The phone rings. It is Grandma Bella calling for my mother. I tell her that she is not home and ask my Grandma "what should I do if the Volturi wants to stop me from seeing my boyfriend?"she then replies, "the Volturi won't stop until they get what they come for...ask your mother about it" and hangs up. I then realize that if they want me they will come after my family and that the only way to keep them safe is to hide. I will hide somewhere where the Volturi will never be able to find me, somewhere sunny. The sunniest place I know of is Phoenix so I decide to hide there. I start packing my clothes in the biggest suitcase I own. Of course Great Aunty Alice bought it for me, she said it was for all the 'new clothes' that she thinks that I need but obviously do not. I finish packing my suitcase and go down the stairs. I write a brief note to my mother saying:

Dearest Mom 

Do not to come looking for me, if you do not know already I am in trouble with the Volturi. Because of this I may not be able to come back home, at least not for a while, 

Love Bellamara.

I rush to the front door and start to cry as it fully hits me what I am actually doing, you see this is the most terrifying thing I have ever done. If the Volturi are after you, you are in big trouble. You see my mother went through a similar thing, the Volturi came after her too as they thought she was an immortal child. As I drive to the airport I call Andrew to tell him what is going on, he said he would meet me there in ten minutes. I think that it is time to use my birthday money that Great Grandpa Carlisle gave me, there was just enough to get me on the next plane to Phoenix. I turn around and hear a voice call my name, it is Andrew. I kiss him and tell him that our plane leaves in fifteen minutes. Tears start rolling down my cheeks as I think of all the people I am leaving behind, especially Great Uncle Emmett whose bad jokes always keep me entertained. Fifteen minutes pass and I board on the plane. I kept refusing the flight attendants offers of food and water as I sit in my seat talking to Andrew, he kept saying to me "everything is going to be okay,"and "don't panic so much" but his reassuring manner made me even more scared as I realize that he is only human and that he won't do much good in a fight with the Volturi. I arrive at the airport in Phoenix and look out the window. It was sunny. We collect our bags and catch the first Cab we see and tell him to take us to the nearest motel. When we arrive at the motel, I pay at the front counter and go up to our rooms. That night when I went to bed, sleep did not come easily as I wondered what would happen to me.

* * *

I wake the next morning with a feeling of dread. Something bad was going to happen I could just tell. I have a shower and get dressed into something comfortable as I wonder how I would get the blood that I need. The other bedroom door then opens and Andrew comes out, we decide to go food shopping. I tell him all I need is bread and raspberry jam. He looks at me and said to me "so you eat more than just Blood?" I reply, "Only me and my mother, you see we are only part Vampire" He stops and thinks for a while and says, "that's good, you can live off of human food too," and that was all that was needed to be said. I call a cab and we go to the nearest shopping centre, it was summer so the shops were packed with people who made me feel kind of conspicuous and thirsty. In my mind i was wondering what would happen if i just went to a park and drank a bird's blood, it might have sustained me for just long enough, but I knew I should not. We arrive at the supermarket and I buy my bread and raspberry jam. I could smell it through the glass it smelt so good. I went to the counter and paid for it hoping the Volturi did not know how to trace people through their credit cards.

When we arrive back at the apartment, I start pacing, up and down the hall. I was so nervous and was so sure that something was going to happen, as the feeling had come back. Then the doorbell rang, Andrew called out "I'll get it and I smelt the smell of human blood, just eaten. I scream to Andrew, "no don't answer the door" but it was too late. Aro the head of the Volturi was waiting at the door, waiting for me. I go up to Aro and say in a panicky voice "please, don't kill me, or Andrew, please" Aro answered me with a simple warning, "if you tell anyone else about us, I will kill you" and left. I was shocked; I had gotten off so lightly. Even when my mother was the reason for fighting there was more fuss. I thought to myself that this could not be all he was going to do, and why did he come by himself. I decide to risk calling my parents to tell them about this strange event. I grab my phone and dial the number that was so familiar. My mother answers, "hello, who is this," I reply "it's me mom, by any chance do you have a clue about why i got off so lightly with Aro," she replies, "you got off lightly?" and I tell her, "yes, all he said was that if I told anyone else, that he would kill me, why would that be." My mother then asked a question "did he come by himself?" and I tell her, "yes, he did," "that's strange," she murmured, seemingly to herself/ So even my mother was surprised, that didn't make any sense. A couple of hours later as I drift of to sleep, I am still questioning the strange encounter and what it really did mean and what the real reason was that I got off so lightly.
