Assignment

Bella POV:

3 years after Bella left the Cullens

Thud! I never tire of that sound.

"Well done." Felix said as he got up off the ground.

"Oh you know I could beat you in my sleep." I said, cocky as ever.

"A) You don't sleep and B) you're not that good." He said. What a lie, he hasn't beaten me in sparing in over a year.

"Yes I am, after all I rank above you now, don't I?" That was quite a sore spot for him. A month ago Aro had made me his ranking officer. It was sweet, sweet victory. My power had grown quite extensively. I could now protect anyone mentally, and no one could touch me physically, for my shield had grown solid. No one could explain why, but I didn't care . . . it was funny watching Felix squirm.

"Whatever, you suck up." He then stormed off. I snickered.

"Bella report to Aro's office, immediately," was called over the loud speakers.

What the hell does he want now? I walked to his office.

"Bella I have an assignment for you. There is a vampire by the name of Javier that owes me quite a large sum of money. I need you to go collect it for me. Here's where he will be located."

"Yes sir."

"And Bella, if you do well you will be promoted to my second in command."

"Understood." And with that I left to go find this poor man named Javier. I doubt he'll have the money, they never do.

He was located very close to here, which is probably why he was caught. I went to the bed chamber Demetri and I share . . . and before you ask, no we have not had sex together (though the entire Volturi think so). We're good friends, and he's the only one who knows anything is different about me.

"Demetri, can you come help me with my assignment?"

"Sure."

With that we were off. We caught up with the poor man in seconds. I went first, being the ranking officer.

"Hello Javier."

He stopped and looked around, shocked. "Oh, do I know you?" He asked.

"No, but I know you. I work for Aro and he wants his money." I said with an expressionless face.

He paled, if that was possible. "I-I d-don't have it yet. I h-have about half. Please don't kill me I can get the money I swear."

I looked at this poor pathetic man full of sympathy; I couldn't kill him if I had wanted to.

"I'll cut you a deal. I'll take the money you have, I'll chip in the rest, and all you have to do in return is remember the favor."

He looked . . . cautious.

"Really?"

"Really."

"Why?"

"I was like you once. I couldn't kill someone who doesn't deserve to be killed."

"Thank you!" He said so full of gratitude, giving me the money he had.

"No problem."

I then simply walked away, meeting up with Demetri.

"You shouldn't have done that." He said.

"I know, but I don't care."

He took my hand in a comforting way as if he understood exactly why I had done it. That's why I appreciated him.

I was getting tired. I probably hadn't slept in the past two months so I was due for a nap. I reported back to Aro, giving him the money and I simply went straight to bed for the next 6 hours, with Demetri always watching over me.
