BPOV:

Bella had tried to remain quiet the entire time she was in front of Aro and Edward. Frankly, Aro scared the shit out of her. But Edward? Well she was just stunned into silence by his beauty. As he led her to his quarters she looked at all the pictures at all the passing walls and noticed dates that were hundreds and hundreds of years ago.

They soon arrived at one wing of the castle that was apparently just Edward's. He must be pretty damn important if he had a whole wing of the castle to himself. She entered quickly and stood by the door. Edward explained why she was here and what she was going to be doing. And as soon as he said he was more compassionate than the rest., she realized that maybe she really would make it out of this alive.

"Edward? Can I ask you a question?" Bella asked hesitantly after her finished explaining everything to her.

"Of course, that's what this whole meeting of the minds thing is about.." he said smiling at her.

"If you don't like to eat humans and all why do you stay around here? Don't you have someplace better to be?" she asked quietly looking at the ground. Maybe it wasn't the best thing for her to ask her new master, but he seemed pretty open at answering all of her questions.

Before answering Edward smiled down at the floor too, obviously remembering something that made him smile. "I do. I have a family that lives in Forks, Washington. Ive got 2 brothers and 2 sisters. And then my mother and father. We are all vampires. I miss them very much." he explained finally looking up at her, with a smile still on his face.

Bella remembered her mother, her mother was the reason she was here. But Forks! Forks was where her father lived..the father she was never allowed to see because he mom was a bitch. "My dad lives in Forks! But I lived in Phoenix, Arizona with my mom. Well why don't you go back to your family?" she continued to question.

That's when the frown appeared on Edward's face. Who knew someone could still look so beautiful frowning. "Because if I went home, my entire family would be killed. And I wont have that. Aro would either kill us all, or kidnap my sister Alice. Because he wants her too. I only came here to protect them." he admitted just loud enough for Bella's human ears to hear.

For some unknown reason Bella felt a magnetic-like pull that seemed to be forcing her to go sit next to him on the bed. Yes it was probably a dumb ass move that probably could have gotten her killed. But for another unknown reason she trusted Edward. A vampire. Who is her master. Who can easily kill her or beat the shit out of her. And she trusted him with her life. "That's nice of you to protect them. Why would Aro want to kill them though? I thought you and your family didn't harm people…" she said, trying to soothe his nerves without touching him.

"Because we are the most powerful coven of vegetarian vampires in the world. We're the largest. And we have an arsenal of powers. There are very few vampires that live off of animal blood, maybe only enough for me to count on my fingers discluding my family. And there is even less who live in a coven like we do. There is only one other vegetarian coven that I know of, and their smaller than us. Most vampires have a 'special' power. My family is loaded down with powers that we are very dangerous in a fight. I can read minds. My sister Alice, she can see the future. My brother Jasper, he can control everyone's emotions. Emmett is ungodly strong for an already strong vampire. Rosalie is ungodly beautiful even for a vampire. My mother Esme is so loving and caring. And my father Carlisle has more compassion than anyone in the world. So we are a threat to the vampire world. According to Aro, not me." he explained.

As soon as Edward spoke the words 'I can read minds', Bella literally paled. He probably knew that she thought he was the most beautiful person in the world and all that junk she's been thinking. It was so embarrassing!"

"Can you read my mind?" she asked tentatively.

"No. For some reason I cant. Ive been trying since you walked into the throne room." he said smiling.

Bella let out an exhale..thank god. She would have been so embarrassed if he could.

Edward looked at the clock and smiled. "Go jump in for a shower. Aro is getting impatient. He is ready to party. The things you see at this party tonight might disturb you, but if you want to talk about it when we get back we can. Also, don't work to hard on your hair, Im not supposed to be letting you shower. You'll find clothes in the dresser in your bedroom. Its just another white dress for now. Until I can find you something better. Im going to shower as well. Ill see you in a little."

Bella quietly got up off the bed and walked into her room, which wasn't as beautiful as his, but still beautiful. She appreciated this. She didn't want to sleep on a straw mattress or anything like you see in the movies. And he was going to get her nicer clothes. Maybe he liked her? That was the question of the moment. But now, it was time to keep up appearances and party with vampires. Her big question could be figured out later.
