A.N. SailorJupiter001: here you go, because you asked so nicely! ;)
Callen sighed as she sat down in the antechamber. The thrones here were made of wood and were placed against the back wall instead of sitting in the middle of the room. One of the women who had been assigned to guard Callen asked if she needed anything.
"Could you get me something to drink? Water, tea, something like that?" Within a few moments, she had a drink and she slowly sipped it as the all waited for Jane and the others to return. Marcus and Caius were sitting on their thrones, chatting quietly with each other. Aro paced slowly in front of Callen's throne, hands tented in front of his mouth. They all knew that this was a matter of importance and needed to be handled delicately. Therefore Aro would probably do most of the talking.
Moments later, Jane and Alec entered the chamber. Edward was behind them along with two women that Callen didn't know. Based on the description she was given, Callen guessed that the terrified looking human had to be Isabella Swan. She didn't know who the female vampire was, Rosalie Cullen or perhaps Alice, and before she could think too much about it, Aro began speaking. Callen did her best to stay inconspicuous for as long as possible.
They all listened intently as Aro spoke, analyzing the situation in their own ways. Marcus showed Aro his thoughts once but only to show how strong the bond was between Edward and his human. Edward was just as Callen expected; rude and impatient. Isabella Swan was mostly silent except for the occasional whimper. During the exchange, Callen kept quiet and none of the guests seemed to notice her.
Bella P.O.V.
I felt another shiver roll through my body and didn't bother suppressing it. I was freezing from my proximity to Edward and my dip in the fountain but I couldn't bear to move. Drawing as little attention to myself as possible seemed like a good idea. Edward was being incredibly rude to Aro which seemed like a terrible way to keep us alive. Suddenly Aro asked Edward if I was immune to more than just his gift.
"Aro, don't speak as if the girl isn't standing in front of you. Manners, darling." The voice belonged to a woman and I struggled to place it until she rose from her seat. Once I saw her, I couldn't help but gape. She was the most beautiful person I had ever seen, Rosalie included. From the way her dress fit her curves to her ice blue eyes, she was stunning. She was also definitely human. Then my traitorous mouth moved without permission.
"You're a human!" I blushed brightly but I couldn't make myself look away from her. Smiling, she set down the book she had been holding then walked toward us. She whispered to the vampire guarding her who then disappeared. A second later, a blanket had been draped across my shoulders. I was too stunned at the kind gesture, one I hadn't expected to find here, to say anything. Edward was growling lowly and I was confused. She was human, she seemed nice, and she was beautiful. Was she dangerous? Who was she?
A.N. Sorry, I know this one is rather short. Please review! I'm getting stuck on this story because I'm not really sure if people are liking it so let me know!
