Sorry about not updating until now-I had extremely bad writers block. Hopefully, this chapter will make it up to you :D
Chapter Ten: Returning To You
Edward POV
I tapped my fingers impatiently on the arm rest of the seat in the plane. Only a few more hours left, but I was already quivering with anticipation.
Alice had said that the fighting would begin soon, but she didn't say when. I was worried that by the time I got there, I would have been too late.
"Excuse me, sir, but could I help you with anything?" A nasally voice drifted from my left. I kept my gaze on the seat before me.
"No thank you." I said curtly, not even turning to address the stewardess. Her thoughts were already as vile as they could be, and I had to refrain from shuddering.
Upset, she huffed and turned away. I didn't care though. Nothing was on my mind but finding Bella safe and sound.
I jumped into a nearby car from the airport and sped away, towards the center, towards Volterra. When I finally got in through the gate, I planned to go down underground, but two pairs of arms held me back: Emmett and Jasper.
"You aren't going there alone, Edward."
"LET. ME. GO!" I roared, trying to fling off their arms. They held me steady, pulling me back into the car. I flailed, knowing it wouldn't do any good.
Jasper and Emmett shoved me in the car, Emmett staying in the back to restrain me. Jasper drove, fishtailing around and heading towards the hotel.
"I told you to let me go! I need to make sure that Bella is safe!"
"Edward, you're insane. She's a human drinker now, and she's part of the Volturi. She doesn't even remember who you are."
I stayed silent the whole ride back from them, with Jasper sending waves of calm out to me every 5 seconds and Emmett ranting on and on in his head. I didn't even bother to decipher what he was thinking. All I was doing was trying to create a plan that would allow me to escape to Bella so I could see her, to make sure she was okay.
But she remembers me. I know she does.
I was planning to bolt as soon as Jasper stopped the car, but Emmett must have figured that I would, since he waited until both him and Jasper had a firm grip on me before stepping out of the car.
I allowed them to tow me into the hotel and up to their room, knowing that I couldn't make a ruckus with the humans around. However, once I stepped into the room, it was a different matter.
I forcefully slammed the door behind me, leaving it rocking dangerously on it's hinges.
"WILL SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON AND WHY YOU'VE BROUGHT ME HERE? I NEED TO MAKE SURE BELLA IS OKAY!" I roared at them. They all cowered slightly, flinching.
"Edward. We haven't even made a plan yet about how we're going to help the Volturi. You going by yourself and getting yourself killed is not going to help protect Bella."
My hands were balled up in fists now, and my entire body was quivering with anger.
I was about to open my mouth to argue again, but a loud, piercing scream echoed through the building.
Peter was here.
Bella POV
It was total chaos in the throne room. We had received a tip from Peter that he and his army were going to be arriving soon, very soon, and he would prevent the attack if I gave myself up and became his queen, in other words, his mate. In response, I had said "Hell no" and it made him even more aggravated. Basically, we were walking on eggshells now-we had to be careful, any moment now, any second now, he could attack.
All the vampires were running all over the place, not sure of what to expect or what to do. In the midst of it all, we had gotten more information on Peter and his army.
Totally, there were about 1000 vampires, some newborn and some old. There were about only 50 vampires in the Volturi, and we were expecting reinforcements to be arriving soon. However, we hadn't had time to call each and everyone one of them again to alert them that Peter would be arriving soon, so all we could do was hope that they could arrive soon.
I had known that this wasn't good. We only had 2 days for everyone to train, and not even half of them knew the new training techniques we taught them well enough yet.
Completely aggravated, I roared, "EVERYONE GET THEIR ASSES DOWN TO THE THRONE ROOM! NOW!" My voice rang out through the entire underground cavern, and I knew that they could hear me.
Five seconds later, they all appeared in the living room, terrified.
I walked into the middle of the room, seething. "Listen up. Peter and his army is going to come, and he has 1000 vampires with him, some newborn, some old." I made sure to glare at all of them before continuing on.
"There is only one way we can defeat them with the minuscule number we have right now. Form groups of five, now!"
The room blurred as everyone raced around, forming into their separate groups. "For those of you who know math, that means every group has to take out exactly 100 vampires." There was a collective gasp, but I ignored it, continuing on.
"Damien, get the slayer weapons." Damien reappeared with boxes and crates full of weapons, and I lined them up before me with my telekinesis. "Everyone, take one from each separate box and listen up. This will be the only time I will instruct you on the use of these weapons, so listen up and remember it well. Or else get yourself slaughtered. Do I make myself clear?"
The whole group winced, but nodded. I flicked my hand to get them to move, and when everyone was through, I smashed the boxes into bits and threw them into a pile in the corner of the room.
I picked up a bag near my feet. They were filled with the same weapons, but I had altered them to make them stronger, more lethal.
I pulled out the first things my hands touched. I smiled as I caught a glimpse of them-my trusty hand daggers.
I held it high up for everyone to see, explaining how they should use these for close contact fighting only, because of their size. They were made to attack the limbs such as the arms and legs of the opponent.
Next, came a spear-like weapon. It was used for piercing the opponent's chest.
The slayer stars, of course, were used for hitting opponents long distance.
Then, my personal favorite-The scythe. It was long and curved, and if it was used correctly, it could slice off a vampire's head with one quick swipe.
Most of the group were dumbfounded by how these weapons could pierce vampire flesh, but I had to owe all of that up to Damien.
After Damien had confessed to me his feelings about Veronica, we spent more time together as I helped explain to him why it felt like love. I had guided him patiently through his whole thought process, and I found myself digging up more memories of Edward during the time as I helped Damien. I truly felt happy for the both of them, and I had promised that I would speak to Aro about letting him visit her after the whole 'Peter' mess was over with.
I was about to tell them to line up, but someone clapping and the collective snarls and growls in the room made me turn around.
Peter was standing there, surrounded by his army. He was clapping his hands slowly, with a smirk on his face.
"So, Isabella. We meet again."
Holding up his hand, his army started marching forward. I kept my arm at my side, a signal telling the Volturi not to attack yet.
"Peter." I addressed him coldly.
"I hope you've decided to take up my offer?"
"No means no, Peter. I would die before I would agree to be your mate."
He laughed, forcibly. "I'm sorry to hear you say that. But...Prepare to be defeated, Isabella. Prepare to die."
I bared my teeth and launched into my crouch, growling. The others behind me did the same, and I mirrored his smirk.
"Bring it on."
Yay! The great battle :D Please review, and if you guys can beat your review record, I'll be updating sooner in the next two days!
