Hey! Ok, so I am reposting this story as it was on a different account! Still the same pen name etc!
Disclaimer : I do not own twilight or the rest of the books! Wish I owned Emmett, Alec and Demetri! We would rule the world!
Alice, Edward and I walked into the throne room to meet what could possibly be our death. I was scared for my life, my love and my family. From what Edward had told me on my birthday, I was not supposed to know about vampires. Edward and his family broke the law by letting me in on their secret. I knew trouble would arrive through dealing with vampire but I was too stubborn to leave them alone. I was fascinated with them and eventually fell in love, not with Edward, but with vampire's altogether. I knew that I wanted to be one but in doing so I pretty much signed my own death warrant. Why did I have to get involved with vampires?
I looked at everyone in the room. From what I could tell, Aro, Caius and Marcus were the ones sitting on the thrones, Felix and Demetri were holding Edward and Alice back so the won't attack, Jane moved towards a boy possibly around my age and he was possibly the most handsome person I have ever laid eyes on. I am really glad Edward can't read my mind or else I would be in serious trouble, worse than the trouble I am already in.
The mystery boy had brown hair with tints of red in it, a pale complexion (for obvious reasons) and the most extravagant, dangerous, yet warm ruby eyes. I felt safe just looking at him. I felt like wanting to get to know him more than I should. He is an enemy of the Cullen's. I shouldn't be feeling like this. Thank heavens Jasper isn't here.
I was brought back to earth by who I assumed was Aro talking.
"What a happy surprise. Bella is alive after all."
After he said this I noticed that something was happening to Edward. I watched him collapse on to the floor. I was about to do something when the mystery boy came up to me a prevented me from doing so.
"Stop, please stop." I felt useless then I made the worst mistake of all. I looked into mystery boy's eyes.
I couldn't help myself. I got lost in them. I know I don't like blood but it was like I was drowning in a pool of blood and I couldn't have safer or happier than I was at that moment. I knew there was something going on between us that I didn't quite understand. We gazed into each other's eyes, both of us not wanting to break contact. I forgot all about Edward. I knew I should have felt ashamed of myself but I felt a pull, stronger than the one with Edward. I realised a while ago that I was not in love with him, only a strong infatuation.
"I'm Alec" was all he said. I couldn't help but think a perfect name for a perfect person.
"Bella" I replied. Just with one look, he could get me to do anything. I felt whole. There was no longer a gap in my chest from when Edward destroyed my heart from his 'love'. I then noticed a tingly sensation climbing up and down my body and I then realised that was the result of one of his hands on my hip stopping me from getting to Edward. Crap! Edward.
I forced myself to break contact and I couldn't help but notice disappointment in his eyes. Them I focused on the mission at hand, get Edward to stop hurting. I may not love him anymore but he had saved me many times. It's time to return the favour, which probably won't be a lot since I am human.
"Stop hurting him please, please!"
Aro moved his head towards Jane and told her to stop. I then realised she was doing this. She looked so innocent, except for her ruby eyes, and yet she is a lethal weapon. I would say that I would hate to get on the wrong side of her but I think I already am.
Edward could finally breathe again and I breathed a sigh of relief thanking God he was ok. I couldn't really concentrate for two reasons:
1) Alec was still holding me and it couldn't help but feel natural, and
2) Aro had just told Jane to use her power on me.
I looked toward Edward and noticed he was too busy trying to regain his posture and much as he could with Felix holding him down, then I looked toward Alec and for a split second noticed that worry flashed in his eyes.
I looked towards Jane and she said "this may hurt just a little." I waited for the impact of pain to come but to my surprise it didn't. Why didn't the pain come? I looked toward Alec once I heard him let out a breath he must have been holding in and relief, lust and something I couldn't figure out was in his eyes. I looked toward Jane and she was giving me a death glares that would put Rosalie's glares to shame. The phrase 'if looks could kill' came to mind, I would have been dead within a second.
I heard a laugh that broke my train of thought and realised it was Aro.
"Remarkable, simply remarkable. She confounds us all. Now what do we do with you know?" he said…for some reason part of me didn't want to go. Maybe because Alec was here and I wanted to get to know him, I don't know.
"You already know what you are going to do Aro." Marcus implied and I was immediately scared. I had no idea what was coming but from the tone of his voice I could already tell it wouldn't be pretty.
"She knows too much. She's a liability." Now I knew nothing good would come. I was so dead.
Felix then started attacking Edward. I was so shocked and scared. Anything could happen. I looked at Alice for the slightest suggestion that everything would be okay, but of course I knew I was getting my hopes up when I noticed Alice had a fearful look in her eye. I had to do something, but what? I looked at Alec. He hadn't seemed to have taken his eyes off me. With the look in his eyes, it seemed like he was actually inside my head, knowing what I am feeling and trying to figure out what to do as well. I brought my attention back to the fight and I knew there was no hope for Edward. Minute by minute I felt my feelings for him getting weaker and weaker, and my feelings for Alec dominating all my feeling. I knew then I was in love with Alec. I had an unnatural pull towards him; it was like we were destined to be together. I wonder if he felt the same, it would be truly amazing if he did. I now believed in love at first sight.
I brought my attention back to the fight, really regretting pulling away from Alec's eyes.
"STOP!" I screamed. They were all startled by my outburst. Oh well I better just continue. "Why do you do this? I wasn't told anything about vampires; I figured it out for myself, so why punish Edward? If you want to punish someone punish me." I heard not two but three growls. I looked towards Edward, Alice and, to my surprise, Alec. They obviously didn't like this idea.
"Is this true? She figured it out for herself? She is just a human; no human could amount to such bravery and selflessness. May I see you mind Isabella?" I simply nodded my head and walked over to Aro.
Edward stopped me, got into a crouch ready for attack and said "you don't touch her!" , then leapt into the air but fell again. I saw that Felix and knocked him down and holding him in place. I went over him and whispered in his ear.
"Edward, please stop. If I do what Aro says our lives could be spared. Please just trust me on this."
I walked over towards Aro and let him take my hand while ignoring Edward signs of protest. Aro had a blank look on his face while staring at me, like he was either concentrating really hard or in a daydream.
"Well, well, well. It looks like we have ourselves a shield. I cannot read your thoughts. I wonder why this is." This was clearly a rhetorical question but I decided to answer anyway just to let Aro know I am not scared of him (which I kind of am, but I can't let him see that).
"Edward cant read my thoughts either, never could, probably never will." I tried to say that as confident as I could but I almost cracked at the end.
"Interesting. My child you could be very useful as part of the Volturi guard, maybe as something more," he had this weird glint in his eyes. It was as if he meant as a mate. I couldn't, that would just be wrong.
"Would you care to join the Volturi dear one?" I suddenly heard and ear-piercing growl. I had to cover my ears or else I would be deaf.
"NO! She has already done everything you asked! Let her be and let her have a normal human life. She doesn't deserve this!" Edward spat out.
Was he insinuating that I wasn't good enough for him? If anything I am too good for him. Over the months that he was gone, I started to hang out with Jake and my confidence level increased immensely and he helped me realise that I wasn't in love with Edward, only the idea of him. How dare he? I still care about him though so I did something I never thought I would.
"Edward shut up! You do not make my decisions for me, God what are you, my father? I am an adult and old enough to make my own decisions so stop treating me like I'm a child or not here." I all but yelled at him.
I could tell the Volturi were very impressed and amused at my blowing up at a vampire. Felix and Demetri were rolling on the floor laughing by the end of my outburst; Caius was trying not to smile but was failing, as was Marcus. Aro was giggling like a wee schoolgirl and Jane and my Alec were holding onto each other they were laughing that hard…hold on one cotton picking minute…when did he become my Alec, but I got to admit that there was a nice ring to it. Oh sweet niblets.
"Glad I amuse you," I said while trying to stop myself from laughing. I took a minute for composing myself.
"Aro, may I talk to you private?"
"Yes my dear, follow me" I followed him out to a place where no one could here us.
"I will join your guard on one condition."
"And what condition is that dear one?" I took a deep breath and said "You let Alice and Edward go with no harm coming to them and a promise that you won't let them join the guard. Now that I am here, Edward will try not to let me out of his sight and will try to force you to let him join. He left to protect me from the dangers in this world, but as you can see that didn't work out to well. Now it is my turn to leave and protect them. They are my second family, so no harm must come to the Cullen's. Agreed? "
Aro was pondering the idea for a few seconds (while feeling like minutes) and then had a big grin stretched across his face,
"I agree. But, you must now be the princess of the Volturi. You will be a great asset to us."
"Fine, I will agree. Now we have to go break the news to the Cullen's."
Aro brought me back the throne room and everyone's head lifted towards us Alec and Edward stood up immediately, and could tell this was the moment of truth for both of them. Well, as they say 'there's no time like the present'. I took a deep breath and made my over to Edward and Alice.
"I am sorry but this was the only way to protect you and your family without anyone getting hurt, I hope you can both forgive me someday, but I have made my decision and there is no going back. I'll miss you both and please tell your family I love them and am deeply sorry for the trouble I must have caused. I have asked them not to allow you to stay or join the guard. This is something I have to do for myself. Again, I am sorry."
I looked at them and knew they were on the brink of tears, if they could cry, of course.
Demetri and Felix came over and told Alice and Edward to follow them. They both complied and murmured two soft goodbyes. They left not a second after and I broke down crying. Alec came over to me and held me close to him while I cried into his shirt. Aro told him to take me to my room, and then proceeded to tell me that I would be changed in three days. I was in Alec's arms in no time and I looked up at him into his eyes. I had a feeling everything was going to be alright as long as he was there. In three short days I will start my forever with the Volturi as their princess. Life can only get crazier from here.
