Bella

I had many powers. I knew that Alice wouldn't be expecting a visit from the Volturi. She would be expecting a visit from a young "vegetarian" vampire. I would be that girl. Boy, was I good at manipulating Alice into thinking otherwise. I had the power of manipulation. I could manipulate Alice and make her have false visions. I could manipulate thoughts to make Edward hear fake thoughts. You name it.I had the power to block mental thoughts so I didn't have to hear those thoughts. I never used that power, the power of mind-reading.

Later, I would show as Princess Isabella Marie Volturi. During my transformation to a vampire, my hair changed into a mahogany-brown color. In my Curse Caster and Curse Breaker form, it was still that dull brown hair I had as a human. I arrived at Denali and knocked the door.

As usual, Alice opened the door. Of course, she had been expecting me. "We are going to have so much fun! I could see it," replied Alice. I smiled to myself. Perfect.

"But I'm not staying," I told her kindly.

She looked confused. "Of course you are," she replied.

"Please introduce me to the family first," I replied.

"OK!" she replied.


Alice

The girl and I were going to have so much fun. I could see that. I opened the door. There was the girl.

"We are going to have so much fun! I could see it!" I told her.

She smiled. "But I'm not staying," she whispered.

What does she mean? Of course she's staying. "Of course you are," I replied.

Instead, the girl just said, "Please introduce me to the family first."

"OK!" I said happily. I went to find my family.


Bella

"Hello, you must be the young vampire that Alice told us about," Carlisle, the curious one, replied. I went to listen to his thoughts. Hmm...she is curious...

"Yes, I am," I replied.

"I am Carlisle. Over there is my sons Edward, Emmett, and Jasper. Next to them are Alice and Rosalie. Over there is Tanya and her mate Patrick. And on the floor are Kate and Irina," said Carlisle, pointing to each person one by one. Edward looked sad.

I noticed that this Patrick they speak of is a human. Perfect. My target.

"Now tell me, Carlisle, why is this Patrick human?" I asked. "Wouldn't the Volturi find out and kill him?"

This time, Alice spoke. "Now, now, Lisa, it won't happen. I can't see the Volturi coming. If they were coming, I can see that," replied Alice.

"How did you know my name?" I asked, pretending to be curious.

"I looked into the future and found you telling me your name," replied Alice. Perfect. Suddenly, my phone rang. Ring! I looked. It was Daddy.

"I have to take this," I said calmly. I saw Edward squint his eyes in suspicion. Yikes! "Excuse me."

I got up, and went outside to answer the phone. "What is it, Daddy?"

"Have you finished your mission, my dear?" asked my Daddy.

"Not yet, Daddy. Soon though. Daddy, where can I hunt to not arouse suspicion?" I asked sweetly. I wasn't about to slaughter humans in this area. Too many people would notice.

"I suppose in the city. But you'd be home soon," replied Daddy.

"OK, Daddy. Love you," I replied.

"Love you, too, my dear," replied Daddy. We hung up. Suddenly, I noticed the slightest movement. Drats! Someone has been spying on me. Looks like I would have to finish this mission quickly.

Edward (during the conversation)

"Hello, you must be the young vampire that Alice told us about," Carlisle replied. I went to listen to his thoughts. Hmm...she is curious... Interesting. I wonder what Carlisle thinks of this girl. She seems normal enough, with gold eyes and black hair. She's a vegetarian, from her gold eyes. Alice told us she was a nomad. We were sitting in the living room listening to the girl.

"Yes, I am," I heard the girl reply. What a voice! Wait, but she's not Bella. And I couldn't read her mind. What?

"I am Carlisle. Over there is my sons Edward, Emmett, and Jasper. Next to them are Alice and Rosalie. Over there is Tanya and her mate Patrick. And on the floor are Kate and Irina," said Carlisle, pointing to each of us. I could hear Carlisle's thoughts. Too bad Bella's not here. Edward, you're lonely.

I noticed the girl's eyes widen just a bit as Carlisle talked about Patrick.

"Now tell me, Carlisle, why is this Patrick human?"I heard the girl asked. "Wouldn't the Volturi find out and kill him?" As you wish.

This time, Alice spoke. "Now, now, Lisa, it won't happen. I can't see the Volturi coming. If they were coming, I can see that," replied Alice. All I've been seeing is this Lisa and how she is going to be my new best friend.

"How did you know my name?" said the girl curiously.

"I looked into the future and found you telling me your name," replied Alice. Yes, I did find out her name. P Suddenly, we could hear a phone ringing. It was just a plain ring. I saw the girl-Lisa-widen her eyes as she glanced at the caller ID.

"I have to take this," she said calmly. I squinted my eyes in suspicion. I thought she didn't have any family. "Excuse me," she said and sccuried outside to take the call. I stealtily followed her.

"What is it, Daddy?" I heard her say into the phone. Daddy?

The voice on the other end of the phone seemed oddly familiar. I brushed that idea aside. "Have you finished your mission, my dear?" asked her daddy. What mission? I wasn't aware that Lisa was on any mission.

"Not yet, Daddy. Soon though. Daddy, where can I hunt to not arouse suspicion?" I heard her ask her daddy sweetly. What? She should know that there are plently of animals around here. She could hunt all she wanted and wouldn't arouse suspicion.

"I suppose in the city. But you'd be home soon," replied her daddy. In the city? I wasn't aware that there were animals in the city. Plus, I thought she was a nomad.

"OK, Daddy. Love you," I heard her reply a few seconds later.

"Love you, too, my dear," her daddy responded. They hung up. I quickly ran off as she turned her eyes around. Perhaps she had spotted me.


An hour later, we talked through my suspicions. Lisa had left to go "hunting" as she claimed.

"But Edward, she seems innocent enough," replied Alice. "I could see."

"I don't know. She was talking to her 'daddy' earlier. I thought there was something weird about their talk," I replied.

"I don't know. I think she's OK," replied Carlisle. Suddenly, I saw Alice's eyes widen. She had seen a vision. I scanned her thoughts.

A girl of about 18 was here. She had a blood red hood. When revealed, it was Lisa. Only she didn't really look like Lisa. She had blood red eyes and mahogany hair.

"Volturi," I whispered. "She's Volturi."

"I don't think so," whispered Carlisle.


Bella

I went hunting. It was the best. I decided that Alice needed to know I was coming. So, I send a right vision into her mind. I knew they would be suprised. I changed back into my real appearence and put on my hood. I knocked on the door.

Edward

Knock! Knock! The pounding on the door interrupted our thoughts. We concluded that Alice's vision was false. Lisa was practically harmless. She had gold eyes. She wouldn't change her diet suddenly, and somehow suddenly join the Volturi. All of us, including the Denali clan, were still in the sitting room.

Alice bounded to the door, sure it was Lisa. When opened, it was a girl in a blood red hood. She took it off. When revealed, it was Lisa, with crimson eyes and mahogany hair. "Hello Cullens. Hello Denali Clan," she said with a cold voice.

Alice was suprised. "Lisa?" she asked.

Lisa laughed a sinister laugh. "I'm afraid I haven't been quite honest with you. I am not Lisa, but actually the Princess of the Volturi, come to offer you a few choices regarding your human Patrick. You will either change the human, or I'll do it for you. Or I'll kill him for you. Human, I'm afraid that if your mate here tries to stop you, I will kill both of you. Or if all of you try to stop me, I will kill all of you. I won't stop until the human is either a vampire, or dead. The alternative choice, I'm afraid, is for me to curse you," she said with great spite.

"Who gave you authority to kill Patrick?" I asked, annoyed.

"My father Aro gave me full permission," replied Lisa (Princess).

Carlisle was the first to recover. "Never!" he exploded.

"Then I have no choice then to kill the human," replied the Princess. She stood in front of Patrick.

"No!" cried Tanya. "Not Patrick!"

"Stop! You don't have any mercy! You don't know what it's like to have a dead mate. You don't know," I heard myself explode.

"Well, Edward, I do. Human, I will spare you today. However, I will curse you, since Aro is not that cruel," replied the Princess. "But not in my vampire form." Suddenly, there was a blinding flash and the princess changed into a human. She had brown eyes and brown hair. She looked like Bella!

"Bella!" I cried.

Everyone turned to me. Esme felt compassion. Carlisle was amazed. Emmett thought I was crazy.

"What did you call me?" the princess asked.

"Aren't you Bella?" I asked.

"Now Edward, it is Princess to you. But yes, I am Isabella Marie Swan Volturi, Princess of the Volturi. You hurt me. I will first curse the human, and than leave," replied the princess (Bella).

She took out a wand and chanted words. Patrick fell to the ground.

"Bella!" I cried, horrified.

"It's Princess to you," replied Bella. She changed back into a vampire.

Look, thought Carlisle. She drinks human blood.

"You drink human blood," I replied.

"Yes, I do. I must go," replied Bella. Without another word, she disappeared. Bella! I had to get her back!
