I would like to thank all the lovely reviews and all the freak outs! They make me happy when I'm sad! Most of you got it correct on what's going to happen so, let's go!
REVIEW!
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight....yet.
Alice POV
My mind fluttered with different questions as the people I thought I would never see again just happen to waltz in graciously. I mean, wow, Mike Newton, Jessica Stanly, Angela Weber, Tyler Crowley, Eric Yorkie, Lauren Mallory and Ben Cheney stood with four other people who were in cloaks that seemed unfamiliar. As I looked at each of them, my mind completely crazed over how hot Mike Newton was. I mean, nothing can ever be as good looking as my Jazzy but damn! Mike Newton was actually hot for the first time!
"How the fuck are you non-human?" Emmett boomed. Esme threw him an icy glare but redirected her gaze at the not-so-humans.
Mike laughed. "We don't even know. Man, we were camping near these mountains and it began raining so we ran to the nearest cave since the girls were screaming about their hair. We didn't know that there was a damn bear in the cave. Most of us got mauled and only Angela and Ben only got a scratch on their faces. Then these three weird people helped us and well bit us. They told us about vampires and stuff on our way here, they also said that they got a call from someone named Maria who said that some dude name Aro was planning something horrific with this one chick named Adriana." Mike finished.
"Maria?!" Jasper exploded. Jasper hated Maria for making him do what he so deeply regrets.
"Yeah. I'm surprised that you didn't notice our scent Jasper." One of the cloak figures spoke. The cloaked figure put the hood down revealing herself. She was beautiful, obviously, but even for a vampire. I bet Rose felt a pang of envy towards her. Her hair was a weird color of brown that went to her waist but was tied into two braids on either side of her head. Her eyes were ruby red revealing that she was a human drunker and not animal. One thing that was off about her was her scars that resembled Jasper's. Her jaw, or her whole facial structure, was perfect and square.
"Charlotte?" Jasper asked astonished. Charlotte smiled warmly and nodded. I remember Jasper mentioning Charlotte, a mate of his good friend Peter. I'm guessing the man with the arm around Charlotte's waist is Peter.
"Peter, Mary, Randall! Why on Earth are you here? I mean it's very nice seein' you and all but why?" Jasper asked, letting his southern accent slip a little. I thought it was cute how Jasper had his southern drawl, but he's always hiding it! Makes me pout!
"Jazz, these are your friends from the newborn war, correct?" Carlisle inquired.
"Yes, we are. And to answer Jasper's question is that, well, you see, Aro is planning on something massive. An all out war between Wolves and vampires. Maria told me that they are planning on using Adriana as well. I see that Victoria already got you on the war thing. We passed by the original werewolves on our way through here, we warned them. They said that they already knew and were heading toward Forks, Washington which I thought was absurdly random. Is there a population of werewolves in that area? I heard that you lived there once or twice." Peter said.
"Yes we did. There is a group of werewolves but are really just shape-shifters in the Quileute tribe." Jasper said. "What does Aro want Adriana for? I mean she can bring people back from the dead but I have a feeling that he's not using her gift during the battle. What else did Maria say?"
Mary, I assumed, shrugged. "I don't know. Aro asked about you guys, asking about your pasts and stuff. Maria sounded scared, or possibly both scared and shocked."
"Did- did she mention a girl named Isabella or Bella?!" Esme asked frantically.
"Yes. Maria told us that Aro plans on forcing Isabella by threatening her mother and Phil's life. Oh and her Aunt Cassandra's life as well. Maria also told Aro about Bella's past with you guys, but she never told us anything else." Mary answered.
"Dear lord, what is going on in Aro's head?! Has he gone insane?!" Carlisle exclaimed, throwing his hands in the air obviously angered. I was confused about all of this. I know Bella was powerful but whenever she uses her powers she would weaken, like Victoria said. Aro would eventually kill her since he would be using her as basically an atomic bomb!
"I don't trust Tanya." I whispered.
"No one does, duh!" Emmett tried slapping my head but I ducked it and slapped him on the arm.
"No, I don't trust Tanya with Edward. My vision was clear as day meaning she would somehow betray Edward. She specifically said that she would see Aro soon, I'm thinking soon would be sometime around the war." I explained.
Out of no where, Kate gasped. "Your right! It all makes perfect sense now!" Kate exclaimed. Everyone looked at her weirdly for a second. Kate rolled her eyes. "A couple months ago when the Cullen's first arrived, I overheard Tanya talking on the phone. I heard another person on the line and I noticed it was Aro. I assumed that Tanya was just telling Aro some information regarding someone breaking the law. She said, 'The mind reader is here, what do you want me to do?' but I think she saw me and took off." Kate said.
I nodded. "What is Tanya going to do with Edward?" I asked, scared.
Carlisle sighed. "By the sounds of it, I think she's going to sell him out to the Volturi."
Bella POV
The travel to the tower was randomly long and terribly eerie, sending shudders down my back with every twist and turn of the walls. The floor was wet as if it rained inside the castle and the walls were wet as well, making the whole castle look it's true age. As I carefully walked through the halls I passed by two guards who looked at me suspiciously. Soon, they began following me meaning that the dungeon must be close.
I turned a corner and soon turned invisible so the guards won't be able to see me. I tried running in circles so the guards would go in different directions as my scent wafted through the air. Snickering quietly to myself I ran to a long spiral staircase. After five minutes of walking up the stairs I came to a whole culdesac of jail cells. What I saw absolutely was disturbing.
I saw both vampires and werewolves bounded to walls. It may not seem true but they all looked weak for a vampire which made me suspicious. The vampires were only bounded my steel chains with some sort of aura glowing around them. They all looked like they've been starving, the vampires eyes a cold black and the werewolves were scarily scrawny.
"Hello?" I whispered, my voice quivering.
"Whose there?" A man asked. He was tall and had russet skin. His hair was cropped short and was a dark brown. He had bags under his eyes, indicating that he was tired and probably hadn't slept in days. He kind of looked like Jake.
"Show yourself!" A female voice spoke yelled.
"I'm sorry, but I'm looking for a Cassandra?" I asked, looking around. A woman at the far right gasped and shrunk into herself. She was shaking terribly, and I noticed her unmistakable facial structure. She was Cassandra. Her hair was an ashy brown and went to just above her ribs. Her eyes were a strange mix of gold with a hint of red, someone must of fed her human blood or something. She had the same facial structure as my mother except Cassandra's was much more prominent and firm.
"Cassandra?" I peered through the strange bars of the cells. The bars looked electrifying, even for a vampire.
"Are you here to kill me? If so, do it quick." She replied bitterly.
"No, I'm not here to kill you. Don't you remember me?" I asked hurt. Cassandra looked at me, like she was trying but failed. She shrugged her shoulders and frowned. I quickly stepped out from the back of the room and walked up to her, my face showed through sunlight from a crack in the ceiling.
"Bella? Bella! Oh my god! How?! What?! When?!" She exclaimed.
"Shhh! Aro doesn't know that I'm here." I then noticed
"He will kill you if he sees you here!" She whispered/yelled.
I ignored her. "Why are you locked up? Why are all of you locked up?!" I almost explained but reminded myself that vampires were near.
"Because Aro hates intimidation. He saw that we were one of the most powerful werewolf clans and then decided to take us out when we were actually helping the world! Aro is a low-life, selfish, pompous ass!" Yelled a werewolf. Suddenly, a jolt of electricity was sent up his arms and through his body. He gasped in pain and slumped over. His heartbeat was getting slower but not deadly slow.
"Are you okay?!" I asked. I went to reach for him but I was cut off.
"Isabella! What do we have here, eh? You chatting with the enemy, probably devising a plan to break free?" Caius smirked.
"You know, you're becoming a real pain in the ass. And God help me I will take you out myself." I hissed.
Caius laughed. "Such a pretty little girl but such a fat mouth."
"Will you shut up already?! No one likes you, go screw off!" I screamed, letting my anger slipped.
Caius stopped laughing and looked at me dead in the eye. "You listen here little girl, if you want to keep your family plus the pups and the Cullen's alive, you will shut up or I will have one of my guards shut you up themselves."
I laughed bitterly. "Like they can take me. I'd like to see the strongest of your guard fight me." I smirked.
"We'll see about that, Isabella. By the way, your training starts at the crack of dawn. Take her." Caius told a guard. The guard, I realized, was Felix. He did not lay a finger on me for he knew that I would break that finger along with other things in his body. With one last lingering look back, I whispered a good-bye and turned away.
Caius disappeared, leaving Felix and I alone. "What did you think you were doing, going to the dungeon?!" He exclaimed.
I rolled my eyes. "Personal reasons. Why, is there something in there I shouldn't see?" I asked. Felix looked around. "No ones around, trust me." I assured him.
Felix looked me strait in the eye. "Bella, listen. Aro tortures them, didn't you sense the smell of blood?" He asked. I shook my head. "Bella, he teases them with blood making them strain for it so they can electrocute themselves."
I frowned. "How can they get electrocuted? They're vampires." I asked.
Felix nodded hesitantly. "Well, Aro has these two guards. One can electrocute even the strongest of them all. The other can transfer powers into an object." He explained.
"Well, I can help them! I just need lots of time and I need to make sure that the guards aren't around."
Felix shook his head. "Bella, no. Now that Caius knows that you went to the dungeon, he will triple the guards on that area. Aro is the only thing protecting you, if Caius could he would kill you. Or worse!"
"Worse? Worse than death?! What would be worse?" I exclaimed. Felix looked strait ahead, his eyes showed pity.
"Just, please. I really care about you and Caius barely allows anyone in the guard to find actually care about someone. Please, don't go back to that dungeon." Felix pleaded.
It was quiet as I contemplated this. I was the most powerful Vampire, scratch that, I was the most powerful creature in this world. I can always control the Volturi's mind! But then again they have that Andrew person, I know that he lurks in the shadows, always following me.
"Fine."
"Thank you, Bell! Thank you! I can't ever afford to lose another loved one!" Felix huge body crushed my puny one in an embrace. I pushed him off by instinct.
"Dude! Dude! Dude! I don't know you like that! Okay, maybe I do. But, do you like me?" I asked.
Felix looked stunned."Bella, I'm sure every male vampire has a crush on you, including me. But, I know your heart belongs to this Edward guy."
I smiled. "Wow, I thought that would be difficult." I murmured.
"Hey, wanna go swimming?!" Felix asked excitedly.
My eyes narrowed to slits. "Why, you want to see me in a bikini?" I challenged.
Felix eyes widened. "No. . . Yes."
I laughed. "Sure, okay." I agreed.
"Really?! Be right back! I gotta go tell the guys that you said yes!" Felix screamed like a 4-year old on Christmas. He took off, dashing through the corridors.
I chuckled but continued walking towards my room. Felix and Jane were probably my only friends here, everyone else I'm not so sure that I can call them friends. Once you get to know her, Jane is actually really cool. On the outside she looks like a bitch but she's actually nice. While on the other hand, Felix was like my brother. People would be intimidated by him but really he's just in the wrong place, that's all.
Sighing, I opened my room door. It was empty in my room, nothing but the sounds of the stereo which was playing classical music, Beethoven 5th. I smiled and laid down on my bed, thinking aimlessly about random things. After four hours of staring at the ceiling I decided to explore the castle a little. But not before I take a proper grooming of myself.
I hopped into the shower and turned it to turbo hot. To me, it pelted my skin making it seem like a normal warm to me but to humans it would be like hopping into lava. I grabbed the nearest shampoo, because sadly they did not have my favorite strawberry shampoo, and began rubbing it in my scalp. I got out and wrapped a towel around my waist and began walking towards the closet. I hope they had my size. . .
I swung open the closet door and I swear, this closet is like the size of a freaking two-story house! Bigger than my previous house! I looked around the immense closet and found a whole freaking aisle of my size. Bad thing about it, they were mostly skirts and dresses, now that's shitty.
After 10 minutes of staring, I decided on a purple and black checkered day dress with black pumps. I found a swim suit for later and threw it in a bag that I found to carry some stuff. Pursing my lips, I decided on wearing the usual make-up: Eyeliner, mascara and lip gloss. Nothing to fancy.
I saw a blond vampire, who was the most beautiful vampire I ever seen, talking, more like flirting, with Felix. His arm was blocking the chicks path and his eyes were riddled with flirtation. I almost giggled but I didn't want to ruin the moment so I quickly turned invisible and lithely ran past them. The blond was twirling her hair in her hand and I'm sure if she was human she would be blushing.
Strutting out of my invisibility, I met some very gracious and generous male vampires. One of them, who reminded me of Mike Newton, kept following me, talking about where every room was. The male vampire I recognized was Alec, Jane's brother.
"Alec, where's the library?" I asked.
"Go up that stairwell," He pointed. "Then go to the last door on the right."
I smiled brilliantly. "Thank you, Alec. You're such a cutie." I pecked his cheek and took off sprinting up the stairs. The stairs weren't as long as the one going to the dungeon. I looked ahead and noticed the last door to the right. I walked in and the smell of books and ancient hit me like a wrecking ball. I basked in the scent of old books as I began walking around for any interesting books. I looked around amazed by all the treasures in here. Egyptian scrolls, portraits of old Queens and Kings, Greek literature, everything!
Out of now where, I heard a sinister chuckle. I whipped around and saw that Andrew dude. After seeing many male vampires in my life, Andrew had to be one of the most beautiful. He was tall with black hair and a golden highlight cropped short and gleaming red eyes. He was tall and built up, not like Emmett but like Jasper. Andrew looked a lot like James, except James had blond hair.
"Andrew." I hissed at him. Yet again, he let out a chuckle.
"Isabella, I see you're doing well." He commented. His eyes were trailing up my body with sudden interest and I instantly began feeling violated.
"What do you want?" I seethed.
Andrew smirked. "Just wanted to greet you."
"Well, you're done. Now leave!" I pointed to the door.
"Oh, but Bella, you are to desirable to resist!" Andrew exclaimed taking a step forward. I got a feeling trailing up my spine, the same feeling I had when James attacked me.
"Andrew, you know damn well what I can do." I warned.
"And you know what I can do as well."
I growled viciously and began taking a few more steps back. "If you know what's good for you, then you will leave, Andrew."
"I want revenge." He replied simply.
"Why?"
"Your little lover killed my brother, James!"
OHHHHH!! CLIFFYY!!! DONT FALLL!!!! Teehee!!!! I bet you never saw that, eh? Oh yeah! Boo ya! Wow, who still says boo ya anymore? REVIEW!PRESS THE BUTTON!! IF YOU DON'T THEN THEN THEN THEN....... I WILL SEND FLYING BOATS INTO YOUR HEAD!!!
