Come on say goodbye, we have a plan to catch... Edward muttered standing by my luggage leaning on the risen handle you pull it by. He wasn't too much of a fan of Jacob.

"I'll come visit Bella." Jacob promised. Edward mimicked him in a puny voice.

"I'm sorry I have to leave early." I said.

"Family comes first." He said.

"You are family Jake." I reminded.

"Yeah, yeah." He said blushing a bit and I kissed his cheek and I grabbed my suitcase and walked away.

"Love you Bell." He called.

I turned to look at him I smiled "Love you too Jake." Edward walked with me into the airport but then disappeared back into my head when I went up to change my flight ticket to Italy and for today.

The woman was nice about it and when I had to sit there and wait for the plane to come. It poured and the sky was pitch black but my flight was still on schedule. I was looking over my online assignments for New York University, I had to try to keep with the story for Charlie. I was an online student there for design and art.

The flight was called that it was time to board and take our seats. Edward pointed out that I made a spelling mistake on my portfolio once we were seated on the plane and I thanked him silently. What would I do without you? I laughed. Suddenly a man sat on Edward who was sitting next to me. His blood was weak because was an older man. I stopped breathing just in case but you could tell he was an Old Italian man.

How rude… Edward said sitting in the next seat across the aisle. I smiled to myself and I had to turn off my computer when they said that we were taking off. The flight to Italy was long but Edward and I had a nice chat on the way over.

Jane Volturi, who was one of the Volturi's guard members showed me to where my family was in the throne room. Don't show any sign of weakness. Edward growled in my head.

"Honestly Shawn I thought you knew better." I muttered as I saw him in the hands of what looked like Alec Volturi and Felix Volturi from pictures I've seen. His face went from a frown to a smile when he saw me. Looks like I was the first one here.

"Bella." He smiled, "I knew you'd come." Aro, Marcus and Caius were there sitting there on their thrones and they looked at me and Shawn's interaction.

"I'm sorry you are?" Alec questioned arrogantly.

"Isabella Gilbert." I said.

"You are his sister?" Aro asked. I looked to the man in front.

"Yes, but may I ask what he has done?" I asked.

"He has provoked the Volturi…" He said.

I looked to Shawn, "How may I ask, surely I'm not sure he meant any harm…"

Shawn mumbled something but I didn't catch it.

I stared at him and told him to knock it off in my head. I had the power to communicate with people telepathically, I was also a shield, I could stop anyone's power from hurting who ever I wanted. I saw Jane, the same person to took me in stare at Shawn and I could see her power try to hurt him but I had my shield around him. She then looked to me and I screamed. The problem with my power was I only had the strength to cover 1 person at a time when I hadn't hunted in a few weeks.

Suddenly someone had barged through the doors behind me and Edward appeared next to me. Just get up you'll get your strength back. I tried to do what he told me and I got it back like he said I would.

"Bella…" A very familiar voice called from behind me. I turned and it was Leo and Deanna.

Leo and Deanna gave me a hug hello and I apologized for showing weakness. "Aro, it's nice to see you again." Leo greeted. His tall stature was intimidating and his muscles rippled through his long sleeve t shirt.

"Leonardo, it's nice to see you too, I wish the circumstances were better."

"What has the runt done now Aro?" Deanna asked with a scowl.

"Provoked them apparently." I said. "I was just getting there before things got out of hand." I said catching them up.

"Shawn as disrupted the peace here in the castle by making some provocative motions to some of the other guards." Aro said. "He is not Volturi material…" Shawn had tried to joining the guard to pass the time against Jeremy and Madison's wishes but like we had pointed out they weren't actually his parents.

"And Derek?" I asked.

"Derek can stay…" Marcus said. Alec and Felix threw Shawn at me like a fish at the fish market and luckily I caught him.

"Thank you for holding off until today." I thanked.

Marcus nodded and Leo took him out. Deanna followed, but I was intrigued by the design. It was the NYU in me that wanted to examine the structure. Bella, just go they could kill you… Edward said.

For what, looking around? I doubt it.

"Can I help you?" Alec Volturi asked as he came up to me.

"I'm sorry the art major in me is coming out… I love the architecture and painting in here, I didn't notice it when I came in." I said.

"You should see the art throughout the castle." Alec said. "I'm an art love myself."

"There is more?" I asked.

"Of course, I would love to show you sometime…" Alec said flirting.

Don't play into it. Edward snapped behind him.

Leave me alone. I told him.

"I'm sorry, I thought-." Alec said surprised.

"No, not you I didn't mean… look I would love to see it now, but I have to tell my family that I am staying…"

"I'll wait for you here." Alec smiled charmingly. Oops… I didn't mean to project my thoughts to him.

I nodded and ran out to catch up with them. Shawn was saying goodbye to Gianna the receptionist. "Deanna, Leo, I'll see you at home, Alec as offered to show me around the castle." I said. "It's for school." I added.

"Be safe, don't do anything stupid…" Leo said and I nodded. I gave the two of them another hug goodbye and went back to Alec. He was very intriguing from the way he walked to the way he talked, he was a true gentleman. For someone who was arrogant he was defiantly a charmer.
