AN: So here goes nothing. I don't own twilight. I am sort of going out on a limb here. Let me know what you think. I also want to thank shay for the review. Remember review if you want to be up here.
Alice was furious with Bella. Alice had no idea what Bella was up to, but every time Alice saw anything happen it instantly changed into something else with a different victor. Alice had not prepared her family for a fight. Apparently Bella was offering them though. Bella's seat in the throne room was in the center making it seem as if she had all the power, but Alice saw Bella thrown across the room. She saw Bella kissing Edward, and she saw Bella dead. Alice was getting emotional whiplash from all the possible futures, but they all involved Bella, and surprisingly Edward.
Bella was making up her mind. Alice just hoped and prayed she did it correctly and soon.
Alice was looking through Bella's future when she stumbled across Bella writing a note. A note intended for Alice. She read that note over and over.
Alice I don't know if you will get this, but Aro is inviting the Cullen Coven to Volterra. It is a do or die situation. Edward needs to be here. Times are going to be changing. Tell Edward I love him. I always have and I always will. We are going to be a family again soon.
As Alice pondered the note again she went for the phone. Edward may not come for any family function, but if he is going to get to see Bella he will.
"Edward its Alice, don't hang up. We have been invited to Volterra to meet with the royal family. Hunt and show up. Somebody is excited to see you." Alice hated leaving messages so she made Edward pay every time she left one by making it super annoying. This time however she just left him wondering what the hell is going on.
Alice finally started to see a steady future course, which meant Bella had decided. Alice hadn't made up her mind if she liked the outcome or not.
Edward got Alice's message he listened to every single message anyone every left for him. He almost cried when she alluded to Bella. He probably would have if he could.
Edward knew he had hurt his family immensely over the last couple of millennia. He honestly didn't mean to. Bella destroyed his heart. He couldn't find the will to live after she left. He went on existing though. Bella had joined the Volturi so there was no way he could get them to kill him. Bella had trapped him so he ate and thought and hunted and thought, and for centuries all he did was ponder. He tried to figure out God and Existence. He tried to solve math, but his heart was screaming BELLA the entire time. He was stuck in her, and he couldn't get out.
So in the end Edward let his heart take over. It brought those perfect memories out and tormented him. He lived in solitude for nearly the entire time she had been gone. He had lived a simple cycle of hunt and think and hunt and wonder.
Edward was ready to face Volterra. This was his day. This was his Death Star. No matter the reason Bella left Edward was going to get her back. He was going to if it was the last thing he did. He knew going to Volterra was even more dangerous since the Cullen family had grown. He knew that the Volturi despised them, but he could not imagine Bella hurting any of the Cullens. He could only imagine her on his side, but what if she didn't choose him?
Edward hunted, and he ran. He knew where his family was. They were on the same continent, and they were only a day and a half jog away. He would be there in no time. He would simply stick to the trees during the day.
Edward ran as fast as he could. He ran because he finally after two thousand years had something he was running towards. Edward made it to his family's house in one half of a day. Alice had seen him coming, but she was still amazed.
Alice loved the fact that Edward looked the exact same as before. She loved seeing him with a purpose. She loved Bella if only for the fact that right now after 2000 years her brother, and her best friend, was back, and fully operational, as if nothing had ever happened.
Bella knew it was only a matter of time before the Cullens arrived.
She could smell battle in the air.
Everyone in the castle knew they were coming. None knew the exact time.
Bella waited on her throne she didn't feed for three days, and when the time finally came, and the doors of the throne room opened, Bella feasted on a sight she was afraid she would die never seeing again, her family.
Her heart soared at the fact that none of them hated her. At least if they did it didn't appear to be so. Bella got out of her seat and ran over to hug Alice. She wouldn't dare look at Edward, but when electricity started from her chin his hand brought her eyes to his. They locked, and everything in the world was right.
Aro clapped. He was taking control. Bella knew she was not going to like this part. This was when death came to those who were weak.
"Welcome Cullens. I see you are already acquainted with our queen."
Edward's eyebrows furrowed at that statement. Bella was essentially forced to sit on her throne once the moment was broken.
"Aro, I wish you to tell everyone in attendance here why I am your queen."
Aro fumbled. His plans had not involved any such thing. "My queen I am afraid I do not know why."
"Aro are you trying to tell me you forgot you knew who I was the day I walked into this very room more than three thousand years ago as a human teenager?" Bella's voice commanded the room as if it were hers rightfully.
"My queen I am afraid that you have me mistaken."
"Then why do you refer to me as your queen?"
"Because it is rightfully so."
"And tell this audience why!"
Bella motioned Aro to her side. He instantly came. She whispered gently in his ear, "tell them this instant, or else Marcus will know what you did to Didyme, Alec and Jane will both hear about how you dealt with their mates. I would also like to warn you that your mind is full of so many other things that are traitorous to yourself. I have access to all of them. Aro you know me as silent mind, but it is also a mirror. I can reflect your power back onto yourself."
Aro quickly righted himself and sat down in his throne.
"Now Aro, would you please explain to all in attendance here, why I am your Queen."
Aro bowed. "My queen is known to many here as Bella Cullen. She was previously Isabella Swan. She was born of Charlie and Renée Swan. She was clumsy. This is how most people here are accustomed to hearing of Bella Cullen's previous life. However, Bella Cullen is my mother. Bella is the Vampire that created me, and she started the Volturi. Bella is a reincarnation of the Vampire who made me. Her mind is silent. My creator told me she would return as a silent mind to me. I would have to trust her with true trust as opposed to reading her thoughts. When Bella was brought to me as a human she had no memory of me. She was unaware of her previous lives. She was not the Queen of the Volturi. I could not however let her be killed. I urged you to change her then. She aged another year before she was finally changed into a Vampire. She has told me that her reincarnations were accessible to her the moment her change was completed. She had memories of multiple previous lives. She is an old soul. She spent time with Edward to keep herself happy for a millennium or so. She then resumed her duties. She is the creator of the Volturi and of me. She is my Queen, and all shall bow to her as if she is the most precious thing of all." Aro bowed again at the end of his speech. The Cullen family tearlessly sobbed, and Edward would not even chance a peek at Bella.
Alice saw the situation subside. She saw all the violence evaporate. Bella had peacefully lead them out of the deep water. It was not over though. Something new was brewing.
Bella reversed Edward's mind reading ability on him. She saw that he was hurt, and that he didn't want to comprehend most of what Aro said. She heard his hatred and she shut her mind off. She turned off the treacherous thoughts he had. Bella saw the Cullen Fmaily, and she wished they were her own, but now she knew that they never would accept her. She was after all the original Vampire. She had doomed them all to this horrible fate.
Alice suddenly shrieked, "NO!"
AN: Cliffie, but if I get a few reviews maybe the next chapter will come up sooner.
