Everything was set for tomorrow. People were starting to arrive now. they would be given rooms in the castle on the south side. Away from the ball room and the guards rooms. The guards' rooms were on the west side, where as the fathers' rooms were on the north side. The ball rooms and libraries and training rooms were on the east side. That was by far my favorite wing. Aro made sure that he redecorated one of the training rooms to be my bed room. I didn't complain though, I was actually quite surprised by the act of kindness.
In some ways you could say that Aro really was a father to me. He always supported me when I decided on something. He gave me money when I started Beautiful Lamb. He even let me visit Charlie. And he didn't hate me when I told Charlie everything about us. He understood. I think it was because Charlie was so old and I had promised that he wouldn't do anything to let people know of our existence. I don't know how I managed to do that but I think it was because Anthony was with me. I dated him for five years before we decided to be friends. He has the power of persuasion. Although he would never go against the fathers. Even though they would probably know before he even decided. Aro knew everything, and I admired that about him. Nothing seemed to surprise him anymore.
"Tinker Bell? What are you thinking about?" Anthony asked as he walked up and put his arms on my waist. I gently leaned back into him.
"Nothing of any importance." I sighed.
"Au contraire. Everything you do is of great importance." I looked up at him. His light brown hair was long and stop just passed his ears. His blood red eyes were gentle and playful.
"What evs. So what did you get me for my birthday?" I asked turning so that we were face-to-face.
"It's not really for you to enjoy. It's for me to enjoy and for you to be pleasured by my reaction." he whispered in my ear.
"And you think your reaction will pleasure me. I highly doubt that. Besides I don't need what you have to make you react that way." I said seductively. I gently stroked the length of his neck repeatedly.
"Why don't we test that theory out?" he replied. His red eyes were now dark with lust.
"Not now. I have to get ready for the party." I turned away from him and made my way to my room. Tori and Sarah had went shopping with Heidi. They got me a long red halter dress. It looked great on me. It showed all of my curves and was low cut. It would make all the men be attracted to me so that would make it easier for Sarah to see who changed her. If they were still around. I knew Aro wouldn't want me to show off my body like this but I was an adult. I went into my bathroom which was twice the size as my bathroom at home and took a shower. I curled my hair. I would have it lay in soft curls all the way to the middle of my back. I slowly slipped on my dress and my shoes.
I looked on my phone and it said six pm. The party would begin in an hour. I walked at human pace to where Tori's and Sarah's rooms where. Their rooms were in the south side of the castle. Except they got the nicer rooms. The suites as we call them.
"Bella, you look great. You have to go down the grand staircase. All eyes will be on you. Let's go. Everyone is already here. Demetri just came. He said he was looking for you. I'm so excited. They never had parties like this before when I was here. It's going to be so fun." Sarah was jumping up and down. Sarah was a happy-go-lucky person. But by looking at her you would never know. Her Goth look completely throws you off.
"Sarah, darling the only reason we're having this party is so you can get your revenge. You have to identify the one who bit you, tonight." I confessed. I didn't tell her about it when the idea came to me.
"Yes, I know. Victoria told me. But still other than for that this is going to be one of the best nights of my existence. I can't wait let's go." she led us down the many stairs to the main ball room. She left me at the entrance.
I slowly climbed up the step to the grand stair case. I had to make my entrance. Tonight everyone was going to know who I was. When I reached the top I saw Aro.
"Tonight my only daughter becomes a real woman. I'm so proud of you Isabella." Aro, of course was wearing a dark purple robe. Not a bath room robe. Only the fathers have these robes.
"Thank you daddy. I'm very grateful for this lovely party. Now let us go in and surprise the world." I held my head up high as I grabbed Aro's arm. We slowly made our way to the top of the grand stair case.
"Listen everyone. I want to introduce the birthday girl. My daughter and your leader. ISABELLA SWAN VOLTURI!!!"

We were waiting patiently in the grand ball room for Aro and his daughter. I was bored out of my mind. There were over two thousand vampires here. I could tell by Jasper that they were anxious. Then I smelt it. The scent. The scent that I hunted for wanting to kill Bella. My Bella. It was Victoria. I could tell by the faces of my family that they smelt her too.
"You don't think she's here, do you?" Rosalie asked.
"Oh, yes. I'm here. No need to worry. I was invited personally by the daughter. She and I are very close. I wouldn't touch me if I was you. She's very territorial." she said walking up to us. "Not like you stayed around long enough to notice." she muttered the last part to herself.
"What's that suppose to mean?" I growled at her.
"You'll see soon enough." she smirked at walked away. I tried to read her mind but she had it blocked. And surprisingly so did everyone else's.
"Listen everyone. I want to introduce the birthday girl. My daughter and your leader. ISABELLA SWAN VOLTURI!!!"
Here's the address for Bella and the dress she wears to her party. Don't forget to review!!!
