End of Chapter 32
***Alice's POV***
We all walked in to find the room filled with guards, who stood at attention. The only other people in the room were Caius, Aro and Marcus who sat on their thrones looking bored with everything. Once we were all in the room Caius whispered something to Aro who then stood up and smiled at our entire group.
"I'm so glad Du could all make it. Carlisle my old friend," He sagte as he walked down the steps, Chelsea following him closely. "It has been too long."
"Aro," Carlisle sagte as he stepped vorwärts-, nach vorn and bowed his head in respect. "It has been many, many years."
"You brought the rest of your family." Aro sagte as he looked at each of us.
"Yes," Carlisle sagte as he sighed. "This is my wife Esme, Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, Alice and Bella."
"Why Demetri, Du did bring them all." Aro sagte as he turned and smiled at his guard. "And the best surprise I could ask for...Bella."
Chapter 33
***Edward's POV***
The bag was held over my eyes taking away one of my senses, but instead of fighting them I relaxed and let my other senses take over. I knew that my family was only a few feet away from me, their thoughts so loud that it was like they were screaming at me. Alice's thoughts were the loudest, it was like she knew I was close but wasn't sure where. She just kept screaming that Bella was with them...over and over again. I knew that they were all alright, concerned but okay that Alice believed that if we stood together as a family we could survive this but separate we were weak.
I started walking towards the door, the bag blocking all vision but I knew that the guards with me would stop me if I got too close. I must have been at the door when I felt a large hand wickeln, wickeln sie around my upper arm, pulling me back slightly.
"Where do Du think you're going?" Demetri's deep voice asked.
"He knows they are here." Alec said, his voice taunting.
"Should we reunite the Cullens? Let them be one big happy family?" Demetri asked.
"I think we should." Alec sagte as I heard the door open, and Demetri shoved me as hard as he could, pushing me into the room.
The first thing I heard was Bella's gasp, the sound instantly making me freeze where I was my herz breaking into a thousand pieces.
"Ahhh Edward, you've come." Aro sagte as he stepped closer and pulled the bag off my head. "Sorry about that, but we thought it might be necessary."
"Edward." Bella whispered as softly as she could.
I looked around and noticed that everyone was here, they came as a family..a united front. Esme smiled at me as I looked at her and I did my best to smile back, Carlisle's face was that of stone, not giving away any emotion..but his thoughts were full of worry, worry for me and worry for all of us and what was still to come. Emmett was looking around at everyone in the room, trying to decide who would be the most fun to fight with. Rosalie was annoyed..like always, she was unhappy that she was here yet happy that I was alright. Jasper was nervous, his military training had taught him to watch the enemy and find their weakness and he had not found any weakness so far.
"Edward." Alice's voice called, her voice filling the inside of my head.
"Alice," I sighed back as I turned and saw her staring at me. "Why did Du bring her with you?"
"I...we didn't." She sagte as she thought of an airport, Rosalie, Emmett and Jasper standing near her as the doors opened against the far wall. I tried not to sigh as I saw Esme and Carlisle walk through the door, followed Von Bella.
"Oh." I sagte as I smiled slightly. "I see."
"Carlisle," Aro said, his voice breaking into my conversation with Alice. "My old friend, Du all look so nervous."
"We are nervous Aro." Carlisle said, knowing that lies would not be tolerated.
Aro stepped closer to Carlisle, holding one hand out for Carlisle to take. Carlisle knew that if he grabbed his hand that Aro would know everything that Carlisle had done since he left the Volturi. Carlisle took a deep breath before he stepped forward, his right hand offered out in front of him.
Aro closed his eyes as he grasped Carlisle's hand and found out our entire past. Everything from when he found and turned me, to the look in Bella's eyes when he told her that the Volturi had me and that they were coming here to find me.
Aro laughed as he stepped back and looked at me, then back to my family. I had seen everything he had and knew that now Aro knew all about what he had felt/gone through to get Bella back..and what we would all do to keep her safe.
