Chapter One:
Imaginary
Bella's Pov
Hell is where I live. Have you ever thought of that one place you would rather die then be seen apart of? Yeah,that's how I felt everyday for the past 75 years. These cemented,yet well decorated walls,are like a prison to me. I can't escape,no matter how much I want to.
Oh,did I mention I still looked like a young adult? Yes,you heard me. I still looked like I was 17,yet I was probably old enough to be anyone's grandmother. A very OLD grandmother.
My story is pretty short. I was born in 1917 in a tiny town in Virginia. I had a mother and father who loved me dearly. My father enforced law,and my mother taught children. A typical family,right? Wrong. I never thought my well lived life would come so short.
My mother wanted me to go to the store down the road. It was getting dark,but I didn't think anything of it. It was just down the road. No big deal. On the way home,I was grabbed from behind and dragged down an alley. They covered my mouth with their freezing cold hand,making sure I didn't cause attention to be brought to me.
I still remember his blood red eyes boring into my chocolate brown ones. I trembled against his grip,not being able to move. I felt his cold breath on my cheek,as he chuckled lowly. His voice was rough,yet smooth. "My,my...You are a pretty thing,are you not? I wonder how you taste...." When he spoke those words,I thought right then and there that I was going to die.
"L...Leave me alone..."I managed to say through his hand,and after a few tries of trying to sound tough. I knew I failed when he gave a loud laugh that echoed through the alley way. He moved his hand to around my throat and squeezed slightly.
"Now why would I do that?"He asked,whispering against my ear. I felt his cold tongue graze my cheek. Why was he so cold? And his eyes...
I couldn't answer him. I didn't have time to. He ripped my shirt open and peered down at my body. He gazed at me with hungry eyes,like an animal stalking its prey. He ran his hands up the sides of my waist,as he grazed his nose on the crook of my neck. He was sniffing me....?
"Bella,Bella,Bella...."He whispered, "What am I going to do with you?You have to start obeying me now,while you still have a chance..." I didn't want to know how he knew my name.
My heart was pounding against my rib cage,so loud,I was sure people from down the block could hear it. I hoped they heard it. But of course,my hopes were crushed like a fly. My heart stopped when his hands rested on my breasts. He gave a low chuckle.
"This will only hurt for...."He paused. "Three days." Before I could open my mouth to scream again,he clamped his mouth around my shoulder. I tensed before screaming at the top of my lungs.
The pain shot through my shoulder,starting from my head and slowly making its way to my toes. I don't remember much after that. All I know was that I was turned into a vampire,and was found by Aro.
The Volturi is my image of hell. Since I wondered here on accident,they have made me serve them. Once Aro figured out what my ability was,he made certain I stayed close to him for sure. I want out. I would rather burn to death then to continue the existence I'm on.
I never figured out who turned me into this blood thirsty monster. He left me,I guessed. I never saw my mother or father again. Or at least,I don't think I did anyways. I would do anything to get away from them....

"Bella." My gaze lifted from my journal,to meet the eyes of my companion,Jane. Jane was a young girl,by my standards,with blazing red eyes and blonde hair that was always in a neat bun. She was Aro's pet,like I. Only difference,was she was his pet by choice.
I closed my brown journal,and sat it on my bedside table. "Yes,Jane?" Even though we disliked one another,we always were polite. Her ability didn't affect me,and I think that changes how she looks at me. I'm a threat to her. My shield could expand around those around me,and I could take the power of another and use it against them for only a short amount of time.
Jane walked in with her black robe trailing behind her. "Aro wishes to see you." I nodded,and grabbed the black robe that matched Jane's. I slipped it on over my deep red mid-thigh dress,and followed her out of my quarters. Its ironic really. We don't sleep,yet we still have beds in our chambers.
Usually,when Aro wishes to speak to me,he has an assignment for me. Since I can take anyone's power and posses it as my own,he has me execute vampires who break the law. Its a sickening job. But,only an idiot would deny a calling from Aro. Aro was God in the world we lived in.
Jane followed behind me as we walked the hallways of the building. I couldn't exactly call this place a home. It was a prison,keeping who wants out,in. Jane stopped following when we past the receptionist desk,with Gianna filing away papers.
"Good morning Miss. Volturi. Aro is waiting for you in the conference room." Gianna smiled kindly to me,and went back to her papers. She was the only human I knew who knew about vampires,and lived. Gianna and I got along well. We were somewhat friends. I would bring her something special like coffee at least once a week,and she would let me borrow any book on her shelf in return.
I groaned when she called me a Volturi. That was NOT my last name. Gianna knew it better then anyone. She only called me Volturi in front of Jane and the other Guard members. I waved slightly as I walked by her desk,and opened the big doubled doors slowly. On the other side of the door,Aro sat with his brothers on either side of him.
"Ah,Bella my dear." Aro stood up as he greeted me. "Please,come in. I wish to speak to you." He motioned to the spot in front of him. I held my head high as I approached him. When I came to a stop,only two feet away from him,he continued his explanation. "I have another assignment for you,dearest daughter." I wanted to yack. "There is a coven I wish for you to keep an eye on. They're known as the Cullen's. They are probably the largest 'Family' out there."
This intrigued me. Aro barely called covens family. "How many members are there in this coven?" I asked,locking my hands together by my waist.
"There are seven in all. A pretty large number by our normal standards." Aro placed his hand on my shoulder and smiled. "Carlisle,who is the leader of this coven,is a very close acquaintance. He and I have history. But every couple of years I send someone to check up on them and make sure they are not planning an uprising."
Uprising was well known to happen to the Volturi. If someone doesn't like what was going on,someone would try and stop the Volturi at all costs. But,nobody succeeded. They were always stopped.
"Why are you sending me?" I couldn't help but ask. "Are they dangerous? Are they a threat to the Volturi?"
Aro chuckled. "My dearest Bella,many questions for such a small mind." My eyes narrowed slightly. "They are vegetarian vampires,meaning-"
"They feed on animals. That,I am aware of." I sighed and nodded. "Alright,Ill leave by nightfall. Ill ask Gianna for the assignment papers." I turned to leave,but Aro's hand held me firmly.
"Bella,I wish to let you know that you are a valuable member of this Guard. When you get back,I would like you to rule by my side,as my daughter." I froze in place. He was asking me permission to be his daughter. What does one say to that?
I was a tool to them all. I could be burned alive tomorrow and they wouldn't even give me a funeral. I forced a smile on my face and turned to Aro. "I would really appreciate that,Aro. Its an honor." He released my shoulder and let me exit the room.
I grabbed the papers off of Gianna's desk in silence,and went to my room. Jane was probably with Alec,terrorizing some lost soul in the pits of the dungeon. Jane wouldn't be happy to hear about Aro's request. She was more Aro's daughter then I was. She's been here longer and was more loyal.
My ability helped me to keep Aro away from my mind. And for that,I was grateful. I grabbed a bag from under my bed,and packed my journal,and some clothes. I had a credit card,so money was not an issue. I picked up my blue Ferrari keys,and headed out the door.
And so,my journey to Forks,Washington began. I only hoped I didn't have to return anytime soon. I was not looking forward to being Aro's daughter.
I hoped you like it. There will be more coming soon. This is my second fanfiction,and I got this idea one day sitting in my English class. Well,reviews make me smile!
