Sorry for the delay! Only remembered about FanFiction when Vampirediaries11 reminded me (thank-you by the way!) Here it is! Enjoy, and review!
Edward
"Edward…" Even from the other side of the hall I could hear Bella's yearning whisper. As I had entered the room, I had immediately noticed the strong stench of wolf filling my nostrils. Subconsciously, I had growled with disgust and by the look on Jacob's face, he had heard. Felix gestured to me to continue following him down the raised stage to where Aro, Caius and Marcus stood waiting.
When we reached them, Felix positioned himself, boldly, between me and Bella. For a few seconds, my eyes were locked on my ex-girlfriend's. I craved to walk to her. I craved to take her hand in mine. I craved to kiss her one last time. As difficult as it was, I resisted these cravings and turned towards Aro who was muttering excitedly in Alice's ear. Without thought, I zoned in on the thoughts of my friends, family and new employers. The Volturi's minds were so alike! It was like tuning into just one mind when in fact; I was listening to about half a dozen. They were all reflecting on my decision to give up my freedom to save Bella – which none of them seemed to understand- and planning on how to rid their city of my 'rescuers'. Jacob was contemplating between attempting to escape from the hall with Bella or phasing and attacking Aro and the other Volturi members. I shook my head at him, indicating to him that neither of his plans were wise. Shockingly, Alice was calm and relaxed. She conversed with Aro delicately, not even hinting at any kind of plan for my rescue.
"Dearest Alice, are you sure you won't reconsider?"
"I'm sure, Aro. I will not join you while I have a family to go home to. Thank you for the offer though." I admired Alice's politeness in this situation. Aro had been pestering her to join the Volturi for years.
"Such a shame. A bright, young lady like yourself would be so very useful." With that, the dark-haired vampire began to walk back to his chair, motioning for his accomplices to follow. The three of them sat, quietly, looking down at their audience.
"Bella, Alice, Jacob, Emmett; we admire your courage to come and get your friend, your brother, your love. Unfortunately, he is ours now." Marcus spoke slowly and carefully, giving us time to interpret every single word.
"Please!" Bella begged. Although she was begging for my freedom, I could not look her in the eyes. Tears were streaming down her face. She dropped to her knees, sobbing. Guiltily, I turned away from the pleading angel.
"We are touched by your response but I'm afraid that that is the finally word." Caius's voice dragged even more than Marcus's. Then he turned to face me. "Edward, return to your quarters please."
Swiftly, I left the hall, leaving my friends and family behind me.
