B P.O.V

"Don't do anything reckless or stupid," he ordered, no longer detached. "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

I nodded helplessly.

His eyes cooled, the distance returned. "I'm thinking of Charlie, of course. He needs you. Take care of yourself—for him."

I nodded again. "I will," I whispered.

He seemed to relax just a little.

"And I'll make you a promise in return," he said. "I promise this will be the last time you'll see me. I won't come back. I won't put you through anything like this again. You can go on with your life without any more interference from me. It will be as if I'd never existed."

I bolted upright in my large king size bed my legs completely trapped in the dark blue comforter. I ran my hand over my face sweat gleaming all over. Untangling my legs from the comforter I slid out of bed and started pacing around my royal suite trying to shake the images out of my head. The dream had taken place four years ago and his promise held true, I haven't seen him or even heard from him since that night.

"Isabella are you okay?" Said a voice I knew very well but still startling me making me jump.

"Alec don't do that you know I can't hear you come in most of the time. How bad was it tonight?" I asked knowing I screamed when I dreamt of Him.

"Not that bad but I think you might be the first to give a vampire a headache from loud noises." Alec said chuckling and walking over to hold me. When his arms wrapped around me I leaned into him for comfort and wrapped my arms around him waist. He kissed the top of my head and started to run his hand up and down my back there was nothing more than friendly support and that's why I had grown closest to him. Even though he didn't know what I was going through he would just sit and hold me until I was okay but even then he would stay with me and talk to me to get my mind off of Him.

"Do you think the pain will ever go away?" I asked into his chest.

"No, I don't think it will. It might dull to where you don't feel it as often but I will always be there. But just know that whenever you feel it I'll be here to make it better for you." He said moving his hand from my back to cup my face. I looked up to see the smile on his face and gave him one in return as he bent to kiss my forehead. "Oh before I forget there was another reason I came here. Aro wants to see you in the throne room so go get dressed I'll be waiting outside your room okay."

I nodded and made my way to my big as a mall closet to look through the dresses I was required to wear as "Royalty". All my clothes were blue but not just a certain blue all different kinds of blue. The reason why is simple each level of the Volturi has a certain color: The Rulers are gold, the higher Guard is silver, the lower Guard is bronze, and the workers are green. When I came along and Aro accepted me in as his daughter Jane suggested that I wear blue. When Aro approved the idea Jane went right to work filling my closet with all kinds of blue dresses. I pulled out a flowing dress with a one shoulder strap lined with jewels and a belt of small diamonds. After putting on my dress I pulled my hair up in to a neat bun and made my way out of my room to Alec.

"Did Aro say why he needed to talk to me?" I asked taking his arm and heading to the throne room.

"No he just turned to me after about an hour of thinking and told me to go get you." He said looking at me with a curious expression on his face. We walked in silence for the rest of the trip to see Aro. As the throne room came near Alec walked ahead to open the large wooden doors into the marble made room. When I entered the room I stood in the center and bowed my head in respect.

"You wanted to see me?" I asked lifting my head to look at my adoptive father.

"Yes I was thinking about what you are in the Volturi and I've come to a conclusion." Aro said with a little humor in his voice. When I spoke my voice was not as strong as I meant it to be it was laced with a slight hint of fear.

"And what was your conclusion Father?"

"Nothing, you have no real role in the Volturi." He said like it was an obvious answer.

"So what do you propose the answer is?" I asked thinking his answer was to get rid of me. Though when the Volturi say get rid of they really mean kill you and not regret it. Aro got up and walked over to me with a smile on his face.

"Well since I do consider you a daughter and both Caius and Marcus have grown to love you as a niece I could not bear to lose you. So I have decided to introduce you to the vampire world with a proper coronation as princess of the Volturi. We will throw a Ball and invite as many as possible to witness this then turn you that night. With you being a vampire you will be more involved in the Volturi." Aro said excitedly gripping my shoulders.

"You want to introduce me as a human to the vampire world? " I squeaked out.

"Don't be alarmed you will have a guard at all times no one who means you harm will get anywhere near you. I'll even let you pick your guard to escort you and protect you." Aro chuckled pulling me into a hug.

"I want Alec Father; I want him as my guard." I informed him with a smile.

"I should have known you would choose him. You seem to be very close to him, more so than anyone else it seems. Is there anything I should know about?" Aro asked looking down at me with a smirk.

"Father!" I exclaimed pulling out of his embrace. Giving him a stern look I put my hands on my hips. The serious attitude faded seconds after when we burst out laughing. "Father Alec is my friend I do love him but I can't fully love someone yet like I love . . . Edward . . . not yet" My voice faded at the end with the mention of Him.

"Isabella I know how much you still care for him but please try to love again." Aro said bringing me in for another hug but this time for encouragement. I hugged him back around the waist and smiled. Since Charlie died five years ago Aro made sure he was as fatherly as possible. The Volturi brought me here a couple months after he died so I wasn't in the best shape at the time. Alec was sent to check on some newborn vampires in Seattle because they were getting out of hand and growing in numbers. I just happened to be visiting Charlie's grave at the time. Walking back to my truck I noticed how graceful he was walking and remembered the same walk from the Cullens. My suspicions were confirmed when he turned and saw me staring at him. I didn't know who he was or why he was out in the open with so many people but I wasn't going to stay to find out so I crossed the street still headed for my truck. Unfortunately he followed me all the way there without me knowing.

He had me pinned to my truck asking questions about how I knew what he was. I told him about the Cullens and about how they left, why I was here, and then I asked what he was going to do with me. That's when he took me back to Italy with him and let Aro decide what to do. So now here I am in the arms of my adoptive father happy as ever. Maybe I should love again He was gone after all and I doubt I will ever see him again.

"Okay and tell Jane she has to let me see the dress first before she gets out of hand." I said giggling looking up at him with a smile.

"Of course I will always make sure you are comfortable with anything that you're involved with." Aro said returning my smile. "Now you better go or Alec will pace a hole outside the door."

"Alright I'll see you soon." I told him going to the door to join up with Alec. When I opened the door he was there and his head snapped up to look at me. "It's fine Alec it's something good but I can't tell you here let's go back to my room."

"Oh come on tell me what's going on." Alec pleaded like a child.

"No it's top secret I can't tell you out in the open." I teased back. The next thing I know I'm in my room on my bed with Alec in front of me.

"Tell me."

"Well Aro was thinking about my role here and came up with nothing he said I was nothing to the Volturi. So his answer is to properly introduce me to the vampire world with a coronation announcing that I am the Princess of the Volturi. Then I'm going to be turned that night plus I get to pick my escort and guard for the night." I said excitedly.

"Who did you pick for your escort and guard?" He asked smirking knowing very well the answer.

"Demitri." I said plainly.

"What why I thought I was your friend." He said shocked.

"Well he has been with Volturi longer and knows more of the people Aro is going to invite to the ball so it's logical I pick him." I stated trying to hide a smile.

"You little liar I see that smile don't mess with me like that I really felt hurt." He said faking a hurt expression.

"Oh shut up you knew I would pick you you're my best friend Demitri didn't stand a chance in my choice." I said

"Good because I'm very competitive and wouldn't want anyone to get hurt." He said the smile on his face turning into a smirk.

"Well now that you know the news go get your sister we need to pick out my overly big dress." I told a shiver running down my spine.

"Be right back." And he was gone

After Alec left and got Jane I had been forced into dress after dress trying to find the right one for my coronation. In all she had twenty-nine dresses for me to try on. I told her I would think about them and tell her as soon as I made a choice. When I was finally alone I fell down onto my bed exhausted from having to be in dresses larger than me. I slowly fell into a deep dreamless sleep.
