Prologue
I stood in the large cavernous room, perfectly round like a huge castle turret the walls were covered in curving stone, the high up windows only just letting in a tiny bit of light. Aro, Caius and Marcus took their seats on the immense throne like chairs that stood as the centre pieces of the room. We were waiting for our new guests and Aro said he wanted to show me off as his new prize, it was rather flattering but it was embarrassing to be classed as one of his trophies.
The clan filtered into the room and we immediately fell silent. The first to speak was Aro, "Welcome guests to Voltera, it is so good to see you all again." He was very calm and had spoken these words repetitively over the centuries. The group moved forward. There was a ripped brunette man who seemed to be the leader he held his hand out to Aro. His face was sharply angled and he had a square jaw, he was extremely handsome he had the same piercing blood red eyes that every other vampire had. The others looked very scared but that was to be expected.
Aro's head snapped over to me.
"Now, I have someone I would like you all to meet, Bella this is the Canadian nomad clan, nomads this is Isabella. My newly acquired talent." I pushed back my hood and tried to act confident.
"Hello, I am Isabella" I announced, staring at a point on the back wall.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Isabella, so why does Aro regard you so highly?" was his simple reply.
