End of Chapter 3
***Emmett's POV***
"You want to go left here, and move fast if possible..they have a patrol that walked this hall often. Go Now." Tallulah said, and in that one moment I knew that she wasn't trying to trick us..that she wanted us all to get out safe.
I looked over at Carlisle who nodded slightly as he stepped out into the hallway, moving carefully but trusting Tallulah. He quickly looked around the corner, his head coming back quickly as he nodded, all of us fallowing him around the corner and through another tunnel on the left.
We ran in silence, the only sound that of Tallulah as she quietly whispered the turns that we needed to take. I'm positive that the Volturi had built this in the idea that if anyone were stupid enough to try and escape that the poor soul would be lost in these tunnels for God knows how long until they got cornered and either captured or killed...and in this moment I was sure glad to have Tallulah with us, even though I wasn't sure she could or should be trusted.
Chapter 5
***Bella's POV***
Being in Volterra was the most frightening thing I had ever experienced..well..so I thought. As we all crept through the maze that lie beneath the compound I realized that this was the scariest thing I have ever done.
I had Jasper on one side of me and Rosalie on the other, which only lasted a few seconds. I don't know what was said between Edward, Alice and Rosalie but a minute later Alice moved up next to me and gave me an encouraging smile.
I opened my mouth to ask why her and Rosalie swapped spots but Alice just shook her head and put her finger on her lips. I gave her what I thought was my mean face..but judging by the smile on her lips it didn't work the way I thought it would. I shook my head and looked at my feet, wishing for the millionth time that I could communicate with someone the way Alice did with Edward or just to hear what Edward was thinking. I turned my head to the side so I could look at him, and I saw him wink and smile at me before I felt a ice cold hand on my arm. I gasped, quickly trying to hide the sound as I turned and looked at Jasper who shook his head and nodded to the front.
I shrugged in agreement and did my best to keep my eyes on Esme and Tallulah, the new vampire who was 'suppose' to be leading us out of here. I didn't know why they all believed her..I mean she had played a big part in getting us all here..in getting Edward trapped here so we would all come looking for him, and now we were all just trusting her to lead us out and not into the hands of the Volturi who I'm sure would kill us all.
That thought had my heart pounding so hard I'm surprised that the sound wasn't echoing off the walls of the tunnel. I felt tears welling up in my eyes as I looked around at the people I considered family..family..Charlie. Oh my god..Charlie. He was going to be so mad at me if I get home..and if I don't make it back..oh my god. I didn't realize I was hyperventilating until Jasper put his hand on my arm and got me to look at him.
"Bella," He said softly.
"Jazz." I heard Emmett say. "Stop her, they'll find us instantly."
I knew they were talking about me, but I couldn't stop myself, my body was paralyzed in hear and my breath was coming out in ragged gasps. I tried to control myself, to calm my breathing, but nothing would work. Alice's arms wrapped around me, pulling me against her cold, hard chest. I could hear her whispering calming things, telling me it would be alright but no matter what she said I continued to sob and gasp. Edward was there instantly, taking me from Alice and into his arms. He pulled my face back enough that he could look into my eyes.
"Bella," He said as he used his finger tips to move the hair out of my face. "Love, please slow your breathing. You're causing too much noise, please my Bella."
I tried, and tried to calm myself to get myself under control..he was right I was going to give away our position. I could hear him encouraging me to breath in and out, and I did my best to breath along with him and slowly my gasps were softer and I was feeling calmer then I had in days. I turned to see Jasper smiling at me, and I knew that he had a lot to do with me calming down.
"You alright now?" Edward said as he hugged me.
"No." I said softly.
"She'll be fine." Alice said as she smiled at both of us.
"We need to be going." Jasper said softly, and I wondered what feelings he was getting from everyone.
"I'm ok." I said as I did my best to smile before heading back to stand between Alice and Jasper.
We kept walking, my anxiety growing with every step but I did my best to keep it in control. We made so many turns that I knew there was no chance I could figure out where we were. We mad made a turn to the right when everyone stopped quickly, well everyone but me..I ran into Esme's feet. I was about to ask what was going on when Alice and Tallulah both turned and looked at eachother.
"They found us." They both said in unison.
