New chapter everyone! Hope you all enjoy it. Remember, read and review! :]

I've been cooped up in a jet for the past 18 ½ hours, needless to say, I'm restless. There's only so much walking around I can do without getting bored of it. The flight to Forks didn't seem as long but the trip back is just insanely long. It could be because I'm excited to see everyone again. The pilot said we would land in 5 minutes.

We finally landed and so got into a car headed for Volterra. I didn't think much of the car ride, I'd much rather run and get there in a minutes or two than a car ride that takes ten. I was constantly checking the time and even that didn't make the car ride go fast. The only thing working in my favor was that there was no traffic, but that's about it.

I looked through the window and saw the same old Volterra I had seen two weeks earlier. The same crisp, clean air, the same vivid colors of the flowers, and the same people walking from place to place.

The car pulled into the driveway and finally stopped. I got out and walked towards the door, eager to burst in and yell, "I'm back!" but decided against it.

I opened the door and looked around but no one was around. I went over to Gianna's desk to ask her if she had seen anyone.

"Buon pomeriggio Gianna, hai visto uno dei Maestri o Guard?" [Good afternoon Gianna, have you seen any of the Masters or Guard?]

"No Michelle Miss, non ho visto nessuno di loro in giro. Si dovrebbe provare la biblioteca o nelle loro stanze." [No Miss Michelle, I haven't see any of them around. You should try the library or their rooms.]

"Grazie Gianna." [Thank you.]

I stopped by the meeting room when I heard several people talking inside. I put my ear to the door and knew that most everyone was inside. I pushed the doors open slowly and stepped inside.

"Michelle!" Demetri called out. I ran over and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"I missed you Demetri. I'm so happy I'm back!" I heard someone cough behind me. I turned around to see Aro standing in the middle of the room. I let go of Demetri and walked over to Aro.

"Good to see you again Master Aro, Marcus, Caius," I said as I bowed to all three, "it has been too long."

"Indeed it has dear, I trust your trip went well?" I knew where this was going. He held out his hand for me to put mine into. He put his other hand on top of mine and stared into my eyes.

"It went very well, loved every second of it but it's nice to be back home with everyone."

"Yes well I see, we shall have to talk about your trip later after everyone has fed. Heidi went out to fetch us some humans, care to join us?"

"No thank you Master Aro, I fed before I got on the plane so I'm good for right now."

"Very well then, stand in the corner with Demetri. I do believe the humans are coming in." I quickly made my way over to Demetri's side as the humans were being led in by Heidi. Aro did his little speech welcoming the tourists and telling everyone that it was dinnertime. Screams could be heard at all corners of the room. They soon died down [pun not intended] and all that was left were several lifeless bodies on the floor.

"Dearest Michelle, come with me so that we may talk. Guard, please clean up the mess." I followed Aro out the doors and into his study. I took a seat on one of the chairs near the window. Aro sat in the chair next to mine. "I saw in your thoughts that you had a wonderful trip with some situations scattered along the way. Do tell."

"I had a blast! I went shopping with Alice a couple times and hung around with everyone. Carlisle took me hunting a couple times and Jasper and Edward other times. Edward actually helped me develop my abilities which was really helpful. We might have just run into one small incident."

"Which would be?"

"My necklace fell down a cliff so I went down and got it and a wolf appeared. I didn't think much of it so I just let it alone and started climbing back up. Well the wolf threw me back down and if Edward and Carlisle hadn't shown up, there could have been a problem. I thought it was the end of it, nothing major. But the day before I came back, some guy showed up at the house. Apparently this guy was the wolf I had seen, Edward said he was some shape shifter. He annoyed Edward and I and attacked us. I wasn't going to let him get away that easy so I persuaded him to leave before things got out of hand."

"Shapeshifters you say? Very interesting, I shall be talking to my brothers about this development. I'm glad to hear that Edward didn't cause you any problems."

"He's not bad at all. Once you get to know him, he's actually a pretty good person who just sometimes lets his emotions get the better of him but who doesn't do that?"

"Indeed that's true dear. You're free to go, but know that soon we will be having a meeting with everyone where you will be sworn in as an official Volturi member. Dismissed." I bowed to Aro before leaving the room, heading towards my room where I expected to find Demetri.

And sure enough, Demetri was in my room, sitting on the edge of the bed.

"It took you long enough," he said jokingly.

"Well Aro wanted to talk about my trip and all that stuff but I tried to rush it because I knew you were up here. And now that you're here, help me unpack! Lucky you!" I opened up on of the suitcases and began taking out the clothes, folding them neatly and placing them in my dresser.

"And this?" I looked over at Demetri who had found the bag of lingerie that I had bought with Alice. He began rummaging through the bag and took out a piece. The smirk on his face was priceless. I went up to him and tried to take it from him though he kept it out of my reach.

"Hand it over!" I said while starting to laugh.

"You can have it back on the promise that I will get to see you wearing very soon." He lowered the garment to a height where I was able to reach it.

"If you're lucky, you'll see it soon." Our lips touched and after several second Demetri broke away a little.

"Believe me, I'm the luckiest person alive...or dead however you want to look at it." I gave him a quick peck before returning to the unpacking my bags.
