Bonjour! I'm sorry that it took me so long to update. I had loads of homework, five tests and two projects due. And to make things worse I hadn't started on anything yet. Well at least its all done now. I know the next few chapters are going to be short so sorry.

Chapter 8

(Bella POV)

I laid on my bed. I know it was totally unnecessary to have one but it was comfortable. I was thinking about what things I had done in my vampire life when I heard a knock on my door.

" Come in" I said.

The door opened and who came in was the most beautiful person I had ever known. Edward. He looked at me with love in his eyes. I guessed I was forgiven.

" Edward, am I forgiven?" I said.

" Of course you are. I could never hold a grudge on the one and only person I've ever loved." he said in his velvet voice.

I ran toward him and hugged him. At first he was startled but then he embraced me back. We stayed like that for a long time. I pulled away and looked at his face.

" I love you" I whispered softly. Then I leaned in and kiss him. He kissed me back with lots of passion. The kiss lasted for about two minutes before I heard Ashley.

Bella!!" she screamed frantically. " Bella where are you?!"

" I'm up here"

In a second, she was at my door. She looked really panicked over something.

" Bella, I need to speak to you. Alone."

" Hey, whatever you can say to her you can say to me" Edward said. Ashley looked at me. I nodded.

" The Volturi called" Ashley began. I felt Edward stiffen beside me. " They wanted us to do them a favor. To kill the Cullens. Of course I said no. So they said they would do it themselves. And I mean themselves. Aro, Marcus and Caius are coming to kill his family" she said as she pointed to Edward.

" No! We have to prepare our selves."

" I called the Beauforts. They are going to leave the Volturi to come and join us." ( Beaufort means beautiful and strong in French.)

" Who are the Beauforts?" Edward asked. He has a look of frustration on his face because he can't read our minds. ( Edward can't read the Beauforts mind because they learned how to block their minds so their thoughts are a complete silence)

" They are the army I trained. I used to be their leader. Ashley was one of them." I tell him. He has shock written all over his gorgeous face.

" You used to lead an army?' he asked me.

" Yes. They are like the best army the Vulturi have ever had"

" Why are they going to help us?"

" Because we all love and respect our leader, which is Bella." Ashley says. " Whenever one of us needs help we are right there for them. Even if that means betraying the Vulturi."

" Where are they right now Ashley?" I ask her.

" Give me a minute" she responds. She closes her eyes and begins to concentrate.

" What is she doing?" Edward asks me. I quickly tell him about her power. When I finish he looks impressed.

" So she is better than a tracker?"

" Yeah. She beat all the other vampire trackers the Volturi had."

" Bella, they are in Port Angeles right now. They will be here in about five minutes"

" Five minutes?! Are they driving at 300 mph?!" Edward exclaims. ( Sorry I don't know anything about cars so I picked a high number)

" Yeah." Ashley says. " We all like to drive slow, except Bella"

" Slow? That's faster than me! Bella, at what speed do you drive?"

" About 450 mph." I answer.

" You drive fast? I thought you hated speed."

" Things change you know"

" Remind me to never speed race you." he says.

" They're here!" Ashley says in a song voice.
