WHAT YOU'VE DONE

"What have you done?" Wailed a vampire at the sight before him. His milky onyx eyes clouding over in venom that would never tear across his face again. He sank to the floor, his knees unable to bear his sadness.
Before him sat the three kings of his world.
And the one girl who was his world.
Aro chuckled.
Caius smirked.
Marcus smiled.
Bella did nothing. Her red eyes were lifeless as her head rested upon Aro's lap, her left hand in Caius' right. She was a vampire. She was a doll.
"We have done nothing, Cullens." Sneered Caius.
"We should be asking you what you have done." Aro said. "Shouldn't we brothers?"
"Indeed." Marcus said.
"Look at her and tell me you have done nothing!" Alice screamed. "You have drained her of her life!"
"Ah. That is what we speak of." Aro mused.
"If that is the case, Cullen, then you are wrong." Caius told her and her family.
"We did not drain Bella of her life." Marcus said in a soothing tone. "We gave it back, after he stole it." He pointed at Edward.
"Enlighten me, please." Carlisle asked with pained eyes.
Aro smiled, laying a hand on Bella's cheek. She closed her eyes, smiling. A contented sigh reached the ears of her once-family.
"I went to Forks. I found her in a near comatose state." Aro said. "I believe it was after you all left her. She was dying."
"How can you say that! I left so that she would be safe!" Edward screeched.
Suddenly Bella's eyes snapped opened and she whimpered.
"Shh, shh, it's all right, Bella." Marcus soothed as he tucked her hair behind her ear. He turned back to Edward, his gaze shooting daggers. "Do not upset her. You would not like the result." His gaze went back to Bella, and he stroked her cheek absent-mindedly.
"Get your hand off of my best friend!"Alice screeched as she leapt.
Before anyone could react, Alice was on the ground.
Gazes and stares went towards Alec and Jane but they themselves were staring at Bell, who was now sitting with her hands over her ears, whimpering surrounded by the three Volturi leaders.
"What… what was that?" Alice asked as she recovered slowly.
"Shh, shh, Bella. It's okay. It's all right." They all cooed, like they were consoling a child.
"Aro." Carlisle asked.
"What?" Aro spat turning to stand and glare at the Cullen leader.
"Please, tell us what happened. Tell us why she is here, tell us what just happened. I want to know." Carlisle pleaded.
Marcus looked up from the slowly calming girl. "You do not wish to know Carlisle. What happened was a very unfort-"
He was silenced by a pale hand on his lips.
"What is it Bella?" Caius asked.
"Tell them." She said simply curling up in Marcus' lap.
Aro looked from the Cullens back to Bella. "Are you sure?" He asked.
Bella nodded, curling in further to Marcus.
"Very well. But it will not be an easy thing for you to stomach, Cullens. You should be ashamed at what you have done, for it is what brought her to us, and what made her seek out death instead of living the life you told her to…
Fina Della Vita
He was gone.
The reason she lived was gone.
Her star, her sun, her Adonis, had vanished.
To her life was blind, life was cruel.
Life wasn't worth living.
So she sat, unspoken cries mingling with tears and silent screams.
For many months after he had vanished, she had sat, barely eating, barely speaking. Brokenhearted and lifeless.
She wanted to die.
Aro went to Forks, after hearing reports of a human who knew about their kind. Of a vampire who was infatuated with the human. He did not expect to find what he did.
"They have not been here for quite some time, master." Jane said as they wandered the Cullen's old home.
"Why would they leave?" Aro pondered aloud.
"There is a trail that leads towards human homes. Shall we follow it?" Jane asked, knowing that his question wasn't meant to be answered.
"We might, but I doubt that the human is there." Aro told her.
With a swish of their long black cloaks they found themselves soon outside the Swan home. Bella's pickup in the driveway and Charlie's cruiser gone.
Aro peered into Bella's window, and upon seeing her let out and audible gasp.
Bella sat looking out the window. Her eyes drawn and lifeless, the dark circles underneath far pronounced against her pale skin.
"Jane." He said, calling her attention.
Jane looked up at the girl that stared out the window. "Do you think that that is her?"
"It was said that she loved him." Aro said. "That they left and left her here says something, and the fact that she is almost lifeless… shows how much she did love him." H said out loud.
Suddenly, the haunted face in the window was gone.
"Jane, get us inside." Aro said. He had a bad feeling about this.
