Chapter :

Bella-

When I woke up the next morning, I was surprised to see that the only other person in the room was Jasper.

"They all just left. I told them that you were going to want some space once you woke up," Jasper explained.

I smirked at him. "Are you sure that you are not a mind reader? Because I think you might be."

He laughed. "Nope, that's Edward, darlin'."

"Whats Edward?" rose asked while her and the rest of the family, Jane and Alec included, entered the room. Jasper glared. She raised her hands in front of her.

"We couldn't help it. We have nothing else to do and I knew that she was awake. You can't just hog her all to yourself, you know," Rose said, glaring back at Jasper.

"Watch me," Jasper said, and pulled the blankets up over us. I giggled and suddenly someone started pulling them off. Jasper pulled back and then the blankets were ripped in half. I looked in shock.

"Good job, idiots!" I yelled. I noticed that it was Emmett who was the other one pulling the blankets. Figures.

I started laughing when I looked at their faces. It was filled with shock and hurt. I rolled my eyes.

"I was just kidding. You guys aren't actually idiots."

"I know," Emmett said with that big grin of his.

I raised on eyebrow.

"Well, you may not be an idiot but you are a butt-head."

Everyone started laughing at me.

"Butt-head, Bella? Is that really the best you can do?" He asked.

I just stuck my tongue out at them, which made them all burst into another fit of laughter.

"I'm hungry," I suddenly announced.

They all looked at me shocked. Wow. I seem to he shocking them a lot lately.

"What?" I finally asked.

Rose is the one who answered me. "I think that is the first time that you have ever admitted that you are hungry to us."

I rolled my eyes again.

"Yeah, well, I am. Will someone go and get me food?" I asked and laid back down on the bed. Jasper lifted me back up.

"Oh no you don't! We have a lot to do today. We have to discuss what happened yesterday with Aro."

I pouted. "But if we stay in bed then we can cuddle all day."

He looked so torn. I heard Peter mutter something and then I was being picked up.

"You know how to play your cards, Isabella. I'll give you that."

"Oh whatever do you mean?" I asked in a sweet and innocent tone. Peter just sighed.

"Shut up so that we can go and get you food."

We started walking downstairs, him still carrying me. I noticed the family begin to follow. I waved to all of them. "Hows it going down there?" I asked, since Peter was carrying me on his shoulders so I was taller than all of them.

They all laughed at me.

"Pretty good, though it is a little warm. How is it up there?" Char asked me.

I sighed a contented sigh. "Just right!"

Peter set me down. "Alright, Goldilocks. Here's the kitchen. What do you want?"

"If i pick something out, will one of you make it for me? Vampire cooking is so good for some reason." I blushed while asking.

They all laughed at me again. "Sure, sweetie. Pick something and whoever is best at cooking it we will have them cook it." Esme answered me.

I started to look through the cubards and found some hamburger helper. I love this stuff! I used to make is all the time for Renee and me, since I was the only one who ever cooked.

Esme and Rose came over and took the box from me, since the rest of them just looked at it like it was some foreign object. I sat down at the table and they came to sit with me. Peter and Jasper were having a conversation about what happened yesterday.

"What I want to know is how they got in here. I mean, there are guards everywhere. How could they have possibly gotten in here? Unless, someone let them in."

"You think we're dealing with someone on the inside?" Jasper asked.

Peter shrugged. "You never know with these people. They will do insane things for power, even if it means betraying Aro."

"But they wouldn't be able to. I mean, because of Chelsea."

Peter frowned. "I hadn't even thought about her."

I tuned out. All this talk was giving me a head-ache. I looked around the room and noticed something. Edward was gone.

"Where's Edward?" I asked.

Everyone turned to look at me. "He went to hunt. He should be back in a little while," Rose answered.

"I thought he left to hunt last night? He's still not back yet?" Jasper asked, looking worried.

Rose shrugged, not looking concerned at all. "I have no idea. All I know is that he left to hunt.

Jasper just nodded this time, excepting her answer.

Esme came and put the bowl in front of me, already putting the leftovers in the fridge, knowing that I wasn't going to eat it all.

"So, when she is done eating, we are going to have to go and talk to Aro and the others. All of us," Jasper said.

They all nodded and I continued to eat. This is going to be a long day.

I ate quickly and then we all went to the throne room. Aro, Cauis and Marcus were all in the room along with some of the other guards that I hadn't learned the names of yet.

"Alright. So, we need to discuss what happened yesterday and we also need to talk about what we are going to do when they attack again. Because there is going to be a next time," Aro started the conversation.

"Peter had the idea that we may be dealing with someone on the inside," Jasper replied.

All the guards tensed up. Aro didn't seem to notice and just shook his head.

"Chelsea," was all he said.

Jasper nodded. "Yeah, that's what I thought."

"Well, I only have two guards at each location. With as many as they had, it wouldn't be that hard to kill them. And I had my best ones in here guarding Bella."

I sighed. Of course. This was all going to end up being my fault.

"Why don't I just leave?" I asked.

Everyone, including the guards that I didn't know, looked at me in shock.

"We can't, Bella," Peter said with a sigh.

I shook my head. "Not we. Me."

They all looked at me for a second and then started laughing.

"What?" I demanded.

"You seriously think that we are going to let the princess of the Volturi leave the building with no protection what so ever? Are you insane? Every vampire on earth will be dead and pigs will be flying before that happens." Jane answered.

"Then kill me or change me. Because one of those things are going to happen. I mean, we all know that, don't we?" I said.

"Bella. While Jasper, Char and I are alive, you will be too. Never will we let anything happen to you. What else to we have to do to make you believe that? We fought the damn Volturi for you. And we hadn't even spoken to you then. You're too important to us, and I don't think that you understant that," Peter said and came to stand in front of me. "We will figure this out. But we're not going to change you on a whim and we're sure as hell not going to kill you."

I sighed and nodded. He hugged me, but when we released he still didn't move to stand where he was before. He stayed at my side, and then Jasper and Char came to stand with us too.

"So, we don't know how they got in, but I don't think we should waste time trying to figure it out since we're getting no where. We need to talk about what we're going to do when they attack again. Or better yet, if we're going to attack them," Jasper said.

Aro nodded. "We need to attack them first. And we need to do it soon. They lost a lot of people yesterday. I only lost one guard, and he was a new one. Not fully trained. They won't have time to re-build their numbers if we attack soon."

Jasper asked the question that everyone was wondering. "How soon, exactly?"

Aro looked him straight in the eye and without any sort of hesitation said, "Tomorrow."

OMG! So many things happening! I know it's short, but there is a lot going on right now, and I really wanted to end it here! SO, what are your theories? What is going to happen next? Please review and tell me what you think!
