Chapter 9 – The Eve Before
The two weeks before our second wedding went very quickly. Though there was a lot to do, everything seemed to go to plan. I did not stay away from Marcus for very long at all. I had no interest in letting Edward talk to him alone. Nor did I want to let Edward try and win me.
I also wondered about the wolves. The should not exist. It did not seem natural that our enemies stalked here. Also, the Cullen's did not seem worried by the werewolves being so close. What the hell was going? I could not keep this from Marcus.
The Cullen's had been good when it came to hospitality. Though I did spend most of my time with Marcus.
We had a night alone when the Cullen's decided to hunt. Carlisle had asked if I would join them, but I had declined, saying I would hunt closer to the 25th. And I would, with Jane, Alec and Marcus.
Once they were all out of hearing range, I walked over to the couch. I would tell him now about the wolves. Jane and Alec were wrestling out on the lawn, I would join them soon, as would Marcus.
I sighed as he came over and sat beside me, wrapping his arms around me. Something he did not get to do much at the moment. He pulled me close and I rested my head on his shoulder.
"What's wrong, Bella?" he asked, his dark eyes widening as he read the the guilt in my expression.
"Remember Seth and Leah?" I began.
"Yes, they smell is repulsive." he sounded confused. "It was no fully human smell either."
"I know why that is. . They are not human. they are not vampires." I sighed. "No, instead they are werewolves."
"What makes you say that?"
"I went outside to talk to them. Before I knew it, another four wolves appeared. They are the size of bears. One phased in front of me, and wanted to know who bit me. That was when I I came back inside, I only told them that the vampire was no Cullen."
"How many of them are there?"
"Eight, maybe more. The whole pack might not have come that afternoon for all we know."
"Caius will want to know about this. He hates werewolves. Though he has good reason for that. I'd better let them know, Caius will want the entire guard to be here, to protect him, Aro, Sulpicia, Athenadora and I."
"All fourteen of us?" I was surprised. It was rare that all of us were used for any single task. More than rare was the fact that the wives would leave Volterra as well. That never happened, but then again, they would not want to be away from Aro and Caius respectively. I knew that, I felt the same about Marcus these days.
Then again, Marcus knew his brothers better than I did. Though this was a formal occasion, if Caius wanted the entire guard here, then we would alert Carlisle ourselves. I sighed. “You had better tell your brother, Marcus. They listen to you.”
“Aro trusts you as well, Bella,” Marcus said. “But in this instance, you're right, I should tell them.”
I nodded. “You want to come out and join Jane, Alec and I, dear?”
He laughed. “Sure, I need the practise. This way, all three of you can practise several different techniques, right?”
I nodded.
As we got outside, we saw the Cullens all returning. Marcus signaled for Jane and Alec to join us.
Carlisle stopped when Marcus called his name. “Yes, old friend?”
“How good is your family at fighting?”
“Not the best, but they van defend themselves, why?”
“If you want, we could teach them a bit,” Marcus offered.
“Sure.” Carlisle called his family out of the house. He then quickly told them what Marcus offered to do and all of them agreed.
“I'll see what you are all capable of. I am the best fighter out of the three of us,” I said.
“Who first?” Marcus asked.
“Pick someone. I don't care who,” I replied. Where I could, I would obliterate all of them.
“Let's see how good you really are, Edward.”
Emmett chuckled. “Try a bit harder this time, Edward.”
I growled, stepping forwards and crouching, ready and waiting for him to make the first move. The bronze haired vampire sighed as he saw my dark waiting eyes. Then he leapt at me.
I smirked, dodging and turning to face him. It took me only minutes to have him pinned to the ground. “Dead.” I sighed. “You have a hundred years of experience, yet I beat you, only having five years. Dissapointing.” Then again, Felix had taught me well. Edward growled and rejoined his family.
“Jasper, you're next.”
Jasper came forwards, smiling. I knew he had more training than the rest. I wondered how long he would take to beat. He would be more interesting to fight.
Jasper grinned and then lunged at me. I quickly moved out of the way. As I fought him, I noticed how much he was used to fighting. Now the Cullen's were really paying attention. This fight was more evenly matched.
I was actually enjoying myself when it came to fighting him. This vampire actually knew how to be offensive. He would need to learn little. Finally I managed to beat him.
“Emmett,” I called. That fight only me two minutes to win. Emmett fought like a newborn. He cussed when I beat him, which made me knock him to the ground in response. “Only a game.”
“Alice,” Marcus called.
My smile widened. Would I be able to beat her? Would her gift work against mine?
I lunged for her and she dodged. I growled and she laughed. We fought for a good while until finally I beat her. You rely on your gift, dont you?” I asked.
“Yeah, but its certainly helpful in a fight.”
“Learn to fight without it Alice,” I chided her. She laughed.
Esme, Rosalie and Carlisle were a mixture of Edward and Jasper. All in the middle for experience. Which was a little surprising I would have thought Carlisle would be the strongest. Then again he did not like fighting in any sort.
We fought for a while, then the guys all left to go have some fun before the wedding tomorrow. I knew Carlisle would keep Edward in check.
Alice and Jane came with me to hunt, and then I went with no one else to meet Aro and the others as was planned. None of them had brought any baggage, we would all be going home tomorrow night any way.
It took us two hours to run from Pheonix to Forks and then another minute from there to the Cullen's house.

Chapter 10 – Fun
The Cullen house was certainly crowded with vampires when the boys got back. Caius was very quick to talk to Carlisle about the werewolves. Not that Carlisle was going to keep that from him for very long. Aro was happy getting to know those who had joined Carlisle over the years. Marcus however spent all his time with me.
I spent a little bit of time practising with the other guard members and Marcus often got involved with us all. He liked the practising as much as I did. Emmett was a common watcher, he liked to see that he was not the only one knocked to the ground by me. Not to mention there were others in the guard who sometimes knocked me down, so none of us were invincible. Everyone had a weakness in the guard but we did not let those show when we were not in Volterra.
Everyone though came to watch when Felix challenged me to a fight. Everyone was aware that he was the most offensive in a fight out of al the Volturi, though I knew that Esme and Alice both thought I was extremely good at fighting myself. Edward though I was sure only came out because he thought that Felix would be able to knock me to the ground. Not that it mattered to me, I would not be as offended as he thought I would be. I knew that if Felix won, well I would not have been completely concentrating.
Plus there was the fact that I liked to fight with Felix. He was a good teacher and I knew that that would make Edward angry if he could hear that. No doubt he was already getting that from Felix's head. Not that I cared. We all headed outside there was a good part of the night left. Since this was not the real wedding for Marcus and I there was not anything to worry about us seeing each other before it happened.
When I spotted Edward looking in my direction, with what seemed to be concern showing on his face I laughed. He had nothing to be worried about and I knew that. He would soon see that. Felix himself thought that I was a good fighter and he himself was the one who trained me. No one could deny that he knew what he was going on about when it came to the fact he knew what he was doing in this area.
Nor was I afraid of him. I had been as a human but that was because all the other Volturi members were vampires who hunted what I was. That was only an instictual fear. One long since forgotten when I met Marcus for the first time.
