I walked down the hall that leads from my chambers down to the throne room, where my father and the masters awaited. I was wearing my pitch black cloak over a green dress and my gold Volturi crest around my pale neck. I saw Jane exiting from the hallway that her chambers resided on and she joined me towards the throne room.

"Hello princess" Jane said respectfully and smiled. I absolutely loved how the supposedly sadistic Jane was loyal and obedient to me.

"Hello Jane, why does father wish to see me?" I asked nonchalantly. I smiled back at her and my teeth shimmered. She shrugged her shoulders and I sighed.

Whenever father wanted to see me and Jane didn't know why, it was usually because he wanted to be the one to tell me himself, which means its big news.

"You look incredibly lovely, Princess Isabella" she smiled angelically as she opened the doors to the throne room and held them open for me. My father beamed when I walked in, as did Marcus. Caius sat back in his throne eying me, but not exactly scowling.

"Greetings, my beloved daughter. We have been awaiting your arrival" father got up and pulled me into a hug. I saw Demetri and Felix next to Marcus and Alec was next to Caius.

"Hello father, you wished to see me?" I flashed a blinding smile and he took my hand.

"Yes, my child. I need to inform you that we have planned a ball for all of the covens to attend. We also wish to tell you that we shall introduce you to the vampire world at the ball." He grinned and I was shocked with joy. I was tired of hiding during every event, but my father was too worried to let others know about me until I was ready.

"This is wonderful, thank you father." I smiled and leaped into his arms in a bone crushing hug. Caius got up and walked over to us.

"I still do not believe she is ready, what if another coven attempts to harm her?" he said and looked at me protectively. One of the many things I do not understand about Caius Volturi is that he is protective of me, yet I'm not sure if he does it for father's sake or because he wants too.

"Nonsense brother, if someone intends harm upon my daughter, there will be dire consequences." He looked grave and I knew that dire consequences meant death on the spot. Caius did too because he smirked and looked down at me. Even as a vampire, I was a few inches shorter than Caius, and he loved having the extra stand of power over me.

I would never speak out against Caius. I respected him greatly, for his lack of extra abilities besides strategy. He was also never affected by my many gifts, he was the only one. Everyone knew of the way Caius and I valued each other. I respected him as king, and my master, and he respected me as a princess of the vampire world. He was the only one that would tell me no to something. Caius's wife, Athenodora, loved me like her niece and I loved her. Sulpicia was my mother as Aro was my father. They disliked my inability to defy Caius, for they truly believed he craved that power over me.

Speak of the vampire mother, here she comes. Mother walked into the room, with Athenodora.

"Hello mother" smiled and walked over to her. She hugged me gently.

"Hello darling, did Aro tell you of the news?" she asked in her musical soprano voice. She was so incredibly beautiful, with her dark brown hair, and deep red eyes, the color of flames.

"Yes mother, he did, and I'm so excited" I exclaimed, my voice ringing with the joy I felt.

"Good, because we must pick you out the appropriate gown" Athenodora stepped in front of Sulpicia and took my hand. Father placed his hands on mother's shoulders. I nodded and Athenodora stood next to Caius. Alec walked over to me.

"Heidi and Jane wish to take you shopping and for you to get ready to leave. Shall I escort the princess back to her chambers for I would be more than happy to do so?" Alec smiled his playful, yet respectful smile. I nodded and we exited the room. I waved goodbye to everyone.

We headed down the empty hall towards my chambers when he placed his hand around my waist which I honestly didn't have a problem with. I thought Alec was very nice. We arrived at my door and he leaned in to kiss my cheek but I turned my head to look at him and he kissed my lips. I didn't pull away and he wrapped his arms around me and I placed my hands on his broad shoulders. We stayed like that for a moment before Alec was pulled away from me. I would have been thrown to if someone had not wrapped their arm around my waist. I looked up to see who it was who held me, and it was none other than Master Caius.

Alec scrambled to his feet until he saw master Caius, then he stopped cold. Alec was well aware of Caius's hatred of anyone touching me.

"Get up and return to your chambers, Alec." He growled, and Alec nearly ran away. Caius let go of me and glared.

"Sorry to interrupt, princess" he sneered and turned to walk away but I placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Don't leave, I'm sorry, Caius." I mumbled. I wasn't sure why, but I hated him being mad at me. He turned and gripped my wrist.

"Why are you sorry? It looked like you were thoroughly enjoying Alec's touch." He growled. I was stupid. Caius and Athenodora's room was next to mine. It was not surprising running into him.

"It's not like that, and you know it." I said, looking into his crimson eyes. His glare softened a bit and he loosened his hold on my wrist.

"Your father and I have repeatedly told you about the guards here. They are not fit for the princess." He looked down at me with a serious look on his beautiful face. I nodded and he opened my door for me and disappeared.

Okay, so this is a new story of mine. Is it a keeper? I need reviews before I continue. Thanks.
