Bella waits impatiently at the parking lot as a yellow hard - top Porsche with darkly tinted windows screeches to a halt in front of her. The passenger door opens for her. Adelyn is behind the wheels. She pulls her chic white hooded coat for protection against the sun. As Bella climbs in and buckles up.
Where'd you get the car ? asked Bella.
Hope you not opposed to Grand Theft Auto said Adelyn.
Not today said Bella.
The yellow Porsche screams down a highway cutting lanes wearing through a Peugeot and a Fiat -.
Bella grips the dash board as Adelyn narrowly misses a car.
How much time do we have ? asked Bella.
They denied his request. He's waiting till noon, when the sun's at it's highest ... he's going to make them change their mind said Adelyn.
We have only five minutes. Where is the square ? said Bella.
Follow that lane said Adelyn pointing at the small lane.
Fine said Bella as she exits the car.
Bella try not to fall. We don't have time said Adelyn.
Bella groaned by her clumsiness and said Okay and started to run more carefully. Bella jumps into the fountain wades through the shallow water to the other side. She jumps out and barrels through the crowd. Finally, she sees Edward in the shadows just inches from the sun light.
Edward ! ... said Bella slams into him. It's like running into a brick wall.
No Edward stop open your eyes look at me said Bella.
Edward opens his eyes and looks at Bella as the clock booms it's final chime.
Carlisle was right ... heaven said Edward.
No, I'm here ... I'm alive said Bella.
You're not real ... said Edward confused.
Look at me ! Addy and Alice was wrong I'm not dead said Bella.
He begins to realize ... that she is real.
Bella ? asked Edward.
Please step back, I'm alive - here said Bella.
He suddenly kisses her, stepping back into the shade with her.
You're here said Edward.
I'm here said Bella kissing him.
Edward stiffens as two hooded figure comes into view.
I won't be need you're services after all gentle men said Edward.
Aro wants to speak with you again said Felix.
No rules are broken said Edward.
We should take this conversation to a more appropriate venue said Demetri.
Fine. Bella, why don't you stay and enjoy the festival ? said Edward.
The girl comes with us said Felix.
That's not going to happen - said Edward.
Adelyn suddenly appeared to them, pulling back the hood of her white coat.
Come on guys, it's a festival said Adelyn.
She reaches Edward and Bella positioning herself in a protective stance as well.
We wouldn't want to make a scene said Adelyn.
There won't be any scene. And we'll still win said Felix with a smirk.
But not easily said Edward.
ENOUGH said a small girl.
Felix and Demetri backed off immediately. Edward and Adelyn steps back as well. Bella can see they're afraid of this small girl.
Jane said Edward nodded his head.
" Who is she " asked Bella to Adelyn.
Just do what she says and don't ask any questions said Adelyn.
Jane tosses Edward a over coat.
Follow me said Jane as she simply turned and heads up the alley, confident they'll follow.
Jane leads Edward, Bella and Adelyn through several narrow, dark alley. Their path dead ends at a wall of brick.
Jane just strides forward and without breaking the pace drops down into a open hole in the street, it's a drain. Adelyn follows Jane. Bella looks down, sees nothing but blackness.
It's alright Addy will catch you said Edward taking Bella wrists, dangles her over the hole. Bella closed her eyes as she drops through the darkness just to be caught by Adelyn. Edward lands beside them, then Felix and Demetri.
An elegantly decorated space with old world charm. They're were greeted politely by Gianna. An attractive human receptionist. Bella, Edward and Adelyn faces three ancients as the door opens : Aro, Marcus and Caius.
Aro rises, to greet them like old friends, taking Edward's hand.
What a happy surprise ! Bella is alive after all. Isn't that wonderful ? said Aro.
Caius has a sour expression and Marcus could care less. Aro doesn't release. Edward's hand, looks at him -
Her blood appeals to you so much it makes me thirsty. How can you both stand to be so close to her ? asked Aro looking both of Adelyn and Edward.
It's not without effort said Edward.
I can see that said Aro laughing.
One touch and Aro can see every thought I ever had in my life said Edward.
You're quite the telepath yourself Edward. But wait you're sister can do a lot more that you interesting but you both cannot read Bella's thoughts. Fascinating said Aro as he releases Edward's hand and turns to Bella.
I would love to see if you are an exception to my gifts as well said Aro reaching for Bella's hand. She hesitates and finally takes it.
A beat as he hold her hand... confusion sweeping over him.
Interesting said Aro as he releases her, moves back to his chair, deep in thought.
I wonder if ... said Aro.
NO said Edward.
Let's see if she's immune to all our powers shall we Jane ? asked Aro.
Jane turns towards Bella but Edward strings in front of her - Jane instead focuses her gaze on Edward which flings him across the room where he collapses, withering in agony. Jane concentrates on him with small smile enjoying his pain.
STOP ! screamed Bella.
Adelyn and Bella rush to his side. As soon as she looks away, Edward's pain ceases. Adelyn is more determined to use Jane's power that she was waiting for this long to do it. Edward shakes his head.
Jane, dear. The girl ? said Aro.
Jane's gaze now turns towards Bella who cringes waiting the pain ... but nothing happens. Jane's grins is replaced by Anger. Aro laughs like a child with a new toy.
Jane infuriated moves towards Bella, Adelyn jumps before Bella. Aro stops her with tiny gesture.
Remarkable ! she confounds us all. So what do we do with you now ? asked Aro.
You already know what you'll do Aro said Marcus with same expression.
She knows too much; she's a liability said Caius.
That's true. Unless Edward intends to give her immortality... but that's not your intention is it . Shame said Aro.
He nods to Felix who moves towards Bella but only takes a step before Edward tackles him to the ground.
