They were the last ones to come in. they came in at a slow pace. I let out the breath I was holding in when I saw him. My heart felt relieved when I saw that he hadn't changed at all. My emotions changed rapidly, I was relieved then happy to see him, then angry at what he had done to me. Jasper turned to look at me since my emotions were the most unstable. I stood a bit straighter when Edward turned to look at me, I made sure the hood was covering my face. . His expression was one of confusion, probably because there was a new member, me. I quickly remembered my purpose and put up a shield around the guard and the thrones. Edward's expression was astonished when he couldn't hear any of our thoughts.

I placed my attention to the other covens. They all had gifts or Aro, Caius and Marcus. The Egyptian coven was up first. They presented three gold rings. Jane took it from them and went back to her place. They looked quite heavy up close.

The Irish gave a trunk filled with gold coins. The Denali Coven gave a very expensive looking vase. I glared at Tanya as she gave Demetri the vase. Then Carlisle came up for the Olympic Coven. He presented a really big diamond. Heidi took it. Her eyes were wide with wonder.

Then it was the Amazon coven. The vampire, Zafrina looked quite nervous. She brought with her a large wooden box. Aro motioned for her to open it. She opened it and took out a cat.

I glanced at Aro. He looked furious. Apparently, he didn't know that it was a very rare cat. He was about to get up, probably to kill the cat. I just couldn't let that happen the poor cat didn't deserve to be killed.

I quickly put my hand on his shoulder and pushed him back to his seat. There was a few gasps from the guards and the covens started murmuring. I walked down the few steps and slowly walked towards the cat. My assessment was right it was a rare cat. "It's an Iromote cat." I said to Aro. I pet it's head. I must have been the only friendly vampire it's met, because it took liking to me and rubbed it's head on my hand.

Aro, coughed, trying to get everyone's attention. "Friends, I'd like you to meet the newest member of our guard." It took a deep breath, I was about to reveal myself to the Cullen's. "Isabella Swan." I took of my hood as he spoke. There were a few gasps from the Cullen's.

Alice had her eyes wide opened, I bet she didn't see that coming. Rosalie had her mouth was hanging open and everyone else was staring. Except Edward, he had his head down, not daring to look at me.
