Chapter Twenty-Eight: Its Not Over

Bella POV

I scowled at the TV. I was playing a fighting game with Emmett and he was beating me by two points.

It had taken me exactly 3 minutes and 2 seconds to figure out what buttons were which, and 5 minutes and 8 seconds to figure out how to kill and play.

"Your cheating!" I mutter angrily.

Emmett clicks his tongue. "You just suck at this my dear!" He sings happily as he kills me again.

I growl in frustration.

I start hitting buttons and move to the side as Emmett takes a shot at me. I push other buttons and my character takes a round house kick and knocks Emmett's character over.

I hit a blue and red button and my awesome gun comes out and I start shooting Emmett like crazy.

I keep shooting and am able to kill Emmett about 3 times before he whines, "Bella!!"

I grin. "Ok, ok. I'm done." I say, then fall over laughing evilly.

Emmett glares at me and turns off the game and TV.

"Your mean, and so much more evil than Alice." Emmett says, still glaring at me as he sits next to Rose.

I stop laughing and grin. "I know."

Alice is glaring at me and Emmett as I take a seat on the couch not far from Jasper and find myself gazing at the piano.

How had I not noticed that before?

"Do you like it?" Edward asks snapping me from my trance, I glance at him and frown.

"What? The piano?" I ask confused.

He nods. I nod.

"Do you play?" I turn my head and glance at Esme. They all watch me expectantly.

I look down and nod sheepishly.

"Could you play something for us? Edward plays the piano all the time." Rose says smiling at me.

I shrug. "I don't know." I mutter.

Alice snorts. "She can't play." She says and I glare at her.

I stand suddenly and make my way toward the piano and sit down.

I raise my hands over the keys and pause for a second.

After a moment of thinking, I set my hands down on the keys and start playing Moonlight Sonata.

I watch as my fingers fly across the keys and hit the notes in perfect tune. I tap my foot lightly with the beat.

After about four minutes-I'm surprised she lasted that long-Alice excuses herself and goes to do something with 'those' flowers.

Alice leaves the room, but I keep my focus and keep playing.

I can feel everyone's gazes on my back, and it makes me slightly uncomfortable, but the piano helps ease it slightly away.

It always did. I use to take piano, ballet, and karate lessons when I was little. I really sucked at first and didn't want to go at all. But then, I got the hang of everything and I became the top student in all of my classes.

I hit the last note, and as it rang out, someone gasps and then there is a crash.

I spin around quickly in my seat and see Alice's gaze unfocused.

I looked into her eyes and used my gift to see what she was seeing. I've been getting better and better at it as time goes on, making me be able to see what Alice is seeing is something I've gained.

The Volturi. They stepped and crunched sticks, snow went flying. There was a man. A man that looked like a monster, with sharp claws and-

Holy shit! Oh god, oh god, oh god!

I started to panic and Jasper sends me a worried expression.

"What is it Alice?" Edward asks as he stands near her with a worried expression.

Vampires never drop anything, ever.

"The Volturi are coming, but I don't understand, why?" She says and frowns.

My stomach churns and I'm lucky I can't be sick, because that's exactly what I'd be doing.

"Bella?" Jasper asks and everyone turns to me. My eyes wide and filled with panic, is what their probably seeing.

I stand suddenly and hurry to my room. I throw open my door and hurry in.

I crouch down and pull up a floorboard as everyone comes in my room and watches as I lift it up and set it aside.

I'm going to have to find a new hiding place for this stuff.

I pull out my diary and stick it under me so no one can read it and file through the letters and papers my mom gave me.

Finally, I find the one I'm looking for and pull it out.

I had quickly skimmed it one night but, shoved it back away after one read.

I swallow and read it out loud,

"My Dearest Bella,

I haven't been 100% honest with you. I'm sure you've heard about the Volturi from your new family the Cullen's, and that their bad news.

But Bella, you must here me out, they know about you and want you, no matter who, or what stand in their way. Even if it's their dearest, and oldest friend Carlisle,"

I pause as Alice snorts at that. "Their not exactly dearest." She mutters.

I nod and keep reading.

"You must not join them. They will, and can use you for great destruction. You can do more than you think Bella. Just trust in yourself, and trust your new family. Your each other's last hope.

If you are taken for the Volturi, the world as we know it, will be destroyed.

-Renee."

"Well, that's solves that!" Emmett says grinning and we all look at him. He shrugs. "What?"

We all shake our heads and I glance down at the paper, my grip tightens.

How did they know? My father? Did he know? I'm going to get everyone killed.

"There's something your not telling us, isn't there?" Jasper asks.

I look back up and everyone's watching me expectantly. I nod. Jasper frowns and turns to the others who are watching me curiously.

"Alright, we need to come up with a plan, maybe an army." Jasper says and everyone exchanges glances while I put all the papers away.

I pull back the floor board and hold onto my journal. I'll hide it in the other floorboard across the room when they leave.

Rose sighs. "As much as I hate all this, and then having to say this, I think we need to get the werewolves in this."
