I told them everything about Alec. I told them how we met and about the movie night. Jasper insisted to drive so Alice and I could talk and he would have something to do. Alice told me more about their vacation. They had been down to the Mariana Trench and seen squids with 10 arms. Jasper joined in on our conversation as a real girl. He told us in more detail what they had seen.

It was now I noticed Alice's attire. Her short black hair was in pigtails tied with pink ribbon. She had white boots on. Her socks were black and pink striped and reached just above her knees. She had a black skirt with faded red skulls. She had a big black belt on as well. She was wearing a simple pink t-shirt. She had on her Cullen crest choker and a big necklace with a sort of cathead on, which lay on her stomach.

I had to laugh.

"Oh, Bella I'm glad you like my outfit, because I bought you something similar." Alice said with devilish smile. My face went from fun to horror. She couldn't make me wear that. She couldn't make me do things she had made me do over the past years but now I say stop.

"No Alice" I said trying to make my voice stern but failed miserably. Her smile just grew. I seriously thought she was feeding of my hatred of shopping.

"Help me Jasper." I begged.

"No can do. She will kill me." He said and I looked at his clothes. He was sporting a pair of army shorts, a white wife beater and rainbow coloured suspenders.

I was dumbfounded. "Alice did you make him wear that?"

"Yes, it looks good on him."

"Who are you and what have you done with my fashion minded friend?" I joked. I never thought Alice would allow him to wear that. Alice clearly didn't like the joke.

"It is fashion. I saw someone in Japan wearing that." Alice said with a pout.

Alice guided Jasper through the street of Volterra to the castle. I felt mad when we approached the castle.

"Jasper why are you making me mad?!" I shouted but I couldn't help it.

"I'm just mad at this Aro person. You shouldn't have witnessed that." He said and I felt calm again. We left the car in the basement and Alice guided us to the throne room.

"Isabella I must have a word with you" Aro said as we entered the room. His voice was full of concern and worry.

I felt sick being in this room again. Though it was clean and spotless, it still made me feel queasy inside, but tried to push it aside. It didn't seem like Aro had noticed my guests/his surprise.

"Ah, Alice! What a pleasure. And this must be Jasper your mate." Aro said and reached out his hand for them to shake. They both declined.

"Can we talk in the living room?" I managed to get out, trough clenched teeth. I felt like I was going to vomit.

Aro felt me uneasiness and we went next door. Luckily the room was empty. We sat down at the big dining table and Alice and Jasper joined us.

"I never meant for you to see that. I thought you were asleep and we needed to feed." Aro sincerely apologized.

"It's okay." I said even though it wasn't. I couldn't help but feel like a teenager having a fight with my dad. I knew this wasn't over and I wasn't looking forward to further discussing that.

"How can you let her see that?" Jasper bellowed. I knew he was mad and that it was a big deal – but it wasn't humongous.

"I never meant for her to see." Aro said as though we were discussing baseball.

"You still shouldn't risk it." Jasper said annoyed. I thought he was doing a great job with keeping his feelings at bay. I didn't feel his irritation at all. I was worried that Jasper might change his diet while he was here.

"Aro. Jasper and I were wondering if we could stay here for awhile." Alice happily said.

Aro's eyes lit up but before he could answer her Jasper spoke. "We are not joining you. We are simply asking if we could stay here for a bit since Bella is here."

Aro's excitement fell slightly but not entirely. "Well of course, you may stay here."

Then my phone rang. I looked and it said 'home'. My heart speed quickened. "Excuse me." I said and caught Alice's eyes, they were shining.

"Hello?" I answered the phone. Was it wrong that I hoped it was some sadistic vampire and not my mom? I had a feeling of why she was calling.

"Bella? It's mom." she said with no hint of her emotions.

"mom." I scolded, I don't like it when people call me Bella. I was scared of what she was going to say, she didn't know I was in Italy, did she?

"Do you want to explain to me why you are in Italy?" she said, demanding an answer.

"Um... you see... I…" What is a good excuse for going to Italy all of a sudden?

"Well?" my mom asked impatiently.

"I got accepted to a college?" it sounded like a question. I hoped she bought it.

"Oh! Great! Which one?" she asked and I couldn't remember the name of the college.

"University of Volterra?" again it sounds like a question.

"Okay." It didn't sound like she bought it. "Next time, please let me know when you decide to leave the country." She sounded a little angry. There was slight pause and when she spoke again she sounded happy. "When can I come and visit?"

My heart stopped. I couldn't answer that. 'Mom you can't come because I live in a castle full of vampires.'

"You and Phil? Visit?"

"Yeah! We were planning to go to Europe for our second honeymoon and then we could visit."

OH SHIT

I heard a door slam behind and Jasper and Alice exited the room. "Invite her." Alice sang as she and Jasper danced down the halls. I just stared after her.

I decided to trust Alice and her future-seeing power.

"Yeah mom, you can just come. I have time." I said and hoped she didn't notice my apprehension. I remembered the ball. "Just not in 3 weeks. I don't have time there." I quickly said. I don't think I could pass the big ball of as a dorm party.

Then mom switched back from mom mode to best friend mode. "Is Edward with you? Did he get in too?"

"No, he and I broke up. Listen mom I gotta go." I hurried. I didn't want to talk about Edward with her. I felt like I was over him and I could talk about him, just not about what he did. I hadn't told anyone anything. The only ones who knew were the Cullens, because they were there when it happened.

I could just kill the bitch

I have to watch my language. But still… I could kill her instead of Edward and then that would hurt Edward. He left me because of her and then he comes back and then leaves me again for her. How could he do something like that to me? I would never do that to anyone. I would never believe Edward to be a player, but I guess I was wrong. So wrong. I thought I could read people well, and especially Edward. So wrong.

I hope that if I ever got together with Alec that he would treat me right, just as I would him. I just hope that I have read Alec right. He seemed like a real man. The moment I laid eyes on him my idea of perfection changed. Mr. Right got a name. Alec. Not only did he get a name. He got a face and body and what a body. The day I walked in on him I got a nice view of his 8-pack. He wasn't overly pumped but he did have a lot of muscles and big strong arms.

I would love to have those strong arms around me, protecting me. I hoped he was the possessive type. I have never liked it when Edward was being just a little possessive, but I wouldn't mind it with Alec. If I was with a guy like that I wouldn't mind people to know that I was his or that he was taken.

But that was only 'what if's'. He would never want a girl like me.

I went back into the living room and found Aro, probably waiting for me. I sat down opposite him and waited for him to start speaking.

"Are you sure you're okay?" he asked and reached for my hand.

"No" I simply said.

His face was a mixture of confusion and understanding. "I don't quite understand."

"I don't have a problem with your diet" oddly enough. "I just didn't like seeing it in action."

"But Isabella that will be you next year." He said with care.

"NO" I protested. "That will never be me" I stood abruptly from the table and went down to the garage. I was going to my room but I was hungry. I was mad at Aro for thinking that I would take part in a massacre. I needed to blow off some steam.

I drove through the small town and found a place to park. I walked through the street and the Italians were very nice. They all greeted me and were welcoming. I found a small but cosy café and got a table. I felt very lonely sitting well… Alone. I wished that I had someone to do these things with.

"May I join you?" a man with blond hair and blue eyes said.

"Yeah" I said. He was nice but I hoped I wasn't mixed signals, I wasn't interested in dating.

He sat down and stuck his right hand out for me to shake. "Louis"

"Isabella" I said. No nickname. We shook hands and I couldn't help but noticed that his hand was extremely cold.

We chatted for 2 hours about everything but still nothing. We talked about the weather and the current movies in the cinema. He tried to take my hand on several occasions but I always took it back just before he would touch. He was like Mike the second. He tried to make many moves, but I tried to ignore them. He was really nice but I didn't learn anything more about him than his name. I didn't feel like seeing him ever again so I didn't give him any information about me.

Towards the end I was getting uncomfortable. He kept hinting to continue else where. Whether it was at the bowling alley or at his place I don't know.

I stood from table and bed him goodnight and he didn't. I was slightly scared. He followed me to my car. And he wasn't walking beside me.

I walked quicker and quicker and I was almost running. Louis was increasing his step as well. I was scared what he would do I caught me. Would he rape me? Would he kill me?

While I was running I pulled out my phone wanting to call a guard but I realised I didn't have a number to one. I called jasper, no answer. I called Alice, no answer. I was panicky. I could see my car now. I ran faster and so did he. I tried to pull my keys out of my purse but with my coordination that was bound to be a failure. I stumbled and fell to the ground.

He caught up with me.

He leaned over me, smiling. "Do you know what I'm going to do to you?"

I shook my head out of pure fear. I was unable to form words. I opened my mouth but nothing came out.

"I'm going to fuck and then I'm going to make you a vampire." He said and I froze. How could I not have noticed his red eyes before? I cursed myself mentally for parking in an alley.

I finally found my voice and now I wasn't afraid yell his name. "ARO!" I shouted at the top of my lungs.

I wanted to call for Alec but I knew he wasn't here. Now it was the vampire's turn to freeze. "You know" he said. It wasn't a question but more of a statement. I tried to block him out and continued to scream for help and Aro.

Now I screamed for the one person I begged to come. "Alec!"

He grabbed my hands and pinned them above me. He was leaning to kiss me, when I felt him being pulled away from me.

I heard Louis complain in the background that he could see. Or hear. I was afraid to open my eyes.

I felt myself being lifted from the ground and in to a pair of arms. I dared to open my eyes.

"Alec?"
