Fanfiction: Invisibility Chapter 10

Edward:

Sometime in the near future:

I stared after Callen and the other girl as they drove off, escaping my grasp again, probably for the last and final time. I'll never get to see Bella again. I kissed this, this girl…and betrayed Bella.

And now there's nothing I could do to fix it.

I walked over to my parked Volvo, and sat in the driver's seat for a few minutes with my head resting on the steering wheel; trying not to think.

The cell phone vibrated a few times. I did not answer it. I didn't care anymore. It didn't matter. Nothing mattered.

Finally after the sixth or seventh time it had gone off. I decided to turn it off, or at least answer it. When I saw Alice's number, I flipped the phone open.

"What?" I asked tersely.

"Edward…" Alice said, in a tone that showed fear.

"What is it?" I asked, anxious.

"Edward, I had a vision." She said, quietly.

"Of…?" I urged.

"Edward, I don't know how or why… But…" she trailed, clearly unsure as to whether or not she should tell me.

"Just spit it out!" I yelled into the tiny phone.

"Edward, I had a vision that Bella is going to the Volturi."

Bella:

Just before the near future:

I laid back on the soft bed in the top floor suite, pondering where we could go, while Jalin flipped through channels on the T.V. set.

"Jeez." She said, "Literally five hundred channels, and not a thing to watch."

I sighed, my mind in another place.

What did I hope to achieve by running?

Or maybe the better question wasn't why I was running, but what I was running away from.

"Callen…" Jalin whined. "Callen, I'm bored."

"Then go down to the pool or something." I said, waving my hand at her. I was trying to think.

"I can't!" she continued whining. "I don't have a bathing suit!"

If I were in the mood, I probably would have joked around with her. But I needed to think.

"Then go buy one, or better yet, just go shopping. I'll meet up with you in a bit." I said, throwing my credit card at her. She caught it, and stared at it while another malicious smile grew on her face.

It really didn't matter if she maxed it out. I had money, and plenty more credits cards if I decided to leave the country.

I smiled and tossed her cell phone at her. Her hand flicked up to catch it. "Call me if you need anything." I told her, and waited for her the click of the door locking before plopping back again, to think.

So why am I running? Where am I going?

Or what exactly am I running from?

Edward, or my life?

No, it wasn't just Edward I was done with. It was life. Living. I didn't want it anymore. I wanted it all to end. I wanted to die.

Then it flashed to me. 'Well, I wasn't going to live without you so…'

I cringed in pain, but followed the train of thought.

The Volturi. That's it. I could go to the Volturi and ask them to kill me. But here's the question, who are they, how do I get to them, and what do I do?

I sat at the edge of my bed for a few minutes, and then picked up my cell phone.

"Jalin?" I asked, after she answered.

"Yeah?" she replied, anxious.

"What do you know about—" I stopped. There was a knock on the door. "I'll call you back." I said, hanging up the phone and walking slowly and cautiously to the hotel door.

I opened it, and then slammed it.

"Go away, Jackass!" I yelled at him.

"Callen! I'm sorry; I didn't mean to kiss you! I came to apologize!" Edward yelled through the door.

"Haven't I already demonstrated what I think of your stupid apologies?" I yelled back.

"Just open the door," he groaned.

"No!" I yelled.

"Callen," He said, impatiently.

"No!" I yelled, wondering what I could do. I looked around, and grabbed my bag and stuffed my wallet in it, along with most of my other stuff. I'd come back for the rest later, if there was a later.

I turned up the volume all the way up on the TV, hoping to disguise the noise of my escape, knowing that it probably wouldn't work too well.

I opened up the sliding screen door.

"Callen?" he yelled, anxious.

"I'm ignoring you!" I yelled back, turning the volume up a bit more to make it more convincing, before lifting one leg over the rail and into the next balcony over, hoping no one was in there, or I'd be seriously screwed. Luckily, there was no one there. I slid open their sliding door window, and climbed into the room, and tip toed to the door. I could still here him yelling at me at the door next to this one. I knew I'd have to make a run for it as soon as the door opened.

I took a deep unnecessary breath, opened the door, and ran as fast as I could down the stairs, and out into the lobby. With any luck, no one was looking.

I looked along the market place for Jalin, and I saw her.

"Jalin!" I yelled, waving her hands, and she snapped her head over to see mine, her expression worried. "THE CAR!" I yelled again, and she nodded her head and disappeared.

I could see Edwards bronze hair in the lobby as he came out to look for us.

"Hurry…" I mumbled under my breath.

Suddenly the Porsche screamed to a stop in front of me, Jalin behind the wheel.

"Get in!" she yelled, eyeing Edward.

I paused, I wasn't so sure I wanted her driving, but then forgot about it and hopped in when I saw that he'd seen us.

Jalin pulled away and he stared after us, probably debating over whether or not to run. I was thankful that the streets were busily crowded today.

I waited until we were safely away from him on the highway before I started asking questions.

"What do you know about the Volturi?" I asked her, casually.

"I know that they'll kill you if they try to expose them." She said, suspiciously. "What are you thinking?" she asked me.

"Nothing," I said carefully. "I just wanted to ask them a favor."

"What kind of favor?" she asked me, still suspicious.

"It's nothing. I want to get away from Edward…" and life. "So I think maybe they'll have a solution." Like death.

"You are NOT going to ask the Volturi to kill you!" she yelled.

"I'm not." I said calmly, trying to diffuse the situation.

"Promise me!" she begged.

"Promise you what?" I asked, hoping for a loop hole.

"You will not, by any circumstances, go to the Volturi, and ask them to kill you. And you won't provoke them either!" she said.

"Fine," I lied. "I promise."

I really hate lying to Jalin, but she wouldn't understand.

"I still need to talk to them." I said.

"Fine," she agreed. "But I'm going with you."

"Deal," I said. This at least was an easy deal to keep. And besides that, I like keeping Jalin around. Even if it won't be for long.
