Chapter 5
I walk to the middle of the room head held high after my last visit in this room is do not want to be known as the girl with the short temper or split personality aro rises he looks sad but I can't tell if he's playing me or he's ready to leak out his plan to turn me
"dear child how are you today" he says rather convincingly I look around the dark haired vampire is once again staring into space no surprise there but the blonde sadistic vampire is not looking at me with his usual smile but at something else and not even at me
"I'm fine thank you aro" I smile to ensure my confidence "Well we have heard from the Cullen late last night we called for you but you where asleep and wouldn't answer to Maria" he nodded as if he is recalling the memory he puts his hand on mine and gestures me to sit at a marvel table I never noticed before "child I will never be able to embrace the sensation of touching you and not know your thoughts it nags at me to be honest" a small smile slides past his lips "what did the Cullen say" I ask impatiently he looks at me a little ashamed "Well the letter was addressed to you but as you may or may not understand I read it first" he nods he read it to make sure they weren't planning an attack on him a rescue for me I gave a small nod in return trying not to scream at him to give it to me or let me read it or what was in the letter he looks down at my hand that is now tightened on his he leans passed me and picks up a small letter and hands it to me "please sit and read it here isabella" and stands and is back on his throne they all know what's inside this letter they have read it is it bad has he agreed to join the volturi if he did aro would be over the moon is Charlie ok I can't read it my hands are shaken I just stare at it "can i get some tea Maria" I say not turning to even look at her or to see if she's even here a wait until a tray with tea and sugar and milk is put down in front of me and pour myself some in a mug I turn back to letter and open it
My dearest bella
I can only write this letter to you as I cannot come in person Charlie is in good health and was told you where accepted into college early and will graduate high school due course. Your friends are of course fine and a understanding has been met
I have been living with our cousins as you know them I have recently come to realise my feelings for Tanya and are now living with them and will be for as long as need be
I am truly sorry
Edward
I am shocked at this my hands are shaken and my mind is in overdrive my feelings for Tanya oh no Tanya he is with her and I'm here for him because I love him I'm here to save him and he left me how can he leave me there are no tears in my eyes just horror I will surely die now they have no need for me what can I give them I stand and stare at aro he sits and stares at me what will I do I'm going to die for nothing for someone I thought loved me he said he did not when he left me but when he thought I died he came here to kill himself because he couldn't live without me or was it the guilt of me dying that he thought it was his fault and he waited until now to do this to me no no there's got to be a mistake but it's his written I can feel my heart shattering inside my chest jagging into my ribs and lungs he's done it again now there is no sun my sun my Jacob to pull me through to help me forget betrayed twice I should of listened to Jacob and stayed with him and been the Wolf girl
I turn from aro but I cannot move everything is so slow I cannot speak I'm scared to speak incase it breaks me how can this happen
Maria is beside me now the first time she looks at me her eye is swollen red black Blue almost purple everything explodes the happy nice girl that spoke to me that very first day had gone quiet and her head was bent down staring at the floor I ignored it thinking i angered her now I feel the anger from today's events to her eye all boil the surface I can't hold onto it i feel like a bomb going to explode I grab her arm and pull her hair back her face is frightened and now aro and the blonde haired vampire are beside us like the soft kitten is now a senile ravage beast going to hurt this poor girl but the marks trail down her cheek to her neck someone hurt this girl really hurt her
"what happened to you" I demand loudly angry
"I" but she looks away from me to the floor aro and the blonde vampire step back from us "tell me now" my hair coming over my face I demand her to answer me I turn to aro who is smiling and the blonde vampire who is unusually shocked just staring at me the tears start now and I can't stop them I'm on the floor forehead on the ground and knees to my chest "just get it over with and kill me I know I'm no use to you now I was only here for you to have Edward and alice and he no longer wants me so just do it" I half scream have gurgle at him I feel the cold hand on my arm and I am made to stand the blonde vampire stares at me with anger and disappointment
"you will not act this way you are to become a member of the volturi your temper tantrums will get you no where and as for your slave girl we will find out what happened to her so calm down" he now demands me "her name is Maria" I said trying to calm down I look at around who is now glancing at me amused "Well now that's done maybe you'd like to finish your tea" aro says but before I can answer I'm pulled to the table to sit and I have the mug in my hands warming me
Aro is a few steps from me with Maria "caius" he calls and the blonde vampire goes to him they whisper then caius is gone I sip my tea my fingers trembling around the cup
"don't worry child you heard caius you are to be a member of the volturi and with your gifts we won't need Edward" he smiles at me a soft comforting smile I can't think of Edward not now not without feeling angry at him and Tanya and what he's done to me
Cauis returns 20 minutes later all the tea gone and a human trailing after him Maria is now beside me she has a shake at the sight of this women what did she do to her I look at this brunette plain women and she is on her knees to aro
"what do you do here" he asks her
She looks at him as if he's a God and she's his most faithful worshipper "I cook for the humans lord" she replies bluntly but in awe he nods and turns to Maria "do you know this girl" he amusingly asks her knowing she does "Yes my lord" she reply again "she collects food from the kitchen" aro nods "and how does these Mars come to be on her face" he asks her knowing he could just touch her but he touched Maria so wants to see if she'll lie
"she was to come get breakfast for a human and then returned the food untouched my husband told me this girl tried to seduce him when I confronted her she denied it and blamed my husband so I struck out at her" aro nods "anything else" he says "no" she replied looking at Maria now aro laughs at this "Well what a tale did your husband tell you he tried to bed her and she refused him so he told you knowing this would be the outcome humans so petty and childish you will be punished for this as this certain girl is a hand made to a new member and she is not happy with her maids face" aro smiles and the women is dragged away screaming of the unfairness of the decision against her aro now turns to me "child you are to be part of our family you will be turned in good time" he says waving his hand for us to leave "thank you my lord" I say and follow Maria out the doors
