Hey guys!!! HERE IT IS!!

I swallowed my nerves and started walking towards the closed ballroom doors. Felix and Demetri were standing outside. Felix smiled at me, "you look stunning." I gave him a weak smile.

"He's right," Demetri said. "The red contrasts with the blue in your eyes beautifully." I again only smiled. "Pay attention to Aro," he continued. "It'll calm your nerves." I nodded and listened.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, this ball was not just to act as a family reunion, but to do something more. I would like to introduce a new member of the Volturi family, and one of the most powerful Volturi's in existence. Please welcome Bella Volturi."There it was. I winked at Felix and Demetri and they opened the doors. It took all my willpower not to gasp. The ballroom was pure white. Anything with color was taken out of the room. All the attendants were wearing white. Aro made sure I would be the center of attention. On the outside though, I only smiled. The crowd was huge and I heard gasps go throughout the crowd. I was used to it. My beauty was kind of blinding, not to be conceited. I heard a glass shatter. I started to smile and walk down the stairs. This wasn't so bad. I decided to have a little bit of fun. My smile went from polite to mischievous. I winked at a pack of boys on my right and smiled a winning smile to the girls next to them. I started to turn to my other side but Aro caught me. He muttered in my ear

"Behave. Do you not see the present I gave you? So much power you have yet to absorb. Grab as much as you can." Then a little louder he said "I will take the first dance."

I smiled and nodded. When the music began, the silence continued. Soon after, Alec and Jane joined in. Then a brawny vampire and his beautiful mate joined in. His mate was beautiful. She had long blonde hair and there was something about her smile…it was so…so real. They were in love, how cute. I smiled and Aro whirled me around. And that's when it happened. It was like everything in the world, even Alec disappeared. It was when I saw him for the first time. Alec meant nothing to me now. I realized what I felt for Alec was not real. I saw the light. I saw love. I saw him.

EDWARDS POV

We got there an hour early. Emmett was already playing with the neck of his white tux. I laughed, "Hey Emmett," I said. "I bet you 20 bucks you can't go the whole day without playing with your outfit." He grinned.

"You're on" he said. Turning down a bet for him was like a drug addict saying no to crack. Alice rolled her eyes.

"Emmett, you owe Edward 20 bucks." Emmett's mouth fell open.

"HEY PSYCHIC, YOU'RE VISIONS ARE SUBJECTIVE! Why don't you go focus your little visions to see whether or not Jasper will say no to rock the bed with-"Alice snarled.

"I'M SORRY!" She yelled. "WAS I THE ONE WHO GOT YELLED AT BECAUSE THEY GAVE IT TO THEIR MATE IN THE ASS?!" I couldn't hold it in. I cracked up. Emmett growled.

"At least I GET SOME." That did it. Alice walked past us over to Jasper and crushed her lips against his. His eyebrows went up in shock, but not for long. Soon after Jasper picked Alice up and they began to walk off." Emmett's mouth dropped again.

"Guess she proved YOU wrong." I muttered.

"SHE IS NOT DOING IT!" I just rolled my eyes. 45 minutes later Alice and Jasper walked towards me and Emmett.

"Guess who gets some tonight?" Before Emmett could respond the devil showed up. Aro was walking towards us. We got up slowly and joined the rest of our family.

"MY FRIENDS!" he said "Thank you for coming. I have arranged for animal blood to be served to you. I remember your preferences." He then handed us a glass of blood. I took it hesitantly. He continued.

" Has my mindreading friend here or my vision seeing buddy tried to guess my surprise?" I smiled a fake smile and said

"Actually your mindreading friend could care less about your surprise. I'm sure it is just as dumb as your other surprises." I immediately got smacked in the back of the head by Carlisle while Esme began apologizing. Aro just smiled,

"We'll see." He walked off and the announcer began talking. He introduced the entire Volturi family. Then down the ballroom staircase came Miss Bitch herself. Jane and her brother Alec walked down the stairs. I had to admit; even though I hated her she looked quite nice today. Then Aro began to speak.

""Ladies and Gentlemen, this ball was not just to act as a family reunion, but to do something more." Emmett nudged me.

"50 bucks he got a new wife." I grinned

"You're on." I then continued to listen to Aro.

"I would like to introduce a new member of the Volturi family, and one of the most powerful Volturi's in existence. Please welcome Bella Volturi." The doors opened…and there right in front of me…was her. I dropped my glass on the floor and it shattered, but that was the last thing on my mind. She walked down the stairs, an angel in red. Her brown ringlets of hair cascaded down to her waist. And her eyes…they were BLUE! I had to ask Carlisle how that happened. I saw her throw a mischievous smile on and I smiled myself. In the moments I saw her for the first time it was like nothing was wrong in my life. All that mattered was me and her. God, she was STUNNING. I watched her waltz with Aro. He said something to her and she laughed. I gasped. Jesus Christ her laugh was angelic. So pure… Jasper nudged me.

"If you find her attractive, make your move now before Alec gets her." I glanced over and saw him looking at her approvingly. The thoughts he was thinking about her made me see red. I turned my head away to look at her again, and noticed she was looking at me. We made eye contact. It was like a stake that was put through my heart was taken out. Relief flooded through my body and was replaced with this warm tingly sensation. Jasper nudged me again. He was right; I had to make a move now. I took a deep breath and walked towards the angel…The angel that had stolen my heart from me.
