Chapter Two Part 2: Creating New Family Ties
"I'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places that this heart of mind embraces all day through." - Billy Holiday, I'll Be Seeing You
Jacob's Pov
"What's that good awful stench?"
"Jake what are you doing here shouldn't you be at the funeral helping set up? Bella asked while coming out the door"
"I was at the funeral when I informed Sam of the fact that some of the Cullen's have come back to Forks, Sam asked me to come back firstly to check that they hadn't broken the treaty and secondly to find out how long they're going to be here for and if the rest of the Cullen's are coming back? I said/asked"
"Firstly they'd never be the first to break the treaty they are better than that despite what you and your pack may think, secondly how long they are going to be here is none of your business and lastly no the other Cullen's aren't coming back. I said"
"Mr. Black why don't you come inside and we can answer all yours and your Alpha's questions? Blondie #2 asked"
"Before we start I figured introductions would be necessary so you can know our names seeing as we know yours. My name is Major Jasper Whitlock and this lovely lady is Mary Alice Brandon. Jasper introduced
"Fine. Now why the FUCK are you here you've done enough damage to Bella as it is without you needing to come back just to leave again? I demanded"
"JACOB BLACK MIND YOUR BLOODY MANNERS IN MY HOME! Charlie shouted
"My mate and I are here because she had a vision of Bella jumping of a cliff in La Push but didn't see her come back up. To see if she's alright after all the worrying visions that my mate has been having of Bella these past few months we felt we needed to come back to explain why we left and to apologize for the way we left and for some other things that are none of your business. Jasper explained"
"Is the rest of your Coven going to be coming back? I asked"
"Not that we know of Carlisle isn't aware that we are here, which we shouldn't be as he has given an edict that the family isn't allowed to have any contact with Bella as Carlisle and Edward are convinced that Bella is Edwards mate but she isn't. Alice said"
"How long are you planning on staying in the area as we will need to pull back our patrols while you are here? I asked"
"Alice….
Edward's Pov
"I can't believe that I was such an idiot to leave Bella, I know what I did was cruel but I didn't want to put Bella in danger any more and it was the only way I could think of to get her to let me leave without trying to follow me."
"That's why I'm on my way back to my family to inform them we're moving back to Forks, Washington and that I'm going to beg Bella to forgive me and take me back. I'd do anything to have her to take me back even change her into a vampire. Even though I still hate the thought of her as a vampire and giving up a human life also giving up all that entails."
"Suddenly my phone begins to ring."
"Edward: What?"
"Rosalie: Wow, Edward finally answered the phone. I feel so honored..."
"Edward: I'm hanging up now..."
"Rosalie: Wait...! You should come home. Esme's a wreck, Carlisle never smiles. Even Emmett's depressed. You've really done a number on them."
"Edward: I'm sorry. I am. But they wouldn't be happier with me around. Trust me."
"Rosalie: I... I just miss... us. The family."
"Edward: I know. But the further away I am, the safer Bella will be. She deserves a shot at a normal life -"
"Rosalie: But see, you don't have to worry about that, not any more -"
"Edward: Why, Rose? Did something happen?"
"Rosalie: I – uh -"
"Edward: Tell me, Rosalie. Tell me! -"
"Rosalie: - Alice had a vision. She saw Bella – throw herself off a cliff... She's dead, Edward."
"Edward: I... don't believe it."
"Rosalie: Alice is there now. Thought she could help with the funeral or something."
"Rosalie: Come home, Edward. It's time... Edward...? She's been disconnected.
"I need to check if she's actually dead. Who should I call? Of course Charlie probably shouldn't use my name I'll say its Carlisle checking to see if the rumor of Bella's death is true. I'll say that Alice called from her trip to say she got a strange voice mail from Bella and became worried when she couldn't get a hold of her."
Suddenly the Swan house phone started to ring.
"Jacob: Swan residence.
"Edward: Is Chief Swan there please?"
"Jacob: He's not here. He's at a funeral..."
"Jacob: Filthy bloodsucker."
"JACOB EMPHRIAM BLACK HOW DARE YOU ANSWER MY PHONE! Charlie shouted"
"Bella: Wait, who was it?"
"Jacob: Dr. Carlisle Cullen."
"Bella: You should have let me talk to him."
"Jacob: He didn't ask for you -"
"Jacob: Step away from me, Bella."
"Bella! Alice exclaimed"
"Alice, what's wrong? Bella asked"
"That was Edward. He was calling to confirm what Rosalie told him before he's defiantly now heading to Italy to see the Volturi. Alice explained."
"HOW THE FUCK COULD YOU MISTAKE EDWARD FOR CARLISLE? Bella shouted at me"
"HOW THE FUCK WAS I TO KNOW THAT IT WASN'T CARLISLE EDWARD IDENTIFIED HIMSELF AS CARLISLE! I shouted back at Bella"
"Bella we don't have time for this we've got to go. Alice said"
"Bella I need to talk to you in private please. I asked"
"Fine you have 2 minutes. Bella said"
"Alice, Dad, Jazz can you pack up the car and make sure we have everything please? Bella asked"
Sure Bells, Bella. They said"
"Why do you have to go? I asked"
"He won't believe Alice. He has to see that I'm alive. Bella said"
"He left you, Bella. He didn't want you any more, remember? I exclaimed"
"I'm not gonna let him kill himself out of guilt. This wounds him. But Bella can't stop to soothe him. She pulls away and continues packing.
"Look, Jake, I'm sorry I -. Bella started to say"
"This place stinks to hell. I said"
"You're welcome to leave. In fact -. Bella said
"Look Bella I want you to stay here with me, the pack and Charlie I don't want you to go with those bloodsuckers. I told her"
"Look Jacob I DON'T FUCKING feel the same way for you I don't see you as anything other than a friend and little brother! Bella exclaimed"
"You haven't even tried how do you know you don't have feelings for me? I asked"
"When I try thinking about you in any other way than a friend or little brother I want to puke it feels wrong to think of you that way. Look Jacob your mate is still out there somewhere I'm not them. Bella explained"
"Bella as rightful Alpha I can choose who my mate is I want you, I don't want anyone else. I explained"
"Jacob I am already taken I have a mate in Italy waiting for me I'm sorry but I just don't feel any romantic feelings towards you. Bella explained"
"Anything else you need as I have a plane to catch and you have a funeral to go to? Bella asked"
"That's it. I said"
"Better go report to Sam. Bella sneered"
"I've done it again. I keep breaking my promise not to hurt you. Jacob cried"
"It doesn't have to be this way. Bella said"
"Yeah, it does. I said"
"It was easier when we were both human, wasn't it? I asked"
"You've never been fully human Jacob so know it wasn't, we've always just been friends. Bella said"
"Yo Jake Sam's wondering what the hold up is? Quil called"
"Quil... you, too? Bella asked"
"Yeah. Me, too. Quil said"
"Got the airline tickets. Alice called"
"You Cullen's might hunt animals but those monsters in Italy don't. I said"
"We're well aware what the Volturi are. Alice said"
"Then why are you taking Bella to them like a bottle of wine to a party? I asked"
"Let's just go. Bella said"
"Please, Bella. Stay here. For Charlie... for me. I begged"
"Goodbye, Jacob. Bella said"
"Well you both should be heading back to La Push for the funeral? Bella said"
"Yea suppose so. See you round Bella or not. I said"
"Jake tell Billy I'll be there soon. Charlie called before I disappeared into the forest"
"Sure, Sure Chief. I called back"
Jasper's Pov
"Bella remember to call me when you get a free minute I would like to talk to the Leaders. Charlie said"
"Yes Dad. I promise. I love you. Bella said"
"Love you to Bells. Charlie said"
"Well I better get going; Sue wanted to keep the service small but don't want to be late. Charlie said
"Don't worry about me. Are you gonna be okay? Bella asked"
"Yeah... but Sue, and those kids – Leah's only a year older than you. And Seth's, what, fourteen... Charlie said"
"There'll be a reception after. I might stay late, see if I can help. Charlie said"
"Ok stay safe Dad; I'll call when I get the chance to. Bella said"
"Will do Bells, you stay safe to. Charlie said"
"Don't worry Chief we'll keep her safe. I said"
"Bye kiddo. Charlie called while we drove away"
"Well Italy here we come. Bella said"
"Yep are you sure you want to do this Bella? I asked"
"Jazz I'm not doing this for Edward I'm doing this for Esme if the Volturi do actually agree to kill him it will kill Esme, so if I can even remotely prevent that from happening then I'm going to try to do it with everything at my disposal. Bella explained"
"Ok just checking. I said"
Edward's Pov
"Have you decided? I asked"
"It was an intriguing debate. We don't get many suicidal vampires. Aro said"
"Pathetic. Caius said"
"I'm afraid your gifts are too valuable to destroy. But if you're unhappy with your lot, join us. We'd be delighted to utilize your skills. Aro said"
"So you won't end this. I asked"
"Not without cause. Marcus said"
"Such a waste. Aro said"
Bella's Pov
Time Skip to Landing in Venice
"Wait here I'll go get a car. Alice said"
"Okay. We said"
"Hey Bella you do know that we might not get there in time to save him? Jazz asked"
"Yeah, I know that is a possibility Jazz. I said"
"Bella, Jazz get in the car I've had another vision Aro told Edward that they wouldn't kill him. Alice said pulling up in a car"
"Why do I feel like there is a but? Jazz asked"
"Because he's going to expose himself to the human's in Volterra. He's going to wait till 12 o'clock when the sun is at its highest. Alice said
"Of course he's going to go with the most melodramatic way of getting his way. I said"
"Where'd you get the car? I asked
"Hope you're not opposed to grand theft auto. Alice said"
"Not today. Bella said"
"How much time do we have. I asked"
"He's waiting till noon, when the sun's at its highest... He's going to make the Volturi change their minds. Alice explained"
"It's almost noon now. I said"
"There's Volterra. Jazz said
"Why are they all wearing red? I asked"
"San Marcos Day festival. The perfect setting. Large crowds. The Volturi won't let him get far enough to reveal himself – he's counting on that. Alice said"
"We only have five minutes where's the square? I asked"
"Follow that lane, He'll be under the clock tower! Alice called"
"Fare attenzione! An Italian man cried out"
"Edward! No, Edward! Don't! I yelled while running"
"Carlisle was right... heaven... Edward murmured"
"No, I'm here. I'm alive. I cried"
"You're... not real. Edward said"
"Look at me! Alice was wrong. I shouted"
"Bella? Edward asked"
"Step back you FUCKING IDIOT. I shouted"
"You're here. Edward said"
"No derr dickhead. I sneered"
"I don't need your services after all, gentlemen. Edward said"
"Aro wants to speak with you again. Felix said"
"No rules were broken. Edward said"
"We should take this conversation to a more appropriate venue. Demetri said"
"Fine. Bella, why don't you stay and enjoy the festival? Edward said"
"FUCK OFF DICKWARD YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME. I shouted"
"The girl comes with us. Felix said"
"That's not going to happen – Edward said"
"Come on, guys, it's a festival. Alice said with Jazz behind her"
"We wouldn't want to make a scene. Alice said"
"There won't be any scene. And we'll still win. Felix said"
"But not easily – Edward said"
"Enough. Jane said"
"Jane. Edward whispered"
"Aro sent me to find out what was taking so long. I see you've brought the human with you. Jane said"
"Si, when Alice had the vision that Edward was heading to Volterra to commit suicide we jumped on the first free flight to stop him. But we weren't sure if we would make it in time. So I came any way as I thought that Lord Aro would want to see me. I explained"
"Jane if we may can Alice, Major Whitlock and I walk with you and your fellow guard members if you don't mind? I asked"
Of course? Jane said/asked"
"Oh sorry my name is Isabella but friends/family call me Bella you can call me either if you want. I told her"
"Okay we better get a move on. Jane said"
"Um how long is that man hole? I asked"
"Don't worry Bella Alice will go first, I will drop you down and Alice will catch you. Edward said"
"If you so much as touch me leech I'll be the one to set you a light. I sneered at Edward"
"Jazz can you lower me down please? I asked"
"Of course Bella. Jasper said"
Aro's Pov
"Jane they send you out to bring back one and you've brought back three and a half, what a clever girl. Alec said"
"Si. Jane said"
"Benvenuto. I called"
"Welcome back Edward. I said"
Ciao, Aro. The human said (Bella)"
"Come ti chiami? I asked"
"Mi chiamo Isabella. Isabella said"
"Come stai Aro? Isabella asked"
"Sto bene. I said"
"E lei? I asked"
"Pissed off that this selfish ass-hole thinks that he has any right to come here and ask you to kill him when he was the one who left in the first place. Isabella said"
"BELLA! Language! Edward shouted"
"Go FUCK yourself DICKWARD. Isabella sneered"
"Well isn't this an interesting development. I said"
"One touch and Aro can see every thought anyone's ever had in their lives. Edward said"
"You're quite the telepath yourself, Edward. Though... you can't read Bella's thoughts. Fascinating. I said"
"I would love to see if you are an exception to my gifts, as well Isabella. I asked"
"Si, of course Lord Aro. Isabella said"
"Ha, interesting I saw nothing. I said"
"Marcus what do you see when you look at young Isabella's bonds…? I asked"
