Chapter 10

A New Start

Bella x Alec

I don't own Twilight

"Everyone I would like to announce my daughter Isabella. This first of our kind to be born in hundreds of years." Amarilla said.

I watched as the few that remained of the Fairy Vampires cheered. I couldn't believe that I was the first of our kind in such a long time. I also couldn't believe what Aro did to these people. I know that he had his reasons, but he had no reason to attack these people and destroy them, all he had to do was talk to them and ask them kindly to go into hiding. They could have keep the secret and the people would still be alive.

"Please Isabella feel free to roam the city and meet all the wonderful people that reside here." Amarilla said.

"Where will you be headed to?" I asked.

"I have some business to attend to, and I need to prepare your room for you." Amarilla replied.

"Where will my room be?" I asked.

"Right next to mine of course, and you will have the finest bed and silks that can be bought. You are my daughter." Amarilla said, and then she disappeared.

I couldn't even see her leave, it was almost like she teleported. I guess that I really did have a lot to learn about my powers. I had much to learn about who I was as well, and about who my ancestors were. I wish that my parents and friends all remember me, but thanks to Serena and her powers they would never remember and the worst part was, Alec wouldn't either. Alec would never remember the first time he meet, the first kiss, the first time we made love, and our beautiful wedding. That was all gone. Lost to the waves of time. Lost to the blackness of Serena's web of lies and the black hole that she had sucked him into and everyone else.

I walked down the large lavish steps. This part of the temple seemed to be open, but yet hidden the rest of the world. The upkeep of this portion of the temple was amazing and lavish. There was beautiful flowers everywhere and the whole place looked like a large garden filled with ponds, flowers, trees, and wildlife. It was like paradise. I loved it here. I walked through the gardens taking my time and enjoying the scenery. I loved how well this place was keep up. I walked along the cobblestone path a admired the lovely pond that it lead to.

"It is truly beautiful isn't it?" Asked a voice from behind.

I turned around to see a man that was more beautiful then Alec. I really didn't think that it was possible to see another man in that light, but here I stand. He had an unusually tanned skin, beautiful blue and gold eyes. It was like looking into the Caribbean Sea and seeing small shards of gold. His hair was as black as a raven and as silky feather. He looked like a god and his wings were out freely. They were a beautiful blue and gold. He was wearing no shirt and his muscles were well defined, and he was at least 6.4. He had strong, high cheekbones, and his hair was just the right length that it framed his face amazingly.

"Did I startle you?" He asked. I looked up realizing that I had been distracted.

"I am sorry for being rude. It is really beautiful." I replied.

"This is my favorite place to come when I want to be alone." He said.

"What is your name?" I asked.

"Oh do forgive me, where are my manners. I am Abdul second in command to the queen." Abdul replied.

"It is nice to meet you. My name is Isabella." I said.

"Yes I know. That is pretty amazing that the queen has taken you on as her daughter. It has been a long since I have seen joy in the queens eyes." Abdul said.

"Really, she seems so kind. I thought that she was always that way." I said.

"She is always that way, but you can still see the sadness in her eyes. Time has taken it's toll on, and there are many things that she wishes that she could have avoided." Abdul said.

"I didn't realize that her past still haunted her." I said.

"It don't necessarily haunt her so much as it just painful for her to think about. She made some mistakes and she wishes that she could change them." Abdul said.

"I see." I replied.

"No need to act so glum about it." He chuckled.

"I am not acting glum." I said.

"You sure having me believing you." He said.

"Whatever. I noticed that everyone here has there wings out." I said.

"Here there is no shame in showing the wonderful colors of our wings." He said.

"Before leaving Volterra I was encouraged to keep my wings put up." I said.

"You should really let your wings out. You would be surprised at how much better you would feel. They also define who you are." Abdul said.

"I suppose that I could let my wings out for a change." I replied.

I let my wings out, and watched as his eyes filled with wonder. My wings felt like a weight had been lifted off of them. It had been a long time since I my wings were out and this was the best that they had ever felt. I fluttered my wings and watched as they began to glow. They had never done that before. I turned to the pond and stared at my reflection, I was glowing.

"See, they feel amazing don't they?" Abdul said as he walked up behind me.

"You are right they feel great. I never knew that my wings glowed." I said.

"There is much that you don't know young one. I hope that you will give me some of your time, so that I can teach all that I know." Abdul said.

"I would love if you could teach me everything that you know." I said.

"Then shall we? I have a few places that I would like to show. One is a little bit outside of the temple." Abdul said.

I nodded my head and stepped forward and linked my arm with his. We started walking forward, but I let him lead me. He knew where he was going and I did not. I watched Abdul walk and I couldn't help but wonder how old he is. I feel like he is much older than even Alec and Edward. I smile to myself and try to keep my thoughts to myself.

"What is on your mind?" Abdul asked.

"How old are you?" I asked.

"I am over 1000 years old." He replied.

"Wow, and you have been alone this whole time?" I asked.

"Yes I have, but I am hoping that I won't be alone to much longer." He replied.

I grinned at this, maybe he was talking about me. I didn't want to jump to conclusions and assume that he was talking about me. We came to a stop in clearing that was outside the temple but overlooked a beautiful river. It was the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen in my life. I could stay in this spot for the rest of my life, but he had other places to show me as well.

"Do you like it?" He asked.

"I love it." I replied.

"I come here when I want to be alone. No one knows that this place exist. It is kind of hidden from the world." He said.

"Wow that is amazing. This has to be the best spot in this area." I said.

"No there is better, just not as secluded as this one." He replied.

"Well I could build a villa up here and live in it for the rest of my life." I said.

"Trust me I have thought about it a lot." He replied.

"That is awesome." I said.

"You know would could come back here later and I will bring something for us to eat, and bring a fresh dinner or human." He said.

"I prefer human if that is possible." I said.

"Trust me anything is possible." He replied.

"I had almost believed that you and the queen were a couple." I said.

"No we are not. The queen want take another mate on, she refuses to." He replied.

"Why is that?" I asked.

"She believes that you only ever have one true mate and that is the way that it should remain. She don't care if any of us have a mate, but she will not take a mate on." He replied.

"I see. That is kind of sad. I hate that she feels that way." I said.

"Yes a lot of men do." He replied.

"Do other men wish to be with her?" I asked.

"Of course they do, but she doesn't want anybody. Of course she always wanted a daughter." Abdul said.

"I figured that was the case. She really did take a shine to me real quick." I said.

"That she did." He replied.

I looked over at him and before I knew what was happening his lips were on mine. They really did feel amazing, but no. I love Alec and I always would, he was the very thing that had keep me going all that time. I would not just let my feelings go away. I would find away to be with Alec again. I pushed against his chest, said I was sorry and I ran back to the temple to find the queen and talk to her.
