Chapter 6
Bella's point of view:
I got out the car and Alice made a "sssh"ing motion to me. I stayed silent and she darted off only to re-appear a second later with a box covered in shiny wrapping paper. She started mouthing to me.
'I want you to get in this box and stay silent and still for a while. I'm going to tell Edward I bought him a present and then as soon as he says "what?" jump out the box and throw yourself at him, okay?' I nodded and followed her into the lounge. She motioned for me to get in the box and I did. She shoved the lid on it and I was plunged into darkness before my eyesight adjusted.
'Everyone come downstairs please!' Alice called even though they would have heard if she'd whispered. Five footsteps came downstairs ... wait only five? 'Where's Edward?'
'In his room staring at a picture of Bella. He went all emo-depressed on us about ten minutes ago.' Jasper told her quietly.
'What's in the silver box Alice?' Emmett whined.
'It's a present for Edward. Will someone please go fetch him? If I do then Emmett will peak. And don't deny it Emmett! I can see the future!' Emmett made a few grumbling noises before I heard someone - Carlisle I think - go upstairs to fetch Edward. A second later the steps returned with another pair of steps making a dragging noise behind them.
'Edward stand up straight!' Alice said.
'Alice. I'm really not in the mood right now.' He sounded so sad! I just wanted to jump out and give him a hug! ... Oh wait, that was the plan wasn't it? Oh ... right.
'You will be. I got you a present!'
'Great. Thanks Alice. Can I go now?' Awww, bless him.
'Soon. Guess what I got you?'
'I don't know Alice. What?' That was my cue. I jumped out the box and landed right in front of Edward.
'Me!' I shouted and everyone except Edward laughed. Edward just smiled and wrapped his arms round my waist, pulling me close.
'I missed you.' He said rubbing his nose against my hair, memorizing my scent.
'I missed you too. A hell of a lot.' I sighed and inhaled his wonderful scent.
'I'm sorry I shouted at you. I love you.' I sighed in contentment. Edward said he loved me!
''S okay and I'm sorry I ran. And I guess I love you too ... a teeny tiny bit.' His family burst out laughing again (why?) but he just smiled and bent his head to mine. I raised my head up and he kissed me with an intense passion. Emmett did a little wolf-whistle from behind us and a couple of people applauded. I ignored them and so did Edward who just picked me up and carried me real fast into his room.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Bella, I brought you a change of clothes!' Alice called through the door. I grabbed Edwards long, white, button-up shirt that had been lying on the floor and buttoned it up quickly. It looked like a dress on me. I pulled open the door a crack to see Alice standing outside with a D&G bag full of clothes.
'Thanks Alice.' I muttered and closed the door, turning back to Edward.
'You know that shirt really suits you. But you know what would look better?' He said alluringly. I wasn't to sure where this was going so I played along.
'No, what?' My tone was suspicious. He came and stood in front of me.
'If you wore it like this.' He replied whist undoing all the buttons. I giggled and allowed him to pull me back onto the bed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Bella?' I was lying across Edward's chest again.
'Mm?' I had my eyes closed and felt strangely sleepy.
'Will you go to sleep for me? Like you did when you were human.' How was he so awake? I was so tired and I was a vampire.
'I don't know if I can.' I muttered into his chest.
'Please? For me?' I gathered he wanted to hear me talk in my sleep.
'M'kay. Love you.' I sighed then snuggled closer to him.
'Love you too.' I heard but my consciousness was drifting. No, I was still fully conscious but I was just incredibly relaxed. I was conscious enough to scheme at least. 'Bella?' I didn't respond but snuggled closer to him. 'Well, crap. She actually fell asleep.' Was Edward talking to himself? Maybe I could sleep talk now.
'No, Edward. I don't want you. Where's Mark?' I muttered sleepily. Edward shifted uncomfortably. Why did I choose the name Mark? I hated Mark with a passion. 'Mark. I missed you.' I felt Edward freeze. 'Love you too.' Edward growled. Which may have turned me on. A little. Edward smelt it and growled again, thinking it was in response to my "dream", tightening his grip around me.
'Crap.' He shook me gently. 'Bella, love? It's time to wake up.' I rolled over.
'I don't want to.' I moaned sleepily. Wow I was good at acting. He shook me harder.
'Bella.' I stretched and opened my eyes.
'Uhuh?' I asked looking into his eyes and trying not to burst out laughing.
'Who's Mark?' That nearly did it. I nearly burst out laughing.
'My best friend Laura's mate.' His eyes narrowed in confusion.
'Oh. Why did you say you missed him and you loved him?' Pain came into his eyes at this statement.
'I didn't did I?' I wasn't sure when to tell him I was dreaming.
'Yes. When you were asleep.' Maybe I would say something now.
'Edward, honey. I didn't go to sleep. I was screwing with you. And I totally hate Mark.' Comprehension dawned on his face.
'Oh. So what made you so aroused?' Damn it. Why couldn't he work that out himself. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled myself close so we were lying facing each other, bodies pressed together.
'Well, you only have to growl.' He looked slightly surprised.
'All I have to do is growl.' It wasn't a question it was a statement. I nodded. 'Like this?' And he started to growl but louder and more violently. It took all my strength not to jump him right then. And I was very turned on. He grinned triumphantly and rolled over so he was on top of me. Well it was a Saturday and we didn't have school. We didn't need to get dressed or go hunting anytime soon.
'Don't get cocky, lover boy. You won't win that easily.' He snickered. Then Alice started banging on the door so hard it vibrated.
'I know you guys are busy but this is really important! Get dressed and downstairs as quick as possible please!' The urgency in her voice couldn't be mistaken and we had thrown on clothes and were downstairs in a matter of seconds.
'What Alice? What is it?' I asked, worried at her urgency.
'Bella. It's time to tell us some of your past. The Volturi. What do they have on you?' Oh crap.
'They want me. I'm really quite powerful. Every time I kill a vampire I get their power and their strength and speed added onto mine. The Volturi kept sending people after me. I killed all of them. I have a lot of powers; telekinesis, my umm ... "death stare", I can control the weather and the elements, change my appearance or someone else's if I touch them, change someone back to human by biting them, create force fields, block vampire's powers, create immense pain with a glance - that was Jane's power -, cut off all your senses - Alec's -, find anyone anywhere - Demetri's - and others. And then I have my immense strength and speed. I didn't show you all of it. Never unlocked it in front of you. The Volturi send more and more people every time. They like to challenge me. Alice, how many are there this time?' Her eyes glazed over for a second then they refocused.
'Thirty. And that's including Aro, Marcus and Caius are coming. Can you kill that many?' I nodded.
'Probably. But if we can get sixteen more then we can pull it off easy. I can take all of them but if we can make it so I take ten or less it will be better. If any of you don't want to sit out then that's okay. I wont mind. I don't expect you to fight for me.' Esme came and put a hand on my shoulder.
'You're our family now. We'll fight by your side.' I looked at her gratefully.
'Bella, where are we going to get sixteen more in-' Alice's eyes glazed and then refocused, again. 'One week?' I chuckled.
'Well Laura and Mark will fight with us even though Mark hates me. And Mark's family of hell bent, English, killing-machine vampires just so happens to come to a grand total of fourteen. And they all adore me so they'll definitely fight. All it will take is two or three phone calls.' Everyone looked nervous but I was grinning. It had been seventy six years since my last fight. It would be fun. I flicked through my contacts down to Laura and pressed ring.
'Bella! What's wrong sweetie?'
'Ah the usual. Got back together with Edward. Made him think I was asleep. Got a pack of Volturi hunting me down.'
'Volturi? How many?'
'Thirty.'
'Crap. So ... you want help?'
'Yes please.'
'Are you intending on asking Mark's family?'
'I was going to why?'
'They came round to visit for the next two weeks and they've all been saying how boring life is.'
'Brilliant. Can I talk to Tyler please? Just check it through with him.' Tyler was the leader of their coven.
'Sure sweetie. I'll just put him on.' I heard the phone being thrown across the room.
'Bells.' Tyler's strong English accent came through.
'Hey Ty. I heard life was getting boring.'
'Hell yeah. We haven't had a fight in ... thirty four years.'
'Lucky you. I haven't had one in seventy six.'
'Ouch. So what can I do for you?'
'Thirty Volturi. One week. You game?'
'Let me consult.' I smiled and heard him shout "who's ready for a fight" to his family. The answering roar made me grin wider.
'I'll take that as a yes then.' Someone grabbed the phone from Tyler and I knew it was Lona 'cause he didn't shout at them.
'Hell yeah that's a yes! Woo!' I heard more roars and cheers and was laughing when I hung up. I put my phone in my pocket and looked up at the Cullen's who were all staring at me.
'What!?!' I cried indignantly.
'They sound like they're relishing the sound a fight.' I chuckled to myself.
'Yeah. They're all insane but they're great guys really.' I chuckled a little more, remembering the times we had met.
'But even you're smiling. Laughing. Aren't you nervous at all?'
'Nope. When you've survived one versus twenty three then twenty four versus thirty kinda loses the thrill.' They all looked at me as if I was insane. 'I wont be offended if one of you wants to sit out. Esme, Carlisle, I know you don't like hurting another being and it's fine if you sit out. The English and me will have fun anyway.'
'Fun. Bella, you were scared when I shouted at you, yet someone mentions fighting and you're all hyped up and ready to go.' Edward looked angry and I could feel the insecurity and fear rising again.
'It's different though Edward. All an enemy can do is kill me. However you can leave me. Jasper'll tell you how "emotionally fragile" I am. It would affect me a lot more if you left me than if you killed me.' Then I pulled out my phone to sort out a few more details with Laura ,who was slightly saner, and wandered a little way away, leaving a very shocked group of seven vampires watching me.
So I found my twist. I wanted them back together and I wanted a new twist. So now I have both. I always get my own way ;) jokes. Muahaha I can't wait to write the fight scene but it's now 3am and I have school tomorrow ... Or should I say today? Anyhoo I'm tired. I have to get up in 4 hours na-night!
Smiles! Xoxo!!!
