Chapter 11

Charlie Pov

"Well that was interesting." I said to Bella in the few seconds we had before the others got into the car with us. When someone had knocked on the door a couple of days ago and we realized it was the Volturi I hadn't expected to be leaving in one piece.

"I guess we should be glad we got out in one piece?" Bella replied with a small smile as Jane and Demetri climbed into the front seat.

We stayed silent as the scenery flew by the windows. They were driving us back to the airport then from there we were going back to Alabama. From there we would decide where to go from there. I couldn't help but smile as I thought back to some of my conversations with Aro. He had wanted me to stay and join the guard but I hadn't agreed with many of their practices.

"You all prey on people when you could just as easily feed on animals. I can't agree to that." I had said when we were staring out a window after Jane and Bella had went to get her 'souvenirs' packed before we left. Jane was almost as bad about shopping as Alice, Bella had informed me.

"We could always have a Vegetarian Unit." Aro laughed at his little joke. He quieted quickly and turned to look at me. "When you were human would you have been able to thrive on tofu?"

I couldn't help the look of disgust that crossed my face and Aro once again laughed. "I understand your point of view as I'm sure you understand mine a little bit better now." he began to pace behind me. "I know you and Bella would like a few years to be by yourself but maybe you could come back to us after a decade or two. It seems a shame for you two to be out there by yourselves."

"Not by themselves sir." I cloaked figure walked into the room and set a small satchel on the floor in front of himself then knelled before his master. This was another thing I didn't like about the Volturi. He raised his head up and I saw it was Demetri. I was surprised at first, I had been expecting Felix since he seemed so enamored with Bella. This was one instant where I was glad Aro couldn't hear Bella and most of my own thoughts were a bit blurred for him. I was afraid for Demetri. I liked him but I didn't know how well his master would take him wanted to leave and join another coven.

Then Aro shocked us both. He broke out laughing. "I had expected this from someone but not from you." He said with his laughter still in his eyes. "You do realize you'll have to change your diet to stay with them don't you?"

"I have already started sir." Demetri said, raising his eyes and looking at Aro. "I did not find the task difficult."

"If I call for you will you come back to us?" Aro eyed him and I was surprised that he hadn't squirmed.

"For the length of the task yes. But I tire of this life master."

"Very well." Aro then turned to me. "I guess I am getting that Vegetarian Unit after all."

I laughed with him but stopped when he turned serious again. "I expect you to keep him in line. He may be older but I feel you are better to lead then him."

"I think you have a bit of a misconception here." I said as I looked at Aro. "It may not seem like it but Bella is the head of this little coven. I follow where my daughter leads."

Aro looked at me curiously. "Why does she lead?"

"Because she has lead this life longer then I have. Besides, Bella has a will that is stronger then most people. Once she makes a decision she follows it through and it's almost like she forces it to happen. It's always been that way."

Aro looked at me for a moment then stared out the window beside me. Demetri still knelt on the floor. Still as a statue. After a moment Aro looked back at him and smiled. "Why are you waiting? I'm sure Charlie doesn't want you on your knees." He laughed and walked out of the room.

I had turned back to Demetri and sighed as he stayed on the floor. "Get the hell up."

Bella walked into the room as I yelled at Demetri. She grinned but quickly hid it as he stood up. I looked over at her and said, "Well Bells it looks like you have an older brother."

She smiled and walked over to us, stopping to stand beside me and look at him. "You do know that it will be hard don't you. It's not just a matter changing your eating habits. You'll be tempted everyday and it will take a while for you to be able to not attack a human."

"I know." Demetri responded. He stood and looked at her straight in her eyes. "I tire of living here. In the constant excess that we are surrounded in."

"And the worst part is, you'll have to attend High School." Bella grinned as Demetri groaned.

We had left shortly after to go to the airport. We hadn't discussed where we were going afterwards but I knew we wouldn't be in Alabama for very much longer. The ride in the car was very slow by my standards. Maybe I've just gotten used to running. Bella and I had a truck at home but we hardly ever used it. We both felt it was a bit too slow.

Finally we pulled up to the airport and Jane, who was driving, simply pulled up the the doors and parked the car. She placed some sort of sticker in her windshield and walked inside with us. I gave her a questioning look and she smiled. "Now they know it's one of ours and won't take it or ticket it."

I shook my head and followed up to the counter. Jane spoke to the girl behind the counter and she handed her our tickets. "Here. The trip will take you about thirty hours, a little more then actually, and you'll have two stops. Best we could do though."

She handed the tickets to me and I handed them to Bella. I was done with paperwork for the moment. That was the one thing I didn't enjoy as a human.

She looked at the tickets and saw that our one flight was leaving in a few minutes. "We have to hurry." We all walked down to the gates and through security. Jane even followed us up to the boarding gates. "Bella. Why don't you and Demetri go on ahead. I have a few questions for Jane."

Bella simply nodded and they walked onto the plane.

"Well, what did you want to ask?" Jane said, watching me intently.

"Not really ask. I wanted you to tell Aro that in a few decades I may be back. I just don't want Bella left alone again. It would tear her up inside. And she wouldn't thrive here. Just tell Aro that I'll think about his offer." I had started to walk away when I caught sight of someone I had never expected to see. Not anytime soon at least.

As he came into view and I could see his bronze hair and almost black eyes I felt a growl well up in my throat. Jane stepped to the side as I began to advance on him at a human pace.

"Charlie?" Edward asked, stepping back as he realized who he was looking at. "But how?"

I didn't think I just acted. I took control of his mind and began to use my power for the second time in my vampire existence. "You will turn around and walk out of here normally. You will forget why you were coming here. Leave and go to the nearest forest and hunt. You forget what else you were doing for three days."

I watched as Edward stared in shock as his body began to betray him and he turned and began to walk away.

Jane smiled as he walked and laughed at me. "I don't think that worked as well as you expected."

"No. I don't think he'll forget anything. But maybe he'll leave us alone long enough to move from our home. We were mostly packed up before coming with you so now I'll just have to decide with Bella where we're going."

We shook hands and I turned and boarded the plane but not before she slipped something in my hand.

"Aro wanted you to have this." It was a small black package. "Don't open it till your on the plane."

I walked away from her and was soon sitting next to Demetri and behind Bella. I opened the small package to see a cell phone and credit card. What is it with vampires and just giving money away? I asked myself before reading the note that came with.

Take care of Bella. She almost feels like a daughter to me now. I am so glad I got to know her a bit better then the last time she was here. The funds are to keep her safe. Aro.
