Everything was silent at first. Then I heard a shout.
"BELLA!" Alice yelled, shocked. "How come I didn't see this?" She zoned out like she was searching for something. "I can't see your future at all!"
I chuckled. "I'm a shield; I can block any power, physical and mental."
I looked around the room.
Esme looked like she was about to cry, she was seated on the red loveseat with Carlisle. Alice was bounding with excitement, being held back by a very cautious looking Jasper. I noticed all of Jasper's scars.
"My, my, Major. Didn't know you had that many scars." I stated.
Jasper stood up straighter.
"Bella, nice to see you." He said with no emotion.
"I would say the same. But. It's not nice to see any of you." I smirked at the hurt expressions. "Well, except my mother." I looked at Esme and opened my arms for a hug.
Esme hurled herself forward despite a warning from Jasper. Into my arms, she hugged me.
"Bella, I'm so sorry, I never meant to leave. I didn't want to go, they outvoted Alice and I." Esme cried. I patted her back and she went back to sit with her husband.
"So Emmett was gripped too tightly by the balls to want to stay with his sister?" I inquired, "How cute."
Alice stifled her laughter.
"HEY!" Emmett shouted.
Rosalie smacked him upside the head, "You know that's how it went." She said. Emmett nodded mutely.
I looked at Edward and his tramp.
"So, I see you found a downgrade. Pity." I smirked.
All eyes turned to me. I didn't advert my eyes. I stared at Edward.
"Go Bella!" Emmett said.
The blonde stood up and marched her way to me.
"I don't know, like, who you think you, like, are. But my name is Anna." She sounded like a five year old. At least I have patience with children. I loved children. Her though? Not at all. Remind me when I'm back at the castle to schedule a Ball to announce my ruling. I'm sick of telling people who I am.
"Me? I am Isabella Volturi. Queen of the vampire race, child. I have enough power to kill you now without being questioned." I smiled politely.
"Whatever, bitch. You aren't the queen."
Hold up. This 'girl' is tripping. How dare she. I'm about to let out my inner gangster and how you say, 'pop this girl'.
"Were you changed recently? How naive you are. I thought you had taste Edward. Anywho. Esme, will you please show me to my room? I would like to get settled in." I smiled.
"Of course, dear."
I grabbed my bags at vampire speed and followed her up the stairs and to the right.
She opened the door and smiled, "I hope it's to your liking, Bella," she whispered to me, "I really have missed you. My heart was not the same. Please give them a chance." I made my mouth into a firm line and nodded politely.
I shut the door and plopped down on the bed, listening to the conversation below me.
"How could you just let her insult Anna?" Edward demanded of Carlisle.
"Edward. I think you've forgotten who the leader of our family is. Obviously she is hurting. Plus…" Carlisle leads off.
"Plus what?" Edward said.
Rosalie butted in, "PLUS NONE OF US LIKE ANNA! That's what. You just keep her around for a little fuck and that's it."
"HEY!" Anna whined. Edward huffed.
"Come on Anna, we are leaving," Edward looked at Carlisle,
"WE will be back next week. I am hoping that thing will be gone by then."
I scoffed and called down. "Eddie boy, I'll be here for a whole MONTH!" I laughed evilly.
The last thing I heard was the slamming of the door and two footsteps running away.
