Review:
Jasper looked down at Alice and smiled. "If I am allowed to go then I will. Newborns are quite a handful." He shot the rest of them a grin.
Alice giggled. "Aro will allow it." She grinned at the others as she skipped out of the room.
Jasper looked at Emmett and Rose. "She must know something."
Emmett nodded. "Yeah she does but that doesn't mean we'll ever know." His shoulders slumped. "That little pixie is rather evil when she wants."
"I heard that Emmett!" Alice yelled from her room.
Emmett cringed. "Oh man."

Bella blinked her eyes as she sat up on the bed. She looked around the room and noticed that she was alone. Shaking her head she noticed that there was a lingering scent that was in the room with her. Frowning she stood and stretched. She knew she had to thank Alec for helping her. Bella looked down and cringed. Her clothes had not been changed. She wondered who Laurent got her out of the US with her in bloody clothes that were torn.
She looked around and finally found a closet that had clothes, all in her size. Smiling she grabbed a pair of brown leather pants that tied up the side and a black leather vest and a tube top. After she chose her clothing she went over to another door and opened it to see that there was a full bath. Bella almost squealed as she made her way over to the shower and took off her clothes.
As the hot water flowed over her skin she washed the dirt and blood away and watched it go down the drain. Bella could not understand how she ended up here but she does remember that Edward had wanted to leave her again. She ran from him then ended up wrecking. Laurent had found her and taken care of her by changing her and bringing her to Volterra to her new family. A knock brought her out of her thoughts.
"Just a moment." Bella called to the person on the other side.
"I came here to tell you that Aro would like you to come to the throne room." Jane answered back. "It is where you were with... where you were before."
Bella smiled. "Of course I will be right there." She quickly washed her hair and climbed out.
Bella knew that Jane had left so she hurriedly dressed and combed her hair. After looking in the mirror she grinned. She always wondered if she could get any piercings. She knew that vampire skin was rather hard and only vampire teeth could pierce their skin. Suddenly she got an idea and wondered if Aro and the others would agree. It would be only for the vampire world but Bella had a feeling that she would make a killing.
As soon as she was done she raced out the door using her new speed. She laughed as she flew past other vampires as well as the human secretary that was still there from last time she had been here. Bella hated the fact she had to wait for the elevator along with riding the elevator down. She ran to the door and slid to a stop. Bella could hear laughing on the other side. She rolled her eyes and opened the doors.
Aro, Marcus and Carius were in their seats while Demetri and Felix were standing by Marcus and Jane and Alec were standing by Carius. Bella stepped forward until she was standing not to far from Aro and the others. She wondered why they needed to speak with her. She looked at Aro knowing he would likely be the one to tell her.
Aro stood and walked up to Bella. "My dear, Eleazar called and wished to know if one of the Cullen boys could come with him." He had placed a hand on her shoulder.
"No." Bella hissed. "I want none of them coming here."
Aro frowned. "It is not Edward my sweet Isabella. If I am not mistaken it is Jasper from what Eleazar told me." Bella closed her eyes to try to clear her thoughts.
She knew that without a doubt that Alice must have seen Jasper coming with Eleazar which would put a kink in her plans. Smirking she opened her eyes and looked at her new family.
"I know that Jasper is good with newborns however I am not like most." Bella sneered. "Eleazar is allowed to come but only him. If I know Alice she has already told Jasper that he would be able to come which would mean they would know that I am here."
Carius stood. "Isabella is correct brother." He moved to Bella's side. "If that is your wish then only Eleazar is allowed to come. He should be calling back shortly for the answer."
Bella nodded. "I would like to see my newest brother." She looked at Jane. "Did he survive the transformation?"
"Yes he did." Jane clapped her hands. "He was almost as quiet as you. Only for the occasional whimper. He was strangely quiet."
Just then a tall boy with long straight black hair with bright red eyes walked in. He was about Edwards' height except he was more muscular like Jake. Bella smiled as she walked up to him and extended her hand. The boy looked at her hand with confusion.
"Can I know your name?" Bella cocked her head to the side. "I was the one who decided that you would be spared. I am a newborn as well." She gave him a warm smile.
"Dyne." He looked from Bella to the others. "Why was I brought?" He looked back to Bella.
Bella sighed as she turned her attention back to the others. "May Dyne and I go speak somewhere private?" She looked at Aro then Carius.
They both nodded. "That is fine dear." Aro took her hand and kissed the back. "Just keep an eye on him. Remember we are going to be bringing the first meal soon."
"No children or young." Bella warned. "I want only the ill or criminal or insane. Someone that no one would miss."
Marcus stood and walked to Bella this time. "Of course my dear. We have been looking for a reason to help with the human world that we feed from while we take some of their lives." He looked at the others. "Although we don't think we can stick to a 'vegetarian' diet." He laughed.
Bella chuckled along with everyone else but Dyne. "Thank you." Bella kissed them on the cheeks then took Dyne's hand. "Come on we can speak in my room."
Dyne did not say anything but followed behind her. Bella wondered if he ever spoke without being spoken to. Sighing she knew that it would take him a little while to adjust. Bella supposed that she was odd but something that Jane had said surfaced in her mind. Dyne had been quiet for being a newborn.

Carlisle sighed as he hung up the phone with Eleazar. He was rather surprised that Eleazar had called up and told him that Jasper was not able to go with him. Carlisle had asked who wished for his help but Eleazar would not say. Edward could not even get a read on him. Eleazar was blocking his mind. Sighing he walked out of his study and went into the living room where every one was.
Jasper stood as soon as Carlisle walked in. "Should I pack?" He could feel that Carlisle was worried about something.
"I'm afraid not Jasper." He frowned. "Eleazar called and said that you were not allowed to follow. It was quite strange." He shook his head as he took a seat.
"How so?" Esme asked.
Carlisle looked up at his wife and mate. "He told me that he would be gone only three days then he would return." He looked at Jasper. "Doesn't it take longer to get a handle on newborns?"
"That is odd." Jasper thought aloud. "Most newborns are so crazed with blood lust that it took nearly three months to get them calmed down enough to train. But three days?" He shook his head.
"Who ever this newborn is would be rather powerful if whoever needs Eleazar for only three days." Rose put her two cents worth in. "It took Emmett almost a full year before he was able to hunt without us."
Emmett nodded. "Yeah I hated that time." He mumbled. "The only thing I could think about was blood." He shivered from the memory.
"Rose is right." Jasper said. "I just hope that who ever Eleazar is going to see is very controlled."
The others nodded as they agreed. Most of them it took 6 months to a year before they were out of their blood lust stage. Emmett was the worse and Carlisle didn't have hardly any. He in fact starved himself because he felt himself evil until he found out he could live off the blood of animals.

Bella lead Dyne up to her room. She let him enter ahead of her because she was worried that something was wrong. She stood by the door with a frown on her face. She may not be an empath but there was something that was bothering Dyne.
"Dyne is there anything that you wish to know?" Bella waited as Dyne looked around her room.
Dyne stopped and turned his eyes to Bella. "What am I?" There was a tremble in his tone.
Bella crossed the distance faster than human and wrapped her arms around him and pulled him into her embrace. She knew what she was but Bella wondered if it was hard for Dyne because of not knowing.
"I should have spoken with you before you were changed." Bella apologized. "Do you think that you might have an idea of what you have become?" Bella looked into his eyes. There was a distant look to him. As if he was looking through her.
Dyne shook his head. "Um..." He looked lost for a moment. "What happened?"
Bella thought back for a moment then remembered the look in Dyne's eyes. They were the same as Aro's when he connected to someone. Bella frowned wondering if Dyne had Aro's power. Mentally shaking her head she looked Dyne in the eyes.
"What did you see?" Bella wondered what he had saw. Was he like Aro or could he see the future like Alice?
"You had a very hard life." Dyne whispered looking into her eyes. "It was as if your whole life story flashed before my eyes. I am truly sorry for what has happened to you." Dyne took Bella's hand.
"Thank you." Bella could tell that Jane was on her way. "I do believe that dinner will be served." Bella stood and went to the door. "Will you join me?" She looked at Dyne.
Dyne smiled. "Yes I would love to." He stood and made his way to Bella's side. "I believe I could trust you." He said out of no where.
"I would appreciate that but first we need to eat." Bella opened the door to show that Jane had just arrived.
"Aro wishes for both of you to come feed with the family." Jane smiled. "We wish to see if your instincts are of a newborn or a older vampire."
Dyne raised a brow. "Alright." He looked at Bella who was grinning.
"Don't worry." Bella patted his arm. "From what I remember being told its very easy the only hard part is withstanding the scent of the human blood that will be in the room."
"Then I shall lead the way." Jane told them as she took a hand of both of them.
Bella grinned while Dyne looked surprised. Bella was also surprised but it was a nice surprise. Never had she realized that Jane had a split personality. While she was wearing the cloak she was Jane Volturi. As soon as the cloak came off and her hair came down Jane's personality changed. She may have been quiet but she was more talkative once she knew that you were loyal to her family.
