Betrayal and Redemption

Edward pov

We were going to Volturi, me and my family. I didn't want to. It had been 40 years but the pain was still fresh. The distractions I had talked about had not helped, I still missed her, I still loved her and I know I always will. I would not find anyone like her and I don't just talk of her almost irresistible blood, but her. It had been 40 years since that day in the woods, when I left her. My hope was that she got over me and lived the life I wanted for her. She must be around her late 50's by now; to me the past decades had gone so slow. But for her I was sure they seemed fast and went too quickly for her liking.

Here I was in the back of Carlisle car. Rosalie's red convertible was up ahead, we dashed through the streets of Italy.

Carlisle and Esme had begged me to come with them. They had become so upset with my departure from them. I preferred to stay to myself. Rosalie was bored with my seemingly constant brooding over a normal human girl.

Italy in normal POV

Edward and the Cullen's entered the large throne room. Aro, Marcus and Caius stood in the centre of the room waiting for the guests. "Carlisle", Aro greeted. The old friendship between them still stood strong as ever. He swooped into the blonde vampire for a quick hug, before turning to his beautiful caramel haired wife. "And the forever gorgeous Esme" He smiled. Even Esme's kindness seemed to fault slightly at the aspect of hugging Aro who she knew could crush her at any second. Her distaste didn't show of course, but she knew he would know as soon as they touched. She felt him stiffen as their skin touched each other. "I see you brought the whole family" he smiled, flawlessly shaking of Esme's thoughts.

"Yes" Carlisle smiled warmly, "Thank you so much for inviting us to stay with you, I'm hoping it might help"

"Of course I'm always happy to help you Carlisle" Aro said.

"I'm sorry but we have another visitor today, she is an old acquaintance part of the guard a few years ago" Aro explained. Edward gasped, "No" he said.

Before Aro could address the thoughts Edward had seen going through his mind the doors to the throne room opened. They all turned to watch the girl they had left walk in swiftly. She was exactly the same; she hadn't aged a day over about it must have been eighteen or nineteen. The Cullen's breath caught as the dark haired girl walked with such grace into the room. Her arms spread wide and an overly friendly smile on her lips. "Aro" she exclaimed. Their greeting was that of old friends; a loose hug and a kiss on both cheeks.

"Isabella" Aro said back. Bella ignored the family she once had and got to business.

"Why did you call me Aro?" she asked all ready annoyed. Aro always creped her out, mostly because of his crimson red eyes and uncomfortable nature. "I was enjoying Paris"

"I thought that was a girl's name?" Felix mocked from the side of the room. Bella rolled her eyes, ignoring the vampire who was always bitter with her after she rejected him years ago.

"That phone was meant for emergencies" Bella said, she began walking around the room she knew way to well. The vampire was able to skilfully look around without once looking at the Cullen's. She strolled over to Aro's throne and sat down, with her legs over the arm rest. Bored she started examining her nails.

"I have news on Klaus" he said knowing this will get her attention. Bella's head snapped up.

"What news?" she asked.

"He's back in Mystic falls" he said, "He's broken the curse"

"How do you know this?"

"I have people reporting to me" he answered. "His awoken his family. The doppelganger and her friends tried an attack him with a white oak stake but it instead he killed his father"

Bella rolled her eyes.

"How is Damon doing?" he asked. Bella looked down to the diamond ring that wrapped around her finger. The mention of her fiancé made her begin to fiddle with the silver band, which cradled the beautiful diamond. It was an heirloom from Damon's mother. He had stolen it from the family home and kept it for the last 100 years. "I hear he had a run in with a wolf"

"He's fine", she smiled. "He's safe" she whispered. "As long as Klaus does not know he is with me of course"

"Why? Klaus won't be happy with the man you with to marry" Aro asked, with a smirk.

"If Klaus finds out about me and Damon, he would be dead. That's why I left Damon in the first place. I can't marry the man I love until that son of a bitch is dead" Bella snapped. She looked on the verge of killing someone. If only her strength was not so inferior to Aro's or the others she was near too.

"Maybe you should think about that before you betray the strongest vampire of all of time" Aro seethed.

"He wasn't meant to find out" bella whispered.

"Isabella you cheated on him with his brother!" Aro yelled. Bella looked to the Cullen's, who's eyes bulged open. She gave them a sly smirk.

"I was never with Klaus" she dismissed. "Our relationship was based on sex. He never loved me, and I never loved him" she stood and walked over to stand in front of Aro.

"Klaus has been searching for you for 20 years Isabella"

"Klaus doesn't like to be made to look weak. I betrayed him and he wants revenge" Bella explained. "Its not like I wanted this. My humanity was off, I had no emotion back then, I didn't care, but now I have to pay for my actions"

"Have you finally found the weapon you were searching for? Do you have a plan to kill him?" Aro asked.

"Yes" Bella smiled. "I got the help of some witches. There's another source of white oak in Mystic falls. I'm going to find it, make a stake and kill him" Aro nodded. "And as for a plan, part of it is walking down the hallway right now" she grinned. At that moment a young woman entered the throne room. She had long dark brown hair that fell down her shoulders in curls. Her skin was a beautiful bronze. "You came" Bella beamed, walking over to the woman. Bella's hand curved round the woman's cheek and gave her a peck on the lips.

She pulled back and smirked. Isabella could actually hear Emmett's mouth fall slack, his eyes bulging out of his skull. "Alexandra" the vampire whispered, wistfully.

"Izzy" she whispered back. Isabella wrapped an arm around her waist and walked them over to the annoying vampire.

"Your own personal witch, clever" Aro said. The brunette vampire smirked.

"Alex is more than a personal witch, she's a good friend" Bella corrected.

"I see that" Aro smiled.

Bella rolled her eyes.

"So what's your plan go in there, guns a blazing and hope you don't get struck down first?"

"No" Bella said demeaning. "Alex is my protection, I'd prefer to keep my plan to myself. But first i have to talk with people"

"Do you not trust me, Isabella?" Aro asked, not mockingly he knew too well how serious this really was.

"Of course I don't Aro. But I have insurance and you know that" Bella said. "You had to protect me all those years ago, if you didn't Elijah would have killed you and if you even tried to kill me yourself Klaus would have you dead in moments"

Aro cringed.

"Their all older than you Aro, they are the reason you rule these vampires" Bella motioned around her, she stepped up to him. "The Originals created you... and the Orginals will destroy you"

Bella grasped Alex's hand loosely and swivelled them around to the exit. "Goodbye Aro" she called over her shoulder, "Cullen's" she nodded on the way out.

Bella walked to her car that was parked down one of the narrow roads, it was a truck with enough room in the back for her motorcycle. Which was right now was covered. "You don't want to take the bike?" Alex asked raising a perfectly shaped eyebrow.

"Of course not" Bella answered walking over to the driver side door. "I have a lot of stuff and it's not fair on you to have to ride with me for hours"

"Hmmm, hours of me wrapped around you at high speeds? Doesn't sound to displeasing" she smirked. "Actually it sounds like any typical Tuesday" Alex's smile turned sultry. Bella smiled backing the sexy witch into the side of the silver truck.

"Well, unfortunately for you I'm hoping to rekindle a lifelong romance in a few hours" she whispered in her ear. She leant back so her mouth was about an inch from Alex's. Her eyes lazily moving between Alex's eyes and plump pink lips. "Otherwise I'd been happy to oblige"

For mere moments they stood there before returning to reality. "So do you wanna drive? Or me?" Alex whispered with a sly smile.

"You can if you want" Bella answered handing her the keys, she made her way round to the passage seat and climbed in. the journey was going to be a long one, mystic falls was all the way in Virginia. There was already a private jet waiting for their arrival.

So that's my first chapter! It kind of sucks but it will get better I hope. I have ideas for this story including lots of flashbacks to develop the story of what happened. The next chapter will be back in America and our drop dead gorgeous Damon will be making an appearance along with all the vampire diaries characters. But the question is will a certain family be joining the mix? And what the hell is Klaus going to do when he finds this beautiful vamp in mystic falls?

Please review and tell me what you think! There will hopefully be lots to come including a few lemons in later chapters ;) LittleMissKSalvatore:)
