"Uncle Aro...what a pleasure it is to see you," I smiled, kissing Aro on both cheeks,"Glad you could make it!"

He put his bags by the door and ushered one of the guards to take his bags to one of the guest rooms in the west wing.

"It was you who invited me after all, dear Alice. It's been two centuries, my dear," He spoke slowly certainly as he had all the time in the world – and well he sort of did,"You've always come to my aid in the past when I needed it, and I presumed you needed me now and here I stand. How is your other lime green...Jasper? Was it?"

"My other half is fine. He's probably hunting The Lost or in the boardroom or training our new guest that arrived last night," We began to walk and it seemed that Aro was leading us to the indoor Garden – Where the exotic Koi fish swam in the pond, "Everyone had an early morning,"

"Guest?" Aro inquired.

Oh Alice!

Nobody else except Our Team in the Rolocks – the four of us – knew who Isabella really was and not may know she's living among us in the many headquarters instead of the other quarters of either The Lost, illegitimate or the others that were there.

"Yes, it's another one of those illegitimate cases with a human. She's being trained to handle and discover her power and of the rules," I technically lied.

"She must be from an utmost important Royal or Pure blood for the four of you to take on her case so closely. I highly doubt you'd take such care for an illegitimate black blood..." he snickered, "If I may ask...who is the demon?"

Aro sat on the bench next to the pond and put his hand in the pond gracefully touching the fish as I went and plucked a lavender.

Rolock specialized in Nature. Our gardens and natural resources where sort out by the other Covens continuously.

"Still investigating," I lied, "Aro, are you here to help me or inquire on some bastard girl?"

Sorry Bella, but that's for your own good and safety.

Today I made sure to cover my hands, I wouldn't want Aro catching a glimpse of something he shouldn't when I had my shield down for rejuvenation.

Aro has a nasty, tricky gift. It's called Sight. He can glimpse into ones past that had happened by just touching and holding onto ones hand. The longer he held on the further back he saw. In a sense he could see into your past life...Sight.

Whilst I can see into the future...Visions.

"I see you're wearing gloves, my dear Alice..." He snickered – what I could call his trademark, "Are you hiding something?"

I shook my head and laughed knowing I'd been caught but brushing it of as him being over skeptical as usual.

"Oh Uncle Aro. I'd gone on a bike ride with Jasper...I drove...we shared a bike... Should I go into detail about what else happened early this morning?" I smirked.

"I think not. I have a distaste for porn...let alone hearing about it..." He sighed, "Oh Alice, I'm feeling famished. Shall we get something to eat. These fish are seeming so tasty at this moment..."

Knowing Aro he would have grabbed one Koi and ate it if it weren't for his human form. Not that it would stop him from transforming if he wanted to. Pure bloods could act a little crazy, but good company all in all. Not to mention they possessed impeccable powers and abilities.

I had no choice but to invite him here even knowing the risk it put on Bella, and the other covens not hearing word of her existence. If they found out we'd hid this from them, it would be seen as tyranny and treason... We'd be in for war.

Edward had been reluctant on me bringing Aro here, but our Head and Deputy, Carlisle and Esme had given me the go ahead since they knew the reason but Edward on the other hand...I couldn't necessarily tell him why I had abruptly decided on inviting a Demon from another Coven to The Main Headquarters.

It is not that we're enemies with the other two covens...as for the other three that are not cursed – we loathe them. It's just that the Rolocks – Our coven – thinks it better to investigate first. Lucifer is known for his lies and devious ways.

These are days I wish I was an Angel. My day of salvation will arrive... For all the good one's... It's inevitable. It happened to my brother Emmett, I just hope I make it before it's too late. It could happen to me. I hope so.

I sighed and smiled lightly at Aro, "I'm sure lunch is ready,"

"Dear Alice...Do tell me why I am here?"

Aro, always the one getting straight to the point.

"I need your help contacting and finding my big brother Emmett..." I replied as we walked to the Diner.

It was half of why he was here. He had not seen Rosalie and Edward together ever before. Nobody else knew my brother in our Team except for Carlisle and Jasper. I hadn't seen Emmett for centuries. He turned before I'd met Edward, Rosalie and Esme.

I know once Aro sees Rosalie and Edward together but not life matches, he will not resist to tell them the truth. He had old ways and beliefs of non matches being together, it was treacherous to his eyes and other Demons with similar old mentality.

"Dear Alice. I'm sure you know that takes time and a lot of power. Not to mention he's memory got wiped out off his previous life before he turned Angel. Even if...we're able to find him...He won't remember you Alice,"

"Alice, are you listening my dear?" Aro clicked his fingers in front of my face.

The vision I just had about my brother could change everything.

"A vision I see..." Aro smiled.

"Never mind about that...will you help me? Find my brother?" I looked up at Aro earnestly.

"Yes Yes, Alice. I owe you so much for what you've done for me in the past. It's a matter of fact...I owe you my life..." He nodded holding my gloved hands between his.

I nodded back smiling slightly relieved. We sat down in the diner that had only the cook and a few workers stacking the table with food.

The diner was this cozy place with tiled floors and decorated in a red velvet décor and a little fire place on a far corner. The diner was where we all ate and was connects to the main corridor and the main kitchen doors.

Carlisle and Esme joined us after a few minutes then Jasper arrived sitting on my right whilst Aro sat on my left side. Edward and Bella followed soon after with Edward sitting opposite Jasper and Bella a seat away from Edward opposite Aro. I looked at Aro who was looking at Edward and Bella as his eyes lit up and glowed with... Wonder as he whispered, "Magical!"

Rosalie followed soon afterwards wearing Red Strapped Six inch heels with straps that went just below her knees, and a red fiery dress that stopped mid thigh. She looked magnificent, always one for the illusion and grand entrance.

She elegantly walked to the seat right between Bella and Edward sitting in the middle of them, smiling wickedly as she gave Edward a peck on the lips.

I heard the chair scrape back as I turned to Aro who began to shout after standing up abruptly.

"Treacherous! A fiend coming in between life matches!"
