2. TEXAS

"Hello my name is Maria." Said a musical voice.

I turned around and said "Maria, pretty well my name is Isabella." I no longer wanted to be called Bella or Bells anything that could even come remotely close to bringing up old memories which is what was agonizing me before she pulled me out of my very painful thoughts.

"Nice to meet you, would you like to meet everyone here I amuse you know where you are." Maria said and motioned for me to follow. Maria why was that name familiar…oh right Jas- I mean one of them was changed by Maria, wow she's still around well it would be my luck to find her here. I will simply never mention them at all. Not that I was going to anyway just now I know for sure not to talk about them or something that would remind her of them.

"Yes I do." I said simply and emotionless.

"May I ask how you were changed?" She said and led me into a giant house that looked centuries old and was filled with new born vampires. I could tell because they all had red eyes and looked either impatient or hungry. I on the other hand had light blue. I don't know why because I never had blue eyes before even before my transformation. It went great with my light brown hair but still it was a little weird when I first saw them.

"Well I was walking in the woods and a girl with fire red hair came out and bit me." I said briefly, no need to go into details.

"Do you know whether you have a power?" A new voice said this time, it was a girls voice and very pretty like someone was singing but with a happy edge to it. I idly wondered if I would ever be happy again or at least feel anything other than the pain that they left me with.

"I don't know I didn't really try anything." I said and turned around to see a very, very beautiful girl about my age 17 with blood red eyes and jet black hair with extremely pale skin and a skinny but not too skinny body with curves in the right places.

She gasped when she saw my eyes and said "Oh yeah you'll have a power tell me what were you feeling when you were changing, I mean except for the pain."

"I wasn't feeling pain I feel nothing just numbness." I said and both hers and Maria's eyes widened.

"What are we talking about over here my lovely lady?" A huge man about the size of Emmett or uh them came walking out and wrapped his arms around the beautiful girl with jet black hair then kissed her check.

"Well her transformation she said she felt nothing." The beautiful girl with jet black hair said.

"Oh hello sorry when Chelsea's in the room it's hard to notice anything else not that your not uh beautiful and all I just have eyes for one woman." He looked guilty and Maria and Chelsea laughed.

"Don't worry I don't have a heart anyway." I said and leaned against a wall while there eyes widened at what I said. You would think vampires would take shocking news better than how they are.

"I am sure you do." He said guilty again after Chelsea punched him.

"No I don't it belongs to someone else and regardless of whether he wanted it he still has it." I said and ran my hand through my hair absent mindedly.

"Oh well I am Collin and my power is levitation." He said and smiled at me apologetic.

"Well it is nice to meet you all my name is Isabella Swan and I haven't really found out what my power is." I said simply.

"Oh well you wanna try some things." He said and Chelsea's eyes went blank for a few seconds and then she gasped. "Oh yeah Chelsea can see the future."

"I know what your power is." She said grinning.

"What." I said absently I really didn't care whether I had a power are not, I really wish Victoria had killed me, it sounds weird because I use to want this life really bad but that was only because I would be with them now it just seemed like a waist of time.

"Well have you ever heard of the Volturi?" She asked excited.

"Nope can't say I have." I said still leaning on the wall.

"Oh well then how about I just cut it down you have two powers actually and they both are very powerful and deadly." She said and I noticed Maria turn her head to Chelsea when she said that. Mental note: Maria only wants power keep an eye out.

"And." I prompted her.

"Well you can inflect pain like Jane for the Volturi and also you can make someone go completely numb like Alec from the Volturi but yours is different your power can work on people who are shields too because yours unlike Jane's and Alec's is both physical and mental if you choose it to be, now the deadly part you can cause someone so much pain that they're heads just like burn out or something and then there body just spontaneously combusts." She said and Maria and Collin looked at Chelsea with wide eyes and then at me with both fear and respect in there eyes.

"That's quite some power." Maria said in awe almost.

"Yeah guess so." I said still unfazed by they're discovery I mean it kind of makes since that I would get a power that deals with both pain and numbness seeing as how I am the expert of that.

"This doesn't even faze you at all I just told you that you could most likely be the most powerful vampire and you act like its nothing." Chelsea said shocked.

I shrugged and said "I don't feel anything anymore I am numb all the time I feel no happiness no pain no nothing." I left out the part where I feel pain when I think of them but I just met these people it's not like I was going to tell them my whole life story in one day.

"Ok so Collin show her to the training room, get her trained as fast as you can I want her out there as soon as possible she's our special weapon now no one will see it coming." Maria said in a business like manner then she turned to me and smiled a fake smile "Is that okay with you I amuse this is why you came to us."

I shrugged and said "Well honestly I was just restless and wanted to do something so I figured why not spend my eternal life fighting."

They stood there and gaped at me and then Collin seemed to recover enough to actually move his lips and body "Okay well then let's go." I followed Collin to this big field where there were many new borns fighting already.

"Ready." He asked after he showed me some moves.

I nodded and he leaped at me, that was a mistake I grabbed both of his feet and brought him to the floor biting into his neck like he said to do, then I got off and stood back. Everyone had stopped fighting and was now staring at me in shock. I leaned against a column they had there and waited for Collin to get up.

Instead four people charged at me and I looked at Collin to see if it was okay to use my power for the first time and he nodded. I sensed all four of them and then inflected them with pain. They all crumpled to the floor and screamed out. Collin looked shocked and awed at first and then respectful.

I released them, walked over and said flatly "Sorry just following orders." They looked at me with respect and fear. I shrugged and went back to leaning on my column. It took about three hours to become a killing machine and all my senses seemed to be heightened at the end of it.

"Okay looks like your ready to fight." Chelsea said brightly and hugged me.

I was beginning to like Chelsea and Collin they were they only people here who were older than a new born and didn't look at me with fear or greed like Maria did. To her I was just her toy something to gain more territory.

******

176 years later…

"Hey Isa what's up?" Chelsea came bouncing into my room followed by Collin.

"Like you don't already know." I said blankly, it had been 175 years since I was changed and I was still numb I have never once smiled since I was changed and I have never once been happy, but that may also have to do with the fact that I am a killing machine and am always numb. I do know that I feel love every once in a while like every 50 years or so. I never thought I would love again but I do. Chelsea and Collin I love them not as much as I do them but I would still kill anyone who even thinks about killing Chelsea and Collin, they are my family now.

"Well what are we waiting for I think we should go to Paris?" Chelsea said excited and leaped gracefully onto my bed.

"What are you two talking about?" Collin said a little annoyed.

"While I was thinking about leaving you know giving our territory to Damien only if we all agree on it." I said not looking away from my ceiling. I wasn't going to leave without them and I certainly wasn't going to disobey they're wishes. I mean I am the leader but they are my equals even though I am introduced as they're leader to everyone I still never go against there wishes because they are like I said before my family.

"I'm in besides it's not really fun anymore; it's kind of boring you know now that no one will fight us because of you not even the Volturi so where are we going?" Collin said levitating a chair from the corner and bringing over to him.

Chelsea scoffed and said "You are so lazy why don't you just walk over get it."

He raised and eye brow at her and then levitated her in the air and brought her down on his lap. He kissed her neck and said "Because it kills me to even spend that much time getting to you when I could have you like this in an instant." His voice was dripping with lust and love so much it made me wince in pain.

Chelsea saw and punched Collin in the chest "Sorry Isa he forgot." I could hear the deadly tone in her voice.

"Oh yeah I'm so sorry I really did-"

"I was thinking of going to Forks giving high school a chance." I cut him and they both growled. I had told them about 100 years back what happened to me in my human life and boy if they ever show up are they going to be in trouble because Collin and Chelsea hate them. Very much, they actually wanted to track them down and kill them when they first heard. I didn't let them because as much as I hate to admit it I love them all so much it hurts everyday of my life being away from them. I would never ever let them die or get hurt and if I ever find out that any of them are dead or gone the person who killed them will be very, very sorry.

"Forks." They both sneered bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah oddly I miss it and I don't know I want to see how things have changed." I said my tone flat. I have never showed any emotions ever, mostly because I don't have any really.

"Alright well then lets go give Damien the good news." Chelsea said and leaped off of Collin's lap.

We walked downstairs together and called a meeting. "Okay now we called this meeting for one simple reason." I said when everyone was assembled which took forever seeing as how we have a lot of vampires here only new borns though. Only Chelsea, Collin, and myself are over two years. "We are leaving and we are now turning all of our territory over to Damien." He was the oldest past one year and a very smart, very skilled fighter.

Gasped and whispers broke out as we stepped down and walked out the door leaving the territory we had spent the last 176 years building to Damien who looked shocked and pleased. I had killed Maria about the second year I was here because she had tried to kill me once and unsuccessful but still everyone knew that if you fight me you die. I have gotten many bits on me yes but that it is a given in this war but if you have killed millions and millions just in two seconds, soon people just willingly give over there alliance and territory without any fight.

Then the Volturi came to dispose of us because we were too powerful but I told Aro that I had no wish of controlling all vampires and that I was simply restless and wanted to fight. He allowed us to have our territory well he didn't really have a choice in the matter I could have killed them all in two seconds and let me tell you 300 vampires spontaneously combusting is not a pretty sight to watch.

"So Isa do you have a house in mind." Chelsea asked brightly already knowing the answer because of course she had seen it.

"Why do you continue to ask me things you already know the answer to?" I said as we all boarded the plane.

She shrugged and said "I don't know habit."

We took our seats and I stared out the window thinking about how I was always so numb but then always so restless. I always wanted to be busy that's why I went into fighting I was the best, still vampires look at me and see my scars and know where I have been but it doesn't really matter because it's not like I can hide them except with make up but why bother. I have less than Jasper and less than Collin and Chelsea but they still cover a lot of my body.

"So Is." Collin said pulling me back from my thoughts.

"Yeah Collin." I said looking at him.

"I was wondering why the change of heart I mean we are happy with the choice but it's just you love the fight." He said curious.

"I know I do love to fight but no one fights us anymore its not worth it I mean how many times have you had a really good fight over the last 70 years." I said staring at him with my same blank expression I had worn since I was changed.

"Yeah I know what you mean everyone just hands over there territory its not even a fight I wish I could go back when the Volturi comes and takes the territory from Damien and just fight but no one would ever fights us." Chelsea said a little sulky.

"I don't know I think I might miss it sometimes because I will be a whole lot restless now but I think we did the right thing I mean how long were we going to rule half of the continent." I said laying my head back so I could see the ceiling I often did this a lot I would just sit and stare at the ceiling thinking about nothing and then some times thinking about my life and back to the day Ed- he said he didn't love me. I always knew it was coming I just really didn't want to believe it, I mean it kills me everyday and there is still a huge hole in my body where my heart use to be but I always knew that someone as beautiful as him could never love someone as plain as me.

They laughed "Yeah the only person in history to fight and conquer many regions just because she felt restless after her change." Collin said.
