A special tanks to SparklingTopazEyes for giving me some great ideas.
^.^
The first part of this chapter is to set things in motion for the next chapter.
The second half is all major fluff-age!
And, new pictures up on my profile!
Light! Camera! …Read!
"Aro." I said out loud before answering. I shot a worried glance at Alice.
This is it, I can only hope for the best now.
I flipped opened my phone. "Hello, Aro."
"Ah, Isabella. How are you? It's been too long." His eerie, cheerful voice filled my ear.
"I'm fine, and yourself?"
"I'm well. I take it you already know why I'm calling. So, I'll just get on with business; The Human."
I held my breath. I hope Demetri got through to him.
"Isabella, I'm afraid we have ourselves a little predicament. You know very well that we must enforce our rules. There are very few options in this unique case. Where do you stand?"
I closed my eyes hoping with all my might that everything would go well.
"Aro, I give you my word. The secret will remain intact. There is and was never any threat of exposure."
"I do trust you, but I think your judgment is a bit clouded at the moment. The best way to deal with this is to eliminate the problem."
I clenched my fist. How could Aro even suggest such a monstrosity? Did he think I would even consider accepting that outcome? He knows very well I would not kill him. This is one of the many problems I always had with the Volturi. They would always rather murder anything or anyone that stands in their way of their precious 'laws'.
It took all the strength I had to force out a calm and collected response.
"I'm sorry, Aro. But you know my reasons for not agreeing to do anything like that."
I took a deep unnecessary breath and closed my eyes again, anxiously waiting for his reply.
"I had a feeling you'd decline." He paused. "The other option is to change him."
"I can't do that either, Aro. I'm sure from what information you've gathered from Demetri, that you know that option is also void." I felt as if my anger was wearing thin. Aro must know that I wouldn't accept either of those options.
"Yes, I know. But I thought I'd give you all the possible options before you agree to anything."
I felt a chill spread throughout my body. I had a feeling he had something wicked planned.
"Please, spare me from any more anticipation, Aro. What is the option that you expecting me to accept?" He laughed, which sent more chills up my spine.
"You see, that is why I liked you so much. Always so blunt. Well, your final option is more of a…compromise."
"A compromise?" I asked skeptically.
"Yes." I could almost hear the smile in his voice. "In return for your human's life, you must first return to Volterra."
My stomach tightened. How could he ask such a thing?
If I could get sick, I'd feel extremely nauseous.
"Not permanently, of course." He added. "I have a special task for you. I'm building a new special guard that I would like for you to train. And accompany them on their first missions. Once you are here I will evaluate your case and decide if you are capable of keeping this human in check. Do you accept my invitation?"
"Invitation?" I sneered. "It's practically a demand!" I wanted to scream at him, but I knew that would make things worse.
I couldn't believe he was backing me into a corner. He's using me again!
I sighed.
This is for Edward. I have to do whatever is necessary for his safety.
"Done." I said with defeat in my voice.
"Marvelous! I'll begin the arrangements for your arrival."
"How long, Aro?" I asked with my jaw clenched.
"How ever long it may take." I nearly growled at his answer. "But I say around three or so months."
"Three months?!" My heart sank.
Will I be able to stay away from Edward for that long?
This is for him. I reminded myself.
"There will be a private jet waiting for you at the Seattle airport tomorrow at 2pm. Don't be late." He said sternly and then hung up without another word.
Tomorrow?
This is horrible...I've just found my happiness and now it's going to be ripped away from me.
No! This is for Edward!
I have to convince Aro. I have to save Edward.
"Bella…" Alice trailed off. "are you sure?" she looked as if she could cry. I could only nod in response.
"What's going on?" Edward asked concerned from the front seat. Then I heard him gasp and he was angry.
"No. No! Bella, you can't do this. I know how much you hate that place. You don't have to do this…" he pleaded.
"I have to, Edward. There's no other way." The look in his eyes were full of sadness.
I hated myself for putting him through all this. If I hadn't come to Forks, the Volturi wouldn't have come looking for him.
I'll do whatever it takes to make him safe again.
The rest of the drive back was in silence.
When we reached the house Esme was out on the porch swing in Carlisle's arms. Carlisle straightened himself up as he saw our serious expressions.
"Is something wrong?" He asked.
"Carlisle, we need to have a family meeting." Alice announced.
Carlisle nodded and we followed him to the large dinning room.
"Rosalie. Emmett. Jasper." Carlisle called out.
They all showed up a second later and took their seats at the table.
"Please Bella, sit." Carlisle motioned to the front end of the table as he took his seat at the opposite end.
"So what's the meeting for?" Emmett asked.
I sighed.
"I got a call from Aro about an hour ago." I paused.
"So, what's the verdict?" he asked anxiously.
"He gave me three options. The first was to," I winced. "…kill Edward."
Rosalie growled. "How dare he!" She snapped.
"Rosalie stop growling. Let her finish." Esme said sternly.
"Of course I would never consider that option." I paused briefly as I collected my thoughts. "The second…Is to change him." I frowned.
"Well that's good news then!" Emmett boomed. "He was going to be changed after graduation anyways. We'll just have to do it a little earlier than planned." I shook my head and looked at Edward with pleading eyes.
Edward, you have to tell them…
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Emmett. I don't want to be changed."
Esme, Rosalie, Emmett and Jasper all gasped and turned to look at him.
"What?!" they all said in unison.
How will I be able to bear losing another child?
Poor Esme looked heartbroken.
This is the best decision he's ever made. Rosalie thought. If I were ever given the choice, I would stay human.
"Everyone settle down." Carlisle said calmly. He looked at Jasper and I felt a cloud of calm fall over us all.
He nodded at Jasper. "Everyone, this is Edward's decision. If that is what he wants, then so be it. Now Bella, please continue." I nodded.
"The 2nd option is now void. There was only one left." I looked down at my lap. "Aro wants me to go back to Volterra and join the Volturi once more."
I could feel their grief and sadness as I spoke.
"He claims that he only intends on keeping me there for about three months to train a new guard, but I know how Aro's mind works. He's doing this hopping that I will decide to stay with them afterwards." I clenched my fists. "He says that once I'm there he will officially decide what to do about Edward based on my memories and my loyalty to them."
I looked up to see their reactions. Esme, Alice, and Edward were extremely sad. Carlisle appeared disappointed. Rosalie was happy about Edward's decision but still I could feel her worrying about him. Emmett and Jasper were furious, completely pissed off. I forcefully pushed away all of Jasper's gift from me.
"That's such an unfair ultimatum!" Jasper hissed.
"So it's either Edward dies or you go stay with them for three months. And even then, there's still the possibility that they will kill him regardless?" Emmett growled. Over my dead body.
"Emmett, it's the only way. I'm fairly certain that Aro will trust me enough to at least consider my request. And I'm sure Carlisle's friendship with the Volturi will have some kind of influence on their decision as well." I said.
Carlisle nodded. "When does he expect you to leave?" he asked.
"Tomorrow afternoon." I answered.
"What? Why so soon? I just got used to having you around all the time! This is going to suck…" Emmett frowned.
"The sooner I go, the faster I can get back." I said.
Though, I was a little worried of what Aro will have planned for me. It scared me to think of what he might do to keep me separated from the Cullen's.
Edward immediately turned to look at me.
What do you mean…Why does he want to separate you from us?
I sighed.
"From what Demetri told me during his visit, Aro has been concerned that your coven has grown too large, Carlisle. And he knows how powerful I am with all the powers I have absorbed over the years. He fears that I will help you all to overthrow their rule one day. You know, like they did to the Romanians." I shook my head. "But, I have no such desire to take on the Volturi. I am still loyal to them. They did save me after all."
"That's ridiculous!" Jasper snapped. "Is he that corrupt to believe one of his loyalists, of more than a century, will turn on him so easily?"
"As I have said before Jasper, Aro has always been very paranoid. He doesn't like different. Even if he does trust me, he will always still be paranoid about my ability. He wants me back on the guard to keep a watchful eye on me. He wants my power on his side just incase anyone dared to over throw them. He covets me."
"He sounds like a tool." Emmett grimaced. "Bella, I'm gonna miss you." He said frowning.
"We all will." Alice said with a sad smile.
"Bella, may I have a word with you?" Carlisle asked. I nodded and followed him into his study.
"Is there something wrong?" I whispered as I sat in one of the chairs by his desk.
"No. I just wanted to say thank you." He said as he took his seat at the desk.
I smiled.
"You've done so much for us and have brought all of us endless joy." He grinned.
Esme walked in and stood next to Carlisle and placed her hand on his shoulder.
"Bella, we are eternally grateful for everything you've given to us. We just want you to know how much we love you and are extremely happy to have you in our lives." He continued.
"I love you as if you were my own daughter, Bella. And the others already see you as a sister." Esme said with a loving smile.
If I could blush, I would right now. I've never felt so loved. I feel like I finally belong somewhere. I felt like a fit in perfectly.
"Really?" I asked.
"Of course we do, Bella!" I heard Emmett call out from the living room.
Then I heard a loud thump. "Shut up, Em! They're having a private moment!" Rosalie hissed.
I smiled.
Esme's smile widened and Carlisle chuckled.
"Bella, Esme and I have been talking about it for awhile now, and we'd like to propose something." He paused and I anxiously waited.
"When you return from Volterra, We'd like for you to move in with us and become part of our family."
My jaw nearly fell to the floor.
"You want me to be part of the family…" I said wide-eyed.
I can't believe it. This is more than a dream come true. It felt so right. Could I feel any happier?
"…I would be honored." I added with a huge grin.
Before I knew what was happening I was in a tight embrace and being swung around. Emmett had me in a bear hug.
"Welcome to the family, Bella!" He boomed.
I smiled and hugged him back. He set me on the ground again and I turned back to Carlisle and Esme. They looked so happy too.
Esme walked over to me and gave me a soft hug. Nothing like Emmett's but still just as wonderful. As she stepped away Carlisle put his arm over my shoulder and gave me a one armed hug as he ruffled my hair. Then the four of us walked down to the living room.
Bella, I'm glad you're officially our sister now. Jasper thought as he gave me a loving smile. I winked at him.
"Hey! I saw that." Alice said. "Not going to steal away my husband now are you?" she said playfully. She rushed over and jumped on me nearly making me fall over.
I'm gonna miss you, Bella. I'm going to have major Bella-withdrawal once you're gone.
She hugged me tighter as she thought.
"Alice, why don't you give me sometime to welcome our new sister?" Rosalie said.
We both looked at her in disbelief and Alice jumped off of me.
Rosalie came over to me and pulled some hair out of my face twisting it behind me ear.
"Welcome to the family, sis." She said sincerely as she leaned in gave me a quick kiss on the cheek.
I was in awe. I couldn't believe it. She was finally warming up to me. I grinned and gave her a sudden hug. She laughed.
"I'm sorry I've been such a pain to you, Bella. I've just always been very overprotective with Edward. I've now realized how much you truly care about him, and our family." She smiled. She then walked away and sat next to Emmett on the couch.
I looked around the room and then felt a sudden pang of sadness.
"Where's Edward?" I asked.
"He went outside by the river." Alice frowned.
I excused myself from the room and went into the backyard to look for him.
He wasn't too far away. I followed his scent about a mile out along the river's edge. He was sitting in the grass throwing stones in the water.
"Hey." I said sitting next to him.
"Bella…" I hate this.
"Me too, but you know this is the only way…"
"I know, but I still hate it. I hate knowing it's my fault that you have to go to the one place you can't stand to be." I'm pushing you away from your sister, your new home, from…everything you've ever wanted. "You're finally getting your 'normal' life and I'm pushing you back to that dreadful place."
No, Edward.
"It's not your fault! It's mine…If I wasn't here, they would have never come."
He let out a sarcastic laugh, "Your fault? How can this possibly be your fault, Bella? You've done nothing wrong. It's my fault. Don't you dare feel guilty." He shook his head and stood up and turned away from me. "If it wasn't for my presence here, you and the rest of them would be safe. My life isn't the only one at stake here. They might want to kill all you for treason. Have you not thought about that? Bella…what if they kill you for wanting to keep me alive…I can't lose you."
"Edward…Everything will be fine." I will do everything in my power to keep everyone safe. Please, don't blame yourself.
I swiftly walked up behind him and put my cold hand on his shoulder. He shivered so I was about to pull it back when he put his hand over mine.
He took my hand in his and turned to look at me. His other hand cupped my face. I felt his warmth run from my face throughout my whole body. I closed my eyes to swim and enjoy the heat he provided. When I opened my eyes he smiled but it didn't quite reach his eyes.
He tried to pull away his hand from my face, but this time I put my own hand to stop his and kept it on my face. It made my whole face tingle. It felt as if I was blushing, well at least from what I can remember what a blush feels like.
He chuckled lightly. I wish I could see what you would look like blushing. I'm sure it was a beautiful sight to see.
I smiled and thought of one human moment I could remember of what I looked like blushing.
He gave me a crooked smile as he saw my mental picture.
"More beautiful than I could have ever possibly thought."
I felt like blushing, I wished more than anything to blush for him now.
I quickly embraced him in my arms. I held him as if he were a delicate porcelain doll, so beautiful and fragile. His skin was soft, smooth, and he let out the most comforting warmth I had ever felt. His sweet aroma filled my senses. Even though he smelled just as appetizing as ever, I enjoyed taking in his fragrance without wanting to sink my teeth into him. I breathed in deeply trying to imprint his scent into my mind so I would never forget it; honey and roses.
He buried his nose into my hair. …and you smell of freesias and lilies.
I pulled my face unwillingly from his shoulder, were it previously was, to look into his beautiful emerald eyes. "I always keep forgetting..." that you can read my mind.
He chuckled.
"Come on, We should be getting back now. I'm sure everyone's waiting for us at the house." I said.
He nodded and we walked slowly back to the house. He kept my hand in his, refusing to let me go.
That night we all just sat around the living room talking, laughing, and making arrangements of having all my things moved from my apartment into the spare bedroom at the Cullen house.
I saw that Edward was trying really hard not to fall asleep. He kept his gaze on me the entire time. It looked like he was even trying not to blink, in fear that I might be gone if he does.
Edward, you need to sleep…
I'll be fine, Bella. I don't want to waste any minute of the time I have left with you.
Please? You look dead tired. I really think you should get some sleep. Besides I have until 2pm tomorrow. You should get at least a couple hours of sleep in.
Bella…
I'll stay with you as you sleep if it makes you feel any better…
He smiled.
Alice stood up and pulled Jasper along with her. As she passed me she winked and tugged Jasper up the stairs. A few moments later, Carlisle and Esme left towards the kitchen. Rosalie lay on Emmett's lap and they looked completely lost in each other. Edward stood up and took my hand and led me to his room.
"I need a human moment. I'll be back as soon as I can." He said as he gathered some clothes and walked off to his bathroom. I heard him turn the water on.
I pushed away his gift from mine to give him privacy as he showered.
I heard Alice's light foot steps walk up to Edward's door. I walked over and opened the door.
"I thought you might need these." She whispered.
She handed me a silk night shirt and matching silk shorts.
"I figured you'd want to be a little more comfortable if you were going to be lying there all night." She smiled.
"Thank you." I said taking them from her. I kissed her on the cheek and then she walked back to her room where Jasper was waiting for her.
I took off my clothes and slipped on the silk top and shorts. It felt so soft against my granite skin.
I walked over to Edward's closet and pulled out some extra sheets. I lay in his bed waiting for him to come back. I absentmindedly played with the charm bracelet he gave me, admiring each charm individually. It truly was the most unique and beautiful, heart-warming gift anyone has ever given me.
I was so caught up in my thoughts I didn't even notice Edward across the room looking at me intently. I shot up and sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed.
"Did I startle you?" He asked with a smile.
I smiled back at him.
"You look lovely." He commented as he took in my new attire. He had shorts and a t-shirt on, but still looking as handsome as ever.
I moved out of the way and pulled the covers up from the bed and motioned for him to lie down. He walked over and got comfortable. I pulled his comforter over him and I lay on top of it facing him.
After a few moments of just looking at each other he spoke.
"Thank you." He whispered.
"For?"
"Everything." He managed to get out before yawning.
I wasn't sure what everything was but it was me who should be thanking him.
Thanking him for the happiness he's given me, for awakening a side of me I never thought existed. The more time I spent with him, the more I felt my human characteristics coming back to me. Love being the strongest emotion to fall over me.
He reached over and traced my jaw with his finger tips. Then he let the back of his hand brush over my cheek before he knotted his hand through my hair. He then let his hand fall over my waist and closed his eyes as he dozed off in to a pleasant sleep.
I kept my eyes firmly placed over his angelic face and hoped with every fiber in my body that I would return to him again one day. I couldn't help but dread my journey to Volterra. I knew I could live through three months away from him because it was necessary so I could do everything in my power to make sure he was safe. But I doubted I could leave his side for much longer than that. I feared Aro would succeed in keeping me away from him.
I pushed my thoughts of Aro and Volterra away and just kept taking in the beauty that was before me.
"I'll keep you safe, my love." I whispered as I got closer to kiss his forehead.
The night seemed to end too quickly. And it felt like the morning was drifting away in seconds.
When Edward finally woke up, his eyes fluttered open and he smiled as he saw me.
"Hey." He breathed.
I smiled. "I'm going to make you breakfast."
"Sounds good." He said as he closed his eyes again.
He still had his arm around me and made no movement to lift it and pull away.
"You know, to make you breakfast, it requires for you to let me go."
His lips pulled into a crooked grin and pulled me closer to him.
I smiled. I didn't want to get up either. I enjoyed this new comfort of his warmth upon my skin.
But then his stomach betrayed him. It grumbled.
I giggled. "So, how does pancakes sound?"
"Perfect." He said as he unwrapped his arm from my waist pulling both his arms behind his head and opening his eyes to look at me again.
I got up and made my way to the kitchen. I made him more than enough. I always outdid myself even though I knew I was only cooking for one. As the last pancake was on the stove I rushed to change into the clothes Alice had left in the downstairs bathroom for me. I got back to the stove and flipped the pancake in the air just as Edward walked in. I took a plate out and placed a stack of them on it for him. I grabbed the maple syrup and placed it with the plate on the table for him.
"Smells delicious." He said as he sat down. He picked up the fork and started eating. I sat in the seat next to him with my arm on the table propped up cupping my chin with my hand just looking at him.
"I'm going to miss your cooking." He said taking in a big bite.
I smiled but felt like sobbing. I was going to miss everything about my Edward.
Alice came into the dinning room with Jasper.
"Good morning, guys." Alice chirped.
"Morning." I said.
"We were thinking that, maybe we should all do something together one last time before you have to leave…" she said.
"What do you have in mind?" I asked curiously.
"Esme and I came up with the idea that each of us should make or give you something to remind you of us while you're there." She smiled.
"That's a great idea."
I took Edward's now empty plate to wash it. Edward got up and went upstairs without saying a word. I went over to the sink and washed the plate quickly before going into the living room where everyone else was waiting.
There were a bunch of photographs spread all over the coffee table. Rosalie, Alice, and Esme were kneeling in front of them going through them.
"We're going to make you a scrap book with a bunch of our pictures in it." Esme said with a big smile.
Emmett walked over from the couch, picked me up, and pulled me over his shoulder. I giggled as he ran me up to his room.
"Em! What are you doing?" I laughed.
"I just wanted to give you something in private." He whispered. "…but everyone would laugh if I gave it to you in front of them." He pulled a floor board up in the corner of the room and pulled out a stuffed grizzly bear plushie. ***
"Aww…" I said softly. "Thank you, Emmett. It's adorable!" I hugged him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He smiled and ruffled my hair.
I walked to Alice's room and put Emmett's gift into a duffle bag full of my clothes. Alice had gone to my apartment last night to pack for my trip to Volterra.
As I was about to walk out of the room Jasper walked in.
"Good, you're here. I want to give you something…" he said as he walked over to his bookshelf. I gasped as the book he handed me.
"Oh my God, is this…"
"Yes." He grinned. "An original 1st Edition copy of Wuthering Heights"
I stared at him wide-eyed. "How in the world did you get your hands on this? You were like 4 when it came out!"
He chuckled. "My grandmother received it as a gift. I inherited it from her after she passed away when I was 17. I saw you a couple of days ago reading a dainty ole' paper back version. This one," he taped the cover lightly. "is much better." He flipped open the book and there was a handwritten note in ink on the inside cover.
'To my dearest friend Catherine,
Thank you for believing in me. I owe you so much.
With Love, E.B.'
I gasped.
"No way…" I said in disbelief.
"I take it you like the gift." He laughed.
"Jasper. Holy shit, seriously…I can't believe you have this… and it's actually signed by her!"
He kissed my forehead and walked away.
I stood there for a few minutes still completely in shock. This was insane. I will definitely make sure this book stays intact for the rest of my existence.
I wrapped it in a velvet sheath and tucked it away in my bag, then made my way downstairs.
It looked like Esme, Alice, and Rosalie were almost finished with the scrap book.
"Now Bella, I think you should wait to look at all the pictures at a later time. It would be more special if you looked through all of them once you're there, so you could take in its full affect when you're missing us." Alice said.
"If you think that's best." I said. I was a little anxious to look at it though. I noticed some of the pictures that were on the table before had me in some of them and I didn't even know they had any pictures of me!
"We need to take a family picture for the front cover though. So, everyone gather around!" Alice called out. "Edward! Get down here!" she called upstairs.
A few seconds later Edward came stomping down the last step.
Alice took out her digital camera, set it for a 10 second delay, and placed it on top of the mantle over the fireplace. Everyone gathered around a few feet away. Esme and Carlisle were at the far right. Jasper and Alice stood to my left. Rosalie and Emmett were behind me. And Edward stood beside me. He gazed into my eyes as the camera clicked the seconds away before the shot. He quickly took my hand in his and smiled brightly turning back at the camera. I did the same. The camera snapped the shot and then Alice rushed to her computer to print out the picture.
Edward pulled me aside to one of the leather couches. He then handed me a small green ipod. "I put a lot of yours and my favorite music on it." I smiled. "And also, there's a recording of the piano piece I wrote for you in there along with other pieces I've played."
He gave me a crooked grin and my heart melt.
"It's not Bronte. But I thought it was a fairly good thing to remind you of me."
"It's perfect Edward. Thank you so much." I said as I wrapped my arms over his neck. I don't know how long I kept him there but it must have been awhile because I wasn't aware of time and I only noticed I was still hugging him when Carlisle coughed for our attention from across the room. I let him go and faced Carlisle.
"I'm sorry, but we must get going to get you to the airport on time. It's getting late and you need to be at the airport at least by 1:30pm." He said.
I frowned and ran upstairs to grab my bags. I came back down to see everyone start to file out of the house. Carlisle and I were the last ones in the house. I stood next to him
He pulled out from his pocket a gold pocket watch. "I've had this for over a century and a half now. I bought it for my stay at the Volturi castle. I had it engraved with my family's crest." He chuckled. "It annoyed me that no one ever knew the time there. There were never any clocks around. I bet they still don't have any up." He handed me the watch. "I want you to have it for two reasons. First, so that you don't have to ask those vapid guards for the time and Second, so that when you're feeling alone and out of place, you'll have something to remind you that you're now a Cullen." he said then winked at me.
He walked out of the door way towards his Mercedes. I gave one final glace at the familiar home, took a deep breath, and walked out closing the door behind me.
Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, and Rosalie took the Mercedes while Edward, Alice, Jasper, and I where in the Volvo.
We made it all the way to Seattle without a word coming from any of us. I was thankful that Jasper came with us because there was a constant blanket of peacefulness hovering over us.
We reached the airport at 1:30pm exactly. I knew this was it, I had to say farewell.
I went around to everyone and hugged them once more. Edward was the last one.
I walked over to him and kept my head down. I really wish I could stay with him. I just knew being away would tear me apart.
He placed his hand under my chin and tilted my head up to look at his face.
"Keep your chin up, love. It'll only be three months. Then things will get back to normal." He smiled but it didn't reach his eyes. He embraced me in a hug and kissed the top of my head. It took everything I had to pull myself away from him.
Alice walked over and put her hand on the middle of his back and he put his arm over her shoulder. They both looked so sad to see me go.
I took one last glance at everyone and walked away to board the jet the Volturi had sent here.
I walked on the plane and sat in one of the big leather seats. I closed my eyes and leaned back into the head rest.
I pulled out the watch Carlisle gave me. I glanced down at the it and admired the intricate designs of the family crest. I flipped it over and saw the word 'Cullen' engraved in beautiful script on the back.***
I smiled.
The sooner I get this over with, the sooner I can get back to my family.
My family.
I like the sound of that.
I hope I didn't lose any readers with all the major fluff-age I gave you guys here! Lol
I love me some Cullen-fluff!
And I had the idea to include sometime where the Cullen's would give Bella each a gift. And from the very beginning I based it all with wanting Jasper to give Bella the Bronte book! I thought it was cute. And we all know how much Bells likes her Wuthering Heights. ^.^
***Pictures of these are on my profile.
Hope you did like the chapter though!
The next chapter will be Bella in Volterra and what the Cullen's do while Bella's away.
If you guys have any suggestions on what should happen within those 3 months, send me a private message with your ideas! You might just get your idea put in my story! =D
