Chapter 27: A Future Unknown

Nessie's POV

Where was this all headed? I wondered to myself. I knew where I was headed. Volterra, Italy. But I didn't know what lied ahead for me once I arrived there. The fear inside of me only increased when I followed Alec onto an airplane at the airport. I didn't want to go but I didn't have a choice. If I wanted to save my family I had to go with them.

As I stepped onto the plane I glanced back one last time. I was sure that this was the last time I would ever see my home again. I took one look around the plane and I realized that it was a private airplane. I was not sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing. I just took a seat by the window and continued to stare outside.

I felt someone sit in the seat next to mine. I shifted uncomfortably. I didn't want to be here. I really didn't want to be here. I couldn't shake the feeling that my life was still in danger. It didn't matter how hard I tried.

"Don't worry girl. I'm not going to hurt you,"

I turned my head and spotted Alec sitting next to me. I didn't say a single word to him. What did you say to someone like him in a situation like this?

"You're really beautiful," he said.

"What?" I gasped in shock.

"You are very beautiful. "One of the most beautiful girls I have ever laid eyes on and believe me I've met a lot of girls,"

What the hell?! Where the hell was this coming from?! The guy is taking me away from my family and he's telling me he likes me?! Although when I looked at him I had to admit that he was a good looking guy himself. If I wasn't so terrified right now I would be very attracted to him. Physically he was only a year or two older than me.

I shook my head. This was not the time to be thinking about boys. My life was in danger. My family's lives were in danger. I had absolutely no idea what was going to happen to me.

"What have I done?" I whispered to myself. Forgetting for the moment that I was sitting next to a vampire who could hear everything I was saying.

"You have exposed us all. Completely shattered the most sacred of all our laws,"

"I know that!" I snapped. "I'm the reason for everything that has happened. I don't need reminding that this is all my fault,"

"I'm sure you don't girl,"

"My name isn't girl. It is Renesmee. Or Nessie. Whatever you prefer but don't call me 'girl'"

"I'm sorry gjr-I mean Nessie,"

"So who is dead?"

"Dead?"

"Earlier you said that if I went with the Volturi you all wouldn't kill any more of my family members. I just want to know. Who is dead?"

I dreaded the answer. There was a huge part of me that didn't want to know the answer but still, I had to know. No matter how much it hurt. Hurt it would most definitely would.

He didn't answer me at first. Which only scared me more. I needed to know whose death I was reponsible for.

"I think their names are Carlisle and Esme,"

My grandparents. No it couldn't be! I started sobbing uncontrollably. The grief and anguish I felt was too much for me to handle. My grandparents were dead and it was all my fault. I may not have known them for long but I loved them. I just hoped that my actions had saved the rest of my family.

"Don't cry Nessie,"

"Don't cry!" I shouted at Alec. "My grandparents are dead. I'm leaving the rest of my famiky behind and will most likely not ever see them again and you don't think I should cry!"

"I'm sorry," he said. "But you really should try to quiet down. Aro, Caius, and Marcus approaching,"

Just like that I'd gone from sad to completely terrified again. He was right. A few minutes later I saw several hooded figures coming our way. All I could see were red eyes and hooded cloaks. Of course they spotted me instantly.

"My my," he said. "So you're the one who broke the most sacred of all our laws,"

"I-I um-I"

He grabbed my hand so quickly that my brain barely even had time to register what happened."Wow such an interesting life you have led so far young one,"

"I-I mean who are you? What are you going to do with me?"

"I'm Aro. This is Caius and Marcus. Over here is Jane. This is Chelsea, Demitri and you've already met Alec. Don't worry you will meet everyone else once we arrive in Italy,"

"Where is my family? What did you do to them?"

"Apart from Carlisle and Esme your family is fine. Nothing will happen to them since you agreed to the proposition that Alec offered you on our behalf. You're an interesting creature that we can learn much from. From now on consider us your family,"

"Do they know I'm here?"

"No we managed to keep this a secret from your fathe . They have no idea that you've agreed to join us,"

I looked outside as the plane began to takeoff. I watched as we got higher and higer in the air. The family and life that I loved was getting farther and farther behind. I had never felt so scared or trapped before. They all terrified me. Especially Alec's sister Jane. Something about that girl just really gave me the creeps. I tried my best to avoid all of them as I wallowed in my grief.

The only person I actually talked to was Alec. Oddly enough I felt more comfortable with him then any of the others. He was the only one who actually seemed to care about me. There were human servants onboard and it was Alec that really made sure they took care of me.

Really beautiful. He had called me. In my opinion he was the beautiful one. I sighed. Why was I thinking about boys in a time like this?

I somehow fell asleep during the fligh . I dreamt that I was back home with my family and that they were all alive. That we were at peace together. Happy. I didn't wake up until someone shook me awake.

"We're about to land," Alec said.

I watched as the foreign land got closer and closer. A future unknown was upon me.
