Chapter 2. Enjoy!!
Note: WE still don't own anything. Though we wish we did... If you read on down, I (Sk8erGurl24) DID take the 'I have a theory, it could be Aro...!' line from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Bella will be using many pop-culture refrences in this. Lyrics for 'American Idiot' belong to Green Day.

"Let the fun begin," We said together.
I looked around and couldn't help but notice the large castle looming in front of us.
"'Least they have a nice crib...pt. Crypt. Get it? Haha...huh..." The smile fell from my face.
Alice rolled her eyes and grabbed my hand, pulling me into the large palace. Demetri and Felix were waiting for us.
"Ah. Alice. Bella. How nice of you to join us," Demetri said, with a fake smile plastered on his pale face.
"Whatever," we both said in unison.
"So...Demetri, where's Edward?" Alice asked in her nice, girlie voice.
"We will tell you...after you join us!" If this were a movie, thunder and lighting would have flashed when he said that and he would have done the odd 'Mwahahaha' thing. But it wasn't, and he didn't. Dang...
"Okay. Yeah. Sure. Whatever. We're in." I'm not known to have much patience.
Demetri grinned a freaky, stalker grin. "Come in." My pretties, I added silently.
The two guards led us into the fore`.
I looked around, sliding off my brown leather coat. "Where's the coat rack?"
"Ahh, such briliance!" I heard a voice say. I have a theory, it could be Aro...! "You're mind and spirit will be such a wonderus asset to our brood." Brood? Huh, I didn't know anybody still used that word (other than the ones meaning 'thoughtful and depressing') anymore...
"Yes, and they've been known to ace a few tests, too!" I batted my eyelashes innocently.
"Oh, and funny, too. You will be a great use!"
"Just what I've always dreamed of being! A use! How did you know?"Alice glanced at me and held back a laugh.
"Aro," Alice said in a sickly sweet voice. "Would you please tell us where Eddy is now?"
"Of course," He smiled, the same evil one Demetri had. Hmmm. Maybe the evil smile came with the whole 'Volturi' thing. Like, Join today and get a free evil grin!! kind of deal. "Right this way."
He led us down a cooridoor. I swear, the guy didn't walk. He glided. Floated, even. He pulled keys out of his robe (Which I REALLY hoped we didn't have to wear. Burlap does NOTHING for my complection) and unlocked a heavy, metal door, leading to a smaller metal door, leading into a chamber leading to a set of stairs, which led down into another chamber with another metal door (I could easily get lost here. Maybe they had maps in the gift shop!) and inside was Edward. Finally!
"Bella! I want you to leave! It's a trap! He'll capture you! RUN!!!" Edward said in a rush when he saw the two of us.
"You mean like he did you? Last time I checked, we weren't chained to a wall and the Volturi, here, don't lock members up in confusing, dark chambers," I said.
"No he--wait. Members?" Edward's face twisted up into an odd expresion. Like he smelled something bad. Or just ate a bucket of jalepenos. Or both...
"Uh-huh!" Alice chimed, and gaged Edward's reaction. It wasn't a happy one. "Oh, Eddy! I thought you'd be happy for us! You get to leave. We can figure out something later."
"But, you, and, evil, the, but, and, wha--, huh?"
"Okay, Ozzy. Buh-bye," I smiled, doing my best (and somewhat more attractive) evil smile.
We turned to leave.
"Bella! Alice! What are you doing?!?!?" Edward screamed after us.
"Leaving."
"Did you FORGET something?"
"Oh. OH. Yeah. Aro, he's of no use to us. Let the lower being go," I said, mocking him. He raised an eyebrow, silently questioning me, and turned to leave.
"He will stay."
APOV
"WHAT?!?!?" I said, "You said he would leave if we stay. We're staying so he's leaving!!!"
"Alice, didn't you get what I said 'It's a trap!!!'" Edward quoted himself.
We chased after Aro. Bella grabbed the sleeve of his, ugly and very unfashionalble, robe.
"Listen, Aro, you made a deal. If you break your's, we can break our's," Bella said, sternly and angerily. And then, out of litterly nowhere, Jane, Alec, Demetri, and Heidi appeared.
Bella and I glanced around nervously.
"Dude, Alice, they've got the Dracula 'poof' thing going on. So cool!" Bella smiled as she whispered into my ear. I giggled.
"Yes, we are breaking our little deal, but you will be keeping yours. Or else, Edward will see his last days in this stark dungeon," Aro said.
"So if we don't keep our deal you'll let him go?" I asked perkily.
"Let me rephrase. You shall keep your deal, or your precious Edward will see his last days living."
"Technicly, he's not living. He'd see his last non-living days. How can you kill a dead guy anyway?" Bella's eyebrows drew together in mock confusion.
"You get the point," Aro said in a rush, then worked to compose himself. In a lighter tone, he said, "Come. We shall show you to your chambers."
I looked back at Edward sadly before following Aro through the metal door, out of the chamber, up the stairs, through the other chamber, through another metal door, and out of the last, large metal door. I couldn't help but think now, how were we supposed to save us all. Adventualy we would get tired, feel useless, give up and give in. I frowned as we walked, but in my head I could hear Edward playing Bella's Lullaby and began to hum. I felt better as I hummed, I was given renewed hope. And then I began to think again, He will find Jasper. He'll take him and then it'll be over. I can imagine how it'd feel. I just...couldn't let that happen. Advoid all contact with Aro. And as I began to think I pulled out my purse and began to work on my make-up. Start the plan. Bella had the music and I had all the girly stuff. It would work out in the End. I know it would. Though the outcome was a little dusty, I saw us at home with the ones we loved. The ones we'll spend eternity with. Our Family. We then got to our 'chambers' or bathroom sized bedroom.

He showed us to our room, which was the size of Charlie's bathroom. Plus, the window looked upon the other half of the castle. This made me mad!
"If we're gonna stay here, we might as well have a view. And a big room. And a three-course meal!"
"We don't eat," Alice reminded me.
"Then three different blood types!"
"Well, we are expecting Leroy Exclainkovicsh for dinner tonight," Aro told us.
"Leroy McWhatohvicsh?" I asked.
"Exclainkovicsh," Alice and I looked at him oddly. "What? I like to pronounce what I eat."
Aro turned to leave. I pulled a mixed CD out of my backpack and slid it into the tiny player on the nightstand, cranking the volume to max.
Don't wanna be an American idiot.
Don't want a nation under a new media
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind of America
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be OK
Television, Dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones your meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
Came blasting through the speakers. Aro saunterd off, biting his lip at the sound of music and grimacing.
Plan Annoy the Heck out Of the Volturi was a go!
"So now what?" Alice asked.
"Now we...well, I dunno. Be really annoying. Cheerleader-y."
"Okay!" She hopped up and down waving her arms over her head.
"Good. Keep that up."
About a half an hour later we were called down to Mr. McSomethingorother-avich. He was an over weight guy. Not that good looking, either.
As we sat down, Alice said, "You know, I don't like alot of fat on my meat. Do we have to eat him?"
"What?!" McWhatovich started flailing around, fish outta water style. He was either A) Having a seizure B) Scared for his life or C) Doing that new dance I saw on MTV last night. I'm leaning towards C.
"Eat me? Canibals! You're all canibals!" He ran off.
"Now look what you've done! You lost our dinner! A very plump, juicy one, too! Go to your chambers!"
"Yes, dad," I said sarcasticly.
"GOOOO!!!!!!!!"
"That was awkward," Alice said as we walked upstairs.
"Yes. Let's calm them (And us) down with some looooooud music," I said.
"Cool." She slid a Slip Knot CD into the player. Now, we're not Slip Knot fans or anything, but it was good for plan Annoy the Heck Out of the Volturi, or AHOV (Pronounced: Ay-Hahv).
