Renee and I walked, or in my case skipped, back to the hotel. I glanced at the clock as I walked through the kitchen. 9:45. Wow. I hadn't realized how late it truley was. I grabbed a poptart before I walked out and went to my room. I inhaled one of the poptarts and went to shower. After I got out, I all but passed out on my bed. Tomorrow was going to be one hell of a day.
"Izzy!"
I grunted, "huh?" What the hell? Why is she yelling at me?
"Isabella, get up!"
I rolled over and looked at the clock. 8:30. Why is she yelling at me at eight- fucking- thirty in the morning? Renee walked in my room. Whatever happened to knocking.
"If you don't get up and start packing, we are not going to Volterra," she said, attempting and failing at trying to sound feirce. I snorted at her.
"Pshed, you are just as excited to go as I am."
"Shut up and start packing, I want to be out of here by twelve," She said suddenly excited.
"Are you mad, woman? How are we supposed to have this whole place packed by noon?" I asked her.
"Well, I've been up since five, drank a whole pot of coffee, and I've gotten everything besides the kitchen packed, so you sound be able to pack up your room and your bathroom shouldn't you?" she said.
I just looked at her.
" Just leave out a bag with some clothes and your bathroom necessities, okay?"
"Mmkayy," I said pulling out some of my drawers.
"Here's some boxes. You want some coffee?" She said practically bouncing.
"Nah," I said.
"More for me," she said, literally skipping back through the house.
I dumped all my clothes into the biggest box she gave me, -I'm such an organized packer- And I went and got my back pack from the bottom of the closet. It was already packed with everything that was valueable to me. My run-away bag. My savings car, a change of clothes and directions on how to get from phoneix to hell, more commonly known as Forks. I layed it on my bed and went to my bathroom to get whatever was in there. I took my few boxes to the living room. Renee wasn't kidding when she said she had everything else packed up. But that shouldn't have surprised me, we had packed an unpacked so many times before it was second nature.
"You done?" Renee asked as I sat down my boxes.
"Yeah," I said, looking around for the clock that had been packed hours before, "What time is it?"
"Almost eleven," She replied immediately.
"Ohh," I said. I had took longer than I thought.
"Now all we have to do is carry these down to the car and we can leave," she said picking up some boxes.
"blehh," was my response. I grabbed my boxes and walked to the elevator. I stepped out of the elevator and through the lobby. Renee's Equinox was parked out front. I put my boxes in the back seat and walked back inside. I saw a luggage cart near the elevator and thought "what the hell?" I grabbed it and dashed into the elevator and back to our room.
"Good idea Izzy," Renee said, effectively scaring the shit out of me.
"Jeez," I said, trying to slow my heart.
" Come on!" Renee whined, "I want to get out of
I started wheeling the cart to the elevator as Renee got the last of the boxes.
"Hey! You can't use that!" one of the hotel workers yelled.
"Too late," I yelled across my shoulder as I walked out the door. I loaded the rest of the boxes and wheeled the cart back inside just as Renee was starting to load hers. Five minutes and a pissed off hotel worker later we were on our way to Volterra.

When we finally spotted the entrance to the city, it was just after two p.m. We drove through a very old and interesting gate and parked near the curb. We got out and walked around until a very young and handsome guy walked up to us. I noticed he had on all long sleeves and was staying in the shadows.
"Hello, I'm Alec. I'm here to take you to the school," He told us. Was he a part of the guard, or just a worker?
"Lead the way, sir," I told him, finally getting excited.
We walked through a set of doors that looked like they lead to an apartment building, down a flight of stairs, then a long halllway. Aro stepped through a door at the end.
"Izzy! Renee!" he yelled, "I'm so thrilled that you are finally here. I've been so excited, I didn't get any sleep last night. I've been driving everyone insane."
"Hello Aro," Renee said politely.
"Renee," Aro replied, nodding his greeting.
"Bow and Aro!" I cried.
"Izzy!" he yelled back
"Come, come," he said, ushering us through the door that he had came through. "Let me show you around."
On the other side of the door was a waiting room, with a pretty human setting behind the desk.
"This is our secretary, Giannna," he said walking through the room and into a hallway. "This is my office, come to me for anything," he said pointing towards a door.
He continued to show us rooms, or "classes" as they were supposed to be, until Renee announced she had to leave this instant or she would have to become a hooker for the night to find a place to stay since I got to stay at the castle. I would be staying Sunday night through Thursday nights at the castle andspend the weekend with Renee. When Renee left one of the guards, Heidi, had showed up to show me to my room. Yeah, right. It was bigger than my whole house back in Phoniex. I hadn't really looked past the "living area", and my bedroom,I would have to one of these days.
"Izzy?" someone said knocking at my door.
"Yeah?" I replied, as Aro walked in.
"Tomorrow morning will be your offical start of training to become a part of the Volutri. Heidi will come help you get ready at around seven a.m. Be ready to offically meet the entire guard."
" Yeah, no pressuer or anything," I mumbled.
He laughed, " You'll be fine, and you know that no one would dare hurt you, their all to afraid of me."
"Whatever you say old man."
He chuckled at me, "good night Izzy, get some sleep."
"mm."
