Last time on BE:
The vampire in the middle stood up and out stretched his hands in a welcome gesture as he said,
"Welcome to Volterra, Bella."
Welcome my ass. It's not like I want to be here! Bella thought as she stayed on the floor with her knee's bent under her in an awkward bowing position, meant for showing respect to their highness'. Their my enemy. I cant respect them.
"I hope you don't mind your sudden visit, it's just that when Victoria told us about you I couldn't help but find myself intrigued." The vampire who welcomed her said and then introduced himself and his brothers.
"My name is Aro. My brothers over there are Marcus and Caius."
"It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Isabella, but please call me Bella." Bella said to them quietly praying desperately that none of her frustration was showing on her face or in her body language.
Aro walked forward with his hand outstretched until he came to a stop in front of Bella and Victoria. He grabbed Victoria's hand in his own, started muttering for a few seconds then let go. Well no-one's freaking out so apparently this is normal behaviour for him then.
"Thank you Victoria," He started, "Your memories were quite informative. Just like I believed they would be."
Memories? What the hell is he taking about? Bella thought. She tensed up as Aro came over to her with his hand stuck out like he was going to do the same thing he did to Victoria to her.
"Isabella, if I may can I take your hand? I can see every single memory and thoughts a person has had when I touch them, you see." He explained to her like an owner trying to approach their frightened animal.
She reached out her hand slowly and Aro descended upon it in a similar fashion as what he did to Victoria. A few minutes had passed and nothing, absolutely nothing had passed through his highness' lips until he let one breathy chuckle escape. Which soon rang out around the room in astonishment.
Aro turned around to his brothers. What a wonderful surprise, he thought.
"It's absolutely magnificent brothers, what a rare human was have our hands upon!" he exclaimed his voice a few notches higher than his usual light airy talk.
"Why is that brother?" Marcus, the one with the dark curly locks, asked Aro in a low voice.
"Nothing. I heard absolutely nothing. It was like a blank tape, nothing recorded on it." Aro replied his voice still held excitement of his newly found discovery.
"Imagine what she would be like as one of us, my dearest broth-" He continued on and was interrupted by a angry voice breaking into his mini speech.
"No, I say kill her and be done with it. She knows our secret, she's human it would be a violation of our own laws if we let her leave her alive." He hissed out in barely suppressed anger at his own brothers foolishness.
"Exactly, if we let her leave with her life, but it would not be if we kept her here in the castle." Marcus began, actually seeming interested in the conversation for once. "We can use the time she will be here as a means of getting some more information about what the Cullen's have been doing, as of late. You can not tell me you are not curious about why they left with her knowing our secret and all."
Aro grinned at his brother's plan, it was perfect no-one could object without questioning their word. He turned to Bella.
"You will stay here until we see fit. Felix show her to the room, she we'll be staying there until further notice." Aro directed the sentence towards both Bella and Felix.
Felix was a large man due to his muscles, sort of like Emmett. Eager to please their majesty's he instantly took Bella out of the room with a small pull on her arm after going down a few long winding corridors he turned back to look at her.
"It's not that bad here. We're all like one big happy family, you just have to be careful of some off the younger guards. They tend to be a bit blood thirsty." He told Bella hoping to wipe away some of her worries with the reassurance that her little stay at Volterra would be pleasant.
In the throne room, after Bella had been escorted out by Felix and Aro had dismissed all the other guards. He turned to Victoria.
"We thank you for bringing Isabella to our attention, when we have reached our decision we will inform you as soon as possible. I hope you have a pleasant stay." He told her, but Victoria was lost in her own thoughts.
They've took a liking to her. Shit! It's just what a thought might happen. Damn that brat! She will meet the arms of death by my hand that I am certain of. Muttering a quite pleasure to be of service to you, she turned and took off to the castle's entrance wanting to be out of this place as soon as possible.
I have plan's I need to rethink. I will have to be extra careful one mistake and it'll be my neck snapped like a twig. She thought grimily.
With everyone having left the throne room. Aro once again began to talk to his brothers.
"It was such a pleasant surprise for this to happen, Marcus you actually sounded interested for once." He told him.
"I had to be after I saw her bonds. They were quite intriguing actually." Marcus replied to his over flamboyant brother.
"Oh, do tell." Aro said anxiously.
"That is for me to know and for you to wait and find out." Marcus told him mysteriously after he stood up and exited the room making the way to his private chambers.
"What do you think of our Isabella, Caius?" Aro asked his other brother questioningly.
Caius growled in response back at him, to frustrated to reply. Seeing that he will get no answer out of Caius any time soon, Aro turned and left going to his study to finish off the rest of the paper-work what was currently sitting on his desk next to his quill and feather, beckoning him to come and get it finish even if it meant the equivalent of a vampire headache in the morning.
After Aro had left, Caius sat still on his thrown thoughts running through his head. That girl- no Isabella is different, I do not care who objects that girl will be mine! I will not hesitate to kill anyone who objects to it! I get what I want! And I want her.
Hope you guys enjoy. A little insight into Caius thoughts, don't worry we will be going back to La Push soon to see how Jared and the others are handling the disappearance of Bella. Just a thought should I get a beta reader?
