Chapter 8: Like Broken Glass
Bella's point of view again.
It was amazing how easy school was the second time you went through a grade. I mean especially if you were in advanced placement in the first place. Well, it didn't hurt that I was married to one of the smartest "people" on Earth. The fact that I already knew everything made the time come close enough to standing still to bug me. "And why again do we have to go to school?"
"It's all a part of being normal, love," Edward replied.
"I'm a vampire and I'm no genius but I'm pretty sure that automatically knocks someone off the 'normal list'."
"Fine in that case. It's all part of being a very abnormal vampire," He retorted.
I snarled. For me twelve years of school was enough. Obviously it wasn't enough for any of the other people in my family.
Then Edward abruptly stood up. Split-seconds later foot steps came down the hall and Alice closely followed by Jasper practically knocked down the door.
It took around thirty seconds for everyone to follow behind. I automatically knew there must be something very wrong.
"What? What is it?" Emmett asked, impatient with not knowing what was going on.
"They're coming," Edward barely whispered.
"Who's coming?" Esme asked.
"The Volturi," Alice replied.
"Why would they come?" I asked now in a panic. Then it came back. It all flooded my mind. They wanted our powers. Alice's, Edward's, Mine, and Renesemee's. And maybe Jaspers. But why now? Why not so long ago? Then I remembered. "They may not even come looking for us for thirty years." Edward had said that. Almost exactly thirty years ago.
"It's been thirty years," I whispered.
"Aro must have seen that in my thoughts," Edward said, "I never thought he'd actually use it against us."
"I suppose they are no longer our friends," Carlisle finally spoke, "We all know that they will use any thing to get what they want."
"Well, when are they coming," Rosealie asked Alice impatiantly. Alice glared at her for being inconsiderate during a time like this. "We have to be ready."
"They'll be here when the snow starts to melt," Alice explained, "So around March."
That's when the plans and explanations started. In only ten minutes my near perfect life had shattered like broken glass. I cloud tell this would be like every other fight. With one exception I would actually participate this time.
