Chapter 28
EPOV
Bella, Alice, Jasper and I had all been in one boat together. Bella was sitting on my lap as I drove the boat and I stroked her hair. I was thinking about Bella and I could tell that she was listening to my thoughts because she was smiling as I would think different things.
"What?" I asked as her smile grew larger, exposing her glittering white teeth. I kissed her neck and waited for her to answer.
"Nothing. I was just thinking about us." She told me as she snuggled closer to me. I grinned at her but suddenly she frowned. I stopped kissing her neck and pulled back searching her face.
"What is it, love?" I asked, looking deep into her bright, red eyes.
"I was thinking about how our honeymoon is pretty much over now."She said pouting. My lips pulled into her favorite smile and I kissed her forehead.
"Don't worry. We have the rest of eternity together. We can go on as many honeymoons as we want." I told her and she smiled at that thought.
"I know. But this was our first as a married couple. It will always be the most special." She leaned in and kissed me. She deepened the kiss and I smiled. I loved the no boundaries with Bella now that she was a vampire. I heard Alice tap Bella on her shoulder and Bella broke her lips away from mine. I opened my eyes and looked up at Alice.
"Yes, Alice?" She asked with annoyance thick in her voice. I chuckled at Bella but stopped as soon as I saw the serious look that Alice gave Bella. Alice was blocking her thoughts from me and I sighed as I watched Alice drag Bella to the opposite end of the boat. I tried to listen in to their voices but they were being too quiet for me to hear and I looked over at Jasper who seemed to be trying to listen in.
"What was that all about?" He asked me. I shrugged and looked back over to Bella who seemed to be concentrating on something very hard. I smiled as I realized how lucky I was to have a woman as beautiful as Bella. Alice was gripping Bella's hands as Bella was lost in a trance.
"Jasper, what are their feelings right now?" I asked as Bella gasped and Alice whispered something to her.
"Excitement and fear. Alice had a vision before but I think that she needed to confirm it or something with Bella before she told the rest of us." I nodded slowly and nodded as my angel got lost in another vision. Alice began to shake Bella's shoulders and was whispering furiously at her but I still couldn't hear what she was saying over the motor of the boat. Bella looked at Alice with fear wide in her eyes.
"Alice! Alice, they're coming… for me." Bella said, no longer whispering. Her eyes fluttered close and she fell to the ground. Alice caught her on the way down and I threw the boat into auto-pilot and rushed to Bella's side with Jasper following.
"Bella? Love?" I asked, taking her from Alice and cradling her in my arms. "Alice! What did you do to her?" I growled looking up from my loves face. She looked like she was going to cry and I felt guilty yelling at her.
"Edward, I'm sorry! I didn't do anything to her! I promise! She just got a vision and then she told me that they were coming for her and then she passed out." She quickly explained.
"Who's coming?" Jasper asked sitting down next to us.
"I don't know but I think Bella saw who was coming and that made her black out." She told us as she ran and slowed the boat down. She was back in an instant and Bella's eyes began to flutter open. I was still not sure how she could black out as a vampire. I would have to ask Carlisle later. I sighed in relief and looked down into Bella's confused face.
"What happened?" she asked sitting up and brining her hand up to her head.
"Love, you had a vision and then you blacked out. Are you feeling ok now?" I stroked her face with my fingertips.
She took a deep breath and leaned her head on my chest. "Alice, I saw who was coming. I know what's going to happen to me." Alice looked worried and I turned Bella's head towards mine.
"Love, who is coming? What is going to happen?" Alice nodded at Bella and she closed her eyes and concentrated. There was silence for about two minutes before Bella opened her eyes with a gasp.
"They are coming to take me. They only want me and my powers." Bella put her head in her hands and began to cry. I noticed that she cried real tears as one dripped onto my arm.
"How… you have tears?" I asked in disbelief and Alice shook her head in disapproval at me. I made a mental note to ask Carlisle about the tears too. "Bella, no one is going to harm you. I'll protect you. We will all protect you. Nothing will happen to you. I promise." I told her soothingly. I took her hands in mine and kissed her lightly on the lips.
"Who is coming?" Alice asked, taking Bella's hands from mine and grasping them in her own.
"The Volturi, except this time they will have help." She took a shaky breath and we waited for her to continue. "Aro, Jane, Alex, Demetri, and Felix will be there. There will be some others but I didn't recognize them. You will all be fighting one of them and I will be fighting a male with some kind of weakness power. He will make me drowsy and run out of the house with me before anyone notices. Then the Volturi will follow quickly and will hide their scent from you." Bella explained. A growl escaped from my lips. No one was going to take Bella from me.
"No one is going to take you, love." I whispered and Jasper and Alice left us alone together. Bella was still sitting on my lap and Alice was driving the boat with Jasper at her side. I could feel the wind pick up as it whipped my hair around my face. I wiped away Bella's falling tears and kissed her forehead. "I'll protect you. We will always be together. I promise." I told her once again. She seemed to believe me and her tears stopped falling. Bella smiled up at me and closed her eyes as she leaned against my chest.
I would have to tell Carlisle and the rest of my family about this but I didn't want Bella to worry too much now. She needed her rest and we were soon going to be interacting with humans. We had hunted extra earlier today and I hopped that it would be enough. Slowly the boat came to a stop at the cloudy harbor where Bella and I had first left for the island. Bella stood up from my lap and helped me up. There were humans all around on the harbor and I wrapped my arm around her waist securely. It wasn't windy now and I was hoping that Bella wouldn't catch any scents.
"Are you doing ok?" I asked her as we unloaded the luggage into two large cars.
"I can smell the blood and hear it pulsing through their veins but I don't want to drink it. Maybe it's because I just hunted but I have been thinking about each individual human every time that I get an urge to drink their blood. I think about their lives and about their families. I wouldn't want to take that away from them." she told me. I stared at her with an amazed expression on my face. How did I deserve someone like this? She didn't want to drink their blood because of her compassion towards the human and its life. "Besides, I can't imagine that it would taste good at all." She said with a giggle. Bella planted a kiss on my lips and pulled away.
"You truly amaze me." I managed to spit out eventually. She laughed and pulled me over to our family to help get the luggage in the trunks of the cars. Humans had stopped to watch as we pulled large trunks off the boats. Some were thinking about how beautiful we were and I laughed as Jasper and Emmett had to pretend to struggle while carrying Alice's trunk of clothes. Each family member had to pretend to struggle with baggage so that we wouldn't seem suspicious carrying a huge trunk stuffed with clothes alone, without a struggle. Soon the cars were loaded and we piled into them. It was the same arrangement as the boats and Bella and I sat in the front as I drove.
"So how did you manage real tears?" I asked, breaking the silence in the car.
"I guess that it's a human trait that I brought along with me. I don't really know." She admitted with a blush. I smiled and stroked her cheek.
"This speed is absolutely exhilarating." She said laughing as I drove down a highway at about 150 M.P.H. Everyone in the car joined in with her lovely laugh as we agreed with her.
Soon we made it to the airport. We let a few humans unload the cars and we tipped them extra because of the amount of luggage that we had. I kept my arm around Bella's waist securely as we walked to our terminal. Our family circled around Bella just for her safety. Jasper constantly checked her emotions and mood and would tell me every time that she was fine. Alice kept a watch on Bella's future and told me that she wouldn't attack anyone. I loosened my grip around her waist as we all boarded the plane. Each couple took a row to themselves in first class and soon the plane filled. There were three seats in our row and I sat in the outside seat with Bella in the middle seat. A human male walked down the aisle and spotted the seat next to Bella. He was in his early twenties and found Bella extremely attractive. Who wouldn't?
"Do you mind if I sit there? It seems to be the only seat left." He said asking Bella more than me. He said that but thought, 'I want to sit next to her. She gorgeous. I wonder if this is her boyfriend.' I reluctantly stood up and allowed him to pass and sit on the other side of my wife.
Edward, are you hearing this guy's thoughts? She asked with a smile.
Unfortunately yes. Only I am allowed to think those things. Is he making you thirsty or uncomfortable? I asked her.
Edward, no. He's not bothering me at the moment. Are you feeling a bit jealous?
I was actually. I didn't like this man thinking things about my wife. I just smiled back at Bella and listened back into this man's thoughts.
'It's time to make a move.' He thought. Bella looked at me as she tried to stifle a laugh.
"Hey, I'm Jack." He told her, extending his right hand.
"Hi, I'm Bella." She said brightly but she didn't take his hand. She looked down at it and he slowly placed it down on his arm rest. "This is my husband, Edward." She said motioning towards me.
'She's married? I think that that's a bit young. Maybe I could change that…' He thought. I let out a low growl that only Bella could hear and she elbowed me in the ribs.
"Your husband?" he said surprised. She nodded and flashed her ring at him. I wrapped my arm around her shoulders. "How old are you two?" I sighed and Bella looked up at me. I could see the laughter in her eyes as she tried to hide it. I wasn't finding this man as amusing as she was.
"We're eighteen." I decided against giving telling him that I was only seventeen.
He let out a low whistle. "Eighteen. You aren't even in college yet. That's so young to be, you know, tying the knot."
I looked over at Alice who was trying to get my attention. Be careful. I had a vision of you losing it on this man. Please don't. She thought to me. I just nodded and turned back to the man who was rudely staring at Bella. I cleared my throat and he looked up at me.
"Well, Jack, when you find a woman this beautiful that you love, you don't let her go." I explained. Bella kissed me on the lips again before flashing her ring at him. We both listened in on his thoughts as he tried to think of a better way to get to Bella.
"I realize that you love each other, but how did you know that you were the only ones for each other?" he asked thinking that he was the right one for Bella.
"It was just something we knew. Like love at first sight." I winced as I remembered the first thoughts I had had of Bella.
"Oh…" was all he said as I glared at him. I hoped that I looked as terrifying as I could because his thoughts were getting to be rather suggestive. Bella winced and tuned out from his thoughts. I knew this because she sat in peace as I wished that I could do the same.
He shrunk back into his seat and continued to come up with ways to get Bella to talk with him. She must have realized this because she placed her head on my shoulder and pretended to be sleeping. She took deep breathes and was as still as possible. This reminded me of how beautiful she was when she was sleeping. I was going to miss that. The man stopped and got the message after I had spent a full ten minutes glaring at his. The message 'If looks could kill' flashed in my mind.
Eventually the long flight was over and I gently 'woke' Bella up.
"Love, we're home." I said as she opened her eyes. They were still red but they were turning more like mine every day. I kissed her sleepy eyes and helped her stand up. Jack looked wistfully at her as we got off the plane. I had my waist securely around her once more as we made our way to some benches. I decided that it was a good idea to tell Carlisle, now that I had a chance.
"Bella, do you want to tell them your vision?" I asked her and she nodded. Everyone looked at her and she blushed but began to tell them about her vision. Everyone groaned but was serious once she had finished telling everyone what she had seen.
"I think that we should head home, and face what is coming. Does everyone agree?" Carlisle suggested. Emmett looked excited because he always loved a good fight. Everyone else nodded and we started to the car. "Are they there waiting for us right now?" He asked Bella.
"I think so but I can't be positive about that. I only saw when we were fighting them. Alice, do you know?"
"I think that we will have about five minutes to unpack and then ready ourselves before they show up." Carlisle nodded and went back to his deep thoughts. We all drove home in one large car and jumped out as soon as we got to the house. My family grabbed out things and ran them upstairs into our rooms and then met in the foyer.
"Bella?" Carlisle asked. "Do you want to fight this?" I looked down at her determined beautiful face.
"Of course. They are coming for me, and once again this is my fault so I'll help." I was determined to not let anything happen to Bella and to keep her by my side.
I heard the door bell ring and Carlisle opened the door. Everyone tensed as Carlisle said, "Welcome, my friends. Please do come in." We had agreed not to fight them until it was necessary and I took a step in front of Bella as the Volturi and some others stepped into our home.
