Wow, two updates in one day. Three updates in two days. I'll probably be adding another chapter later on, sooo yeh (: Loads of updates because I have absolutely nothing to do, at the moment I'm watching charmed while writing this so it might not be as good as the others though so be warned.. I haven't decided exactly what's going to be happening in this chapter but I know they are going to meet Aro, then they are going into the city. Exciting? I'm thinking of putting some comments about charmed in.. maybe yeh I probably will.. Actually that's just confusing never mind lol :D
As I walked down the stairs, ready to face Aro. I prayed that he wouldn't be having another 'feast'. Maybe we could just avoid him, what did we have to say to him? Absolutely nothing. Alice had ran off to find Jasper telling us she'd meet us by the main hall. I watched as she ran down the hall, skipping happily to find Jasper.
(I'm so distracted lol taken me like 10 mins to write this, all Cole's fault he's way to fitt) I was in my own world as we got to the main hall. Alice was waiting by the entrance. I was surprised at how many vampires there were around. Tonnes of them everywhere. Well that certainly was odd. Edward knocked on the huge brown door. I heard a loud voice call enter and we all walked into the room, Nessie holding my hand and Edward holding my waist. Aro, Marcus and Caius were waiting for us. Sometimes I wondered if they had their own Alice. Someone who could tell them who or what or when someone or something was visiting because they always seemed to know.
"Is there anything you want my friends?" Aro called from his chair.
"Ssh!" Caius hissed at Aro, I had no idea why on earth he was telling him to shush. But.
"Renesmee wanted to meet you…" I said.
"and thank you for her party." Edward finished, as usual. Us we really were made for each other.
"Oh, about that my young friend. We were wondering why you left. You went to bed early." he asked, well stated more like.
"Renesmee wasn't feeling well, with all the blood around. So we sent her to bed." He said quietly. I laughed, he wasn't lying but it wasn't exactly the truth, Nessie wasn't tired until we mentioned it.
"Perhaps, I could see your evening myself. So I can stop it happening again, I don't want Renesmee to feel uncomfortable while she's here…" He began.
"No." I said solidly. Aro got up to touch his hand, "No." I growled. He went to touch Edwards hand that wasn't around my waist. I was furious, he wasn't going to get into Edwards head, not with me around. He looked at me in shock, I smiled.
"No." and then I smirked. I heard Caius hiss from his seat.
"Of course, I'm sorry Bella." He said, it was obvious he was embarrassed. I just laughed.
"Aro, I have a few questions about our stay." He nodded. "Well, I want to know what it is you want us to do," I asked.
"Just give our way of life a chance, that's all." He said. I nodded.
"And Also," Edward started, "I wanted to know If we can leave the castle, Bella and Renesmee want to go to the town for the day, will that be okay?" He asked, his voice like velvet.
"Of course young Edward, as long as your going to return." He answered, his menacing voice and dark. "And if you do, we will find you." He continued. We left then quickly and quietly, Edwards arm still around my waist and Renesmee's hand in mine. We walked through the dark corridors to the front door, Alice skipping along beside us, tugging a grouchy Jasper along with her. Suddenly I felt the need to get out, get away from this dark place, where everything is crimson and everywhere has evil. We rushed out of the castle to the light at vampire speed. It was easier to concentrate as I smelt the air, unpolluted by innocents blood. Wow. That was much better. I inhaled the air and I felt better.
"Hurry up Momma!" Nessie said tugging at my arms as I stood at the door beneath the clock tower, I immediately turned around. As did Edward, Alice and Jasper. Renesmee stood in the sunlight confused.
"One minute Ness," I said softly.
Most of my skin was covered up already, I'd put my hood up and put on a pair of sunglasses, easy. I saw Alice had the same idea. She pulled on a pair of leggings to cover her legs which were supposed to be bare. She had boots on so her feet were fine. Edward and Jasper were wearing jeans, jasper in a hoodie which he could put on. But Edward was in a blue shirt, the arms were ¾ length. I sighed, I really liked that shirt on him. He pulled on a leather jacket and some sun glasses and then again we left the room, all covered up, not an inch of skin showing anywhere but our faces. Which shouldn't receive much sunlight if any at all.
We walked along the coast, the beach was about a meter below the us. There was a raised platform that we could walk on. Towards the side there was a staircase so that people could get down to the beach, we walked up and down the platform for ages, just talking. We talked for hours, about everything, life, television. There wasn't a subject we didn't talk about. I longed to walk along the beach with my feet in the sand, but that would involve taking my tights and shoe's off but my legs were made of vampire skin. Vampire skin which sparkles in the sun. I was happy in my new life, but I wanted to do that so much It hurt, I had an idea. It was brilliant. I was going on holiday. In 1 week and 5 days, I was going to isle Esme and my whole family would be coming with me, I voiced my idea.
"Lets go to Isle Esme! With her permission of course." I said excitement obvious in my voice, "and we can walk on the beach and play in the sand without worrying about people seeing us sparkle." I was bouncing. And so was Alice, and very soon after so was Renesmee. Although she could play in the sun already. Lucky little sod, I laughed. I really did love her. With all the girls excitement Jasper looked like he might explode, to a group of outsiders Edward would look like the only sane person with us.
"That's a great idea Bella," Edward said softly, our eye's meeting. I felt weak already, he was beautiful.
"Yep, we should go shopping to get some holiday clothes!" Alice chirped, Edward exchanged a look with Jasper and Alice started again. "Jasper!" she sighed. And we all laughed. Nessie was walking along the sand now, he bare legs were glowing slightly, a little shimmer. I knew for a fact that there was a swimming pool at the castle so I made a mental note to teach her to swim and bring her back. Ness was busy playing in the sand so Edward and I twisted our fingers together, sat down on the platform and watched Nessie play in the sand. After 10 minutes she had made the best sand castle I had ever seen, It was of the castle. It was perfect! It even included the bell tower. It was about a meter high too. She really was amazing.
A passing couple came to talk to us, they were about 23 give or take a few years. The man was tall with messy blonde hair and dark blue eyes and the girl was a few inches shorter with light brown hair and brown eyes. She looked a bit like me when I was a human, but a little bit more tanned. The man started,
"Do you know that little girl?" He asked,
"Yes she's my daugh-" I was interrupted by a velvet voice.
"She's my sister." Edward said, oops. I almost told the couple that I had a 6 year old daughter, when I looked about 18. All a lie. I was 21 with a 3 year old daughter. They seemed to buy it anyway.
"She looks just like you," He commented and held out his hand, "I'm Joe."
"I'm Edward, this is my wife Bella, my brother Jasper and his wife Alice." He said pointing at us with his free hand with our names.
"Nice to meet you," Jasper said.
"This is my girlfriend Jess," Joe said quietly,
"it's a pleasure to meet you," she said, to a human it would have been a barely heard whisper. But we heard it. She must have been dazzled. "your sister is really cute," she commented.
"Thank you, Her name is Renesmee," He turned to our daughter, "come and meet Joe and Jess Ness." He called. Ness knew the script. When we met humans she called me Bella and her father Edward.
"Hello, my name is Renesmee." she stated loudly, her little voice was soft yet confident. They smiled and introduced themselves. They left a couple of minutes later after a sufficiently awkward conversation.
"They seemed nice," I smiled.
"Mhmm.." Edward said through barred teeth,
"What now?" I laughed.
"Well the man 'Joe' was with his girlfriend and still kept fantasising about you, even though he knew you were my wife. And the girl was hating on you because you were my wife. I was about to tear both of them to pieces." He ranted. I kissed him softly to shut him up, "thank you Bella," he breathed.
"My pleasure," I whispered.
After a long day I was ready to go home, Alice had taken Jasper shopping, promising to get Nessie, Edward and I some swimsuits and Ness played in the sand all day. I pretty much kissed Edward mostly but we helped Renesmee build some sand castles. It was starting to get dark so Edward decided it was time to leave. I agreed. We picked up Nessie and walked back to the castle, as usual. Nessie's hand in mine and Edwards arm around my waist.
