A/N: Hello, everyone! How are you? I lied about my cousin's wedding. It's on the 29th but I thought I only have a week to go when I updated last time. Anyway, I'll see if I could update on the actual week of my cousin's wedding-the 29th.
Helen of Troy was a famous character in the Greek myth. She was known for her beauty. She was married to the King of Troy. But Paris abducted her. That's the reason for the Trojan war. That's the summary. Greek myths are fun. Percy Jackson and the Olympians are actually a retelling of the old myths but was kidified.
Chapter 24: The First Day of Battle
The three leaders of the Volturi stepped in-Caius, Marcus, and Aro. I only knew them from television, being vampire goodwill ambassadors. And now, here they were starting a war to get me.
"Give to us Bella, the vampire killer," Aro said.
"No," Carlisle answered. "She's my son's mate."
Marcus finally spoke. "I could see the ties linking Bella to a particular vampire," Marcus said, looking at Edward. "Are you Carlisle's son?" Marcus looked at Edward.
"Yes," Edward answered.
"Would you come here?" Aro asked Edward.
Edward stepped closer and held out his hand to Aro. Everyone who had access to televion knew of Aro's ability-he could know every person's thought with a single touch.
"Fascinating. You had always been attracted to her, haven't you?" Aro asked.
"Yes," Edward said.
Edward went back to where he originally was earlier.
"Nevertheless, she's a danger to us all. I want your mate. Surrender her to me," Aro said.
"Never!" Edward screamed.
The ones with the Volturi moved forward and started to attack us. The person prodding Jane did so, and commanded Jane to use her powers. That was what she did. Everyone dropped to their knees as if they were in pain except for me. She freed Demetri and moved toward me alone.
"Let's go," Jane said.
I did as I was told. Jand and I escaped from the crowd. We found the nearest vehicle inside the Cullen mansion. It was the silver Volvo.
"That's Edward's," I said.
"I know," Jane said. She produced the key. "I took it from his pocket when he weren't looking."
As Edward could read minds, I knew he had implicitly given Jane permission to get the key.
Jane then rode the driver's side. I was sitting right next to her when she sped out of town. We were both on a run, our lives were both in danger. What Jane did could easily have gotten her killed.
"It's for the best," I said.
Had I stayed, the Cullens could be in even more danger. The Volturi had already declared war on the Cullens for my sake. Maybe with what Jane and I did, they'd leave the Cullens alone.
"You're the modern version of Helen of Troy," Jane joked.
Helen of Troy was known as the face that launched a thousand ships in Greek mythology. I might not be as beautiful but the result was still the same. Vampires and humans would be at war because of me.
In that moment, I prayed. I wasn't a believer in God. But I prayed to the God of Edward that he might find me.
E/N: What do you think would happen to Jane and Bella? Jane was actually risking her life to save Bella's that being said, she's officially had turned against the Volturi for carrying the most wanted human in the vampire world. Demetri is actually Jane's mate. She just doesn't know it yet.
