Chapter 9:

Visitors

Alice and Jasper were just about to leave for Africa when they suddenly heard movement behind them. They turned to see a happy Aro bounced on his heels, an annoyed Caius, and tired-looking Marcus. Alice gulped at the sight of them and Jasper wrapped an arm around her shoulder reassuringly.

"Oh no, not THEM!"

"It's okay, Alice."

Esme, Rosalie, and Carlisle had come back from Bella's rock to talk to the visitors.

"So guys, when did you get here?" Esme asked.

"Oh, about a minute ago." Aro answered.

"Joy!"

"Well we would have gotten here sooner if Aro didn't have to stop and look at souvenirs at EVERY. SINGLE. STOP."

"What I like cotton candy!" Caius groaned. "Do you have a problem with that?"

"You'll just end up throwing it up anyway."

"Ah, speaking of which. Would you excuse me for a moment?" Aro turned and disappeared into the woods.

"Don't go in there for awhile. For your own safety please." Marcus advised them. Alice and Jasper felt shivers go down their spines and looked back up at Caius nervously when he spoke to them.

"So how is Bella handling her transformation?" he sneered at them. Alice cringed. Edward! I hope you read my mind even if you're far away! Don't come back here with Bella right now! Yet Edward heard his sister's thoughts too late. He had just arrived back with and excited looking Emmett and a fast-asleep Bella. His eyes grew wide and he began to growl.

"I see someone's decided to pay a little unsuspected and unwanted visit." Edward growled at Caius and Marcus. "But where is our dear friend Aro?" As if on cue, Aro reappeared from the woods, looking sickened yet happy.

"Ah! Edward! It's so good to see you!" Aro beamed and then frowned when he looked at the sleeping Bella in his arms. "You do realize that vampires can't sleep Edward?" Caius groaned.

"Of course vampires can't sleep Aro, do you believe that we're all that stupid?"

"Caius, let the man speak." Marcus told Caius gruffly.

"What I mean is, do you realize what you have done? You have broken our deal Edward. We let you leave Volterra alive and you were to change Bella. You know what must happen now Edward. Bella must die." Edward's grip around Bella tightened, waking her.

Bella woke slowly, trying to register the things that were happening around her.

"Wha..?" She wasn't able to finish her sentence when she saw the three main Volturi standing before her.

A small gust of wind blew by the vampires-and Bella- and four figures emerged from the woods.

"Oh. Crap."
