Chapter 6. Dancing With Forgetful Cinderella

Once Aro had left my family and I to settle into our room I noticed my family gawking at the enormous room. I had lived in this room before so I was used to it but to them it was just stunning. I didn't blame them though for thinking it.

There was an enormous living room type area with several couches, bean bags, flat screen TV's and a large closet at the end of the room which I knew Alice would LOVE! I saw all our things had been put away and our luggage was in the sleeping area-not that anyone besides me slept.

The sleeping area had a few steps that you had to climb to get up to it with two large white pillars standing from the steps to the stain glass roof. There were five beds evenly spaced out with three large windows behind the Victorian style head boards.

Each bed had a different colored bed spread that myself Jane had picked out a while back and the chandelier above shone with crystals and diamonds with little strands of pearls hear and there. There was only one restroom but it wouldn't be a problem. It was also huge. One incredibly large shower that could fit four twin sized beds in there, a Jacuzzi tub, a vintage bath tub and about five sinks lined up made out of granite. We'd be alright.

"It's….beautiful!" Alice said running over to the sleeping area and flopping down on one of the beds. She was claiming it as hers even though she definitely wouldn't be using it anytime soon.

"Damn…" Rose whispered as she entered the large restroom. She loved it all, she just couldn't admit it.

"Just stunning." Irina and Esme said in unison. They giggled and smiled at each other making a silly little jinx joke.

"Whatever! Who cares? I need to get ready so I can look my best for that studsicle, Edward, down there. The ball's in only a few hours and we all have so much to do." Tanya said looking at herself in one of the little wall mirrors and smacking her lips together before staring at me smugly.

"Oh my gosh! She's right!" Alice said looking at her little white watch on her wrist. "The ball is about three hours! And we all have tog et ready!" Alice said jumping up from the bed and started rushing around the room, gathering all our dresses from the closest I was surprised she hadn't flocked to earlier and placed them on the beds, two for each bed. Each dress was in a dress back that wasn't transparent so I quickly rushed over to the one that read "BELLA" on the bag and unzipped it after sending Alice a stern glare.

I slowly unzipped the bag to reveal a beautiful light blue gown with no straps that flew fluidly to the floor, even hung over a bed. It looked like something one of the ancient Greek goddesses would wear.

"Alice!" I gasped in shock as I held it in my hands. I loved it!

Alice giggled as she walked to the bathroom and everyone left me in awe of my own dress. I bit my lower lip and watched as Alice curled her hair, Tanya fixed her make up, Irina pulled her hair up into a messy bun and arranged her jewelry she had packed to match her beautiful gown and Esme already slipping into her gown that looked beautiful on her.

I gasped when I looked at myself in one of the wall mirrors and rushed to the bathroom. I decided to let Alice do whatever she wanted to me since she had finished her own make up and hair.

Her hair was in tight little curls with a big crimson red rose pinned in her hair while her eye lashes were beautiful with the make eye liner and mascara she put on and her pouty little lips looked perfect with the bright red lipstick.

Alice pulled my hair up into two little braids and weaved them together so only the two braids were pulled up and the rest of my straight hair was hanging down to my waist. For my make up she simply applied brown eyeliner with a hint of black mascara and some peachy lips gloss. She forbid me from wearing blush since I had the human ability to blush already and I did it often enough.

I looked simple but it suited my dress perfectly. I knew I'd stick out like a soar thumb enough so I might as well keep everything as simple as possible. When we were all finished with our make up Alice, Irina and I decided it was time to get into our gowns. Alice slid into hers easily as did Irina but Alice was so scared I'd rip my dress that she simply told Irina to help her get me into my beautiful dress.

I put on the shoes Alice had given me-a pair of silver flats covered by the long gown and we all walked out into the living room area to see Esme gawking at Tanya and not in the good sense.

Tanya had slicked back her hair into a very low ponytail with a part down the middle of her scalp. Her dress was tight in certain areas and loose in others which might have looked less slutty if she had worn an actual bra with the dress. Apparently it was very cold in here.

Esme's sights turned from her whore like daughter to her more subtle ones and smiled at us proudly. Her eyes ran over each of us and then stopped on me. "Oh Bella! You look…gorgeous!" my mother said gliding over gracefully to me and kissing me on the forehead.

"Thank you." I said with a shy smile on my face.

"Okay slowpokes! Let's go!" Alice said pointing to the door. We all laughed and followed behind Alice.


By the time we made it to the ball room we were already about twenty minutes late and everyone was already flocked bellow the grand stair case we stood at all the beautiful vampires dancing, laughing and gulping down wine glasses full of blood. It was like a sea of white , black and crimson red through out the whole room and I was wearing BLUE!

I saw Aro, Caius and Marcus standing at the thrones at the far back of the tremendously large room and I smiled as I saw Aro laughing and smiling with Emmet, jasper and…Edward standing beside him and his brothers. Aro didn't joke and smile too often around people other than his family, so it was nice to see him happy. No one had seen me yet so I was glad that my female family members were hiding me so well.

"Oh yeah!" Alice said hoping slightly and rushing to stand in front of me. "Bella, Aro requested that you and Jane walk together down the stairs when they announce the covens. So we are going first and then you'll walk with Jane and they will announce you two as his 'daughters' so to speak." Alice said grimacing. She didn't like the fact that I had lived with the Volturi before.

"Alright…." I said hesitantly. I wanted to go with my family but what Aro says goes. "But where's Ja-" before I could finish a little bundle of fire appeared before me.

Jane was wearing a small red dress with sequins on the bodice and tool for the bottom. Her blonde hair hung in loose curls around her shoulders and she wore little red flats to match her gown. She looked perfect.

"Hey Bella!" Jane said smiling up at me happily and then turning to glare at my family. Jane didn't like that I lived with my new family. She thinks they took me from my first family and it was kind of true but I also went to them by choice.

"Ladies and gentlemen may I present The Denali clan." a man announced. He was probably apart of the guard. Everyone stood still and smiled up at my family as they walked down the grad stair case without me. Emmet and jasper practically fell over each other when they saw Rosalie and Alice and I couldn't blame them. My sister's were incredibly beautiful.

Once my family finished their walk and walked over to greet some friends of theirs Aro stood and stared at Jane and I from his throne. He rose slowly and clapped his hands together loudly before everyone stared at him questioningly.

"My dear friends. I'm so glad you could all attend this small gathering of mine and I hope you all enjoy yourselves," Aro said smiling at eh crowd then up at Jane and I. "But first, may I introduce my daughter's." Aro said motioning towards the stair case. Everyone turned and stared up at Jane and I as we walked down the grand staircase.

I clung to Jane's little hand in mine and smiled politely down at the people below. They all gasped when they saw my dress and some snickered and whispered at my disobedience towards Aro but I knew he loved the dress as much as I did.

I looked around the entire room only to catch a pair of crimson eyes staring at me lovingly and possessively. I gripped Jane's hand a little tighter as I held the gaze and tried to take un necessary breathes.

Those eyes belonged to Edward…
