Bella's POV

It had been years since I had last seen Edward or the rest of the Cullen's. I was planning a trip to Italy with Jacob, and then he canceled saying the others wouldn't let him go. So I had gone alone.

I had visited many cities, but one cloudy day I decided to go to the city of Volterra. I had been walking through the streets when a pale faced man bumped into me. He looked at me and in English introduced himself, "Hello, My name Is Aro, what's your's?"

"Oh, Um, my name's Isabella, please, call me Bella." I was trying to think of a way out of the conversation, his eyes were red like James' had been. I knew what he was. Vampire.

I remembered hearing that name before and then it hit me. The pain came wrenching into me as I remembered Edward talking about the Volturi. I smiled as he told me I seemed different and he wanted me to come to his Castle for a tour of it. I had agreed, not wanting to upset him. He took my hand. Astonishment crossed his face when he shook it. I didn't know why.

"Oh, Bella, you are so different from so many girls I've met." He said to me. He walked swiftly and I kept stumbling. He kept pulling me up and steadying me as we went along.

"Oh, but I am from America, so that's probably why, and I mean look at me, I'm not tan like most other girls, so I know I'm a little different, I mean I really don't like things most girls like." I had stuttered, then remembering my Bike I asked. "Can I go get my bike and bring it with me, I mean it's really very good for getting around."

"Oh of course, let's go get it now." He said.

I let go of his hand and went to my bike and got on. He was on the back in a few seconds. "Good Idea, I can tell you where it is and we can get there faster." he cooed.

"Right." I smiled, scared to be with him.

"So, It's a right down the next street then if you go strait you will be there in no time." Aro smiled, he made sure I turned at just the right time and told me when to stop.

"This is the castle you were talking about?" it was a colossal castle with towers and what looked like a cathedral connecting them. He had the guard open the gate and we drove inside.

"Come on Bella, we can take a tour of it now that we are here." Aro said. He pulled me through the front door and up the stairs to a room that looked like it could sleep 5 people in the single bed there was in it.

"Wow, nice room." I told him.

"Well, I need you to say here for a moment while I get some of my brothers and sisters to come." he looked like he was going to bring the whole guard to come see me, and I knew I was in trouble. What if they knew my secret? Would they kill me? Aro turned and shut the door behind him, I waited for a few seconds before turning and trying to open the door. It was locked. Shit.

"Oh crap, they are going to kill me." I said to myself. I sank to the floor and wished I could get out of here.

A few moment's later Aro and two others stepped through the door, I looked up at the two handsome men with them. Then more beautiful vampires walked through the door. One, a small girl was smiling at me with frustration in her eyes. Another was a bored looking one with jet black hair looked me over raised an eyebrow and looked at Aro with surprise, he was one of the first two to come in with Aro.

"Bella, I would like you to meet my family," he pointed to the silver haired one who had also been one of the first to come in, "This is Marcus, and this one is Caius." he was now pointing to the one who had looked bored now.

"Nice to meet you." I said.

Aro continued to go through a list of names, one for each of the vampires standing in the room. After naming each one and having them all shake hands with me he said. "Bella, you too will be in this family very soon."

I played dumb saying, "Are you, er, proposing to me?"

"Oh, no, I'm just saying you will be like us very, very soon." Aro said. Marcus and Caius placed their hands in his and I realized this must be his power. "Yes my brothers, I have found a new addition to the guard."

"Okay, I think your insane, I'm going to go now." I said heading for the door.

"Oh, no your not Bella. You are going to stay here with me and become my wife." He smiled and patted me on the back and pulled me back from the door.

Gasps came from the other Volturi members. I looked at him in shock. "I think you should go jump in a bonfire." I said knowing that would kill him.

"Oh, Bella, I know you will like it here." Aro said.

"No, I'm sure I won't!" I shouted, "My dad's a cop, and I know he will be worried if I don't come back home next week!"

"Who really cares? I mean It's not like he will find out." Aro walked from the room, the other Volturi members followed.

As soon as they were gone I crumbled to the floor and fell to pieces crying. What the Hell just happened? I'm some Vampire's Bride, that's what the fucking hell happened.
