"Eric Northman." I said, I bit down on my lip. I looked everyone, Dr. Cullen moved over towards me. I didn't know what else to say but Eric's name, they asked me how I go out, and I gave them an answer.
"Is he the one who helped you?" Dr. Cullen asked me. I nodded my head, I felt sick because the man who had me beaten within an inch of my life was the one who saved me.
Twisted isn't it?
"Bella, I hope that this is behind you. At least for now anyway, I have a feeling you're going to want to see Edward. I don't blame you either." I smiled at Dr. Cullen's comment.
*******the next day****
I had stayed over at the Cullens house to sleep, amazingly the had a bed that was probably the most comfortable thing I ever slept on. Then again, I was in a dugeon for you knows how long.
I don't get why they want me there in the first place, and what the hell was it they were saying about those ants? Bill told that the um, what were they called again, myrmidons, were ants turned into humans. Why would the Volturi want a bunch of humans for other than feasting on.
I thought for a moment, then it hit me.
"Esme, get everyone together. I need to tell you something now."

Edward's leg looked better, and the good news is it was daytime now. Hopefully this meant no werewolves. I got the shotgun that I was going to use on the werewolf intruder, and made sure it was still loaded.
I bent myself down to Edward's level. "Ok, we're going to get into my car, and we're going to drive. I know someone who might be able to help you." I didn't want to say it to him, but Edward Cullen was looking dead, well deader than he already was. "What if they attack us?" He sounded like he was going to burst into tears, poor thing.
Everything seemed to pause for a moment, he was right. They could still attack, just in human form now. "It's going to be ok, I got this." I showed him I still had the shotgun with me. I grabbed his arm, pulled him around me. He was limping but at least he was moving. The first step was getting to the door, that was easy.
My hands let go of Edward, to let him sit on the porch. "Stay here, I'm going to get the car for us ok?" He looked at me with these sick, puppy dog eyes. That seemed like a good enough "yes" to me.
My car was in clear sight, park half way in my dirt driveway. The wolves were not, whether this was a good or bad thing I don't know. I ran over to the parked vehicle, but something stopped me dead in my tracks when I went over to my driver's side.
A man, naked, had been sleeping on the door. He must've changed back when he fell asleep, just my luck. I turned around, there were four more naked men laying on the ground. All werewolves I assumed.
Shit.
I started to tremble a bit, but I made my way through the passenger seat. No one was woke up, thank god. Oh, c'mon. piece of junk car. I thought to myself as my car refused to start. It made this loud bang sound, that made me jump when the engine finally started. Unfortunately it didn't just startle me, but the wolfmen too. The one on the side, got up, snarled at me and started smacking his fist at my window. The others were getting up slowly, and tiredly.
I pulled my car in reverse as fast as I could. My last thought was destroying the porch, but I ran my car up there an way. I ran out quickly, and grabbed Edward. "We gotta go now."
I nearly threw him into the car, but I was getting worried. The men came running, and I pulled off my porch, and on to the dirt road driving as fast as I could. Not looking back.
Bella
Everyone was looking at me, like I was crazy. Was I shaking? Alice came to my side, "Bella you called this meeting remember? I can't tell what you're going to say because you keep changing your mind."
I was changing my mind, but I didn't know what to say. I just had to blurt it out. "I know what the Volturi are doing. Their building this, this army of ants. The only this is their not ants, they're going to be humans." Alice looked up, and everyone started at me. Carlisle stood up, almost in fear.
"You mean myrmidons? Their creating them, then going to turn them into vampires. The Volturi's are starting a war, but with who?"
