[ON HOLD] IL MIO TESORO • C.Volturi

Chapter 2

"So, let me get this straight, your friends, and this dude that just so happens to be your boyfriend, are vampires.
You decide to become suicidal, and jumped off a cliff; one of your friends had a vision, and told your 'boyfriend', and now he thinks that you are dead. so he's going to the vampire royalty, who just so happen to locate in Italy, to ask to be killed. Are you mental?!"

How, was Bella being so calm about this?
They are vampires for f***'s sake.

But all she said was, "Yeah, that's about it. And, no. I'm not mental."

Gosh, how is she not dead already? I mean, yeah, I haven't seen her for what? Three years now? And she just happens to get a boyfriend. Geez, girl.

'Beep beep. Beep beep', the beeping of my phone told me that Bella had hung up on me.

I felt the need, to know more about what had happened. I wasn't sure whether Bella was joking when she talked about vampires, but the way she said things, made me consider the fact that something was out there, that wasn't something like aliens.

And, evenso, to be able to connect with Bella again, my long lost buddy, would make me happy, and content.

And so, after I had boarded the plane, and found my seat, I leaned against the window that overlooked what was now just clouds. I let my mind drift off, into sleep.

Bella was standing there, next to me, clinging to a guy, whose face was covered by the darkness of the shadows.

We stood in a torch-lit hallway that looked to be at least centuries old, practically the definition of ancient.

She said something to me, but I couldn't hear what she was saying. I couldn't speak either. All I could do was wait, for what was to come.

Having just, nearly been crushed by a hoard of strangers wearing red, we had decided to take refuge, in the nearest place of shelter, which just so happened to be this hallway.

The difference between the two atmospheres was definitely juxtaposing, and it wasn't any better, when all the running around making me feel sick.

Although we were now safe, the tense aura never faded away.

But, as I looked up, everything looked blurry, and I couldn't concentrate.

All I could do, or the only thing that was physically possible to do, in that point in time, was to look into some cute blonde guy's red eyes.

And then, of course my body shut down, and everything went black.

"Excuse me, coming through." I mumbled, as loud as I dared, as I tried to get through the maze of people.

I had no idea where I was going, so I just followed my instincts, even-though there was more than likely a chance that they were incorrect.

My phone rang, and Bella's name at the top, made me automatically pick it up. "I can see you now," she said, to which, I sighed a breath of relief, since I wasn't lost, in s country that wasn't my own.

I looked around, desperately trying to find out where exactly my dearest cousin was.

"I'm on your right, next to the big pillar."

And then she hung up on me, for the second time, in less than 2 days.

Right. Right. Right. I looked to my right, and after a few minutes, had indeed found a pillar, big enough to fit the description given.

It wasn't quite as difficult, as I thought it would be, but that was mostly because I nearly walked into it, trying to find it.

And then I saw her. Bella. My cousin.

And although we were cousins, it was almost as if we were the sisters each other had never had.

"BELLA!!!" I kinda scream-shouted.

Everyone who was around me, turned towards me, but I just ignored them, and ran to where she was, which wasn't far, only a few metres away from where I stood.

She laughed at my reaction, and proceeded to bring me into a hug.

It was then that I realised that there was a girl standing next to her. One of the vampires? She must have noticed me looking at her, because, after Bella had let go of me, she held out her hand, and said, "Hi, I'm Alice, Edward, Bella's boyfriend's, sister."

There was a slight pause, before she said, "And you are?"

Oh how rude of me.

"I'm Arabelle, Bella's cousin."
