The Volturi- या at least its three leaders- were here in Hoquiam, visiting the Cullen family for the first time since I had been created. Aro, Marcus and Caius were here for a very specific purpose. As vampires, our memories are very acute, so I can recall the conversation with precise detail. Even though it is already over, it still gives me the chills.
Aro was the first to speak, even though I saw the thoughts in his mind before he even opened his mouth.
"Hello, Edward. I am glad आप were able to शामिल होइए us. Rosalie, Emmett. It is nice to meet आप all. I have met Esme and chatted her a while during the time Rosalie went to find आप both." He motioned our direction.
Carlisle motioned for us all to come further into the foyer. We were standing near the front door, assuming defensive positions. To be honest, we were all scared. Emmett and Rosalie were probably और scared than I were, as they had no idea what to expect, and I couldn't exactly tell them what was going on without giving anything away.
We stepped आगे together, as though we were a team. I guess द्वारा now we are a team. A family. और than ever we are a family now. Carlisle waved us through the foyer and continued into the dining room, where we all took seats at the large, heavy wood table. It was probably a good idea, considering it put अंतरिक्ष between us all. I needed as much अंतरिक्ष between Aro and I as possible.
I took a सीट opposite him and we all sat down slowly.
"I am sure द्वारा now, Edward, that आप know why we have come here." Aro smiled at me.
"Unfortunately, I do, Aro." I told him.
I returned his smile with an unfriendly glare. The other Cullens were equally unfriendly with the exception on Carlisle, who is always open-minded, and Esme, who always seeks peace and the good in everyone.
"Aro has come here for something important, perhaps आप should listen to his offer, young one." Marcus spoke firmly from the other end of the table. I jumped out of my सीट so quickly that the chair I was sitting in slammed into the ground beneath me and broke into several pieces. Emmett swiftly swept to my side in a दिखाना of absolute support, even though he had no idea what was going on. Emmett, my friend, my brother, always द्वारा my side. I would have to remember to thank him later.
"I have no reason to listen to his offer, as I have already heard it." I responded.
"Perhaps if I could speak to आप in private, take a walk, a few moments alone..." Aro offered. I saw his plan the moment it formed. He wanted to touch me, see my thoughts, see why I was so resistant. I wasn't a fool, however, and I wasn't so easily swayed.
"I'd rather not, Aro, if आप do not mind. I do not need a few moments, या a few days या years. I know your offer and I enjoy my time here with my family."
"I heard आप were rather unhappy living life as a vampire. We were looking to help आप relieve some of that unhappiness. Offer आप an alternative lifestyle. We have ways for आप to use your gift like आप have never imagined." Caius stood up from the तालिका, टेबल and took over the conversation. This seemed to irritate Aro, as he felt he had the situation under control. Perhaps, in reality, no one did.
"I have no wishes to शामिल होइए your coven in Volterra. I am happy here with my family. I do not feed on humans, I try not to use my powers, and usually when I do it serves me poorly. They are a burden on me. They have done me well in only a few instances. There are worse things in life, Aro, and I mean no disrespect, but I am not joining आप today या any other day."
I stood in a defensive crouch and allowed him to stare at me for a moment. Rosalie stood up from her chair and stood अगला to me, and after a brief सेकंड Esme and Carlisle did the same. The four of us stood together as a family, while the three of them remained seated at the table, thoughts of doubt flickering through their minds.
"Perhaps आप will not always feel that way, young boy. आप have much left to see in life. To experience. Your powers will come to be useful, आप should साज़, दोहन, हार्नेस them. We can help with that. We will leave now, but remember that the offer is on the table. We wish आप to शामिल होइए us in Volterra, and we will not forget about आप and your extraordinary gift, Edward. Good दिन to आप all. आप have a lovely home, Esme. Thank आप for welcoming us into it."
They left quickly after that, with a few scattered words of warmth, as Aro is good for pretending to be a friend when necessary, and we were left to ourselves again. All of us were notably shaken. I was the most upset. It was hard to लपेटें my mind around the fact that the Volturi had actually come across the world to try and persuade me to शामिल होइए their coven. Carlisle explained that while Rosalie had gone to find us, Aro told him that one of the वैंपायर I had visited had gone to Volterra and while traveling there Aro had seen my amazing gift in his thoughts. The only thing और powerful to Aro than his own gift is the possibility of finding other वैंपायर with gifts. The idea of having an army of gifted वैंपायर leaves no room for anyone to fight them, no matter how great the odds. My mind पढ़ना ability is truly remarkable.
I am just glad the issue is behind us. Carlisle is expecting for Aro to bring it up again sometime in the future. Aro doesn't give up, he pushes, persuades. I am not too worried, I cannot be persuaded. Any doubts I had about the members of the Cullen family before were quenched when they stood द्वारा my side against the Volturi and stuck up for me. Facing their own destruction to keep me beside them is something I never expected from half of them. I suppose I should get some rest. It has been an emotional day.
