Chapter 2
(Bella POV)
The plane ride was really long. I slept most of the time. The rest of the time I listened to my iPod. I'm itching to write a song. I look into my carry on and find pencil and paper and start writing.
"Outside Looking In"
You don't know my name
you don't know anything about me
I try to play nice
I want to be in your game
The things that you say
You may think I never hear about them
But word travels fast
I'm telling you to your face
I'm standing here behind your back
[Chorus:]
You don't know how it feels
To be outside the crowd
You don't know what it's like
To be left out
And you don't know how it feels
To be your own best friend on the outside looking in
If you could read my mind
You might see more of me than meets the eye
And you've been all wrong
Not who you think I am
You've never given me a chance
[Chorus:]
You don't know how it feels
To be outside the crowd
You don't know what it's like
To be left out
And you don't know how it feels
To be your own best friend on the outside looking in
Well, I'm tired of staying at home
I'm bored and all alone
I'm sick of wasting all my time
[Chorus (x2):]
You don't know how it feels
To be outside the crowd
You don't know what it's like
To be left out
And you don't know how it feels
To be your own best friend on the outside looking in
You don't know how it feels
To be outside the crowd
You don't know what it's like
To be left out
And you don't know how it feels
To be your own best friend on the outside looking in
Wow it felt so good to get that out. I can't wait to get to school and put some music to it. The plane finally lands and I get up. I quickly exit the plane and grab my luggage. Charlie gave me money to catch a cab to the school. Good thing Charlie taught Emmett and I Italian, because everything here is written in it. I'm full Italian. Charlie meet Renee over here, but they both moved to America when they graduated high school. We've never been back over here. I walk out of the airport and into the streets. There is a taxi sign down the street, so I start walking. My surroundings are so beautiful. The bright sun, the people, the streets are bustling. As I walk I feel watched. When I pass an alley something grabs me and pulls me in. They put their hand over my mouth so that I can't scream. Their hands or so cold. I try kicking and biting, but their skin is so hard. I try to wiggle my way out, but they are too strong. I look up and notice that they have bright ruby red eyes. That is so not a human. What exactly is going on in Italy. The thing comes and puts it icy cold pale hand on my face and strokes my cheek.
"È l'odore assolutamente divina, Devo avere"
What the hell does he mean by that. Now I'm getting creeped out. "Wwwhat are you." I said stuttering.
"Ahh my dear I'm a creature of the night a vampire. You smell so good I need you now. Don't worry little one this will be over quickly." he said then goes for my throat.
I close my eyes and think about my family. I love you Emmett and Charlie be safe. I wait to feel his teeth at my neck, but it never happens. I open my eyes and notice two cloaked figures behind the man. They quickly snap his neck and set his body alight. I stand there gaping at them.
"Oh dear, It looks like the human saw Alec." said a cloaked figure.
"You're right Jane. We need to take her to Aro and see what he wants to do with her." said Alec.
"Hi. My name is Jane and this is my twin brother Alec. We are apart of the Volture, because of what you witnessed you will need to come with us. When we get to where we are going your fate will be decided. Again I'm sorry for this. We thought you were passed out. My brother will carry you to where we are going." said Jane
I slowly nodded my head and walked over to Alec. I looked into his eyes and my heart melted. Even though they were ruby red, I wasn't afraid. I was so distracted by his eyes that I didn't notice him holding his hand out to me. I blushed and grabbed it. He helped me on his back and helped me adjust.
"Wait, I need my suitcases" I said
"I'll get them" said Jane. Then we were off.
We went through so many alleys and secret passageways. It felt like I was flying being on Alec's back. It felt nice, even if he was a little cold. We arrived to some gates, and I saw several other people. I guess they were vampires. They started talking to Jane and Alec.
"What do we have here" a very gorgeous lady asked.
"She witnessed us killing that rouge vampire. Aro needs to decide what to do with her. Where is he at?" said Alec.
"Him and the brothers are in the throne room. We all just got done feeding." said a big burly man.
"Alright thanks." said Alec.
He kept me on his back, but we didn't run. He slowed down to a very brisk walk. We went through a ton of corridors, and finally came to some big ornate doors. Alec knocks on the doors and sits me down. He looks into my eyes and starts rapidly telling me stuff.
"When we go in there don't talk unless talked to. He's usually a nice guy. You just don't want to piss him off. He may spare you, and let you work here. That is what you should hope for. Again we're sorry for putting you into this situation."
"Come in." said a booming voice from the other side of the door.
We enter and I see there people sitting on thrones. They all look dirt old. Their skin is pasty, and their whole presence demands authority.
"Ahh, Jane and Alec welcome back, and what do we have here." said the man sitting in the middle.
"This girl was in the alley when we killed the rogue. We thought she was passed out but we were wrong. We're very sorry Aro" said Jane in a remorseful tone.
"Come and let me see dear one" said Aro
He took her hand and his eyes glassed over. When he came to he was staring at me intently.
"You child come here" Aro said in a voice that left no questions.
I walked as quickly as I could over to him. He took my hand and gasped.
"This can't be" he said in a shocked tone
"What's wrong brother" said the one with blondish hair.
"I Can't read her mind. This has never happened before" Aro said
"That's impossible" said the blonde one
"Caius, Do you think I would lie about something like this?" Aro hissed out
"Sorry brother, but this has never been heard of before" Caius said
Aro just nodded his head. He seemed to be deep in thought. He looked up at me, and his eyes were dancing.
"Dear child please tell me your name." He said
"Isabella Swan" I said in a shaky voice.
"Ahh what a beautiful name for a beautiful person" he said in a voice of awe.
Me beautiful what a joke. I'm geeky, have pimples, overweight, have greasy hair, and have huge glasses that cover my face. I'm anything but beautiful. I scoff.
"Do you think I'm wrong child." he asked in a questioning tone.
"No disrespect sir, but I'm anything but beautiful. I'm ugly." I said
"Now dear child how has told you this" he said.
At this I launch into my life story. How my mom died giving birth to me and Emmett. How my dad struggled with raising two twins by himself on a small town chief police salary, and while doing this he still had to mourn over losing his wife. About how I was friends with Edward and his gang in Elementary school. Then I told him everything that happened in middle school. When I got to the part about Edward and his gang cutting me, the whole throne room started to growl and hiss. I told them about how I wouldn't tell my family. Then I told them about how I got sent to a boarding school here, and how this was supposed to be my new start. Then I showed them the scars on my face. My hair usually covers it but once I moved it the whole thrown room went up in growls again. There was one angered roar. I looked up and noticed that it came from Alec. I finished with how I came here. Then I started crying and begging them not to kill me.
(Aro POV)
At first when Alec and Jane brought her in here I was ready to kill her. After I found out that she was immune to my power I became more interested. Then she launched into this gut wrenching story about how she ended up here. I couldn't help but feel sorry for this poor girl. Having to go through so much. When she told us about how those kids cut her the whole room went up in a roar. I don't know how but through this story she has captured everyone's heart. When she showed us her scars. There was another huge uproar. They were nasty and very puckered. They would go away, but I was angry that they were there in the first place. The loudest one of us all was Alec. I'll have to talk to Marcus about that. By time she ended her story she was crying and begging me not to kill her. How could I kill her now. People may think the Voluri are vile soulless creatures, but we can be very caring. We have to appear scary to the vampires that way they don't try to break laws, but when we are home we are a huge family. I'm not killing her. She wanted to come here for a new start well we'll give her one.
"Hush hush little one. It's going to be ok. You're going to live here, and we're going to make sure that you have the best life possible. You will be like my daughter. We'll tutor you in school, and make sure you have your education." I said to her.
"What about my father and brother. They sent me to boarding school. The school is going to call and say I never arrived." she said in a worried voice
I quickly thought of a solution. "We'll say that you got accepted to a more prestige school. We'll make sure we get all the documents to make this seem like a school. Don't worry about your other school, we'll deal with it. You're safe now. You're never going to be bullied again." I told her.
" Grazie" she whispered to me and fell asleep on my lap.
"Alec, Jane since you guys found her prepare her a room. Take her bags with you. Look through them and see what she needs. Heidi you will go get what she needs. Demetri and Felix you will go shopping for human food. Alec I want you to go set up an account for her. Reneta I want you to start making lesson plans for her. She needs to be educated. I want her in regular lesson plans, plus mythical creature lesson plans. When she graduates high school we will change her, and she will be princess of Voltura. She needs to know all about Mythical creatures. We will tell the wives that we have a new house guest. When she wakes up we will go from there. She will be in my chambers until you finish her room. Let's go people." I said. They all disperse. I decide now is a good time to ask Marcus about little Isabella's ties with Alec.
"I thought you would be asking me that soon dear brother. Seems like we may have a little bit of love in the air. It seems like there will be a bit of trouble though. I think our Alec is going to fight it, but in the end it won't work. They are true mates. Their bond is one of the strongest and purest I've seen." Marcus said with a sigh
"Well that's good. At least I know she will be in good hands. Still though I think I will have to have a talk with Alec when they get together. Wouldn't want anyone hurting my daughter. Right brothers." I said
"Of course Aro, we have to make sure no one messes with our niece. We'll have to scare him a little bit." Caius cackled.
This day has gone better than planned. We killed a rogue that has been disrupting the peace. A little girl came in and warmed everyone's heart, and has made the castle feel lighter. Everyone gained something today a new daughter, friend, niece, and mate. I look down at the girl asleep in my lap, and wonder if she knew how much she has changed us in just a little bit of time.
