Edwards Choice
Chapter 8
~ The Return ~
I decided to do another chapter. I think this will be the final one. Hehe hope you have enjoyed it and please review :D
Bella's POV
I woke up with Edward by my side...as usual.
"Morning" he said.
"Morning" I repeated.
"What do you want to do today?" he asked.
"Go round your house" I replied.
"Really?" he asked sounding surprised.
"Yep" I answered.
"Ok"
"Do you want to pick me up later, I'm going to get ready" I told him.
"Fine" he replied and kissed me.
"See you soon" I said.
He smiled at me as he exited through the window. I went downstairs in my pyjamas.
"Morning" Charlie greeted me.
"Hey Dad" I replied.
"You're up early" he told me.
"Yeah, I was thinking of going round Edwards if that is ok" I told him.
"That is perfect actually, I was thinking of going fishing with Billy" he replied.
I poured some breakfast and quickly ate it. I washed it up before I went upstairs to get ready.
"Bye Bella" Charlie called up
"Bye" I shouted back.
After I got changed and dried my hair, Edward knocked on the door. I assumed it was Edward because he was on time just to pick me up.
I ran downstairs and answered the door.
"Hey" I said.
"Hey" he repeated.
"Ready to go?" he asked.
I nodded and grabbed my bag while walking to his car.
It was a silent journey to his house but it was a comfortable silence.
When I got in the house Alice ran and hugged me.
"Bella, I am so glad that you are ok" she told me.
"Why wouldn't I be?" I asked.
She stared at me as if I was joking. "You were kidnapped" she reminded me.
"I know, but I'm here now" I told her.
She laughed and hugged me again but when she pulled back her face was blank.
I could tell that Edward was reading her mind...but his face dropped as if he was watching a horror movie.
"What is going on?" I asked.
Edward held me as the rest of the family came downstairs.
"Can someone answer me?" I asked getting scared.
"The...Volturi are waiting...by the woods" Alice said between gulps.
I knew my face had dropped in fear. I thought that this nightmare was finally over but I should have known it was only the beginning. I thought that I would have time to become a vampire before the Volturi came back...have time to prepare and attack them if it was necessary.
I was wrong.
A sudden quote came back into my mind 'The Volturi don't offer second chances'
"We have to go...they are waiting" Alice told us.
"I'll stay here with Bella" Edward suggested.
"No, I think it will be best if we all protect Bella" Carlisle told him.
Edward nodded and we made our way to the forest.
Edward held onto me as we ran to the field that they were in.
As we entered the clearing, I saw their angry face. They were ruthless...will stop at nothing. Everything felt tense...except Aro's face looked very calm...as if he knew that he was going to win the fight so no emotion was necessary.
We stopped and Edward put me down, still holding onto my side.
"Did you really think you could cross us?" Jane said angrily.
Aro looked at her...telling her to calm down.
"You went too far into our business and it had to be sorted out" Carlisle told them.
My breathing got faster...I was terrified.
I noticed the Volturi moving in closer and it looked like Edward noticed too because he edged backwards...ready to run with me if he needed too.
Everyone else moved forward hoping that the enemy wouldn't notice until they got so close that they were almost face to face.
"Now, I don't want a fight, but if it comes down to my family then I'll do whatever I have to" Carlisle told Aro.
"I see, my old friend, maybe we could negotiate a deal" Aro offered.
"The deal we already have is that we will turn Bella and that is the one I am sticking to" Carlisle told him.
"Are you sure you don't want to make a new one?" he asked.
"No, you have already broken rules and if you want that to go unnoticed I suggest that you leave" Carlisle said.
"Fine we will go, friends should not fight, but we will be back" Aro warned.
"I'm sure you will" Carlisle replied.
"But Master-" Jane started to say but Aro interrupted her.
"My dear girl, we will be back when the time is right"
She groaned in annoyance and glared at my family.
"You are very lucky, don't forget that" she warned and they left.
We went back to the house and I got everyone to go into the living room.
"You all know what I want and if we are going to keep me safe...then I need this" I told them.
Everyone nodded except for Rose, who was warming up to me but still didn't want me to be a vampire.
Edward still wasn't keen on the idea but I'll talk to him.
"We need to be ready...and I'm ready to start again...with my family" I told them.
They all smiled and I realised that we had another chance to beat the Volturi...but I would be a vampire.
This was my second chance
Eeep! The end of the story! Hope you enjoyed it and please review!
