"Isabella! I understand you have a new found gift...we would like to offer you a place on the Volturi!" Jane continued with her childlike voice. I heard Carlisle growl quietly and Bella politely refused.

"Anna..." he began but Todd interrupted.

"She will be turned next summer!" he said fiercely and Aro raised an eyebrow but nodded. I gulped and held Rose even closer. Aro turned on his heel and just like that they were gone like wind...

I couldn't believe the Volturi had visited and there were no casualties! I was so happy, I honestly couldn't believe it! Everyone popped on a film and relaxed; I sat on Carlisle's lap comfortably when Alice's eyes went blank and she was clearly having a vision. Jasper rushed to her and talked her through everything until she'd finished.

"What do you see Al?" Jasper whispered urgently attempting to block the world out.

"She's made the decision...Todd!" Alice gasped and she returned to reality-Jasper hugged her tightly whilst she explained she couldn't tell us otherwise the future would change...everyone was worried but Alice was on edge all afternoon like she was waiting for something.

Carlisle looked at me worriedly and I cupped his cheek with my hand which always made him smile, I said nothing but my eyes always spoke volumes. I finally gave into my thirst and went hunting but I went alone as I needed some time to go through everything...I hid in the bushes awaiting my prey.

"Edward!" I snarled and turned to see my ex Edward Cullen. He smiled crookedly and sat on a log calmly as if nothing had happened, "what do you want!?" I growled and he held his hands up in surrender.

"I came to warn you! I saw Alice's vision of Anna!" he said quickly and my hostility disappeared, "Anna will hurt Carlisle! She's scared of the volturi so she lies about her changing and gets him killed...but you can change that. I'll help you get rid of her!" he stated and I nodded. No one hurt MY Carlisle. No one.

I saw Bella hunting alone and took it as the perfect opportunity...she believed every word I said. Just like Esme had planned-Bella had changed a lot-she was more confident than ever and didn't seem afraid only when I said Carlisle could die at the hands of Anna.

"I've got a plan. The Ballet studio in Arizona: Get Anna there by saying Todd's in trouble then I'll be there ready and waiting, it'll be full proof!" I exclaimed and Bella looked pleased and surprised, she shook my hand and agreed to meet at Arizona Ballet studio tomorrow at 9PM on the dot. I returned to Esme with pride.

"My dearest! She has agreed" I said simply and Esme turned to me with her head held high like a Queen.

"What a naïve girl! Doesn't she realise love isn't real!" Esme cackled and I joined in feeling freedom and insanity. However I still felt a sting of pain at the mention of Bella...I really did love her and i'd never meant to be abusive of unloving; i'd lost everything because of my own actions and I had paid the price.

"Edward I'm thirsty! Go get a human...preferably a girl, I want to practice for Bella's grand finale!" she smiled evilly but I knew the pain behind a smile all to well. I obliged and went searching for a good human. A good girl.
