She watched his hands dance across the keys, creating beautiful music that she hadn't heard yet. It was new and alluring: it was like him. He looked up a few times, to see what her reaction was, and the entire time she was in awe, the way his fingers moved across the keys of the piano. It was perfect. He was perfect.
"What did you name that piece?" She asked Edward once he had finished and was now turned to look at her.
"I haven't named it yet, I just went on whim," he whispered and she smiled.
"It was beautiful." She said, then got up to stretch. She was encircled in two arms and she leaned back into the cold, stone-like chest of this vampire. This vampire she was slowly, impossibly, falling for.
"What are you thinking about?" He murmured against her hair. It was halfway through the day, noon, and she had just woken up a couple hours earlier.
"Nothing, just thinking," she said, turning her head to smile at him. Something flashed in Edward's eyes, but it was gone the moment she noticed it.
"What's wrong?" She asked, turning around in his arms, so they were facing each other, and cupped his face in her hands.
"I'm worried, about the Volturi. Alice hasn't seen them, and I don't know when they'll come and from where," he said, leaning his face into her touch, placing a butterfly-like kiss on her palm, he closed his eyes in torment.
"Edward, listen to me. This isn't your problem to worry about. If they end up taking me, they take me, but it wont be forever. I've been alive for a while, I know how to talk to Aro, and get out of things when it comes to the Volturi," she told him, placing a kiss on each of his cheeks, eyelids, then his lips.
"But-"
"Shut up and kiss me," she whispered and he obeyed, folding her into his arms just as easily as if she were a child.
A couple hours later of talking and getting comfortable, Alice walked into the room, trying not to look concerned or worried, but it shone in her eyes.
"What is it Alice?" Hanna asked and her eyes shot to Edward's, which were wide and full of fear.
"The Volturi will be here tomorrow," her voice rang out in the open room and Hanna's heart almost stopped. She didn't know how afraid she really was, until now. How afraid of those vampires, and how afraid of the possibility of leaving. She squeezed Edward's hand.
"Alright then. Thank you Alice," Hanna said with a smile and strode over, taking the small girl into her arms in a hug. Alice returned it.
She turned to Edward, when she was between the two of them. She had a grim smile on her face.
"I'm just going to go out for a bit, kay? I'll be back," she said, then disappeared from the room. She was across the world in a matter of seconds, in the Arctic somewhere, but it was freezing cold and numbing, the hot tears that rolled from her eyes froze the moment the air hit them. She would have to hope that Aro did not want to touch any of the Cullens. She was so entangled in their lives lately, that if he touched any of them, he'd know instantly that she was back and was involved with the Cullens. He would use them against her, to drag her back, for their own selfish needs.
She sank into the snow and her body began to shake terribly at the cold, she'd have to leave soon or she'd pass out from the cold.
She wouldn't let the Volturi harm the Cullens' though, if the danger arose, she would kill whoever tried to rise it, without a second thought.
