2. Threat
"You and all of your alleged family are human lovers," the little girl hissed. She made no effort to keep the conversation a secret. "Hold on a minute." Jasper heard her set the receiver down on a table and walk away.
"Is she still going to threaten us?" Rosalie asked.
"Dunno," Jasper replied. "Hold on a minute. She's coming back."
"Yes, I have the perfect solution to this problem," the creepy little girl continued. "Why not come to our lair in Italy?"
"Aw, Come on, where are we gonna get the airline tickets?" Jasper moaned.
"Oh, you won't need tickets," she said. "Tehehe." Jasper hung up the phone, then turned to face the others.
"I never thought the Noble Order would even target us," he said. "All because we killed one of their operatives."
"You don't know what the six Noble Rulers will do to you," Carlisle replied.
"Six Noble Rulers?" Bella asked.
All of the Cullens looked at her strangely. "We have no time to explain, but I made a nice pamphlet in case this happens," Edward said. He handed Bella a packet of computer paper, stapled.
"They could snatch us away and take us to their home," Esme gasped.
"We need to protect Bella," Alice added.
"I'll take her home," Edward said. He then turned to Bella. "I'm sorry for the party being ruined, but one of the surviving mercenaries must've reported back to them."
Wow. This is beyond belief. I never thought I'd gain a life of intrigue. She followed Edward out of the mansion and into the Volvo. He drove her home. But I'm worried about these six creatures. What'll happen to my friends?
"I'm sorry, my precious," he said, just as she set her feet on the sidewalk and walked toward her home. "But we must face our enemies with dignity."
Bella felt a tear trickle down her cheek. "So this is…
"Probably the last time you'd ever see me again?" Edward continued. "I know, but the Noble Order wants the seven of us executed." He shut the door and drove away.
Is this because of me? Because I killed a mercenary of theirs? She ran inside her house, weeping.
This is one of the shortest and possibly most depressing chapter in this saga.
