Chapter 2 ~ Moving On
"WHAT! NO!" Edward screeched, he seemed to not like it the idea of me leaving him. I smirked at him and then looked at Aro.
"Delightful! We shall turn you right away!" Aro smiled at me and I nodded to show my agreement.
"B-but Bella, you w-wouldn't leave me after w-we just met up again. P-please Bella! Please no!" Edward looked horrified as he stumbled upon his words.
"Edward. You left me five months ago alone in the middle of the woods to die, you told me to let go and move on. So here I am, if anything you should be happy that I'm finally letting go of you."
He opened his mouth to speak, but before he could I started talking again.
"I have finally moved on and decided my future, it shouldn't concern you anymore because you left me. Listen to my words very carefully Edward, I don't care anymore. I don't care about your life now, I don't want to be in it with you, I have moved on."
Edward's face changed from anger and sadness to an extremely pained expression, I first thought of Jane but then realized he was hurt because of me. Of course he was, I just put out the fire in his heart. I almost felt bad when I looked at him, almost.
Edward continued to stare at me with intense pain in his face, but then after a few minutes of silence, his face turned expressionless as he decided what to do next and he looked at Aro.
"We will be leaving now, thank you for your time." He motioned for me and Alice to follow him, but we both stayed put. What part of "I'm done" does he not understand?!?
When Edward turned around to ask what we were doing, Alice took a deep breath, looked at Aro and spoke.
"I have been thinking about your offer to join the guard. Bella is like a sister to me and I can not leave her, I had a rough fight with my coven upon coming here, which resulted in me and my "mate" breaking up. I have no where to go after this because they will no longer accept me in their coven, and I've come to my senses after what Bella said earlier. I've reconsidered it and came to a conclusion."
She then took another deep breath and said "Master Aro, I would love to join you in the Volturi, if you will still have me."
Edward looked at Alice with a look of betrayal and anger. It's strange how he didn't see this coming, he must've been focused on others thoughts.
Aro looked shocked but extremely pleased, "Wonderful! Today must be our lucky day! Of course dear Alice, we would love to have you join us." He smiled at Alice and I grinned widely.
Aro then looked at Edward and said "Based on what just happened, I can tell your upset. Perhaps you will consider my offer and become one of our highest ranking guards?"
Edward, too stunned to speak, quickly shook his head in horror and disgusted, as if joining the Volturi was the worst thing on the planet.
"Very well then, Jane, dear? Would you please bring our new members to their room so Bella can be turned?" Jane nodded and started walking towards us.
Edward instantly reacted, shoving me behind him to cover me from Jane. "Bella's not going anywhere" he hissed.
Before Jane could use her gift on him, I simply walked around and went towards her, Alice following close behind.
Jane smirked at him as I approached, but he stared at Alice with a pleading look, hoping she would change her mind.
Alice didn't have the courage to look him in the eye, she simply followed behind me silently, staring at the floor.
When I got to Jane, she nodded at me and turned around, motioning for me to follow. Felix, who was back at the door guarding it, opened the it for us along with slight nod to Jane.
By the time we were walking to our room, I heard commotion coming from the throne room, I spun around and realized what was happening.
Edward must've heard something he didn't like in one of Aro's thoughts, because he lunged at him and Felix was instantly on top of him, holding him in a tight headlock.
I gasped as Aro nodded and Felix twisted Edward's head quickly off, Alice let out an ear-splitting scream and then shut her mouth, looking back down at the floor.
I felt horrified, they just ripped Edwards head off! But then it started to sink in...He finally got what he deserved...What has been coming for him ever since he left me in that forest.
I smiled and turned around, leaving Edward to be torn apart and burned. Sure I felt bad, who wouldn't after someone you know just died? But I felt more satisfied and happy then I ever had before. He's finally gone, I'm free to be immortal without him nagging me about my future. I can finally let go of him and move on with my life.
With that my smile got wider as I walked away heading in the direction we were going before, ready for my new life.
15 Hours Later...
I woke up suddenly, unaware of where I was. As soon as I opened my eyes I sat up and noticed that Alice was sitting near the window and staring outside, but when I looked her way she looked at me and gave me a quick smile, only to look back out the window again.
I sighed, taking in my surroundings and realizing where I was and what had happened yesterday. I had fallen asleep, exhausted and distraught from the events that had taken place yesterday afternoon.
I realized that this was my last day as a human, for Jane told me last night that I would be turned this afternoon. I felt a sudden rush of emotions, joy and happiness because I would soon become immortal, but at the same time I was sad and nervous, being a human had many ups and downs, some of them I loved. Also, the pain of turning would be extremely uncomfortable and feel like I was being tortured, and I wasn't looking forward to that.
I shuddered, thinking about what was about to happen, and almost instantly Alice was in front of me. "Bella? What's wrong?" She asked worriedly. "Nothing, just nervous about the pain." She knew what I meant, only nodding and comforting me with a small smile.
There was suddenly a knock at the door, and in entered Jane, with someone behind her, wearing a dark cloak that covered his eyes.
"Hey, Bella, I hope you had a good sleep, because you won't be doing that anymore." She winked at me and smiled, I returned it and nodded for her to continue.
"This is my brother Alec, he will be the one to turn you. I would've done it myself but I'm afraid I don't have much control, Alec here is very good at controlling his thirst and just fed this morning." I nodded again and Alec looked up at me from under his hood and smiled.
As soon as he looked at me I felt something...something soothing but very tiny and strange, although not small enough for not to notice. He seemed to feel it too, but much stronger because he took a step forward and then he appeared right in front of me.
I stepped back as Alice tackled him, taken aback because of the sudden closeness between us. Alice screamed and fell off of Alec twitching, and I realized Jane decided she didn't like Alice tackling her brother and punished her for it, she then looked at me and gave me a guilty smile. Alice stopped screaming abruptly and got up to stand in front of me.
Alec stood up too and went to stand next to Jane. "I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me, won't happen again." He quickly said, staring at me with deep curiosity in his expression.
"What..was that?" I couldn't help but voice the words, Alice looked slightly confused, but Jane and Alec understood what I meant. Alec was the first one to speak.
"I-I'm not sure, but I think I have an idea, you might not understand now, but I will check with Master Marcus and try to confirm my suspicions. After you are one of us, I'll try to explain it."
Jane then spoke up, "Speaking of which, it's already almost 1 o'clock! We should get started now." I nodded and Alice stepped out of the way.
I sat back down on my bed and Alec slowly approached me, being careful because of my reaction last time he came near me.
"You ready?" I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, "Yes"
He bent down, I could feel his warm breath on my neck as he placed his cold teeth to the base of my skin.
He bit down, hard. At first it felt like two needles poked into my neck, but then I felt the venom starting to spread, the intense burning sensation in my neck started to spread down my body and into my heart.
I screamed a blood curdling scream at the top of my lungs, the burning had started and I knew it wouldn't go away for whole three days...
