Aro's Pov.

"They aren't like us they shouldnt deny what they are Aro." Caius demanded.
"Brother, they have not broken any rules. You know that aswell as i do." I stated clearly. The Cullens have been an issue from the start. Although Carlisle and i have been good friends, his 'reputation' has raised to many issues. Bella has much potential i can see that but she knows too much, that law has been broken and the intention of her becoming one of us is taking too long.
"Dammit Marcus stop throwing things!" Marcus yelled while bringing me back to reality.
"Caius why are you so against the Cullens, you know that Carlisle is one of my dear friends." I responded trying to distract them from breaking anything else.
"They get away with breaking the laws, Bella either becomes a vampire or she doesnt either way she has to die." Marcus replied coldly.
I began to walk away, leaving toward my study.
"Aro!" Shouted a high pitched voice making me jump out of my seat.
"Ahh Heidi, how may i help?"
"Well, we have a new recruit!" She said clapping her hands.
"Whom may this be?" I asked, not knowing why i wasnt told this. She began to walk away and i took that as a cue to follow. we made our way through many doors and down to the training room.
This room was completely empty, the walls made of stone and the light was dim. Leaning in the corner stood a teenager boy. His eyes a bright crimson red and his dirty blonde hair hung a bit over his forehead.
"This is Logan," Heidi pointed toward the boy. As she said this he moved in front of me giving me a closer look. Along his jaw lay many teeth scars marked by venom.
"May i say it is a pleasure to--" He began before i interrupted.
"Pass your hand boy." I asked polietly. I watched as he looked down on my hand, questioning if he should.
"I will not harm you if that is what you are worried about, I simply want to know your intentions." Slowly he lifted his hand although he still had his doubts.
Looking through his memories he seemed pretty intent, although he is only three years he has quite a self control. He is only 19 and knows the Culllens extremely well. Despite his lack of memory he has much for my brothers to know.
"Facinating." This made him smile.
"Follow me." I said and turned toward the doors. I walked fast letting my cape fly behind me as i made my way to the throne room where Marcus and Caius should be. Opening the doors i stopped to get the attention of Marcus and Caius.
"Brothers I have news." I said while taking a seat at the long time placed at the end of the room, Marcus and Cauis sitting either side.
"Brothers meet Logan." I said lifting a hand toward Logan who was standing in the middle of the room awkwardly.
"What's he here for? Aro?" Caius demanded.
"Hush, listen brother," I said attemping to calm him down.
"Tell me Boy, how do you know the Cullens?" As soon as i said this Caius instantly straightened up.
"I met the Cullens as a newborn, they said they could help. And for that i was greatful. His coven is very nice and i do admire their strength. But you see, we had a guest over. His blood was unlike anything i have ever smelt before. His blood sang to me and i could not wait so i attacked. They werent proud of me at all and i was kicked out instantly, they then moved to Washington or somewhere." The room filled with silence.
"Your ability. Tell us about that Logan." I asked knowing Caius would be more interested.
"Well i have to ability to hide memories without them knowing," he said quietly.
"Excellent!" Caius spoke aloud while giving me a knowing smirk.
"Heidi! Take Logan and get him a room to stay in aswell as some clothes."
"Anything you say." Heidi said while giving a seductive smile toward Logan. As soon as they were out of hearing range the planning began.
"Aro, he's perfect. Dont you see what we can do? The potential!" Caius began excitedly, maybe getting a little too far.
"Explain." Marcus asked.
"We must talk to the Cullens immediatly they need to decide to change her or leave her. If they change her, then no rule is broken. But if they leave her then we can make her join. She has as much potential, her ability is amazing dont you agree Aro?" He looked at me waiting my opinion.
"How will we know she will join?" Marcus asked Caius. We watched him pace foward and back.
"We make them forget her, if they hurt her then she wont want to know them any more."
"Interesting. We shall leave to Washington tomorrow. Many things to do. Caius, Marcus convince Logan." I demanded.
"Yes brother." They said in unison before leaving the room.
I've heard much of Isabella, i may not know much but what Carlisle has said, she is very intreging. Her ability to.. shield. She could expand, she could fight, Volturi can do great things with her on our side. If this can go as planned then this will work. This must work.

We arrived in Forks just before lunch, before the mind reader came home. One slip up will cause too much mayhem.
"Caius and Logan you must stay in the hotel." I demanded.
"What! No way!" Caius and Logan shouted.
"Logan they know you wouldnt come over for a friendly visit and Marcus your temper could spoil this so please, stay here brother." I stated not wanting more on the subject. Marcus and I ran through the forest onto the drive way of the Cullens.
"Aro! How are you!" Carlisle shouted while holding his hand out.
"Ahh Carlisle, Im great. May we talk." I said while shaking his hand. He then lead Marcus and i into the living room and offered a seat. We were greeted by Esme soon after and we all sat opposite from each other.
"What brings you here." Carlisle asked knowing this wasnt a 'friendly' visit.
"You see Carlisle, issues have been raised and it is now time for you to change it."
"Whats the issue? I dont believe we have brocken any laws." Esme asked confused.
"Carlisle, Bella knows too much i give you the choice to weither change her within 24 hours or leave. I'm sorry to put you in this position but there isnt much else i can do. You see, leaving her is the safest for she will forget. You see where im going Carlisle?" I asked withas much sincerity as i could.
"You see thats Edwars decision we-" Esme began before i interrupted,
"Im sorry there isnt any other option. You are my dearest friends and you know i cant do anything. The laws are laws. I shall leave you for now. 24 hours Carlise not a minute later. Marcus let us go now."
Hurting my friend wasnt one of my intentions but i can only do so much, with ruling comes sacrafice. We reached the Forks hotel to see a very impatient Caius,
"Calm brother, its up to them now. We shall go follow them soon, just let them decide over tonight. Lets hope this is all wirth it..
The next hours were used to plan. Logan was filled out on his part and Caius was planning everything step by step. Beep Beep, The alarm on my cellphone meant it was time to see the decision.
"Brothers, Logan. It's time. Now keep your minds clear, do not think of the plan alright. When i signal Logan you will hide their memory of Bella ever exsisting in the Cullens life. If this doesnt go through, leave immeediatly i will handle the rest. Understood?"
"Understood." All three said in unison. With that we ran to the Cullens. Walking up the Cullens door seemed quite depressing. The door was opened for us and we were let in. The looks on everyones face meant everything must have gone our way.
"It's done! Happy now?" Alice yelled toward us.
"No." Logan replied entering the room. Shock filled all the eyes as they saw him.
"Logan?" Carlisle asked.
"Logan." I said firmly knowing he knew it was time. Marcus, Caius and i left not wanting to interfere and we waited outside. We were soon followed by Logan who had a smirk plastered across his face. I left through the forest with Logan to find Bella, while the others waited to meet me at the car just outside the Cullens drive.
I followed Bellas scent, she did seem to have that scent. Logan needed to get to Edward for it to work. I watched the scene unfold, i watched the hurt as he walked and i stayed close by until she tripped. I stepped out from behind the tree and made my way to her.
"Edward." She whispered. I picked her up and began to run back to the car.
"Aro, Edward is finished." Logan updated me as i placed Bella into the car.
"We need to go to Volterra now. Before she loses too much blood." Caius stated before driving full speed to the airport.

Isabella lay silently on the double bed. Her heart barely beating so it was time, i watched as my brothers gathered around including Logan of course. I lay my head near her neck and stopped breathing. I held her shoulders down and bit into her neak letting my venom flow into her system. I then leapt up and walked away not wanting to lose any more self control. Her blood on my teeth haunted me, wanting me to very much turn around. Running around the castle i hoped not to be stopped but i locked myself in my study, just looking around made me calm a bit. Grabbing my notebook hidden under my desk i began to write the events of Isabella Swan.
Hours passed and i knew i should be in perfect self control so i made my way back to where Isabella was staying. There on the bed she lay perfectly but in pain, she didnt make a sound but i know she could feel it, she'll always feel it. On her side Logan began wiping her forehead with a damp face cloth while comforting with such words and squeezed her hands when she flinched.
"She is remarkable Aro, not a sound." Logan whispered.
"Yes. She seems quite powerful, i wish to know what she is thinking but even so, i dont think she knows how to let me in." I replied quietly.
"All in good time'" Logan smiled to me then turned back to Isabella. I walked to the other side of the bed watching her rest while i placed a hand on her forehead and closed my eyes hoping she would reveal something.
"Anything brother?" Marcus asked.
"Darkness.." I breathed knowing this would happen anyways.
"Interesting, do you think she can expand this ability? To protect others minds besides her own?" Caius asked becoming very interesting.
"I do not know brothers, she unlike anything i have seen." I replied with a small smile.
"She is quite beautiful.." Logan began to whisper. Sending Caius and Marcus into a laughing fit.
"What did i say?" Logan asked questioning me. I giggled and shrugged my shoulders, my brothers were always childish no matter how old they are, and who they are married too.
Time passed and neither of us moved all wanting to be there when she wakes. Her heart was becoming slower by the minute and that means it was a matter of minute. I moved closer annd Logan moved away knowing i'd make him move anyways. Her heart began to fase until it stood still and silent just like the room. She began to move and her fists tightened, she was ready..
