Chapter 5

I started to wake up slowly. I still felt weak, but my strength was coming back quickly. All I would need is a big hunt with Carlie afterwards.

I started to try to open my eyes. "Hey, I think she's starting to wake up. Go get her father, Jane, please," Carlisle said. Wow, he was finally getting into doctor mode. I tried to open my eyes again and this time they fluttered and I saw more of the room. "Is my daughter awake yet?" Father asked, he must have just come into the room.

I fluttered my eyes again, and found I could open my eyes all the way. I tried to sit up, but Carlisle made me lie back down again. "Ugh, what happened?" I asked, rather groggily. "You passed out from using your abilities too much. You needed to hunt, but in your state you couldn't, so we brought the blood to you." They looked guilty, so I peeked into his mind. I let out a shriek. "WHAT! I thought I told you I never wanted to go back to the traditional diet; you could have just given me animal blood!" "Without normal blood we had no idea whether you would wake up or not. Human blood was one way to make sure you were strong," Carlisle said. Damn, can't ignore doctor's advice...

I sighed, and said, "Fine, I forgive you..." My father came running up to me, and pulled me into a bone crushing hug. "Cant... Breathe..." Marcus let go and I dropped onto my bed. "Ti voglio bene padre, (Italian translation: I love you father)" I said. "Ti voglio bene anch'io figlia," (Italian translation: I love you too daughter) Marcus said back. "Aww..." Carlie said, ruining the moment. "Way to ruin the moment," I snorted. "Well, I'm just happy you're awake. You have no idea what Marcus has been like for the past two days," Carlisle said seriously. "I've been out two days?" I shrieked. "Yes, but you seem fine now, your body just needed time to gain energy again and heal," Marcus soothed me. That then reminded me. "Father, I had a dream, though it seemed more like a vision. Mother – this was Marcus's mate Didyme, Carlisle – came to me and spoke to me!"

Dream/Vision

It was blank, just white wherever I looked.

"Hello? Is anybody there?" I said.

"Isabella," a voice answered. I then realised who it was.

"Mother!"

"Now, Isabella, I am here to warn you," she said.

"Why? What is it that's so important?"

"Isabella, you mustn't use your powers so much. It drains your own life force, today was proof of that."

"I know, and I don't want it to happen again. It's scary here, and Father and Carlisle will be worried."

"Hmm... about that..." Mother seemed in thought.

"What?" I said, instantly worried.

"You're getting close to Carlisle Cullen, I've seen the visions you've had, and I worry. Seeing that you have to say goodbye to a second father figure, for he will be here for roughly 200 years. I worry that it will hurt you," Mother's voice broke at the end from the pain.

"Mother, I will be fine. The visions are a gift; they give me time to prepare."

"Fine. I trust you, my little one. You are wise beyond your years. I have one more thing to say to you before I leave-"

"No! You can't leave me!"

"I have to, but I will return soon. Now remember my words:

Anger brings great power but comes with a price,

Hold on too long and it will consume you.

"Now, I must go, my dearest Isabella. Tell Marcus that I love him and I miss you both."

"Goodbye Mother," I whispered.

"Goodbye Isabella," Mother whispered before fading into the white around us.

End of Dream/Vision

After I told Marcus and Carlisle about the dream/vision, they sat at the bottom of my bed astounded. They thought that as vampires have lost their souls, though mainly Marcus, Carlisle believed strongly in God. "She really came to you? Really told you that she still loves me, that she misses us?" "Yes, father, now stop doubting me, and let's go show everyone that I'm okay.

We arrived at the throne room and let Marcus go in first.

"Marcus, my brother, is Isabella alright?" Aro asked concern colouring his voice. I stifled a giggle from outside the throne room. "Yes, Aro, she's fine." Hmph. "Father! Why aren't you playing along?" I said as I stormed into the throne room towards Marcus, Carlisle in tow. "Because, tesorio mio (Italian translation: my darling), your safety and health is not something I like to joke about," Marcus said. I just rolled my eyes.

"Carlie, can we go to my garden now? I've had to wait for two days now!" "Of course, Isabella. Whatever you want," Carlisle promised.

When we arrived in my garden, I immediately went and picked up my violin and started playing. "You have a natural talent, Isabella," Carlisle said when I finished my song. "Thank you. When I play I feel Mother's presence with me." "You know, you haven't played with anyone besides me since I've been here. Shouldn't you play with Jane? Felix?" Carlisle asked. "Well, how about we play dress up with Felix, Carlie?" He now seemed embarrassed. If he could blush I'm sure he would be. "Let's go!" I said as I was suddenly excited.

I dragged Carlisle along the dark corridors to where Felix would be. I knew he would be in the games room, he always was.

Felix was wrestling with Demetri, even better! They didn't seem to have noticed us enter. Just then Felix pinned down Demetri. "Ha! I win!" I decided to make our presence known. "Hey guys!" I shouted. They jumped up in shock and crouched down to attack till they saw who it was that caught them off guard. "Sorry, Isabella. You scared us... again," Felix admitted. "Well, I want o play a game." They groaned, knowing what my games were like. They didn't seem to budge, so time for the big guns – the puppy dog eyes. "Pwease? Pretty Pwease?" I could see them starting to crack. Quiver the lip... "Fine! We'll play!" Demetri said. "Yay!" I said, clapping my hands happily.

A few minutes later Felix, Demetri and Carlisle were dressed up thanks to Jane and Heidi, who were on their way to paint what they saw with their photographic memory. (A/N – Photos not invented yet.)

We were walking, or rather skipping, down the corridors, Carlisle enjoying the dress up a bit too much. He was singing! "La la, la la la..." Of course this ended when Aro, Caius and Marcus were going the other way towards the throne room and bumped into us, making us all fall over. "And we all fall down!" I giggled. My high pitched laughter echoed through the otherwise empty hall. "Mind if I ask what you are doing, Isabella, with two of my best guards and our dear friend Carlisle, who are dressed up like ladies?" Aro said carefully, clearly spooked. I giggled again. "We were playing dress up. Carlisle said I was spending too much time with him, and that I should play with someone else. So I said I'll play with him and Felix and dragged him to these two, because Demetri was wrestling with him, a bonus! I dressed them all up with Jane and Heidi's help!" I said in a rush. "Well, Felix, Demetri, go change. You are wanted in the throne room in a second. Carlisle, change as well, but you can choose to be with us or start your studies. Isabella, throne room, robe on please," Aro ordered.

We all went our separate ways, ready for duty, like always.

Well? Next chapter, Carlisle leaves the Volturi!
