Chapter 7

"You have nothing to say about that! I can go out with anybody I want!" I screamed.

"I'm your father, I have every right to say something about it!" Dad screamed back. His hands were shaking, and he needed to calm down. "You are not going out with him!"

"Dad, calm down! You will lose control, and I don't want to get hurt," I said calmly.

"I won't hurt you, I will hurt him!" He pointed at Alec, and the next moment he was changed. The big wolf growled at me and Alec.

"Dawn, we need to go! I can't defend us both," Alec said. He pulled my hand, which I didn't remember he was holding, and gripped my shoulders with both hands. "Close your eyes."

I felt the air around me move, and when I felt the ground unther my feet, I opened my eyes. I looked down and saw that I didn't feel the ground unther my feet, but a thick branch. Alec had jumped to the top of a tree. The wolves were standing untherneath us, growling.

"Change, and then fly to the car. I will follow you," Alec said.

I was in my underwear. I changed into a bug, and my panties and bra fell off me. Alec took all my clothes, and ran away. I shifted into an eagle, and flew as fast as I could to the car. When I came there, Alec was already sitting in the car. He pushed one window open and I flew inside.

"Your clothes are in the back, but I think you need to stay animal for a while. Your father is coming right after us, and I want you to be able to run." He was right, as soon as he started the car, the wolves were after us. The car wasn't nearly as fast as the wolves, so we had to stop the car and get out. But my father changed human again.

"Please, Dawn! I want to talk to you! I want to make a compromise. Change into your wolf form." Alpha voice talking, I couln't ignore it. I flew out of the car and became a wolf. Alec looked confused; I had never explained the Alpha thing to him. But he was smart and stayed in the car.

"Dad, I don't want to hear it."

"Please, listen. We need to make a compromise."

"Sure."

"You can go out with the bloodsucker…"

"Don't call him like that"

He sighed. "With the Volturi, if you promise me to give us every information about any planned attacks."

"But I can't get any information about that!"

"Dawn, I know you're lying." I was lying. Aro had said he would tell me everything I wanted to know. "Do we have a deal?"

"Yes, I think."

"We miss you, honey."

"I miss you too. Will you please tell Alice and Rose I finally got a fashion sense? And Bella that she doesn't need to be so afraid, I'm doing great with those vamps."

"I will. Emmett says he can't wait to fight with you, the new Volturi, and Esme wants to know if you need anything."

"I'm fine. Tell Emmett I will be waiting for it." Then I shifted again, and flew back in the car. I nodded to Alec, to tell him he could start the car.

"Everything allright? What did he tell you? Please, change." I was getting really tired of all the shifting. But I hopped to the back of the car and shifted. After I was fully dressed I climbed back.

"I need to give him all the information about attacks the Volturi is planning. Then we can go out," I said.

"That won't be a problem, because the Volturi doesn't attack. Not now," Alec said.

"Not now? Explain."

"Well, we only attack when something bad happens. And nothing happens if your father is here," Alec said.

When we came home, someone had made a delicious lasagna for me. I ate, while Alec and Sophie watched. We talked with Sophie about our conversation with Dad, and then Alec left, so I could change into something human-proof.

"I will get you some clothes, if you comb your hair, so I can braid it," Sophie said. She was back in a minute, and I had brushed my hair. Sophie braided it, and I looked human enough for the cinema. Then she gave me some clothes; jeans, t-shirt and Nike sneakers, and I was ready.

I walked to Alec's room, and knocked. "I'm ready!" I said.

"Hey, human!" Alec said when he opened the door.

"Are you ready? Do we need to tell Aro where we're going?" I said.

"No, you may absolutely tell nobody," Alec whispered.

"Why not? Sophie knows, so why not Aro?" I asked

"I will explain later," he said. "But we need to leave now."

In the car (a very expensive handmade Italian Ferrari, what else?) we continued our talk about Edward. Volterra had no cinema, so we had to go to a bigger city. The trip was great, Volterra by night was one of the most amazing things I had ever seen.

Alec had bought our tickets and we were waiting to enter the cinema hall.

"Do you like being a human for a while?" I asked him.

"I like it because I'm with you. I think you were absolutely right with your predjudice, humans are stupid. Look at what they're eating! It looks like pellets of paper." He pointed at a bucket of popcorn.

"I know it looks bad, but it tastes great. Esme makes it for me and the wolves when we go watch a movie," I said.

"So, if we want an optimal human experience, we need to buy popcorn," Alec walked in human pace to the cash desk, and bought me a huge bucket of popcorn. Then we needed to go in the hall, because the movie was starting.

The movie was plain boring. Even Alec, however he couln't, seemed to fall asleep. After a while we found out it was very funny to tease the couples in the hall. When two people were kissing, Alec used his ability on one of them for a few seconds. You should have seen the faces of the partners of those people, when it looks like they fell sleep during the kiss! When all the couples in the hall were pissed because their parters 'fell asleep' during kissing, we threw popcorn to the screen with supernatural force. Nobody could have known we did it, because we were on the last row, and very silent.

When we walked back to the car we were laughing out loud.

"That was brilliant! I never had such a good human experience!" he said.

"Yeah, me too. I wonder what Aro would say if we told him what we did." I said

"But we can't," Alec said.

"Why not? You're not dating another girl, are you?" I asked seriously.

"No, I'm not." He opened the door for me, and I stepped in. Then he walked to the driver's side, and steppid in too. "A Volturi may not date."

"What? And why not? And why are you telling me this now?" I said.

"Because love is the only way to break the Volturi bond. If I told you before you wouldn't have said yes," he said, staring at his shoes. Another couple, humans, passing by looked at him with sad eyes. Ugh, humans…

"Of course I would have said yes! I'm not mad at you, but you can't keep such secrets from me. I'm part of the family now, and you're supposed to teach me the rules."

"I promise I will next time. Well, if there will ever be a next time?" Alec said.

"Hmm, let me think. Sophie said there was going to be a dance in the Volturi headquarters tomorrow," I said.

"I'm sorry, I completely forgot to tell you that. Now I failed again in telling you everything! How is that possible, I'm a vampire, I never forget things!" he said.

"It's ok, Alec. I was just wondering if you would like to go with me?" I said.
