CHAPTER 3

I decided to take a page from Edward and stay with the Denali coven, it was a big move for me, this would be the first time since I was turned that I wasn't with Jasper, it scared and excited me.

"You will be just fine, I know some time away will really do you good."

"Thanks Alice. You will call if anything happens right?"

"Of course and I will have Jasper call everyday and we will even come and visit. This is like your first step into womanhood!"

I gave her one last hug before I said my goodbyes to the rest of the family, Jasper was waiting outside for me, he was the last one I would be saying goodbye too.

"Well Jasper, are you going to give me inspiring speech to make me less nervous."

Jasper pulled me into a hug, I didn't hesitate in wrapping my arms around his waist.

"You take care of yourself Amy. It won't be the same without you here."

"I'm not leaving forever, I'll be back for your graduation, you know I have never missed one."

Jasper laughed as I pulled away from him, I leaned forward and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

When I arrived at the Denali coven house Carmen and Eleazar greeted me and led me to the spare room that would be mine.

"We will let you get settled in. We are going hunting soon if you want to join, if not Tanya is going to be staying here."

"It has been a while since I had hunted so I will join you once I have changed."

-TIME SKIP-

I had been with the Denali's for a while not wanting to go back and be the only one without a mate but when I got a call from Alice saying Edward was in danger of exposing himself to the Volturi, I didn't hesitate as I left not saying bye to anyone in the house. I got to Bella's house in record timing with just enough time to get in the backseat before Alice sped off to the airport. It didn't take us long to get on a plane to Italy, once the plane had touched down Alice said she would meet us in the parking lot with a car for us. The drive to Volterra was short due to Alice going as fast as the yellow porche she stole could go, Bella was freaking out and close to hyperventilating and couldn't stop shifting around in the seat. Once we got close to the castle we were stopped by crowds of people and the police who said we couldn't take our car any further.

"Bella, you have to go to him, he will see us coming and rush it. You are the only one he can't see, he is under the clock tower. Go! Hurry!"

Bella jumped out of the car and took off running through the crowd of people, Alice parked the car and pulled out two scarves and two sunglasses.

"Here, put this on and come on. We need to hurry."

I wrapped the scarf around my head, and put the sunglasses on and followed Alice down the street. Once we got to the castle Alice pushed open the door and stepped inside, the two Volturi guards who had Edward and Bella cornered backed up once they saw they were now outnumbered. I could tell they still wanted a fight but was stopped by a short vampire in all black, once the vampire pulled their hood back everyone averted their eyes out of fear. Jane Volturi was someone you don't mess with or even look at in fear of her gift, the power of pain, even if it was all an illusion she could make you feel like you were being burned alive, which was kind of ironic because I could literally burn someone alive with my power of pyrokinesis. None of us hesitated to follow Jane when she turned on her heels and walked back toward the elevator, the elevator ride was awkward to say the least, no one wanted to look at each other and Bella's scent was almost suffocating and the only noise that could be heard was her breathing and frantic heartbeats. Once the elevator doors opened I all but ran out but was careful not to get to close to Jane in my attempts at putting distance between me and Bella least I start to lose control but I was stopped by Alice who simply grabbed my hand and gave me a smile.

"I am so happy for you!"

I gave Alice a questioning look as her smile grew wider.

"You will meet your mate in about 5 seconds."
