Thanks for all the great reviews!!!
Especially big thanks to AliceW, Miss Marielle and edwardsgirl879 (they are people who reviewed that I don't know in person)
I've had some questions about the story so I thought I'd answer them here
- Why did Alice join the Volturi? Alice joined when she was offered in hope of pursuing a different life and maybe meeting her mate
- Where is Jasper? Jasper does not exist in this story
- How is Carlisle going to help Edward? You find out later on in the story so if I told you now it wouldn't be a surprise now would it?
Anyway thanks again and heres the next chapter-hope you like it! I made it extra long to apologise for the last short ones.
Bella's POV
I wake drowsily from my sleep and struggle to open my eyes. I wish I could slip back under my warm covers and sleep with Edward's cold body next to mine.
Wait! Where is Edward?
This wakes me up and I am suddenly immediately alert. I jump to my feet and look around my small room searching for his perfect marble body.
But he was nowhere. My room felt empty and so did my heart.
I stumble downstairs (tripping over only twice-a new record for me) hoping to distract myself. I inhale quickly in shock when I see Edward sitting calmly at the table, a familiar sparkle in his golden eyes.
"I thought you were gone!" I gush as I run to him and envelop him in a tight hug.
"I can't leave you, haven't you learnt that yet?" His sweet voice is all I need to hear, my heart jumps
Quietly he chuckles and gently releases himself from my tight embrace.
*********
I ease myself into Edwards' Volvo, not wanting to hurt myself before the day really begins. Noticing that Edward is quieter than usual I ask him what is wrong.
He doesn't reply, just speeds up.
"Edward?" I prompt
"You're not safe. The Volturi could be coming for you tomorrow and I would have no idea. Without Alice you are so vulnerable. But I can't destroy your soul, never." My mind struggles to comprehend Edward's rush of words.
I'm scared. I hate being helpless. If only Alice was still here....
I miss Alice, much more than I let on. If Edward knew....he might leave again. I don't think I could handle that a second time.
Alice's POV
I walk restlessly down the corridor. Something is not right, I can feel it but I have no idea what it is.
Sometimes my visions are so vague. My latest was of Jane talking to a large coven, but I have no idea what coven it was and that worries me.
I try to assure myself that it was probably just Jane carrying out the law. Justice is a wonderful thing.
As I'm walking I have another vision. This is still of Jane but now she is running, running away from Volterra. Why?
I'm worried, what should I do? Jane is one of the Volturi's main members. If we lost her abilities we would be a lot less advantaged in fights.
If I talk to Aro he could ask Jane what is wrong. I don't want to go and see Jane because my visions might be wrong.
Realising that I have been unconsciously walking towards Aro room I speed up, eager to arrive and soon found myself staring at the ornate knocker on the door to his room.
Taking a deep breath I reached my hand towards the knocker just as the door flew open to reveal Aro with a grin plastered on his face.
"Did I surprise you?" he inquired
To tell the truth he had startled me but I'm not going to give in that easily
"No" I replied defiantly
Aro chuckled and stood aside to let me in.
After talking to Aro I felt assured that there was nothing suspicious happening with Jane. I tried to dismiss my negative thoughts about her but my 6th sense still told me something was wrong.
My 6th sense has never failed me before so I decided to go and ask Jane herself. Hopefully she would be able to satisfy my sense.
When I arrived at Jane's room I was surprised at the lack of door but then I remembered that Alec had been bothering Jane yesterday and she got mad at him. In result she used her power and he flew through her door, smashing it into many pieces.
Not sure how to announce my presence I softly called her.
"Jane?"
