Chapter 29: Creepy dolls and vampire kings. (Part 2)
"So what do we do?" Jacob asked the question they were all thinking.
"We'll keep up our training" Jasper said and the others nodded.
"We'll have to figure out what she's planning, though I could hazard a guess" Carlisle said. "Then we'll have to have to explain about Bella being an imprint and hope that they understand".
Embry didn't look too happy about this.
"Why would Bella be involved?"
"Because" Rosalie sighed "Laurent was obviously after her and seeing that she's a human that knows about us, they'll want to change her".
There were arguments from all around the room at this news.
Only Bella noticed that the twins were silent and seemed to be deep in thought.
It was unusual how quiet they were being.
It was even more unusual that no one seemed to notice but Bella guessed that they were a bit preoccupied with going over the best plan to deal with these vampire kings and keeping her human.
"Um...no offence" Eva caught the rooms attention and Ava nodded finishing her sister's sentence.
"But isn't Carlisle friends with them? Why doesn't he just call and explain?"
Edward opened his mouth to answer but like everyone else, he didn't know what to say. The girls looked at everyone, trying not to giggle at them. For a bunch of vampires and werewolves, who's minds were supposed to work fast, they sure did miss some of the most simple and obvious solutions.
"It's not our fault Love" Edward pouted.
"I'm sure" she drawled with a playful smirk.
"Do you think that will work?" Eva asked a thoughtful Carlisle.
"It might...I'll call and see. We can only hope".
With that said the head of the Cullen family went off in hopes of ending this before it started. Alice was going through visions with some worry. Right now they kept switching between the Volturi listening to them or believing Irene.
What really worried her was that in both visions the Volturi still appeared in Forks.
########################################################################################################
Aro Volturi, one of the three rulers of the Volturi coven was stuck in a dilemma.
On one hand a female vampire from the Denali clan had come and asked for retribution for the death of her mate from werewolves. She described them as vicious, bloodthirsty creatures that had to be put down.
Then, before she had even finished her tale, he had gotten a call from his old friend Carlisle Cullen.
Carlisle had then surprised Aro by telling him that the wolves were in fact NOT children of the moon and had complete control over their other forms. He then went on to describe how it was Irina's mate in fact who was in the wrong by purposely going after a human mate of one of the wolfs.
The biggest shock came when Carlisle had said he had recently gained many new family members, including this wolf tribe, and one made it so the vampire didn't feel the thirst for human blood. This would mean that the man went out of his way to harm this human merely for sport.
Aro would be the first to admit that he was not always a good man, but the thought of not having to drink blood and still choosing too made very little sense to him.
He knew his brother Caius was practically foaming at the mouth to kill the wolves, having had a bad experience with a werewolf when he had first been turned.
Marcus, well he wasn't sure what his quiet brother would do. He barely talked since his mate had been killed.
Still, Aro didn't know who to believe though a part of him leaned towards Carlisle. But then what about this human who knew of them? Did they let her go since she was a wolf's mate?
He also saw this as an opportunity to once again try to sway Alice and Edward, not to mention the God of War over to his clan.
And these new members sounded...powerful.
Perhaps a more personal visit was in order?
'Yes, that is what I'll would do' he thought happily to himself. He would gather up a few of his most trusted, call Carlisle and arrange a meeting so they could straighten this all out.
Sweeping back into the thrown room he looked at the other two kings, not sparing the anxious Irene even a glance.
"Time to pack brothers, we leave as son as possible" he stated ignoring Caius' scowl and Marcus' sigh. "We are going to Forks".
########################################################################################################
"...And don't cuss at any of them, please for the love of everything that is holy" Edward was telling the twins and Daniela, who were only partially paying attention.
"Yeah, no cussing we got it Sugar" Ava tried to placate her boyfriend but it was no use. He started his 'what not to do in front of the Volturi' speech once again.
They saw Jasper, Emmett, and Jared laughing behind his back while Paul simply smirked at them.
"I think they get it" Leah said as Alice and Rose sniggered.
"But they have to know-" he started before Ava took his face in her hands and smiled at him lovingly, if not with a dose of exasperation.
"Edward, Sugar, we all know that there is more of a chance of them showing up in pink ball gowns singing My Heart Will Go On than us being able to hold all retorts in. Whatever happens, happens. Relax".
Eva bit her lip to hide her amusement while Daniela tried to cover her smirk with her hand.
"I know" he sighed wrapping his arms around her. "It's just-. I'm sorry".
Ava chuckled and kissed his nose.
"Don't be".
"Aw, a touching moment in deed" came a voice from in front of the house and they turned to see a group of pale strangers. The voice belonged to a long black haired man with red eyes and skin so white it almost looked translucent.
His voice was oddly feminine surprising some of the others.
"Aro" Carlisle said making the girls' eyes widen as they took in the rest of the group.
The Volturi. They sure didn't waste time.
The wolves shifted nervously on their feet besides Jacob and Ava. Jacob stood protectively by his mate while Ava, Eva, and Danny were busy staring at Jane with weird expressions.
"Please don't" Edward mumbled rubbing his eyes though everyone heard.
Jane glared at the three girls prompting Leah to wrap and arm around Danny, but their expressions didn't falter.
"What" she finally spat. She wasn't used to people staring at her and the ones that did never lasted long. They feared her and she enjoyed that very much. The fact that these three were staring at her in...well she couldn't identify exactly what it was but she knew it wasn't fear and that was pissing the little blonde vampire off.
"Nothing..." Daniela started but trailed off still staring.
"It's just you look like..." said Eva trying to pick her words wisely yet not take her eyes off of the girl.
"Like what" Jane demanded in a dangerous tone as the two groups watched.
"Well" Daniela and Eva said laying a hand each on Ava's arms.
They didn't want to give Ava a chance to say what they were all thinking.
"Spit it out!" Jane yelled.
"You look like a possessed Bratz doll!" Ava yelled freaked out. She was never a fan of dolls.
Too late.
"What did you say" Jane asked menacingly while her brother Alec raised his brows in surprise and secret amusement along with most of the Volturi.
The pack and Cullens looked at the girls universally wishing that duck taping Ava's mouth would work. Probably not. Even though some of them agreed with her sentiment, it didn't mean they appreciated her timing.
"Nothing, she's just in shock" Daniela tried to sooth the girl. The fact that the three of them were still looking at her with big eyes and tight lips took away from her words.
"Fucking Chucky" Ava muttered before Eva smacked her arm.
"And you, lovely lady, are?" Aro asked her cheerfully and finally her eyes were pulled away from the blonde to the king.
"Ava, I'm Edward's fiancé and the second command in the pack" she told him making his eyes widen briefly.
"You're a werewolf!?" Caius spat.
"No, they're shape shifters. There's a difference" Eva told him and he looked to her before his eyes widened.
Edward frowned, as did Jasper while Jacob pushed her slightly behind him.
He didn't like the almost awed look the other leader was giving her.
Neither did her sister.
"Anyway" she said with a glare at the man before Daniela poked her elbow into her ribs. "Though it'd be cool to be a werewolf, we are in fact shifters. And Laurent attacked one of our mates. We were totally in our rights to kill him" she said getting straight to the point.
Jacob nodded and the others looked at her proudly. Embry was silently thankful that she had said them, making it clear that they stood together.
"Perhaps" Marcus spoke up actually surprising his brothers. "You're special...somehow" he added thoughtfully.
Ava preened, Daniela nodded as if it was obvious, and Eva tipped an invisible hat.
"What about the human with them?" Alec asked eyeing Daniela with a smirk. Whether it was from attraction, hunger, or both she didn't want to know. The petite girl had to stop herself from flipping the young boy off when she found herself surrounded and protected by her friends.
"She's my mate" Leah said proudly. Some of the guards looked shocked while others just nodded.
One guard, they noticed, kept stealing glances at Seth.
"Felix, what are you doing?" asked Demetri when he saw his friend eyeing the young wolf. This made Seth look up and lock eyes with the huge vampire prompting them both to gasp.
"Well..." Eva started.
"I'll be honest. Didn't see that one coming" Ava finished for her.
"Me either" Leah added.
"Dude" Quil said and Seth blushed. "You're gay?"
"Yes" he mumbled and Felix glared at Quil when he gawked. "Didn't you notice I never liked any girls?"
"I just thought that you had really odd high standards when it came to girls".
"I do" Seth said "They have to be dudes".
The twins burst out laughing. "That was good" they said trying to breathe as Daniela clapped. Leah patted his back along with Jasper and Jared. Paul went to say something but one look from everyone had him shutting up.
"What about you" Caius said bringing the attention back on himself. He was looking at Eva.
"What about me?"
"You don't look like a vampire, and you don't smell like a wolf" he licked his lips.
Edward tensed up making Ava and Jacob do the same.
"You'll have to be changed. I can do it" he sounded almost eager.
Eva looked him in the eye before her body changed and in her place was the twin of Aro in a maxi dress. "Is this what you like?" she asked making Ava double over in laughter. "Is this what you want?"
Caius was so surprised he actually stumbled back before the real Aro's voice shocked him back to his senses.
"Delightful" Aro complimented as her features once again melted into her familiar head of pink and blue eyes.
"Very powerful" he commented with a certain gleam in his eye.
"As you can see" Carlisle said trying to get Aro's attention off of the twins. "No laws have been broken. We were in our rights and did what we had too".
"Perhaps" Aro said before putting his hand out palm up as his gaze shifted to Ava who Edward was trying to block with his body.
"Would you mind showing me my dear?" he asked pleasantly but there was an unmistakable underlined threat in his tone.
Everyone tensed since they didn't want Aro to see the girls' secret and there was no way he wouldn't see it.
Slowly, with both Edward and Sam besides her, Ava reached Aro and placed her hand in his.
He gasped, though not for the reason they had all assumed.
"Such a burden to bare at such a young age. To choose between the life of a parent and the life of a sibling, something no child should ever have to do".
Everyone, besides Daniela and Eva, looked at Ava stunned only to find an uncharacteristic blank expression on her face as she stared at nothing. Aro let her hand go and patted her shoulder.
"I apologize for making you have to relive that. It is obvious that the attack was provoked and not your packs fault". She gave him a tight nod before moving back into Edward's embrace.
"Since we have traveled all this way on a mistake" Aro said with a teasing lilt. "Would it be too much to ask for an invitation to the upcoming wedding in a few day? This would also give Felix and your friend here time to talk."
Just then everyone became very aware that the two supernatural beings had moved closer to each other.
Ava smiled and chuckled coming out of her pervious state. "As long as you don't eat the guest or take everyone's attention off my dress, I think that'd be fine".
Marcus gave a small smile while Caius huffed though he didn't say anything. He looked at Eva and didn't look so moody anymore.
This was something they'd have to watch out for.
Jane glared at them while Alec smirked at Daniela making her roll her eyes.
Ava whistled lowly and laughed. 'Draaaaama!'
########################################################################################################
A week had passed and it was the night before Edward and Ava's big day.
They would be man and wife.
Of course then they still had graduation at the end of the year but this was what they were most looking forward too.
Though their friends and family were looking forward to tonight seeing as it was their respective bachelor and bachelorette parties.
A few kids from school had tried to get invited but none of the teens wanted to have to act or behave a certain way, they wanted to let loose.
Of course that wasn't how Edward worded it, but the idea was the same.
"Hello Love" he said climbing through her old window at the Swan house making her laugh.
"You know you're supposed to be at your party right? Wait they didn't get you strippers did they?" she asked amused.
"No, of course not".
"Oh" she sighed before perking up excitedly. "Did they get me strippers?!"
"No!" he said laughing and Ava joined him.
"Bummer".
"I just couldn't stay away for so long, future wife".
She smiled and snuggled up to him as he took a spot on her bed. "Soon we won't have to be apart ever again, future husband."
"I love how that sounds" he mumbled into her hair and she smiled.
"Me too".
"There was something I wanted to go over".
"It's not table manners again is it? Because I told you that Mike deserved it" she defended herself before she started muttering. "Thinking he can touch MY food. Little shit deserved a fork to the hand...making me mumble to myself".
Edward calmed her down and kissed her head.
"No Love I was talking about my past. I know you know most of it, but I...I need to say it aloud. Please".
Ava looked at him and nodded. Edward took a deep breath taking comfort from her being so close. Finally he opened his mouth again though his voice was so soft Ava doubted she would have heard it had it not been for the wolf genes.
"I...killed people. Yes, they were bad people but it made me no better. They're fear as I drained them, stole their lives, it still haunts me to this day. I am terrified that if I were ever to be judged by the Lord that my soul would be thrown in hell."
Ava went to protest but he quieted her with a finger against her lips.
"Now, however, I don't feel so strongly about it. You have pointed out that I did more good than bad by stopping these people, even if it still bares on my conscious. You have helped me begin to realize that nothing is simply black and white but a wide variety of greys. But most importantly, you have given me your love, something so pure and amazing and I believe, because of you, that I do have a soul and it is safe".
He finished with tears in his eyes only to find them reflected in Ava's. Unlike his however, hers actually began gliding down her cheeks.
"I love you so much you beautiful emotional man" she laughed through her tears which he wiped away.
"I love you too you masculine hard ass" he teased and she barked out a laugh.
It was trued though.
Edward seemed much more gentle and in tuned with his more stereotypically 'feminine' side, while Ava often came off far more like 'the man' of the relationship. At least that was how most people saw them.
"I have something I wanted to talk to you about too" she told him and he nodded locking their gazes. "I know you're just as curious as the others about what Aro meant the other day, thank you by the way for not pushing".
"It wasn't my place" he told her.
"But it will be, tomorrow" she couldn't stop the giddy smile from overtaking her face before she managed to relax. "I don't want us to have any secrets, so I want you to know. You can help me with this when I get lost in it, and I'll help you with your guilt".
He nodded, it made sense.
"When..." she cleared her throat trying not to tear up again. "When I was ten my mother picked up Eva and I from dance class. I wasn't very good, but Eva was actually quite gifted. I didn't mind since we both had things we liked and I enjoyed watching her dance. After every class we would get ice cream and sing in the car on the drive back."
She paused to smile fondly.
"One night, as we going through some of fog a car hit us".
Edward pulled her tighter to him.
"I-I was the only one conscious since it hit my mother's side and I had used my older twin privileges to sit up front. Eva was knocked out and bleeding from her head...a lot."
She almost whispered the last part as her eyes became slightly glossed over and she lost herself to the memory.
"My mother looked stuck between the steering wheel and her nose was broken because her airbag failed. I got scared because they were both bleeding so much and I knew we had to get out of the car."
She swallowed thickly not looking into his eyes. Edward tried not to make a sound for his part, seeing the accident through his mated memories was traumatic.
"I tried to carry them both but they were too heavy so I had to pick who to get out first. Eva is, although my twin, still my little sister so I dragged her out onto the snow first and wrapped her in my jacket. When I turned back to the car... it caught on fire and knocked me back when it blew. My mother was still inside".
She finished and waited for him to say something though neither knew what there was he could say.
"It was a hard decision, one you could never truly win" he finally settled on.
Ava started to sob but still spoke. "I heard my relatives, at the funeral talking about how it was my fault she was dead. I was so afraid that Dad and Eva would hate me. I don't want them to hate me" she sobbed and he pulled her tighter, feeling for the pain this amazing girl had been put in.
He was also angry at these adults who felt they could comment on something horrific that they had never even come close to having to go through, and he told her as much. "I don't think it's possible for your father or Eva to hate you" he added and she looked at him with her big green eyes.
"Your father adores you both and Eva looks at you for guidance and approval. Even now I see it, she watches your every move hoping to live up to the image she had created of you."
They held each other in silence for awhile before someone yelled from below her window.
"Send him out Ava, or we'll come in" Emmett promised.
"We'll bring him back in one piece, we promise" Jasper added ignoring the grumbles of Paul. He was still a bit sore at being picked over a leech.
Ava laughed as he wiped her tears for her just as the girls piled into her room.
"Out, out" Alice shooed Edward though she allowed them to get one last kiss in.
"Love you, future wife" he said as he started to jump out the window.
"And you, future husband" she smiled making sure her face was dry. She was surprised to find Eva looking at her with a sad but understanding smile.
'Just how much had they heard?' she wondered.
Her answer came when Eva rushed up and hugged her holding her sister to her. "I love you" she told her strongly and Ava had to cough to cover up another sob. She wasn't used to showing so much actual emotion, at least none of the negative ones.
"You too" she said and Eva pulled back with a smiled.
"Come on" Rose said smirking and Daniela giggled from near Leah and Esme. "It's your bachelorette party, lets go!"
Her expression told Ava that it was about to get crazy.
A/N: What do you think? Now we finally know what happened to Mrs. Bedlam. What about Jane and Caius? What about Felix, I just had to do it. Next chapter has; the parties, the wedding, secrets, and more. Review, ask, or suggest if you'd like. Until next time, have a great day.
