Over the next couple of months everything stays the same. I can't seem to help Bella. She's being reckless now, doing stupid things like riding motorcycles and jumping off cliffs. And no one can stop her. The only person that is SLIGHTLY succeeding is Jacob. But after a while even he bailed on her. I thought he was alright.

I was wrong.

So now we're back to square one. Well, I mean until today.

A knocking on the door causes me to put down my book - which I was thoroughly enjoying - and answer it. Standing there is a woman. A woman wearing a blue scarf with jeans and a jumper. She lowers her sunglasses and frowns at me. "Oh hello. I'm Alice Cullen. It's a pleasure to meet you. Do you know where Bella is?" She asks.
"Oh so you're a Cullen. Well then, you can go STRAIGHT TO HELL." I yell at the end before slamming the door in her face.

"Excuse me! I need to talk to Bella NOW! IT'S URGENT!" She shouts from outside. Ha. Like Bella will come. "Bella someone called Alice is here to see you!" I call upstairs. Seconds later I see Bella running down the stairs. She wrenches open the door and looks at Alice. "Is he here? Is he ok? Alice what is going on?!" She demands.
"Bella! Oh thank God you're alive! Have you ANY idea what you've put us through? Edward thinks you're dead! I did for a second. I had a vision of you jumping off a cliff! How could you be so reckless?!" Alice gasps. "I -"
"It doesn't matter now. He's going to the Volturi so that they can kill him too. We need to get to Italy NOW! Come on!" Alice demands, grabbing our hands and rushing out of the house.

"Wait why am I coming?" I demand. Alice ignores me and I slide into the back of the bright yellow Lamborghini. Bella and Alice get in the front and she begins to drive off. "Oh God." I mutter. How did I get caught up in  this?!

"ALICE DRIVE FASTER!" Bella screeches.
"I'm trying!" Alice snaps as we skid into the town and begin to go down the cobbles roads. People wearing red capes jump out of the way until we are stopped by a police car. "Quick Bella run! You need to get to him before the clock strikes twelve or he'll reveal himself to everyone! And you Quinn!" Alice hisses. "Wait who are the Volturi? What do you mean by -" I'm cut off by Alice glaring at me and I jump out the car.

We battle through the crowd and then I spot a man standing in the shadows of a large doorway. He steps out and sparkles as the clock chimes twelve. SPARKLES?! "EDWARD NO!" Bella screams, practically jumping him
People turn to look and watch, but he's already stepped back, much to the persuasion of Bella. "What is GOING on." I groan as they kiss and hug. This is crazy.

Alot happens after that but I'm not really listening. I walk back outside before being dragged in by Alice. Where the hell did SHE come from?! "Alice let me wait outside I'm confused and I don't -"
"Aro sent me to see what was taking so long. Follow me." A young girl interrupts. She looks to be around 14, and has red eyes. Geez this country likes red alot. Alice places a finger to her lips and grabs my hand, squeezing it gently in reassurance. This is just moving too fast.

We all bundle into an elevator and two other men - who are really tall by the way - accompany us. Classical music plays in the shaft to try and get rid of the somewhat tense atmosphere but it doesn't work. The lift dings and we all walk out, following the blonde haired girl. "Is she a vampire?" Bella asks Edward. "No. She's human. She wants to be one though." Edward replies.
"Either that or dessert." The blonde haired girl cackles.

Now hold on a damn minute.

DID THEY JUST SAY VAMPIRES?!

THEY DON'T EXIST!!

Before I can say anything we are bundled into a large room. Three men sit on golden thrones wearing some sort of black capes. What is this a cult?! "I sent you to collect on and you brought two.... and two halves. Clever girl." The man in the middle with raven black hair chirps, standing up. His eyes are red too. "Two halves make a whole dumbass." I mutter. He quickly turns and glares at me. Then he stops. His head cocks to one side and he grins at me. Weird. "And who is this? I don't believe we've met before." He asks gently.
"Well obviously not." I sigh, rolling my eyes. He extends his hand and I frown. Instead I wave at him and turn to Alice.

"Alice can I go now? I've helped you save sparkly Edweirdo over here and I'm not interested in joining a cult." I huff. The black haired man laughs and I slowly turn back to him. "Oh how enchanting you are mi amore." He grins. I take a few steps back and look around the room. Wrong move. My eyes lock with another pair of red eyes which widen before the owner growls softly, "Mine."
I blink and look at the blonde haired man. Nah this is just weird now. "Well imma head out. Byeeeeee." I say, turning and walking towards the door. The men from before block it and I take a step away from them. "Bella what the HELL have you got me into?" I demand, feeling a panic attack start to creep up on me.

"Oh does she not know?" The black haired man giggles. He seizes my hand in his cold one and kisses it lightly. "I am Aro. One of the leaders of the vampires. And you are?"
"B - but vampires don't exist." I argue  shaking slightly. He closes his eyes for a while, still holding my hand before opening them again. "Nobody told her?" He questions. Alice and Bella shake their heads. "My dear, we DO exist." Aro says gently.
