Chapter 8

Unfortunately we had to return home at some point. We knew that when we did the Volturi would be on their way.

I was carrying Edward on my back, Emmet, Rose, Alice, and Jasper were a little ahead of me; the others slightly behind. Alice gasped more than loud enough for all of us to hear as she stopped dead in her tracks. I ran up to her and set Edward down, "What is it?" I asked.

"A vision." Jasper replied from beside her.

"They'll be there when we get home." Alice said, somewhat still in a daze.

"The Volturi?" Carlisle asked.

"Yes." Alice nodded as she snapped back to reality.

"We have no option but to go and meet them." I sighed, "They'll only come and find us anyway."

"It was only the three of them." Alice reminded us, "Jane, Alec and Felix."

"We can take them if needs be." Emmet smirked.

"Are they coming for me?" Edward asked.

"Yeah." I sighed, "But you'll be okay."

"You follow last Bella, we'll go ahead and see what they want." Carlisle told me.

"Emmet, will you stay back with us?" I asked him.

"Sure." He nodded and kissed Rose before the others left. The three of us began to walk as a human pace through the woods, giving the others chance to get aead.

"Why do they want me?" Edward asked.

"Because you're human." I said bluntly.

"That doesn't answer my question." Edward frowned as we walked.

"It's because you know what we are, they're afraid of you uncovering our secret to the rest of the human race and then we'll all be killed off." Emmet explained as we walked, "That's the only thing they're scared of." He muttered.

"What?" Edward asked, still confused.

"Being killed off." I sighed as we stopped, Emmet and I could hear the others talking in the house.

"Jane," Carlisle was saying, "What a surprise."

"I doubt it really was a surprise." Jane remarked, no doubt referring to Alice's visions.

"What can we do for you?" Esme asked, trying to keep everyone calm.

"We've come to see Edward and Bella." Jane responded.

"Mom and dad are busy at the moment." Ness replied, Thank god they're out of Edward's earshot! I thought.

"We shall just have to wait for them then." Alec replied.

"What is it?" Edward whispered.

"Shh." Emmet hushed him.

"You know full well what Aro had done to Edward." Alice spoke up, "Why do you need to see him?"

"Like we said the rules still apply." Felix reminded her.

"And Edward will be turned, probably a whole lot sooner than some of your 'receptionists' are 'dealt with'." Rosalie spat.

"Jane, you're thirsty." Jasper remarked, "Edward is human, you seeing him is more likely to reveal our true identity to him than we are."

"How do we know he doesn't already know what we are?" Alec asked.

"You will have to take our word for it." Carlisle responded, "And in two years we shall perhaps pay you a visit."

"Very well," Jane gave in, "unless we have reason to see you before."
