I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT

Bella Pov

Aro had very pale, marble-like skin, his long black hair contrasting with his skin and his flaming red eyes. His eyes were what frightened me the most, along with the evil grin which seemed to be plastered on his face permanently. One thought ran through my mind as I stared into his eyes. He feeds off of humans. He didn't speaking much after he told me his name, but I wanted to know what he wanted with me. I demanded to know where he is taking me. The one person that made me feel alive left me. Why should I be scared of where this demon man was taking me? Nothing could be worst than Edward leaving me.

"Where the fuck are you taking me?" I cursed, feeling the fury wash over my body in waves.

"What the hell do you want from me? Get away from me! " I yelled at him.

"I'd watch that pretty little tongue of yours if I were you. We are going London to a place called Volterra, you will be judged there. The Cullens told you about us. They broke the law. They, too, will get what's coming to them. Breaks my heart to have to kill my dear friend Carlisle, but he knows the laws as well as the consequences if you break them." He paused, and for a second, I thought I saw saddness deep within his eyes, but I was dead wrong when I looked closely. He had the most evil look on his face from before. "Just a few more hours now dear." Aro said happily, waving me off.

Hours passed, which, in my case, felt like years when we finally made it to a castle. The most beautiful, yet frightening castle appeared amongst the small buildings, rising higher each step I took. The castle had that eerie feeling that you would get in the movies, as though this were a horror movie. But this is real life, and that's what made it more frightening. We entered the castle through two huge metal doors. Once inside, I noticed I was surrounded by a group of vampires. I tried to look for a way out, but I know even if there was a way out, I would never make it through.

"At last, we're home. How are things going brothers? This…..this is Isabella, her home smelled of the Cullens. More of their oldest son Edward. I would've killed her there in the spot, but something was not right. I need to know." Aro explained as he rushed me forward, using hand movement to help with his explanation. But that was all the information I received, because he stopped, and smiled at me. I cringed away, feeling a wave of fear wash over me once again.

Aro introduced me to the other vampires, one by one. Jane; an evil little girl with the power of bringing someone mental pain to a stage where you feel immobile and numb. Her brother Alec who didn't look older than fourteen, his dark hair shading his flaming eyes, which made me feel less nervous. Demitri; a small man with frightening eyes and a terrifying smile. Caius; a strange yet vicious man with long, blonde hair. He was shorter than myself, to which I laughed internally. And Marcus, he looked older than the rest; tall with brown hair, pale faced much like the others, but he was sad, you could see in his eyes. Something bad must have happened for him to look this sad. I felt so bad for him, the feeling on uneasiness claiming me. I had to look away.

"Enough, Aro. Kill the girl and get it over with." Marcus said. What the hell? I felt like I had been hit in the face. Here I am, feeling bad for him, and all he wants is for me to be dead. I cannot believe I almost felt sorry for this man."I'm afraid that's not possible Marcus. She has a gift, one I cannot ignore." Aro replied fervently, his brow furrowing in the slightest. I frowned myself, swallowing hard as my mind registered what he had just said. I have a gift? Ha, this guy must be nuts! What gift could I have? The gift of clumsiness? That could be the only thing I could possibly think of. You would think for a vampire he would be smart. I snickered inwardly at this thought.

"A gift, hmm? What type of gift does this weak, human girl obtain? She looks nothing special to me." Caius snickered, twirling loose strands of his hair around his finger, looking bored. That ass does he not know I'm right here, right? Talk about rude.

"Yes she has a gift. I can't see her thoughts when I touch her, its as if she obtains some sort of shield that doesn't allow me to pierce through in order to read her thoughts. But that's not all. However, for now; Jane, will you be so kind as to test her with your power dear?" Arp said

He touched me? I huddled myself together subconsciously at the thought of him touching me. When did he ever touch me? Then his words began to sink in and my eyes grew wide with fear. Jane? Looking at her is scary enough. I knew there was nothing to do but to welcome the pain. I sighed and waited for what seemed like minutes. Aro burst into a fit of hysterical laughter and clapped his hands together.

"Marvelous," he gushed, smiling broadly at me.

"There is proof enough, she must have a shield." He seemed like a little boy who just ate his first cookies. It was amusing yet strange to watch at the same time.

"Shield or not, Aro, she must die. She knows too much about us, we cannot let her live much longer. " Marcus stated, avoiding eye contact with me. I narrowed my eyes but didn't say a word.

"Yes I know, dear Marcus, I know. It's a shame that the Cullens didn't turn her, but I know what must be done. Bring the girl! " Aro replied.

NO! NO! I don't want to die! Not without seeing Edward one last time. I shifted my eyes frantically, searching in every direction as to buy myself more time. What can I do?

"WAIT!" I screamed, throwing my hands up in the air as if to cover myself. I peeked out behind my hand to see all the vampire's staring intently at me. I took a deep breath and continued.

"Please, wait! Turn me into a vampire, please, I want to be one of you. Please! Please! I will do anything!" I pleaded with them. Maybe if they turn me, I can be strong enough and leave this hell-hole to find Edward and his family. I smiled; that sounds like a plan.

"Let her go!" He yelled, his deep, threatening voice echoing throughout the small room we were situated in.

"You will make for an intriguing vampire," he smiled.

"Now that that's settled, Bella you should know that you don't have one heart beat, but you have three.." He trailed off, glancing at my stomach.

My eyes grew wide and I whimpered. "I havn't seen this happen before but I do know that it is not apart of our laws, however, I'm interested to see what will take place within the next couple of weeks, hmm?" Aro continued, taking a few steps back to let the other vampires stare at me. I didn't understand, what he was talking about? My last period was….

"OH MY GOD, I'M PREGNANT?"
