Reign • Volturi Kings (ON HOLD)

Chapter 3

^ Outfits for chapter ^

I woke up the next day with a smile on my face, excited. I showered and brushed my teeth. After I finished I dressed a soft, pink long sleeve that was cropped, with high waisted nike workout pants. I made my way downstairs quickly, but carefully and poured myself honey bunches of oats cereal into a bowl.

A knock on the front door made me set it down and open it. And the sight did no fail me one bit. Bella was standing there, with a handsome man next to her. I thought I saw his lips twitch up a little but I ignored it.

"Well? Are you gonna hug me or stare at me all day?" My cousin laughed and brought me into a hug. She was cold and hard, but I didn't say anything about it. "I'm really missed you Bells." I couldn't help but let a tear free. "I did too, cousin."

"Alright, come in, its freezing out here and I don't have socks on." They both stepped inside and I shut the door. I turned around, "I'm assuming you must be... Ah what was it, Eric? No, Ethan? Am I close?" I asked teasingly.

He shook his head and went along with it, eyes full of mirth. "Edward, it's a pleasure to meet you, Genevieve." He held out his hand,  and I shook. He was unbelievably cold, but it also was freezing outside. "Likewise, Cullen."

We sat down, in the living room and chatted for a while. It was nice to finally be able to see her and hang out like old times. "So how far along are you?" Edward asked. "I'm about ten weeks so far." I replied, I absentmindedly rubbed over the bump on my stomach.

"Have you gone to a doctor yet?" My cheeks heated at Bella's question. "No, not yet. There kind of expensive and I don't have much money right now. I got a job at The Lodge, so my first paycheck will go to that."

Edward shook his head, "Nonsense. My father is a doctor, he would be happy to help you out." Bella looked at him and then me with a warm smile. "Are you sure? As soon as i have the money I'll pay him back. No handouts." I gave him a look.

"Alright, I'll talk to him. He's free tomorrow, we have an ultrasound machine at our home." Bella butted in, "We'll pick you up tomorrow at 2:00 pm. No ifs, ands, or buts." I smiled widely and thanked them profusely. They left not long after.

I went upstairs to the room I stayed in, which was conveniently Bella's old room. Charlie redecorated it with the help of his 'lady friend' Sue Clearwater. I didn't know he had it in him to get back into the game. She seemed nice, although I haven't met her yet. He said he'd bring around when she'd come back from her spa trip she planned with her daughter and some friends.

Before I laid down i grabbed my sketchpad. It wasn't much, but it felt nice to have something new, and in neat condition. I let my mind wonder as I drew. I frowned at what I came up with, some weird necklace. It was V-shaped, and it colors were not red, and gold. I flipped the sketchpad closed and decided to take a nap.

A few hours later I woke up. I knew Charlie was having a late night tonight but I still made dinner. I finished my plate, and put a decent amount of chicken alfredo in the microwave on a separate plate. Cleaning up my mess and headed straight for my bed. It was already 9:35 pm. I quickly set my alarm and fell back asleep.

I don't know where i am. The room I'm in is ancient. There are large columns that make up the room leading into a very large, beautiful stained glass window. I look back in front of me and there are three thrones. The one in the middle seems sightly larger than the other, but nonetheless, they seem to be fit for Kings. 

The room suddenly dims, not completely dark, but enough for me see the outlines of the room. Three shadows stand out, all of the have the same build as a man would. And then there in front of me. My heart pounds as I gaze into three sets of red eyes, and a whimper escapes before I can stop it.
