Chapter 18
Summer rapidly progressed. It was one of the best summers in the history of my life. Chace and I hung out with Jason a LouLou and Lillie and all of my family. Summer was diffiently the best time of the year.
One day in mid July a phone call came for Chace. It was about six o'clock in the morning when the phone rang and Edward answered it. Chace was lying in bed with me and Edward thought to me
"Beth, the phone is for Chace, it's Aro.' The tenor of my father's thoughts was furious. I immediately became worried.
Chace sensed my tension and I just mumbled "honey, the phone is for you."
"For me? Who would possibly be calling me?" I just remained silent. Chace picked up the phone and I watched his expression change from confusion to anger in a matter of minutes. He slammed the phone back on the hook with so much force he broke my phone. I had never seen Chace so angry before. He was usually a fairly calm person but right now he was furious.
'I can't believe Aro had the nerve to summon me back to Volterra because they need to know the power of their new member. I can't believe this."
'Chace, love, calm dawn! It's okay!'
"Beth do you realize what this mean. They may keep me there! I can't be away from you that long.'
"You won't be away from me. I'm coming with you."
"OH NO YOU ARE NOT!" but it wasn't Chace that answered it was Edward.
"Dad why not? I'm old enough.' I told him as he bounded into the room.
"You are not going to Volterra!"
"Dad, I'm not going to let the big bad vampire get me. I can take care of myself I'm just as much of a vampire as you are."
"Yes, but you are also part human and can easily be attacked."
"Dad do you honestly believe that I won't see an attack coming and be prepared to defend myself. Have a little faith dad."
"Fine, Beth. Go. But if anything happens to you I am holding personally responsible. Do you hear me?" he said repeating the words that he once told my mother.
"Edward I won't let anything happen to her." Chace said with so much sincerity it was impossible to doubt.
Edward must have believed Chace because he left the room with out another word on the subject.
I looked at Chace. He opened his mouth to talk but I stopped him. "Chace, stop, nothing you can say will change my mind. I am going with you and that's that. I will not stay here worrying whether you are alright or not. Plus this should be an interesting trip.' I said smiling toward the end.
"Beth what are you thinking?"
"Oh Nothing." I replied. Chace let the subject drop.
We spent the day preparing for our trip
The next morning we left for Volterra and I had the same feeling I had when I was seven. I had the feeling that this trip was going to be similar to the previous one except the mysterious blacked boy would be right beside me with his arm around my waist and with golden eyes instead of red.
We boarded the plane and my family was all worried but I reassured them that everything would be fine.
The flight was long but I was content with using chace's chest as a pillow.
When we finally entered the city of Volterra, I saw the medieval castle and remembered my first thought of the castle, a place fit for vampires, the product of a nightmare. Wow, I really wasn't that far off.
