Chapter 10
Bella POV
"Do I have too?" I asked. Father was trying to make me sing at today's coronation. "Yes. It is important that you show everyone your voice." He said. "Ugh. Fine." I sighed. For the ceremony I had on a long tan dress with small decorations of flowers on the sides. It was really beautiful. Under that I had on black converse because I don't like wearing heals a lot. I also have my silver sunglasses on, my wings are out and are currently blue with sadness.
My long brown hair was flowing down my back and I didn't have any make-up on what-so-ever. I looked in the mirror. Is that me? No it cant be. The girl in the mirror looked beautiful. The tan dress fit perfectly with all of her curves and her hair shined. Her wings were fluffy looking and a dark blue. But I knew it was me from the eyes. The eyes in the mirror were dead looking.
(She can see here eyes through her glasses. No one else can see her eyes when she wears her glasses.)
My eyes are black again. And they show sadness and pain. I sighed and walked out of the room. Heidi came over to me. "Princess everyone is here." She said. I just nodded. "Bella, please smile." She said. I put of a fake smile and she sighed. She could see through it.
Through the main doors where everyone is. I could hear Aro talking. "The Princess is going to be a great part of our royal line. And here is the new princess." He said. And I phased through the door. I heard gasps and kept on my fake smile. I went over to where my father was and hugged him then I grabbed the microphone.
"Hello Everyone. Thank You for coming to my coronation. I am glad to have to support of you all. We are going to start off this beautiful day by my singing first and afterward will be time to talk and dance with others." I said, politely. Everyone seemed stunned by me. I didn't understand why.
When I was little
My father called me
His little princess
It was just a nickname
I didn't think it could be true
But as I stand here today, I wonder
If he could see the future
I just want to say
Daddy Look at me now
Look at how I can help the world
Look at me
And tell me what you see
Do I look different to you?
Every little girl plays dress up
Every little girl plays with make-up
And wants to be older and have her first kiss
But let me tell you
I would rather be younger
When times were easy
And I was so stronger
But as I stand here today
I just want to say
I am a princess
What can I do for you?
I am a princess
I finished my song and everyone cheered. "Thanks Everyone." I said and was about to get off stage when Dad yelled, "Encore." Which made everyone else shot it too. I sighed. I went back to the microphone. "Alright. If you want it you got it. Here is my last song." I said.
I look back through my life
I wonder what happened then
I wonder how I got here
I remember way back then
When everything good happened to me
The perfect boyfriend, perfect kids
It was too perfect, so it had to be taken away from me
And soon I was alone
I was a person without a home
But then you took me in
And I felt some hope come back to me
But soon it left as I remembered you
Every night I am out crying your name
Every night I try to push back the pain
My memories didn't fade when I changed
So I remember everything
From my human life
I look back through my life
I wonder what happened then
I wonder how I got here
I am in pain
When I hear your name
I am in pain
When I hear their names
I am in pain
And I don't care
whether I live nor die
I finished and everyone clapped and I quickly got off stage before I exploded with tearless sobs. I am trying to hold them in as best as I can. I started walking around greeting people. And before I knew it something touched my wing and I growled and was about o lunge at the person. But I turned to see Alice. The girl I met last night.
"Sorry." She said. "No, I'm sorry. I get a little defensive when people touch my wings." I said. She just stared at me. "Alright. Maybe a lot defensive." I said. And she giggled. "I know its you." She said. "What?" I asked. "Emma." Alice responded. My eyes widened. "I see the future number 1. Number 2 you sang the same types of songs you sang last night. And number 3 your voice is the same and you are wearing sunglasses and you told us you abilities." She said.
My mouth formed to an 'o' shape. And Alice giggled again and said, "Don't worry. I wont tell anyone. I promise." "Thank You, Alice." I said, relieved. "Oh and Rosalie knows but she promised not to say anything either." Alice said. I nodded, thankfully. "Do you want to meet my family?" She asked. "Sure." I responded. She brought me over to more vegetarians. "Okay. This is Carsile and his wife Esme. Then that's Rosalie and Emmett. This is my boyfriend Jasper." Alice said grabbed hold of Jasper's hand. Then I looked to the final Cullen. And I froze where I stood.
He was pale, of course. With gold eyes. He had messy bronze hair. Oh my gosh. "And this is Edward." Alice finished. Edward. Edward!! Is it really him?! No it couldn't be. But.. It could. I think it's really him. I was staring at him intently and he stared back at me puzzled yet curious. I quickly snapped out of it and put my hand forward for him to shake. "Nice to meet you." I said. He shook my hand and said the same to me.
"Princess!" Aro yelled. "I am terribly sorry but I must go. Nice meeting you." I said still staring at Edward. I ran to my father. "Yes, Dad?" I asked. "You must demonstrate your powers now." He said. I nodded and went on stage. "Ok. I will now demonstrate my abilities to everyone. Let us start with something simple. I am immune to human blood. It does not appeal to me in any way." I said and say some impressed faces.
"Okay. Now if you have an ability that has to do with the mind. Raise your hand." I said. And 4 vampires raised their hands. One of them was Edward. "Well don't even try them on me. They wont work. I am also a mind shield. Any ability having to do with the mind does not work on me." I said. Astonishment was placed on many faces.
"Now my wings." I said. I flew upward for a moment and stayed in the air as I spoke. "I can fly because of my wings and they also change color with my emotions." Then I landed back on the ground. "I can phase through objects. Before you saw me phase through the door." I said. I started walked towards Aro and then I phased right through him but kept walking. I heard gasps from the fellow vampires.
"And finally my eyes." I said and all stares went to my shades. "Father is there anything you don't need?" I asked. He walked out of the room and came back in with a kitchen table. "Alright. Everyone move away from the table." I said. And everyone backed up. Then I lifted my shades and I saw red as the beam shot out of my eyes and hit the table making it blow up into millions of tiny pieces. I quickly put my shades back on and turned to face the vampires. Everyone was staring opened mouthed at what used to be a table.
"That's it." I said. Then I sat down on the throne and Aro put the crown on my head. "Princess Isabella Voultri!" He yelled and everyone clapped. I stood up and kept p my fake smile. I should be terribly happy at a moment like this but never again can I be the happy little girl I once was.
After that I walked back down to the Cullen family. "So you're a vegetarian then?" Carsile asked. "Yes." I responded. "If you don't mind I would like to hear your stories. I am very interested to learn about other vegetarians and a big family of vampires." I said. "We would be honored." Esme said. "Great. Then don't leave after this is done. After everyone else leaves we can finally talk. Sound okay?" I asked. They nodded. I am interested to learn about this family. But mostly about Edward. Could this be the love of my life that disappeared all those years ago?
