Wow! I am SO happy right now! I logged onto my email account the morning after updating, and I find a BUNCH of reviews, favourite story, story update and author alerts! Go you! And to answer questions:

Dedications: Twilightfan888 who reviewed three out of four of my stories, you rock!

:By ME (it was actually by someone called ME): No, she won't get the power to grow up when she meets Edward, it will actually be before that, this story goes along the storyline of Twilight and New Moon and so on... I know it's confusing but everything will be cleared up later on, just hang on tight!

Chapter 3

Bella POV

1670

Aah. The visions I had recently acquired told me we were expecting a visitor. One problem: it was the blond guy I turned four years ago.

I told father and my uncles that I was going to my garden. My uncles were confused at first as no one knows about it, and I wanted it to stay that way. So I told father to whisper into the visitors ears the directions to where I was so no one else knew. The least I could do for someone I eternally damned is let them in on my secret hiding place.

So now, here I am, dancing in my garden along to the tune of my violin. That and the piano. (LINK ON PROFILE) I loved the song I had composed, I called it Broken Sorrow. (A/N. This is by a band called Nuttin But Stringz. Listen to their main violin and that's the song Bella makes. I don't own the song!) I then influenced the elements to make the wind blow and the leaves danced around and with me. From someone else's view, I know it would look magical.

As the wind blew around me I felt another scent blow around me. A scent I recognized immediately from four years back, just stronger with no bloodlust. But of course he didn't know who I was. And he won't find out soon I hope.

"Umm... Excuse me? But aren't you illegal little one? An immortal child?" the man asked. I turned around, setting my violin down along with the wind and earth. I started giggling uncontrollably when he called me 'little one'. "I'm sorry, but I don't know your name..." I asked. "Carlisle. I was changed four years ago." "Well, Carlisle, I was born in the year 650AD. Meaning I am 1020 years old. That was why I was giggling. You called me 'little one'. And my name is Isabella. I might be an immortal child, but because I can control myself I am allowed to stay. I am Marcus's daughter and Caius and Aro's niece," I explained.

He was in shock, and because he was sitting on a rock, he fell off! It made me laugh so hard that I was projecting my emotions and we both laughed for a long time.

Once we had calmed down we started talking about all sorts. I told him about my bracelet and how I get a charm for any occasion. I had one from my first mission. It was a pair of spy glasses as we were stealthy like them. He told me about his diet too. "I feed on animals my dear, not humans. That's why my eyes are gold. I find it much more humane and though it doesn't satisfy you like the blood of humans, god only knows how long it has taken to help me perfect my technique, it still keeps you strong. It's like living on just vegetables (A/N. Remember there isn't things like tofu and soya like mentioned in twilight, this is the seventeenth century!) and water. I call it the vegetarian way."

I looked on in awe. "Will you teach me, Carlie? How to hunt animals?" Using the nickname I just gave him. After he said yes, I told him, "Let's go tell father where I am so he doesn't panic."

Father was sitting on his throne talking to Uncle Aro and Uncle Caius. "Father, Uncles, I have something to ask of you." This of course got their attention immediately. As a general rule I never asked for anything as I had the power to have any power or gift I liked. "I would like to hunt animals like our guest Carlisle." They all gasped, no one had ever heard of a ruler slash princess of the vampire world being a vegetarian. "Listen and hear me out first. I need to do this. Humans might sustain me but they don't sustain my sanity. You forget that I gave myself the power of empathy a few years back. Not only do I project and change other people's emotions, I feel the emotions myself, including those of my victims. That included the fear and sadness. I need this as you know I can't take the powers away. Carlisle will teach me everything I need to know. Please. I need this," I ended.

I waited while they decided. "Okay, my little child, you my hunt animals with Carlisle," Marcus told me. He then turned his attention to Carlisle, "If she comes home with one scratch then it will be on your head, Carlisle. We do not take lightly to one of our own being harmed." "She will be safe with me, sir," Carlisle answered a little nervously. And at that I took him off to the woods to find some animals. The sooner the better.

Well? I have started looking for pictures to put on my profile to do with my stories. There is one on there already, which is Isabella's violin and piano she has in her garden. Review please!
