That is where I found myself currently. Trapped in a world that I hate. A world that I would do anything to get away from, a world that has left me hollow inside. I hate this world; I hate myself for allowing it to change me. But most of all I hate Edward for letting this happen to me. I was a cold heartless creature. I lived for the Volturi that was my purpose, this according to Aro. He was very commanding when it came to me, he knew that I could destroy all that he had built.

During the years that I have been with the Volturi my life has consisted of doing Aro's bidding and it has made me hate my life, although I have to admit that is not much of a life. I was highest guard, or how others call me to my back Aro's Pet. But I am determined to get out of this cycle. I need to get out. That is what I was going to day. I would stand up to Aro.

I headed toward the room that I had come to know as the feeding chamber. It was the room that Aro would bring his prey to before they were met with their untimely death. Where I have heard thousands of innocents lose their lives. I hated this room, I hated what it meant, what its purpose was. I made my slowly towards it. I took a deep breath and pushed the door opened and was met with a pleasant looking Aro a passive looking Caius and they uncaring face of Marcus.

"Isabella my dear to what do we owe the pleasure of your lovely presence?" he said in an animated voice, while I stood before them with a stone expression of my face.

"Aro I think that you know very well why I am here today." I said making my voice sound strong and determined

"Ah yes Isabella I believe that I do, but I thought that you would have reconsidered you choice. I asked you to think it through before you made your decision."

"And I have Aro. You know very well that I do not wish to continue in the guard. I have thought this through long and hard, and my decision is made. I will be leaving as soon as possible."

The look on his face was one of happiness but I knew very well what he was hiding behind his passive façade. I knew that if he could chain me to the chair he would, if he knew that would be able to imprison me. He knew that he was powerless against me. We've had our disagreement over the years and in the end he has come up losing. I once set this very chamber on fire with all his guard around him I could have ended it right there but I was so surprised with the newfound power that the fire quickly subsided, but Aro was more than surprised.

I turned around to quickly exit the room.

"Isabella," Aro said as I stopped mid step "you will be missed and know that you will always have a home here. And we at least expect to see you at the ball in a couple of months." I nodded my head not bothering to turn around. The truth was that I didn't know what to do once I left here. I know that I want to go back to forks and visit my father's grave. I knew that Aro would want me to attend the stupid ball that was held every 100 years. It was Aro's way on keeping tabs on all of the most powerful covens that he has socialized with. It was also a way for Aro to recruit guards for himself. Aro considers himself a collector, excepts that he collects vampires with very unique powers. I went to my room my things were already packed. I made my way toward the street level and for the first time in centuries I felt free. I hailed a cab and made my way toward the airport in Italy.

On the trip on contemplated what I would do once I was in Forks. I had unlimited funds that was what 100 years of not spending much money. I lived with the Volturi which did not give me enough room to do much except what Aro wanted me to do. I was not proud of some of the thing that I have done. The cab made it the airport in record time I made my way to the ticket counter and purchased a one way ticket to Washington. I prepared myself mentally for what I would find their even though I knew that everyone that I knew would be gone. I was alone and it was a welcoming thought after 100 years of something that cannot be called living in hell. I am ready to face my future and what it may bring.
