A/N: Chapter Eighteen!Thank you for those who are continuing to read this story and for those who are barely giving this story a shot. Happy Reading!

Sorry this chapter isn't very long! Again I'm going based off my memory! I will appreciate any help to keep the story going!


Time has not changed the castle, well much. It seems they have a new human working the front desk, Gina or something of the like. They put up more pictures and statues around the castle, yet its still dark, with candles peeking in every corner.

"Ana! Welcome back" or "Its nice to see you" or even, "I hope you are here to stay" have been coming from every vampire that has ever met me. And I nodding my head, smiling and just laughing because though they these things, a good majority is due to courtesy. Though I don't care, I was staying til my recovery and getting to spend some time with the Alec and Jane.

Currently, at this moment, they were having their 'lunch' or at least waiting for it, so I was hiding out in the kitchen eating ice cream and waiting til they were done. 'How exciting,' I thought,'thank the Gods and Goddesses that Jane and I and Alec (... He's gonna be carrying our bags) are going to go shopping.' Standing up and throwing my plastic spoon away, I froze.

No. No. No. NO! He cannot come here! NO! I refuse! I huffed, stomping my way out of the kitchen and towards my room. 'I will not let him distract for my fun time. I don't even know when he's coming anyway. For all I know, he won't come to the Volturi while I'm here. Maybe after I leave!' Smiling I calmed down, as I began to get ready to go shopping. After all, its nice and cloudy and the sun will be setting by the time I'm done getting ready.

Knocking was heard as I finished putting on my orange lipstick. "I'm going." I muttered as I grabbed my bag. Shaking my head, I opened the door to see Alec's scowling face and Jane's smirking one. Laughing, I walked out, closing the door behind me as I looped my arms around Jane's and Alec's. "Come one. I deserve this one night of shopping. So… Let's go! I want new clothes and shoes and let's face it, the company is not bad. We stepped out through the back of the castle where Felix and Demetri were waiting for us by the car. Look, more minions! I smiled as I thought this. Looking up I stretched as I headed inside the car, followed by Jane and Alec.

Walking into the castle with my purse and my a bag with the new Dior perfume, I felt relaxed. Yup, this was life! I smiled a yawn escaping me as I called out that I was heading to my room.

Demetri went ahead of me to drop my bags in my room. Walking towards the elevator, I could've sworn I heard the familiar voice of Edward.
