Previously…

I pointed to myself and said, "Principessa," quietly. They ran to me and gave me a shocked look.

"We must be leaving now," Alec said. He picked me up bridal style and walked out the door with Jane trailing behind. Jane immediately pulled her phone out and started testing Nessie, I assume. Alec walked to his car and put me in the passenger seat. He went to the driver's spot and took off in the car. Jane followed us in her car.

"Alice is following us in your car," Alec said quietly. I nodded and looked out the window. I started silently crying my tearless cries, shaking in fear. I willed myself to sleep once more, not wanting to be bothered at all. I did not want to be a princess.

Bella P.O.V.

I woke with a jolt. Alice was hovering over my face. I pushed her face away and sat up. I looked around to see my kitchen. Ahh, home sweet home, I thought.

"Bella?" I heard Ness call.

"Over here Ness!" I said. Nessie ran to me and hugged me tightly. "Did they tell you?"

"Yeah. I can't believe it. We will have to go back."

"I know baby, I don't want to."

"What about Jake? Do you think I can stay here?"

"Most likely Nessie. I hope that you do get to stay. It's not your responsibility to go back and stay. It's mine."

"What about the twins?"

"As part of the guard, maybe. I honestly don't know."

"I hate this. If I get to stay, I'll come back whenever I have the chance to see you and Charlie."

"Okay baby, but you don't have to."

"I know mom."

"Okay, what is happening? I do not understand what you are talking about. Someone please tell what's going on," Alice said very confused. I laughed a bit and nodded for Nessie to tell her.

"Well Alice, you are looking at the first princess of Volterra. Isabella Marie Swan-Volturi is going to be crowned princess shortly. She has to leave to Volterra ASAP. Aro will be furious if she doesn't," Nessie said.

"Well, I don't have to leave as soon as possible… But, I believe it's best for everyone if I leave soon," I said with a soft sigh.

"Holy mother of-! Anywho, congratulations! I can't believe it. You're a princess. But you can't just leave! I mean, there's everyone here. When are you leaving?" Alice asked sadly.

"I plan for leaving tomorrow. I dunno. There's just so much planning to do for it all like what dress will I wear, what entertainment…"

"I'm going to miss you so…. Idea! What if I come with you? I'm a great party planner and I can design your dress!"

"I know you just saw it, so yes!" I said happily, "But what about your family?"

"They come too. And we stay in Volterra until you're crowning is over. I'm going to call them right now and tell them that Aro needs us in Volterra," Alice said, taking her cell phone out.

"But, Aro-."

"Call him. Demand that as princess, the Cullens will come there and stay until after you're crowning. It will work."

I grinned. Everything was going to be okay, I mean, right?

OoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooO

I was standing in the Cullen's living room. Once they heard what Alice said, they wanted us to head over there.

"So what you're saying is that you will be crowned princess soon? And that Alice is going to design your dress and that she wants everyone to come to Volterra with all of you?" Carlisle asked.

"Yes. I am going to be crowned soon. Alice will design my dress. Yes, Alice, and also I, want you all to come to Volterra also. We want you to stay until after I am crowned. And now, I'm asking if you will come and stay in Volterra," I said nervously

"I want to come! Rosalie, will you come along too?" Emmett asked excitedly.

"Yes, I do want to go to Volterra. I do want to help with planning for your crowning, if you will let me. Will you?" Rosalie asked. I nodded with a smile. I looked around to the others, trying to gauge their reaction. Carlisle and Esme looked at each other. Edward was staring intently at me. Jasper was smiling at Alice.

"I will go, to be with my darlin'," Jasper said. Alice gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"I will go. I love Bella as a daughter. I will not miss her crowning. Carlisle will go as well," Esme said. I walked to Esme and Carlisle and gave them a hug.

"Thank you. Now, Edward, what is your choice?" I asked. Are you going to come with us, or leave me again, you stupid idiot, I projected to his mind. Edward jumped, shocked at what he heard. I pretended like I didn't do anything and tapped into his thoughts. What the heck was that? I know I shouldn't leave her, but I know she won't ever take me back, Edward thought with a glum expression.

"I'm going to…go with all of you," Edward said. Alice clapped excitedly. I suppressed a smile. My mind was cloudy, filled with questions about what Edward thought.

"Alright. Pack your bags! We leave tomorrow morning." I walked to the door when Edward appeared by me.

"Can I talk to you for a second?" Edward asked.

"Sure, what do you need?" I responded.

"Is there any chance that you know how to remove your shield?"

Nervously, I said, "Yes, but it takes a lot of my energy. I rarely take my shield down." Deep down, I knew that I shouldn't lie. I mean, hello, greatest vampire of all! It barely takes any energy out of me to let down my shield.

"Did you remove your shield while I was deciding?"

"I don't think so. Well, sometimes I can't control it. But, I felt no change in my energy level… Why are you asking me this?" Okay, that was half true.

"Oh. Okay, nothing."

"You're lying to me. Do not lie to me again," I said frowning, remembering that day…

"Sorry… Well, it's because I heard someone think, 'Are you going to come with us, or leave me again, you stupid idiot'. It sounded like it could be you."

"Oh, well then. Did it sound like this?" I projected the same thought to him.

Edward flinched and said, "It was you! But how? You just said…"

"I lied. Barely takes any energy nowadays. So, now we are almost even. This isn't as big as a lie as you told me. Stupid idiot." I walked away to my car.

"Before I left, I heard Edward ask, "Alice, am I an idiot?"

"Yes," Alice responded. I howled with laughter as I drove off.

OoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooO

After packing all the essential stuff we brought (our clothes, shoes, jewelry, bags, etc.), I decided to have a bit of fun. Once everyone was out, we made sure to load everything in a plane for Volterra. Our stuff would be flown there first. Another plane would take us to Volterra.

Anywho, everyone was with me, in front of the house. I used my power and burned down the house.

"Burn baby, burn!" Alec started singing. We laughed in harmony was the house turned to ashes. The fire vanished and all that was left were the remains of the house, which was only ash.

"Let's leave. It's too depressing now," Jane said with disgust. We all nodded and started to run to the Cullen's house. Our cars were being shipped, so we had to travel on foot.

We arrived at the Cullen's residence to see luggage all over the place. We walked in to see a family discussion taking place.

"Say we died!" Emmett said.

"No, say we all enlisted into the army," Jasper said with a grin.

"How about we just say we moved?" Esme said.

"Thank you! Finally, a decent idea," Edward exclaimed.

"But, the house. They'll notice the furniture," Rosalie said.

"No one will pass through here. No humans or vampires. Only nature," Alice said.

"So then it's settled. But where would we have moved?" Carlisle asked.

"Say Iceland. No once checks there," I suggested.

"I like that idea. I second it!" Emmett said with a childish grin.

"I third it," Jasper said.

"I fourth," Rosalie said.

"I fifth," Esme said smiling.

"I agree," Alice said.

"So be it," Edward said.

"Okay then. We all moved to Iceland," Carlisle said, clapping his hands, "No everyone packed the essentials? Only what you need to survive in Italy…"

"What?" Alice asked, "Stop looking at me dad!"

"C'mon Alice! You were going to bring all of your possessions to Italy," Edward said with a laugh.

"Whatever Edward! What if they don't have a piano, huh?"

"No! They don't? Carlisle, I must bring my piano," Edward said frowning.

"I'm sure Alice was kidding, right Bella?" Carlisle said wearily.

"Uh… Right, we do have a piano," I said. In my room, I said publicly.

"Right well, everyone, get to working," Esme said. Everyone left to their rooms, except for Edward. He slowly walked closer to me. Once he stopped, his face was next to my ear.

"I guess I'll just have to find a way to get to your room then," Edward said, too quietly for anyone but me to hear. Hmm, I'm not sure. You may have to…persuade me to get in, I thought. I was flirting shamelessly.

"Or maybe… I could sneak into your room during the middle of the night. Then I can work my magic on the piano, playing Claire de Lune and… Bella's Lullaby." Ooh, sneaking in? Maybe you're just going to watch me as I sleep?, I thought. I laughed with a grin.

"Ha,no… I may. Sometimes it's just a force of habit," Edward said with a shrug and sheepish grin. I walked back and smiled. Then, I did something unexpected. I ran my fingers through his hair. It was still as soft as ever. He closed his eyes and smiled. I played with his hair. Then, I realized what I was doing and abruptly stopped.

"Sorry, bye," I said while running out the house in embarrassment.

Yay! A chapter!
