OMG I am mortified, sorry I got confused between stories and posted a wrong chapter! I AM SO SORRY!

"Hello Isabella. We've been waiting for you." Aro announces as I walk in. That isn't creepy at all, thank you for settling my worries.

"Great." I say lamely. Rose rolls her eyes.

"Thanks for freaking her out." She says sarcastically. I smile gently.

"It's fine. Hello Aro." I say and give a shallow curtsey.

"Such manners for a such a young girl. Please, tell us your story. I'm positive it's interesting." Aro says graciously.

"I'd be much obliged. Well it all started..."

"And that's how I got here." I finish. One of the guard wolf whistles and I grin slightly. That's right, I'm awesome.

"That's quite a story." Marcus says. His eyes are milky as if his eyes have seen so much they faded slightly.

"Are you doubting her?!" Rose says, glaring angrily. I touch her arm, signaling her to back off.

"Of course not. I have Demetri to testify to this." My eyebrows shoot up. I forgot he was here. Demetri steps forward and seeing him acting so stiff is annoying. His back is too straight, his face to guarded.

"Nice jacket." One of the guard mutters, Felix I think. I look at the jacket and almost blush. Almost. I stop myself in time and simply ignore him. I'm cold and there is no problem with being cold. Plus, his jacket is comfortable.

"Demetri, is Isabella gifted?" Aro asks, his eyes gleaming.

"I don't know." He says defeatedly after thinking for a few seconds. Aro turns to me, his eyebrows raised. I don't offer any information. Aro stares at me and I stare back defiantly.

"Will you stop with the staring contest and proceed?" Caius butts in after a minute or two.

"Yes I am." I say and then look down, fiddling with the sleeve of the jacket.

"Well, what is it?" Caius bursts out, obviously frustrated.

"I have a shield." I mumble and Aros head snaps up.

"A shield..." Aro whispers, caressing the word. I nod curtly.

"That's quite a powerful gift. For a human." Caius says suspiciously

"Thank you. We could stand here all day but I really am not in the mood. Either I'm staying here or I'm leaving. I'm fine with each. Your dice." I say. Aro and Caius and Marcus leave the room for a few minutes and come back.

"You can stay. Your room will be in the Elite floor. Demetri, take her. She's room 135. Go. Now." Aro orders. Then I'm dragged away from Rose and Emmet up to my new room.
