Pairing Bella/ Jasper

Chapter 1: Bella

Bella stood next to Jane waiting for Aro who had always given her, her assignments. It was a real shame that her last assignment had to end so quickly.

She had gone on the assignments as a vampire. Normally, she would be told to use her abilities to stay in a human disguise. That time was different.

Flashback

Aro had sent her on assignment to kill a vampire in Florida whom wanted to out the entire vampire community. Bella used her special talents to convince him that she was on his side. She wanted him to love her but forget about the world of vampires. Aro had told her to kill him with kindness, literally. In the end, Bella had done just that when she had a little 'accident' that sent another group of vampires into frenzy.

To be sure he died she made sure the truck tipped over near the target's home. She knew he would have to at least go check out the incident.

The vampires smelt the scent of human blood that Bella spilt into her truck. It was not Bella's blood but it had not mattered to hungry vampires.

Other vampires who where living in the area attacked, which left Bella the opportunity to play dead for the police while that vampire that Aro sent her for lay dying when the attack ended. Bella was not sure if the vampire was trying to save her or that he was out for her blood.

The vampire who was a blood drinker had no time to analyze the situation. He only knew that Bella could be in pain or dying. He had no idea that he was being set up.

None of her targets had the slightest clue about her assignment.

Bella waited for the police to decide what to do with everyone then Bella coughed which gave the dying vampire that extra incentive to try to live. She coughed again gasped for air as her eyes went dead.

The vampire who she had been sent to kill died from blood lose. Bella had planned to pretend that she was in a blood rage then accidently kill him. Too bad he died before she could do kill him herself.

End of Flashback

Now, Bella stayed seated next to Jane waiting Aro to speak. She never thought about him. Jane was her sister in arms. Jane was the only one to really understand her.

She still felt lonely without the young looking vampire. Even on assignment they kept in touch. Bella always thought that after living so long, she would have more friends.

"Bella, oh my lovely Bella you have completed your task. Good for you." Aro smirked at her knowing that she would become even more competitive the next time. Bella was such an interestingly creative vampire. To him she was a priceless work of art.

From the first day she joined his group, he could see so much potential in her eyes. He knew she would serve him well. Also, he knew that she would make friends with Jane.

Jane deserved someone to keep her life less stressful. His favorite pet went to extremes to make him happy which troubled him. He appreciated her determination but he knew that time would cause her to grow bitter toward him. So, Bella was the answer to his prayers when Bella joined them after her lover passed away.

Aro glanced away from the two to speak with Marcus about daily events. They often had done that when Marcus came back from hunting.

Bella turned her head away from them to see Felix doing a crossword puzzle that was dropped from the last feeding session. Felix had a weak spot for the puzzles. Aro never minded so Felix would often be seen doing them when he had to wait for long hours.

"I see you are home, Isabella." Marcus noticed her as one of the reasons that kept Jane's sanity in check. Without Isabella, Jane would become a shell of herself. "What tactic did you use this time?"

"Master, the truck one." Bella answered him slowly as to not show disrespect for him.

"I see you are losing your creative edge young vampire." Marcus loved to bait Bella which gave him such pleasure watching her display any emotion behind those eyes.

Bella thought about him teasing her. The man was surely deranged. Bella loved her truck. So what if it was a little beat up. She had not used it every time she went out. It could still be fixed up to look a little better. She would show him. Bella would us it in her next assignment.

Aro had plans for her almost right away. "I would like you to go to Fork, Washington to visit an old friend of mine. Carlisle Cullen he has been expecting a visit from me for a long while. I regret that I have little time for that single visit. You will go as a human. Use your gift to gain their trust in human form. Do not attempt to kill them. You may however, join their family if you see fit."

Bella sat there in shock. Her family had given her the option to leave them. Who would her talents long term? Why? Wondered if Aro wanted to purposely get read of her. Had that been it? Would he give her, away?

She doubted that they would think her human. That was only an inside joke to her. The only people that would think her a human, would be humans.

Marcus briefed Bella about her assignment with the Carlisle Cullen. Everything was set up for her to be a teenager that would move to Forks, Washington. She would have to be careful about hunting in the forest but she had always been so careful in the past.

A back story was carefully crafted that she would have to remember in order to fit-in. People had been given fake memories of her as a child. Everything was all set up for her visit. Even her truck would be included in the fake back story.

Bella wondered what it would be like to have a father and mother, again. Her real family had been killed so many years ago but she could still remember their dignified faces that held such hope for her future. She remembered how her brothers and sister would act around her. They always had accepted her. She had not experienced the love of a family since before she was turned into a vampire.

She had Jane and the others but her heart wanted more.

Bella had given up trying to find someone that would love her, not wanting someone else to take their place. After, she became a vampire she allowed few people to get close to her emotionally. Only Jane had broken her exterior wall causing her more than a little pain in the process. Jane was now her good friend which gave Bella a feeling of loyalty toward her.

She had been getting softer toward the other vampires around her. Even though, she would fight about the topic of a mate to her best friend, Bella could not help but see herself without one.

Leaving her Volturi family behind had never crossed her mind but if Aro wanted her to leave: who was she to disobey orders? "You will leave right, away."

Bella stood up proudly giving a deep courtesy. "Master, your will, will be done."

"As always my dear, Bella." Aro appeared to be pleased with her. Inside, he knew that she might be lost to him. The future was open to too many doors. No one knew what the future could hold if they knew they changed it.

His Bella was the cruelest of all of them. No one dared to take the time to kill someone with love or kindness in Volterra. Others liked to drag out the pain physically or quickly cause pain. She was a work of priceless work of art. He would hate to lose her but he felt guilty for not visiting Carlisle Cullen. Why not give him a piece of art for his family to appreciate?
