Two days later and after I chased after Alice and got her to change the color she was going to give me, fire flame red to a chocolate brown, I sat with next to Edward in his empty room, while he concentrated on me. Reading his mind, I figured out that he was trying to talk to me.
'Finally Bella. So are you a vampire now or not?' he asked me, sitting down next to me on his couch and placing me in his lap.
'I don't know. My grandmother said I was still human, but I have all the that make me a vampire except the bloodlust, and venom, oh, and I can be in a room of humans and not have the urge to kill them. My family were thought to be human even with our constant hunting trips. But after my great-aunt, Catherine of Aragon 'died', we went into hiding. Aunt Catherine is still alive. Even though she is Aro, Caius, and Marcus's mother, she is still good-natured. They get their evil ways from their father, my grandmothers brother, Michael of Italy. I guess you could say I have a twisted family tree. It took me about 20 years to learn it!' I said as I sensed that someone was approaching the house, in a black Mercedes'. Carlisle and Esme. " Hey Edward. I want to show you something…" I said before grabbing his hand.

As I walked through the door with my wife after our trip to Egypt, I heard Edward and a voice that was slightly deeper and richer than Bella's already sweet voice, and Alice and Rosalie's laughs as they planned shopping trips and watched Jasper beat Emmett at video games upstairs.
Suddenly with a crash, a giggling girl appeared on the couch with a startled looking Edward.
" Hey Carlisle and Esme! How was Egypt? Did you see any mummies?" the girl cried as she bounced gracefully over to us and gave each of us a hug that reminded me of Bella.
" Um… Hello… Who are you?" I questioned the girl who had Bella's features with violet eyes and golden streaked hair.
" Aw, Carlisle did you seriously forget that I'm you your future daughter?" she asked, pulling out two letters and portraits and handing them to us with a hurt expression.
"Wait, your Bella? How do-" Esme asked, but was cut off when everyone else came downstairs and greeted us.
Finally looking at the picture, I noticed that it was a little girl, Bella, a young woman, and a older woman. All three wore matching outfits and smiles, the only difference was their headdresses. The oldest, which I took to be the Queen, had on a gold crown, the young woman had on a tiara incrusted with rubies, and Bella had a matching one with the rarest of blue quartz adorning its face.
" I remember that tiara. It gave me a headache for days! I'm so glad they have digital cameras now." Bella said, looking at the picture in Esme's hands. Moving on to the letter, I noticed it was sealed with perfect accuracy adorned with the seal of the royal coat-of-arms that the Volturi brothers stopped using when their deceased brothers' wife died.
Royal Princess Renee Amelia.
The Forgotten Princess.
And also Bella, far too wise for her human age, was a member of the Vampire royal family, was her daughter. " So you are Princess Isabella Marie Lindsay Volturi-"
" I replaced that name, Volturi, with Swan, the name my grandmother, I, my sisters, and my mother took when my father died. It explains it in the letter." Bella said turning back to everyone who had made themselves comfortable as she spoke. Alice was the first to break the silence that followed. " Hey Bella do you mind if me and Rose call you Izzy? Thanks- wait, did you just say you have a sister?"
With a eye roll and a sigh, Bella sat, no plopped down; thinking it was the couch, but it was really Edward's lap.
"Hey! Anyways, yes I have a sister. I really have two. Heidi Annalise, my older, and Jane Stacy, my younger. Yes, as in Heidi and Jane from the Volturi guard. All of the members are my cousins in some ways… anyways, they weren't always that mean. They changed when Mom changed me and not them. I have to talk to them, to let them know that it wasn't my fault that mom changed me…" Bella said, the end muffled in Edward's shoulder as she fell asleep. Having stayed up for two days, as Alice informed me later.
When Edward was finished putting her in his room, I open the letter which read:
Dear Sir Carlisle,
How we never ran into each other before I perished shall still remain a mystery. Still, I wish I had located your large family before you've had an aquaitance with Isabella. But, I cannot, try as I may,change fate. I penned this letter for I wish you to become Regent in the short month before Isabella's birthday, but however she choses her fate, your family's shall twist accordingly. Also, in this, short month, you may notice differences in my granddaughter's apperance and behavior. Do not question this, it is what she would be like had her mother not cast the spell to hide her immortality. She will still need to eat, so dont take her hunting the first chance you get. She might sleep about a couple hours, and eat things that are a mix of what a human and a vampire need, so keep that as a tab.
Finally, do not metion these events to mt daughter Renee, and Isabellas sisters. It will trouble her immensly and i just want her to live her life with her human husband, even if i do not approve. Also, you might want to keep certain 'pests' out of this. Not that Bella would want to be arount them, seeing as her senses are heightend.
Oh, and tell your wife Esme that midnight blue, black, gold, and white mix perfectly for decorating.
Queen Maria,
High Queen of the Vampire Court
I looked up at my family surrounded in the family room, and noted that they were all silent except Esme, who was muttering about paint colors,Alice, who was squeling, having just returned from the store and heading upstairs, and Edward, who could be heard upstairs talking to an awake Bella.
I went up to my study and analized the entire Vampire Royal family for 3 hours before Bella walked in the room with a confused Edward and the rest of the family following.
