She had decided from this day fourth that she Callisto Andrews would never be nice again.
The first red flag should have been when Alice had have shown up at Bella's house, the second should have been when she informed Bella of Edwards plan, the third was when Bella had asked Callisto to come with her and Alice to Italy to stop Edward and yet she had written her mom a hasty note explaining where she was going, and taken her passport and packed a bag, and now she was crammed into an elevator, with a blonde vampire who was practically breathing down her neck,
She could have stayed home and not travelled all the way to Italy to where she'd probably be eaten or drained not that it mattered now and if she made it out alive she decided this would be the last time she would ever be nice,
A snort brought her out of her mental argument with herself, she glanced at Edward who seemed to have an amused expression on his face, she sent him a mental finger he was the whole reason they were in this whole mess guilt flashed across his face, Bella had reached out and grabbed her hand squeezing it tightly, pulling her away from her thoughts the guards had led them into a throne room, with three vampires sat across from them,
These vampires looked nothing like the Cullen's not that she had seen all of the Cullen's or any other vampires for that matter, they were old and radiated power,
"Jane, dear one, you've returned!" he cried in evident delight,
He walked forward, "we sent you out for one and you've brought back two and two halves." he said looking over them as the man stepped forward both Edward and Alice moved closer to Bella as if forming a barricade around her, Bella took notice of them and reached out and yanked Callisto closer to them,
The man seemed amused by their actions, "Yes, Master." Jane smiled; the expression made her look like an angelic child. "I brought him back alive, just as you wished." Aro's hand briefly touched Janes "Ah" he said nodding and she crossed the room to stand next to a boy in a pale grey suit.
"Ahh and Bella alive and well, a happy surprise." he said looking at Bella, "Aren't you glad Edward, I didn't give you what you wished for now?" he said.
"Yes Aro." Edward answered stiffly, moving closer to Bella if that were possible,
"Let us have the story," Aro almost sang in his feathery voice, "Alice would you be so kind."
"Aro can read your thoughts every thought that's ever entered your mind but he can only do so by touch," Edward whispered to Bella,
Alice stepped forward and removed her glove and placed her hand into Aro's waiting hands "ah I do love a happy ending" he said as he let go of Alice's hand smiling at both Edward and Bella,
Callisto tuned out as they rattled on about Bella and her gift, she rubbed her arms as she shivered as beautiful as the throne room was it was freezing, it probably didn't help that the blonde human ice box was still standing right behind her,
Aro's eyes wandered to Callisto "my dear where are my manners, it seems we've forgotten about you," he said looking her over, squeezed her arms tightly wishing he had have forgotten his manners "and you are?" He asked politely moving over to her
"I'm Callisto" she stuttered,
Aro smiled "a lovely name," he said "may I"
She thought it was his intention to be comforting as he smiled and held out his hand, Callisto glanced at the Cullen's and Alice nodded and smiled but it was forced, she inhaled before taking Aro's hand.
Flashes ran through her mind, a blonde boy waiting in an alley, flames, faces standing around her,
She gasped stumbling backwards she would have hit the floor had it not been for Demetri who caught her,holding her firmly against his chest, Aro had stumbled as well "fascinating," he gasped "simply fascinating".
He looked at her "now my dear what are you?" Aro asked
Hello lovelies, I've decided a few days ago to re read the twilight books here in isolation and remembered how much i loved the Volturi and particularly Demetri, such a great character so little about him. Im sorry if the grammer or format is a little off I'm writing this on my ipad,
Please leave any thoughts you may have,
Apollo
