Chapter 16- Romeo and Juliet Reunited

I walked aimlessly down the streets of Volterra. I had no idea where Edward could possible be. I sighed as I rested on the steps of a church. "Bella." Jacob said relieved.

I rolled my eyes as he sat next to me. "Bells. Are you mad at me?" Jacob asked. "Nope." I said coldly. "You're the worst liar." Jacob chuckled. "What do you want?" I barked.

"I just wanted to make sure you were ok." Jacob confessed. "I will be once I find Edward." I sighed. Jacob's expression became pained. "I'll leave you to it." Jacob said. "No. Jake wait." I pleaded.

"Stay with me." I told him. Jacob nodded in agreement. "How were you planning to find Edward?" Jacob asked curiously. "I was hoping he would find me." I revealed. Jacob chuckled. "Ah. Bells." He smiled.

"What?" I asked playfully. "I got an idea." Jacob smirked. He pulled me closer and whispered in my ear. I nodded my head when he was done explaining his plan. "That's perfect." I said.

"But Jake. I don't want you to get hurt." I frowned. "Bells. I'll be alright. Trust me." He lifted my chin up and kissed my forehead lightly. I stared at Jacob as he walked away. I bit my bottom lip as I stared at the clock tower.

Volterra was a magical place. I just wished I was here on different circumstances. I became startled as someone touched my shoulder. "Buongiorno." A man greeted. "Mi dispiace." He apologized.

I smiled letting him know that I was fine. "Posso?" He asked kindly. "Sì." I answered. He sat down next to me and stared off into the sky. I felt a bit uneasy as the man sitting next to me was wearing a red robe.

His face was hidden by the hood of the robe. His voice struck me as familiar. "Come stai?" He asked. "Sto bene." I replied intrigued by his voice. His voice was both seductive and poison. I bit my lower lip as realization sunk in. He was a vampire.

I gulped as the sun set and the moon became visible. The man stood up and took a few paces forward. "Essere in arrivo." He commanded. I got up quickly and walked toward the direction of the hotel.

I became paralyzed as I ended up at a dead end. I turned around and gasped. "Please don't." I pleaded. I stopped when my back was against a wall. My breathing increased as he crouched. "Jake!" I shrieked. The vampire cocked his head to the side.

He pulled his robe off revealing a rather well dressed vampire. His eyes were a blood red and his skin almost translucent. "Don't be afraid. Just yet." He smiled sheepishly. "Just get it over with." I barked.

"I like my hearts jumping." He gritted through his teeth. "Well I'm not scared." I countered. "Seems as though you know what I am." He mused. "Your a vampire." I said breathless. "I don't believe you." He smiled flashing me his pearl white teeth.

He stepped closer causing my heart to skip a beat. "Boo." He said. With an impossible speed he stood an inch away from me. "You smell wonderful." He commented. "How rude of me." He said. "My name is Demetri." He bowed.

"Do you know Heidi?" I asked. Demetri stepped back surprised by my question. "I'm a pet of hers." I lied. "And if you did something to me. Well let's just say I'd be worried if I was you." I lied convincingly. "Forgive me. I had no idea." He said.

"Can you bring me to her?" I asked. "Yes." He smiled. He picked up his red robe and threw it over me. "To surprise her." He grinned. I smiled. The hood covered my face. I followed him as my heart accelerated.

Relax Bella. I'm sure Edward is with Heidi. I hope. I followed Demetri into what seemed to be a castle. We walked up a few flight of stairs. Jake. Where are you? "Ah. Here we are." He winked. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

The double doors opened to reveal three vampires sitting on a throne. I walked close behind as the other vampires stared in my direction. I smiled slightly as Edward stood by the window. Heidi was no where in sight.

"Is Heidi around?" Demetri askeds respectfully. I knew that the three vampires on the thrones must be of great importance to the vampires. "Edward." I whispered softly. Edward's head jerked to the side. Searching desperately around the room.

"I found her on the streets. She claims to be Heidi's pet." He explained. I took a few paces backward. Hoping to get Edward's attention. Edward looked pained and distraught. He faced the window once again.

"Nonsense. I don't keep pets." Heidi announced as she walked in. My pulse quickened as Demetri gripped my arm. "You lying rodent." Demetri hissed. He pushed me back into the door. I yelped as the air was knocked out of my lungs.

I laid on the floor as breathing caused me pain. "I will enjoy killing you!" He snarled. I looked up and met Heidi's eyes. Her eyes were filled with worry of my presence. I smiled as her eyes flickered toward Edward who was unaware of my presence.

"Demetri. Get it out of here and save me some." She demanded eagerly. I tried to speak but I was unable. Crap. Edward should be able to smell me. My scent or my blood. Why hadn't he noticed me? Demetri picked me up and placed me on my feet.

I quickly reached in my pocket and threw my cell phone at Edward. Edward stood motionless staring out the window. Damn it Edward. Demetri looked over at Edward and then me again. "You?" He asked.

I nodded unable to speak. "Come forward." One of the vampires demanded. I walked over cautiously. But before I could reach the center Heidi lunged at me. I fell back onto back. I let out a loud shriek.

This seemed to snap Edward out of his trance. Heidi pulled my hood back causing me to choke while she dragged me toward the doors. "Bella." Edward called out. He quickly pushed Heidi back and lifted me to my feet. "Bella." He smiled.

I smiled weakly as my body felt numb. "Edward." I choked out. My eyes closed unwillingly and the darkness took over. A pair of cold hands touched my face. "Edward." I said wearily. "I'm here." He stated. I smiled as he carried me in his arms.

"Aro, Cauis and Marcus. Thank you for your hospitality. But I must be on my way." Edward said kindly. "Edward." A musical voice called. "This situation must be handled or we shall intervene." He promised.

"Yes. Aro, it will be taken care of." Edward told him. Edward quickly sprinted toward the exit. I was far too weak to speak or open my eyes. I was just pleased to know I was once again with Edward.

"I love you." He whispered. I drifted off into a deep sleep.
