A/N: I got a couple reviews earlier today complaining about how I ended the last chapter.
Please understand I did it for a reason. You have to remember how the Cullens feel about the Volturi.
Also remember that Jasper never quite trust Bella anyways.
Everything will work. Thanks. Mandy Marie

Chapter 9: What Now?

Three weeks later

It's been three weeks since my heart went missing. I still cant believe that it happened. After they walked away Victoria had someone carry me home and then sent for my stuff. I felt like i was finally and truly dead. When everything was packed up again Victoria insisted that we go home to Voltaire, Italy, and that's where I am now. For three weeks I have done nothing but lay in my bed and stare up at my ceiling wishing that i had the power to sleep cause in sleep you can dream and if i could dream i would dream of being happy with him again. I can't even bring myself to say his name, let alone think it, the pain is just to much.

"Come on Bella you need to hunt, your eyes are black as night." Victoria said standing next to me. "I know you miss him but he turned his back on you not the other way around."

I didn't move or say anything. What was there to say? I messed up, I threw away the only chance that I had for true happiness in this God forsaken existence. All I wanted was to be given a second chance, no instead all I got was hatred because I was a Volturi. I guess that love was just to much to ask for when my family was royalty.

When I didn't move or say anything Victoria got up and started to walk away. "Bella if he truly does love you then he will come but if he doesn't then he is not worth all of this." With that she walked out to take care of her other jobs for today.

When she left it got me to thinking, she was right. I never lied to them, I may have kept out the fact of who my family was but that was no reason at all to through me under the bus and break my heart the way that they did. Edward was supposed to love me but he didn't really other wise it wouldn't matter who our family's were. Look at Romeo and Juliet although they died in the end they didn't let their families kill their love.

With that thought I got up and decided that if he did come for me then we would try to work things out but until then I was going to stop moping around this place and get my life back on track. I got up to look for Victoria so that she could take me out to hunt then we were going to go shopping. Little did I know that fates had other plans for me.

When I opened my door to find Victoria she was already running through my door. "Bella we have a problem, Aro needs to see you right away."

"Okay." I said as I started walking to go to the thrown room where my father was located. When I walked in the room I said, "Father, Uncles how are you today? You wished to speak with me?"

"Isabella sweatheart we have a problem with that tracker James who we sent to look for you. Apparently he has run off to get some revenge on a dear friend of mine's daughter. I believe you met her while you were away at school a couple weeks ago, Miss Alice Cullen." Aro said in a sweet voice.

I tried my best not to tear up at the sound of my ex-best friends name. "Yes father we met while I was there. Her and her whole family. What do you need me to do?"

"I need you go to go the Cullens and warn them. Protect them at all cost daughter. I owe Carlisle a great deal of respect and I do not want anything bad happening to his family." Aro said.

"Yes sir," I said. "Can I have Victoria with me?"

"Yes though I think that you could handle this one by yourself." He said. "But I know you have had a hard time already with the Cullens so I will allow Victoria to attend to help you through this because you are my daughter."

"Thank you father," I said as walked up and hugged him.

I ran down the hallway looking for Victoria to tell her to hurry up and pack that we would be going back to Forks, Washington on the next flight out of here. The next flight it turned out was in two hours. Gave us just enough time to pack and get to the air port. We were going to be staying in my old house because it had not yet been sold and all of my furniture was still there. It was a long flight and the stewardess on the flight just about got her head bitten off after the fifth time that she asked if we needed anything. This was going to be the last time I flew on a commercial plane first class or not. At least when we take the private jet people leave us alone.

When we landed in Seattle we grabbed a rental car and drove to the house. We unpacked and went for a hunt. Since we didn't know how long we would be for the time being Victoria would be hunting with me on animals. Not that she minded. She only hunted humans when she was at home because everyone through a fit if they thought other wise. The only reason I got away with it was because I was the princess. I hate being royalty.

After unpacking and hunting we settled in for the night. We figured it would be good for us to get back to acting normal so tomorrow I would be returning to Forks High with sister Victoria. I knew that this was going to be fun explaining to everyone where I was and why my sister didn't start school with me right away but we knew that if we just sat at the house then we would be going crazy. I made sure my shields was up high enough on me and Victoria and so that the Cullens would not know that we were here because they might not take it so well. That was just something we would have to deal with tomorrow night when we went to explain why we were even back.

This is going to be one crazy adventure that we have here.
