I handed the woman behind the counter $1000. She handed me my ticket. I took it and walked off to find my terminal. "7:00 o'clock flight to Volterra, Italy now boarding." The voice sounded over the sound system. I grabbed my bag and I walked onto the plane. I sat down and put my ear buds in. I turned it on to Ignorance by Paramore on. I loved there music. I wish I could be a kickass person but I guess that's just not Bella. I sat, looking out the window at the drifting clouds and my eyes slowly slid closed as I drifted of to sleep.
"Please fasten your seatbelts as we are about to land" The flight attendant said in English. "Allacciate le cinture di sicurezza, come stiamo per terra" She said in Italian. I clicked my seatbelt in and we started to land. I felt a almost nonexistent bump as the plane hit the runway when we landed. I grabbed my backpack and my purse. I briefly wondered about the Cullen's. No Bella you will not think about them! I thought to myself. I walked off the plane into the airport. I had no luggage so I walked outside. I hailed a taxi quickly surprisingly enough. I got in and told him to take me to the Volturi Castle. Ten minutes later we pulled up in front of the gates. Thank you I told him as I handed the driver twenty euros. I walked into the castle and up to Gianna's desk. I walked up to her. "Hello Gianna could you please tell Aro that Bella Swan is waiting for him please?" I asked her. "Yes Miss Swan." She turned around and picked up the phone. While she was talking I took a chance and looked around the room. The floors were black and white marble tile, The walls were painted a deep red and Gianna's desk was made out of black wood. I was broken out of my thoughts when I heard my name being called. I looked and next to me was Felix. "Hey sweet thang long time no see. Why haven't you come to visit me?" He said raising an eyebrow. "Hey Felix, I'm here now so no more whining." I said with a faint smile. "Come on darling Aro does not like to be kept waiting." he said. He took my hand and led me down the hallway. My steps echoed around the dimly lit hallway. There were portraits of Aro, Caius, And Marcus with their mates hanging on the walls. We stopped in front of black wood doors with gold handles. Felix grasped the handle while I took a deep breath. He pushed it open. Placing his hand on my lower back he led us in. I looked around, It looked just as I remembered it. The floors were made of black and white tile and the walls were dark gray stone, there were three stone steps that led up to the three brothers. There they were sitting in all of their beauty. Around the room stood all the guard against the walls. The guard was massive made up of about 100 vampires. "Dear Isabella, What makes you come back into our lovely home?" Aro said making wide hand gestures. "And where is your dear Edward? I thought you both were glued at the hip and what not?" He said still doing the sweeping hand motions. "Me and Edward are through, We are not together nor will we ever be again." I said sternly. "Oh well now why is that?" he asked a genuine look of concern crossed his face. It was very hard to believe this caring man could have murdered thousands of people. "He cheated on me with Tanya Denali a month after we left here." I told him sadly. "Oh my dear I am so very sorry but why did you come here not that its not a pleasant surprise?" he asked. "I would like you to change me and let me join the guard." I said seriously. "Really! This is such a pleasant surprise, of course I will change you and yes you may join the guard you will be a great addition." He said clapping his hands together. "When would you like to be changed my darling Isabella?" He asked me. "As soon as possible please." I said in a pleasant tone. "It will be done tomorrow at 9:00 am so I will have Alec show you to your room." he said "Alec you please," he said gesturing to a figure in the shadows. He stepped out of the shadows. He was the most beautiful man that I have ever seen in my life. He looked like he just stepped off of the cover of GQ. His hair was brown and side swept, his eyes were a shining bright red and his skin was ghostly pale. He was amazing. It looked like he glowed. He reached out a hand, "Hi I'm Alec"
