A/N:

Sorry for the long wait, this chapter is long overdue. I'm sorry for that but I do hope that you enjoy it.


CHAPTER 3

CARLISLE POV:

How could I have missed this? I must say, Isabella is a very good actress because i'll tell you something, it's difficult to hide such important details about your life from the people you know.

I can't believe I didn't recognize Isabella, or maybe it is believable, because Bella is posing as a human, and the Isabella that I know was seen for the last time around two-hundred years ago. Although many knew she was alive, she acted like a ghost never to be seen or heard from. I still remember the first time I saw Isabella...

FLASHBACK

I was standing beside Aro, one of the three Kings of the Vampire race, he ruled alongside his brothers, Caius and Marcus. I had come to the Volturi as a means of escape, this isn't the life I had wanted to live. I had been told by another Vampire that the Volturi will grant your wish if that wish is to die. I had gone to the Volturi, hoping for death, but it never came.

Instead, the leader of the three Kings, Aro, had offered me a place on the Volturi gaurd, simply telling me that my gift of compassion could be a valuable assett in important situatuons. Although I had declined the offer, I had stayed by the Volturi for a few decades.

During that time, I had become Aro's right hand man, mostly by giving him advice when he was about to make brash decisions.

I had been stood next to Aro, having a laugh and a joke with him, because there was nothing of importance to be done at the time, when in walked Isabella. Her head was held high, and the way she held her posture was as though she owned the place.

She seemed human enough, but we would soon learn that wasn't the case.

'You,' shouted Aro. 'Stop right where you are. I don't remember giving any orders stating that a human was allowed in the throne room. What gives you the right to be here? As a result of your disrespect, my gaurds could kill you and rid of your body. No-one will ever know.'

The woman laughed and Aro stared on in disbelief.

'You think this is funny?! Do you have a death wish?'

The woman could barely contain her laughter, enough to say the words. 'Aro, my dear, I find it very funny that you think you are a match to me. I am far superior to you.'

'My name is Master Aro, child. I am a KING. You do not address me by my first name and...'

'Blah blah blah, yap yap yap. You done talking? Good. Now as I was saying, if i really wanted to, I could take down every Cold One in this Castle if I felt like it , including everyone in the Vampire gaurd...'

'She needs to be killed, she knows of our kind.'

'I wasn't done speaking. In fact, i'm very upset that you don't recognize me. You seem to be around my brother so much I thought you would have immediately noticed some of the features we share, not to mention my accent. Can you not place my accent? Dearie me.

The reason why I am here is to make sure the Volturi are keeping themselves in check, my brother has yet to do it, so since I was nearby, i'm deciding to help him out a bit.' She smiled.

Casting a glance around the room, I noticed that all three kings looked curious and slightly worried.

'What is your name?' Aro's voice shook.

'My name...is Isabella Mikaelson.'

Aro's face paled.

END FLASHBACK

If i can remember correctly, Isabella was more ruthless in punishment than her brother. The Volturi, including the three kings, quickly stood down, knowing their place. After that day, Isabella had become the Queen of the Volturi, behind closed doors, she was the leader. The kings still had their thrones, Isabella didn't want anybody to find out of the change in rulership. Isabella never stayed for long either, she had only come back every once in a while to ensure that her rules were being followed.

I am fearful for Edward, knowing that he has disrespected Bella could mean there may be some serious consequences for him and the rest of my family. I just hope that Isabella is lenient in her punishment, because it's coming, God I know it's coming.
