'Hey Bella, it's time for breakfast' Edward said from my doorway. I just rolled onto my side and tried to go back to sleep.
'I'm not hungry Edward' I managed to say. He walked over to me and placed his hand on my forehead.
'Bella, you're cold' he pulled his hand away and called for Carlisle who was next my bed in a flash.
'Nothing's medically wrong with her. She's just suffering from some form of depression' BINGO!
'Is that true Bella?' Damn it. Now I have to lie again.
'No. Everything's fine Edward. I'm just not hungry' I hated to lie but I didn't want to tell him the truth.
'Alright Bella' they both left and I let my mind wander back into my thoughts.
Bella, how can you lie like that? You know something's wrong. You're not hungry? You're always hungry. Your skin is usually warm, what's happened to you?
'Leave me alone' I said. The voice in my head was like an annoying person who never leaves you alone.
'Bella, are you alright' Alice walked into my room and sat at the foot of my bed. I sat myself up and crossed my legs.
'No. Something's wrong with me. I'm not hungry and Edward said my skin is cold and, now that I look at myself, my skin is paler than usual' I looked at my hand and it was true.
'You're probably just exhausted. Come downstairs, you shouldn't be cooped up here. You can sleep on the couch next to Edward' I nodded and we walked downstairs together. I sat on the couch next to Edward and I rested my head on his shoulder.
'Close your eyes Bella. I'm not going anywhere' I closed me eyes and went back to sleep and continued my dream from earlier.
'Edward no' I ran over to him but it was too late. He had already made his wish and there was nothing I could do.
'I'm so sorry Bella' he wrapped his arms around me. I kissed his cheek and let out the tears that were hidden behind my eyes.
'It's alright' I ran my fingers through his hair and gave him one of the most passionate kisses I've ever given.
Suddenly he started to disappear. I reached out to touch him but it was too late. He was gone and now I was alone.
'Don't go' I screamed. I looked around and everyone was staring at me. I felt my face heat up and I quickly hid it in Edward's chest.
'Don't hide it Bella. It's nice to see come color on your face' he lifted my head up so our eyes were level.
'Am I really that pale?'
'Unfortunately' I dropped my eyes but he made me look at him. I smiled and he gave me a quick kiss.
'I'm sorry' he shook his head and smiled that crooked smile that made my heart melt.
'Don't be. Are you hungry yet?' I thought about and realized that I wasn't.
'No actually. I'm not' he looked surprised and so did everyone else.
'You haven't eaten for 12 hours Bella' I looked at him and then I looked at everyone else. They nodded.
'Are you serious?' I didn't even feel hungry. What was wrong with me?
'Yes Bella. Are you feeling ok?' I nodded. I felt fine. It was really weird.
'Kids, are you all in the living room?' Carlisle asked from somewhere in the house. Everyone yelled yes and he was downstairs in a flash with Esme.
'Ok, we have something important to tell you. For some reason the Volturi have found out about Bella knowing our secret and they've decided to pay us a little visit' everyone shifted in their seats but I didn't know why. Who were the Volturi?
'Why are they coming here?' Alice asked with fear in her tone. Why was she so scared? Why are the Volturi coming out here?
'They feel that they should meet the human that we've so gladly told out secret to' everyone exchanged glances and it made me feel uneasy.
'When will they be here?' Edward asked. Carlisle looked at the clock that was mounted on the wall.
'Ten minutes' everyone fell silent and they all looked at me. Why isn't anyone telling me what the hell the Volturi are?
'C'mon Bella. We've gotta get you dressed' Edward scooped me into his arms and carried me up to my room. He set me down on my bed and walked over to my dresser.
'What do you want to wear?' he asked as he rummaged through it. I shrugged so he pulled out a pair of capris and a cute black tank top.
'Thanks' I said as I grabbed the outfit. I started to undress and he quickly turned around. I smiled and changed into the outfit.
'Done' I said when I had finished putting on my shirt. He turned around and smiled when he saw me. He walked over to my and picked me up again.
'You look beautiful' I smiled and he kissed my nose. He carried me downstairs and we sat back down on our couch.
'Who're the Volturi?' I asked.
'They're the most powerful vampire coven. They're pretty much the rulers of the vampires' that's why they were all freaking out. It makes much more sense now.
'Now, we wait' Carlisle added. Those ten minutes went by so slow. No one said anything. It was like looking at a picture. Everyone was so still. It was scary.
'Hello' someone called from the front door. Everyone stood so I assumed I should too. Emmett answered the door and there were three vampires. Two male and one female.
'Hello Aro, Jane, Alec' Carlisle said. The three of them smiled at him and walked in. They looked around the room and when they saw me they all smiled.
'Is this the human?' the one named Aro asked. Edward quickly grabbed my hand and squeezed it.
'Yes. Her name is Isabella Swan but we call her Bella' Carlisle answered as they walked towards me. Aro stretched out his hand and I slowly took it.
'Don't be frightened dear Isabella. I'm not going to hurt you. Not yet at least' I quickly withdrew my hand and grabbed Edward's arm. Aro laughed and then turned to Carlisle.
'I would like to speak with you in private if you don't mind' Carlisle nodded and they walked off. We all sat down and Jane and Alec still stood.
'How are you two doing?' Esme asked in a motherly tone. Jane and Alec both looked at each other and muttered something.
'We've been fine' Jane answered. She shot me a glance and I felt a thrill of genuine fear raise the hairs on my arms.
'Thank you so much Carlisle' Aro said when they came back into the room. He looked at Jane and Alec and they nodded.
'I hope to see you all soon. Goodbye Isabella' the three of them left and that was it. I was expecting something much worse.
'What did you two talk about?' Esme asked Carlisle walked over to her and sat down.
'I didn't talk at all. He simply stated that if we wish to keep Bella as a part of our lives then we must change her by the next time they visit' Edward tightened his grip on my hand and it hurt a little.
'When are they coming back?' Alice asked. I closed my eyes and rested my hand on Edward's stiff shoulder.
'A month' Edward stood up, causing me to fall over and hit my head on the arm rest.
'A MONTH. WE HAVE TO CHANGE BELLA WITHING A MONTH' he roared. I covered my ears and pulled myself into a ball. Why Bella? Why did you have to do this to this family?
'I'm sorry' I muttered. Everyone looked at me curiously and I sat myself up.
'I'm sorry for burdening you. If you want I can pack my things and leave. It will be no trouble at all to me' Edward was at my side in an instant and wrapped me in an embrace.
'You're not burdening us Bella. We can find a way around this. I promise' he kissed my forehead. I looked over at Carlisle and he was saying something to Esme. The whole time he was talking he had a worried expression on his face.
'This is going to be interesting' Emmett said. I nodded and hugged Edward tighter.
FYI!!! I just wrote the last chapter for this story and it was so sad to have to write it like that but it's how my story needs to end. It's got a somewhat happy ending though. Just thought I should let you guys know. R&R for chappie 10.
