I own a leather jacket. It's sooo comfy. I don't own this though ...
I found my pendrive! (obviously)
Bella's point of view:
Caius gestured for me to enter the lounge so I handed him Theo and Rosie, mouthing "thank you" to him. I took a deep breath and walked inside the lounge. Everybody gasped when they saw me and I smiled nervously, noticing there was no Edward.
'Ummm ... Hi?' I asked, unsure of what to say. Victoria broke out in sobs, leaning against Matt for support. I pouted, folding my arms across my chest in a similar way to how a small child would. 'You know, I didn't have to come back. I could've stayed in the place I'm not allowed to say anything about but no! I thought I would be nice and make sure y'alls didn't go crazy without me, but I come back and this is what I get? Well, that's just fine, I'll go back again,' I sulked like a child who didn't get what they wanted. Jane laughed, throwing herself on me. I fell back onto the floor, Jane straddling my chest.
'You are such a bitch, do you know that!?' She cried, laughing happily and hugging me.
'I'm sure I've heard it somewhere before,' I laughed back and she kissed my cheek.
'Please don't go back,' she begged and I shook my head.
'I won't. Not unless I have to,' I promised. Jane laughed again then hit me around the back of the head. 'Ow! Jane, what was that for!?' I whined and everyone laughed.
'You abandoned me!' She cried in reply.
'Not like I had much choice now is it?' I huffed and she smirked at me. Then she was gone, somebody pulling her off of me by the shoulders. I stood up to see Alice. She threw herself on me, wrapping her legs around my waist and hugging me so tightly that if I was human I would have been literally crushed.
'I missed you so much! Don't ever do that to me ever again!' Alice yelled and I laughed, kissing her forehead.
'I won't, I promise,' I made them another promise that I might not be able to keep. Great. Then Alice was gone and I was being swung around in a bear hug by Emmett. He put me down and Victoria and Matt both gave me slightly saner but still overly excited hugs. Aro and Demetri both hugged me as well and I turned around to hug the rest of the Cullens. Esme and Rosalie were both sobbing on their husbands' shoulders, Carlisle and Emmett were comforting them although they looked like they wanted to cry as well and Jasper just stared at me with a cross between pity and pure joy. I hugged Jasper first.
'Good to have you back,' he whispered in my ear. I grinned at him before letting go and walking over to Rosalie. She hugged me tightly, sobbing her eyes out.
'It's okay, you're back with us, you're safe,' she promised me and I nodded dumbly.
'Safe,' I repeated like a small child would. She smiled then let go of me, pushing me over to Carlisle and Esme. Esme wrapped me straight into her arms, substituting Carlisle's shoulder for mine.
'My poor, poor baby,' she whispered, hugging me tightly. It took me a moment or so to realize that she was talking about Conn and what he did to me.
'It's okay, I'm okay,' I assured her and she smiled, pressing her lips to my forehead. I smiled and hugged her once more, quickly, before swapping to Carlisle. Carlisle didn't say anything, we just hugged instead. When I eventually pulled back I looked around the room, my forehead furrowing in confusion.
'He's not here,' Alice stated and I shot her a look that said na shit, Sherlock, 'He'll walk through that door in thirty eight seconds,' she continued and I smiled.
Those thirty eight seconds were the longest of my life, I was fidgeting constantly, unsure of what to do or say. The door opened and I froze where I was standing. Edward trudged in, looking down at the ground. He didn't even notice me. He sat down with his back to me and stared at his hands. I sighed heavily.
'Didn't even notice me,' I mumbled to myself and Edward's head snapped up.
'Did anyone else hear that or am I going crazy?' He asked and I giggled, willing myself to disappear. I felt a tingle and I looked down at my hand. I saw nothing.
'Edward,' I called and his head span around. He looked for a moment but he couldn't see me. Everyone else looked around but they couldn't see me either. 'Edward, can't you see me? I'm right here,' I stated, trying to hold back my entertainment.
'I'm definitely going crazy,' he mumbled, scanning the area one more time before turning back around. I made myself reappear.
'Edward, I'm behind you,' I called but he shook his head. Stubborn. I snuck forward silently until my lips were right by his ear. 'I'm right next to you,' I whispered and he clenched his eyes together. I pressed my lips to the side of his face and Edward's eyes shot wide open. He span around and grabbed my face between his hands.
'Bella,' he sighed and I nodded, resting my forehead against his.
'Edward,' I replied. Edward frowned.
'You're not real. I must've gone insane,' he murmured to himself.
'I'm real Edward. I came back for you. I promised I would. You didn't hear me though,' I told him and he smiled weakly at me. I stood up, pulling him with me, and I lead him to the door. I could feel everyone's eyes on us but I just ignored them, opening the door and pulling Edward out into the corridor. Edward wrapped his arms around my waist and he pulled me up. I wrapped my legs around his waist slowly and Edward walked in the general direction of my room, staring at me and ignoring all the other vampires that saw us.
Edward lay me down on my bed gently and he crawled on top of me, kissing my lips softly and sensually. I rolled us over and straddled his lap.
'Let me prove to you I'm real,' I whispered and Edward pulled my lips back to his, the rest of our night dissipating into pleasure.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There was a sharp rap at our door and Edward pulled away from me, kissing my nose gently as he pulled on his boxers. He opened the door and I sat up in the bed, wrapping the sheet around myself and running my hand through my hair. I had sex hair. Figures.
Alice appeared in my - or was it our? - room, looking slightly annoyed.
'Bella, we only just got you back and you disappeared again,' Alice whined, looking directly at me.
'Alice, as much as I love you, I love Edward more,' I told her apologetically. Alice glared at me before pouting.
'But I'm your best friend,' she whined. I laughed.
'We'll meet you in the throne room in a few minutes,' I promised and she nodded, walking to the door.
'By the way Aro, Marcus and Caius are out hunting, they left you in charge,' she added before leaving.
Edward came over to the bed and sat down next to me, his hand going to the back of my neck as he pulled my face closer to his so he could kiss me. Our kiss was gentle and sweet, totally romantic. We didn't make anymore body contact than touching each others faces. After a little bit Edward pulled away from me, sighing.
'Alice will be pissed if we aren't there soon,' he murmured and I nodded. Edward pulled his clothes on quickly and I walked to my wardrobe. After pulling on underwear I pulled a long tight black tank on that covered my ass and clung to all my curves. I threw on a shorter tight white cami over the top of that and pulled some black combat boots on. My outfit was quite emo but I looked hot.
I ran a comb through my hair a few times and Edward came up behind me, taking the comb from my hands and completing the task for me. We walked to the throne room together, hand in hand, savouring every moment we had together. We walked into the room and there were four ragged, wild-looking vampires with bright red eyes standing in the middle of the room, surrounded by the guard. I pushed through the ring of vampires to stand in front of the vampires. I was in charge and I knew what I was doing.
'Who are you and what the hell are you doing here?' I asked, my voice full of authority. The vampires all sneered at me. 'Tell me now or I'll kill you myself,' I threatened and one of them walked forward slightly, taking stance as leader.
'We want to speak to one of the Volturi leaders,' the man growled and I checked my nails out of boredom.
'They're hunting. I'm in charge. Now speak,' I commanded again. The smallest vampire burst out laughing.
'You're the highest member of the guard! You wish!' He snorted a laugh. Before he could say anything else I was upon him, twisting his arms in such a way as to cause him pain.
'Don't mock me, I could end you before you even move,' I hissed dangerously, throwing him to the ground.
'Peace, Adam,' the "leader" ordered and the smallest male settled down. The leader turned his attention back to me. 'We want to inform you of a certain ... Movement ... Taking place in France. There is an army there being created by a man named Laurent. There are fifty right now and he is creating more. Their object is to bring you down,' the man informed us and Victoria swept forward to my side.
'Laurent. What does he want!?' She hissed. I shrugged before turning back to him.
'Were you created by him?' I asked and they nodded.
'We've been vampires for a year and our strength is waning. We were ordered to be dispatched but they sent us in as a group and we overpowered the man who was supposed to kill us,' the leader explained. I nodded slowly, unsure whether this man spoke the truth or not. I turned my head to Edward and he nodded. The man spoke the truth.
'Thank you for coming to warn us. It is nice to know that you took your time to do so,' I spoke and the man nodded to me, smiling a little.
'Anything for a pretty lady,' he smiled and Edward growled.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The four men - Kyle, the leader, Adam, Luca and Keith - had been inducted to the guard. Aro's idea. We spent most of our nights in the throne room, calling in favours and talking to old friends. Alice had told us that by the time Laurent arrived in three months he would have an army of eight six at most. The numbers were likely to go down by about ten due to the newborns fighting and Laurent dispatching others. In other words we needed at least forty vampires. There were thirty six in the guard - including the Cullens and the four newborns we had acquired - so we didn't really need many more. However we had managed to get Siobhan's coven, the Denali, the Amazon's, the Romanian's and quite a few other covens to help. How Aro got the Romanian's to help I'll never know but he managed it.
I sat in one of the TV rooms with Edward, Theo and Rosie, Edward and I telling them a story. It was our story basically but we changed the names and other bits. Edward was telling them about how the vampire called Jeremy had left the human girl called Stacey when Alice burst into the room.
'We need a tactics meeting in the throne room right now. My vision just changed,' she rushed.
Muahaha!!! Laurent made a come back! I'm not sure if I wrote it that he was dead in Daybreak or Sundown but he isn't anymore and he's back with a vengeance. Woohoo! And a battle with eighty newborns. That sounds painful.
I'm in Kenya for the next two weeks so I can't write or update. Sorry!
Like it? Love it? Hate it? Want to throw water over me then wire me up to a very large electrical output? Let me know, R&R ;)
Smiles! Xoxo!!!
