Chapter Twenty-Nine (Edelle's POV)
By the next morning, I had erased anything important from our friends' minds, or anything that could be dangerous to me, my family, Kyle or themselves. I realized now that my power was dangerous blessing mixed with a curse. Part of me realized I would probably have to erase Volturi's thoughts about me as well when I got back to Italy, but another part of me really didn't want to see Jane again, even if she didn't remember me in a bad light. I was traumatized, and I realized when I found our return tickets. I didn't want to go back, except for the fact that Kyle had to.
I heard a knock at my bedroom door and I smiled, "You can come in now Kyle."
He looked at me and whistled, "I can't believe Alice had a back-up dress for you."
"I'm not." I looked at him appreciatively, "My little human knight looks quite dashing." I admitted and he looked at himself critically, before coming over to stand closely in front of me.
"Who are you calling little?" He murmured, staring at me. I smiled up at him and kissed him lightly.
"Didn't mean anything by it. Um…how was your conversation with your parents last night?" I asked nervously, and he responded by rubbing the back of his neck in almost a sheepish manner.
"They know I haven't been home for the last few days. School called them personally while they were away to confirm my absences. They asked where, and I mentioned Washington. They were…a little surprised," I smirked at his thoughts. They were a little more than surprised, "My mom wasn't too impressed when I mentioned that I was with you, but she mellowed out when she realized we were here for a wedding. I didn't mention you being kidnapped by a psychotic vampire." He told me.
I grimaced, and he kissed the top of my head, "You'll be able to deal with it. The fear will go away once the problem has been resolved…you still are planning to come back to Italy, right?"
I shook my head slowly, "I guess I have to, you're there." I forced a grin on my face, but he saw through it.
"Jane doesn't remember what happened, and the rest of the Volturi is in the dark. You'll do okay, and if you don't…I'll blast music loud enough to be heard all over Italy."
That made me laugh, "Really? You'd do that for me?" I exclaimed and he smiled.
"Of course, I love you."
I smiled softly, "You sure you love me? You never know, this could just be a passing fade like all those other humans that are going through the supernatural craze."
He kissed me, "You're infuriating. Of course I love you. It's impossible, but if I'm your mate, it makes sense why I know this so quickly."
I tilted my head, "What about the future?" I couldn't help but throw questions at him, "Are you expecting to be turned? Are you wanting to live as a human? As a vampire you'd be a little bit dangerous to me, yet I'm dangerous to you now."
He shrugged, and it made me want to throw him across the room, "Does it matter? We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Personally, I think you need a little humanity in your life, so I don't want to be turned yet, or ever."
I looked at him suspiciously, "You're just wanting to be human so I can't erase your thoughts…your thoughts are on the same line as my family's when it comes to this—that the reason why my power doesn't work on you like it does on other people is because your power isn't "vampire-fuelled"
He pulled me close and kissed me again, "Does it matter? I want to be with you, and that's that. Can we please just leave it for another time, and enjoy your sister's wedding?"
I sighed, and fixed his tux, "Leaving things isn't good either Kyle. But I agree, let's…smile for Renesmee and Jacob, and look for ways to make sure this wedding doesn't go horribly wrong. Only Renesmee would be optimistic about werewolves and vampires being in the same place."
"At least it's outdoors…don't have to worry about the roof caving in." Kyle laughed, and I cracked a smile.
The wedding was beautiful, and it seemed like everyone was on their best behavior, thanks to Jasper. I was thankful for Renesmee having music playing throughout, for it allowed me to insure that every guest's thoughts were the purest of pure towards the other guests. By the end though, I was exhausted, but it was worth it to see Nessie's and Jacob's loving smiles.
During the reception, Renesmee had come over and I gave her a tight hug, "Congrats Sister. You've joined the ranks of child brides everywhere." I couldn't but tease her, and she hit me.
"Shush you." She looked at me, and I smiled softly.
"I'll make sure I'll be back in time for your return from the honeymoon."
She frowned, "I really don't like the idea of you dealing with the Volturi on your own."
I shrugged, "I'll be fine. I'll go in, wiping memories as I go… no one will be able to stop me. I'll be a walking mariachi band when I go. Jane got me unprepared, it won't happen ever again."
Renesmee was about to argue, but Kyle had come back with punch for the both of us at that point, so she directed her attention at him, "If you keep my sister in Italy with you all I can say is, fear my wrath." She told him pointedly, and he laughed.
"Trust me, once I graduate, we'll be back."
I blinked, and looked at him, "Really?"
He smiled back, "Sure. Now that you've found where you belong, do you think I can take you away from it?" He smirked, "Besides, with your family's income, we could fly back and forth every weekend and your bank account wouldn't even notice."
I kissed him, "You're too good to me." I told him with a smile, and he grinned.
"Really? Here I thought I was using you for protection and money in response to you sucking my blood."
I rolled my eyes and tugged him onto the dance floor. As I rested my head on his shoulder, I felt at peace. For the first time in a long time, I felt like I did belong. And all it took was killing someone, entering a villainous gang of vampires, meeting a delicious smelling guy who professed his love to me, and having a psychotic vampire torture me. I wouldn't recommend that for anyone else on their search for a place to belong. Just join a club. It's a lot easier to join a club.
