Sadly, i do not own these characters...

As I got off the plane and got into a cab, heading towards Volterra, all I could think about was that he left me. I remembered him mentioning the Volturi and how they were like vampire royalty. I was going to be a vampire.

The taxi stopped in front of a huge ancient building. The first floor of the building was quite modern. There were double doors that slid open and there were huge couches that looked like they belonged to the 15th century. I walked up to the front desk expecting to find a vampire but instead, I saw someone who was clearly human.

She looked up and said, "Ciao, benvenuto su Volterra. Come posso aiutarti?"

Well, that kinda resembled Spanish; maybe she would understand spanish. "Hola, ¿puedo ver quien está a cargo aquí?" she looked at me with a confused look.

"perdono?" she asked. Hmm…this is gonna be harder than I thought.

"English?"

"Gianna il suo bene, ho ottenuto questo" I looked to the right and say a beautiful vampire step out of the elevator coming towards us. She was tall, slender, and could easily put Rosalie to shame.

"Hi! Welcome to Volterra. Can I help you with anything?" she turned to me.

"oh umm hi" I stuttered. I didn't know how to explain the situation. I almost said something like 'take me to your leader' but I didn't want to sound like I was an alien trying to take over the human race. Instead, I simply just said "I want to be a vampire"

Her red eyes opened in shock. "come with me" she stated. She turned around and started back towards the elevator. I stumbled over my own feet as I tried to keep up with her. We got in the lift and she pressed the 3 button. We got out and she led me through a maze of hallways and we came to two grand doors. She opened it and walked straight. At the end of the room, there were three chairs that looked more like thrones. A man sat on each of them. On the right, there was a black haired guy whose skin looked like paper. From the pictures in Carlisle's office, I presumed him to be Marcus. He looked like he was incredibly bored. On the left, there was a white haired guy who had the same paper-like skin. Cauis. His expression looked like it was frozen in a scowl. The man in the middle had black hair and had the same delicate skin the others had. Aro. He was smiling like there was no tomorrow.

Around the room, there were other vampires. Most of whom were big in size. There were two who were just walking in from a back door. One boy and one girl. They looked 12.

"heidi!" he exclaimed. He looked over to me and asked, "and who might this be?" he walked up to me and held out his hand.

"I'm Bella" I took his hand and shook it.

"interesting" he muttered. I decided he would either kill me or turn me no matter what I did so I just decided to tell him what I wanted.

"I want to be a vampire" everyone in the room except Heidi, stared at me in shock.

"how do you know..?" said the man.

"my name is Isabella Swan. I'm from a small city called Forks and my boyfr- excuse me, my ex-boyfriend and his family, were vampires."

The man turned around and walked back toward the thrones. He grasped the hands of the other two and looked like he was in deep concentration.

"we have come to a decision" he said "but I suppose you would want to know who we are first..? My name is Aro, and these are my brothers Marcus, and Cauis." He gestured to his sides. "I can read minds Bella, by touching someone, I can see every thought they ever had. You seem to have a shield around your mind. I would very much like it if you let Alec and Jane try their powers on you" I guess I didn't have a choice.

"sure" I said blankly. I waited a while and nothing happened. Aro started laughing.

"wonderful!" he exclaimed. "bella! How would you like to be a part of our guard?"

"I don't mind staying here, but do I have to be a guard? Can I just be like a visitor or something?"

He thought for a moment and a grin spread across his face.

"Isabella. I have been a vampire since the beginning of time. I have always wanted a daughter. Would you let me adopt you as my own daughter, and make you a princess?"

My eyes grew. If I say yes, I would have a family and a home. I would have things like money, clothes, books. This could be fun.

"I would be delighted!!" I didn't think his smile could grow any bigger, but then, it did.

"Fantastic! Come with me, daughter, and I will change you." He held out his hand and led me out the back door and into a room that was freezing cold.

"This will hurt. A lot." He bit me and caught me as I fell from the pain. I felt something below me but I couldn't comprehend what it was. I was too busy trying to scream.
