Chapter 2: Invitations

70 yrs later…

EPOV

It has been 70 years since I lied to my Bella, my life and only reason for existing, but it had to be done, I had to protect her from my world and the monster that I am. As I sit here and think, I remember the day that my dead heart shattered for the second time…

FLASHBACK

We were all sitting in the living room in our current home in Alaska watching 'The Vampire Diaries,' quite an amusing show actually. Oh how they got our kind wrong! It was the episode in season 1 where Damon had just killed Zach as he escaped from his cell (I think that's what happened, sorry if I'm wrong) when suddenly the show was interrupted with a news story that was live from Forks, Washington..

NEWS STORY

"We are here live in Forks, Washington where we were just informed that 18 year old Bella Swan has gone missing. There have been many search parties sent out looking for this young girl by her own father, Charlie Swan. The closest we've come to finding her was somewhere in the Forest where a pool of her own blood, her coat, and what seems like a necklace with a lion on it lays. (In my story the Cullen's gave Bella the Cullen's crest for her birthday) The case has been closed as and have suspected her as dead. If you have any information pleas-."

END OF NEWS STORY

NO! NONONONONONO! How could this of happened?! I left to protect her!

My daughter! How could this be? She deserved better than that- Esme

I TOLD YOU EDWARD! BUT DID YOU LISTEN? NO! NOW SHES GONE!- Alice

It's all my fault- Jasper

Damn, what the hell Eddie! I want my little sis back! - Emmett

Damn it! I feel like such a bitch now for treating her so poorly. I'm so sorry Edward- Rosalie

Son, I know this is hard for you, we are all going to miss her as well, but you have to let her go- Carlisle

"No! I will not let her go!" I shouted as I locked myself in my room.

END OF FLASHBACK

I was broken out of my thoughts by Carlisle.

'Son, please come down, we're having a family meeting and would like for you to join us' Carlisle thought

I sighed and walked downstairs towards my family.

'Oh so Edward lives' Rosalie thought

"Shut up rose"

"I've called this family meeting because Aro has invited us to Volterra to meet his new daughter also known as the princess of Volterra. And honestly I think we should go. So we will be leaving tonight and I do mean everybody will be leaving." Carlisle said while looking directly to me.

I couldn't help but sigh as my family and I went to pack for Volterra.
