I don't own Twilight!

Chapter 20

- - - I don't know how long the drive was but the next thing I knew was that we were getting on a plane. I saw the sky go black then go bright once more. When we got out of the plane I knew that we were back in Washington. We got in another car and it droves to the nearest hospital.

Luna was taken away quickly and Raven was let it. A nurse came up to me and told me to follow her and Rika came along with me. The nurse checked me over and asked me if anything hurt. After answering all of her questions she left the room. I turned to Rika who had taken a seat in a plastic chair but I wish I hadn't.

"Maribella-chan, what were you doing all the way in Italy?"

I looked away thinking of what I was going to tell her. "My…ah ex-boyfriend ran away and was going to hurt himself. His sister came to take me to him to talk him out of it" I was hoping she buy it. After I heard her 'oh' come from her I let out a deep breath.

"I was worried cause Luna can't go out of the country or state. If she does Raven-nee gets notified and then she goes and looks for her. It's really easy since Luna's cell phone has a GPS device in it"

"Why can't see leave the state or country?" I asked not understanding

"Because it was part of a deal she made with the police otherwise she would serve a year in jail and Raven was named her care taker. Logan-san doesn't know, so don't tell him"

I nodded agreeing and understanding. The nurse came back and led us to the room were Luna was placed in. Raven was sitting in the bed talking to her. Rika and I lingered at the entrance.

"I remember my family Raven, I remember everything before the accident" whispered Luna

Raven took her hand. "Do you remember anything from the accident itself?"

Luna hesitated and looked up to meet us. "Marie, Rika…"

Rika rushed over and gave Luna a hug. I slowly walked over and sat in a plastic chair near Luna. Neither of us said a thing and after a while she fell asleep. Rika placed her head at the end of the bed and fell asleep. It was just me and Raven which at the moment was not comfortable.

"Isabella what happened?" asked Raven taking a seat in front of me

I hesitated before answering the same thing that I told Rika. She squinted her eyes at me like she didn't believe me but she didn't question me about it. Instead she asked me about Luna.

"I really don't know what happened to her she just started yelling and collapsed on me"

"She had a mental breakdown. Something must have triggered it because now she can remember everything before the death of her mother. Do you know what triggered it?"

I shook my head. I didn't want to speak any more. After all I was a terrible liar and I knew that if this conversation kept going on I would just end up telling her the truth. I stood up when I felt my cell phone vibrate in my pocket. I took it out but it was soaked. All I could get out from it was that it was Charlie who was calling.

"Who is it?" asked Raven

"Its my dad but I can't hear I thing. My cell phone got wet"

Raven got out her cell phone and dialed Charlie's number without asking it from me. She waited and called again when all she got was a busy number.

"Yes, Charlie. This is Raven I am here with Isabella and Luna…" Raven paused and began speaking again "Ah Logan, yes it is me. Isabella and Luna were to meet with Rika and I but while here in Seattle she had a mental breakdown. She is fine. We are in a hospital at the moment. It is not necessary for you to come. As soon as Luna is discharged we will head immediately back to Forks"

It dawned on me that Raven was an excellent liar. She didn't have to think about what she was supposed to say like I had to. She told Uncle Logan that I was fine just in a bit of a shock after seeing Luna. After hanging up she turned to me.

"Was there anything else you wanted to add?"

"No but thanks. I wouldn't know what else to say to Charlie if I had told him the truth"

She nodded. "Let's just leave this behind us. Luna won't speak of this like she always does"

I agreed. Raven woke Rika up and told us to head to their home. Hopefully what Raven said was true, that Luna would not speak a single word about she saw and heard in Volterra.

O-o-O

When I woke up Raven and Luna were already in the dinning room table eating breakfast. Raven asked me to sit down while she asked a maid to go and wake Rika up. I looked at Luna but it seemed like she was more interested in eating than anything else.

"We are leaving back to Forks as soon as every one is ready" said Raven

I saw Luna nod and Rika say okay in her native language. We all ate silently which I found it weird but then again I assumed that Rika was not a morning person. Luna got up and excused herself from the table. I saw her leave the room and run afterwards.

"Luna-nee must be happy cause she's going to see her dad" said Rika

Raven agreed. "It seems so. Her memories have returned it is normal"

After finishing my breakfast I excused myself from the table and went upstairs to take a shower. I really wanted to go back to Forks as well. I wondered if Edward and the Cullen's were back or if I was just not going to see them ever again.

I got out of the bathroom in a bathrobe since my clothes where not washed yet. I heard a knock and a head popped in.

"Marie you need clothes?" asked Luna

"Uh…yeah"

She motioned for me to follow her and I did. She lead me to the same room where all the dresses were last time I came. But now the room had racks of normal clothes.

"Look around for something to wear" said Luna as she pulled out a shirt and jeans from a rack

I pulled a long sleeve shirt and some jeans as well. When I came out from changing Luna was already out and looking for something else. She pulled out a jacket and a pair of snow boots.

"Get warm, it's snowing outside" said Luna smiling

I froze when I saw her smiling and lost my balance and fell to the floor. Luna laughed and held a hand out for me to take. After getting up she handed me the same style of boots she was wearing. I took a jacket and we headed out. A maid came to me and gave me a bag, it had my clothes inside. I thanked her before we went down stairs.

Raven and Rika were waiting for us. We got inside this giant dark blue truck. The driver helped me get inside. Rika hopped inside wriggling when only half of her body made it in. I chuckled as I took her hands and Luna push her in. Once we were all inside the driver took off.

- - - The ride back to Forks took twice the time it would have taken. The driver was being careful not to crash or to swerve off his lane. The heater was on and we all fell asleep with the exception of Raven who was clicking away in her cell phone with angry expression on her face.

We all woke up when the truck started moving from side to side. Rika yelped when her head collided with Luna's. I hissed when mine hit the car window. Raven was not pleased either. There was snow build up which was causing the truck trouble passing over it.

I was glad when I got off that the truck but soon regretted it the cold air hit me. I saw Uncle Logan rush out as did Charlie and Jacob with Seth. I saw Luna get off the truck and rush over to Uncle Logan. She hugged him and I saw tears running down her face. Yet again I was amazed, Luna was showing so much emotions that had been foreign to her. I saw her whisper something to Uncle Logan that got him to hugger her tighter and shed a few tears.

"Luna what happened?" asked Jacob once he was standing in front of me

"I will explain everything later" I whispered to him hoping he would get the hint

Jacob nodded and gave me a hug before turning to the others. Rika and Raven greeted Uncle Logan and presented themselves to Charlie. We all went inside the house. When Uncle Logan asked her how it was that she remembered everything, she said that she didn't know how.

It seemed that no one cared. They were just glad that we were okay. I knew it would have been different if Charlie and Uncle Logan knew that we had gone to Italy to save Edward. Every one was hungry, apparently they had lost their appetite during the time we were gone. I said I would fix dinner for all of us, Rika and Luna volunteered to help but Luna was held back by Uncle Logan. Jacob and Seth came to join us instead.

"Kon·nichi wa I'm Rika, Luna and Maribella's friend" said Rika waving at both Jacob and Seth

Jake looked confused and I told him that Rika called me by my first and middle name. "I'm Jacob"

Jake and I turned to Seth waiting for him to present himself but he had this weird look on his face. Like he was seeing the sun for the first time. Rika waved a hand in front of his face but didn't even blink.

"Ne, is something wrong with him?" asked Rika as she looked at me and Jacob

I turned to Jake and he had this look like something had caught him by surprise. Yet when he grabbed Seth he looked annoyed. "We have to go, it seems Seth is sick"

"Wait Jake!" I grabbed him and whispered in his ear "Meet me after every one has gone to sleep in the backyard. We need to talk"

Jake gave me a nod but looked worried as he left with Seth. I turned back to Rika who had her head sideways with her index finger on her cheek.

"That was weird huh?"

I nodded and we started in dinner.

- - - Every one seemed happy. I guess it was because the holidays were around the corner. But I couldn't tell if Luna was acting like she was happy. I would catch her staring at her food in a daze then she would go back to eating.

I felt out of place. We had almost died just a day ago and no one had an idea. I kept looking around the table. I felt more like I was watching a movie than having dinner. I watch each one go their separate ways when we all decided it was time to sleep. Uncle Logan slept in the living room. Rika in a sleeping bag on the floor even when I told her she could take my bed but she denied. Raven had also a sleeping bag but she sat next to Luna.

"You can have my bed Raven, I can sleep with Rika"

Raven shook her head. "No, you need rest. Sleep, I'll be here when you wake up"

I saw Luna nod and placed the sheets over herself. Raven turned off the lights. I waited about two hours before I crept out of my bed. I was fully clothed. I took a jacket and boots as I got out of the room. I placed them on before I reached the backyard. There was Jake waiting for me.

"Aren't you cold Jake?" I asked him

"No, so what do you want to talk about?"

I sat me down on the stairs behind the house. "Just don't yell or anything otherwise you'll wake everyone up."

Jake nodded. "I wanted to tell you the truth. Luna didn't just have a mental breakdown, it was my fault."

Jake looked confused. "How is it your fault?"

"Alice Cullen came looking for me two days ago. She had a vision about Edward. He was going to go get himself killed. I had to go save him Jake and Luna came along not wanting to leave me alone. We went all the way to Italy and well…there's this royalty vampire family living there. They are the leaders. They are called the Volturi. They wouldn't let us go because Edward broke the law when he exposed himself and his family to me, a human. And one of the leaders was the vampire that killed my aunt Allegra…Luna's mother. Luna recognized him and she broke down. She threatened to kill him and they were not going to let her leave alive. I had to lie to get them to let Luna leave with me. Then there was Raven and Rika waiting for us in another place"

I finished quickly. I was hoping that Jake would not get mad but I was mistaken. He started shaking. I got up and slowly stepped away from him. "Jake please don't get mad, I did it for the Cullen's. Edward thought I had died. I couldn't let him get killed for something that was not true. Jake calm down, you're going to wake every one up"

I saw Jake slowly seize his shaking. His clothes stopped ripping. Yet when he looked at me he was angry. His hands had turned into fists. I slowly walked back to him but I had to be very careful. But I stopped suddenly, Jake had turned his attention to the dark trees behind my house. I saw his shaking return, his clothes where ripping.

"Jake calm down, what's wrong? Is some one there?"

Jake suddenly pulled me by my arm and placed me behind him on the stairs. I placed my hands on his shoulders. I was scared. Was it Victoria who was in the woods? Who was it?

"Jake who is it?" I asked him again

"Him" he spat out

I looked up. I couldn't see any one there. After squinting, my eyes went wide. I let my hands drop from Jake's shoulders. It was him.

It was Edward.
