a/n: Hey guys first fanfic ever! Hope you like it. I'll try to update ASAP but no promises. I have a couple chapters done already but I'm editing with my beta so patience please! Hope you enjoy my story! I also just want to apologize for the grammar errors ahead of time. I stink at grammar.
Chapter 1
"You promised! In Phoenix, you promised you would stay-"
"As long as that was best for you." he finished my sentence.
"No! This is about my soul, isn't it? You can have my soul. I don't want it without you- it's yours already!" I shouted at him, a few broken sobs escaping my chest.
"It'll be as if I never existed. Goodbye Bella" he said kissing my forehead "be safe."
Then I looked up and I was alone. I looked around not seeing any clue as too witch way he went and instead of doing the smart thing and going home, I started running deeper into the woods, calling his name and searching in vain.
I tripped over a tree root but was caught before I hit the ground. I looked up into a pair of crimson eyes.
"Hello Isabella. We couldn't help but over hear your little spat with young Mr. Cullen ,"I winced "and we were wondering what happened."
"He's gone." was all I could choke out. My curiosity seemed to get the best of me and I asked "Who are you?"
"I am Aro Volturi and these gentlemen here are my brothers, Marcus and Caius Volturi. I'm sure you've probably heard of us seeing that you've spent so much time in the Cullen's house, your scent was so potent there."I just nodded. He told me about them. He said they were like the closest thing that their kind has to royalty, that they are like vampire police, trying to make sure that everyone follows the rules. "We just went to visit dear Carlisle to find that his house is empty." Then he grabbed my hand inhaled deeply.
"What are you doing?" I asked politely, not wanting to anger this vampire.
"Don't be so hesitant to ask us things dear, we don't bite out of anger. And as for your answer, I can read minds by the touch of the hand but with you, I can't get a single read."
"He couldn't read my mind either."I whispered softly.
"Who couldn't, dear?" Aro asked kindly.
"The one from earlier." I said, avoiding saying his name.
"Ah, I see, you mean young Mr. Cullen. Well, do you know what this means brothers?"He said turning to Marcus and Caius. Marcus and Caius just nodded. Aro turned back to me, "You see Isabella," Aro started but I cut him off.
"Please call me Bella." I asked politely.
"Of course" he said, an amused smile stretching across his face. "Bella, you see we believe that you will have extraordinary gifts as an immortal. We- " He was suddenly cut off by Caius.
"Aro, you always change them anyways, so what's the point of even asking if they want to join the guard." He said. Aro just gave a stabbing look. I swear, if looks could kill.
Then Marcus spoke up, "Oh, don't give him that look Aro , you know that it's true."
" I was only going to ask Bella if there were any possessions that she would like to take from her house before we take her to Volterra." Aro said.
I just nodded and started to my house and then I realizd that I had no idea where I was going. I turned around to face the Volturi brothers. "Aro, I don't know where I'm going." I admitted quietly.
"I'll lead the way, Bella." He told me. I nodded and followed Aro out of the woods.
It turned out that we were a lot closer to my house than I thought. We were walking for only fifteen minutes when we were back on the trail and my house was in sight.
I turned to Aro, "Could you wait here? I have something private to take care of."I asked.
"Of course, Bella. No problem." He replied.
I walked back to my house in a daze. I grabbed the key from under the eave and unlocked the door. I walked sluggishly to my bedroom. I walked to my desk where I left the scrapbook that my mom gave me for my birthday. I didn't bother with the book, I just took the pictures of him, my dad and all the other ones.
I tore a paper out of my note book and wrote a note to Charlie in my clumsy scrawl. It read:
Dear dad,
I'm going to leave. Don't follow me. I need time alone. I won't be able to handle Forks after the day's events. It will be too hard on me with the constant reminders. I'll try to visit you when I can but I can't promise. I love you dad. Hope to see you soon.
-Bella.
I grabbed the CD that he made me with all of his compositions on it before I left my room. I put the note on the fridge on my way out of the house.
I silently made my way over to Aro. "Bella, my brothers and I were wondering if you want your transformation here or in Italy?"Aro asked.
"It doesn't matter." I told him. "Witch ever you prefer."
"We were thinking that it would be best if you were changed here that way we can transport you easily to Italy. Instead of having to carry you, you could swim along side us." I just nodded. "Is there any specific place?"He asked.
I nodded and said "Follow me." I told him. I led him to mine and Edward's meadow. I stepped into the clearing and took a look around. The green grass was just as green as the first day he brought me here and the flowers just as vibrant and beautiful. I don't know why I was so surprised. I guess I thought that the beauty would die when he left.
"Is this where you want to be changed?" Aro asked. I just nodded. "Okay. Let's get on with it then."
Aro came closer and closed his teeth around my neck.
Alice told me that the transformation was painful but I expected nothing like this.
The burning was so in tense that I felt like I was bursting into flames. I could feel the fire burning through my veins, turning me into a pile of ashes. I couldn't see anything, only blackness. Blackness, taking over my senses, pushing down on me and threatening to take over. I couldn't hold up the blackness, I could only resist. The only thing I could feel was the burning. How long had I been burning? The heat started to leave my fingertips but5 got hotter in my heart. The frie was slowly retreating from my limbs but getting hotter and hotter in my heart. Soon the fire was gone everywhere but my heart. It was so hot! My heart rate was increasing and my senses were getting sharper. The only thing that kept me from letting the blackness take over me was the knowledge that it was almost done . then my heart stuttered its final beat and I opened my eyes to a whole new world.
