A.N:I'm so sorry people, my laptop's Internet has gone crazy and then I lost all my files and I've been having to read a novel for nglish even though it's the holidays so I'm sorry it's later, but it is twice as long as normal :D

Disclaimer: I never have, nor ever will own twilight

Aro was wearing a long black robe that held quite a contrast to his almost translucent skin. He pursed his lips then noticed the guests as he approached he cried in a proud voice "Jane, dear you've returned!" as he flowed towards us the rest of the group convoyed behind him.

Aro walked towards me and took my face in his hands before kissing me softly on the lips, he floated back a step ''Yes master'' I smiled using my vampire acting skills to hide how much I disliked his affectionate display, I let my grin grow bigger as I thought of how well I was hiding my thoughts, It was not that I did not like Aro it was just that we had guests and the greeting seemed quite informal, I continued with what I was saying ''I brought him back alive, just as you wished.'' I was pleased that my master was happy.

Aro grinned back ''Ah, Jane. You are such a comfort to me.'' His eyes brightened and he rejoiced ''And you brought back Alice and Bella too'' he smiled clapping his hand together. ''This is a happy surprise! Wonderful!'' Bella's face showed shock as Aro said their names casually as if they were old friends. He turned to Felix who was sulking ''Please fetch my brothers; I'm sure they wouldn't want to miss this.''

Felix bowed slightly as he responded with a quiet ''Yes master''

Aro turned to Edward and questioned whether he was happy that Aro had refused his request seen as Bella was alive, I was busy watching the humans expression, she didn't wince as Edward wrapped his arms around her or recoil away as he leaned close to her in fact she rested her head on his chest. She knew we were monsters but she didn't show signs of fear or interest she did not look like one to black mail, yet what surprised me was that she could love one of our kind, a vile bloodsucking killing machine, one who had once hunted and killed her kind, she knew and yet she still leaned on him, she still loved him, she was calm.

''I love a happy ending, they are so rare yet how did it happen? Alice you brother thinks your powers are flawless but you had a mistake, how?'' Aro sighed.

''I'm far from perfect yet I try to fix problem as much as possible'' Alice chimed with a wide smile, she looked so at ease yet her knuckles were white with how tight she had them clenched.

''Ah you are far too modest Alice your powers are phenomenal'' Aro praised.

Alice looked at Edward questionably, Aro notice and continued '' Sorry we haven't been introduced properly, my power shares similar qualities as your brother, except I can only hear your thoughts if I am touching you and I can hear any thought you've ever had.'' Alice stared at Aro for a few second processing this information, then realisation dawned on her face.

Alice raised her eyebrows and her mouth formed an O shape. All of a sudden we started to turn noticing Caius and Marcus's entrances; they wore black robes similar to Aro's.

''Marcus, Caius look Bella is alive and well isn't that wonderful?'' Aro questioned. I had to hid my amusement as I glanced at their faces for I do not think wonderful was a word they would have used.

Aro ignored them and prompted the Cullens ''Let us hear the story''

Caius turned and sat in his chair, his snow white hair resting on his shoulders. Marcus walked to Aro and presented his hand, Aro touched his palm and his brow rose obviously displeased at some of his thoughts. Marcus the proceeded to sit near Caius, he looked purely uninterested with the situation as if he just wished to retire to his room, or punish someone instead of listen to the story.

''Amazing!'' Aro stated beaming with joy.

Bella looked at Edward with a puzzled look on her face ''Marcus sees relationships and ours took him with surprise.''

I sucked in a large breath of air although I did not need it, for it was an extremely rare chance that Marcus has ever had relationship intensity shock him.

I zoned out of the conversation, Aro was questioning Edward on how he stood it, la tua cantante, his singer. Then it proceeded on to the topic of Carlisle. It was not that I was uninterested just that I was amazed at how well Edwards self control was, for that I envied him, yes I could stand a few humans but if I was to meet my singer, well I feel that there would be no doubt that I would kill them right there, yet Edward had met her in a room full of a great amount of humans and was able to restrain himself. He has even tasted her blood and been able to stop himself form killing her even in mid feast, and once again he managed to stand it when she cut her arm. Also I envy that he can get that close to a human, he kisses her, holds her, lies with her and she is still alive. Amazing!

Suddenly the topic has changed ''May I?'' Aro asked with his palm out stretched he wanted to see if he could read his thoughts, Bella looked shocked and Edward looked furious.

''Ask her!'' Edward almost snarled.

''Bella?' 'Aro questioned turning to face the human, She looked from Edward to Aro, both who nodded. She outstretched her hand which I noticed was trebling. Aro brought it closer to him studying the thoughts I assumed that is until I saw his face falter a slight frown that turned into an intrigued smile. ''Interesting, I hear nothing'' he claimed my jaw almost dropped ''I wonder Jane?'' I grinned my power would be used today,although I was upset that the little human would have to feel a slight part of my wrath.

''Don't' Alice cried as Edward launched himself at me, I reacted protecting myself, glaring at him. Pain, death, loss, desperation, starvation, burning. He screamed falling to the floor.

''STOP!'' Bella screamed, close to tears, I would have her, voice made me guilty yet she is not my master, so my eyes stayed locked to my target. Alice held Bella not allowing her to move.

In a tranquil voice Aro whispered ''Jane'' I released my grip on Edward allowing him to be free of my wrath.

Sorry, I am, but my orders are orders. I thought, but Edward did not look at me.

I smiled at Bella trying to signify that Edward was fine yet I think I came across a slight bit psychopathic.

I started trying to hurt Bella not as intense as I had with Edward for that was possibly strong enough to give her a heart attack, but she just stared at Edward who was smiling like he had won the lottery, he was taunting me knowing that I was falling, I frowned, a human, stronger than me, wow.

''This is wonderful she confounds us all ''Aro stated although it was obvious, I hissed not because I was angry but because people expected me to be. ''Now now Jane, be nice.''

Aro offered a place in the guard for Alice Edward and even Bella; all of them decline, but then came the trouble of what to do. Bella was human and she knew too much the law states that the Cullens should be punished and the human, Bella, killed.

Aro asked if Edward was planning to change her, he paused the answer was obviously no, Bella tried to beg but Edward wouldn't speak. The Alice dace forward she smiled and presented her hand to Aro, they leaned towards each other not moving, Aro processing her thoughts.

''That was fascinating!'' Aro cried with excitement.

''Glad you enjoyed'' Alice responded.

''To see things that has yet to happen''

''Oh but that will I'm sure'' Alice retorted

Caius and Marcus tried to caution Aro but he believed Alice to be telling the truth.

Edward smiled asking ''Are we free to go?''

''Of course my good friend, Heidi is due to arrive soon'' Aro claimed.

Demetri lead them out holding the door for Heidi who was bringing our meals.

''Welcome to Volterra'' Aro sang, until the doors had been closed and bolted.

I grinned starring at a teenager whose eyes were roaming across my body. I turned to Alec then Aro they nodded. I dance forward a slight bit faster than the average human would, I stop right in front of him an stroked his face. His friends behind him whistled ''Get in there''

''Oh do you like what you see'' I taunted licking my lips. He gulped as if he was unable to talk.'' Mm so do I. You look as if you're going to be tasty'' I grinned, and his eyebrows drew together. I leaned my mouth to rest on his neck and I felt his heart rate increase. I opened my mouth and dug my teeth into his soft warm flesh.

I feasted to the sound of screaming.
