Hello my name is Ruby Swan I'm younger, by a few minutes, fraternal twin sister to one Bella Swan. Bella and I are 18. Right now we are running towards a clock tower trying to stop my sister's vampire ex-boyfriend from killing himself.

I guess while I have a minute I'll tell you what I look like. I'm 5'3 with soft brown curly hair, my eyes are bright green, and have ruby red lips naturally. I don't look very much like Bella or act very much like her either.

I think that might be why mom named me Ruby, my lips. We are finally in front of the clock tower and we stop Edward just as he comes outside to reveal himself.

Yes I know he's a vampire I helped Bella figure it out. I know everything she knows including the stuff about the shapeshifters in La Push.

As soon as we're inside the clock tower I softly say, "Edward you shouldn't have done this. We could all get killed because we're here."

He glares at me and went to say something when Alice and two men appear. One of the men says, "Aro requests your presence again, dear Edward."

Edward nods and says, "Bella take your sister and go watch the parade with Alice."

I don't think our new friends are going to let us do that. If Edward wasn't so dramatic we wouldn't be in this position.

Then a girl appears, "Come along. What is taking so long?"

Alice was trying to push us out the door but the girl stopped her, "Aro request all of your presence."

Edward says it's unnecessary. I get tired of the bicker so I interrupt, "Edward there is no way around this let's just go with them."

He sighs knowing I am right and hating it. He always hates when I am right, the girl looks at me and says, "You are very wise young one."

She then turns and starts walking away, the two men follow behind her, as did the rest of us. I stay silent as Alice and Edward reassure Bella she'd be ok. And I was glad they were going to protect my sister even if it means I may die.

We walk into a grand throne room and a man with long black hair stands from his throne and says, "Welcome friends. Ah young Bella is still alive how lovely." He asks for her hand when he can't read her thoughts then he gets the girl who led us here to try to use her gift on her then all hell breaks loose.

I cower in the corner scared of what is happening. Aro notices me cowering to the side and asks, "Who might you be young one?"

I speak quietly as I say, "Ruby Swan. I'm Bella's sister."

He smiles at me not the terrifying smirk he gave Bella but a real smile as he rushes to me and takes my hand. I know he's trying to read my thoughts, but he also helps me up and leads me to the center where everything is going on.

He says, "Well I'm Aro. The man who sits to my left is Marcus and the man who sits to my right is Caius."

I look at both men, but when I see Caius and our eyes meet my world stops. He was the most gorgeous man I'd ever seen in my life. His dark harsh gaze seemed to soften on me for a second, but then it was back.

I curtsied to the king's and say, "It is a great honor to meet you all."

Aro smiles at me again and Marcus did as well causing the whole guard to gasp. I assume he doesn't smile very much.

Bella then screams, "Ruby don't bow to the monsters!"

I turn to her and say, "Bella don't be rude, they're doing their job to protect their kind. These laws were meant for their safety and maybe if you tried to calmly talk to them without Edward attacking people we could get everything solved."

She and Edward glare at me and Caius says, "Don't glare at her for being sensible. You should not test our patients."

Aro nods and says, "Now we have a dilemma. Two humans know of our existence and there are no plans to change them."

Alice screams, "No Bella will change, she'll be one of us I've seen it."

Aro takes her hand and says, "Very well we will be checking in to make sure Bella changes. Now what about dear Ruby?"

They all go silent and I sigh," Aro do what you must with me."

He looks sadly at me and then Caius says, "She will stay here in the castle and be changed after she has aged a little."

I nod my head and respectful say, "Yes master Caius."

He smirks at me and Aro claps gleefully and says, "Excellent, excellent. Bella, Edward, Alice please take your leave and remember the Voltouri don't offer second chances." They nod and run from the room.

I sigh. My sister just abandoned me in a room full of vampires and I'm not surprised. Marcus says, "Don't worry child, we wish no harm."

I smile and say, "I believe you Master Marcus."

He smiles softly and says, "Just Marcus child."

I nod and smile, "Of Marcus."

Aro then says, "Jane show Ruby to a guest room please."

Caius then says, "The one next to my room, Jane."

She nods, takes my hand and pulls me out of the throne room. She was the girl who led us there. I look at her and say, "You're very pretty."

She looks at me in shock for a minute then smiles, "Thank you Ruby you're very pretty yourself."

I smile and say, "Thank you, Jane. I hope while I'm here we can be friends."

She smiles too and says, "I hope so too, Ruby."

We laugh softly and continue to talk about many different things as we walk to the guest room I'd be staying in. When we get there and I walk inside I saw the most beautiful room I'd ever seen in my life and it was huge.

Jane smiles at me then leavrdbme alone to get settled in. I know all the people here are supposed to be evil, but I don't think it's going to be that bad here.
