As you can tell, this is my first Twilight story. I've read the entire series and seen all the movies currently out, and I had to write one. So, review and tell me your thoughts!

And, if you want to read an amazing Seth Clearwater romance story, go and read Lycanthropy Love by aribx3. I am completely hooked on that story!

The dark halls of the Volturi kingdom were filled with the chatter of the Guards. Aro shouted menacing orders to them, wanting everything to be perfect for the arrival of the Volturi's newest member of the guard. " ... Jane, check on her room once more." The blonde obediently nodded before gliding off to perform her task. The heavy hollow doors flew open, the secretary Gianna rushing to Aro, "She's just arrived." A devious smile crept to Aro's features as his expected guest glided towards him.

" Ms. Bells. So glad you've decided to join the Volturi." Aro greeted, looking down to speak to the teen. "Bentley." she snapped. The Volturi leader was not fazed by her attitude, he only nodded and continued on. "A fellow guard will show you to your quarters, he shall explain the rules to you as well." She nodded in understandment and watched Aro carefully with her topaz eyes. "What are you staring at?" Aro sneered, obviously annoyed with her. "Not something pretty." she retorted. He snorted, clapping his hands together.

" Alec. Show Ms. Bells to her quarters." Alec stepped forward, his eyes wandering over Bentley and taking in her breathtaking features; Her porcelain skin, her botton nose, high cheekbones, almond shaped eyes framed with long eyelashes, her sweetheart pout that easily formed on her pink lips, the way her silky light brown hair fell to her shoulders in perfectly straight thin-ness, the way her side swept bangs loosely fell against her right eyebrow and left a small triangle of her forehead showing above her left eyebrow. What stunned Alec most though, was her bright topaz eyes.

"Come, come this way," Alec stuttered, gesturing for Bentley to follow. Hesistantly, she followed.

The two walked in silence down the dark corridor, Bentley's eyes wandering over each detail of the hallway. "If I may ask, why aren't your eyes red?". Bentley brought her gaze towards where the question had come from, raising an eyebrow at Alec. "I only drink animal blood, I find human blood un-appetizing." Bentley mumbled, her voice seeming oddly sweet for where she would be living.

Alec hesitantly nodded, confusion painting his features. He was baffled as to how any vampire could find human blood un- appetizing, seeing as it was the only blood he had ever experienced. The silence returned, only the quiet click of Alec's steps occupying the hallway. "Aro's talked about you a lot. He says your gift is very powerful." Alec awaited her reply. He glanced sideways to see her, briefly smiling as she pursed her lips.

"I suppose," Bentley shrugged, earning a chuckle from Alec. "Show me." Bentley stopped in her tracks, facing him. "I don't think that's such a good idea." she shook her head, her hair flipping over her right shoulder and concern filling her eyes. "How bad could it be?" Alec teased. Bentley's face never faltered though, she was genually concerned.

For a brief moment, Alec felt sympathy. It was at that moment that he realized how young Bentley had to be; She was farely short, only standing at about 5 ft. Her build was petite and almost child- like, her waist thin. Her cheeks still had a small amount of baby fat left to them, even as thinned out as she was. She had to be only around thirteen, maybe.

"How old are you, Bentley?" Alec's voice was much more quiet than he had ever spoken, suprising himself even. Bentley searched his face for any sign of mock or tease, her result being blank. "I was twelve when I was changed. I've been a vampire for almost a year, now." She waited for Alec's response, staring into his scarelett eyes. "Oh," was all Alec could choke out.

Before Alec could begin another question, Bentley quickly started down the hallway once more. Alec watched in amazement at how gracefully Bentley moved, more gracefull than Caius even. "Aren't you coming? I'd like to be shown to my room."

It was at that moment that Alec knew Bentley was a mystery: A mystery he would have to find out.
