"Such a waste," Aro murmured.

"Or we could change her," Marcus said suddenly.

We all looked at him. "Why?" Caius hissed.

"The punishment is death or changing. She wishes for death, but she is too valuable. I say we change her."

Aro mumbled something. "I say we change her as well. Dear Caius, I believe it would be better and that way when the Cullen's come, we can see for ourselves if they want Isabella or not."

"Felix, take her away, change her."

"Yes, Master," Felix bowed. He grabbed my arm and pulled me along, through double doors. I felt my heart beat quicken.

"Calm that heart of yours if you don't want me to kill you," Felix said calmly.

I gave a choked laugh. "You think that scares me?"

"It should have."

"I have faced Emmett Cullen's bear hugs, which are much scarier than you. Even though you have. . . red eyes," I mumbled the last part, hoping he wouldn't hear. Me and my big mouth.

"Yes, I drink from you humans, but I have the best control out of all of us. You won't be dying today, sorry."

"Damn it," I grumbled. I really hoped that my pain would just end. He chuckled and it sounded like music to my ears. God, why am I thinking this?

"I know, quite depressing that you are living, right?" Felix mumbled sarcastically.

I blushed, "Alright, fine. Just flick your wrist, break my neck, throw me out the window. Then you don't have to worry about it."

"Nice try."

He led me to a bedroom. "This will be your bedroom from now on. Now, where do you want me to bite?"

"Wherever? I don't know. I'm not an expert on this," I retorted.

"Right, right. You'll scream no matter what."

"I doubt that," I mumbled.

He narrowed his eyes. "Good, then we'll do the neck."

Before I could react he was at my neck. "This will hurt."

"Obviously," I managed to laugh.

"Sorry," he whispered so softly I wasn't sure if it was my imagination or not. Before I could assure him, he sank his teeth into my neck and set me down on the bed. Then time just seemed to stop. I began burning, burning. My body was on fire, my vision dark. I bit my lip to keep from screaming, though I wanted to more than anything.

. . .

I woke up after three days and blinked. Felix was leaning over me. I started at him confused. "What the hell?" I gasped. Then I gasped again at my voice! It was bells! So beautiful!

I touched Felix's shoulder and he blinked. "Holy shit, that was creepy," Felix shouted.

I was confused, "What?"

"You like, froze me," he said. "Didn't you feel that?"

I shook my head. "I-I don't think so. How long were you like that?"

"For the past day, since last night. Your final hours of the transformation. I think that's your power. You can stop time, like shield it! That's totally cool!"

I giggled, "Is the whole castle like that?"

He was out of my room and back in a second. "Yeah."

"Awesome!" I said, nodding. "Awesome indeed!"

He laughed, "Now make time come back."

I closed my eyes and shook my head around like I was humming a song in my head. I thought about people being in motion, activity, time. I didn't know what I was doing, but suddenly, I heard people saying "What the hell was that!"

I giggled, "Oops."

There was a knock on my door and Felix answered. "Master, it seems she's even more powerful than we imagined."

"She did this?" Aro gasped in amazement.

Felix nodded.

"We have visitors," Heidi murmured. "They have only just entered the city this morning, but due to Bella, they have been frozen like the rest of us."

Aro took Heidi hand and flashed his eyes to me, letting her go.

"Bella, how do you feel to seeing the Cullen's?"

I smiled, "I feel great."

Aro chuckled, "I knew you would say something like that because it seems that Alice had a vision of you being killed. How'd you like to play a little prank on them, young one?"

"I'd love that," I smiled, "If that's okay?"

"Oh, yes. I think it would be spectacular! Carlisle is a very dear friend and we always prank each other."

I smirked, "Just tell me what we're doing and we'll get this executed perfectly."

Aro laughed, "Oh, you are going to be a prankster, I can tell."

Felix pouted, "That's my role."

"I'll let you teach me the lay out and then we'll compete, how about that?"

"You are on!" Felix laughed.

"Aro, what's the plan?" Heidi asked eagerly.

. . .

"Welcome dear friends!" Aro shouted. I was currently hiding behind the statue. Felix and Heidi sat in front of it, making sure I couldn't be seen. I almost laughed out loud at the thought. "What joyous occassion has brough you here?"

"You killed a member of our family," Carlisle said calmly. "There is nothing joyous about that?"

"I don't recall killing a member of your family and by the looks of it, everyone is there, Carlisle. Surely you are mistaken."

"She was human," Carlisle continued.

"You do know that a human knowing of our existence is forbidden," Caius said boredly.

"How could you!" Edward shouted. "She was my mate!"

"She knew too much," Aro said calmly.

"She was a member of our family, surely you could tell if you touched her."

"She came to us, begging for death. I couldn't read her thoughts and she was against being changed. The only other option was death. It was what she wanted. And as I recall, she said that Edward and her had broken up. She wasn't a member of your family. You left her, human, knowing our secret. She couldn't have been your mate, if you left her."

I heard Edward's broken sobs. It was strange because while part of me still loved him, part of me didn't want him in my life. Felix sighed. "Master Aro, I believe they are right. Killing the human wasn't the right thing to do. We should have changed her."

"She would have just killed herself," Aro murmured. "There was nothing I could do."

"I offered," Felix said.

"You did. I believe when walking through the lobby, you called dibs on her?" Aro asked, amused. "What about our human receptionist, Rachel? You liked her."

"She was and is still human," Felix said defensive. "Besides, we were talking about the other human. Bella, I believe her name was."

Edward growled, "How dare you call dibs on MY Bella."

"Your Bella? You left her, Eddie."

Heidi tapped her foot impatiently, signalling my entry was soon.

"I love her! I lied to her when we left! I had to do what I did to keep her safe!"

Heidi nodded and I strode out towards them. "And have Victoria kill me?" I asked. "She's still out there."

"Oh my- Bella!" Edward cried, running towards me. I shot my hand out and he froze midstep. I grinned. "I'm getting pretty good at this."

Aro chuckled, "Very good, young one. Unfreeze him, please."

I dropped my hand and Edward stood up straight. "How- That was you when we first got into the city."

"Oh, right. That! I sort of developed my powers during while I was changed."

"You froze us while you were changing? How long have you been a vampire?" Jasper asked in amazement.

"Three hours."

Jasper started to sputter.

"Which reminds me, you need to feed," Aro murmured.

"I don't feel thirsty," I told Aro honestly.

"Magnificent! You confound us all!" Aro cried. I saw Caius roll his eyes, as well as Marcus. Apparently they thought he was crazy as well.

"Get on with it, Aro," Marcus chatisted in a delicate voice, almost as if he hardly spoke. The way everyone reacted, I believe that was the case.

"Right, right," Aro murmured. "You let a human know of our existence and then you just left her."

"We left to protect her," Edward said, staring at me.

I glared back.

"Perhaps, but you still left her. . . human as well."

"We were planning on changing her, but Edward was against the idea with a vengence," Carlisle said.

"Edward, your hand," Aro ordered. Edward handed over his hand hesitantly. What could he be hiding? I just had to find this out.

Edward gazed at Aro as Aro went back in time with his memories. My curiousity was getting the best of me as Aro let go and tisked.

"That is not very nice at all," Aro murmured, slightly angry. "How could you do something like that and still claim her as your mate?"

"She is my human. She doesn't belong to anyone else."

"I'm not your human," I growled. "I'm not even human anymore."

"What about Renee, Charlie, Phil?" Edward pleaded.

I kept my face indifferent, "What's done is done."

"Isabella's right, what's done is done. Now, what you have done is done, but should we procede to go about this normally, or give you a 'Get Out of Jail Free' card, since she did come to us and fix your mess herself? Decisions, decisions."

vampirelover2009 guessed first, so I'm using the name she wanted. . .:)
