silent demons
Chapter 3
I waited in Carlisle's study for a time that felt like eternity, waiting for a phone call or a vision from Alice. But time kept passing, before I knew it the sun was beaming down on my pale skin, bursting into a million beams of light.
Alice was upstairs getting ready to go out and do some shopping.
"Alice!" I yelled to her
"Yes?" Alice came out with her hair wrapped in a towel and a brush in her hand.
"Can I come along with you?" I said almost whispering.
"Rose wants to go shopping with me?" Alice was shocked.
"yea yea Alice."
I walked up the stairs and went into my room and got dressed. I pulled out jeans and a blue sweater and some sneakers. Threw some makeup on and did my hair.
"Ready Alice?" I called down the stairs while I walked at human speed to the bottom. There was no answer; the house was empty and silent. Everyone had gone out hunting and Carlisle was working since it was Tuesday. I ran the rest of the way downstairs. Alice was sitting on the couch with a blank look on her face.
"What do you see?" I asked quickly.
"Aro. He's talking to Edward. Demetri has Bella, and Alec has Nessie. Aro is making them join the Volturi, if not then Bella and Nessie are going to be punished." She looked into nothing for many moments after that.
"We need to call Carlisle and tell him we are going to save them." I jumped up and rushed to the phone.
I dialed the number and listened to the ring. Ring. Ring.
"Hello Dr. Carlisle how can I help you?" He spoke into the phone.
"It's Rose. Edward, Bella, and Nessie are in Italy. The Volturi to be exact, Alice and I are going to get on a plane and go right over. Aro is going to kill Bella and Nessie if Edward doesn't join them." I quickly said into the phone.
"OK. Just be careful. Call me when you guys get there, and get a plan together." Carlisle said and the phone disconnected.
When I put the phone down and turned around Alice stood at the door with two bags "Ready?" She smiled and opened the door. I guessed she went to put the bags in the car. I locked the door and got in the car.
We arrived at the airport in about 45 minutes. For this time of year the airport was packed, so I knew we were going to have to put a lot of money into getting these tickets.
"I hate traveling" I told Alice.
"Yea me too. Everyone looks at us like we belong in a circus or something, or like we are aliens." Alice laughed. Then paused. She was having another vision.
"There is a man wearing blue jeans and a black trench coat that is selling tickets to Italy. In the north end of the airport. We have to get to him now.
We ran at human speed, this would've been the perfect time to run like man vampires we are, but we can't we must blend in.
When we finally got to the man he was just a kid, maybe 16, barely 16 I thought to myself.
"I heard you were selling tickets to Italy for two. Right?" Alice asked
The kid paused "How did you know?" the kid was kind of freaked.
"Doesn't matter. We want to buy them. "How much I asked.
"200 a piece, or I can make you a deal. Make me one of you and they are free." He smiled.
"I can't right now. So here's $400." The boy was stunned by the cash, we grabbed the tickets.
"You just bought two tickets for $400! You're crazy Alice." I told her.
"Let's go!" Alice said running to the gate, while the final boarding call reminder came on.
The plane was packed, but we made our way to our seats.
