Hey, I just keep writing and updating, so this is the third chapter I have posted today. Enjoy!

Chapter 4

Acceptance

The following days were much better. Nick was allowed to hunt for me, I was not allowed out of the castle. They still didn't trust me.

For Cauis, that was an understatement. He hated me. That was closer to the point, but still a vast understatement. He had wanted to have me killed after what I did to him. Thankfully, Aro and Marcus had thought it was too much to waste.

Cauis thought that I should be forced to drink human blood, if I were to stay. I had tried to tell him I did not, in fact, want to stay. He hadn't listened.

My animal blood was brought in crystal glasses, and I assumed that the Volturi would try to poison it with human blood. I thoroughly checked each glass to make sure they would not try to feed me human blood without my knowledge. They hadn't tried yet, but I wouldn't trust them. Ever.

"Izzy, are you ready?" Nick asked me for the thousandth time. It was my first mission, and I wasn't ready. I had already told him that, but Nick had just smiled and told me everything would be fine. Nothing could ever be fine without Edward. I had kept my pain a secret, even from Nick.

"Okay, follow my movements exactly. Try to be quiet," Nick ordered.

We scurried from our position in an ally towards a large hedge. Nick had objected this being my first mission; he said the sun could make our pretty easy mission difficult. Cauis, Marcus, and Aro had said that "rain or shine, the Volturi have to work." They had proceeded to explain to me that any mission I had would not be put off by the sun.

When we reached the hedge, Nick stopped and pointed to our next location, a large and very leafy tree. We scurried up into its shielding branches.

"Izzy, the target will emerge out of that," he pointed to a gray stone office building, "in a matter of minutes. We will follow him until he reaches his hiding place and then report back to Aro."

We waited a few moments, and then a medium build, brown haired vampire emerged. I trailed Nick, copying his exact movements, as Nick followed the target.

He led us to an abandoned warehouse. Nick and I watched him go in, and then Nick crept forward.

"Hey, what are you doing? We are supposed to report back to Aro now, not attempt an ambush!" I hissed at Nick.

"Izzy, we have to make sure that this is the right place. Imagine going back and having the retrieval team walk into an empty warehouse." Oh, that made sense.

Nick continued to creep forward, and I followed silently behind. He peeked through a window, and then pulled back suddenly.

Without a word, he ran back to our hiding place.

"What, what is it?" what had caused Nick, one of the bravest vampires of the Volturi, to run away?

"We need to go now. No Izzy, don't look through that window!" he said I scurried up to take a peek.

I gasped. Inside was a large amount of vampires, all surrounding the target. The target was holding up a human boy, a kid that looked around eleven. The vampires' eyes were fixed on the boy.

I felt myself being pulled backward. I turned to look at Nick, who still had his hand on my arm.

"Izzy, we have to go. We can do nothing."

"No, we can save that boy! We have to save him," I added.

"There is too many of them. We NEED to report back to Aro."

"Fine! You go. I'll save the kid." I rushed towards the door of the warehouse, not entirely sure what to do.

I pulled the door off its hinges; I was in the mood to destroy stuff.

Eighteen eyes stared at me. Then seven of those eyes' bodies' rushed toward me. The man holding the boy stood still and let the other's attack me.

I sent them a memory of fear, and they all stopped at my feet, too afraid to go any further. This could be kinda fun. I then sent them a memory of the moment I had seen them looking at the boy, and the need to save him. They all turned at once toward the boy, ripping the man who was holding the boy arm's off. They then brought the kid to me. I sent everyone the disgust I had felt when I saw them staring at the boy, hunger in their eyes. A wave off hate rippled through the vampires, and they started pulling apart their bodies, heaping them in large piles, and setting them aflame.

"Well, I guess we don't have to send anybody to finish them. I'll contact Aro immediately," Nick said and pulled out his cell phone.

In a few minutes, five of the Volturi showed up, including Jane, Felix, and Heidi.

"I never thought I'd say this, but well done Isabella," Jane said as she looked around.

"How did you do this?" Felix asked, waving his hand in the direction of all the burning bodies.

"Memories can be quite strong. Hatred, even that of another, can turn even the most devoted couples apart. In this case, disgust of each other from my memories drove them to kill themselves," I explained, though I wasn't really sure myself.

Felix looked around again and whistled. Heidi seemed a bit put out about not doing anything, until the last vampire had trouble lighting his own fire, which she gladly helped him with.

Later, when Aro called me to the assembly room, he also congratulated me. He told me that on my wishes, the little boy would be returned to his family.

The next few months weren't so terrible. I was trusted after that mission. I was able to hunt, though I had to bring Nick, and I wasn't ever locked up in my room. Jane, Heidi, and a girl named Sarah and I became friends. It was the first time since my change that I felt that I belonged somewhere. And that was a very great feeling.
