Guys! Here is Chapter 10. Sorry for keeping you guys waiting, I've been busy with school which makes it hard to update. So for that, I apologize.

Please review guys. You guys motivate me to keep writing! :D

Demetri POV

Why do I always have to screw something up? First Michelle sees me and the others feed on the tourists. And now in the heat of the moment, I almost bite Michelle which would screw up her life. The bloodlust got to me and it was hard to fight off.

I was lying on the bed after I told Michelle to leave so that she could be safe when Felix bursts in the room.

"What did you do?" he asks as he approaches me. "Did you hurt Michelle?"

"Nothing, and no, I didn't hurt her, at least I don't think I did. Did you see her, how was she?"

"Aro and I were walking by when she ran up to us. She told us that your eyes had changed color. Aro told me to come and check on you. She will be fine after you tell her what happened."

I stood up and looked at the bed. I saw streaks of blood on the sheets. Damnit.

"Looks like you two got really into…"

"We didn't have sex if that's what you are implying. Just a makeout session, is all." I walked over to the closet and took out another shirt and buttoned it up. I looked through the closet and took out my cloak. "Let's go Felix, I want to find Michelle before the Cullen's get here."

"Are you sure you want to do that right now? Your eyes are still partially black and we can't risk you hurting Michelle again…"

"You're right Felix. Let's go see Aro, perhaps he can tell me how Michelle is."

"Where is he Demetri?" I looked deep into my mind and zeroed in on Aro tenor. Meeting room.

"Outside the meeting room." We left the room and ran downstairs to the meeting room. Before we got there, we were stopped by Alec.

"Hello Alec," I said.

"Demetri, Felix, the Cullen's are here, go to the meeting room immediately and get ready. Aro will be in there shortly. The others are already inside. Go now." Alec ran towards the meeting room, as did we. When we got there, we opened the doors and saw that Aro was sitting on his throne.

"Thank you for joining us boys," Aro said, his eyes gravitating towards me while he spoke. "Demetri, front and center please." I went up to Aro, knowing where this conversation would be going.

"Michelle is doing well, other than some scratches you gave her on her stomach. Tell me, what happened?

"Master, we were…umm… well she and I… you know…it's complicated." Seeing that I was having difficulty explain what had happened, Aro took my hand and looked inside my head for answers. There was no hiding it now.

"I see," Aro said as he released my hand, "no need to be embarrassed Demetri, it is perfectly natural. Next time however, feed on an extra human or two, we wouldn't want Michelle to get hurt, she is much too important for you and I. You are dismissed, return to your post." I bowed and returned to my place next to Felix.

The door swung open and in came Jane, Carlisle, Alice, Edward, and his human, Bella. I scoffed as their smell filled the room. The guards closed the doors and the conversation began.

"Carlisle, it has been a long time! How have you been?" Aro said as he took Carlisle's hand into his.

"Surely you don't need me to tell you, as you have already seen. You did not summon us here just to talk, Aro, what is it you want?" Carlisle said.

Aro let go of Carlisle's hand. "Well, if you recall, one year ago we told you that Bella had to be changed within a year, and here we are, a year later and still nothing. Tell me, why is that?"

"She doesn't want to be changed, she wants to remain human," Edward said out, hanging his head low. Bella looked at him, shocked that he would say that so soon.

"What a shame. You'd make such a great vampire but unfortunately we will never see that come true will we? What to do, what to do…" I could see Aro licking his lips, already imaging the taste of her blood.

"You know what you will do Aro. We gave them orders and they disobeyed. They must be punished," Caius said, his voice escalating in anger and annoyance.

"Peace brother, but you are right. Demetri, show our guests to their rooms while my brothers and I deliberate."

"Certainly master," I walked toward the doors and escorted them out.

Michelle POV

I wandered around in the library, looking for some other books that will keep me busy while Demetri and the others finish their meeting. I took out another Jane Austen novel that I haven't read yet and found a book of poetry that seemed interesting. I left the library and went down to the meeting hall to wait for Demetri. As I walked towards Gianna's desk, I noticed a guy sitting on the bench outside the room. I was hesitant to walk over there, knowing that that was probably a vampire who could kill me in a matter of seconds but still made my way over there.

I was a couple feet away when he turned his head to see me. I gave him a nervous smile as I sat down at the desk. I couldn't help but notice how beautiful he was. He had short blonde hair, his skin pale with a hint of olive, and his eyes were a topaz color. I could see faint scars on his face but quickly looked away so I didn't appear rude.

"Good afternoon ," I said, my voice and body tense. He turned around and faced me. He too looked tense.

"Hello, you must Michelle," he man said. How did he know my name?

"Yeah, I'm Michelle…how did you know my name? What's your name?"

"It's a long story," he said, "my name is Jasper Hale, nice to meet you Michelle."

"Same here. Hey, I have an out there question for you, are you a…a… vampire?" I asked, stuttering at the last word.

"Quite observant you are. I am a vampire, a vegetarian one, hence the topaz eyes. Relax, I don't drink human blood anymore ever since I joined the Cullen's." I suddenly remembered what Demetri had told me about them, some of them have abilities.

"I'm not that nervous anymore, I've been living here for about a month now so I'm used to being around vampires."

Jasper's expression changed to a shocked one when I had finished speaking. "You live with the Volturi?"

"Yeah, it's a long story. Long story short , I was dying, Demetri brought me here and since I have some fancy ability, Aro let me stay."

I saw something move out of the corner of my eye. I turned my head and saw that the doors of the meeting room were opening and Demetri was in front, leading some people out. I ran over to his side.

"You're finally out, I though you'd never get out." He put is arm behind me and kissed the top of my head.

"How are you love? You aren't hurt from earlier are you?"

"I have some scratches on my stomach and on my back but other that that, I'm fine."

"I'm so sorry love, I'll make it up to you. I promise."

"Michelle!" I looked around to see who had called out my name and it was one of the girls that was behind Demetri. She was about my height with short brown hair and topaz colored eyes. She ran up to me and gave me a big hug.

"Hello? You're sort of cutting off my air supply…"

"Sorry," she said as she let go, "I'm Alice, I saw you in one of my visions a couple days ago, we are going to be great friends!"

"Visions? As in visions of the future?"

"Yup."

"Let's keep walking. We are almost at your rooms."

We walked up the stairs and stopped at two rooms.

"The human will stay in a separate room per Aro's orders. We will come find you when the Master's are ready to hand down their verdict. Until then, you may roam around the city." Demetri began to walk away and when he noticed that I wasn't at his side, he stopped.

"Are you staying with them?"

"Can I? I want to talk to Alice, I have some questions about these visions I have and she might be able to answer them."

"Ok, but be careful. If they hurt you, tell me immediately and they will be dealt with accordingly. I'll be in my room if you need me." And with that, Demetri ran off.

I knocked on Alice's door but this time, someone else answered it. He had the same pale skin and topaz eyes that Alice and Jasper had, only this guy had dark blonde hair. Who is this guy?

"I'm Edward Cullen."
