Isabella's POV
After Alice told us it was Victoria leading the army, we could do nothing but silence in silence, well for the Cullens we did. The others had no idea who Victoria was. So, Edward had to explain who she was and why she wanted to make an army.
"So you're saying that since you, Edward, killed Victoria's mate, she wanted to kill yours. Which was originally was Bella? I get it now." Senna said. Senna was apart of the Egyptian Coven. She sometimes scared you, but sooner or later you're going to have to get used to it.
"Since this fight is obviously about Isabella, we will be in this without a doubt." Vincent said.
"Of course." Aro said.
"Now. Isabella, Leslie, come with us. We need to control your powers." Penelope said. "If you want, you can watch." And they did. We all went out to a clearing. The Council put a huge shield around everybody, making no one to come in or get out. The vampires had to stay clearly away from me. Then Miranda came, wanting to watch her daughter.
"Oh, you guys, this is my mother Miranda." I said.
"I'm going to go sit with the vampires, come on Leslie." Miranda said. Everyone was anticipating on what I could do. Was it dangerous to have them around? Yes. Did they care? No. They just wanted to see a witch in action. Especially since they never seen a witch. Penelope was the first to teach me, the other four stood away from me, but closer compared to the vampires.
"Now, each of the Council holds a strong power. You have heard of the five elements right?" she asked.
"I know four. Water, earth, fire, and air. I don't know the fifth." I admitted.
"Believe it or not, there's also metal. See, each of the Council members holds one of those elements. For me, it's air. Katherine is the fire. Vincent is the water. Orin is the metal, and Gary is the earth." Penelope said. "The five of us came to an agreement to teach you how to do all five."
"Is there a reason why you have to have those elements?" I asked.
"Yes. See, a witch needs those five elements when she wants to do a big spell. These little spells don't need much. Like transporting, I don't need the five elements to move somewhere else. I just need one, which is earth. That's why the five of us never leave each other's side."
"So, you're saying every witch has to learn these five elements?" I asked.
"No. The noble witches don't need to learn all five. If they wanted to, they can. But noble witches never use a big spell."
"What's considered a big spell?" I asked.
"Well, letting Alice see the future a bit more was barely considered a big spell. It's something a witch can't do on her own." she said. "A big spell is like taking out the entire state of California. That's actually over-doing it, but barely. Having to know the five elements, is considered a good thing for a witch. You will always be safe, and besides the five of us, there are only seven out there who know how to do this. Anyways it's a long history of why the Council exists and blah blah blah. But no more talking." A big gush of wind came hurdling at me, it made me fly backward. I landed on my back, and groaned at the pain.
"That wouldn't have happened if you counteracted my element." she said.
"Like I knew you were going to throw me backwards." I said. I stood up, and was pushed back again. "Stop that."
"No." she said. She threw me back further, and the pain was increasing. Finally, I was able to counteract it, but she did something that scared me a little. She was in the air, just floating there.
"How are you doing that?" I asked.
"Air... duh. You need to catch onto these things Bella." she said. She landed in front of me, and I tried to float like she did. But I couldn't get off the ground. "Your mind isn't clear Bella. Just drop everything for a while. You can do it."
"Come on sweetheart, I would like to see you fly." Emmett said. It wasn't flying Emmett... you're so cute. I smiled at that encouragement and pulled myself off the ground. But I scared myself, and once I scared myself, I was hurdling towards earth. Luckily, I landed on some type of water bubble. I looked at Vincent, who had his hand reached out towards me.
"Thanks." I said. I slid off this bubble thing, and tried again. This time, Bella, don't scare yourself. I went into the air, this time faster and was up in the sky, a little too high for me.
"Good job Bella." Penelope said. "You're such a fast learner. Now come back down, we have other things to learn. And come down slowly." Too late, I was hurdling towards earth again. This time, Gary saved me. I don't know how he did it, but vines came out of nowhere, and they wrapped around my body, making my speed slow down.
"Thank you Gary." I said. I went down, and the vines disappeared. Emmett was laughing at me, and I stuck my tongue out to him.
"Okay. Next thing to know about air is to turn it against others." she said. "This is Brian." Penelope was pointing at some man, that I didn't even notice. "He's a very good helper at being a sort of 'training dummy'."
"Hi." I said. I didn't want to hurt the poor guy.
"Hello. Isabella. I've heard a lot of things about you."
"You have?" I asked. "Most people don't know me."
"Well, you are a famous witch. Everybody's been waiting for this day." he said.
"Except for her mother." Miranda called out. Brian chuckled a little. Penelope wanted me to push Brian without touching him, of course. Penelope showed me how to do it, but he landed on his feet. I tried so many times, but this wasn't working for me. I was afraid of hurting him.
"She doesn't want to hurt him. That's why she can't do it." Orin said.
"You're not going to hurt me Bella." Brian said. "Especially for someone your size." He was calling me small... I'm not small. Compared to Emmett and Felix, yes I was small. Not compared to everyone, that was Alice.
"I'm not small." I said. Then I pushed him back. I felt wind spiraling around me. Then I noticed a huge tornado happening.
"Oh no." Penelope said. "I was going to teach you THAT later."
"How do I stop it?" I asked.
"By calming down. Before you hurt someone... like Emmett." she said. Once she said his name, it disappeared. I couldn't afford to hurt Emmett. Or his family (except for Rose and Ed). The rest I couldn't hurt by accident.
"Good job." she said. "You're doing a lot more than I thought you could handle."
"It doesn't hurt to try." I said. For the rest of my practice, she taught me everything about air, and how to use it on enemies. I was able to make a clone of myself, with air, and attack Brian without myself having to lay a finger on him. My air was so strong, I can break trees with it, and hurt a vampires body. If I were ever to do that to a human, they would most likely be dead. It was too strong for humans. I laughed in excitement and pounced around. Showing off my new element. Finally, I was done for the day. I walked over to Emmett, and pretended to throw him against the floor.
"Oo, scary." he said. I laughed, then he glared at me for a while.
"What?" I asked.
"I want to spend the rest of the day with you, if you don't mind." he said.
"Of course I don't mind." I said. Why would I mind?
We went back to the Volturi's 'castle' or whatever you want to call it, and Emmett and I had our private time together. Even though we couldn't get out in public, since Emmett's newborn stage, and the Volutri didn't want us to leave, we went to the balcony instead. The Council was in there with the Volturi, which, for some reason, made me nervous. Then I thought of Charlie, out of nowhere. He hasn't heard me in a day or two, and I don't have my phone on me. But I didn't want to ruin my time with Emmett. He was putting things off for me, just so we could be alone.
"So, what would you like to do?" He asked.
"I don't know, or care really. As long as I'm with you." I said. Emmett smiled at me.
"I love you Bella." Emmett said. That was... random.
"I love you too." I said.
"Bella, I know that we've been through tough times. ANd we've been together for such a short time. But when I say I love you, Bella, I really love you. I know that someday we will be together forever, I want to be together forever. No one has ever loved me like you have, and I'm grateful. You've been taking care of me, and still are even when things went a different direction. What I'm trying to get to, is that Bella, even though you may have other things to do, and we are totally different types of people, I want you to become my wife." he said, and slipped on one knee, "Will you marry me, Isabella?"
I froze in complete, utter shock. I didn't think that this would happen so fast. Emmett wanted to marry me, but how did I know if he was over Rosalie? I did want to marry him, but it's only been a week or two. I felt a little dizzy, and leaned against the rail.
"Emmett..." I began.
"I know it seems so soon. But I love you. Even if I don't seem over her, to you. I want you. I do, and I can't seem to live without you." He said. I swallowed hard. "Bella, you would be doing me the great honor, of marrying me. But I don't have the ring... if that's okay."
"Emmett. I don't know if you know this. I'm not the marrying type person. As in, I don't believe in marriage. You know that, because I told you. But since you kindly asked me, I will be honored to marry you Emmett Cullen." I said. He smiled and spun me around in joy. He crushed his lips against mine, and put me in a bear hug.
"Thank you Isabella. I love you so much." He said.
"I love you too. Now let's go rub it in people's face." I said. Emmett grabbed my hand and pulled me in the main room. They were all distracted by the Council and the Volturi. Something wasn't right... between these two group leaders.
"What's going on?" I asked. Emmett didn't seem to know either.
"I don't like you." Caius said to Penelope. I raised my eyebrow? Were they going to fight?
"I don't need you to like us, Caius." Penelope said. "But be careful. I know how to get rid of a vampire." Caius growled at her. I stepped in between the Volturi and the Council.
"Hold on you guys. What's going on?" I asked.
"Nothing Bella." Katherine said. "We're just settling our differences."
"Okay?" I said.
"And we're going home." Miranda said. "For tonight. We'll be back tomorrow. Come with Bella."
"Wait. I can't stay?" I asked.
"Not yet. Let's go." Leslie said. "We don't really trust the Volturi yet. Or should I say Caius?" All of us grabbed hands, and I looked at Emmett. He had sad eyes, and so did I. I didn't want to leave him...
"I'll be back." I whispered, and I left him. We arrived in the house again. It was the Council's house, not Miranda's. Miranda decorated it though. She's kind of a mixture between Esme and Renee. I sighed, and Leslie took me to my room. I didn't want to sit in my room, so after Leslie left. I decided to walk around. I wondered how to get to the Council. They stayed here, but you had to transport to get to them. I sighed, and decided not to. I didn't even know how to do that. I bit my lip, when I entered the kitchen. I haven't eaten anything all day. When I went through the doors, a man was standing there, making a sandwich.
"Hello Isabella." he said. He knew my name?
"Umm, hi. How do you know-"
"All the witches know you Isabella." he said. Oh yeah, apparently I was famous. "I made you a sandwich. It's your favorite. A ham sandwich."
"How do you know-" I began.
"See, I'm a cook. I know everybody's favorites. Witches do have jobs, and they use their power to specify for that job. It's very easy to see all of your favorites Bella." he said.
"Oh, that's really cool. I didn't catch your name, though." I said.
"It's Cory." He said.
"Thanks for the food." I said.
"You're welcome. Goodnight Isabella." Cory said. I ate my sandwich and started wondering how he knew I was hungry. I shook my head, and finished. I walked around some more, thinking about Emmett and our marriage. I became sad, and needed to get it out of my head. I walked into a garden, that was in the back. This place was very beautiful, compared to the Volturi's home. I decided to work on my element. I lifted a rose from the ground. I laughed a little. Then I decided to lift myself into the air. I didn't see where we I was, I was barely over the house. So I went higher, then saw the entire town I was in. It was beautiful. Apparently, we were on a hill, overlooking the city. Do all the leaders do that? I didn't know what state or country we were in, but it was very beautiful. I smiled and looked around. I wanted to put my powers to the test a bit more. So I moved myself towards the town. There were people out, and before I entered the town. I practiced my landing. I didn't do it that easily. I fell on my stomach. I brushed my shirt off, and went through the small city. There were people laughing and talking. There were a couple of restaurants and a club. And it was like a regular city. Shopping areas, and a mall. But then I noticed people looking at me, and staring, and whispering to each other. A small girl came bouncing towards me, and smiled at me.
"Hi Isabella." she said. The mother was trying to call her back, her name was Darlene.
"Isabella, I am so sorry about that. She's just excited to see you." the mother said.
"It's fine. She's a little cutie anyways." I said.
"Isabella. Are you alone?" Darlene asked. She seemed confused.
"Yes." I said. "I arrived here like an hour ago."
"You're alone?" the mother asked. "I thought usually the Witches Council was never to be alone."
"Oh, I'm not part of the Council." I said.
"You're not? I thought you were. Everyone thinks you are." she said.
"They said I might become a Council member. But I have to learn my elements and to control my powers." I said.
"Oh. Isabella, that's a lot of information you're giving out. As a beginner for the Council, you shouldn't be alone. Your like royalty, Isabella. And you shouldn't be alone out here, but I can't tell you what to do. So, be careful, and next time have someone with you." she said, she dragged her daughter along. I was like royalty? People were starting to stop, and look at me with shocking glances. The Council was never alone, I was alone, but not a Council member. Then I heard people gasp. I turned around to see who was gasping.
"Isabella. What are you doing out here?" some man asked. "My name is Darius, I am one of your protectors. I didn't see you in bed, so I came looking for you. You should never be alone Isabella."
"I'm truly sorry. Though, no one told me how high I actually ruled." I said.
"Oh, Isabella. You're as high as a Council member." Darius said. He gave me a cloak. It was black, and golden in the inside. Just like the Council's cloaks. "You cannot be alone."
"I wanted to check out the city." I said. "Speaking of which, what city are we in?"
"This isn't a regular city Isabella. It's another dimension, for the witches. There are more towns, full of witches in this dimension. This is the Council's town. I don't know if you've seen it, but over 100,000 miles to the left and to the right are the other towns. There's only three in this dimension."
"Is there another dimension?" I asked.
"Well, the ones that the vampires, humans, and werewolves live on. The Council made another dimension for us, to protect the witches secret. But the witches don't have to live here. They go back and forth between the two dimensions."
"I didn't think there were so many witches here." I said. It was truly amazing.
"You can consider us a big happy family, if you wanted to." Darius said.
"Do you think you could show me around, then Darius?" I asked.
"Of course. You are my leader." Darius said. "Please clear out for Isabella." The crowd moved, and another man came out. He was another protector. "This is Claus." I nodded.
For an hour or two, we walked around the town. I visited a book store, and a clothing store. There was a bakery here, and I got a cookie. Most people were greeting me by bowing their heads or calling Queen Isabella. I giggled at it sometimes. I didn't mind becoming a Council member. But I didn't want to be away from Emmett. I wanted us to have a life forever, and together. After a while of walking, we finally went home.
"Thank you for taking me out, both of you." I said to Darius and Claus.
"The pleasure is ours Isabella." They both said. They led me up to my room. I said goodnight, and went into my bedroom. Before I closed the door, Claus pointed out my closet for me.
"Thank you. Goodnight." I said. The door closed, and I went to my closet. This place was worse than Alice. My jaw literally dropped on the floor. Not only did I have this huge walk in closet, there was another floor to it. It was hard to find my clothes. They were separated into sections. Winter, fall, spring, summer, physical, swimwear. Finally I found my pajamas. They were on the second on the floor, towards the back. I sighed, and pulled out some pajama pants and a tank top. I made my way to my bathroom, to see how big it was. It was like the room, red and white. There was a big tub, and a nice shower. The shower was made of stone. Esme would love this place.
I went to bed, around 11. The bed was the most softest bed I have ever slept in. I smiled, and fell asleep so easily. Tomorrow, I had to tell Emmett about this place. Emmett... A small pain came into my chest, as I longed for him.
In the morning, I immediately got dressed in black jeans, and a silky green shirt. I curled my hair, and pulled it up. I actually thought I looked pretty. It's not often that I compliment myself. I walked out my room, to see Darius and Claus waiting for me.
"How long have you two been up?" I asked.
"Ever since you've awaken Miss Bella." Darius said. "Where's your cloak?" I went back into the room, and retrieved my cloak. I slipped it on, and walked out the room.
"You look very lovely today Isabella." Claus smiled.
"Thank you." I said. We went to the kitchen, and Cory was making us our food. After eating, Darius and Claus took me to the Council. They were there, along with Miranda and Leslie. Leslie wasn't going today, and neither was Miranda. Darius and Claus were to come, and watch over me, even though I didn't need it. Today, I was also to learn about fire with Katherine. Finally, we left to the Volturi, in the other dimension. There were so many things that I wanted to tell Emmett. When we arrived, Alice said there were some new news about Victoria. I wondered what they were...
