Okay now it is going to hit a ruff patch i think but still enjoy

By Myself Chapter 17 – Good-bye

After much arguing with Edward, Jake, and Mia we agreed that I was going to meet the Volturi at the Cullen's house with Mia and Edward. Jake and Sam were going to go back to La Push. We were in Edwards Volvo speeding down the roads to his house. His hands were wrapped around the steering wheel making his knuckles bone white. Mia was sitting there calm and collected. She was more worried as she was letting on.

"Edward, please calm down," I begged. He looked at me with worried eyes. "They just probably want to see how I turned out as a vampire you know how much Aro was interested in me. He sees me and that is it they go home." He grabbed my hand

"You make it seem so simple," He said.

"It is," I encouraged him. He kissed my hand.

"I hope your right," he admitted as he pulled down the driveway. The house seemed almost desolated. He cut the engine and ran over to my door to help me out. I felt more comfortable when he wrapped and arm around my waist. Mia also gave me a comforting smile as we walked to the house. Edward opened the door and as planned Mia walked in first to look around and then Edward and I followed her. There in the living room on a chair sat Aro with Jane and Alec behind him. Where was Dimitri? The Cullen's were sitting on the couch and their mates sitting in their laps. Aro smiled wildly at me and Edward.

"Ah Bella," he said standing up to greet us. He out stretched his hand to me. I knew he wouldn't see anything with my shield. I let him take my hand Edward's habitual breathing hitch. I slightly smiled when his face was covered in confusion. "I see that you are still the same," he smiled happily. I came here to see if you were changed. I thought that enough time had been given to fulfill that request now I am going to ask you something."

"Certainly Aro," I smiled politely as I could.

"Would you like to become a member of the Volturi?" he asked simply.

"No thank you Aro, I am quite happy right here where I am," I smiled up at Edward. He smiled back down at me kissing my forehead. Aro beamed at us but disappointment was in his eyes. Then he noticed Mia, and looked her over.

"And who is this?" he gestured toward her. Mia held her hands behind her back. I told her about Italy and their powers.

"I'm Mia," she said quietly.

"It is a pleasure Mia." He held out his hand toward her but she just nodded toward it.

"The pleasure it is mine," she said. He placed his hand back it his side.

"Do you have a special ability like some of your friends?" Another power hunt.

"Yes, I am a memory reader."

"Interesting what does that entitled my dear?" she shrugged simply.

"Nothing fancy, just read a person's memory read, fix or destroy it," She smiled simply.

"Amazing," he said. "Would you be interested in joining us?"

"I don't think she is interested," Jane spoke up. "She is a keeper of immortal child." Mia glared at her and step toward her.

"And do you see any immortal children running around with me?" she asked coldly. She and Jane were now three feet apart. I projected my protecting shield around her so she couldn't feel Jane's illusion of pain if she decided to use it.

"I am sure you are hiding him somewhere," Jane spat. Mia snorted.

"Like I would leave an immortal child alone unattended do I look like an idiot?"

"That is debatable," Mia let out a growl after Jane said that.

"Ladies, ladies please," Aro raised a hand to quiet them. "Now Jane my I have your hand?" Jane walked over to her master and placed her hand in his when he saw the information he need he looked over at Mia. "Mia, may you please give me your hand? If not we can always bring you to Volterra and force you but I really don't want to do that." He offered her his hand and she looked at it terrified.

"Mia, don't," I begged. She stood there concentrating on what move to make next.

"I suggest you take it soon," Aro warned. Then she quickly grabbed it and let him see all of her past thoughts. Wait, past, they would be in the memory section right? He frowned and stepped back. "Jane, you know I can't stand people who lie to me," he turned toward his guard. She looked dumfounded.

"I was not lying master, you can see it in her memories," Jane stumbled over her words. Mia smirked while everyone else looked confused.

"Her memories show me that she has been wandering alone for years until she came upon Carlisle at one time and then Bella. I don't see any immortal child in her past. I suggest that we leave now before you say anything else," He snapped at her. Jane sunk into a person who was embarrassed and ashamed. Her brother put and arm around her shoulder. Aro turned toward Carlisle. "I think we better head back to Volterra. It was a pleasure to see you all again. Please come any visit anytime."

"Thank you Aro," Carlisle nodded still sitting with Esme. Aro let himself out with Jane and Alec behind him. Jane glared at Mia as Mia was still smirking at her. When they closed the door we were in the clear to talk.

"Their thoughts are gone and Jane wasn't very pleasant toward you Mia," Edward said. But Mia half collapsed on the floor. We were going to rush to her but she held up a hand toward us.

"Give me a minute I have to fix hundreds of years of memories and past thoughts," she warned. She closed her eyes and focused unmoving and not breathing. When she sighed and we relaxed she smiled at us. "Remind me if we ever see the bitch again make sure I rip her head off." Her eyes were slightly darker than before.

"Can someone explain to me what just happened," Emmett complained.

"I just altered my entire memory therefore altering my thoughts on the situations," She smiled wickedly. "I'm surprised that he would believe it but I guess some people are blinded by their own power." We were quiet for a moment. "I guess we can call Mike and Teri back so they can come home now." Mia pulled out her phone that was on speaker phone as it began to ring.

"Hello?" Teri's voice was slightly frantic.

"Teri, it is all clear back in Forks you can come back," Mia assured her.

"We can't do that."

"Why not?" she asked confused. Then there was a loud rustling.

"You think by cover just his scent that he would be protected?" a voice asked.

"Dimitri, but how?" she asked scared and confused.

"My dear a tracker just doesn't rely on scent but also brain waves and heartbeats and seeing your little brother doesn't have a heart beat I used the other."

"Don't you dare hurt him you asshole," Mia hissed. Esme shot her a warning glance for cursing. I think she was entitled to cursing at him.

"Now now, no cursing or we might not be as kind to him."

"What do you want?" she asked.

"We want you in Volterra," he said simply.

"I'll be on the next flight to Italy."

"Oh and one more thing," he said sounding bored.

"What?"

"Come alone, we know if you bring anyone. Good bye and please hurry," after that the phone went dead. Mia closed the phone.

"Ah yea, I'm going to now," Mia said and turned around. I ran up to her and placed at hand on her shoulder.

"I won't let you go alone," I told her. She looked over her shoulder at me and smiled.

"I agreed to teach you on how to live in this new life and now it is my time to go," She said. She turned to me she was borderline dry crying. "Please let me go. You have a family that is going to love you better than any of my clan can. They offer you a life that is normal all I bring is darkness and hiding. So please when I leave be happy. That is the most you can do for me now. I have to go and face whatever fate has in store with me. I had a good run in the end. I know what the punishment for an immortal child is and I was fully prepared to take it. Staying distant from the world trying not to get too attached," she looked over a Carlisle and then back at me. "Until you came along and showed me more to the darkness and hiding. You helped me by letting me help you. You need to let me go so I can let myself go," She begged at the last part. I never knew she could say anything that deep. I nodded and she gave me a tight hug. When she let go I looked into here onyx eyes and saw the fear, sadness, and pain. "It will be fine," Edward snaked and arm around my waist and pulled me to him.

"I assure you that she will be taken care of," he said.

"I have no doubt," she smiled. "Do mind telling Jake good bye for me? I don't think I can do it," she looked down at her feet.

"Of course," I promised her. She nodded. She turned for the final time she looked over her shoulder at the family and ran out the door. I began sobbing. I felt one small tear fall down the side of my cheek. I guess even vampires still have one tear to cry.

So sad =( but i always have happy endings =D please Review!
