I don't own Twilight, I wish I did but I don't. That honor goes to Stephanie Meyer's.

Thank you all for your reviews, it is much appreciated

Aro was sitting in his thrown bored when Caius walked in with Jane, Alex, Felix and Demetri. His head shot up wondering what exactly the matter was when Jane spoke for all as she knew he would

"Master, we said in Seattle like you wished keeping an eye on the growing newborn army. We sadly got there too late for the battle and the Cullen's had gotten rid of them and their creator." She gave a fake look of sadness at not being able to help and the was bored so she continued "We spoke with the Cullen's for a bit, and I am sure you and your brothers will find it interesting that Bella Swan is still a human."

Standing up he nodded as Marcus spoke "The only reason we did not have you for drag her here or kill her was because Carlisle promised us she would be turned soon during his visit to persuade us to not kill his son. It has now been months, too long for a second chance with the Volturi. Even if she would possess a special gift Aro." Looking at him leaving the words to come to him

Nodding his head Aro spoke "You are correct brother" sighing sitting back in his chair "although I do believe Eleazar should accompany us on our visit. If this girl does possess a special gift I would like to know about it before it is too late." The brothers agreed in silence and Aro motioned for Jane to call for Gianni.

She walked in nervous like always trying to hide her shaking hands behind her back. "Yes my masters. You required my presence?" her eyes cast down to the ground knowing better than to look at anyone directly without being instructed too by one of the brothers.

Smiling amused, he always loved knowing the power he held over people. Human and Vampire alike "Yes Gianni" raising from his seat stepping down putting his white gloves on before walking towards her, his brothers following closely behind him "Please make arrangements for our jet to fly to Seattle Washington. We are going to be paying a long overdue to my dear friend Carlisle Cullen."

He turned to walk out as Gianni nodded her head "Yes Master, should I call Doctor Cullen for you to inform him of your pending arrival?" he stopped in his tracks turning slowly to face her smiling simply stating "No" then turning quickly the smile never leaving his face "it is a surprise visit" then in less than a second the three brothers were gone and Gianni was left alone with her task as she rushed off to call the airport before the brothers and their guards arrived.

Getting to the airport the three brothers and Aro's shadow Renta, whom moves as though the tips of her fingers were sewn to his robe, were lead by Jane and Alec and followed closely by Felix and Demetri. The eight of them quickly boarded the plane all wondering if the smallest Cullen had yet foreseen their pending arrival.

**Forks**

It was the end of the school day and she hadn't seen Edward since she'd found out Friday that she was adopted. She pretty much had ignored the world; she was angry and confused at first and didn't want anyone fawning over her. Sighing she knew Edward had been worrying about her since she told him what happened and requested he left her alone. Getting in her old rusty truck she knew that she should probably go and visit him and the rest of the family. Alice kept texting her different things about how sorry she was and that she couldn't see anything about her real parents. Bella laughed silently to herself, how could she? That was all the past right? Shaking her head she headed down the road slowing down right before the turn to their private residence. She drove in silence for a minute before the house came into view, sighing seeing Edward and Alice on the porch waiting on her.

Alice hopped down swinging her door open hugging her tighter than normal "Oh Bella! Don't worry about being adopted, no one would ever think of you differently" smiling as she kissed her cheek before prancing away leaving her alone with Edward.

Standing there stunned Bella looked at Edward confused "Why would Alice think I was worried about being treated differently?" biting on her lower lip pulling her book bag out before shutting her door locking it up. Turning back to Edward waiting on his answer tapping her foot slightly.

Looking down at her with concern clearly in his eyes "After you called and told me you were adopted and needed to be alone Alice decided to read on how it can affect normal people. She came across a section where a girl found out later in life that she was adopted as a infant and pushed everyone away when they all became overly concerned about her" shrugging his shoulders "I guess she thought you would try to push us away when you told me you didn't want to see anyone for a while." He looked at her rubbing her arm before pulling her towards the house slightly leading the way.

Once inside he reached down holding her hand in his own for the first time and froze feeling a ring on her right hand holding her small hand up to his line of sight he slowly examined the ring feeling familiar to it. Then he saw the symbol that was imprinted on the side. He looked at her confused "where did you get this ring Bella?" He looked concerned and almost angry with the fact she was wearing it.

Stuttering a bit she looked at him "I..I got it in my adoption file" swallowing her nerves pulling her hand back running her left hand over the ring instinctively checking to make sure it was alright. "My real family left it with me on a chain at the orphanage and Charlie and Renee kept it from me until recently. Edward grabbed her arm pulling her through the house without speaking to her. She didn't know what to expect, but she never thought he would grab her like that. Even more so that he would drag her to the family room, now standing in front of the entire family she nervously moved from foot to foot as Edward spoke to Carlisle "Please tell her she needs to get rid of… of that!" pointing at her ring.

Carlisle stood up "Edward calm down" looking at the ring briefly before quieting. Edward took the opportunity to speak again "She said it came for her real family in her adoption paper work. Did the Volturi ever mark future prospects?" he asked almost nervously "Could they have killed her real parents and marked her in this way?"

Everyone started talking over her head and Bella was getting frustrated stood up and screamed for a second before calming down looking at Edward "..About?" crossing her arms staring at him "and no, I am not taking the only thing I have of my past off, before you ask again" Edward never got the chance to answer when Alice went still grabbing on to Jasper for support.

Coming out of it she stared at Bella "they are coming for her, the Volturi. They are coming now, maybe 5 minutes." Swallowing nervously she walked over to her "Bella, please take off the ring. The reason everyone is panicking about it is because…." She reached down holding Bella's right hand pointing out the side of the ring "it has the symbol of the Volturi on it" shaking her head "You'll be punished for even wearing something that belongs to them if they see it Bella"

Shaking her head crossing her arms "Well, I am not taking it off Alice. Since my life has apparently had interaction with vampires long before I met you all. Maybe the Volturi can explain what happened to me" she stood stubbornly, she didn't know why she was being so stubborn but she felt her blood boil at the thought of running or hiding right now.

"Bella Please!" Alice began to beg as there was a sturdy knock on the door as it opened with the three brothers of the Volturi stood there. The man in the middle smiling at Bella "Hello old friends and you must be Bella, pleasure. Sorry but I overheard the last part of your conversation, what is it you think we can explain about you" his red eyes glistening with amusement.
