, join us. I know your clan is fast. Heck, all vampires are!" I finished and waited for response.
"Wow. That is...amazing! I never knew that you could think of strategies for a few seconds! Even with a vampire mind..." she rambled and I laughed, relieved that she's willing to play in my little theatre.
"Thank you, Tanya. Now, infor your clan and please continue your search, but do it secretly. If there are any vampires that aren't willing to against us, please, try to coax them into participating, okay?" I asked and a low 'hmm' was my positive respinse. I ended the call and slumped completely against Jasper. He sighed and rested his chin on my head as we enjoyed the silence,
"So is everything okay now?"
Of fucking course Peter would ruin the moment.
I huffed through my nose as I straightened up and glanced at the vampire who held his carrots lovingly. I made a face at the scene, but couldn't hold in a chuckle when I remembered Charlotte,
"Say Peter, what would Char think of your new...hobby?" I said smiling devilishly and he gulped the huge chunk he just ate. I giggeld and got up, pulling Jasper with me and heading towards our home, with Peter shaking and throwing the remaining carrots away. From the corner of my eye I saw the kind woman who sold us the carrots and a soft smile displayed on her wrinkeld face and she shook her head.
I smiled and linked my arm around Jasper's.
Edward Cullen's POV:
"Don't worry, dear. We'll have her soon, and she will be the same as always, the shy, kind, selfless Bella you knew." I smiled at Esme'skind words and I easily believed them because I knew she was right and that Bella wil be mine again.
I looked around the room of our newest residence, a two-story house, cuddled in a forest, far from prying eyes. It was nice and quiet; a think rare to find in a relatively loud land like Italy, full of life and blood. It was something new and I enjoyed the change. I also enjoyed my new room, being designed in dark colours, since I wanted to show my depression that Bella caused.
I frowned as my mind was flooded with images of her smiling, beautiful, human face. Her long mahagony hair, her deep brown eyes and the adorable blush that would appear on her face when I smiled at her. And the way her breath hitched when I kissed her...
But now...now the monster she became, after following that Jasper and being with him. I can't even imagine them together..it kind of hurts more...
When we met her when she became a vampir..her crimson eyes instead of amber...her black hair flowing and the victorious smile she wore when she saw us, I was so sad, so heart-broken to see my love in the state of a blind monster..
I never regretted anything more than when I left her after her birthday..The way she broke in front of my eyes and how she struggled to keep herself from toatlly breaking...the way her eyes lost their shine and how her lips turned into a thin line.
When I held her in my arms in the halls of Volterra, I was the happiest man in the world. Little di I know that would be the last time I did. As soon as we came home, when the debate started of whether I should or not turn her into a vampire..how I wish I simply agreed!
The pure anger and rage in her usually warm and loving eyes, those harsh words she said the way she completely changed.. How the sweet Bella dissappeard and was replaced by a complete stranger.. And now, she's with Jasper.
But not for long!
Soon, when the battle against the Whitlock's start, I'll win her back and she'll spend eternity with me, than with a filthy...animal. She'll finally know how good I am for her.
Wait for me my angel! I'm coming for you!
Author's Note: God Edward...you're so hopeless...
Anyways, to the important stuff.
Guys! Did you miss me? I certainly missed you!
I'm so happy that I returned back to the States. Europe was okay, but fucking cold. Paris is like, the most beautiful town I've ever seen right after Prague! The Aiffel Tower...I was speechless.
Here's chapter 24! Told ya this story will survive? I even managed to get my mom to return to our home, mainly because of the argument that the cold is too much for her skin and she will age faster than in the States. Guess what, she dashed to the airport! My mum is so fucking obssessed with herself it's kind of abnormal.
Anyways, drop a review! Thank you for waiting for the chapter, which guarantees the near end of this story!
