CHAPTER 8
When I arrived back home Alice was the first to greet me with a big hug, everyone else was happy to see me except for Edward who didn't even come down to welcome me back. Alice must have sensed what I was feeling as she gave me a small smile.
"Just give him time, he will come around."
I ignored Alice as I walked up to my room to have some privacy. I sat down at my desk and pulled out a pen and paper to write Alec.
Dear, My Love
I arrived home safely and was greeted by my family except for Edward, he wasn't there to greet me and still has not greeted but Alice assures me that Edward will get over it in due time.
I hope all is well for you in Volterra, I do find myself missing the bright city of Volterra and you, I do miss you from the moment I had to leave your side. I did wish to come back to Bella being changed so I could say goodbye to the whole family and then leave to be with you. I do have to go to school tomorrow so I must go, I anxiously await your reply.
Love, Amelia
I folded my letter and put it aside to mail out tomorrow when I heard a knock on my door Alice peeked her head into the room.
"Are you going to get dressed for our graduation. Oh! And we are going to have a party tonight."
I looked down at what I am wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt, not something that I would be caught dead in at a graduation.
"Yeah, give me a minute to get ready and I'll meet you downstairs."
Alice closed the door as I got up and went to my closet, I chose a dress that leaves my shoulders uncovered, instead it's supported around my neck and flows down into a beautiful court neckline. It's a tight fit which accentuates my breasts, but it does so in an elegant manner. My arms have been covered all the way down to my wrists. The sleeves are a tight, but comfortable fit from top to bottom, allowing for enough movement while still looking stylish. I gave myself a once over in the mirror and left to go downstairs, once downstairs I saw that Esme, Carlisle and Rose and Emmett were the only one waiting while the others had gone on ahead. Emmett had a big grin on his face while everyone else had a conflicted look on their faces, at first I didn't understand then I realized that I had pinned my hair up and so the bite mark Alec gave me was on display for them.
"So, did you break a lot of things?"
I didn't answer as Rose hit Emmett while Carlisle and Esme gave Emmett a look that told him to shut up. Nothing else was said as we left, I rode with Carlisle and Esme while Rose and Emmett took their own cars.
After graduation Alice rushed us all home to finish getting ready for the party and start to set out the food for all the humans. The party started at 8:00 and almost the whole school showed up to see what kind of party the Cullen's would throw. Halfway through the party three wolves show up who where invited by Bella, I was going to kick them out when Alice interrupted by having a vision of an army of newborn vampires coming for Bella. We ended the party early as Carlisle and Esme came back from their hunt to discuss what we were going to do the wolves that Bella invited stayed behind wanting to know what was going to happen, Alice explained what happened in her vision and that they were coming to Forks instead of us going to Seattle. Jacob was quick to volunteer the pack to help which was admirable but Bella didn't seem to like that, I couldn't handle Bella be more worried about Jacobs safety then Edward.
"Bella you need to shut up. Our coven is in danger again because of you, Victoria is targeting you. Victoria wants to kill Edward, she will be coming for Edward not Jacob. Edward is your mate and is in danger you should be more worried about him then some mutt."
I stormed out before anyone could say anything, I didn't need them to say anything I knew I shouldn't have said anything but I couldn't keep my mouth shut over Bella's disrespect to Edward. After the family meeting was over the wolves left with an agreement to meet for a training session that me and Jasper would be leading due to our background in fighting in the southern armies, I couldn't help the excitement I felt at the prospect of fighting again.
