A/N: well here is another chapter. :) There's a twist in the story :)
Disclaimer: I do not own anything twilight
Previously,
"Why? How could have this happened?" I whispered my voice was dead, just like the night I lost my wife.
"Marcus what is wrong, how could of what happened?" I looked toward Carlisle, how was I supposed to tell him that his best friend is gone?
"Her bond is gone from all of us" and for once in my life time since I met Carlisle I saw him cry, he screamed as the words left my mouth and fell to the floor just like we did, the guard finally figured it out and followed suite.
"How are we going to tell everyone?" Aro choked out.
"At the ball, it's the only way everyone arrives today or tomorrow" Caius whispered. Sulpicia was now next to Aro her head buried in his shoulder like Athenodora. Carlisle was surrounded by his family who where in shock and the other mates in the room were too comforting each other. I shot up and ran to bells room in the tower and locked myself in, I lost the last of my blood family.
Marcus
As I sat on bell's bed I looked around the room, her paintings graced the walls. They were from happier times where Didyme was still with us, were Bell wasn't ashamed of her skin. Then in the far corner was a painting I have never seen before, it was faced to the wall on the floor, a note saying my name was written on it.
I moved slowly and grabbed the note; bell's elegant handwriting filled the page. From the age of the paper it was from long ago, she knew I would find it one day seeming as I visited her room often along her library.
Mio Fratellino,
I know that in one day you will find this, I saw long ago that you would be crying in my room, I never saw the reason why, please smile for me fratellino. I hope you like the painting I did for you and our brothers.
Non vivere come se la tua vita durasse mille anni, ma vivi ogni giorno come fosse l'ultimo.
Non scordare mai quanto ti amo fratellino
Isabella 1923
I realised I was sobbing when the note fell from my trembling hands, she knew of this? She should have told me if she saw herself die. I grabbed the painting and sat back down on the bed, when I turned it around I gasped.
There the first thing I noticed was Isabella's brown eyes as she sat next to me smiling, they where filled with love and innocence but wisdom held there too her hair done up in a bun with curls framing her face. Next to her stood a six year old me my murky grey eyes looking at bell with mischief and love, my black hair was short and windswept, Aro was on the other side of bell smiling with his sapphire eyes watching Didyme, Didyme was sitting in front of her looking up with a smile, her golden hair in a ponytail rested on her right shoulder as bells hand placed it there. Then Caius was standing behind her his chin resting on her shoulder, his pale blue eyes held joy.
It was in the field not far from here on one of the low tree branches, the sun was shining casting our tanned skin to give off a slight glow beside's Bell who was oddly pale for an Italian, butterflies where flying around us. I ran down to the ball room where my brothers awaited for the guests to arrive in a few hours. I had the painting facing me as I stopped in front of where Caius and Aro where sitting along with Athenodora and Sulpicia.
"Brother what have you got?" it seems that Aro has lost his joy.
"I was in bells room when I came across a painting in the corner facing the wall; it had a note from Isabella. She saw this and painted it for us." I flipped the painting around and heard them gasp.
"I remember that day; it was the first time bell took us to her special spot." Aro whispered "Didyme was dancing around the field as the butterflies flew around us."
"I remember now, bell wanted us to have a place where we could make our own. She wanted to share the place she loved so much" Caius whispered as he walked over to get a better look.
"She's an amazing painter, look how she captured all the innocence in your eyes but made them look like what you where felling that day" Athenodora said with a small amazed smile.
"Yes it makes me feel like I was there" Sulpicia said amazed, Aro held out his hands with a silent question. I carefully handed him the framed painting and watched as he walked over to a walk and hung it in an empty spot.
"There, it doesn't feel like something is missing" and he was right, the wall that held the paintings of the main royal family had felt incomplete for a long time. Now it doesn't seem that way anymore.
"Brother go get ready, Charlie is here and we wish to speak with him." Aro told me a he turned around, I nodded and quickly went to my room and got changed into my suit. I grabbed the black mask of Didyme's dresser and headed back to the throne room.
I was still broken from bell being gone, but I wanted to find out how and why this happened, when I entered the room Charlie was already there.
"What is wrong my kings that has made you all look so upset?" the bond to bell from Charlie was gone too. I sat down in my throne and waited for Aro to tell him.
"Marcus has seen Isabella's bonds to all people disappear." I loud deadly snarl escaped Charlies throat; Renata hissed and stood in front of Aro.
"I will kill that Cullen boy" I roared and stood up.
"What do you mean Charles?" I snarled out my question.
"Edward Cullen her mate yes did you not know this? He left her, but she never told him who she was only the empath. The Cullen boy told her they didn't want her and made a promise it will be like he never existed, he took all there photos they took together." I snarled and sat back down, something didn't seem right about this.
"Something doesn't seem right, how could she die? This is a plan of hers a game I know of it. We'll play along, she'll be at the ball tonight but we wont know it is her." a smile formed my lips, I knew my sister too well. I was foolish to think she was dead; she can't die even though she has tried.
"But the bond brother?" Caius looked at me.
"Are you forgetting bell's power? She can have anything she desires, what if she made us think that she was gone?" I asked and recognition flashed in their eyes.
"Alright brother, we will play along with her game." Aro chuckled as Caius smiled, Charlie excused him self saying he must retrieve his daughter.
"You know her mate is Romanian" Aro suddenly said and I frowned.
"Who's mate?" Caius asked confused yet angry.
"Maribell's, her mate is Romanian I got that when I shook Charlie's hand." He chuckled and my frown deepened.
"What is so funny about that?" I asked.
"Maribell told her father how he got scared when Isabella set herself on fire. Mari's mate has the element of fire" I chuckled then, of course bell would do that.
We heard the guests laughing in the halls and I wiped the emotion off my face and placed the black mask on, I looked at my brothers and it seemed they did too. Isabella's empty throne sat next to mine. The doors opened and I could see many new vampires amongst the older ones, once everyone was in the ballroom someone's voice filled the air.
"Where is Queen Isabella?" it was the voice of Zafrina from the Amazonians. Everyone grew quiet as they heard the question, all turned their heads in shock as they saw bell's throne empty.
"We have some bad news to share" Aro said with false sadness as he stood up.
"What is the news King Aro?" Michael from the Australian coven asked.
"Yesterday Marcus saw that bell's bond was no longer" everyone went into an up roar saying that it can't be true that this was a lie. That was until Maggie from the Irish coven spoke up.
"He's telling the truth" it was barely a whisper but everyone heard it; friends of bell broke down crying as members around them who hadn't met bell before only heard of her caught them before they hit the ground. Cries of questions filled the air.
"How could this be?"
"Who did this to her? Who took her away?"
"Isabella Volturi is no more"
I looked around the room but I couldn't find anyone who didn't fit in, I looked over at Caius and saw that he too couldn't find anyone. Maybe I was wrong, maybe she did die. I stood and turned to leave to be alone and flee to bell's room a soft whisper filled my mind.
