He suddenly kisses her, stepping back into the shade with her.

You're here said Edward.

I'm here said Bella kissing him.

Edward stiffens as two hooded figure comes into view.

I won't be need you're services after all gentle men said Edward.

Aro wants to speak with you again said Felix.

No rules are broken said Edward.

We should take this conversation to a more appropriate venue said Demetri.

Fine. Bella, why don't you stay and enjoy the festival ? said Edward.

The girl comes with us said Felix.

That's not going to happen --- said Edward.

Adelyn suddenly appeared to them, pulling back the hood of her white coat.

Come on guys, it's a festival said Adelyn.

She reaches Edward and Bella positioning herself in a protective stance as well.

We wouldn't want to make a scene said Adelyn.

There won't be any scene. And we'll still win said Felix with a smirk.

But not easily said Edward.

ENOUGH said a small girl.

Felix and Demetri backed off immediately. Edward and Adelyn steps back as well. Bella can see they're afraid of this small girl.

Jane said Edward nodded his head.

" Who is she " asked Bella to Adelyn.

Just do what she says and don't ask any questions said Adelyn.

Jane tosses Edward a over coat.

Follow me said Jane as she simply turned and heads up the alley, confident they'll follow.

Jane leads Edward, Bella and Adelyn through several narrow, dark alley. Their path dead ends at a wall of brick.

Jane just strides forward and without breaking the pace drops down into a open hole in the street, it's a drain. Adelyn follows Jane. Bella looks down, sees nothing but blackness.

It's alright Addy will catch you said Edward taking Bella wrists, dangles her over the hole. Bella closed her eyes as she drops through the darkness just to be caught by Adelyn. Edward lands beside them, then Felix and Demetri.

An elegantly decorated space with old world charm. They're were greeted politely by Gianna. An attractive human receptionist. Bella, Edward and Adelyn faces three ancients as the door opens : Aro, Marcus and Caius.

Aro rises, to greet them like old friends, taking Edward's hand.

What a happy surprise ! Bella is alive after all. Isn't that wonderful ? said Aro.

Caius has a sour expression and Marcus could care less. Aro doesn't release. Edward's hand, looks at him -----

Her blood appeals to you so much it makes me thirsty. How can you both stand to be so close to her ? asked Aro looking both of Adelyn and Edward.

It's not without effort said Edward.

I can see that said Aro laughing.

One touch and Aro can see every thought I ever had in my life said Edward.

You're quite the telepath yourself Edward. But wait you're sister can do a lot more that you interesting but you both cannot read Bella's thoughts. Fascinating said Aro as he releases Edward's hand and turns to Bella.

I would love to see if you are an exception to my gifts as well said Aro reaching for Bella's hand. She hesitates and finally takes it.

A beat as he hold her hand..... confusion sweeping over him.

Interesting said Aro as he releases her, moves back to his chair, deep in thought.

I wonder if ...... said Aro.

NO said Edward.
