"Hey everyone, Edward," I said softly.
"Bella!" Edward exclaimed, "What happened? How did they find you? Why did they change you? What are you doing here? I thought you were still in Forks and still human! This is all my fault," he ranted.
"Edward! What happened to me is definitely not your fault," Chelsea did the whole cough yes it was cough thing. "I came here on my own accord and asked them to change me. As for the last part, well I'll let Aro explain that to you. Which reminds me, the kings need to talk to you about something very important. Follow us." I motioned for them to trail behind Heidi, Chelsea, Bree, Demetri, Felix, and me.
"Wait! Bella please please please let me go!" Alec yelled.
"Fine," I sighed. I let him go and he sped off, probably to find some blood. I walked quickly toward the throne room with everyone following me. Aro, our guests have arrived. I thought towards him.
When we reached the double doors and I pulled. The doors didn't budge. I wiggled and pulled it some more but they still wouldn't open. I frowned, frustrated. I began frantically trying to pull the doors open.
"Bella, no need to break the doors, just push," Heidi said slowly. I pushed the doors and sure enough they opened. Demetri and Felix laughed and everyone else just giggled trying to stay silently. I walked in taking my place next to Aro. Carlisle, Emmett, and Jasper automatically pulled their respective others closer towards them.
"Welcome to Volterra my dear friends!" Aro said.
"Thank you for inviting us, Aro, Marcus, Cauis," Carlisle greeted. "I believe you know my family," he gestured towards them, "my wife Esme, our son Emmett and his wife Rosalie, our son Jasper and his wife Alice, and our son Edward. We have recently moved to a house right outside the walls of Volterra, not too far from the castle."
"Wonderful!" Aro smiled widely, "And of course I know your family but unfortunately, we were never acquainted." He walked towards them and grasped each of their hands in turn.
"Interesting," he mumbled. When he was finished, he walked back to his throne and stood in front of it. Behind him, Marcus had a look of curiosity about his face instead of his usual expression of boredom. Cauis had an expression of nonchalance. I guess it was somewhat better than his usual scowl that he wore.
"Well," Aro started, "I believe you all know Isabella here. She came to us asking to be changed and I offered her a place here as my daughter and the princess of the Volturi, and of the vampire world; also known as Lady Volturi to the humans. She had discovered that part of our newest guard members have been plotting against us. They are currently on a fake mission with Santiago and Jane, and will be back tomorrow. They mentioned that they were scheming with a woman named Tanya. We suspect that it is Tanya of the Denali coven. Do you have any reason to believe it true? We have heard that you were staying with them for a period of time." Carlisle hesitated then answered.
"When we were in Denali, it seemed as if Edward was under some sort of trance. He and Tanya were sort of 'together' but Edward wasn't himself. All he ever cared about was Tanya and if Tanya told him to do something, he would do it no matter what it was. One day, Tanya got increasingly mad at Eleazar and told Edward to do something about it. Edward got up and punched him in the gut." Carlisle shook his head, disappointed at the memory. Edward looked almost as if he was in physical pain. "The was he acted was as if he didn't care about the way he was brought up, which, in reality, he does completely. When he was with her, he was never a gentleman to anyone but her. He was also astonishingly rude to everyone except her. That kind of behaviour from Edward stunned me because he was never like that. He always acted the way he was raised in the early 1900s. When Esme and I made the decision to move here, to Italy, we were so glad Tanya chose not to come along. The moment our plane was airborne, Edward took a sharp intake of breath and started begging everyone for our forgiveness." Everyone turned their heads to Edward.
"The day we arrived in Denali," he started, "Tanya asked if she could talk to me and brought me out into the woods. I prepared myself to reject her once again but instead of trying to change my opinion about her, she just kissed me. I tried to get her off of me but then I felt myself losing control of my body. When she finally got off me, she told me to follow her and I did. I didn't want to but I couldn't help but to follow her. When we got back to the house, I kept saying things I didn't mean. She would think something to me and I would say or do whatever I could to make her happy. However, it wasn't me controlling my actions or words. Everything I said or did I tried to fight against. I felt so powerless. I still had my mind to myself, so when Carlisle and Esme announced we were moving, I felt so relieved. When Tanya said she didn't want to go, my mind felt happy but I felt incredibly upset if that makes sense. Tanya tried to persuade me into staying but I fought her will with as much as I could. The moment the plane was in the sky, it felt as if a great weight had been released from my shoulders. I knew my actions and behaviour had been incredibly rude and crude so I begged everyone for their forgiveness. When we arrived at our new house, Tanya called. I threw my phone to Jasper and told him to tell her I had gone hunting and left my phone at the house. Tanya didn't believe him because she knew I always took my phone and leave it in the car. Jasper looked at me and I shook my head trying to get him to understand I didn't want to talk to her at all. He told Tanya that the phone was dieing and hung up. I didn't want to take the chance of her being able to control me from so far away." He looked so scared, which made me want to cry. Edward was always strong willed, smart, and he was never frightened unless I was in danger. I suppressed the urge to hug him. Everyone aside from the Cullen's were too shocked to say anything so I spoke up.
"I believe we have confirmed who Adam and his allies were talking about and established her role in this. We now have reason to kill them all, though it pains me to say."
"I agree Princess," Cauis said. "We all know your hatred of violence but this is necessary. Tanya Denali, Adam, Christian, and Matt cannot be allowed to live. The Volturi will not be able to thrive as it has with their threat. We have learned to live with the Romanians in peace. Unfortunately, I think we can all agree that there is no way of reaching this with the new threats." Wow. Cauis actually seemed as if he didn't want to hurt them. Shocker.
"Felix," Aro called, "Get Jane for me please." Felix had his cell phone out with her number dialled in seconds.
"Be careful to warn her of their powers, Father." I stated. The Cullen's look at me bewildered but I ignored them. Aro nodded.
"Jane, we have come to the decision that the three traitors are not allowed to live. Please dispose of them. I know that with the help of Santiago, you should be able to end them quickly. Beware of their powers though. Use yours before they get a chance to use theirs. Once you have your power over them, they will be incapacitated and won't be able to do anything."
"Yes master," she replied over the phone. You could almost hear her smile from her reply.
"Call when you have finished your job and come right back." With that, Aro hung up. He turned to the rest of us.
"No we have to find a way to destroy Tanya Denali without getting into a fight with her sisters." He looked to anyone for suggestions.
"I know how we can do it," Jasper said being the military advisor. "We need to lure her away from her coven. Once we do that, someone needs to explain to her family what is happening and restrain them if they try to rescue Tanya. Meanwhile another group needs to ambush Tanya and dispose of her quickly before she can try anything." Aro nodded agreeing to his plan.
"Demetri, Felix," he commanded, "find Alec and Afton. I don't know which particular party Alec should be on considering his gift would be useful on both sides, but you four will be leading this mission." He turned to me, "Isabella, you should go with them. Your powers will be very useful. You won't have to fight. Just help Alec immobilize them." he turned around, "Would anyone else like to go?" he asked. Jasper, Emmett, Edward, and Alice raised their hands.
"That's good," he stated, "The more the merrier!" he laughed. "Get packing everyone!" I turned and sped off to my room.
"Bella!" Alice called after me. She followed me into my room but froze at the door. "This is your room?" she asked.
"Yea. Why? Does it not look nice?"
"No, this is wonderful! Where's your closet?" I couldn't help but giggle. Of course she would ask that. I pointed to the embroidered cloth doors in the back corner. Alice ran towards it but paused right before opening it.
"Wait," she began, "I need to talk to you. What happened?" I sighed.
"When Edward left, I became catatonic. I literally didn't do anything. After the first week of crying myself to sleep and waking up screaming from nightmares, I just stopped sleeping. I took caffeine pills to keep me awake and only slept a couple of hours a week. Charlie had me hospitalised because I wouldn't eat anything. The doctor found so much caffeine in my system. Charlie got really upset. He tried sending me back to my mom but I refused to go. After that I basically gave up. I left a note for Charlie and stepped on the plane to come here. After that, I asked to be changed and Aro offered to let me become the princess. I gratefully accepted and everyone treated my like family. I met three boys while shopping with Heidi and Jane and changed them thinking that one of them was going to be my mate. Then I found out he was just using me and that he was actually trying to kill my new family and me."
"Does that mean you're over Edward?"
"I don't know, Alice. I still love him but he doesn't love me so what's the point?"
"Bella, you may not believe me but Edward still loves you with all his dead heart. He only left to protect you from our kind, although that didn't work out so well."
"I'm sorry Alice. As much as I want to, I can't bring myself to believe that."
"Are we still sisters?" she looked at me hopefully.
"We never stopped," I smiled brightly at her I bent down to hug her. She squealed and hugged me tight before dashing into my closet.
