Bella pov

I awoke to the smell of toast and a flattery noise I opened my eyes and everything was so bright I had to close them again I could feel the soft bed under me was I home was I In Edwards room would I open my eyes and see him then it hit me no I wouldn't I was with the volturi a prisoner a weapon to use against the Cullen I had to fight this I opened my eyes slowly until they where adjusted and sat up slowly sat up but felt a warm hand on my arm "sorry dear not to fast you fainted and where out like a log" the girl said flicking her blonde hair back from her blue eyes she was very pretty but she was human she handed me a silver tray with a small plate with toast, orange juice and coffee "I'm sorry my name is Maria" she said with a smile that reaches her eyes and sparkling white teeth "I know your Bella I am your well let's just say friend I'm here to help with anything you need" she said smiling I picked up the toast and nibbled on it my stomach is still in knots I just nodded at her and she left the room I drank the sweet orange and a slice of toast and a sip of coffee and put the tray on the bedside table I closed my eyes again and a flash of Edward sad and in the red volturi cloak living a life he hates to be with me Alice and jasper on the run for the rest of their life's and I destroyed the Cullen family Esme's heart will be broken Carlisle work with them as vegetarians over Edwards red eyes hunting me I opened my eyes and Maria was in the room but I never heard her come in

"still tired I thought you wouldn't be after how long you where asleep" she said a little sad

"how long have I been asleep for" trying to resist a yawn my eyes not leaving face as her mouths turns up into a small soft smile "18 hours I've been keeping an eye on you to make sure you didn't have concussion you bumped your head when you fell but master aro said you where breathing fine and your heartbeat where regular but he called a doctor in to make sure" she said gliding over the room to the large curtains pulling them open softly but the light was bright pulling my hand to cover my eyes I pulled the cover off myself and let my feet touch the cold hard ground what have I done Edward is gone Jacob poor Jacob what will he think of me and Charlie what will he think

"what will happen now" I ask trying to sound confident as I turn to Maria

She turns from the window with a smile on her face "get dressed of course" she laughs

I'm dressed in a light blue jeans and a long sleeve top walking through a corridor with Maria she is silent head low looking at the floor but she knows every step I hesitate as we reach large doors knowing aro is just beyond them what will he do what will he want from me I turn to Maria pleading with my eyes but she just gives me a creepy quirky smile I can't read the doors open and it's brighter than I expected I follow Maria in and stop a where I stood with Edward the day before wishing he was here would Alice be watching me would they be making a plan to get me out I hope there not I don't want them hurt over me "oh dear child are you feeling better now" aro says nearly sounding genuine I'm not convinced I know he would of let Edward die and me and Alice as well "Yes I do th thank you" I stutter great I look at him his long dark hair and white marvel skin his eyes blood red a flash of a confident smile passes just as I catch it "Well you shall be turned you will be a part of our family" he says arms raising up then back to his sides Jane is here now with the blonde vampire and dark haired vampire I remember her trying to use her power on me but it didn't work she wasn't happy she still isn't "it's just a matter of when" he says dragging it out when I don't talk to him but my eyes now shoot back to him I can feel my heart beat in my head and my body goes cold "why" is all I can muster "oh dear child don't you see your special and we'd love to have you now Edward wouldn't change you we know that's what you want so I'll give you it as a gift" he says like he is the most confident person in the world "but why me why am I so special" I says trying to sound weak aro can't read my thoughts if I seem weak which I am to a vampire will he try make me stronger come to trust me allow me to leave eventually oh eventually what will he make me do who would I have to kill I feel tears now taste the salt but that just adds to my weakness and he's beside me wiping a stray tear away "oh my dear sweet child Edwards love for you started as blood lust then he couldn't read your thoughts it made him want you someone who is a mystery" he says leading me to his thrones as he sits he leads me to the ground at his feet where all other weakling belongs in the dirt at his feet I'm staring at the marble floor cold hard will this be me as a vampire "now child would you like to become a vampire like us be someone in this world or live your human years with Edward till you grow old and die" he says sympathetically trying to convince me I would take growing old with Edward I would but how to get out of this I don't know how I'm going to "Yes I would like to join you" I say shocked at the words that came out of my mouth I stand and walk back to the middle of the hall and turn back to aro " but only when I'm ready and in my own way I by who I choose to turn me then I'll be yours forever master" I curtly as I say this last part when I lift my head up I see the shock in aro's face the dark haired vampire is still in a day dream but the blonde vampire is smiling and not a evil smile and I'm surprised to find myself smiling back at him I turn and walk out the room with my head held high I make it to the end of the hall and my stomach is in knots what have I done I agreed one day and I'm turning into someone else I actually scared myself with the determination in my words in my actions at the end of the hall I see a light and walk to it
