A/N: Not owning Twilight. Keep those reviews coming.

Chapter 4: The Romanians.

Bella POV

As the drawbridge lowered more and more, fear trilled through my lifeless veins. Max stood next to me, Andy held tight in his grasp. When the drawbridge was completely lowered, 2 figures emerged from shadows, tall and foreboding.

"Come in. We have been waiting for you." The smaller of the 2 said. In a trance like state, I walked towards them. My inner was talking to me.

"Seriously scary vampires! You should use a deception power you have." She told me. Mentally I was staring at myself.

"Okay..I would like to use the deceptive power." I told her. She nodded, and when I opened my eyes, I saw into the minds of the 2 figures in front of us. Their thoughts betrayed who they were.

"Masters Stefan and Vladimir will enjoy the snack. The foolish mortals are coming closer, and the little child smells delicious." One thought, an inner demon raging to be fed. I cringed at his thought. He, however, had confirmed my suspicions.

"We are no mortals." I told him. "I merely am no ordinary vampire. We need to see the masters of this castle. I want to help start a war on the Volturi." I told them they nodded.

"You have seen through our deception young one. A true miracle. No one gets past the castles defenses. You may enter, all three of you." The one on the left said.

"Thank you sir." I replied as we made our way to the door. I clenched Max's hand tighter in my own, and as we brushed past them, I got a closer look. The one on the left had black hair cut short, eyes dark as the night. The one on the right had red hair, and eyes to match. In his human life, I was sure he was Irish.

"We shall escort you to the masters." The Irish looking one said.

"I am sorry, but I did not quite catch your names." I said to them. Max gawked at me. I knew what he was thinking, even without powers. I could just picture him saying 'what the hell Bella-Bear? Do you think we're here for tea and crumpets?'. Mentally I laughed. My inner scolded me.

"This is no time for laughing. Compose yourself before you meet them. They were royals, and will not put up with nonsense!" She exclaimed.

"You're really annoying you know that?" I told her coldly. She shut up after that. I took her advice though.

"Does she constantly zone out?" the dark-haired one asked? "We told her our names were Viktor and Aodh." He added. Okay, so I really need to work on talking with my inner.

"Sorry for being rude, I was thinking." I said. I looked around, and realized we had entered the castle. It was truly magnificent, with the high ceilings, and the ornate tapestries lining the walls. We were led to a door at the end of the one hallway. I assumed that we were headed to the throne room.

"The masters shall see you now." They said in unison. I cringed as the door opened, creaking on its old hinges. We entered the room. I took in how it looked. It was a small room, with 2 high-backed chairs, which I only assumed were thrones. Two figures sat on them, near statues.

"Masters, these vampires wish to talk to you about the Volturi. They want to help you take them down." The Irish one said.

"Well then, what are we waiting around for Aodh?" One of the figures said. He turned around, cloaked in shadows. "We must speak of this in private. Brother Stefan?" he questioned.

"Here Brother Vladimir." A voice rang out. We looked around the room, when a figure jumped from the rafters. He was dark-haired, and quite short. "Is it true of what they speak?" he asked. His voice started to give me chills. It was whispery and ancient, reminding me of Aro. His companion stepped into the light. His hair was pale and ashy looking.

"I suppose. Aodh can you see the truth?" Vladimir asked. My inner started talking to me

"Lift up your shield. Show trust." She commanded. I complied. Aodh looked at me strangely.

"They all speak the truth. This brunette will be quite helpful. She has many powers. The man also has quite promising talent. The child however, is mortal." He said, a hungry expression on his face. Max held Andy closer as I glared at him.

"Tell your servant he must leave our daughter alone." I said to the royals. They had cross looks, but said to Aodh

"Leave her be. We do not want to offend the young ones. And what might your names be?" he asked.

"I'm Isabella, that's my brother Maxwell, and the little girl is my adopted daughter Andrietta." I said. They looked curiously.

"Strange. She has an old royal name. The vampire queen was Andrietta." He said. (A/N: Just made up the vampire queen. XD) Stefan had a peculiar look on his face.

"She also reminds you a bit of Elena, doesn't she?" Vladimir asked Stefan. He looked away sharply. (A/N: Ha-ha Elena. Anyone know that name? It's from the same thing as Salvatore. XD)

"Yes..She does have a similar appearance." He agreed. Andy blushed lightly.

"Mommy said I always looked beautiful. She used to say any paler and you'll be a vampire!" she said giggling. The royals looked at her.

"And what." Vladimir said. "Was your mother's name?" he asked.

"Mommy was named Elena after her grandmother." Andy said proudly. Stefan digested this information.

"Then this." He said in a somewhat controlled voice "must be my granddaughter." He said.

Drew POV

In no time at all, I had arrived in Volterra. It took no time. I just wanted to savor the victory. I made my way to the entry to our underground hide-away. When I jumped down the pipe, I ran as quickly as I could to Aro. I wanted to see if Bella had arrived. I entered the throne room, feeling like a god.

"Greetings Master Aro, Master Caius, and Master Marcus." I said. I feigned happiness.

"Ah Drew! What a comfort to have you back!" Aro exclaimed jovially. I grinned.

"Yes. Is Isabella here? I hope she has arrived. I talked to her a few days ago." I said.

"……..no." Aro said. I was shocked.

"But I was sure…….I told her they hated her……I gave up my love for Mary for the good of the Volturi." I said dazed.

"You fell in love? How were you able to treat it like garbage? Truly you are amazing Drew. Well I do not think Isabella will be coming." Marcus said. Wait. MARCUS!? He NEVER talks. Ever. I looked at him, and he nodded. He knew my feelings for Mary. I knew my feelings for her.
