A/N: Hi guys! You know about these dreams you have one night about a scene or storyline and you can`t get rid of them? Well … let me just say this is my dream about Edwards trip to Italy and what his father could have done about it! It will be very similar to my other NM story, cause it contains the same subject :) but with a few nice different turns and events ... Enjoy and review please!
Summary:
[In the end of new moon …] What if Dr. Carlisle Cullen had come to Edward`s rescue after Alice and Bella flew to Italy? Trouble for Edward! Alice, who stole his mercedes AND a Porsche is in deep trouble, too! … Warning: perhaps spanking / corporal punishment and bad language!
Disclaimer: All of the fantastic Twilight world belongs to Stephenie Meyer! Not me!
Warning: Perhapsmention and on-screen spanking/corporal punishment in chapter(s)! There is also bad language and violence! So don`t like it – DON`T read it, please!
Thanks: A very big THANK YOU to my awesome beta!
Edward`s POV
We stood silently in the big throne room. Aro watched my poor posture, my shoulders sagging, with a mixture of sorrow and amusement. I wasn`t amused. Not one bit! My mission was in jeopardy; he might deny my request. I had not fought with my decision very long. It was clear for me. I couldn`t live without her and I didn`t want to. They had to agree, they had to … Of course if Carlisle knew what I was up to - that I was attempting to end my existence - he would stop me! I grimaced slightly as I thought about what he would do to me. He would tan my ass real good for trying such a … for only thinking of such a stunt!
But my father wasn`t here. Nobody was here or knew what I intended to do! That was the plan. I wanted to make it easier for me and for them. I sighed. About four months ago I had discussed my departure, or better personal escape, from the world and life with Carlisle in his study one evening. He was not happy with my decision, but he had agreed that the family had to move. That we – I - needed a break from all of this mess I put Bella in.
Bella …
Slowly I raised my head again to the Volturi leader in front of me. I hadn`t even noticed that I had bowed my head and looked away from him. What disrespect! Caius and Marcus were seated on their black thrones, watching me expectantly as well.
Suddenly Aro tapped his fingers together and spoke. "Edward Cullen. I`m sorry, but I can not assist you with your decision. Your father would not be pleased if I ..." He stopped and cleared his throat. "Granted you death."
I let my eyes flash golden with anger. "This has nothing to do with Carlisle ..." I explained hotly, only to be interrupted by Aro.
"Well I think he has something to say about it. Why would he come all the way from Forks to save his son's life?" Aro smiled slyly as he waited for my reaction.
I froze. Carefully I smelled the air in the big room, only to realize Aro was right. Carlisle`s smell was strong. Damn it … As I heard the big wing doors being opened and closed behind someone I didn`t turn around. I knew it was my father who had entered. The familiar sound of his footsteps echoed through the throne room as he walked at a human pace towards me. I dared to look behind me. Suddenly he stopped by my right side, watching me closely. Again, I couldn`t bear to look him in the eye. Too ashamed that he tracked me down to rescue me, I stared at the grey marbel floor under my feet.
Then my father spoke, almost whispering. "What do you think you`re doing here, Edward?"
His voice was low and dangerous.
I didn`t answer him. Aro on the other hand – paid full attention to my father and coven leader. "Carlisle," he addressed him with a warm tone in his voice. "Nice to see you again. Are you here to retrieve your son? Don`t worry, we hadn`t decided to grant his … unusual … request … yet."
My father gasped in shock as he comprehended the reason for my presence there in Volterra. I felt him turn his body to me and then put his fingers under my chin. He pushed upwards; I felt like crying now. Slightly shivering, I looked into the disappointed face of my Dad. He shook his head slowly. "I can't believe this. This should never have happened and will not happen again, you hear me?"
Finally I found my voice again, but it cracked. "Yes, s-sir ..."
I was in deep trouble now! Almost crying, I looked at my father closely for the first time. Black coat, trousers and dress shoes, as he would go to one doctor's conference or some other official meeting. My eyes on his face again, I realized the disappointment, anger and worry towards me. Yes, I had worried him – a lot!
He looked to the Volturi leader again and let go of my chin. "Aro. I am very sorry for all the trouble he has caused. I want to apologize for my son. Nothing like this," and here he glared at me again, "will happen again! You have my word!"
"You are forgiven, Edward Cullen. At least by me. You may go now." Aro sighed. "Your father here, is a different story!"
Dad grabbed me by the shoulder, spun me around and shoved me roughly through the throne room and to the doors. I knew I couldn`t say anything to please him right now, so I kept silent the whole way through the long hallways and to the elevator. Demetri accompanied us to the first floor and exit of the big and old building.
As we stepped outside, he walked, staying in the shadows of the houses till we reached another alley. My eyes, full of venom tears, were trained to the street in front of me. Suddenly Dad stopped. His strong hand pulled me back a little bit.
"Stop!" He commanded short. "Eyes to me, Edward!"
I did as I was told and looked at my father. He crossed his arms over his muscular chest. "Do I get an answer now?"
As I tried to formulate the answer had been waiting for since he asked me the first time, I suddenly smelled a human`s scent. My eyes grew wide and I looked around in search of Alice and Bella, whose scent I clearly recognized. Carlisle caught her scent too. "Bella ..."
Together we ran through the alleys of Volterra and finally found them. The yellow Porsche was not one to miss. As we stepped into the middle of the street, my sister hit the brakes with full force and the car came to an abrupt stop two metres in front of us. Alice looked at us in disbelief. The passenger door flew open and a very worried, but happy, Bella appeared. I tried to believe my eyes. Was I dreaming? She yelled my name then, and wrapped her warm arms around my waist. Now I could smell, see and feel her.
Tbc ...
A/N: Okay, first chapter! Do you like it? I haven`t figured out who tattled on Edward yet, but you can imagine that Edward will not be happy about it :( In this take of the "after Italy story" Carlisle will have a talk with his daughter, too – about truth, steeling and other things. Poor Alice. Love you all, Vanessa
