"She had an army?" I interrupted in shock as Jasper told me all that had been going on. "No freaking way!"
"I'm afraid there is a way." Jasper said.
"A newborn army at that." Added in Emmett. "Not that I couldn't take them." He flexed his muscles then. Everyone else in the room rolled their eyes.
"Anyway, while me and Caius went back to help the others. Marcus brought you to the jet and then when we where done with Victoria's army we all boarded the plane and brought you here." Jasper summarized. I imagined had I been there what happened would be much more exciting and dramatic, but I basically got the gist of what happened. Or at least what anyone was willing to tell me.
"And as for my final question: where is Victoria?" I asked.
"Dead." Spoke Caius for the first time sense we had returned.
"Who killed her?" I had faintly been hoping they wouldn't have killed her and I could do it myself. But I suppose her being dead was enough. Still I wish I had been the one to avenge Charlie.
"I did." Caius said, his voice full of pride. Well more pride then usual.
"Good job, babe!" I said, giving him a high five as he smirked.
"Be careful, Bella. Don't want his to get to big. It might pop." Laughed Sulpicia, most of us joined in. Besides Caius, of course. Because if their was one thing he couldn't do it was laugh at himself.
"Are you ready Bella?" Asked Alice entering my room then, with several notebooks and files in her hands.
"For what?" I asked, my eyebrow arching.
"To plan your..wedding!" Shes said, the last word coming out in a squeal.
_3 months later_
"Are you ready, little one?" Marcus asked as we stood behind the doors that separated us from the throne room.
"Ready to put up with a life time of your brothers whining? Hardly." I said letting out a small, nervous giggle.
"It'll be fine," He assured me.
"Promise?"
"Promise." He said, nodding.
Gripping a pretty, pale blue stone necklace that Charlie had given to me I looked up to the ceiling. "I love you, daddy." I murmured. Then the "Here Comes The Bride" song started and the doors burst open to reveal a completely new throne room almost drowning in white lilies and red roses. It nearly took my breath away. Alice had done a remarkable job. I knew little about weddings and Caius couldn't be bothered so most of the planning had been left to Alice, although I got the feeling she didn't mind.
Every vampire in the world must have been in there, that might be a little dramatic. But there were quite a few I had never meant. In fact I'm pretty sure that I only knew about half of the people in the room maybe a little less then half.
But then my mind was no longer on banners or flowers or even party guests. Caius had turned then and my mind was solely on him.
If Marcus hadn't been their to keep me at a decent pace, I most likely would have ran to him and ruined the whole ceremony.
When we had finally reached the end of the walk and I stood directly beside Caius and Marcus had taken his place as one of Caius's groomsmen.
Aro smiled down at us, since he was the 'king' of vampires we figured it should be fine for him to marry us. He was only to happy to do it. Him and Alice seemed more excited about mine and Caius's wedding then we were. Which was hard, considering we talked about it almost every time we saw each other. And I sometimes would sit in my bedroom nearly bouncing off the walls thinking about being married to Caius. I could tell he was also excited, no matter how much he tried to hide. I caught him smiling when Alice talked about it quite a few times, not that wild horses could drag the truth out of him.
The ceremony was much like any other, I paid little attention to it while Caius and I stood looking at he each other.
"I do." Now that I payed attention to and will hold with me forever. He said with two words, that he promised to put up with my weirdness and the drama that seemed to follow me around for the rest of our lives.
Taking an unnecessary breath, I repeated him.
"I do." I tried to push everything I was feeling into those two words, making him feel my happiness and joy.
We kissed. Maybe for a moment or two longer then necessary not that Edward forgot to 'cough'. But we ignored him, today was about us. Not him. And their was nothing he could do to change that. He couldn't ruin this. I would make sure of that and if he tried he'd find himself being torn to pieces. Caius and I walked down the aisle together, hand in hand, husband and wife. Their was no way, I was going to let him get out of this. Together forever.
Caius was actually smiling for most of the day, and I laughed at just about everything. We never let go of each other. The ceremony was great, but the reception was amazing. Caius and I of course danced first, the song him and Alice had chosen surprised me. Just A Kiss - Lady Antebellum. I wasn't sure what I had expected them to pick, but it sure wasn't this. Marcus soon cut in and we had our little dance. Before everyone joined in. Aro and Sulpicia leading, then Gianna and Felix with Alice and Jasper following. After them I lost track as the music changed to basically pop culture dance songs and me and Caius started quick dancing. There was a lot of twisting and twirling and me being thrown in the air. But I strangely didn't mind. I was having to much fun. I found myself laughing out of control quite a few times. The party lasted forever, well more like half a day. Before people started packing up and heading home. I was meant with a surprise when all of the vampires excepting -of course- the Cullens, and all of the volturi. The surprise was the pack. They had all come bringing their mates. I had to be careful hugging Angela which was hard because I was so excited. But with the wolves I took no mercy, I think I might have cracked one of Sam's rips. But it was all laughs. And then the party really started. And by really starting. I mean club music blaring, people jumping on tables and I lot of laughing. Caius and the rest of the vampires stayed back for most of the times the wolves were there. But I didn't really mind. I could see what all the fuss about the wolves was- they did stink, but otherwise I didn't see much difference in them then I had before I changed. They were still my family, and I was still their Bella. I realized then that I really had to thank not only them, but also Edward because if they hadn't pushed me past my boundaries and help me see that I was so much more then the weak girl I was before I might never had, had the courage to be with Caius. And I would have missed out, quite a lot actually. Despite all his tough edges he was (ironic and cliche, as it may be) a big fluffy teddy bear inside.
"Ready to go?" Caius, finally interrupted. Coming to stand at my side, sliding his arms around my waist.
"I think so, I think so." I said, smiling lightly. Leaning back into him.
"Lets be off then." He said nodding towards Alice who had my suitcases in her arms.
"Be right back," I said, turning to kiss him on the cheek.
I pulled free from him, and started walking towards Alice.
"In your bedroom, on your bed. I've laid in outfit down for you." She said, smiling.
"Thanks, Alice." I said, hurrying up the back stairs to the castle and starting towards my old bedroom.
I found she had left me two outfits to chose from - a dress with wedges or jeans and sneakers. However tempting the latter was I knew Caius wasn't changing out of his suit and I wasn't going to let him show me up. So changing out of my absolutely beautiful wedding gown I changed into a simple cream dress that stopped just above my knees and sliding off my specially made 'wedding' shoes I put on the chunky purple wedges she had picked out for me. I stood looking in the mirror for a moment.
"Well, don't I look classy." I drawled sarcastically.
Somehow that didn't bode well for me and going into my bathroom where I had hid my leather jacket so Alice couldn't get to it. I quickly put it on and let my hair down.
"That's more like it." I said as I passed the mirror on my way out of my room.
I quickly closed the door and made my way back down.
I saw Alice put her head in her hands as she looked at me, I just grinned and Caius smirked as he grabbed my hand started pulling me towards the car.
"Oh, Wait!" I said, before quickly turning around. I grabbed my bouquet off one of tables and called everyone to attention.
"Okay, all the un-married women please come stand here." I pointed a little way behind me. They all lined up and closing my eyes and turning around I through it backwards in the air. Rachel Black, caught it resulting in several cheers from the other girls and several looks and nudges being thrown at Paul who hadn't fully recovered from his near death experience just a few days prior.
"Okay, now I'm ready." I said, skipping back to Caius side.
I waved back at everyone, as Caius pulled me along.
We quickly got into the waiting car and drove off. Me in the passengers side and Caius driving.
He actually drove faster then Edward, but I suppose that was because his car was built for more speed then a volvo.
At the speed he was driving we quickly got the private airport where we boarded a jet and were off. I still hadn't been told where we were going and Alice hadn't let me see what she packed so I really had no idea where we were going.
The plain was actually pretty exciting it seemed it was supplied with several games and game systems first I beat Caius as Mario Carts Wii, then I slaughtered him on Call Of Duty: Black Ops ll and don't even get me started on our game of Uno. Then again he did domination in both chess and checkers both of which I don't have attention to play. Then we started playing Chines Checkers as if regular checkers wasn't hard enough especially playing a mad genius(mostly the mad part).
After the plane ride and a quick stop to get a bite to eat(pun intended) we boarded a boat which Caius steered most of the way, but I was given the immense pleasure of doing it for a little while. I in fact liked it so much that when Caius tried to get the steering wheel back I pushed him over board. I probably should have thought about how the boat couldn't go faster then him before I pushed him off. Of course in the end I ended up soaking wet.
We both spent more time in the water then on the actual boat. Nevertheless I had a huge amount of fun. When we had finally stopped pushing each other off of the boat we actually got to where we were going. Which was an island.
"How freaking awesome!" I had shrieked I stopped out onto the dock. Caius just smirked, as only Caius does. I had wanted to start exploring immediately, but Caius suggest -demanded- we go see the house with which I later was not disappointed with.
When we had gotten to the beautiful wood porch I was suddenly and quite literally swept off of my feet.
"Hey, put me down!" I cried in outrage.
"Not just yet." He said carefully opening the door and stepping through the threshold.
"What the hell was that?" I asked as I straightened out my dress when I was finally set on the ground.
"Husband-ly duty." He said, grinning or smirking I couldn't really tell.
"That's not even a real word." I said, rolling my eyes. He just shrugged.
While he went to do whatever I explored the house, it was kind of a cabin. It had one extra-large bedroom and one master suit that I somehow didn't see either of using much.
The majority of the room was taken up by the largest bed I had ever seen, there were two steps down and then you were on the bed. The two stairs went all the way around the bed in a square shape. There were pillows on the edges of the bed and the sheets were silk. After leaving the bedroom I looked through the living room it had a huge TV, a bunch of gaming systems, and quite a few movies.
But the best part was the backyard. It had a huge pool. Not just an pool, a built in pool with a water fountain in one corner and a Jacuzzi on the other end. Behind the pool was a jungle, with animals. Not small animals, but big cats and monkey's and God knows what else.
"OMG." Was all I could say after touring the house.
"I thought you might say that." Caius said, appearing beside me. "Come on, let's go look at my favorite part." He said pulling me upstairs and into the master suit.
"I love you, Isabella...Volturi" He said, before bringing his mouth down to mine. It all went down hill from there.
