End of Chapter 25
***Alice's POV***
"Can we stop this?" Jasper asked.
"No." I whispered.
"Can we save him?" Rose asked.
"I believe so...I couldn't see that. I just saw..her and the rest of them. She had a vision, I'm sure she's like me."
"Shhhh." Jasper said as he held me, the pilot announcing our decent into Italy. I looked over and saw Emmett and Rosalie sharing an embrace, all of us thinking about what was waiting for us in Volterra, but none of us speaking about it.
We landed in town and got our luggage, Emmett excusing himself long enough to go find a vehicle to take us the two hours to town. We were all standing around the luggage carousel when we I had a vision of what would happen in a few moments, Carlisle, Esme and Bella walking through the sliding doors in this very airport. I turned to stare at the doors, Rosalie and Jasper turning at the same time as the three of the walked through the doors...my worst nightmare coming true.
Chapter 26
***Edward's POV***
"Are you sure dear?" Aro laughed as he moved to wrap one arm around Tallulah.
"Yes." She said, her eyes flashing up to meet mine. "A human girl with brown hair, brown eyes..I see someone, a male and a female arriving with her."
"Hmmm a male and a female?" Aro asked as he smiled, his hands rubbing against eachother as if he were anticipating something.
"Yes." She said as she closed her eyes again and looked for something. "Oh.. Aro, it's someone from your past."
Aro looked at me, a grin spreading across his face. I knew that Carlisle and Esme had to have been the people that were seen coming with Bella. How could they have brought her with them, she had promised that she would stay where she was that she wouldn't come looking for me...how could they?
"Edward?" Aro asked as he held out his hand for me to hold it, to find my secrets.
"Ahhh." Aro said as he found the information that he was looking for. "So it is my friend Carlisle and his wife. I have wanted to meet her for quite some time, along with the rest of your..family." I released his hand instantly, knowing that he had seen what I was fearing.
"No." I said, my body tensed and wanting to run.
"Edward, your Bella is on her way here along with the rest of your family, why aren't you happier?" Aro asked.
"Aro, I will do what you want, leave my family and Bella out of this."
"I think it's too late for that Edward, I think it's time for a family reunion. Felix, please go and await their arrival." Aro said as he nodded at Felix. "Demetri, take Edward back to his room. He might want to clean up before he sees everyone."
I went to say no, to argue with Aro..to offer him anything and everything if he would promise to leave my family alone..but as I opened my mouth Demetri charged me, knocking me to the ground. I was instantly on my feet, all the anger and betrayal I was feeling changing into anger..and Demetri was my target.
I charged him, throwing him against the far wall, pieces of stone falling next to him on the floor. He was instantly coming at me again, but his thoughts gave him away. I blocked each of his attacks, smiling as I pushed his hand away or dodged out of the way.
"STOP!" Someone yelled, just as I was about to smash Demetri's head against the floors. "Edward, you are our guest here...I suggest you remember that." Caius said as he entered the room.
"Take him to his room." Aro said as he waved his hand at Demetri. "And, don't harm him."
Demetri came over and grabbed me by my upper arm and pulled me down the hallway back down to the room that was being held for me. He kicked the door open,almost taking it off the hinges before he shoved me in and slammed the door closed.
I ran over to the phone, hoping I could get a hold of someone, to warn them that the Volturi knew they were coming. I lifted the receiver to find that my phone was no longer attached to the wall, that there was no way for me warn my family.I sat on the bed as I realized I could do nothing but wait.

How are you??
Just wanted to write and say that I am back, I'm sorry I was gone for so long...I could come up with LOTS of excuses but I'm just gonna say writers block. It was getting super hard to keep so many stories going at one time..so I'm just gonna say I'm sorry and that I promise I am gonna do everything I can to get back to writing more often :)
