A/N: O.k. so I made some typos last chapter if you noticed I'm sorry if you didn't don't worry. The last chapter was actually chapter two kind of. Anyway I hope you enjoy this one. It's to all my fans.

I look up to see Aro as he strode forth into the room. He grabbed my arm and pulled me to my feet.

"Come now my dear child, we have many a things to discuss." And then he dragged me out of the room and to where ever he was taking me, I was just hoping that it was not somewhere bad.

"Um, sir?" my voice was rough from not being used for so long.

"Yes what is it that you need?" He sounded irritated.

"I was wondering you could… erm… show me to the restroom?"

"Of course, this way Isabella" Then we turned off our course and went down a hallway. He stood outside tapping his foot impatiently. "Could you hurry up!"

Oh, I was so close to making a smart ass comment right there, but I didn't as I figured it wouldn't help my situation. Then we left and he led me down these halls, I figured we were underground. We entered a room with book cases covering the walls and a long wooden table with chairs and people all around it. Aro sat at the head of the table and among the men surrounding the table I only recognized Jasper, the one who had came into the room the other evening. As I stepped through the threshold I thought he had stiffened.

"Alright, as you all know, we have come here to discuss some problems." Aro announced and gave a pointed glare my way. I was standing in the corner closest to Aro's seat. "You all may take your seats now." And they all sat behind the chair they were standing behind.

"We are here to discuss this problem that Jasper couldn't seem to take care of on his own."

Apparently I was the problem as everyone was looking at me. But I haven't done anything they captured me in the ally way as I was running for my life. Jasper stood up at his seat his hands braced on the table as he leaned in to see down to Aro.

"Just because I am doing you a favor doesn't mean that I have to agree to your ways of 'virtue'" he used his hands to make air quotes around the word virtues. "You know very well why I'm here as I stated the other night. I could get up and leave at any moment. I wouldn't push it."

"You can't tell me how I run things this is my place and you will treat me as you ruler." Aro jumped from his seat. This was going to be a disaster.

"Not when I'm doing you a huge favor that your life may depend upon." The room was silent for a few moments before the whole room began fighting. I tried to push myself into the corner further. It was freaking me out, they were all talking so fast, and trying to kill each other. While they kept going at it, I saw someone coming towards me. I lifted my arms over my head, to protect me.

"Come on, lets get you back to your room." Thank god, it was only Jasper. I nodded weakly and we left the room. Walking down the hallway I could still hear the fighting. We got to my room and he lead me to the bed thinking that I would go into shock, or something. But I laid down any way and he went to sit in the chair across the room. I couldn't help but to look him over, he didn't seem in to bad of a shape. Though his eyes were still almost, or are black.

"Sorry you had to see all that, the meetings usually go that way." I simply nodded. "You don't talk much do you?"

"No, not much." My voice was very coarse and I didn't want to say anything to get me in trouble.

"Oh, well we should probably get you something to eat and drink." he started to get up and before anything could happen Aro burst into the room.
