My dark grey robe billowed behind me as i walked into the main hall.

"You called, Aro." i stated cooly. "Oh, yes i did. I have another trouble maker that i need taken care of." Aro replied. I was his favorite member of the guard, even more so than Jane and Alec, something Jane hated me for.

I live here in Volterra, one of the Volturi's guards, and the best. Victoria came back after Edward left. She wanted to kill me, but when she learned he was gone, she decided it'd be more painful for me to let me live. And she did. The Volturi found me in the south, they had come to control some newborns and found me just wandering. They'd learned of my power and took me in.

My power was probably the greatest of all. I controlled the mind. I could block other powers from myself and others, i can control other's powers and there minds, and once i've used their powers through them, i duplicate it and keep it. I have accumulated the powers of everyone in Volterra, along with the powers of every other vampire i've met. I pretty much have all the powers, and could kill everyone in Volterra if i wanted to, but i wouldn't. I have no-where else to go and i don't want to rule the vampire world. When Aro says he has a job for someone, it isn't optional. I'm the exception to that. There is really nothing anyone could or would even dare to do if i just refused Aro's wishes

"Sure, I'm bored" was my response.

"Lovely."he said. "There is an issue with newborns in Seattle and the humans are getting suspicious. There is a family near there that is quite peculiar and only drinks from animals, they tipped me off to the situation. The leader is my friend and he has asked for assistance in the matter. You see, there are over 30 newborns and they don't want to fight, much less being so outnumbered. There are seven in the coven. They agreed to allow you to stay with them while you're there. Could you please deal with it?" Aro explained. The family he spoke of was a bit to familiar. I kept my voice cool, as always, and asked:

"What's the name of the coven?"

"Cullen" Aro stated simply.

I froze for the shortest of moments. What they did to me stopped hurting me a while ago, i have matured, meaning i have become cold and cruel, but they still weren't my favorite people and i did hold a grudge. No one in Volterra new of my history with them; I didn't want to explain that, it may have caused me problems here, and, back when i was changed, i didn't want to get the Cullens in trouble.

"When do i leave?" i asked, sounding disinterested.

"Now if you want."

___________________

I was driving to the old Cullen house from the airport in Seattle. They didn't know it was me they'd sent and i didn't need any direction to get there, i remembered the house perfectly. I wondered vaguely if they would recognize me, though i didn't change that much, and how they'd moved and how that ones distractions were working for him. Aro called, informing me he just called the coven and told them i was less than five minutes away and then asking me to be nice to the coven because they were friends of his.

I arrived at the house. I took five minutes to collect myself before entering, i needed to keep calm.

I knocked on the door. Rosalie answered, at first she looked bored, but when she took in my appearance and made the connection, she froze.

"Bella?" She said nervously, this was going to be more difficult than i thought.

I gave a bitter, reminiscent smirk, she used to hate me, i believe that's actually she's ever directly spoken to me.

"Hello Rosalie, are you planning on letting me in?" i asked in a polite, cooly detached voice. I was already tired of being here. What was in the past was in the past. I really didn't want to take this trip down memory lane.

Alice appeared at the door with the rest of the family behind her, except for one. There was a collective gasp.

"Bella!" they all exclaimed simultaneously, you'd think they'd rehearsed it.

They finally stepped out of the way and allowed me in, awestruck. I decided to get straight to the point: "How many newborns do you need help dealing with?"

"You're the Volturi they sent?!"Emmett boomed. "You're in the Volturi?" he asked in a quieter voice.

"Yep." we moved into the living room. After a few minutes of being stared at, a few of them finally came to their senses and Emmett and Alice shouted, "Bella!" and came running to hug me. I dodged them both and was back in my seat as though i hadn't moved faster than they could process what had happened.

Alice looked like she would be crying if she could and Emmett lowered his head in shame. "We're sorry, Edward said it was for you're own good an--" I lifted up my hand.

"That's not the matter at hand though, is it?" i changed the subject fluently. At that moment, Edward walked through the door and stared at me, We stared at each other for what felt like hours. His eyes were filled with regret and sadness and a little bit of hope.

"Bella" he said in his velvety voice, his eyes smoldering.
