Chapter 3

There was a pause among everybody as they took this in. The man in the middle turned to Jane, "What happened?"

"We believe that Victoria may have found her before we did. By the time we reached her Victoria had already fled and the damage was done. Felix went after her but lost the scent among the local wolves in the area. We gave her a sedative to slow the change and made sure the funeral proceeded smoothly and speedily. When she came out of the grave she gave no indication of knowing what we were or who she was."

"I see. Well that's…hmm," he turned back to the confused girl. "I am sorry my dear. Hear you are in the middle of all this and yet you have no idea what is going on. My name is Aro and these are my companions, Marcus," the dark haired man nodded his head, "and Caius," the blonde gave no acknowledgement to her, "and you, my dear, are Isabella and I welcome you to Volterra."

She stood there for a moment and took everything in. She turned to look at Aro, "I am different from before. I use to be human."

"Yes."

She looked at everyone and remembered their reactions to her and the words it doesn't work on her. "I am different now, here, aren't I?"

"Yes you are."

"Is that bad?" Much of her ferociousness and defensiveness has faded and they could all clearly see how frightened and unsure she was of all of this.

Aro smiled and put an arm around her and pulled her close, "No it is not bad. It is actually very good. There is the beginnings of unrest in our world and many of our friends can no longer be trusted. But you are the one that we need to set order again. You are not alone here, not like you were in your previous life. We are your friends, and I hope one day you will consider us as your family." He took a step away from her to look her square in the eye, "Isabella I have special task for you and you alone. The gifts that you possess make you very unique among us and potentially very strong," he took a couple steps away from and back up to the dias to stand with the other two. He held out his hand, "Isabella, will you join us?"

She looked at and the others. She could say no and walk away. But walk away to what. She knew no one and had nothing. Aro even said that she was alone in her previous life so it wouldn't matter if she remembered any way. "Will it be hard? Will it hurt, to become what you want me to be?"

"Yes it will hurt and it will not be easy. But if you are as strong as I hope you are then you will become something amazing." His hand was still out stretched and she reached for it with only one thought, there is no turning back.
