Chapter 11: My angel, back in my arms.
Edward POV
Finally, I was here, at the Volturi, here to bring Bella back to me.
"Argh, Edward, what a lovely surprise" Aro said as he come out of the room the woman just went into.
He held out his hand, and without thinking I took.
After a minute, he looked back up at me.
"Edward, step in here for a minute" Aro told me as he stretched his arm out, pointing to a door.
I entered silently.
He closed the door and turned to me.
"So, you are here to take my Bella away from me" Aro said, looking at me.
"I love her" I replied simply.
"I know Edward, but I wish for her not to go. So… you will leave here, without Bella, and she will not know that you came. Understood?"
Can he be serious? He knows how much I love Bella, and still he stands there trying to stop me.
"Edward, I am asking you to leave" Aro said, authority dripping off his words.
"And what if I said I didn't want to leave"
"Then I would tell you that you don't have a choice"
"I am not leaving until I see Bella" I said, and I wasn't, no matter what.
"Jane" Aro called.
The pain was unbearable, this time lasting a couple of minutes, before it disappeared.
"What is your problem?" My angel asked. She came over to me and lifted my head, placing it onto her lap.
"Bella" Aro said innocently.
"Wasn't it you who said that the Volturi was family? I don't think my family would hurt the person I loved" She said, vibrating with rage.
"But Bella…" Aro started.
"No Aro" Bella interrupted, "I wanted a family, a family who loved me for who I am, not for what you thought of me. I had that family, and now, I am returning to it" Bella said.
What was she saying?
"What?" Aro asked.
"I wish to leave the Volturi, to go live with the Cullen's, my family. Oh, if that's ok with you" she asked, turning to me, smiling.
What? Was that a trick question?
"Of course you can come back" I said.
My angel, back in my arms.
