《Lilliana Swan》Chapter 17
Advertisement
As we are driving down the road Bella keep playing with her seat Bella.
"Maybe Jacob's right. No. You need to realize - the Volturi could easily see me as Edward's accomplice. And you're a human who knows too much and tastes too good. They could kill us all." Alice said
"Well not me." I said
Alice and Bella both glared at me. Bella stops playing with her seatbelt. She wants to go and she is not going to change her mind now or ever. As we drove Bella looked out the window watching the trees pass us. But soon Bella falls asleep. I'm sitting in the back of the car and I'm sending myself to Volturi. I see the car and the trees fade and soon was replaced by the marble walls and thrones. Soon Aro, Marcus, and Caius appeared. As did Edward.
"Have you decided?" Edward asked
"It was an intriguing debate. We don't get many suicidal vampires." Aro said
"Pathetic." Caius said
"I'm afraid your gifts are too valuable to destroy. But if you're unhappy with your lot, join us. We'd be delighted to utilize your skills." Aro said
"So you won't end this." Edward said
"Not without cause." Marcus said
I could practically see the gears in Edward's head spinning. Edward bows then leaves the room.
"Such a waste." Aro says
Then the room starts to fade and is replaces with the car and trees. We drive for a little bit longer before we get on a plane and fly to Italy. Once we land Alice heads to find a car. She pulls up a little while later in a yellow Porsche.
"Where'd you ge the car?" Bella asked
"Hope you're not opposed to grand theft auto." Alice said
"Not today." Bella said
We get in and Alice floors it. We speed down a highway passing and weaving through other car's. Bella grips the dashboard as Alice narrowly misses a car.
"How much time do we have." Bella said
"He's waiting till noon. When the sun's at its highest...he's going to make the Volturi change their minds." Alice said
Bella looks at the clock.
"It's almost noon now." Bella said
"There's Volterra." Alice said
Alice punches the as Bella looks at the town in front of us. The narrow centuries old streets are crowded with festival revellers dressed in red. They are all moving towards the town square.
"Why are they all wearing red?" Bella asked
"San Marcos Day festival." I said
"The perfect setting. Large crowds. The Volturi won't let him get far enough to reveal himself - he's counting on that." Alice said
"We only have five minutes--" Bella said
Alice comes to stop at a road block. The Italian police wave her back. Bella jumps out of the car.

"Where's the square?" Bella asked
"Follow that lane--" Alice said
Bella takes off running.
"He'll be under the clock tower." Alice said
Alice drives away from the crowd and parks and we go to find Edward and Bella. We find them just inside the clock tower but they weren't alone. I kept my sun glasses on even though we were inside.
Com on, guys, it's a festival." Alice said
Alice reaches Bella and Edward, positioning herself in a protective stance as well.
"We wouldn't want to make a scene." Alice said
"There won't be a any scene. An we'll still win." Felix said
"But not easily--" Edward says
"Enough." Jane voice says
I see Jane appear from the shadows. Dressed in black and red.
"Jane." Edward says
"Who is she?" Bella asked
"Just do as she says." Alice said
Jane tosses Edward an overcoat, he puts it on.
"Follow me." Jane says
We all then follow her. Edward takes Bella's hand. We all then get into a elevator. Once we arrive on are desired floor we all get out we pass Gianna a human receptionist.
"Buon pomeriggio." Gianna says
We pass the lobby and we reach the carved double doors which open as we approach. We walk in to see the three "ancients" plus eight Volturi guard including Jane, Felix, and Demetri line the walls. I see Bella look down and her eyes follow a depression which leads to a drain. Aro rises from his seat and walks towards Edward. He then grabs Edward's hand and shakes it.
"What a happy surprise. Bella is alive after all. Isn't that wonderful?" Aro asked
She the thing about me is that I mead sure that when Aro grabbed Edward's hand he couldn't see me in his memories. Or anyone else's memory.
I look up to the thrones to see that my favorite leader has a sour expression on his face while Marcus could care less. Aro still has yet to release Edward's hand.
"Her blood appeals to you so much it makes me thirsty. How can you stand to be so close to her?" Aro asked
"It's not without effort." Edward said
"I can see that." Aro said laughing
Bella shoots Edward a look so he explains.
"One touch and Aro can see every thought I've ever had in my life." Edward said
So he is basically Edward with a power up. I said to Bella
Okay. She said back
"You're quite the telepath yourself, Edward. Though... you can't read Bella's thoughts. Fascinating." Aro said
Aro releases Edward's hand finally and turns to Bella.
"I would love to see if you are an exception to my gifts, as well." Aro said
Aro reaches for Bella's hand. She hesitates. Aro laughs he further extends his hand and Bella takes it. A second passes and you can see confusion sweep over him.

"Interesting." Aro say
Aro releases her, moves back to his chair, and is deep in thought.
"I wonder if--" Aro said
"No." Edward yells
Oh come on Eddie share what you read with the rest of us. I thought
"Let's see if she's immune to all out powers, shall we Jane?" Aro asked
Jane turns toward Bella but Edward spring in front of her. Jane instead focuses her gaze on Edward which flings him across the room where he collapses, writhing in agony. Jane has a small smile on her face enjoying his pain.
"Stop." Bella yells
Alice and her then rush to his side. While I stay in my spot bored out of my mind. Hell even I have a smile on my face, I even laugh a little bit. Which cause Jane to look at me instead of Edward stopping his pain.
"Jane, dear. The girl?" Aro asked
Jane's gaze turns to Bella who cringes, awaiting the pain that will never come. Jane's grin is replaces by anger. Aro laughs like a child with a new toy.
"Remarkable. She confounds us all. So what do we do with you now?" Aro asked
"You already know what you'll do, Aro." Marcus said bored but his eyes have yet to leave me.
"She knows too much; she's a liability." Caius said
"That's true. Unless Edward intends to give her immortality... But that's nit your intention, is it. Shame" Aro said
Aro nods his head and Felix moves toward Bella. I move towards Bella as Edward tackles him.
"Edward, don't" Bella said
Alice leaps to help but several Volturi guard hold her back, which is not a easy job. Edward will lose, but he'll go down fighting. Edward is fast and is anticipating Felix's moves before he makes them, but Felix is stronger. Felix grabs Edward, throws him into the ceiling the he falls to the floor like a stone. He is then kicked across the room.
Please Ana stop them. Please. Bella pleaded
I took off my sunglasses. Put them in the purse I had and gave it to Bella.
"Stop." I said
And just like that they all stop. I walk over to Edward and pick him and put him on his feet. I then everyone move again. Felix runs towards me but to the surprise of everyone in the room Caius hi in front of me. Felix stops. I look up to Aro.
"Bella will be a immortal even if that means I'm the one to change her." I said
"I've seen it." Alice said
Alice walks up and offers her hand to Aro who gladly takes it.
"Please. Be my guest." Aro say
"Not here. Her farther is in law enforcement. If she goes missing. There will be questions." Alice said
"He is easily dealt with." Caius said
Caius is still standing a few inches from me, his eyes still not leaving me. Aro takes Alice's outstretched hand.
"Mesmerizing. To se the things you've seen, that haven't happened yet. Your gift will make for an intriguing immortal. Go make your preparations." Aro said
Bella moves to be as close to Edward as possible.
"You're letting them leave?" Caius asked
"Dear Caius, the girl's disappearance will be conspicuous at best. And surely you see her potential." Aro said
"Let us be done with this. Heidi will arrive any moment." Marcus said
Aro makes a move and Demetri opens the door.
"Come one Ana the whole family is coming back." Alice said
I look at Aro who moves from his throne I walk up stairs and sit down in his seat. Everyone in the room is taken back.
"I think I might stay awhile. Maybe get a bite to eat. Plus you guys can't care to much I mean none of you even said goodbye to me. Plus can have all the fun I want here. Oh and Bells I'm just a phone call away." I said
With that Demetri lead them out.
"Nice fishing, Heidi, save some for me." Demetri said
"This way, please. Stay together..." Heidi said
The tourists file past them and into the room. I can hear all the different languages from German to Japanese to English. As the doors close everyone lunges at the people. To my spurries one of the tourist makes their way to me.
"Johnathan sends his regards." the girls say
I smile. Then I feed. When I was done. Marcus then came up to me.
"Why?" Marcus asked
"Marcus you are going to have to be a little more specific." I said
"You are so broken I can see you have meet your mate but you are here with us instead of with them?" Marcus asked
"He left. He didn't tell me. I got mad. Remember what happened the last time I got mad." I said
All three leaders laughed. Caius then came up to me and grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the room. We were barley out of the room when he pushed me against a wall and kissing me. Were in his chambers in less than five. And both naked by then. And going at for the past two hours. I then feel that Bella is calling, not like on the cell phone but thought the bond we share.
"Caius I'm being called." I said
"Do you have to?" Caius asked
"Yes, but I'll try to get back. Hey can I borrow a shirt?" I asked
"Wait you plan on leaving this room in nothing but your fish nets, one of my shirts, and your heels." Caius said
"Well I would have left in the clothes I arrived in but some tore them off me, along with my bra and panties." I said
Caius just laughed and tossed me a shirt. I put it on. I walked over to Caius and kissed him one last time before walking out his bedroom door and flaming. I then arrived where Bella was which was the Cullen house.
"Hello sister." I said

Re: Dragonize
After an unexpected turn of events, Drew must now survive in a world full of challenges with life-or-death stakes. Gone are the days when the biggest problems to face were awkward small-talk at physics department luncheons or mountains of lab work; this former physicist is now adrift in an unfamiliar land without any equipment. Now, Drew's only tool (if it can be called that) is a System, which provides constant reminders of all of the things that are still out of reach for a low-level being who's just arrived in a new world. Luckily, Drew has one powerful asset when taking on the challenges of this new world: surviving violent conflict is a lot easier when you have the power of a dragon at your disposal. Still, Drew has always considered violence a last resort. Why turn to fists (or claws) when a bit of quiet consideration might expose a better path forward? Maybe a life of quiet contemplation is still within reach for this former academic researcher. ...Or maybe not. It probably won't be a life of bloodless pacifism. Additional information for those who wish to calibrate their expectations (I'm adding this based on a few comments I received from readers who feel that the story is not what they expected from a dragon-themed story): Re: Dragonize is not a power fantasy -- or at least, it's not intended to be one. Re: Dragonize is a progression fantasy starting with a protagonist who must start at the bottom (or close to it), and work gradually upwards, making incremental progress with plenty of setbacks along the way. The protagonist, as someone coming from the world of academia, tends to be cautious, methodical, and contemplative. As such, expect this story to contain more than a few digressions as the main character takes the time to pontificate on a variety of topics ranging from Newtonian physics and horology to the nature of existence and the ethical dilemmas associated with being an obligate carnivore.
