Starstruck 7

“That movie was amazing.”Rosalie said as she and her family were being led out of the castle’s movie theater by Heidi after watching Bella’s movie Assassin’s Midnight. Rosalie was happy she got to watch the movie before it was released but wasn’t happy that she had to sit with her family and not Bella. She also didn’t like the fact that Victoria spent most of the film glaring at her. Rosalie predicted that Victoria was going to be a big obstacle in her relationship with Bella. The red head was very possessive and protective of the human and Rosalie figured the only reason that Victoria allowed the queens near Bella was because they had the guard to back them. Rosalie honestly believed if they didn’t Victoria would kill the three of them just to have Bella to herself. It was a good thing that Bella was so easy going because if she wasn’t Rosalie doubted she would get a chance to interact with her mate.

“Yeah it was.”Emmett liked all the fighting and killing Bella did in the movie.

“Why do the queens allow Bella to do her own stunts?”Lena would have thought that the queens wouldn’t want Bella to be in danger of getting hurt.

“Bella is very charming when she wants to be and isn’t afraid to use that charm against the queens to get what she wants.”Heidi had seen many instances of Bella convincing the queens to let her get away with stuff that no one else would be brave enough to even ask to do.

“Her remaining human is proof of that.”Esme said.

“Why can’t I read your mind, the queens minds or any of the royal guard member’s minds?”Edward had tried to use his gift but found that it was completely useless when he entered the castle.

Heidi smirked.”It sounds to me you are having problem with your gift.”

“My gift is fine. Something is blocking me from using it.”Edward was positive that something was effecting his gift.

“I’m afraid I don’t know why that would happen.”Heidi lied. She knew exactly how it happened. Bella was a gifted human. That gift being a shield that protected anyone Bella cared about mentally. No one was sure how it worked just that it bonded to those Bella felt affection towards. Which was the entire royal guard, Victoria and the queens.

Carlisle cut Edward off before he could argue with Heidi.”Son, I’m sure if Heidi knew what was going on she would tell you.”

“Of course I would.”Heidi once again lied. She wouldn’t tell anyone anything without the queens’ permission. Especially a Cullen. A coven of vampires no one respected. Heidi actually felt bad that Bella was bonded to one of them.

“So what are we going to do now?”Rosalie wanted to change the subject in case Heidi got upset with their questions and kicked them out of the castle. Something Rosalie was positive the queens would be in favor of.

“I thought I would take you to the museum.”Heidi said.

“That would be nice.”Carlisle had only gotten to spent time in the royal museum once and he didn’t get a chance to see everything.

“Do you think we will be able to see Bella again?”Rosalie wanted to see her mate.

Heidi shrugged.”It will depend on how hard Bella fights to get the queens to allow it.”

“Do they control everything Bella does?”Alice asked.

“They mostly control Bella’s schedule. Victoria is the one that is in charge of what Bella does with her time when she isn’t with the queens.”Heidi liked the fact that her former coven mate had a familiar bond with Bella. The bond had gotten Victoria out of a bad situation with a sadistic tracker who was on the Volturi’s radar and likely would have gotten the red head killed. It was just lucky that James set his sight on Bella because it made Victoria kill him and saved her from a death sentence.

“I see.”Rosalie was not happy to hear that as Victoria had already proven that she would use violence to keep her away from Bella.

“Don’t worry about Victoria she won’t kill you if Bella tells her not to.”Heidi knew Victoria would probably try to attack Rosalie but Bella would stop it before it got out of control.

“That’s good.”Rosalie really didn’t feel any better hearing that. If anything it made her feel a lot worse about her future interactions with Victoria.

“Anyway. Welcome to the museum. Don’t touch anything. If you do you’ll likely lose a hand or something else.”Heidi warned as she held the door open.

Rosalie walked inside only to stop when she saw the items on display. All the items were Bella related.”What is this place?”

“After the queens met Bella and recognized the bond they became very interested in Bella’s life. That interest led to them collecting all the memorabilia they could from Bell’a various projects. That includes items that were used in the movies and tv shows she acted in, action figures, posters, statues, different candies, you name it they probably have. Hell they even gave the royal guard clothing with themes from Bella’s projects on them. I have all kinds of T-shirts and sweatshirts from each of the Star Light projects.”That was Heidi’s favorite project Bella worked on and she proudly wore the clothes when she wasn’t wearing her guard robes.

“There is so much stuff.”Lena knew that Bella had a lot of things based on her projects but didn’t realize there was so much.

“Is that really one of the rocket launchers she used in Assassin’s Edge?”Emmett asked as he looked over the weapon in a display case that was labeled with the information.

Heidi nodded.”If it says it on the labels it’s what is really is. Every item the queens have are authentic. Bella provided most of the screen used items.”

“Bella can get her hands on stuff the use in her movies and tv shows?”If she did Rosalie was going to ask Bella to get her some stuff. Rosalie would love to have a couple outfits Bella wore. Especially from the Star Light movies as she already had something from Assassin’s Edge.

Heidi pointed to display that contained a mannequin wearing a Star Light costume.”This was the original Star Light costume that Bella wore to be fitted for the final design in the first movie. It’s just one of the many things Bella has gifted the queens to add to their collection.”

“Shit that’s got to be worth a fortune.”Emmet imagined that people would pay a lot of money for something like that.

“It’s nice of Bella to give these things to the queens.”Alice said.

“As you can see they treasure everything that is related to Bella’s career.”Heidi knew that they were going to have to do a remodel to add more space for all this stuff as Bella had just released a movie and was set to film another Star Light one in a month.

“Do you guys get any spoilers for Bella’s movies?”Rosalie asked.

“Victoria and the queens read all of the scrips for Bella’s projects before she is allowed to take the job.”Heidi corrected herself.”Well all expect for Didyme. She likes to be surprised.”

“They get to read the scripts?”Rosalie wondered if Bella would let her read them as well.

“Yes and so do the royal guard that are interested as well.”Heidi didn’t like to read the scripts. She like Didyme liked to be surprised.

“So you know if Star Light is going to come out as a lesbian in the next movie?”Rosalie desperately wanted it to be true.

“I don’t read the scripts and the only spoilers I get are if I’m assigned to be Bella’s body guard during filming.”Heidi told her.

“How do we get an invite to watch her film?”Rosalie would love to see Bella at work.

“That you would have to go through Victoria to get permission for as she is Bella’s agent and works out all the details for Bella’s projects. To include asking for permission for people to visit the set.”Heidi didn’t think Victoria would be allowing Rosalie or any of the Cullens that privilege any time soon.

“Great.”Rosalie knew that Victoria wasn’t going to let her visit Bella on the set.

“Rosalie look it’s Bella’s lab coat from Little Genius.”Alice was very excited to see an original prop from her favorite show.”It’s so small.”

“Bella is a lot smaller in person than she appears on screen.”Rosalie had been surprised by how much taller she was than Bella.

“Bella is the perfect example of a person who is larger than life. She just seems to fill a room with her presence.”Heidi said.

“That’s true. You could see it when she was with her fans. Everyone just gravitated towards her.”Lena had seen the way that Bella caught everyone’s attention like a magnet.

“That brings up a good point. How is Bella going to be changed if she is so famous?”Carlisle asked.

“That’s none of your business.”Heidi shut that line of questioning down right away.

“I think it’s everybody’s business as Bella is a human who knows about vampires. Breaking that law usually ends with a death sentence for both the human and the vampires involved.”Edward didn’t think it was right for the queens to break a law that they punished others for.

“Are you going to be the one to confront the queens about it?”Heidi would love to see Edward demand the queens change Bella right away or kill her.

“Someone should say something.”Edward said.

“And what exactly should be said?”Heidi asked.

“It isn’t right for our monarchs to be exempt from the same laws they make other people follow.”Edward thought the queens should be held to the same standards as everyone else.

“What are you going to do about it?”Heidi was very curious to find out what Edward’s plan was to hold the queens accountable for breaking the law.

“I’m going to tell others what they are doing. That way people know that the queens are not as honorable as they want us to believe.”Edward told her.

Heidi laughed.”You honestly think that anyone will care that the queens are letting a human live?”

“Of course they will.”Edwards was highly offended that Heidi would laugh at him.

“Edward no one is going to say anything to anyone about Bella knowing about vampires.”Rosalie wasn’t going to let Edward put Bella’s life in danger.

“The queens have an obligation to vampire society to follow the same laws they enforce.”Edward didn’t think it was right that Bella was allowed to be human when everyone else was forced to be a vampire.

“How about we mention the fact that your human girlfriend is still alive?”Heidi smiled at the look of shock on Edward’s face. The Cullens were idiots for thinking that Victoria wouldn’t report back that they were hanging out with a human. A human that was very affectionate with Edward.

“My mate has nothing to do with this.”Edward wasn’t going to let the Volturi touch his mate.

“So it’s alright for you to let a human know about vampires without changing or killing her but it’s not alright for the queen to do the same?”Heidi asked.

“That is isn’t the point. The point is that the queens are breaking the law and they should be punished for it.”Edward said.

“Are you sure you want to pursue this?”Heidi wanted to make sure Edward was set in his decision before she acted.

“If no one else is willing to speak out against the queens then I will.”Edward would proudly be the voice of reason.

Heidi sighed.”I guess the tour is over then.”

“What do you mean?”Carlisle asked.

“Edward just admitted his plans to commit treason. Meaning that he is going to be placed under arrest. The rest of you as well because you have revealed the existence of vampires to a human without changing or killing them.”Heidi explained.”Now are you going to come peacefully or do I need to get others to help escort you?”

“What the fuck?”Emmett exclaimed.

“Edward won’t say anything.”Carlisle didn’t want his family to be tried for those crimes.

“I have asked Edward numerous times if he was willing to let this go and he said he was going to pursue it. So once again will you be going peacefully or do I need to get help escorting you? Before you decide I would like to add if anything in this room gets broken because you decide to fight then the queens will kill even if you are innocent.”Heidi knew that the queens would make it a painful death if any of their Bella memorabilia was damaged.

“Can I talk to Bella before you take us?”Rosalie figured Bella would vouch for at least her and make it so she wouldn’t be put in the dungeon.

“I doubt the queens will allow you to talk to Bella for a very long time.”Heidi figured the queens would be using this situation as an excuse to keep Rosalie away from Bella.

Rosalie growled at her brother.“You are such an asshole Edward!!”

“I didn’t do anything wrong.”Edward was well within his rights to speak out against the queens.

“You just got us a one way ticket to the dungeons.”Emmett was not pleased that Edward screwed them over so badly.

“Speaking of the dungeons. What’s it going to be? Are you coming willingly or are we fighting?”Heidi asked.

Carlisle shot a glare at Edward.“We will go willingly.”

“Carlisle you can’t be serious?!”Edward wasn’t going to just walk into a cell of his own free will.

“Edward you have done enough. Don’t be stupid.”Jasper sent out waves of calm at the mind reader but with the amount of anger coming off of him it wasn’t making much of a difference.

“I have done nothing but demand that the queens be held responsible for their crimes.”Edward was the only one who wasn’t acting stupid.

Heidi grabbed Edward and restrained him before the boy could get a chance to fight.”Alright now who else wants to be a hero?”

“Let me go!!”Edward tried to fight but without his gift it wasn’t much use.

“We will all go peacefully.”Carlisle didn’t want to give the guard an excuse to hurt them.

“Good then everyone follow me.”Heidi picked Edward up and carried him out of the room without looking behind her to make sure the Cullens were following. She wasn’t that concerned with them trying to attack her or trying to flee because the rest of them were smart enough to know that if they did they would be killed.

“I’m going to kill you Edward.”Rosalie was going to strip the flesh from Edward’s bones when she got her hands on him.

“I’m going to help.”Lena wanted to say she couldn’t believe Edward got them into this situation but it was exactly like something her brother would do.

“Me too.”Emmett said.

“Maybe Bella will help us before it gets to the point of someone dying.”Alice at least hoped Bella stepped in because she doubted that Edward was going to keep his mouth shut and was probably going to incriminate the family even more than he already did.

"We can only hope.”Rosalie wasn’t counting on Bella helping. She doubted that Bella would even be told that they were detained. Rosalie knew that Heidi was completely right in saying that the queens weren’t going to let her see Bella anytime soon. This was the perfect excuse for them to keep her away from her mate. It did seem that Bella wanted to give the mate bond a chance though so hopefully that would lead to Bella asking about Rosalie and finding out about them being arrested. Rosalie was positive if Bella knew that she would at least petition for Rosalie to be released. Then Rosalie would be able to plead a case for the rest of her family. She would not be pleading for Edward however because although he was a decent brother at times the times he wasn’t were more common than not. Following Heidi down the steps into the basement Rosalie sighed. All she wanted was to meet her mate and take the first step in spending their lives together. Now she was being put in a cell and having all contact with Bella cut off. Rosalie wasn’t a religious person but at that moment she would take any help she could get. Bowing her head she mumbled a pray to whoever was listening for help to get out of this situation.
