Bella's pov
I didn't know how to start. I mean, how do you tell your future family that you lied to them the entire time you knew them? How do you tell your brothers that you have a new family? How do you tell your brothers that your new fiancé and future family are vampires?
My head spun in endless circles, struggling to find the answers to these inquiries.
"So are you going to explain yourself or not?" Rosalie griped from the couch she was propped on.
I gazed out of the window, trying to balance my thoughts and find a straight answer.
The rain picked up, making it near impossible to see across the street, the wind carried the fallen leaves to and fro, a bolt of lighting lit the sky, seconds before a crash of thunder shook the ground. I continued to stare, completely entranced by the magnificent sight before me, earths ultimate power had always amazed me in ways I had never really understood. My gran always said that it was because I was special, not in the 'der da der' way but in lieu of my powers. She explained that one out of every other generation would be an elemental, meaning that he or she could understand, appreciate, and control earths forces, each generation growing stronger until one would be this all powerful being who would be like mother nature 2. Of course, gran also thought that she could see into people's lives through the magic box in the living room, a.k.a the TV we had gotten her when I was fourteen.
"Bella!" Reid snapped his fingers in front of my face, bringing me out of my stupor.
"What?" I started.
"Charlie is home." He stated.
As soon as Reid said that, Charlie walked through the door.
"Hey Bells. What's with the party?" he questioned suspiciously.
"Oh…yea, these are some friends of mine back from Phoenix, you remember them right? This is Caleb, Pogue, Reid, and Tyler." I indicated each of them as I said their names.
"Ah yes. These are the boys you always talked about when you came here during the summer. You always referred to them as your 'brothers'. I always assumed you just wanted more siblings but I can see how someone might mistake you as brothers and sister. You all look awfully similar." He said with a smile.
I was shocked at how talkative he seemed to be today.
"Good day?" I asked surprised.
"Very good day. But I'll tell you about it later, I can see you're busy."
"No it's okay Charlie, my family and I were just leaving." Esme said with a kind motherly smile. She obviously knew how much I needed time to think things over and I was grateful.
"Thank-you Esme." I said, relief barely touching my tone.
She simply bowed her head slightly and ushered her family out of the door.
"Oh yeah, dad…would you mind terribly if the guys stayed here for tonight? They don't have anywhere else to go." I said, working on his sympathy.
"Sure if you can find where to put them." He chuckled catching on.
I smiled, "So… are you going to tell me why it was a good…oh wait didn't he say something like 'very good'?"
"Why yes he did." Caleb said jokingly jumping in.
"So are you going to tell me why you had a good,"
"Very good." Caleb interrupted.
"Yes Caleb thank-you…A very good day?" I finished simply so my annoyance of a brother couldn't cut in again.
"Well, there was a car-jacking early this morning and the owner of said car came in to the station to report it of course. At first I was mesmerized because she reported a stolen Bugatti Veyron. I thought she was high but as it turns out, she is the CEO to some tourist agency in Italy. And because of me helping find her car, in record time I might add, she has offered my family and I, my family meaning you, a tour of Italy absolutely free of charge." His excitement grew more and more until he seemed he was about to explode.
"That's great dad! But how am I going to be able to go to Italy with school and everything?"
"Everything meaning that boy?" he questioned sharply.
"Its not just Edward, dad. It's work and school and the guys just came to visit, it would be rude of me to just leave them hangin'." I tried to worm my way around this one.
"Well the guys can go with us, you talked about them so much I feel like they are my kids. And you're smart; you'll be fine in school. I already called the Newton's and they said enjoy. And the boy will live."
"How do you know this isn't just a scam anyway? You are a cop Char…dad you know how people can be nowadays."
He sighed, tired of me ruining his fun most likely.
"After she invited us, I thought the same thing. But how can there be such thing as a free scam?"
"A scam to get personal information dad." I reminded him belligerently.
"What are they gonna get by stealing my information? My height and weight? I don't have a bank account because I don't trust banks so that isn't a possibility? I checked out the agency's website and they're legit. Now please stop ruining my fun and just be excited that we are going to Italy tomorrow."
"TOMORROW?! WHAT?! What do you mean tomorrow? So soon? I don't have a good feeling about this dad. I mean do you even really know who this woman is? What's her name?!"
"Don't use that tone with me young lady," he said sternly, "And her name is Heidi, Heidi Volturi."
DUN DUN DUN!!!!!!!!!!!! SORRY I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S AN ACTUAL CLIFF HANGER OR NOT BUT STILL, LOTS TO COME!!!!!!!!!!!
On a second note, I would sincerely like to apologize for waiting so long to update, but it seems that the only time I actually get to write for more than five minutes is when I get the flu…which I have by the way…during the holidays…which really sucks. But oh well LIFE GOES ON!
And on a third note, I am also sorry if this chapter sucks but my head is all clogged up with the flu so I'm a little twisty right now.
Anxious to hear your thoughts,
Meagan
