CAIUS P.O.V

I sat bored in my room. Athena after a thousand years had grown out of use, she was just a mere distraction. When I had first laid eyes on her almost two thousand years ago, I thought she would be my mate, now I know my mistake she was nothing but my mere singer, I do not blame her though, she would be dead long ago if it was not I and my foolish ways. She did not love me, she just wanted money and power that our marriage was to bring to her. As I was one of the three kings in the vampire world. So I had long ago given up on finding my true mate before I face death.

Suddenly there was a knock at the dark wooden door, I was too absorbed in my mind that I had not heard Felix approaching my room. I grimaced before I placed my angry and mischievous kingly attitude into my mind, letting my emotions burn at the back of my mind.

"What is it? I was quite enjoying myself Felix." I snap.

"Master Caius" Felix Bows "Your brothers have requested you in the throne room."

"Very well then, inform them I shall be a moment longer, off you go." I sigh

I wonder, is Heidi back already? Surely not she departed only mere days ago. I knew she was not due back till this evening at the earliest. As I reach the throne room Jane and Alec await me.

"Why am I needed?" I huff.

"A vampire arrived, we do not know anything else Master Caius." Alec replies

I growl "Very well, follow."

The doors open and a strange sweet smell of an unfamiliar vampire tickle's my senses. A vampire around the age of seventeen when changed stands. His copper hair seeming dull and unkempt, with the strange yellow eyes. Other than Carlisle I had never met one with yellow eyes, I sit on my throne and rest my chin on the palm of my hand

"Can we hurry, I am quite bored already." I angrily say.

Aro shots me a death glare and turns to the young vampire. "Now that all the kings are present, may you tell us who you are and what we can offer you?"

"My name is Edward Cullen. Carlisle told me about you, he was the one who changed Me." the vampire says.

Huh? So Carlisle is still alive after three hundred years. That's a surprise.

"That's because he was very busy the last few years. He found a family." Edward said without hesitation. I blinked in confusion. Had I said out loud what I was thinking?

"No, please forgive me, I can read everyone's thoughts." he explains

I snarled but did not say anything. When I forgave him no, or later, had no reason behind why I would have the pleasure of killing him afterwards.

Aro laughs excitedly. "So, may I?"

Edward stared at the hand that Aro offered to him then grabbed it. They both went silent for a while, as Aro took in Edwards's memories. When my brother loosened his grip and took a step away from him he looked like a child on Christmas day.

"I appreciate your memories of Carlisle." He said smiling before his expression turned dark "Let us think about your request. Come back in four days."

Edward nodded and left the room. Our guard seemed to relax a bit. Unknown vampire's brought them to the highest of concentration because they were unknown to us. I shot a glance towards Marcus who was sitting there without any emotions. This lack of them made me always shiver.

"What was his request?" I snap at my brother who still stood in the place where Edward stood a minute ago.

"He requested death." Aro simply said. For a moment I stared at him in disbelieve.

"So why haven't you given him what he mostly wanted?" I frown.

"Because my dear brother, has a fascinating gift. And he broke one of our laws." Aro hums.

Only Aro was talented enough to mention the positive and the negative argument in one sentence. I was the negative, Marcus the positive but Aro, dear Aro was the balanced one.

"He can read thoughts, without a touch of a hand, without having to take every memory, he has the power to read only your current thought process, and it is something that I have not seen in anyone else." he claps.

"So? He doesn't seem all that special even though he can do things that you cannot, your gift my dear brother is more powerful than his, all he would be good for is in the guard even then he doesn't seem the type." I argue.

"So what is his crime?" Marcus cuts in.

This shall be interesting... I lean forward and stare down at Aro.

Aro sighs. "The young one told a human woman about us. Her name is Isabelle Marie Swan but she prefers Bella."

"Why in earth's name would he do that? Has he not been told of our laws?" Marcus frowns in deep thought.

That was what I would like to know, we were the ones who raised Carlisle to be the one he is today, was he so foolish? I thought of him as a third brothered her I am three hundred years later finding he has not taught his family the basic laws?

"He believed she was her true mate." Aro explains softly. Marcus should understand what he is talking about.

"But she wasn't... I am guessing." I ask.

Aro nods silently, the guards stared at us. They waited for our decision.

"He left her in the woods, nearby her home, she was hurt at her birthday party a coven member was hosting. If he was her true mate he could never have left the young woman, even if so for her own safety. He thinks that she is dead because someone told him so. He didn't go and check to see if it was true, so I very much doubt that the young lady is really dead." Aro says in a curious tone.

I looked up when I felt two gazes on me. One from Aro the other from Marcus.

"What?!" I asked annoyed suddenly then realised what they both were asking of me. "No, please do not force me to go into that horrible new world, especially just for a human girl, who must be a brat."

Aro softly smiles "We need someone who will bring her over here so we can hold a trial for Edward."

"Why her? Why not Carlisle? Humans are pathetic and start to shiver before they even see us." I groan.

I knew that I was going to pack in a few minutes. When my two brothers have the same thought, they always get what they want.

"Caius, just stand up, pack your bag, travel to forks, get the girl and bring her back. It's a three day trip, if that." Aro simply says impatient.

"Does she have to live?" I blurted out.

"You will take Jane and Demetri with you and no she is to be alive." my brother says. "Maybe... take Felix along too, for good measure."

"As you wish brothers." I snarl and speed out of the room with a bang. I loathed the new world with all their technology, cars, etc. I hate travel and I hate that they deem themselves blessed to be American as they stopped the wars. But it just war after war.

I reached my room and saw a bag half packed already on the bed. Athenodora seemed to be happy to get rid of me for a few days or so. Two hours later I am off to the real world with Jane, Felix and Demetri. I glare at Volterra gets smaller and smaller until it vanishes.

BELLA P.O.V.

I sat in school for majority of the day but mostly I had a gut feeling that something was going to happen, something very bad. The worst thing was there was no one to talk to about it, well there was Jake but he disappeared from my life weeks ago too. I felt like my heart had been ripped out, but underneath that was anger that they had just let me like it meant nothing at all. I take a breath to calm down and try to listen to what Jessica is saying, she still hasn't spoken to me since Edward left. Angela is the only reason why I had to endure listening to her whinny voice.

"I planned a trip to La push" she smiles.

"When are you planning to go?" he said placing a smile on his face.

"On the weekend, you know, I heard the surf would be wicked." she flips her hair over her shoulder.

I tune out what she is talking about until I hear someone call my name.

"Bella would you like to join us?" Jessica asks.

"Um, no thanks, I have to go see my mum on the weekend." I flash a fake smile.

Mike began to object but thankfully, the bell rung. The rest of the day went smoothly, I got through gym without hurting myself or someone else much to the coach's delight. When I arrive home, Charlie isn't there, which isn't unusual, I read the note he left explaining he had to do night emergency's which he didn't do often being a chief. I throw the paper in the bin and cook dinner for myself, placing Charlie's in the fridge for later, once cleaned up I go to my room and start up my old computer.

Softly smiling I read the email from mom and type a short reply so she wouldn't worry too much. Promising not to fall into depression again after a certain vampire left forks, but I know now it won't happen again, I didn't really love him. I only liked how much he cared about me. How he told me he loved me and that he would rather die then see mw hurt. I was just the typical naïve schoolgirl who had never been loved. Of course mom and Charlie liked me and I liked them, I even liked Phil. But I realised that it wasn't love long ago. I was the who was in charge of mom, I had to pay the bills, look after mom and i had to watch out that she didn't spend to much otherwise she would loose interest after one month. I was a mother to her, not the other way around, it was nice to lose that feeling and that I could now be the one to be cared for.

The only thing I missed was my second family. My goofy big brother, my shy emotional brother, my bitchy sister, my pixie bubbly sister, my sweet and caring mother and my smart, caring and understanding father. Even though my time with them was short I still felt like I belonged there, with my human family and friends I had no purpose with them I did. After they left I couldn't understand myself anymore. I wasn't built to be a vampire, scared of doing the wrong thing, killing a human by mistake.

I shook the feeling and started to clean the house, my room was a living mess, if I had one way of explaining it. My furniture was covered with clothing, except my closet, that was empty, I picked all my items up not knowing what was dirty or clean anymore. After that I cleaned the rest of the house, humming to a song I didn't know but I had heard it somewhere and can't remember. At ten o'clock, I yawned and decided that I was tired enough to go to bed, when I got up there and walked towards my bed I saw a wooden floor board slightly more lifted then the others, I kneel next to it and lift the plank out of the way to reveal a sliver chest. Carefully I lift it out and see the Cullen's family crest, frowning I open it to reveal all the photo's i had taken of them, a ton of cash, several notes, two sets of keys and a passport.

I read each letter from each family member and smile, they gave me their possible addresses promised to watch from a distance and have left the house and cars for me. I place everything back in the box and hide it again so Charlie cannot find it, once that is done i stand and turn to see the window wide open, I am one hundred percent sure it was closed when I walked in.

"Surprise! Ah glad to see you awake, makes things funnier." a unfamiliar, male voice says.

I turn and scream as I see blood red eyes, his cold hand covers my mouth.

"I would appreciate it if you didn't make a sound." the boy taunts.

I stay silent but my heart is thudding at a million miles per hour, hurting my ribcage.

Why the hell was this vampire here? Better yet what does he want?
