xin chào all!! I couldn't get on line yesterday...something about someone cutting a Ethernet cable hoặc something. SO I'm going to try to get up a few stories tonight. :)
End of Chapter 23
"I'll do everything that can be done, but prepare Carlisle; the odds aren't good." I whispered.
"Alice, so help me if anything happens to you..I will go to hell and back to bring bạn back." He snarled.
"I've thought about that already Jazz." I đã đưa ý kiến as I laughed.
"Promise me bạn will come trang chủ to me when this is done. Promise we will never be apart again." He đã đưa ý kiến sadly.
"Yes, I promise. Just one thing Jasper." I đã đưa ý kiến as I thought of the ultimate promise.
"Anything love, anything at all."
"Don't follow me." I whispered.
"I promise, I know bạn need to do this. Promise me bạn will do everything bạn can to come home, bạn will get out of there and come trang chủ soon." He pleaded.
"I promise Jasper. One way hoặc another, I'll get out....and I tình yêu you." I đã đưa ý kiến as I hung my head, silent sobs escaping my lips.
"I tình yêu bạn too. Never forget that, I tình yêu you." He đã đưa ý kiến as I hung up the phone and leaned my head back against the seat.
"I hate lying to him." I đã đưa ý kiến to the ceiling.
Chapter 24
I sat with my head resting against the headrest, thinking about everything I had just promised Jasper. I knew that I shouldn't have promised him I would get out, there was no way that I could be certain that was even possible.
I was deep in thought when Bella put her hand on mine. "Tell me everything, Alice, I don't understand. Why did bạn tell Jasper to stop Emmett, why can't they come help us?" She asked.
I took a deep breath, keeping my eyes closed. "Two reasons," I whispered. "The first I told him. We could try to stop Edward ourselves...if Emmett could get his hands on him, we might be able to stop him long enough to convince him you're alive." I đã đưa ý kiến as I turned my head and looked at her.
"We can't sneak up on Edward." I đã đưa ý kiến thêm to myself then to her. "If he sees us coming for him, he'll just act faster. He'll...I don't know throw a Buick through a tường hoặc something, and the Volturi will take him down."
I looked at her to see how she was taking all of this. There was a look of fear..well not fear...panic in her eyes. She did understand what I was telling her. She gripped my hand tighter, trying to get me to continue.
"That's the một giây reason of course, the reason I couldn't say to Jasper. Because if they're there and the Volturi kill Edward, they'll fight them Bella." I whispered, my voice cracking at the horror.
"If there were any chance we could win...if there were a way that the four of us could save my brother bởi fighting for him, maybe it would be different. But we can't, and, Bella, I can't lose Jasper like that." I đã đưa ý kiến as I swallowed the lump that crept into my throat.
I knew that I along with Emmett, Jasper and even Rosalie would do anything to help Edward. I knew that they would lay down their safety if it meant they could help him.
Bella sat watching me, I had to look away and gather myself again. I couldn't let her know how likely it truly was that we wouldn't return from this.
"Couldn't Edward hear you, though? Wouldn't he know, as soon as he heard your thoughts, that I was alive, that there was no point to this?" She asked.
I had to think about that before I could answer her, choosing my words carefully. "IF he were listening. But believe it hoặc not, it's possible to lie with your thoughts. If bạn had died, I would still try to stop him. And I would be thinking 'she's alive, she's alive' as hard as I could. He knows that."
"If there were any way to do this without bạn Bella, I wouldn't be endangering bạn like this. It's very wrong of me." I đã đưa ý kiến as I looked her directly in the eye.
"Don't be stupid. I'm the last thing bạn should be worrying about." She đã đưa ý kiến as she shook her head. "Tell me what bạn meant, about hating to lie to Jasper." She đã đưa ý kiến trying to change the subject.
I laughed quietly, and smiled. "I promised him I would get out before thy killed me, too. It's not something I can guarantee...not bởi a long shot."
I hoped that this would help her take it all seriously, how much danger we were facing in a few hours time.
"Who are these Volturi?" Bella asked quietly. "What makes them so much thêm dangerous the Emmett, Jasper, Rosalie and you?"
As Bella asked the câu hỏi I heard the guy in the ghế, chỗ ngồi across from us lean in. I quickly shot him a look, one that was not friendly. I usually try to control myself better, but he had no right. He quickly sat back in his ghế, chỗ ngồi and put hid headphones on, returning to his work.
Bella noticed all of this, I forget how observant she is...she leaned closer to me to the point that her head was resting on me to hear the words.
"I was surprised that bạn recognized the name. That bạn understood so immediately what it meant when I đã đưa ý kiến he was going to Italy. I thought I would have to explain. How much did Edward tell you?" I asked, hoping that he had told her their story.
"He just đã đưa ý kiến that they were an old, powerful family...like royalty. That bạn didn't antagonize them unless bạn wanted to....die." She whispered as she shook when đã đưa ý kiến đã đưa ý kiến 'die.'
"You have to understand." I đã đưa ý kiến as I thought out how to explain this without scaring her.
"We Cullens are unique in thêm ways than bạn know. It's...um...abnormal for so many of us to live together in peace. It's the same for Tanya's family in the north, and Carlisle speculates that abstaining makes it easier for us to be civilized, to form bonds based on tình yêu rather than survival hoặc convenience. Even James's little coven of three was unusually large...and bạn saw how easily Laurent left them. Our kind travel alone, hoặc in pairs, as a general rule. Our family is the biggest in existence, as far as I know, with the once exception. The Volturi." I explained.
I didn't know how much to tell her, there were rules about humans knowing about us...and obviously she knew a lot already..what difference would it make if I explained all I knew before I led her to the belly of the Beast?
"There were three of them originally, Aro, Caius, and Marcus." I đã đưa ý kiến as I looked at her.
"I've seen them." Bella mumbled, my eyebrows rising in surprise. "In Carlisle's study."
I nodded, remembering the large painting that hung in Carlisle's study.
"Two females joined them over time, and the five of them make up the family. I'm not sure...but I suspect that their age is what gives them the ability to live peacefully together."
"They are well over three thousand years old." I đã đưa ý kiến as Bella's jaw dropped a little. "Or maybe it's their gifts that give them extra tolerance. Like Edward and I, Aro and Marcus are....talented."
I saw Bella about to câu hỏi things, but I had to continue before she could start asking questions.
"Or maybe it's just their tình yêu of power that binds them together....I think royalty is an good description." I đã đưa ý kiến as I shook my head.
"But if there are only five..." Bella began asking.
"Five that make up the family." I correct her. "That doesn't include their guard."
Bella took a deep breath, her eyes focusing on the ghế, chỗ ngồi ahead of her. "That sounds......serious."
"Oh it is," I said. "There were nine members of the guard that were permanent, the last time we heard. Others are more...well...transitonry. It changes bạn see. And many of them are gifted as well, with a variety of gifts. Gifts that make what I can do look like a parlor trick. The Volturi choose them for their abilities, physical hoặc otherwise."
Bella opened and closed her mouth, reminding me of a cá out of water. It seemed like she wanted to ask something but couldn't get the words to form.
I nodded at her, guessing that she was wondering about how bad these gifts would be. "They don't get into too many confrontations. No one is stupid enough to mess with them. They stay in their city...only leaving when duty calls."
"Duty?" Bella wondered.
"Didn't Edward tell bạn what they do?" I asked, suprised that he didn't tell her more.
"No." She said.
As she began saying no, I felt as if someone was listening again to our conversation. I turned again to see business suit guy leaning forward, his earphones lifted to one side. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself...it wouldn't help anyone if I Mất tích my temper on a plane.
