So here is my first VQ outtake, it's a Marcus POV. This is also the piece I wrote for Fandom Gives Back. it's owned by the lovely and amazing SusanAshlea.

Life with my brothers was getting tiring, now and again something major happens which is brought to our immediate attention, otherwise our lives were very dull. At least Caius and Aro had got their wives to keep them occupied. While me? I have nothing. No one. Didyme was murdered over a thousand years ago.

My brothers were adamant that they had nothing to do with it. But, I always had a feeling that they had something major to do with the death of my mate. Life had been very dull ever since. She was my light, my air.

My thoughts were rudely interrupted by Jane, a member of the guard. She ran into the room at full speed and stopped in front of myself and my brothers. Aro and Caius were seated beside me and looked at Jane with so much loathing. I knew the truth, though, they both had soft spots for her and thought of her as their daughter. The lines proved that. My power, or gift as some vampires like to think of it as, is seeing the bonds between people.

Jane started talking so fast that I had trouble understanding what she said. It sounded like a load of waffle.

Aro cut in and asked her, "What are you saying, Jane?"

She slowed down dramatically, before telling us once more. "Masters, I have urgent news from the scouts out in America. Its about the Cullens. They have got a pet."

My brothers and I looked at each other. They had a pet.

"As in an animal?" Aro asked, wanting to know what she means. A pet is either one of two things. An animal... or a human.

"No, Master Aro. A human." Jane spoke the dreaded words. They had violated our laws. If Jane was using the word pet then she knew the secret. The law stated that if a human knew of our existence then they must either be turned into a vampire or be killed.

"Does she know?" I asked; we needed to know if she knew the secret. If she did then a major problem had occurred, and it would need to be dealt with immediately.

"I believe so." That was all the information we needed. The room was full of vampires shouting saying how we need to punish the Cullens and kill the girl.

Aro stood up and bellowed. The room fell silent.

"My brothers and I will talk about this in private, and the situation willbe dealt with. Go back to your duties." Everyone left the room, and the door closed the second the last member of the guard was out.

Aro got up off his throne and started pacing.

"The Cullens. I can't believe Carlisle would do this! Such a violation of the law. We have to do something, but what?" It sounded more like he was talking to himself.

Caius butted in, "We need to destroy them. They had no consideration of our kind, and that should be dealt with. I think death is the only solution."

I rolled my eyes at his suggestion and made one of my own.

"Why don't we go and see them, find out more about the situation before killing them." Aro looked up at me with surprise in my eyes. I usually kept out of such matters, but I thought it was time I started acting like a king of the vampires, I had enough of wallowing, and living in the past. After a few moments, he nodded and the decision was made.

We're going to Forks.

The preparation for our trip to Forks took a week. We had flights to book, and arguments over who was coming with us. In the end, it was decided. Seven of us were going. Caius, Aro, Jane, Demetri, Felix and Alec were accompanying me.

Originally, it was going to be my brothers and I, but there were arguments over our safety. With the vampire wars in the south, there was no telling what would happen without any of the guard with us.

We knew about the wars, but we didn't know who the creators were, and the vampires we got rid of didn't tell us anything we needed to know. Of course, we had ideas, but they weren't solid enough to act on them.

So, it was decided; the seven of us would go to Forks.

Getting to Forks was interesting. For starters, the plane was late; why we didn't use the Volturi Plane, I don't know. But it was what Aro had wanted, so Caius and I gave into our brother's strange request. The stop-overs were a nightmare, too many humans and Alec hadn't hunted well before we left. So we had to calm him down often.

But once we got to Forks, things seemed to settle down dramatically. We arrived at the Cullen house to find it completely vacant. We took a look round, and quite a few of their belongings had been left behind. There was also a human scent. The spies had done well. It was the most mouthwatering scent I had ever smelt. It reminded me of flowers and honey.

We all agreed to see if we could track the scent, and with Demetri with us, it should be no problem at all- he is a tracker. He found the scent we were looking for immediately and rushed towards it. We all followed him. It took us to the other side of the forest and into an inhabited area. We passed a sign for Forks High School. We stopped outside of it, realised that this was the place where the girl was at.

We didn't want to go bounding into a school, so we decided to wait for a while before pouncing. Demetri told us that he could sense her from somewhere else in the small town as well, so we went there to wait for her. It brought us to a little house within the town. Jane found a key in a flowerpot, and I scoffed at how trusting humans can be.

She used the key, and we all entered the house. It was very simple, with pale yellow kitchen cupboards that looked like they hadn't been touched in many years. Aro, Caius and I settled ourselves on the sofa that were in the living room, and Alec, Jane, Felix and Demetri stood and investigated the house.

We learnt that the girl's name was Isabella Swan, and that she had recently turned eighteen. Her father was the chief of police and had the name of Charles "Charlie" Swan. Her mother was in Jacksonville, Florida with her new husband, Phil Dwyer. We found no evidence of Isabella knowing the Cullens within the house, and I wondered if we were in the right place. That was until Jane found something under some loose floorboards in Isabella's bedroom. She called us, and we all met her in the room. She was holding up pictures, tickets and a CD. We looked at the photograph. It showed her with Edward Cullen. We knew from that moment that we had the right house. From the picture, I could see that she was beautiful. Her long mahogany hair; her doe-like eyes, her figure and that smile. She really was perfection.

My thoughts troubled me. I hadn't been so attracted to someone since Didyme; it felt wrong, like I was tainting her memory. Nevertheless, if Isabella was this beautiful in a picture, I wondered how she would look in the flesh.

I noticed that she had a clock on her table. It read 2:30pm. We knew that we had roughly half an hour before Isabella came home. Felix had done his homework. So, we all walked downstairs to the living room to wait. Aro, Caius and I sat on the sofa, and the others stood around the room. We all put our hoods up; Aro's orders, maybe he wanted to scare the girl. Once they were up no one said anything; we were completely still.

In no time at all, we heard a loud truck make its way down the road before stopping. The door opened, and a heart beat was heard. We heard keys be put down on the kitchen counter, carefully, like we weren't supposed to hear. The human, crept along the hallway before opening the door. Aro, Caius and I rose off the sofa.

"Ah. Isabella Swan, I presume," Aro said.

"Yes. I am Bella," she corrected, her voice shaking in fear.

"Oh, good. We've been looking forward to meeting you, Miss Swan, for some time." With that, we all took our hoods off and Isabella gasped loudly, her heart pounding quickly. She knew who we were.

"I've seen you... in a painting," she whispered, apparently forgetting that we could hear her.

"Painting? What painting?" Aro asked.

"There's a painting of you three hanging in Carlisle's office," she told us, her voice quiet showing she was still scared.

"Yes, we are the Volturi," Aro said.

She gasped again, but this time it sounded like it was in recognition.

"Ah, you have been fully informed of the supernatural world, haven't you?" Aro said.

"Hm, yeah, I guess..." she said.

"So do you want to know why we are here?" he asked.

"That would be nice,"she replied politely. Her heart was still beating madly against her chest.

"We want to see the Cullens." I rolled my eyes at the most insensitive thing Aro had ever said. I could see the pain that she was in, and hearing the Cullens name, made her drop to her knees and start sobbing hysterically. Aro rushed over and picked her up before returning to his seat on the sofa, Isabella still in his arms. He rocked her gently until she stopped crying.

"What have they done to you, dear Isabella?" he asked quietly.

"They… left…" she managed gasp out, and my heart broke for the girl in Aro's arms.

"What do you mean 'they left'?" he asked, anger showing in his voice. What Isabella told him made our dead hearts break all over again.

"Exactly that. It was my birthday on September 13th. I turned 18, so they made me go to their house for a party. I got a paper cut, Jasper snapped at me. Edward managed to throw him away, but accidentally threw me into the glass table. A couple of days later Edward was acting really funny with me, I just threw it off thinking it was because he needed to hunt, that it was somebody's thoughts that had got to him, but then he asked me to go for a walk him. I did, and we walked a little into the forest. He told me they were leaving, that he didn't want me, that I was just a distraction and that he will never see me again." As she spoke, her sobs returned and she hiccuped throughout.

Aro blurted out the last thing I ever expected him to say,"Do you want to live with us in Volterra?"

Everyone gasped and looked at him. Isabella looked like she was contemplating the offer before asking, "Really?"

"Yes," Aro answered, his voice showed that he was positive in his choice.

"What about Charlie, Renee and Phil?" she inquired.

"We tell them the truth." That shocked me even more, he wanted us to break the one rule we always stood to make sure wasn't broken.

"You know, Charlie's not going to react well to the truth. He already wants to murder Edward for doing what he's done. I shudder to think he'll do, let alone what he'll want to do when he finds out he's a vampire."

"Then we'll just have to wait and see," Aro said.

We arranged with Isabella, I mean Bella, when would be the best time to tell her parents, and she told us of the days that her mother and step-father were due for a visit. They had been worried with Bella's state of mind ever since the Cullens left Forks. We left shortly after as Bella wanted to start making dinner for her father and herself.

We found our way to a hotel in Seattle, before having a meeting of our own.

"Why did you invite her to Volterra?" I asked Aro.

"I can't explain it, brother. It's like it is something I have to do. You saw how the mention of the Cullens affected her. This is serious, we have to look after her. It's the only way we can make sure that the Cullens don't return to hurt her even more," he answered, the compassion in his voice was clear.

"But we're breaking our own rules for this human," Jane said, she had stayed quiet throughout the meeting and obviously wanted to make her own opinions heard.

"That may be so, Jane. But, there is just something about her that makes me want to care for her," Caius said. Which was a shock to begin with, because he never really agreed with anything we said.

In the end, it was decided that we would take Bella back to Volterra with us. We would treat her like a daughter, and make sure that if the Cullens did ever enter her life again, we would make sure that it would be the last thing they did.
