I was standing near Alice and Edward, trying to see if there was a chance to leave this place alive.
Fucking Edward! 'I love you, you are my everything, mm actually you are not enough, oh, as you died I will go to Volterra to die out of love for you'. Fucking emo.
I realized that he was thinking about getting back together. Asshole. Alice was next to me, looking at my clothes, checking if my boots are designer or not. She was having mental problems. We are not sure if we are going to make it and she thinks about this?
In this point, the brothers were talking between them. They had to decide what to do about the human who knows too much.
Aro came next to me. God! He was hot! Stupid Bella, he was deciding if he was going to kill you or not, but I only could think that he was fucking hot!
"Dear one, can I have your hand please?" He asked me.
"Not really, why do you want to touch me? I don't like strangers to do that!" I told him, not comfortable about this situation.
I heard growls and gasps around me. I think he is not used to somebody saying not to him.
"Filthy human, you will do as we tell you. You are nothing but food here!" Caius said.
"Brother, I will take care of this, so SHUT UP!" Aro yelled.
Edward, Alice and the guards were terrified. I was glaring at him.
"Bella, he is Aro, the leader of the Volturi, you have to be more respectful if you want to live longer than tonight." Edward told me and I glared at him.
"I asking you to do something simple, human, just give me your hand" Aro said.
"I will not do it before you tell me why. How could I know if you are asking my hand to dry me two seconds after? I don't like to be touch without knowing why"
"You will do it because I tell you and that's all. I'm the king of the Volturi and you will do it."
"Not fucking way, I will not do it until you tell me why."
"Fuck! I just want to know if I can use my gift with you and read your thoughts. Just give me your fucking hand woman!"
"As you know, Edward cannot listen to my thought, it will be the same for you, but if your majesty wants to try, I will do it with pleasure."
He took my hands and closed his eyes. I gasped because his hand is freezing, he was colder than the Cullen.
"So, can you read me?"
"No, it is the first time in more than 3000 years that I do not hear anything."
"Told you so, but you did not listen. I'm not a freaking experiment that you can use at your will!"
"Why do you think that you can yell to me stupid woman,"
"I will yell if I want and if this bothers you can fucking kill me, and we end with this shit"
"You will not talk to me like this, you are a human, a woman, a fucking teenager and food, so shut up!"
"Bella, love, I think you have to listen to me and stop talking. He is mad at you and if you speak further, he will kill all the Cullen. Please, baby, be quiet." Edward said to me.
"YOU ARE NOT GOING TO TELL ME TO SHUT UP. THIS IS YOUR FUCKING FAULT." I said.
"WHO THE HELL SAID THAT YOU COULD GET INTO THIS CONVERSATION, YOUNG CULLEN?" Aro yelled.
Edward took five steps back, dragging Alice with him. The guards were crouching in a defensive position.
"ENOUGH! Aro, what is going on with you? Isabella Swan, why are you yelling at him? You both look like five years old having a tantrum". Marcus yelled.
I crossed my arms and I pouted glaring at Aro. He is doing the same thing. Marcus and Caius came next to us and they glared at us.
"Dear Cullen, as I can see, you are not able to control this human girl. She will stay with us till we can decide what to do with her. You will leave and we are going to send you reports to explain the situation every week. In addition, I will call Carlisle myself to explain what happened. Now leave, we have a lot of work with this two." Marcus said "Aro, go to the office now! We will go to see you there; we need to talk with you about his. Jane, take Isabela to a guest room in our wing. Isabella, you will take dinner and I'll come to tell you our decision.

I was fuming, this human, this filthy human just yelled at me in the throne room! How did she dare to do this? I killed vampires for just a glare. She humiliated me in front of the entire guard and my brothers.
To aggravate the situation, I was sent to the office to calm down and my brothers should be here soon to scold at me as if I was a child. I'm the leader of this coven, the king of the Volturi and nobody will talk to me like this.
"Aro, you embarrassed us in front of the entire guard and the Cullen. How do you dare to engage yourself like this with a human?" Caius told me. "You are our leader but today you show us that you cannot rule till you overcome this."
"What are you talking about brother?" I asked raising my brows.
"You will leave the city until we'd call you back. You will go to our island and you will try to reign yourself." Caius said.
"Hell will be fucking frost before I will do this! You cannot force me!" I yelled.
"Actually brother, we can, you are powerful but we are two and we have the guard behind us. If you do not do this, we can persuade Jane to help us or tell Alec to take you down. Do you want us to prepare your bags or you want to pack by yourself?" Caius told me enjoying this. Payback was a bitch and he was having his sweet revenge after years on my shadows.
"Fine, I will go. When I am supposed to travel?" I said sulking.
"You are leaving tomorrow morning at six am. Jane, Alec et Demetri are coming with you." He said.
"Fine" Life sucks!

Jane dragged me along until we arrived at a big room. She was walking at a human pace, looking at me confused.
"Isabella?"
"Bella, please"
"Bella, you are the craziest woman I ever saw. Nobody dares to say no to master Aro, nobody will yell at him or deny him something he wants. I have to say that I respect you." She said
"What?" I asked
"I never saw him like this before. Usually if somebody denied him something, he will be so furious that this person is dead one minute later. He was fighting with you like you were his equal." She said.
We arrived at the room and she left to pick up some food for me. I took a shower, enjoying my clean skin and hair for the first time in three days. I found something to wear in the closet, I sat next to the table, waiting for my food, and some answers hopefully. Jane came with the food and I realized that the last time that I ate was yesterday. She brought me a nice hamburger with French fries and a soda. It was perfect.
"Master Marcus will be here soon to tell you their decision. I hope that they will change you; I would like to have you as my friend." She said leaving my room.
I was eating when I heard a knock. "Come in please".
Marcus entered the room and I stood bowing my head. I was so stupid in the courtroom that I hoped if I was nice maybe they would not kill me.
"Dear one, you don't need to do this. Take a sit and eat while we talk about you. I have to say that I am impressed by you. I never saw anybody, outside Caius and me, talking to Aro like this. The problem as you may see is this we can afford this situation in our coven."
"What can I do to show you that I will not do this again, master?"
"You will have to go to our private island to study our history and culture. I want you to do your best and follow your teacher's advice in your preparation for your next role in our coven after you will be one of us."
"When I will be leaving for the island?"
"You will leave in one hour. Don't worry about anything, your teacher will give you anything you need. I hope to see you soon Isabella."

I love to be secluded in my office. Nobody comes here without invitation and I feel in peace without Edward's moodiness, Alice's chat or Emmet's jokes. Sometimes Esme will come and we will have some time alone to talk about our sons and daughters. Over my desk, I have some pictures, which show the family at different times.
Today I was with Esme, she was sitting on my lap, playing with my hair and talking about Edward last trip to Brazil. He was tracking Vitoria, even when we all knew that he is a lousy tracker. When my phone rang, I saw that Marcus was calling me.
"Dear friend, how can I help you?" usually Aro calls, so it was strange.
"Old friend, I'm calling you with bad news. Yesterday, your son came to the palace; he asked for the second death."
"Did you kill him?"
"No, my friend. Aro told him that his gift was not to be wasted and we told him to leave. Today he tried to expose himself and force us to kill him. His girlfriend and Alice came and prevented this to happen. Aro wanted to talk with them, so, we asked the guards to bring them to the courtroom."
"What happened?"
"Everything was ok until Aro wanted to read Isabella."
"This was a problem?"
"She did not want to give him her hand."
"And this was a problem? Aro is stronger, he could take her hand."
"The problem is my friend that they started to fight in the throne room like five years old. They were yelling at each other. This situation is complicated and has to be resolved."
"What are you going to do about this? Where are Alice, Isabella and Edward?"
"Your kids are traveling home now, Isabella will go to our island to learn about the vampire world and its laws."
"Is Aro ok with this? He is not going to try to hurt her?"
"For Aro, he will not dare to do harm to her. He was sent in an extended vacation. They will be punished for the behavior in a very painful way."
"What are you going to do to my baby girl? Do you remember that she is a human?"
"Oh yes, the punishment will be hard because as I told you she has to learn about us, but I did not tell you yet that her teacher is Aro. I sending Jane to control them and as she cannot do harm to her, she will be ok."
"How much time he is going to be with her?"
"Probably till we are changing her. After she is turned, she will have to serve us fifty years and she would have the choice to stay or go to your coven
"Thank you Marcus for telling me this. I apologize for my children behavior. I will talk with them as soon as they arrive home."
"I will call you every week to give you some details. Have a good evening old friend."
"You too dear friend."
I asked Esme to leave me alone to think about this. I never saw Aro losing his temper like this. Even when he was angry, he would smile or even laugh. This is why people were so afraid of him; you could not know when he is going to punish you. Now he just lost it with a teenager that happened to be my daughter. I missed her deeply and it was Edward fault. We left her following his advice, but as she was his mate, we did not have a choice about this.
I hoped that during the time that they would spend together, Aro would not kill her.
