I do not own anything other than the plot, and any characters I might create.

~Five years ago~

I smiled at my mom and her new husband, Phil sadly. Neither of them saw me. They were to busy cuddling on the couch, watching some romantic comedy, to notice me standing outside the backdoor. In a way, I guess that's a good thing. If they knew what I was doing they'd flip. But really they should be thanking me. They were in over their heads when they decided to keep me around instead of sending me to live with my dad, Charlie. Not that I'm complaining.

Renee, even as flighty as she is, she's a okay mom. She'd pretty much raised me by herself for eleven years. But then she had Phil to help her for the twelfth year. Mostly it was me raising her. I took care of the bills at the age of eight and had been cooking since I was six. I grew up to quickly in a way.

Phil wasn't a horrible parent either. I know it must have been hard to re-marry someone who already had a eleven year old daughter, but he had been doing a so-so for the past year. Now, right before I got the chance to start middle school, I was leaving both of them.

A small tear escaped down my cheek. I touched the door watching them. "Goodbye. I love you." I whispered my goodbye, grabbed my suitcase, fixed my backpack and walked down the street to the car that was waiting for me. The girl, Jane I think, leaning against one of the doors straightened when I finally came into view. Her ruby red eyes held sympathy in them as she packed my stuff into the trunk.

"Come, Isa. It'll be fine. I won't let anyone hurt you," She told me. I nodded quietly and climbed into the backseat. Once my seat belt was on I curled my legs up to my chest and leaned my head against the window. Their were two men in the front seats. The one behind the wheel had short black hair. He was the tracker. Demetri, I think. He gave me a smile before starting the car up. The other one looked a few years younger. He was the girls twin. I think his name was Alec. He had brown hair and ruby as. He gave me a nod and then looked away.

I shivered. Outside the car it was still about mid sixties. Inside though? It felt colder. Jane must have sensed this because she dug out a blanket and told Demetri to turn up the heat. She moved over next to me and petted my hair soothingly. "It's alright Isabella. Everything will be fine. I promise."

Demetri turned back to look at me, the car still in park. "You ready to go, Firefly?"

No, I'm not. But what I really did was nod my head. Then we were speeding down the road, leaving the old me behind.

~Present Day~

"Isa! What the hell are you still doing in bed? You know what today is!" My sisters voice broke through my dream. I groaned and threw a pillow in her general direction. "Isabella Marie Volturi! If you don't get up this instant I swear I'll let Felix drag your sorry ass out of bed!"

That thought woke me up and I jumped out of bed. "I'm up! I'm up!"

Jane snickered from the foot of my bed. "That's what I thought. Now get up. We have to feed the human, set up for the party, then get you ready for the party. After you're introduction, you have to meet almost everyone, then you have to go sing for a little bit and then it's bedtime for the human!" She spoke without breathing and threw some clothes at me. I rolled my eyes but changed quickly. Wouldn't want to give her un-dead heart a heart attack. (.com/cgi/set?id=48085728 Bella's Outfit)

"What exactly am I doing to set up?" I asked her while putting on my necklaces and earrings. After applying a bit of lip gloss, I faced my sister. Her eyes darted over me critically, before she smiled and dragged me out of the room. Alec was waiting outside the door. His eyes were pitch black and I frowned. I looked up at Jane too see her eyes were black as well.

"When is Heidi getting back?"

Jane and Alec shared a look. "I think she gets back in an hour. Which means I'm sending you out to buy stuff for the party." I nodded, realizing that me 'setting up' for the party was just getting me out of the castle so they could feed.

I guess I should explain a bit. My family, the Volturi, are the royal vampire coven. They're pretty much the mafia of the vampire world. And no, I'm not crazy. I'm dead serious. My father is Caius, one of the three kings, and he and my uncles, Aro and Marcus, rule the vampire world. They make the laws, see to that they are carried out or else the Guard goes out to fix the problem. Don't mess with them. They are ruthless. I've only heard of one man who could possibly take them down. That's not the point though.

A little over ten years ago was when I first met them. It was an accident, really. They were here on business and I saw them. They weren't as scary as everyone thought they were. The big one took a deep breath and smiled at me. He was the one I liked first. He bent down to look me in the eye and the first words he said to me were, "I'm going to call you Firefly." After that they were always there. When Renee was too busy with her friends or work, they took care of me. Jane was like the big sister I never had and Demetri, Alec and Felix were the brothers I never had.

When I turned twelve they told me they wanted me to come back to Italy with them. I was hesitant at first, but then I decided I would go. Renee and Phil would have an easier life, and Charlie never really cared about me that much. I mean I would miss them all, but they would be fine.

After the flight to Italy and my first night there, I was introduced to everyone. They all loved me and Marcus said I was what would finally hold everyone together. I apparently had many bonds with everyone. Caius, even though he is the ruthless one, fell in love with me immediately and became my new father. After that day I was no longer Isabella Marie Swan. I was Princess Isabella Marie Volturi. This Mafia style coven wasn't just a coven anymore either. We were a family.

I smiled gently at the memories. My family was amazing.

We finally arrived at the Throne Room. I skipped into the room right over to my daddy and uncles. I kissed my dad first, then Aro, then Marcus. They all greeted me happily. I was about to sit down on the ground when someone scooped me up and put me on their shoulders.

"Demetri!" I laughed. "Put me down!"

"Never, Firefly!" He said, running around the room at human speed. Everyone was laughing and teasing me. Then it just stopped. Gianna, our secretary, smiled shyly at everyone before walking to the middle of the room. My brother put me down as she spoke.

"Mistress Heidi has just returned and some of the covens should be arriving soon."

"Thank you, Gianna. Would get someone to bring my car to the front of the castle?" I asked her with laughter in my voice. She smiled and nodded before leaving. Everyone looked a bit sad to have the fun over. It was my job to cheer them up. "Come on guys! Put a smile on that face of yours. Heidi's back! And after you guys are done, um, eating, then I'll come back and we'll get ready for the party! Cheer the hell up!"

Everyone laughed, just like I was hoping they would, and I left the throne room. I kissed Heidi on the cheek quickly and made my way out of the castle. I saw more tourist walking to their doom, but I didn't let it get me down. Today was a happy day. Today was the day I was finally introduced to the vampire world.

My car was waiting for me when I exited the castle. I got into it and drove around gathering things I needed as well as things for the party. Eventually Jane called me and told me to come back. By that time it was already noon. If I didn't get home the girls would throw a tantrum, and a vampire tantrum was something to avoid at all costs.

The drive home was boring, but I knew I would have fun later. I got back to my room and the first thing I heard was a chorus of 'Finally'. I rolled my eyes.

Welcome to my life. I thought as the girls ushered me into the bathroom so we could all get ready for the party together.

Hey everyone! So this is my first story. Please don't be to harsh on it. I'll take constructive criticism, but remember that there is a fine line between criticism and just being mean. If you don't like it so far, then tell me what you don't like. Thanks everyone! :)
