Happy Halloween handsome ;)
The Volturi mansion was in full force readying itself for the annual Halloween ball. There head guard Isabella was walking around with her clipboard marking things off and ordering everyone around. Ever since the she had come to Italy she had run a Halloween ball, every coven along nomads she had meet through the years was invited. Well all but one, it had been 50 years and Bella hadn't seen a thing of the bronze haired greek god she once loved.
"Demetri, bring that over here. Those black and orange drapes will descend from the ceiling along with the disco ball" she explained as all the men walked around her.
"Off course beautiful" he winked. "Where's Heidi we still have to choose our costumes for tonight?" he asked.
"She probably around here somewhere" Bella answered with a beaming smile. Her 6 inch black stiletto heels clicked across the floor as she sauntered over Felix and Alec. "Boys, have you both got your costumes for tonight?"
They both grinned. "Yes don't worry, have you got yours ready?" Alec questioned with a smirk.
"Of course I do, I'm the host. It would be stupid if I wasn't organised" she laughed. "You two go help Demetri, him and Heidi will probably get a bit distracted if their left alone" the brunette gave them a wink before leaving. She could practically feel their eyes on her arse as she strutted towards Aro.
"Isabella, this is amazing. You've done it again" Aro announced.
"I think I just have a gift for parties, which reminds me" she started looking down at her lists. "There's an extra group of people coming but you haven't given me their names" she looked at him confused.
"Ahhhh, that's the thing I needed to talk to you about. You know that I love you, but I'm friends with Carlisle too"
Bella caught on instantly. "You've invited the Cullen's to the ball?" she stated more than asked.
"Yes, I never meant to upset you" he began looking unsure at her.
"Aro, its fine. I don't care if they come" Bella said truthfully.
"Thank you for not being mad, they should be here soon" guards came up too them asking about where she wanted stuff, she pointed to places around the large throne room and instructed them carefully. The large doors at the far side opened slowly. Bella looked up expectantly and wasn't disappointed. Each of the Cullen's hadn't changed a bit.
They all spotted her by Aro's side with a gasp. Even Rosalie looked shocked, their movements quickened. "Bella?" Alice sang as she skipped up to her former best friend. Bella willingly hugged her.
"Alice" she beamed. They pulled back to smile at each other.
"What are you doing here?" Esme asked joyfully coming up the steps to hug her. The young girl happily hugged them both. Each Cullen except for two came up to embrace her. "Rose?" Esme chided.
Rosalie rolled her eyes. "Hey" she smiled. (Screw it its Halloween) she run up and grabbed Bella into her arms. That left Edward at the foot of the podium they all stood on, staring up awkwardly.
Bella sighed. Slowly she walked down the steps, her eyes never leaving his appraising ones. "Edward" she smiled hesitantly. She still loved him, but she learnt a long time ago not to let her past control her future.
"Isabella" he whispered nervously. She rolled her eyes.
"Please, just call me Bella" she insisted playfully, holding out her hand.
He inadvertently flashed his perfectly crooked smile and snatched her hand out of the air and shook it. "Bella" he amended.
"Bella, I have to leave for a bit. I'll be back in time for the ball, don't forget to prepare Katarina for this evening" he looked pointedly at the dark haired beauty across the room who looked up at the mention of her name. Aro sent Bella a smile before leaving.
"I'll do that right away" Bella whispered to herself with a grimace. Every year Aro would choose a new guard to be his personal 'partner' to the festivities. When he said prepare he meant 'dress her and explain what being his partner meant'. Each year the chosen vampire had to dress up and spend the night with him in his own wing of the mansion. Their reactions to this varied.
"Katarina?" Bella called. The olive toned girl walked to her side.
"Let me guess, I'm the flavour of the year" Kat smirked knowingly. She didn't mind, they always were praised with extensive gifts.
"Yes" Bella smiled back. "Come to my room, we have to pick something out for you to wear" Bella nodded in the direction of the west wing, she nodded for the Cullen's to follow. Her room took up most of the wing though the majority was actually made up of her wardrobe.
"As you know the theme of every year is naughty hallows eve" Bella explained. "Couples are supposed to attend in matching attire. Singles just come slutty" she laughed.
"Did you have a particular costume in mind?" Kat asked admiring the beautiful clothes in Bella's walk in wardrobe like she always did. Her fingers skimmed down a pink silk evening dress with desire clearly evident in her eyes.
"Well, out off what I have there are only a few choices. My Halloween outfits are very precious, though many have had to been replaced" she giggled. "Too much damage to repair" she winked at Kat.
"What can I choose from?" Kat asked dropping down onto one of the large arm chairs the room provided.
"Well there are some that are off limits, I'm never wearing something Aro's touched" she shuddered. She disappeared behind the racks of clothes before reappearing seconds later with a naughty nurse outfit and an equally hot looking black leather police women uniform.
"These are some of my rejects" Bella tossed them to Kat.
"Why?" Kat asked.
"They were given to me by..." Emmett, Alice and Jasper eyed her expectantly. "Previous acquaintances, but the nurse one reminds me of hospitals and I'm the daughter of a policeman" she explained. Kat shook her head in acknowledgement.
"Well I think their hot" she said standing and holding each outfit to her body.
"Wait! I know exactly what one you should wear" Bella nearly screamed before running back behind the clothes. She came back with a black suit cover. "Here" she tossed it to her.
Kat unzipped it to look inside. Edward laughed. "Oh my God I love it"
"Aro will love it, the ensemble was a gag gift from a couple of wolves I know" she winked. "Go put it on" she nodded to the old-fashioned changing board near her shoes. Kat jumped up and run over; she rounded it and within seconds started changing.
"What are you wearing?" Alice asked.
"Oh that's a surprise" she smiled picking up knee high boots and holding them out to the changing vampire. "How about you lot?"
"We're getting them later" just then Kat finished and walked out. The all smiled at the obvious. She had a black and red frill skirt, attached to a matching corset and black cape. A small top hat nestled in her hair. The boots finished the look. She was a vampire.
"I agree Aro will love it" she smiled giving a twirl.
"Alice, rose meet me back here later to change" Bella ordered as they exited and went back to the throne room.
The next chapter will be updated on Halloween. Bella will be having her fun with Edward; I can promise you a lemon. My first lemon, I hope you like it. LittleMissKsalvatore:)
