By Myself Chapter 18 – The Volterra Deal

Mia POV

I quietly boarded the plane in Seattle on a round trip flight to Italy. I couldn't say good bye to Jake no matter how much I wanted to. La Push territory was off limits to my kind but I did ask Bella to say good bye to him for me and that I'm sorry that I never got to know him more. Now that I was almost certain I was going to die, I wasn't afraid to admit that I was in love with him. I could leave this world knowing what it felt like to fall head over heels for. I just wished the feeling could have lasted a little longer. I will admit I always knew I couldn't hide him forever but at least I couldn't say I didn't try. The flight attendant told us we were taking of and to buckle our seat beats. This flight was going to go by very slow.

Jake POV

I paced the inside of my house waiting for someone to call about the Volturi and what happened with Bella and Mia's little brother. Dad didn't like it that I had 'imprinted' on a vampire. But she seemed really nice I'm sure if Billy would give her a chance. Maybe I will invite her to meet him. The phone rang and I ran to it.

"Hello?" I answered it.

"Jake it's me Bella."

"Yea I got that Bells what happened over there? Are you alright? What about Mia and her brother?"

"Jake calm, I am fine but Mia and Peter," She was getting ready explain something.

"What happened?" I asked maybe a little too fast.

"Peter got caught by the Volturi and Mia went to Italy," She explained. "She said that it would be too hard to say good bye to you but I know that she wanted to. Jake, please promise me you won't do anything stupid like ran away or something. She wouldn't want that and neither do I." She was quiet after that. I felt my insides being torn apart. "Jake? Please promise me that," she begged.

"Alright," I promised. "I won't I have to go Bells."

"Please call me soon to let me know how you are doing." I think the answer will always be the same. I wasn't fine nor was I going to be for a long time. I guess that is why there are mysterious people. They just disappear when they just start to warm up to you.

"Sure Bells Bye." I hung up the phone trying not to slam it back onto the holder.

"Who was that?" Dad asked behind me. Nothing could be hidden from this guy I swear.

"It was Bella," I said honestly. Parents could be worse than mind readers. They always seem to know everything about you and about the things you don't even know about yourself. His face became somewhat colder.

"Oh really what did she have to say?" He asked formally and unemotional. He used to love Bella but now that was a blood sucker things were different. Even for me things were just different. Enemies who didn't want to be enemies but by nature they had no choice.

"That her other friends Mia and Peter are gone," I said as unemotional as I could.

"Ah well it is just another bleep off the radar," he said, "nothing now but to brush our shoulders off and keep going." How could he say that? He knew how I felt. I imprinted! There I admit. I admit it I imprinted on Mia. I huffed a little annoyed and stomped off into my room. This was going to suck.

Mia POV

That flight was possibly the longest one I had ever been on. I now was running into Volterra straight to death. Two days wasn't bad for travel. I could smell the vampires everywhere and their scent led me straight to the main tower. I could imagine what Bella must have felt like coming here but she was able to go underground and not be intimidated by the large tower. We I opened the door I was greeted by three vampires including Jane and Alec.

"We thought you would never come," Jane smiled at me. I just stood there letting her bask in her glory.

"I'm sorry I can't run on water," I snapped.

"Girls," the taller woman interrupted us. "Please not there. We will have to bring her to Aro without causing her any harm. That is for Aro to decide," She smiled at me. I guess everyone is going to get pleasure out of my pain.

"Where is Peter? Teri? Mike?" I asked.

"Just follow us," Alec said. They began walking towards the elevator and when we were all inside and the doors shut Jane continued nagging.

"Did you really think you would get away with this forever?" She asked me.

"No, but in the end I always knew we would have a good run," I answered her calmly no matter how much I wanted to rip her head off. Maybe being calm could help us in the end.

"But why bother risking everything for this thing?"

"You have a brother right? You would understand then the connection between brother and sister. As the older one I would do anything to protect my little brother no matter the cost." No more questions were asked after that. It was just a tiny personal victory for me. But that was quickly shadowed when the doors opened to a small dark hallway and a red door at the end.

"This is the judging room. You will be in the accused circle. Everyone will be above you," the taller woman explained. She grabbed the handle and opened it and pushed me inside. And shut the door with an ominous boom. A little too dramatic much aren't we?

"Mia!" I felt two arms around my legs and tighten like a stone grip. I looked down and saw Peter looking up at me with his golden eyes. I picked him up and held him close to me.

"Thank God you are still alive," I said.

"Define alive," he asked.

"Don't ruin the moment," I scolded him.

"Now that we are already can we please begin?" a bored voice asked. I looked up and saw we were in a shallow pit of some sort and the vampires of the Volturi surrounding from above.

"That's them," Peter pointed towards the vampires.

"Very good observation," I replied sarcastically. "We are ready to begin," I spoke towards the vampires.

"Alright do you know why you are here?" A voice asked.

"For keeping an immortal child," I answered. I put Peter down so I could do this most professionally as I could. He clamped onto my leg. This would frighten any seven year old. Hell this is frightening to me.

"Yes and do you have anything to say for yourself before we pass a judgment?" The voice asked again.

"Yes I do. I want to say that I have completely trained him. He is a calm tame vampire whose sole diet is animals' blood. He should be completely spared he is the victim of this. I was the one who bit him while I was a new born. If you have to punish someone please punish me instead and let him go back to the rest of our coven," I finished off. They stood there looking down on us.

"Will you give us a moment," a voice that I remember as Aro spoke. Three figures left the room leaving other to stare down at us.

"What are they looking at?" Peter asked me.

"Probably you," I answered him. "An immortal child isn't all that common." He formed an 'o' with his mouth and I rolled my eyes.

"Did you get to say goodbye to Jake?" Peter asked.

"No, I didn't," I sighed. I sat on the ground and he jumped into my lap. "Sometimes it is too hard to say goodbye."

"That and you aren't allowed on the reservation," he added.

"Yea, there is that little snag," I noted. "I wished that I knew where Mike and Teri were. Do you know what happened?"

"They are somewhere in America still be they are definitely still alive," he assured me.

"Well that's a relief." That was a big weight off my shoulders. The red door where I came in was opened and three vampires appeared. The front of the group was Aro and the Two must be his brothers.

"Well, Mia you have an interesting past and have proven even immortal children can be tamed and seeing that you and the child had not threatened our hidden existence we have decided to give you a choice."

"A choice? And what may that be?" I asked.

"300 years of serving us as members of the guard or death. You choose."

"So you are not going to kill us?" I asked slightly stunned. I thought that it was a certain death after a mortal child became involved.

"Not if you don't want us to. And maybe a few years off for good behavior." Okay now I was creeped out.

"Why the special treatment?" Aro simple shrugged when I asked.

"It is a shame to waste such powers if you can fool me and if the child can trick people I think you would be better to us alive then dead."

"And when those years are up will you let us go then?"

"We are vampires of our words." I looked at Peter at me.

"Fine we will do it," I agreed. Aro smiled. He got more power whoop de doo.

"I am glad now there are no connections to your old lives. We don't want people coming here and causing trouble," Aro said. That meant no Bella, Mike, Teri, and definitely no Jake.

"Alright just don't kill us." Aro beamed down at us.

"My dears, welcome to the Volturi."

I felt so evil but come on i am not going to kill peter he is to cute =P please review!
