Dear Diary, Thankfully a lot has changed since I last wrote in you. When I last left off, Alice and Bella where on their way to Volterra to try to stop Edward. I was so relieved to get a call from Alice at the airport telling me that everyone was safe and they were on their way home. They arrived late last night, and waited till this morning to sit the family down and explain everything that had happened, so that Bella could get some sleep and also be there with everyone. Early this morning we all gathered in the living room when we heard Edward pull in the driveway. Him and Bella walked in hand in hand, looking like nothing had even happened, its amazing how love can do that. We all sat as patiently as we could, as Edward prepared to let us know everything that had happened. Bella sat next to Alice, while Edward stood in front of us. "First, I must apologize to my loving family, I should have never put any of you through any of this, it was selfish of me and I will spend the rest of eternity making it up to you if that's what it takes." Edward's head was down as he spoke softly, I could see that he was deeply upset. I opened my mouth to speak, but the words were unneeded, as soon as I thought them Edwards face lit just a little, he looked up to me with a smile, "Thank you Esme, mother, though I don't fully agree, I don't think anyone else would have been as weak as me, but thank you for not being upset with me," he looked around the room at the rest of his family, "all of you, thank you. Now let me tell you what happened." Edward told us the whole story, that once he heard the news of Bella's death, he decided he would not, could not be in a world where she didn't exist. He had made up his mind, he would have the Volturi kill him. Edward took the first plane to Volterra he could and met with the Volturi, at first they had denied his request to die. Aro had suggested that Edward join them instead, stating his power was much too great to 'waste'. For that I thank him. When the Volturi would not simply give Edward his way, he made the only choice he felt he had left, he was going to expose himself, so that they would have no other choice but to kill him. Edward's plan was to step into the noon sun in the middle of the Saint Marcus day festival. Thankfully, Alice had gotten Bella there just in time, as Edward was lifting his foot to step into the sunlight Bella ran into his arms. They stepped back into the shade and Edward had sworn he had died and was in heaven, with his love. That thought was short lived, as two of the Volturi guard stepped up behind them. Alice joined them shortly and the three of them were escorted to the throne room to face Aro, Marcus and Caius. Everyone immediately noticed Bella was a human, this was not allowed. Aro ordered that she be changed at once, of course Edward refused. Aro tried more to get Edward to agree and for him and Alice to join the Volturi, Edward adamantly refused to join them, and promised that Bella would be changed in his own time. After some violence I don't really care to retell, Alice decided to show Aro a vision she had had before, in this vision it showed Bella as a vampire, thus proving that Edward will hold true to his promise and giving Aro no other true reason to fight them. Finally they were able to leave, and everything was right again. The whole family sat in silence while listening to Edwards story of what happened. Bella sat with her head hidden in Alice's shoulder, I could tell she felt as though this was all her fault. When Edward had finished talking, he took Bella's hand and lead her outside. They stayed gone most of the day, while everyone else went back to their daily routines. Carlisle had to work most of the day, and I spent most of my time in my office working on blueprints and designs for nothing in particular, just to keep my mind and hands busy. Later that night, everyone was asked to gather in the living room once again. Bella had decided that she wanted to get everyone's opinion on her change. She felt that if she was to just become one of us that we wouldn't have to go through anymore trouble for her sake. She will never understand how much we have all come to love her, and that we would do anything for her. But I have to agree, things would be so much easier if we didn't have to worry so much about her. So we put it to a vote, of course her vote was yes. Next she looked to me and Carlisle. We looked at each other and I answered for us both, "Of course, we already see you as family, so yes." Bella nodded and turned to Alice, "Do you really think you need to ask me, of course my answer is yes," Alice replied with a giggle. Jasper was next, "It would be nice to not want to eat you all the time, yes," he stated with a grin. Emmett answered without Bella having a chance to ask him, "I can't wait to fight you with your newborn strength" he stood in some silly macho pose and laughed at himself. Rosalie glared at him, "I am going to have to say no, you have no idea what you are getting into, and I wish someone had been there to vote no for me." Rosalie stormed out. Last Bella turned to Edward, "I don't have to be a mind reader to know your answer, but can't you see almost everyone else agrees with me. Everything would be so much easier, and besides, Alice already saw it." Bella pleaded with him. "We have to get you home," Edward said. After that they left, I assume they talked more about it while alone, but I haven't heard anything. Carlisle wants to go hunting together now, and I believe I have fully updated you. I will write more when I find out something new. Always, Esme
