Bella's Pov
I couldn't bear to look him in the eye before, but as Alice spun the car around in a squeal of shrieking tires I just had to do it. I called out to him once more. "Take care of Charlie!", but Jacob wasn't there. Only a shred of white tennis shoe remained on the edge of the forest. I'm sorry Jacob. Was all that I could say to him after everything he has done to me. I feel so bad, how could I do this to my personal sun? I know I'm being selfish but I just can't let Edward go. I can't... he's my everything. I need him like I need air to breathe.
While on the flight to Italy, Alice calls Jasper to tell him our plan and explains that the visions in her mind keep changing. I felt Alice's gaze on me, I turned to look upon her. "Bella, you need to go and show yourself to Edward in order for him to believe that you are still alive.
Just hearing the thoughts from my mind won't be enough for him... you know how stubborn he could be sometime" Alice said with a pleading look on her face. Then she explains to me who the Volturi are and how serious the situation with Edward is. I was terrified, I can't believe Edward could be so dumb enough to even think about doing this.
I was about to ask Alice how long was this flight gona take but I changed my mind as soon as I saw the look on Alice's face. She's having vision. Alice came back to normal a few moments later. "What was it about" I asked with the hope that it's a good news "Bella, I had a vision of the Volturi asking Edward to join them."
"What?" I asked, is that a good thing or a bad thing. "Wait there's more" she continued "The conversation then turns to the many visions that I had of you being a vampire" she said with a guilt. I am going to be a vampire? That was all that mattered, I am going to be a vampire… my heart was filled with joy, at last I can be one of them. I can be in their family without being awkward… and at last I and Edward will forever be together. I did the next thing that I thought was right
"Alice. Please change me into a vampire right now... so that I could be able to help Edward, please" I begged her. " Bella it's not that easy like it seems" she then points out that it takes days for the venom to do its work and that she may not be strong enough to resist killing me to taste my blood. No why does this have to be this way... Alice tried to distract me from thinking about it a lot. Alice explains to me that Edward plans to walk out into the sunlight where everyone can see him. That would get the Volturi's attention enough to sentence him to death. "We have to reach the center of town before Edward steps out into the sunlight" Alice said while glancing at me to make sure I get it.
Showing off one of her many illegal skills, Alice steals a Porsche and drives to the center of the city. The place is crowded with people for the St. Marcus Day celebrations. Alice tells me that she will get us as close as possible, but I will have to make some of the distance on my own. Since the whole town will be crowed. We rush to save Edward, driving through the winding, crowded streets of Volterra.
Alice tells me that we must reach Palazzo dei Priori, the clock tower, where Edward will be waiting in an alleyway, getting ready to step into the sunlight. On our way, Alice bribes a guard with a thousand dollars to let us pass. We made our way through the narrow roads until we reached the point where the only way to continue the journey was by foot. Well I didn't think twice, I know this is dangerous but this is what I want. I want Edward...please I hope I'm not too that I said " Alice, I'm going" I didn't even wait for her response I darted out from the car, pushing my way past the crowd. I heard Alice said "be careful Bella".
I heard clock tower starts to chime, I'm running out time so I did what thought might help " Edward" I stared shouting without caring if people thought I might be crazy. I just hope that he will hear me and see that I'm still alive. I keep pushing myself through more people, and there I saw him, his pale skin, and his golden eyes. The one I longed to be with forever. I started yelling for him to look at me. He didn't hear me, so I charged at him, flinging myself against his body. I saw the look is his eyes, I think he is having difficultly believing that I'm alive as keeps speaking as if we were both now dead.
Once I have successfully convinced Edward that we were both still alive, I told him that we have to run before the Volturi arrives. Luck seems not be in my side, I saw two dark shapes heading towards us. Edward helds me close, he tries to tell them that their services aren't needed any longer, but they insist that both of us follow them.
They want me to come with them? This is strange... i heard Edward telling them to let me go, but again, the guy; Felix says that Aro has requested both of us to come along. Edward was stubborn, he tried to fight for my freedom, I was about tell Edward that its ok I'm willing to go with him but a girl came towards us. It seems her name is Jane; she was about 5ft, blonde and has a child like beauty. I don't know why but I feel she's dangerous. As soon as she arrives, Edward agrees.
Edward and I follow the Volturi, Alice joins us, on our way Alice explains to Edward that she had made a mistake with how she interpreted the vision of me cliff diving. All the time, Edward kept his arm around me, it was comforting. When we arrive at a small drain in the street, Alice slides down first to wait for me. Edward helps me down as Alice catches me. Edward joins us and again wraps his arms around me. He strokes my face and holds me tight against him.
The dark tunnel slants downward. They are led deeper and deeper into a cold, damp area. I didn't like this place at all. There is a grate at the end made of thick iron bars. On the other side is a room with a low, heavy door. As we entered, I felt Edward tenses up while still holding on to me. There we were in the Volturi castle.
While I was relieved to be out of the underground tunnel, Edward's tension increases. I notice that the vampires of Volterra have red eyes. I also notice a striking human, in the employ of the Volturi. I thought humans are forbidden to know their existence. Why was she here? Then a guy came to greet us. I learn through Edward the guy whom greeted us was Alec but Edward remains tense. I wish I know why he was still tense; Edward wants to confront Felix, but Alice stops him from doing so.
Jane and Alec lead us into a large room where Aro, who is one of the Volturi, and other vampires mingle. Aro greeted me and Alice as if he knows us, this totally surprised me, He seems quite excitable. Way different from what I imagine him, I thought he would be quiet and scary but he was the exact opposite but I wouldn't say he's a chatter box.
Aro then expresses envy for Edward's ability, and Edward explains the similarities and differences between his and Aro's abilities. Caius and Marcus arrive another two vampires. Although Marcus does not speak... which I don't know why but im curious to know. He allows Aro to touch him in order to communicate which Alice told. Aro shows surprise at Edward's ability to refrain from drinking the blood of his "la tua cantante" and refers to it as a waste. What's "la tua cantante"? Now he left me confused. Now the creepy part.. Aro marvels at how strongly my blood calls to Edward and says that Edward has surpassed Carlisle's self-control, which Edward denies. Well,.. this is getting awkward.
Ever so curious as I was to him, Aro wants to test his gift on me, he asked me to held out my hand so that he could read my thoughts. Well, he was surprised to see he didn't get see what he wants. I guess since he and Edward share a similar gift, that's why it didn't work on me. Next, he wanted Jane to test her ability on me. What did he think I was? A lab rat? To my surprise Edward steps between Jane and me to protect me, I didn't see that coming.
I tried to move to save Edward but my body ignored my command as if something was holding me back. I turned back to see Alice holding me back as I fought to get out of her grip.. I saw my love, Edward writhes on the floor in silent agony. Then Jane gaze was on me, I closed my eyes, I don't want see anything. But nothing happened, I didn't feel anything. As I opened my eyes I saw a very angry Jane...
Aro asks us, if we would like to join the Volturi. We all refuse. Then I heard, Caius insists that the law claims us, since I am human and I already know their secret. Edward argues, pointing out the humans involved in the Volturi operations. He tries to defend me but Caius explains that the difference is that the humans that get involved either will be changed or killed. Caius left Edward two options either change me or kill me. I hope he picks the first option.
Then Aro asks Edward if he intends to change me. I prayed he will say yes... Edward please yes...please...please. say yes... I can't live without you again. I can't go through it again. It hurts too much. But Edward remained quiet and he refuses to allow Aro to touch him in order to read his mind. What? Edward...i thought we were soulmates. He doesn't want me. I couldn't believe that he wants me dead. Well he didn't say it out loud but if he doesn't want to change me then he wants me…..
He wants me dead rather than I become a vampire. How selfish could he be? I came back to reality when I heard, Alice said out loud that I will become a vampire; she then let Aro read a future which she saw me as a vampire. I saw the look in Aro's face, he looked satisfied. Then I heard him say that we were allowed to leave. I was relief but before we left, I saw a beautiful lady with mahogany hair and crimson eyes, Heidi was her name. She arrives with a group of tourists; it looks likes they are here for sight seeing but why here? I thought…. I snapped out of my thoughts my heard loud painful screams. I was speechless, this horrified me. Then I felt pair cold icy arms around me, I turned to look, and it was Edward. In response I snuggled closer to him.
