"The vampire underworld is much larger than most people could imagine. It exists in all the cities mentioned in the book, but also in many, many more. Teenagers, especially, seem to like to act out vampire fantasies."
James Patterson
Chapter 2: You can do the grove if you can make the MOVE
Bella stood against a brick wall holding her daughter, Renesmee's, hand. She looked onward towards the crowds of people. It was in the evening; therefore their ability to 'sparkle' was not applicable. Edward, walking normal paced came to her from the crowd of people with tickets in his hand.
"I've got ours." He said, giving her a kiss on the cheek then picked up Renesmee, who was now licking a lollipop. As she was only a half-vampire, she could ingest food or blood. In order for the Cullen's to blend in on a busy train station like this one, Renesmee offered her only speck of help she could think of—eating human food.
"Great," Bella said pushing back her hair. "And the rest of them?" She asked looking at Edward.
"On the train already." He said plainly, giving her a smile. "We should go now." Nodding, Bella followed her husband.
The Cullen's original hometown was Folks, Washington. However, now was their time to move on to another city. As they were vampires, they never grew old, and so they had to move every few years. That meant parting people of whom they loved. Bella's father was a priority, but Bella didn't have the courage to say the final good-bye, instead, she sent him mail, never saying where she was, nor leaving any contact information. She imaged his sadden expression reading every letter that she sent, it wounded her to see her father like that, but it would hurt her even more to say goodbye.
Another issue was the Blacks, the group of werewolves that have gone from enemies of vampires to friends all because of Bella. However, this appeared to be less of a problem because Jacob said that he'd be at their destination in no time. 'I can't say away from Nessie.' He argued and that was the end of that. However, the other werewolves would be remaining in Folks.
"Japan!" Alice cried out happily, which brought Bella to attention. "I'm so excited for it! The food's, the dress, oh I can't wait!" She was practically bobbing up and down in her train seat, which earned her some glares at the following travelers.
"Calm down." Edward said, sitting down. Scowling, Alice muttered, "spoil sport", but it appeared Edward didn't notice.
"Why Japan anyway?" Bella asked, sitting beside Edward and allowing Renesmee to crawl up on her knees. Carlisle, reading the paper at the time, lowered it and answered, "Mainly because in Japan anything is possible. We won't draw too much attention, I've heard quite a few stories that sparkling people is the new hot thing in Japan, besides that it's over crowded and people tend to keep to themselves."
"I don't know any Japanese." Bella admitted, however she knew that everyone else did. As never having to sleep, they had to keep themselves busy one way or another.
"Don't worry," Emmett said happily, "You'll have lots of time when we get there."
"Yes, I do hope so." Bella sighed.
The train ride was silent most of the time, it would take a while to get to the coast of the United States, then taking a plane to Madrid, Spain they would be able to fly to China and then to Japan. The whole process would take over ten hours. Unwillingly, Bella pulled out a 'How to learn Japanese' and began her long journey to the Asian world.
It was perhaps the appearance of Alec, of the Volturi waiting for them outside of Madrid, Spain. He was hidden among all the sightseers and Spanish citizen's the Cullen's would not have known him coming, that is, if they didn't have Alice. On the flight to Spain, Alice made the announcement that the Volturi paying them a visit in Spain, adding to the fact it was meant to be somewhat peaceful, the Cullen's relaxed…a bit that it. After hearing the news, Bella held on to Renesmee a bit tighter. She remembered the last encounter with the Volturi was because of their intent of eradicating her. Edward, sensing her concern, tried to calm her down.
"Don't worry, it's probably some greeting or something similar to that." He eyed his daughter and added, "It has nothing to do with her." Feeling a bit better, Bella went back to her reading.
"Alec," Carlisle said in a somewhat cheerful way. "It's good to see you again."
"Thanks." Alec said. "I'm not surprised that you already know," He nodded to Alice as he continued, "but the reason for my visit may not be what you are thinking." He advised them, quickly eyeing Renesmee, whom Bella was holding. "My visit will be short and nothing else."
"Go on," Carlisle said.
"I heard you were moving to Japan.' Alec told them. This all took them by surprise. Esme assured him that they were and he pulled out a piece of paper.
"This is from the 3." He said and they knew—Ado, Canius and Marcus. What could they want now? Alec nodded at them and wished them luck and then, he was gone.
"What does it say?" Rosalie asked, looking over the shoulder of Carlisle who was reading it.
"They've provoked war with our distant cousins." He said outraged. "Why on earth would they want to do that?" Bella looked worried. What did this mean?
"What cousins?" She asked. Everyone looked at her for a moment and then Alice came over.
"Sorry Bella, we keep forgetting you don't know this stuff." She smiled and continued. "Our cousins live in Japan, well they lived all around the world at one point I think, but the Volturi pushed them into Asia in the early 1800's and then to the isolated island of Japan in the middle 1900's. So far they have made no complaint; they keep themselves to themselves as you might say. They call themselves Vampire Knight, saying that they are the true survivors of the vampire race and they will protect their race with their lives."
"But now they want war?" Jaspar asked. "Why?"
"No, I don't think they wish to do so," Carlisle said, folding the paper and burning it. When he received puzzled looks he simply said, "For the past few years now, the Volturi have been making their opinions…shall we say public." He said carefully, gasping all of their attention. Pausing for a second, he continued. "They have been enforcing the idea that our kind of vampires are more likely to survive as the human world seems to ever been expanding and their kind, which cannot stand the dark, and have heavenly powers draw too much attention and will likely be the cause of their erase I the world." As Alice opened her mouth to protest, Carlisle held up a hand and continued. "They too have recently made some protests saying that we sparkle in the sun and that too is just a bad as being hurt by the sun. As well, some of our kind has super natural powers, such as Edward, Bella, Renesmee, Alice and Jaspar." He stated. "Really, it the battle between one kind."
"But why can't we just live in harmony?" Alice asked. "I mean," She looked around everyone. "We never encountered them and I don't they wish to encounter us." The group around them murmured some agreement; however Carlisle's face still remained dark.
"What's wrong?" Edward asked Carlisle from his 'mind-reading' abilities.
"We can't live in harmony anymore." Shock, Bella asked why. Carlisle shook his head.
"Any hope for negotiations have been erased. The Volturi have made their decision and have made it apparent to the other vampire race that a war is inevitable."
"What?" Esme said outraged.
"How?" Rosaline spoke softly, yet still some panic hovered in her voice.
"The Volturi have made their move. They killed one of the Vampire Knights." Silence followed after this statement. Alice slamped her mouth as Jaspar put his hand on her shoulder as if to give her some strength.
"This is horrible." Bella said, then wished she didn't as it was kind of obvious.
"SO what do we do now?" Edward asked, yet Bella thought he knew the answer, based off of the grim look on his face.
"When we arrive in Japan. Stay alert. By no doubt there will be the Vampire Knights watching closely at our every move. They're smart, but not stupid. They won't attack when there is other people around. They will try to separate us, or force us into the wilderness. Whatever happens, stick together." Carlisle warned then he sighed. "My only hope is that the Volturi arrive in Japan by that time and there will be little bloodshed as possible."
Bella nodded along with everyone else. Yes, all they could do was hope.
