Ps: I redid this chapter because something was in the way and i needed to delete a few sentences and realter a few in order for the story to make sense :)
Bella's p.o.v
Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss,
Every day I love you more and more,
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing.
Telling me to give you everything
Season may change, winter to spring.
But I love you until the end of time,
Come what may,
Come what may,
I will love you,
Until my dying day,
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place,
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace,
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste.
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain to high, no river to wide.
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side.
Storm clouds may gather and stars may collide.
But I love you, until the end of time.
Come what may,
Come what may,
I will love you,
Until my dying day,
Oh, come what may,
Come what may,
I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place.
Come what may,
Come what may,
I will love you
Until my dying day,
I felt something trickled down the side of my cheek…had I been crying?
Evy stopped her song and people started to clap and cheer.
As a human her voice was gorgeous but now that she was a vampire it sounded even more enchanting.
"Bella!"
I heard a voice coming from behind me, it was Jacobs father Billy Black…
but there was no Jacob in sight.
"Hey Billy, I'm so happy to see you. Thank you so much for coming to the wedding." I gave him a big hug. Sue was also with him, Seth Clearwater mother.
Her eyes darted through the room. She obviously didn't feel comfortable around all of these vampires.
"It's time to throw the bouquet!" Alice yelled over the crowd.
I got ready to step up on the stage, as Evelyn gracefully jumped off it and mingled with the crowd.
A drum roll echoed through the room as I turned my back to the crowd and through the bouquet of white roses into the crowd.
I quickly turned to see who had caught the flowers. And to my surprise, of all people in the room the one who had caught the flowers was no other than Evy.
The look on her face was priceless! I clasped my hand over my mouth to hide my laughter.
Evelyn's p.o.v
If there is a god he has a sick, twisted sense of humor!
My eyes were focused on the bundle of flowers resting in my hands.
I could see Bella's flabbergasted face… oh she was enjoying this way too much.
Jasper was standing behind me and he appeared to be just as gob smacked by this as I was.
What am I thinking it's just a bouquet, a simple bindle of flowers, thrown by a bride…
Alice, obviously overjoyed, clapped her hands with excitement.
"Do you think it's impolite to run away?" I whispered at Jasper.
"That's not funny." Alice pouted and crossed her arms.
Jasper smirked," I guess we have to stay, Darlin'."
I sighed deeply," I'd better put these somewhere safe, before I mutilate them."
"Don't you want to sing another song? Everybody loved your singing, me in particular."
He said with a wink.
"No more singing before this crowd, but the next dance you're mine love." I gave him a quick kiss and headed into the house.
I placed the flowers on the kitchen counter as I looked for a vase or anything I could put them in with water. I did not know if Bella wanted to keep them, dry them or whatever people did with bridal bouquets these days.
"It's nice to you again, Evelyn." A voice said from behind me.
A voice, deep and warm…
"It has been a while hasn't it?" I said to Billy Black.
"I must say I'm a bit shocked to see you the way you are now."
"I'm surprised Bella didn't mention my…change, to you…"
"She and Jacob don't talk a lot anymore, he's very worried about her and if the choice she is making is the right choice…"
Billy wheeled up to me and eyed me with caution,
"I feel sad to see you made the same choice as she wants."
I didn't mean to but I growled deeply at Billy Black," You know nothing of my choice…"
"Did you choose this life Evelyn Swan, yes or no?" He asked me, not frightened by my voice.
I should have guessed, he's probably used to those mutts growling all the time.
I wanted to tell him, but I knew if I told him it could turn the wolves against the Cullens.
Something I did not want to happen.
But I did not want to lie to him either.
"I will not answer your question because it is none of your business."
I turned around and walked away from him, but then he said something that stopped me in my tracks.
"I know what happened to you on that mountain and I know what happened afterwards."
I couldn't help but swallow a lump in my throat away," It's something I'd rather not remember."
"You were changed without permission." Billy continued as he moved closer," It's something we are against. Actually even if they had your permission,-"
"I was dead Billy!" I said perhaps a bit too loud, I quickly turned my head to the window but the party was continuing without any disturbance,
"What Alice did, she did out of love…for me and for Jasper. Truthfully I may have been against it at first, but I've never been happier as I am now."
"What about Bella?"
I closed my eyes for a moment," Look at her, Billy…" I reopened my eyes and pointed into Bella's direction who was dancing happily with her Edward.
Billy shook his head," I see what you see, Evelyn. But the agreement that the Cullens have with us is very clear."
His hand reached out and gently grabbed my hand.
"If Sam or anyone else of the pack finds out you were changed here instead of on that mountain top…"
This was new to me. I had no idea that the wolves were unaware of the whole situation.
They knew I had been changed, but they believed it was on top of the mountain…outside of the area…
If they were to figure it out, a fight wouldn't be avoidable.
"You're always welcome in my home." Billy said to me," I may be getting older but I sure still remember the old days when you were still a kid."
I gave him a small nod and waited until he left the kitchen. I leaned back against the counter and ran my hand through my hair.
Why am I feeling so tense…?
Then Rick appeared in the kitchen doorway.
I was not in the mood to talk to him at the moment…not after the conversation I had with Billy.
"Enjoying the party?" He casually asked me.
"What do you want Rick?"
He looked taken back by my comment, but soon his expression changed,
" I need to talk to you." His tone was serious.
"I'm not in the mood for a talk at the moment. I'm here to enjoy my cousins wedding. Now if you don't mind." I walked passed him.
Rick firmly grabbed hold of my arm," It's about the Volturi."
I yanked my arm free from his grasp,
"Why do you want to discuss this with me?"
"Because it's about you as well…"
I arched an eyebrow and crossed my arms,
"Alright, speak."
"I want to head back to the Volturi and tell them about Demetri schemes, that he has been using me to get to you and that I want out of it."
What? Was he being serious?
Demetri is too valuable to them.
He'll probably be punished…but Rick, he would be in much more trouble when Demetri finds out about what he did!
"That's a stupid idea, Rick. Demetri is a tracker, according to Carlisle he is the best tracker in this world. Do you honestly think they'd care that much about him doing something on his own?"
Rick scratched the back of his head," I agree it's a long shot… but that's where you come in."
I pointed at myself," Me?"
He nodded," you could convince them to release me from Demetri's demands."
"I'm not risking my life just because you signed a pact with the devil. They'll kill me for using my gift against them."
"Evelyn, please!" He pleaded as he grabbed hold of my shoulders," I can't be with Alice if I don't finish Demetri's bidding. He'll hunt me down when he finds out I turned my back to him."
I took his hands of my shoulders but didn't release them," you'll be safe with us. It's him against this family."
"So you'll form a front against Demetri? You can't kill him, Aro and the others will come after you and the Cullens." Rick continued," Like you said he's too valuable for them."
I thought for a moment, Alice has done so much for me and Jasper. Everything almost…she kept me in this world… the least I can do is help her be together with her mate,
in peace…
If Rick just bails out on Demetri's demands he won't be safe, they can't run away from him forever… I wouldn't want that to happen to Alice.
She should be as happy as I am.
"Forget the Volturi." I said to Rick who blinked with confusion.
"What do you have in mind?" He quickly asked me.
"The problem here is Demetri right? I'll convince Demetri to let you go, then you and Alice can be together safely." I suggested.
"It's still a risk for you. You'd do this for us?"
"Don't flatter yourself." I tsked at him," I'm doing this for Alice. There's just one thing I have to do before we're doing this for certain."
I have to talk this over with Jasper before I act on my own. I can't do that again.
Jaspers p.o.v
What was taking her so long? I noticed Billy Black following her into the house, he was harmless and his emotions were mostly calm. Nothing bad could happen in there.
But then he came back out in quite a relaxed mood, only Evy was still inside.
It's been about 5 minutes and still no sign of her.
I should head inside…
At that point she walked out with Alice her new mate Rick.
I didn't trust him at all, and it's not because he turned out to be Alice her mate, he acted nervous most of the time. Never around Alice, Oh no…he felt safe around her. But when he's near Evy…
Rick walked away from her and headed over to Alice.
Evy gracefully ran up to me.
"What did I miss?" she asked me.
"A whole lot of dancing, my Darlin.'
and Edward removing the garter from Bella's leg." I told her.
"Sexy." Evy replied.
"Will you dance with me ma'am?" I asked her as I made a bow.
"By all means, I'd be delighted." She giggled and curtsied.
Evy placed her hand in mine and I guided her onto the dance floor,
where we danced into the night until it was time for Bella and Edward to leave for their honeymoon.
I watched as Bella hugged her parents goodbye, she was happy but at the same time she felt sad. Sad of the life she was leaving behind and happy for the one she was entering.
Tears of sadness and happiness…
"Have a happy honeymoon," I said to Bella when she came up for a hug.
"You take good care of Eve." She ordered me.
"I won't let her out of my sight, Mrs. Cullen." I joked.
"I'll miss you," she said to Evy who hugged her a bit too tight.
"Oops sorry Bella, I'll miss you too. Enjoy your honeymoon and tell me everything and I mean everything when you come back." She said with a wink causing Bella to blush.
Bella said her goodbye to the others as Edward walked up to us.
"Thanks for everything tonight guys." He said.
"Don't mention it, Edward. It was our pleasure." I told him.
"Nervous?" Evy asked him, and smirked.
"Shall I calm your nerves?" I laughed.
"Not funny Jazz, besides I highly doubt your gift can get to where we're going." Edward replied with a chuckle.
He turned his attention to Evy," and you…be careful…very careful. I think it's a bad idea."
Evy groaned at his comment and I knew immediately something had happened in the house when she walked out together with Rick.
"I knew you would say something about it…I won't do anything until I've discussed it with the others… I promise Edward." She said to him.
He gave her a slight nod then smiled and hugged her," I'm just making sure my future sister-in-law is still alive by the time we get back."
In a quick movement Evy hit him on his back.
Edward and Bella left as we all threw rice their way. Emmett not able to control his arm strength chucked an enormous amount at Edwards back, which bounced off into Bella's face.
Poor Bella, I couldn't help but laugh at Emmett's clumsiness.
The car drove off, and immediately Evy grabbed hold of my hand.
"We have to talk, my love…" She said to me.
Cliffhanger? maybe... what will Jasper say when Evy tells him her plan?
further more i want opnions on wheter or not I should throw the whole Renesmee deal in this? because frankly...i'm having doubts about that.
REVIEWS PLEASE! :D
