Okay, since I got really nice reviews, here is the next chapter.

I walked into my room, silently cursing myself for probably getting Alec into trouble with Caius. I sat on my bed and sighed. I heard a gentle knock on the door.
"Princess?" I heard Jane's low whisper. I got up and unlocked the door.
"What's wrong, Princess Isabella?" she asked and Heidi looked worried.
"Alec kissed me and…Caius saw and broke it up…" I said. They exchanged looks and Jane hugged me gently.
"Where is Alec?" she asked urgently.
"Back in his chambers, I'm not sure if Caius is with him or not…" I whispered and we both nodded and headed towards Alec's chambers, and Heidi went to inform father.
We came to Alec's doors and I quickly knocked. He came to the door and opened it.
"Princess, I'm so terribly sorry…" He stammered but I put a hand up to silence him.
"It's not your fault, its mine." I mumbled. I heard footsteps approaching and I knew immediately by the anger in them, that it was Caius. Jane stood behind me and Alec was beside me. He rounded the corner and saw us there.
"Come here, Princess Isabella" Caius said, scowling at Alec and Jane. I reluctantly obeyed. Now Jane is in trouble, nice job Bella…
He took my wrist and moved me behind him, with a smirk on his face.
"We have told you not to be involved with Princess Isabella. Do you understand that you have broken protocol?" Caius growled at Alec but I placed a hand on Caius's shoulder, trying to calm him. I saw father, mother, Demetri, and Felix round the corner towards us.
"Isabella" Mother called and I ran to her.
"Calm down, brother. I'm sure that Alec means no harm or disrespect to my daughter." father said calmly. Caius nodded and turned towards Sulpicia.
"Lady Sulpicia, I am sorry that Alec violated the Princess in such a manner." Caius said and stared at me. I was going to tell mom that he didn't violate me but Caius shot me the quiet-time look.
"Violated?" mom asked in a horrified tone. Demetri twitched towards Alec. He was really protective too.
"Alec, what exactly happened?" Father asked in a serious tone. He reached out for Alec's hand and Alec placed his hand in fathers.
It was silent for a few moments and mother tightened her hold on my shoulders. Then father looked up.
"That was not exactly violation but it was indecent, none the less." He said and glanced at me.
"I would advise you having more respect for my daughter, young Alec." My mother said fiercely. Caius smiled at my mother.
"Yes ma'am" he mumbled. I gave Alec an apologetic glance.
"Well, let's not make this bigger than it is. I believe Heidi and Jane wished to take you shopping?" Father suggested and Heidi, Jane, and I nodded in unison, and everyone dispersed. Heidi, Jane, and I headed back to my room for me to get ready.
When we came back to my room, Jane informed me that it was cloudy so we leave our cloaks. I went to my closet and picked out an ivory sundress with purple flecks, and I pair of white peep toe heels. Jane and Heidi curled my mahogany hair, and didn't bother with any makeup. I already was beautiful enough to turn every head; we all were, so why attract more attention?
My Volturi necklace glinted in the light, always reminding me of who I was. I was Isabella Rosanna Volturi, Princess of the Vampire World. I loved who I was, I loved my family. My father was leader of the vampire world, and the best father. He gave me anything and everything I desired. Mother and Athenodora were kind and warm to me. Many outsiders believe that father married my mother for appearances sake, but my father is truly in love with her; I'm not as sure about Caius and Athenodora, but I keep that to myself.
Marcus is lost without Didyme, but he says I ease the wound because I remind him of her with my way of spreading happiness and joy. Jane, Heidi, Chelsea, and Renata are my guardians and friends. I am closest with Jane. Demetri, Felix, and Santiago are like my big brothers, and are extremely protective and loyal to their princess. Alec is my best friend and I couldn't imagine living without him. We have always held hands and kiss each other's cheeks. It's just the way we were around each other, it came so naturally.
Jane voice calling my name brought me back from my reverie indulgence. I glanced up into her worried eyes.
"Princess Isabella, are you alright?" she asked in a shaking voice. I nodded and flashed and embarrassed smile.
"I guess I zoned out for a few moments. I was just thinking." I saw evenly. If I could have blushed, I would have.
"Care to share what you were thinking about?" she said playfully.
"I was merely thinking of my wonderful family, that's all." I utilized my innocent smile. She and Heidi both giggled. I loved how easy going they were about life.
"Yes, your mother and father are truly wonderful in every way, my princess" Heidi smiled and I shake my head slightly.
"They are wonderful, but you are all family to me. You and all of the guards are not just guards, but family in my eyes." I let a smile grace my full lips. They flashed adoring smiles at me, and I grabbed my purse, to leave. Jane was already wearing a light blue sundress and Heidi was in a red one. I grabbed my purse, which held my money, emergency phone, and a beeper in case I need help.
"Let's go" I said in my musical voice. We walked out of the castle's main entrance a waved goodbye to the human secretary, Gianna. After walking a few blocks, we came to a row of shops. We entered a beautiful Italian Dress store. I tried on a pile of dresses from blue to brown, until I saw the most breathtaking dress.
It was grey silk with diamonds placed along the neckline. It had bands of purple on the skirt and a small sash the fell down to the floor. I knew the dress was perfect and Heidi and Jane agreed. Heidi chose a crimson evening gown with dark red on the top that disappeared as the skirt flowed out, and Jane chose a beautiful yellow dress with a sweetheart neckline and a diamond clip on the waistline. We all picked out shoes and extra jewelry. I got a new diamond bracelet and had a small V engraved on the back.
A tiny hint of the sun began to peep from behind the clouds, so we headed back to the castle. When we walked in, Gianna greeted us. I went into the throne room, and sure enough, father was there.
"Hello father, Marcus, Caius." I greeted them. Father smiled and I returned it. Marcus leaned up in his chair and Caius smirked at me.
"Hello Mia Cara, I trust that you had fun?" he asked happily and I nodded in agreement.
"Were the human dresses satisfactory?" Caius smiled slightly and chuckled. I glared at him.
"Yes, they were, but you will see my dress when everyone else does, at the ball" I smirked back and he glared at me this time.
"Well, I must be heading out. I will be back in an hour or so." Heidi smiled and bowed as she left the room. She was going to go find dinner.
"I think I am going to take a stroll through the gardens. Is that alright, father?" I asked and flashed my innocent smile. He smiled and nodded. I was gone in the instant, heading out of the back entrance, to my sanctuary.
I absolutely loved the scent of Freesia. I walked past rows of roses and lilies until I came to the bench by the freesia. It was wrought iron and the scent wafted around me when I sat. I closed my eyes and locked the scent into my mind. I inhaled steadily admiring it until a new scent caught my attention, the sweet smell of vanilla and roses. I opened my eyes and stared into beautiful face before me.
"Hello Master Caius" I said with a ring in my soprano voice. I smiled and he did too. I motioned for him to sit down on the bench next to me. He sat and stared at the Freesia.
"Why are you over here, instead of at the roses? Aren't roses a woman's favorite?" he asked almost sarcastically. I shook my head slightly.
"Freesia is my favorite, but I see that you share the common love of roses." I smirked back and he inhaled the scent.
"So this is why you always smell of freesia, it is a beautiful scent." He smiled, but a real smile. I stared into his deep crimson eyes for a length of time that I found to be immeasurable. I placed my hand on the bench between us and he reached down slowly and grasped my hand gently, giving me ample time to pull away, but I didn't want to. We stared out at the Italian sunset, until we heard Jane calling our names.
For those of you who wanted me to continue with this story, I hope I didn't disappoint. Please review! I will post the next chapter if I get 2 reviews.
