"Aro wants to see you again, Bella," Called Huna, who was standing in my doorway. She was my bodyguard, but also my best friend. "He doesn't sound happy. Did you do something to make him mad? Bella…?"

I sighed. My brother was so bossy when it came right down to it. He acted like if he were mom. Although It had been more than two millennium since I last saw her, I could still faintly remember her. Her pink cheeks, and kind smile.... I think that her name was Renee, but I can't really remember.

"I'll be right there," I managed through my teeth. I was more than two-thousand years old, he didn't have to treat me like a little baby. My brother Aro, is the Vampire "king". He ruled all vampires, especially me. I remembered how all of this had happened. During our times, there used to be one legend that everybody knew. It was about a monster that drunk people's blood. It was craving for it every night. He used to come out when it was dark, stoking the lonely small children and the women.

One night, I wanted to go play outside because of the dark. I wanted someone to play with me, so I asked my big brother. He was 10 years older than me. I was 16 at the time. I didn't believe there was really a monster, so I wasn't scared. once outside, I ran as fast as I could to the cave. It was hidden under a bush. I hid in there while my brother searched for me. He was mad. I had heard breathing behind me, but I thought it was an animal. My brother found me then, yelling and screaming at me for running. All of a sudden, I see a shadow right next to me, and it didn't belong to Aro. Aro went silent. He looked me in the eyes, and said "Blood monster". The next thing I knew, I was screaming of agony. Then, there was a second monster. Aro started screaming too. All of a sudden, I saw two other shadows. They got the monster off of me and my brother. They killed them, and burned their bodies.

Three days later, I was transformed, and so was Aro. The two other people that had saved my life(a half of it) wanted to have order, so Aro and the other two, whose names where Caius and Marcus, started ruling the vampire world. Leaving me by the tittle of 'annoying little sister'. Aro said I would never be more mature like him because, I had stopped growing. But, When I had only been 10 years being a vampire, I had fainted. Well, gone into a coma. I didn't wake up for about almost two thousand years.. So technicaly, I was only 55 years old. No one knew why I could and had fainted, I would not say or think of the word coma. I was different. Human blood didn't interest me. Animal blood was the good kind. Although, everybody envied my power. I was a shield. So powerful that my power was number one on the powers list.

It had been less than a second since Huna stopped talking.

She laughed. "Good luck, you're going to need it."

"Thanks."

Aro was glaring at me when I entered his study.

"What do you want, Aro?" I glared back.

"What did I tell you about using my books? I told you they were special." He was screaming now. "Damn it, Bella!! Do you have to steal my books?!"

He was furious. I could tell. I had borrowed a book or two because I got bored last night. "I only took three books, and I borrowed them. You know I like to read. I get bored at night."

" Then go buy a book, or go do something other than sit around all night and day!"

"You told me I couldn't leave the tower. Make up your mind!"

"Well, go send someone to go get it for you! You have a laptop, order it online."

"Forget it," I threw my arms up and let them drop at my sides."I guess I'll go sit on my bed for the rest of eternity." and I ran at vampire speed to the garden.

I was looking at a plant that was dying. It's leaves were yellow and weak. It was bent down a little at the top, and the flowers were dried up. It had no life. It's turn to live was over, gone and it was forgotten, It was treated harshly. I laughed once without humor. How many things the dead plant and I had in common. Except that I couldn't physically die. Lucky plant. What was the point in forever when you had noting to live for? Life was a mystery.

Huna found me then, becuase I could hear her footsteps. I wanted to be alone, to think for a while, so I extended my shield. I had learned to control it better to a point where someone could not go past it. I heard Hena stop, and take in a deep breath.

"Bella, c'mon. Let me in," she pleeded.

"Not today, Hena. Not today."

Life is a mystery. You think you know what it's about, but the chain of life keeps pulling you down. I was almost certain that my life, or existance, was over just like the dying plant. I don't know I will survive in the future, but that somehow, I was going to water my plant.
