Chapter 5:They
"So how long will it take us to get to Barcelona?" I asked my fiancé.
Bella's POV
"Well if we are quick a few days, but I see no reason to hurry." My love replied
"Edward you know that Carlisle wants to be in Barcelona as fast as possible, what if they found out about Bella before we told them?" Alice said warningly.
"Who is they?" I asked, as I got between the siblings who looked like they were going to get into a fight.
"Thank you Alice. Bella darling I didn't want you to worry, but they are the reason that we are going to Barcelona." Edward said. "Could you give us a moment alone please?"
As soon as everyone was gone I asked "What is the matter, who the hell is they?"
"Isabella you really shouldn't be talking like that, you are a princess for goodness sakes." Edward laughed lightly. "Okay, they called the Volturi."
"Volturi? Sounds a lot like Volterra." I replied remembering my mother's home town.
"That is where they used to live; you see the Roman Emperor Nero was a werewolf, he and his pack waged a secret war on all vampires. Now the leader of the Volturi, Aro, is no dumb man. He had his coven moved over to the town of Barcelona. They have been there ever since."
"Emperor Nero was a crazed man? He killed so many." I replied. It made no sense.
"Well yes, sometimes if a werewolf is not careful the beast can take over. Just think about that Jacob." Edward replied. I did not want to hear about Jacob right now.
"Get out please, Edward" I said calmly.
"Bells I didn't mean… I'm sorry." He whispered.
"I know, its okay, I just need to think please." I looked up into his gorgeous eyes and smiled "I'm not going anywhere I promise." I stood on my tiptoes and kissed him deeply.
After he left I sat on the bed while images of my past played in front of my eyes.
When I was twelve I nearly fell down the stairs, by nearly I mean I fell down two steps before Jacob caught me. I was trying to walk in my new high heels mother had given me and well it was not pretty.
Jacob's POV
Samuel had decided that we would walk on foot till we made it to a safe place to transform. I have grown to see each of these men as my brothers.
"Jacob?" Quil asked as we walked northwards.
"Yes" I replied, Quil was defiantly the youngest of us mentally.
"Um have you ever stopped to consider if that Vampire you are after changed your Isabella?" Quil asked looking at the ground.
"No I haven't, I just can't believe that my Bella is a vampire. Even if it is not the truth, believing that she is dead is a lot easier for me. Until I know for sure, she is dead… you know Isabella and I were the best of friends when we were little. She was an accident waiting to happen if you get my meaning. She fell off horses, lost her balance in heels, one time she almost fell down the stairs. She was something, the perfect woman. You know we could have ended up together if that French prince hadn't "Killed" me, if she had never met that vampire. I wonder would it be better if I had never found her." I was talking to myself more than to anyone else.
"Your Isabella might have been the perfect princess, but my Esme was the perfect woman. She was beautiful, still is, but I can't love her. I must hate her for now she is with the ranks of the undead. I will kill her when I see her again." Samuel replied, he looked like he was not used to talking like this.
"Is this is what it means to be a werewolf? To lose the one you love to a vampire?" I asked.
"I guess when you are a werewolf love is forbidden." Quill added.
What do you think? i wanted to give the cullens a reason to go to Barcelona,.
