Lily Annabelle Cullen: A What If Story

Chapter 3: Trouble To Avoid

(Alec's POV)

          I was running through the forest to see if the princess ate recently. She likes to lead people to her tree. When I arrived, I saw the body's. It was only four males. I buried them quickly but then noticed that the princesses scent was not the only one's here. Another vampire saw her. I must report this to Aro. Hopefully the vampire who saw her hasn't gotten far. I will personally rip their head off and burn them.

(Lily's POV)

           I was waited for Alec by myself. I sent Jane to go prepare my food. Tonight I am eating a steak fully cooked. I had a vision that he would tell Aro about Edward's scent. He didn't know it was him but Aro might. I heard the door open. I looked up to see a stunned Alec. I put on the charm. "Uncle Alec! Where have you been?"

           "Not now princess. I must see one of the masters about something very important." Okay. I'm going to have to use some heavy duty compulsion on him. This is going to be difficult. He was about to walk off.

           "Alec." He stopped. "I want you to look me in my eyes." He turned to look at me in my eyes. When ever I use compulsion, my eyes turn a hypnotic black and white. Aro still doesn't know about that and I won't tell him. "I want you to forget that scent that you found tonight. When you see Aro or anyone else in the Volturi, you will forget the scent and this conversation." Once he nodded, I let him go. "Hi uncle Alec." That was all I remembered because then everything went black. I passed out.

(Jane's POV)

           I was finished making Lily's dinner. I set the table for. I was walking down the hall when I saw Felix rushing in the same direction where Lily was. I quickly stopped him. "Felix, what's going on?"

           "The princess has fainted. Aro is on his way back. Alec had just walked in. We don't know what's wrong or why she passed out." My jaw dropped. We then ran faster than we ever ran. The princess is our main priority when Aro and the brother's are out. Caius and Marcus are in a meeting of some sorts. I have to get to her. As we ran, my mind tried to calculate the many reasons on why she could have passed out. I went through many possibilities. When we got there, I figured it out.

           "She used magic again. She must have used a very powerful magic this time. She has grown stronger in her abilities." Her eyes started to fluttered open after I finished speaking. She looked directly at me.

           "Jane. Is my dinner ready yet?" We all laughed. Even when recovering, she is still able to joke around. She really is adorable.

           "Yes princess. Everything is all set up in the dining hall."

           "Alec. I want you to carry me to my seat. It is your punishment for not saying goodbye before you left; for not calling, texting or emailing me while you were gone; and for coming home late." We all laughed.

           "Hey Alec. You're lucky. My punishment last time I did that was to be her dog for the entire week. I don't think the masters have stopped laughing yet." Felix was a numb skull for that. He promised her a story and was late getting home. Though I must admit, that was pretty funny. We still make fun of him for it. She even made him eat dog food and dog biscuits.

           "Yes my princess." We all walked to the dining hall with our princess to await orders. I hope she will be okay.

(Aro's POV)

            I was out shopping for a new laptop for Lily. She had been complaining about her old one acting slow. As I was leaving, I had received a text from Alec. Alec is Jane's twin brother. They are my most prized members. But they come after my princess. Lily had passed out. I quickly walked to the forest. When I was behind the tree line, I put my hood on and ran home at top speed. When I arrived, Felix was waiting for me. "Aro. The princess has requested you in the dining hall." I nodded and followed him. I guess she wants to ask me something important. She never lets anyone interrupt her dinner. I saw Alec standing outside the door. That means Jane must be inside with her.

            "Wait out here Felix." I stepped inside to see her drinking orange juice out of a sippy cup.

            "Wait outside with the others Jane." Jane looked a little worried and nervous. I wonder what is going on.

            "Yes princess." She bowed and exited into the hall. She was such a wonderful person when it came to the princess.

            "What may I do for you princess Lily?" She held up her left hand. A minute later Heidi came in with Caius and Marcus. I was slightly confused.

            "Thank you Heidi. You may go." She bowed and left. "Please take a seat." The way she said it made it seem more like a command more than an offer of kindness.

             "You summoned us young mistress?" Marcus for some unknown reason calls her young mistress.

            "Please great-grandpa Marcus, call me princess Lily. I have summoned you because I am ready to choose a coven to watch after me. By the time I leave with them, I will have learned all that I need to know about the coven of  my choice." She looked at each of us. I spoke up.

          "We will be fine with your decision. Please tell us what coven you have chosen so we may summon them to come to us." She smiled a little sadly at us. I hope it isn't the Cullen's.

          "I would like to stay with the illustrious Olympic Coven. From what I have read, they stay in one place for a few years."

         "Princess, are you sure?" I really didn't want her to but she must learn however she wishes to. Even if she has to go to school as well.

        "Yes. My choice has been finalized. I hope you respect my wishes." She had tears welling up in her eyes. I want our princess to be happy. I looked to my brothers and knew they were thinking the same as I. Then I turned back to our beautiful princess.

            "When would you like us to summon them?

(Lily's POV)

           I was happy that I was able to convince them. I was sitting in Aro's study while he called Carlisle. Since he and Esme won't be able to make it, they are sending Rosalie and Emmett as replacements. They will arrive in about two weeks. They have no idea that they are getting a person and not a package. I danced around until I remembered something. "Aro? I have some books I need to pick up during the day. I'll use my special powers to disguise myself." I was pleading with him to let me go. I didn't use any compulsion on him so he can completely trust me.

          "What time will you be leaving?" I jumped up smiling brightly.

          "11:55 a.m." He sighed but nodded and told me to rest. I was walking to my room when I saw Jane. "Jane. Will you do me a favor?" I asked really sweetly.

          "Yes. How may I help you princess?"

         "Get me a pretty sundress to wear tomorrow. My hair will be black."

        "As you wish princess." She walked off to do as I asked. I set my alarm to wake me up at 11 in the morning. I'll have blood for breakfast. I slept peacefully, dreaming of Edward.
