Here it comes, their journey to Forks and along comes Marcus, Aro, and Caius with a few guards and the girls. Charlie's in for the ride of a lifetime, but oh dear what's Bella going to do about Jacob? Fear not though, Jacob will still be part of Bella's life.
I don't own Harry Potter.
Enjoy!
On the plane:
Bella's P.O.V.:
Almost a week after Victoria's trial and I was still a nervous wreck about going home. I had called Charlie we would be coming home early, but I had also said it would a surprise of sorts. He didn't care, he was just happy his baby girl was coming home; and I had brought along pictures of Diana and myself to show him.
Aro, Marcus, Caius, Felix, Demetri, and Alec had come with us under Diana's insistence. I had only wanted Marcus and the two guards to come but of course Aro would need to be helpful in explaining the situation to Charlie. And since Marcus was my mate-to-be it would be better if he and Charlie met face to face. Charlie offered to meet us at the airport, but then I told him that we had company with us and he said he'd be waiting at home.
"Oh man…" I leaned back in my seat, we would be arriving in about ten minutes and I was trembling in my seat.
"Bella would you stop trembling so much you're gonna shake the plane." Jessica had been up and down talking with Felix all night long, and Angela did the same with Demetri; these girls were more into their men than I had seen them with Mike, Eric, or Ben.
"Well how would you feel if you had to tell your dad you're to marry a vampire and become princess of the immortals? And that he has to just die to come back with me?"
"Calm down you have us, and them." She pointed to Marcus, Aro, and Caius who were just laughing watching me shake.
"Cara mia, nothing your father says will ever drive me away. Like Lady Diana said, he has to come back because he is destined to be a vampire."
"Maybe…but what about the shifters?" Diana had warned me the Quileute tribe had some people who could turn into giant wolves and that their natural enemies were vampires. Frankly though Lady Diana knew how to contact Billy Black the tribe's chief and had asked him to let me and my 'company' into the land. I just hope Jacob isn't a wolf, and if he is I hope he's understanding.
"Don't worry I called Lady Diana this morning, she's spoken with the tribal chief and they've agreed to let us in since you are with us." Aro.
"Was it difficult?"
"She said it wasn't easy, but when she mentioned your family history to him he agreed to let us on the land and he will be there when we arrive." Oh, so Billy was going to tell Charlie the truth? "No doubt he'll have…reinforcements."
"Ugh." I heard Caius scoff, Marcus had told me about his past with the werewolves. He only agreed to come if he would see these wolves for himself and decide if they were threats to their kind. I seriously doubted it though, Lady Diana didn't give any orders to do so.
"Attention passengers we will be landing in a few short moments, please fasten your seatbelts." Well, we were now landing so here goes nothing.
I hope.
Leaving the airport:
We had our baggage and passports put out, so we were ready to head to Charlie's. Aro called a cab which we all took, and soon enough we were heading back. I saw Forks hadn't changed much in the little amount of time we'd been gone, nothing much for a small town.
"Relax Bella, this will all work out." I glared at Aro.
"For your sake I hope you're right." If this went bad and we had to force Charlie to go, Diana would not be pleased.
"Don't worry, you'll find we three in the Volturi can be very…persuasive." Aro smirked.
"You mean YOU can be very persuasive, we just keep quiet." Caius said and I saw Marcus snicker.
"Oh brother…" soon enough we came to my neighborhood, and I saw Charlie, Billy, and Jacob in the driveway. Jacob's looks had changed, his once long hair was now cropped short, he looked more masculine, and then I saw a tattoo on his right shoulder. Was he in a gang or something? As we got out Aro paid the driver and Charlie went over to hug me and the girls.
"I was surprised you'd come back so early…but I think I can see why." He glanced over at the guys. "These from the committee?"
"Committee?"
"The contest committee? Billy said they had some stuff to go over with you about the rest of the trip?" I exchanged looks with the guys, and they just shrugged.
"Mr. Swan, might we talk inside?" Aro stepped forward extending his hand.
"Um…sure. Charlie Swan, Bella's father."
"Aro Volturi, a friend."
"Charlie…" Billy called while Jacob helped him up the stairs. "Let's head inside."
"Sure man, come on I'll get your stuff." He tried to move but Caius and Marcus beat him to it.
"It's our pleasure to help Chief Swan." Caius gave a grim smile. They carried the bags inside, and Charlie led us all into the living room.
"Hey Bella…can I talk to you for a sec?" Jacob asked me and I looked back at Marcus. "It won't take long."
"Sure." Jake pulled me into the kitchen, and I looked back seeing Aro talking with my dad and Billy. "Jake…" I took a deep breath. "Do you know?" he seemed to know, from the look in his eyes.
"About the Cullens, yeah; I know the full story cuz dad told me. And since I'm now a…part of the pack I know more than I did before."
"Are you mad?" he smiled.
"I could never be mad at you, I know why you couldn't tell me. But Bells…those men out there?"
"They…they're part of the vampire Queen Diana's coven, sort of."
"Yeah dad mentioned her, was real shocked when she called and told him everything."
"She's my ancestor."
"He said that too, look Bells I just want you to know that no matter what you choose I'll always be your friend." He winked at me.
"Really?"
"Yeah, I mean once you're involved in the supernatural you can't really go back to being normal right?" I laughed and wrapped my arms around him. This was such a relief, Jacob was accepting this and all we had to do now was get Charlie to see this. "And…is one of those guys…your mate?" looks like Jake had gotten smarter since I left.
"Yeah, is that a problem?" he sighed.
"I can't say I'm too happy about it, but hey it's your choice." Another relief. "Well we'd better get back before your boyfriend gets suspicious." That would be good; as we walked back I sat down on the couch between Jess and Ange.
"So girls…what's up?" I looked at them, and took a deep breath.
"Dad, there's something I need to tell you." I looked at Marcus. "These men aren't from the contest committee." Charlie's face had a frown.
"Oh…then who are they?" I glanced at Billy. "Bella look at me and tell me the truth."
"Yeah, dad these men are…well…they're vampires." He looked at me funny, then broke out laughing.
"That's a good one Bells, that's a good one." He left and wiped a tear, then stopped realizing no one else was laughing with him. "Oh come on there's no such thing as vampires, it's all a myth."
"Actually Mr. Swan, it isn't." Aro looked at Caius and Marcus, and in a rush of wind the entire room was clean of its furniture except the couch and chairs. Charlie looked around like someone was about to jump him from behind.
"What the…what the hell just happened?"
"Charlie, they are vampires. They have super speed, super strength, and yes they drink blood so…" Billy moved his hands directing them at us.
"Billy…tell me you're joking." Billy shook his head.
"I wish I was man, they're vampires." Charlie looked at me.
"Girls…move away from them."
"Dad they won't hurt us."
"Bella…please just move." I was about to speak but then Marcus stepped forward.
"Mr. Swan, we won't hurt you or the girls. We came here for a reason and if you'll just let us explain then we can get this over with." Charlie had no place to sit. "Um…Aro would you?" Aro and the others moved in a rush of speed making the room whole again with furniture.
"Dad please, let them talk." Charlie slowly sat down.
"Fine then talk, you're…you're real vampires?"
"Yes, as hard as it is to believe vampires exist. I am Aro, a leader of the Volturi Coven, and these are my brothers Marcus and Caius who run the coven with me. These two men, are Felix and Demetri part of the guard."
"What's the deal between you and my daughter and her friend?"
"Well…you see Mr. Swan, your daughter is to be my brother Marcus's mate. Felix and Demetri are to be Angela and Jessica's mates as well."
"Mates, you mean…?" he looked at me. "Bella please tell me this isn't true."
"It is true dad, Marcus is…my boyfriend of sorts."
"So is Felix." Jessica.
"And Demetri." Angela.
"When did this happen?"
"In Rome dad, um…Billy could you?" he nodded.
"Charlie I knew about vampires, and I know about werewolves too. I would've told you but these are tribal secrets that can't be told to just anyone."
"But Bella…this man…how old is he?"
"Over 3000 years Mr. Swan." Charlie stood up.
"No way, Bella you can't seriously…"
"Dad, Marcus is my mate and I love him. Jessica and Angela love their men too, and we're going to be with them."
"Don't I get a say in my daughter's future?"
"You will be allowed in your daughter's future Mr. Swan." Caius stood up. "We came here, because our queen wants you and Bella to join her."
"Queen?"
"The vampire queen, she has seen Bella's destiny and she knows she is meant to be a vampire. That and there's the matter of the Cullens."
"The Cullens, oh don't tell me they were vampires too?"
"They were dad, and I knew about it."
"You knew?"
"It's part of the vampire law, humans who know of our existence must either be changed or die. The Cullens knew and they abandoned her, they will be punished but for now we must discuss you Mr. Swan."
"You expect me to come along too?"
"You must, Bella wants you to and the Lady Diana, your ancestor wishes it."
"My ancestor?"
"Diana is the queen dad, and she's our ancestor. She has a tapestry of the family, and we are the last living ones."
"And she wants me to join along with you?" we all nodded.
"Mr. Swan, we're going to be there too." Jessica. "We're going to be changed next month, as is Bella. You too because Lady Diana said that you too are destined to be a vampire." Charlie looked at Billy.
"She called me last week, their queen I mean. She said she knew about our tribe, and explained pretty much everything Bella has said. You don't have a choice Charlie, but man I'm still your friend."
"And I'm still Bella's. I didn't know about the Cullens until recently, but these guys know about our shifting abilities so I'm clear."
"Shifting?"
"Jacob and some of the other boys in the tribe can turn into giant wolves; we protect the town when we can. The vampire is our natural enemy, but the queen insists on peace so I can see right now that Bella and her friends aren't in any danger." Charlie looked at us all, rubbed his head, and sat back down.
"Well…if the queen asks then I guess I should go. But what about your mom Bella? Doesn't she have to know?" I looked away.
"Your ex-wife will not be going. She will not know of this."
"So what…?"
"We have to die dad."
"WHAT?" he snapped towards me.
"It's not what you think Chief Swan; yes you have to die, but only in the human world." Aro. "We are going to stage your death, along with Bella and the girls. That way no one will be looking for you after this is done." I stood up and walked closer to Charlie.
"Dad, I know this is a lot to take in but I want you in my life. I know you don't like the idea of just leaving, but this has to be done. It's all we can do to keep the vampires secret." Charlie looked at everyone.
"What do you say Jacob, you've been rather quiet?" Jake stepped forward, directly at Marcus.
"Look…it's obvious we aren't going to be friends right off the bat, but I can see that Bella's happy. I can see that Jessica and Angela are happy, and if you do anything to hurt them then I will personally rip you apart." Marcus smirked.
"Good to know." They briefly shook hands, and then Marcus turned to me. "I promise you she will be well cared for and will want for nothing."
"Hold it!" Charlie stood up and walked over to Marcus. "You may be my daughter's boyfriend but you and I haven't even begun yet." He stood staring into Marcus' eyes.
"DAD!" I was so embarrassed.
"It's alright Bella, your father has a right to try and know me."
"I might as well run a background check on him."
"Um dad that's not possible."
"True that Chief Swan." Jessica giggled snuggling close to Felix. Charlie sighed and looked between everyone.
"So how are we going to do this?"
"For starters Jacob and I will have to head back to the reservation, the pack will no doubt want word of this. We'll keep in touch, if you remember our numbers." Billy nodded and after Jake hugged me and the girls they left out the door.
"Well?" Aro smirked and Caius came back with a large bag.
"We do have a few ideas…" Caius dumped the bag onto the couch and I saw quarts of oil, gasoline, matches, and some small explosives. "We'll also need some bloodshed."
"BLOODSHED?" I shouted.
"Calm down Bella we just need to cut your hand and let out some blood so it'll look like a homicide took place. Same goes for you Mr. Swan, Jessica, and Angela."
"But…what about your control?" Angela.
"We fed before we came remember? Now I promise this will be quick." Aro took out a small knife and Jessica and Angela held out their hands. I watched the blood fall into some cups, and then Charlie went next.
"It's alright cara mia, Aro knows what he's doing." Marcus kissed my head, and then it was my turn. As Aro quickly slid the knife across both of my palms I winced and soon enough Marcus bandaged my hands. "There…that wasn't so bad was it?"
"Guess not." Now all we had to do was wait, while Aro, Caius, Felix, and Demetri set up the scene, we were going to stay at Billy's until it was done, then leave tonight.
All I could think of now, was goodbye Forks and hello Rome.
Hope you liked it. Next one flips to the Cullen residence when they find out about the 'death' of Bella and Charlie and Angela and Jessica. Then it flips over to where they arrive back in Rome for Charlie to meet Diana and get some things straight.
Like Charlie's reaction?
