Anna's POV:

Here I was now on my way to Italy to become dinnertime for the most powerful Vampire coven on this planet.

I lost it.

I don't even know how often I told that to myself but I can't let Edward died for whatever reason.

I'm worried about a lot of things right now but one of my biggest worries is, if Edward will be able to read my mind if that is the case, we are going into our death.

I'm trying to push this worry away I mean I smell like her maybe I am also a shield and I better be or the saga ends with New Moon.

Alice called the other Cullen's and informed them about the situation, she told me about the Volturi, about her discovering her past and what she has been doing so far.

All the while she told I tried to listen but first I knew all this and I was a complete bunch of nerves. There aren't words to describe how messed up I felt. It wasn't about the suicidal mission we were on, I don't think my mind was even registering it.

Hmm….something to think about if I was able to use my mind now would I be also here or would I have stayed with this Jake guy. Oh who am I kidding I would be here, were else could I be in this situation.

But back to the point what freaked me out was that I was in Twilight with Alice sitting next to me.

I already know it's going to be a long time before I will accept this.

"Bella can I ask you what happened after we left?"

"Bella???...Bella???" The voice was louder and full of concern. Something cold was shaking me. That's when I registered that Alice was asking me something.

Right, I'm Bella here.

"Sorry Alice. What?" I asked her.

"I just asked you if you could tell me what happened after we left?"

I nodded but had to think how to put it. I didn't wanted to lie to much.

"Well what happened you left a dead shell of the girl you once knew behind. Laurent came back and wanted to eat the abandoned, unwanted pet and oh yeah Victoria is still trying. That are the highlights. Any more question?"

She looked as if she was under enormous pain and looked with sad eyes at me.

"Oh I forgot the best part. Edward was wrong you aren't the most dangerous predators on this planet."

"What do you mean?" She asked confused.

"Well Laurent and Victoria tried to kill the unloved pet that the Cullen's left behind. Why is it still alive?"

"Bella what happened?" She was concerned and scared now.

"You know, you can take all the materialistic things away like photos or CD's but you can't erase the feeling or the memories nor can you undo the change that a certain knowledge causes you. Bet Edward didn't think of this when he left in the way that caused the most pain."

But I wasn't talking about Twilight anymore this, this whole situation, will change me no matter how it will end. Nothing will ever be the same again because I know a piece of truth most people have no access to.

Alice went quiet thinking after what I told her.

"You have grown up." She stated. If she only knew that she is talking to a girl that is only 15 years old.

"Actually, Bella..." She started after a while and looked serious at me.

"Honestly, I think it's all gotten beyond ridiculous. I'm debating whether to just change you myself."

I knew this was coming at some point but it still was quite a shock. I knew she wouldn't change me now but if we were going to survive the Volturi that was going to be a future topic if Bella choose not to return.

I am usually an optimistic kind of person but this situation was so out of the loop.

"Did I scare you?" she wondered. "I thought that's what you wanted."

"After Volterra, I mean in case we survive, it's going to happen no matter what because I don't like the other option one bit. But we do not have enough time for this now, don't we?" I told her.

"No we don't." She said going over to watching the future.

I went to sleep until Alice woke me up in Florence.

We got out of the plane, Alice told me that they said no to Edward and that he was going to piss them off so they kill him.

I waited in the parking lot while Alice was organizing a car and there it was coming a bright yellow Porsche with the word TURBO scrawled in silver cursive across its back. I got in ignoring the people watching the car and Alice immediately took off full speed.

"The fasted car in the lot, hmm" I asked.

"Yes we got to hurry." She said anxious.

Alice was already weaving, full speed , through the thick airport traffic sliding through small spaces between the cars on the road.

She was a demon on behind the wheel and nobody better got in the way.

Luckily I loved it fast.

The city of Florence and then the Tuscan landscape were flashing past us as I looked out the window.

"Anything new?" I asked her.

"There's something going on," Alice said.

"Some kind of festival. The streets are full of people and red flags." And she began to tell me about the Saint Marcus Day ending with saying that the Volturi wasn't going to be very happy if Edward messed up things on St. Marcus Day.

"Volterra." Alice said with ice in her voice as we arrived in the city.

"Did he change his mind or .." But Alice broke in.

"You're going to have to run. Just keep asking for the Palazzo dei Priori, and running in the direction they tell you. Don't get lost. Edward will be under the clock tower, to the north of the square. There's a narrow alleyway on the right, and he'll be in the shadow there. You have to get his attention before he can move into the sun."

We were past the guard of Volterra city Alice drove as far as she could into the city before the car came to a stand still.

Alice told me to run straight across to the right of the clock tower. I jumped out of the car and run as fast as I could I only had tow minutes before it was all too late.

I ran thought the streets full with partying people bumping into them and pushing them aside until I saw the fountain I jumped into it. The water was freezing cold but I kept on running, looking franticly for a pale topless model that looked crushed and suicidal. I ran past the family that Bella described and I knew I was almost there. Then I saw him a guy pale white, closed eyes, topless and about to step out of the shadows.

I heard the clock and shouted his name. When I finally reached him I slammed into him he caught me as he put his arms around my waist.

"Amazing…" He was about to start his speech but I cut him off.

I put my hand on both sides of his face, pulled him down to me and crushed my lips on his with as much force as I had. My arms locked behind his neck and I started to move my lips against his. He responded to my kiss. He was pressing me against his body moving his own marble lips against mine, running his hands up and down my back.

We both moaned, the kiss was hot and passionate.

I mean if I'm going to died, I at least want to have my first kiss.

Edward broke the kiss and asked confused.

"Bella?"

"We are not dead and now we have to get out of here before..."

But I didn't get to end my sentence because Edward shoved me against a wall, growling at something.

I knew who this something was seems like we are going to meet Aro and his brothers.

As far as I can tell Edward couldn't read my mind so Aro won't be able as well but it's Markus gift I'm worried about.
