Chapter 10: Discovery

Jane took everyone to a room. Carlisle and Esme, Rosalie and Emment, Alice and Jasper, Edward and I, were all sharing a room. I'm happy that I'm least able to share a room with Edward.

The room was enormous. There was a king sized canopy bed, a walk in closet, a marble floor bathroom with a bathtub and shower, and windows that reached up to the ceiling. I must have been gawking because Edward spoke up.

"It's amazing isn't it." Edward chuckled.

I only nodded. Edward made his way to the bed and started to unpack.

"Bella, why don't you go take a shower first."

I snapped out of my daze. "huh?"

Edward sighed. "Bella…shower…"

"Oh right." I unpacked my bag. I searched for my pajamas and undergarments. I made my way over to the bathroom, and turned around.

"No peeking." I said with a smile and closed the bathroom door before Edward could reply.

When I was inside the bathroom, I decided to take a bath. It would help soothe me. When the tub was of water and bubbles, I decided bubbles would be a nice addition to the bath, I stepped in and let the warm water calm me and relax all my nerves. I guess I'll wash my hair.

I stepped out of the bathroom, to find Edward missing. I started to panic, but I noticed a note on the bed.

Dear Bella,

Carlisle wanted to talk to me. I'll be back soon.

Love Edward.

I exhaled. At least Edward was safe. Now, I felt ridiculous for panicking. Calm down Bella. I sighed. Right at that moment, my stomach growled.

Crap. How am I going to find food... Maybe I should go look for Alice.

I opened the door and walked down the hallway. I remember Jane showing everyone their rooms. I took a left. I wandered into a unknown corridor.

Maybe I should go back.

I turned around and headed back the way I came. Then I noticed a door. This door was slightly open and I could see a blazing fireplace. I walked in and was consumed with books. The whole room was just piled with books from top to bottom. There are countless shelves of books, mostly old, thick, and rusty. The titles of the books seemed to be written in numerous languages. Some were written in English. So I could probably guess what they are about. I roamed around the room. It's never-ending. The room was so comforting and peaceful. I could stay there forever. I sat down in a nearby chair and picked up the closest book.

Centuries ago, the Cold One and Werewolves were immortal enemies. They fought day and night. The Cold Ones were looking for satisfaction to their desires and Werewolves were trying to prevent the endless slaughter. The Cold Ones were said to possess special powers that differed between one another. They could move in the speed of light and brutally murder you at first glance. Their natural enemies, Werewolves are "descendants from wolves." Their body structures were made just to hunt and kill the Cold Ones. Werewolves are known to heal almost instantly.

The Royal family of France, were said to have made a secret peace treaty with both sides to protect the people. The terms of the treaty were that both sides could step onto France land. But, they could not fight. The Cold Ones were banned from drinking from the bloods of the French. The Werewolves were banned from transforming in front of humans. However, the treaty was not kept. Both sides broke out in raids. There was bloodshed for countless days. Both sides would not stop until the other gave in.

Till this day, no one knows why the treaty was broken and who broke it first…

"Interested aren't we."

My head shoot up in alarm. Standing in front of me was Aro. I could feel my hands beginning to shake. He closed the door to the room. I'm trapped. I could make a run for it, but he's faster and stronger. Not to mention there isn't another door to escape too.

"Don't be scared Isabella. I won't hurt you." He said my name with such formality.

Aro walked closer and took the seat across from me. I gripped the book.

"I see you've come upon the library. Exquisite isn't it."

"Very." I tried to keep my voice calm, so far it seemed to be working.

"Do you know how the battle began between our kinds?" Aro pointed to the book.

"No, the book didn't mention it."

"Would you like to know?"

I didn't answer for a moment.

"You see Bella, if I may call you Bella."

I merely nodded. Aro smiled.

"We have always lived in Italy and the Werewolves lived in England. Both sides hated each other beyond belief. We would kill them for the enjoyment and pleasure, while they killed to exterminate us. But, not all vampires hated the Werewolves. Some vampires were neutral. They didn't take sides and they didn't take part in the fights. There was one neutral family in particular."

Aro stared at me, to see if I was keeping up. I nodded.

"Who was the family?" I questioned.

"The Cullens."

I stared wide-eyed at Aro. I was in utter shock. I sat there for a moment, trying to take in what Aro just told me.

"But…H…ow…?" I regained my voice.

"I mean, wasn't Edward changed in 1901 and everyone after him. This story must have taken place in the 15th or 16th century…"

"Bella, when I meant the Cullens. I didn't mean the Cullens we know now."

Okay, now I was confused.

"The Cullens back then, yes, lived in the 16th century. They are very similar to the present Cullens. You could say that they were incarnated into the Cullens today."

"How do you know all this?"

Aro just laughed, "Bella, how old do you think I am?"

Carlisle told me Aro was old, but he never gave me a exact number.

"Bella dear, I have lived and seen many things in my time, and the war between vampires and werewolves is just a bonus."

I gulped.

"But, those are other stories. Let me finish telling you the current one. The Cullens were one of the most respected families in France. You see, the Royal family at the time were the Swans."

Okay, now this is getting really creepy! First I find out that my boyfriend's family was incarnated from a 16th century family. That lived during a war between Vampires and Werewolves. Now, I find out that the Royal family of France has my last name. Tell me not to freak out!

"Are….yo..u.. say..ing?

"yes, Bella, your family was also incarnated."

Suddenly everything blacked out…

How's the plot?
