'Okay, settle down' Carlisle said, the authority in his voice was admirable. He gaze settled on me and he gestured around him. 'Now Bella, could you tell us why the Volturi is coming?' he asked.
'Well...' I started and then I told them. I told the everything, from when I first met Aro when I was seven all the until Emmett found me in the meadow having been shot. They all just stared at me after I had finished telling my story. 'So... What happens now?'
Jasper took my hand and pulled me against him. But I had stopped caring that he kept doing that, not that I really cared all that much before. 'I'll keep you safe. Always' He whispered with conviction nuzzuling his noice in my hair.
'We'll protect you' Edward corected with a smirk, Jasper growled and Edward's smirk turned into a wide grin, Edward raised an eyebrow at Jasper looking my up and down. I blushed under his gaze and Jasper growled again, I had a very strang feeling that I was missing something important.
'Jas, stop growling' I said in my morst no-nonsence tone. He pulled back a little and kissed my temple.
'Sorry, darlin'' he mumbled.
'It's okay, I forgive ya' I said giving him a quick kiss on the cheek then pulled away from him and walked over to the couch where my bag sat. I dug through it until I felt the cool surface of the fack metal gun, well, it wasn't quite fake, if you cocked it and pulled the trigger a bulet would came out, but not with a lot of force.
'Whoa there slugger' Emmett said grabbing the gun out of my hands 'I know it seems bad, but that aint gonna help'
I laughed and moved easily pulling the gun out of his grasp 'It's a Celtic candle' I said walking out the door. 'Well, the hoder for it anyway' I corected. I cocked the gun twice and then a third and it pulled back completely reviling the small candle that had been hidden there. I threw the gun back into my bag and started for the door only to be stoped by Peter. He held on th my upper arm soft enough not to hurt me, but firm enough to keep me there.
'Please don't call them Bells' Peter whined sounding very much like a six year old child instead of the seventy-something year old vampire he was.
'I have to, Peter. He needs to know that the Volturi were involed on the attack' I said in a steady voice, I was quite proud of my self since all I wanted to do was hind under a rock, peferably in the Golby desert. But I knew I couldn't do that.
I didn't know how much Aro knew and how far he would go to kill me. Or even worse hurt someone I cared about. I didn't even want to think about what would happen if the Volturi managed to capture me.
'But Ventorin hates me and others might feel the power of the flame' Perter pointed out. I, of course, had already thought about this, but I knew it was a risk I had to take. I had to call the dragon countcil, or more derctly, Ventorin. The dragon king. I don't think I mentioned this before, so I'll try to explain as much as I can what a Celtic candle is. A celtic candle is fairy magic. It will bring the one you think of to you and through the void that seperates wolds before they even know what's happaning. Which is why it was hidden and awefully rare.
The only reason I had one was my papa gave it to me and he was in alegence with the fairy king, Cale. If it were to get into the wrong hands it could literalrly end the world if they brought the right people - or wrong depending in how you looked at it - through the void. There was another downside to Celtic candles. They let out a small amout of magic that all mythical creatures could feel within a few miles giving away our location.
'Peter stop whining' I heard Charlotte say from the doorway. Charlotte was funny she actually got along quite well with the dragon countcil, were as most vampires hate them. Peter grummbled something under his breath about tag teaming and that if he didn't love up so bloddy much his life would be a lot easier. I rolled my eyes at him, but didn't coment.
I laid the candle flat on both of my palms and closed my eyes. I took a few minutes to concertrate on the candle, but I did and when I opened my eyes again I knew they had turned viberint red, the same colour as the candle that now floated above my hands in mid air. I blew on the candle and a light gray mist came out of my mouth and slowly incircled the candle, when it reached the wick the candle lit.
The light flickered and I thought of who I wanted to bring through the void. The flame grew brighter, as the light peaked I closed my eyes to consertrate better. I saw the flash of light even with my eyes closed and felt the wave of magic. The rest of the candle landed in my palms still warm and I opened my eyes to see the dragon council and the king standing before me.
Only one look startled. I didn't reconize him, so I figured the reason he was startled was because he was new to the countcil and had not been sumoned by candle before, where as the others have become use to it.
'Well, isn't this a pleasent surprise' the king comented lightly amused, he had a small smile on his lips. He opened his arms. I ran up to him and jumped into his outstreatched arms yelling 'Papa' I held him tightly and he chuckled holding me only a little less tightly 'I missed you so much'
'As I have missed you, piccolo' Papa said. Piccolo was the word for 'little one' in Italian, with is what most Alostec-ians called me. But papa prefered 'piccolo' since Italian was the only earth language that held intrest to him, yet he could speak mose languages with out even the hint of an accent, eccept when it comes to his English where his Alostec-ian accent leaked through, but it was unoticable by humans and those that did notice would not be able to place it without knowing of the dragon kingdom.
'Do I not get a hug, little one?' I pulled back from papa and looked over to where the voice had come from, though I already knew who it was. I saw him then looked back to papa, he smiled and let me go. I ran up to Isacc, much like I ran up to papa and hugged him tightly. I also hugged Alisa, Decan, Kale, Samule, Noah and was introdused to Seb, the new member.
'Not that it's not good to see you, but why have you summoned us?' Papa asked. I looked at the Cullens and my uncle and aunty. I had pretty much forgotten they were there in all the excitment, but I noticed them now.
'Well...'
I know what I said, but. I couldn't help it. Hope you chickies like the chapter. Please tell me what you think. Trixie.
