Night Of The Dead [bonus]

Edward's POV

It has been eight It has been eight whole months since my angel's accident.

*Flashback*

"No Esme!" I shouted and then she looked at me, her eyes pleading. "No Mom, it would be IMPOSSIBLE continuing my life without my existence. Impossible." I headed out to the door. I ran to get my Volvo to get the hell out of here and be with my Bella forever.

It took a long trip to Italy. Instead of feeling scared that this was the end of my existence, I was enthusiastically excited to face death.

I would be with Bella forever, without anyone to stop me.

I stand here, waiting for the sun to shine. This would be the time. Ten seconds in counting.

Ten. . .

Nine. . .

Eight. . .

I could see the sun rays rising from the east.

Seven. . .

Six. . .

Five. . .

Five more seconds!

Four. . .

Three. . .

Two. . .

One!

I could feel the heat of the sun radiating through my stone cold body. It's good to shine where everyone could see me, but something was wrong. I can't hear screams and shrieks. I opened my eyes to the sudden bright light.

I'm not in the clock tower.

I'm inside the Volturi Court.

"Ah, Edward. Long time no see, my friend." Aro greeted me with a warm smile. His face was white and transparent as ever. His skin was like rubber stretching just to form that smile. Overall, he looked like a nightmare.

I can only stare and read his mind for a few seconds.

Edward will be part of us, now.

I cringed at the sentence.

Aro held out his hand for a handshake, but of course I didn't shake it. He was obviously doing it so he could read my mind, I wouldn't let him.

"Unfriendly today, aren't we?" He raised one of his faded eyebrows.

"Why am I here? I'm supposed to commit suicide."

Aro laughed his musical, yet nightmarish laugh.

"Oh son, I guess it's not possible."

"What do you mean 'not possible'? I want to die right now!"

"Ah, Jane? Help?"

That's when it hit me. Horrible Jane tortured me to death. It was good. Let the pain come, let me die. Then she stopped immediately.

"He seemed to be enjoying it, Master" Jane looked confused.

"Ha ha. Yes, of course. Little Edward wants to die because of human love."

The court room burst into frantic laughter.

"A love for a human girl, is that it?" Marcus stepped forward, arms crossed.

"She's not any girl, her name is Bella." I corrected them.

"Hah! The human girl has a name!" Marcus said sarcastically.

"Aww, vampire and prey? How unexpected." Jane said in her baby voice.

"Both of you shush! We are not here to mock Edward." Aro said, voice full of

authority.

"Yes, Master." The two obeyed.

"Edward, we have noticed that there are some changes that occurred, especially when you are together with this . . . girl.

We are not saying that it's better off without her, but according to Authorization no. 1209: We mythical creatures are not allowed to a relationship among humans. I know that this law had been abolished, but it was clearly stated that our kinds are to not fall in love with humans."

"What is your point, exactly?" I questioned, irritated.

"My point is, if you can be the authority among our kinds, you could deal with all

the rules that get in your way."

"You mean, Aro, that I should join the Volturi for better life?"

"Not exactly," he stepped forward to place his hands on my shoulders, I shook it away.

"Just look, Edward. We're going to be the most powerful authority and you could protect Bella anytime you want."

He was trying to lure me.

"No, I do not want to join you." I answered simply.

"Then, it's you choice, son. Have it your way. You're here because I'm proud to tell you that you will not commit suicide because I think without your silly human wit, or Bella, as you call her," Marcus and Jane coughed to hide their laugh.

"You will move on without her, if you try committing suicide again, feel free. We will just send you back here. Everyone of our kind will be warned not to kill you, because if they did, their punishment is worse."

I couldn't help but stare at him, it was unfair.

It was an order.
