I suppose I'll have to wait until the end of the meeting. There was no getting past these guards.
Darting to the next patch of shade, I contemplated how long it might take until the end of the meeting, and whether or not I could wait that long. I could not, would not, go on much longer like this. The war raging inside of me demanded relief, ripping out my heart and leaving a gap in my chest that seared like burning fire. If I had to, I would find some other way to kill myself--but i was not going to put up with this pain.
Maybe I should provoke them. During the time Carlisle, Emmett, and I were attempting to mislead James, part of my brain had been contemplating what I would do if Bella was dead. However, at the time, if had been the key word in that sentence...
I had always figured that I would go the Volturi--it was the easiest, if not only way to die as a vampire. But what to do after I got there was not something I had considered...First on my list, of course, was to ask them. After all, if they understood what I was going through, if Aro could see, they might give me a short, painless death. But if they didn't I could always provoke them.
Maybe I could just step out into the sunlight. Someone would see me, and the vampires would have no choice but to kill me. I would pose a threat to their secret.
I stepped out into the sunlight.
Getting in was easier said then done.
Let me rephrase that--getting in was impossible. Every potential entrance was guarded by two sharp-eyed guards and protected by a sealed gate. Even an illusion wouldn't do me any good--like Thomas' rooms, the gates were enshrouded in a magic-proof cloak that disable my illusion every time I came near.
A white flash drew my eyes to a spot farther along the opposite wall. A sparkling white flash.
There stood a tall, lanky vampire, exposing himself to the sun. He glittered like a thousand tiny white crystals, each reflecting a bright light. I immediately panicked, wondering if he even knew that he was sparkling, posing as a beacon for anyone within a ten mile radius. But looking closer, i saw that he was purposefully exposing himself. He was waiting for someone to spot him, to call the guards, to killhim.
And i knew why, too.
His golden eyes made my heart leap, and his bronze-colored hair was all too familiar. He ripped off his shirt, revealing his perfectly sculpted chest, which was now sparkling. I gasped.
It was Edward.
EDWARD ANTHONY MASEN CULLEN!!!! I screamed inside my head, willing him to hear it. He paused momentarily, hearing my voice, but then stopped. He thought it was a hallucination!!
Launching myself into a sprint, i willed my legs to carry me faster, to close the distance between us. My hair spiraled out behind me, and the wind whipped my face, but i didn't care. All i cared about was getting to the sparkling object a hundred yards away.
I caught a quick look of surprise on his face before i slammed into him.
The impact sent us both crashing into the tree behind him, and emitted a rolling, thunderous noise that echoed out around us. The tree gave way under our weight and collapsed, sending us sprawling.
And then it was over.
I looked into Edward's eyes to gauge his reaction. A million different expressions crossed his face--surprise, worry, happiness, incredulity, and disbelief.
"Bella...?" He croaked.
