"Bella I'm here. I'm alive. I'm here." I said as I felt her arms wrap around me.
"Alice it's good to see you." Bella declared. You know I was kind of expecting more of a reaction than that.
"Umm Bella could you put some clothes on?" I asked. I couldn't believe that I had seen both girls that I like naked. I couldn't exactly say which one had a better body.
Bella grabbed one of the robes and wrapped around herself. Well, that helped a little.
At that point, two vampires, most likely members of the Volturi, walked up to us. Bella stood in front of me protectively.
"I don't need you guys anymore." Bella told him.
"Aro wishes to see the girl." One of them announced. I had a bad feeling about that.
"No." Bella remarked. I was pretty sure that it was not a request. I hoped that this wouldn't turn off badly for me.
They looked like they were ready to attack. Then, the doors suddenly opened and Elena walked in.
"That wouldn't be very wise, Felix." Elena commented. "Aro did ask for you to bring them back alive."
"Yes, he did." Another girl said. I looked over and saw a short blonde girl, perhaps even shorter than me. "Aro was wondering what was taking so long."
"Jane…" Bella remarked nervously.
Bella looked genuinely afraid of the girl. What could this girl do that was so scary? She took us down an elevator to the underground lair of the Volturi. When I got there, I was surprised to see that they had a secretary who appeared to be human.
"Why is she here?" I asked Bella. Bella looked like she didn't know.
"She wants to be one of them, but she probably won't be." Elena remarked as she looked down. I was pretty sure that meant that they wanted to kill her.
"It's always nice to keep a good dessert around." Jane commented as she took us into the chamber. The three vampires on the thrones did not look like any of the other vampires I had seen. They were vile and repulsive. It kind of made sense that they lived underground.
"Alice is alive!" The man in the center declared. Okay I didn't need to be gay to know this guy was a fruitcake. He turned to Bella. "You must be so happy."
"I am, Master Aro." Bella replied. She didn't seem as happy as I thought that she would be, but she also seemed to be trying to keep her composure. "I'm sorry to have bothered you before. I hope you accept my apology."
"The only question is why." Aro mused. "Why did you fall for this human and why would you being willing to die for her? Would you mind?"
Bella walked over to Aro and held out her hand. The old vampire grabbed it and smiled. In addition to looking pretty gay, he also seemed to be pretty creepy.
"You crave her blood but refuse to drink from her. I think that would make you a pretty good mate." Aro commented. "However you know the rules about revealing our existence to humans. Something must be done about this. Jane I think you should Alice your gift to perhaps motivate dear Bella a little."
Jane stared at me, and I couldn't understand what she was before I was suddenly hit with the worst pain that I had ever felt. It was worse than appendicitis. I felt to the ground screaming. I was pretty sure it was all in my head, but it really did hurt like nothing I had ever felt before. All I knew was that I wanted it stop.
"Stop. Stop!" Bella begged. The pain suddenly disappeared. I began to breathe heavily. It had definitely all been in my head, but it felt so real. "I do have plans to change her just not right now. I have seen her as one of us several times."
"Very well, I will give you one year to fulfill your promise." Aro replied. "If she hasn't been changed by then, you can probably guess what is going to happen."
"I understand." Bella agreed. I couldn't guess but I was pretty sure that it would involve killing me.
"Good now depart and prepare." Aro instructed. He also sounded pretty diabolical. I did not want to be around this guy anymore because it made me uncomfortable. "Thanks for your visit to us. Perhaps we will soon return the favor to you."
As we walked out, we noticed a group of tourists being led into the chamber. It wasn't long before there was loud screaming. It seemed like it would be a pretty good idea to get out of this city.
Once we were outside of the temple, Bella was the first to speak. I hoped it wouldn't take us too long to get out of the city. I wondered if Elena planned on returning the car she stole to the lot.
"Your hair is longer." She commented.
"I didn't want to cut it until you came back." I replied as I held a lock of my back-length hair. "I guess I can do that now."
"I kind of like it this way." Bella said. "If you want to keep it like this, you should. After all whatever style it is in once the change is completed will be what you're stuck with."
That part troubled me a little. I agreed with what they said but only because I had to. I wasn't sure if I wanted it as much. Now wasn't the time to tell Bella about Jessica and the multiple times that we had kissed and how I desired her. Elena didn't say anything either, just like she had promised.
We met up with the other Cullens and all headed back to Forks.
I was invited to the Cullens' Christmas party. It really was much of a party because I was the only person invited. I was wearing a grey sweater dress and tights.
"I hope you didn't wrap my presents." I joked. "We don't need any more accidents that cause you to leave."
"Unless you can cut yourself with plastic there shouldn't be any problems." Bella responded. I supposed it was okay now that it was over, but I was still a little conflicted.
"You underestimate my power to injure myself." I countered. I then looked around the room. "I'm so glad to see you guys."
"It's good to see you again Pixie." Emmett remarked as he lifted me off the ground. "This is going to be the best Christmas party that you ever went to."
"Okay Emmett, you can put me down now." I told him. "I hope you guys got me nice presents. You kind of owe me."
"We got you plenty of nice things." Elena replied.
I enjoyed most of the presents that the Cullens got me. Emmett for some reason got me the best of Chris Farley on Saturday Night Live. I had never actually seen Saturday Night Live. That was more of a Charlie thing. The only person that I didn't get a present from was Bella. She said that she would talk to me about my present later.
On the day after Christmas a.k.a. Boxing Day, Bella took me out into the meadow. The meadow was covered in snow.
"So why did you bring me out here?" I asked.
"I wanted to discuss the present that I want to get you." She said.
"And why couldn't we have discussed this somewhere warmer?" I asked.
"I wanna get you a new car. I was thinking of getting you a Porsche." Bella stated. That didn't answer my question, but my mouth still dropped wide open. It's possible some snow went in it.
"So, what do you think?" She asked.
I then remembered where my heart was. It was currently split in two.
"Bella I can't let you spend that much money on me." I replied.
"It really isn't that much of a hassle." She said as she brushed some snow off of my shoulders.
"Bella I'm sure if I can let you spend that much money on me because I'm not sure if I love you as much as you love me." I replied truthfully as Bella had a look of surprise on her face. I guess she didn't see my answer coming.
"What do you mean?" Bella asked as she sniffed the air. "What do you want, I'm not breaking the treaty."
Jessica stepped out of the shadows. She wasn't wearing a coat or anything more than a black dress. Even though she couldn't get cold, it was probably still worth keeping up the appearances.
"I know but I need to remind that if you were to bite a human you would be." Jessica stated. "Oh, and I know what she's talking about too."
"Bella, when you were gone Jessica was here." I told her. "She made me feel wanted again and it's not exactly easy to forgive you for leaving me like that. I even kissed her a few times. I'm sorry."
"I see." Bella said. She looked hurt. At that point, I turned to Jess because both of them needed to hear this.
"That being said, I haven't chosen you either. I don't know which one I am in love with. It will take me a while to figure out. I'm not quite sure how I am going to choose between the two of you because you're both so different from one another. Also you cannot kill each other. That wouldn't help me at all and don't push me either. Let me decide on my own and I may also change my mind. But what I want to do most now is go home." I stated. I hoped that I was making the right decision.
End of Book 2.
So that is the end. I do have plans to write for Eclipse, but I don't exactly have a timeframe since unlike the first two, I don't have a pre-written story to go off of. Thank you for reading and please don't forget to review.
