I had lost conscience, hoping to never wake up again. To my disappointment, I wasn't dead. I was outside the airport.

"Hello Bella. Glad you could join us."

I looked into his blood red eyes. I smiled at him, and he then showed confusion in his eyes.

"Do you know the Cullen's family? I was wondering if they were ok."

"I'll tell you all about them, once we get to Italy."

We boarded a plane, and I fell straight asleep from exhaustion. I was having another nightmare, Edward leaving me, and I woke up screaming. The stewardess ran up to me and asked if I was alright.

"I'm fine. Sorry."

We had a couple more connecting flights and after what seemed like days, we were in Italy. I was quickly thrown in a car, and we were away from the airport in seconds.

"So, the Cullens, how are they?"

"Oh, they are fine. That is why we needed you. You see, the Volturi want a couple of them to join, and they seem to think that they don't want to. We're going to be using you to help them make the right decision."

No! This is the only thing that could make me any more depressed. I was going to still be causing Edward trouble, even when he wasn't around me.

"Please no! Just kill me now. Edward doesn't love me anymore anyways."

I tried to sound convincing, but it didn't work.

"Sorry Bella, but Aro has some interest in you and your powers."

What? How did this Aro even know who I was? What power was he talking about?

"Bella, you seemed confused. Let me ask you something before you say anything. Don't you want to become one of our kind. One of Edward's kind. You could be with him forever."

That was what I wanted more than anything in the world before Edward left me. Now, that would be cursing me to being depressed forever.

"Edward doesn't love me anymore. If he did, do you think he would have let you take me. You're just wasting your time."

"You don't seem to understand. Even if this doesn't draw in the couple Aro wants from that odd coven, he still has interest in you. You see, he's heard that Edward's power doesn't work on you, and he wants to see this for himself. I recommend to stop trying to protect Edward, and be quiet."

I didn't talk the rest of the ride. Before I knew it, we had parked and were walking into a magnificent castle. It looked like it was taken right out of a fairytale. I knew it was taken more out of someone's nightmare more than a fairytale. The place would be crawling with vampires.

"All right, let' get going."

We walked into the castle, and to my surprise I saw a human woman at a desk.

"Welcome home."

She didn't seem at all distressed to see the vampires. If I was normal, I would have been scared to death. We were than walking up and down hallways, and after a while we were in what looked like a throne room. There was one older looking vampire sitting in a chair. His skin looked like powder, like if I touched it, it would come right off.

"Welcome Bella! I have heard so much about you! Welcome to my home!"

The old man seemed happy enough, it must have been Aro.

"Come here my dear. Let me touch your hand."

The vampire behind me pushed me forward and barked at me to hold out my hand. Aro grabbed it and closed his eyes. He opened them quickly with shock and awe in his eyes.

"This is magnificent! More than I could bargain for."

"What is it sir? Are you happy with your find?"

"Of course, of course! We are going to change her right away! If someone has a power this strong as a human, I can only imagine how much it will grow as a vampire."

What! No way this is happening. Before I could protest I was being carried off. I was taken into an empty room, where I was quickly joined by Aro. The other vampires left the room, and Aro sank his teeth into my throat. I could feel a fire burning hotter than anything I have ever felt. It was too much to bear, and I passed out.
