Chapter Seven: Tantrum

I ghosted into the room with Jane and Demetri behind me. Demetri had been silent since we left Canada. I felt slightly bad. He was my friend, and I had hurt him. But I had to tell him the truth. It was only right he knew I was broken beyond repair.

"So, he is dead?" Aro asked as we entered.

"Yes master." Jane said. "Bella helped greatly with her power." Jane said. Her voice contained malice for me.

"Isabella." I corrected her.

She smiled angelically at me. "Isabella." She repeated.

"You may go now." Aro said, waving us away in a dismissive gesture.

We bowed and left, like the good little minions we were.

I glided down the halls toward my room, but was stopped by Felix.

I ignored him when he stepped in front of me.

"Oh Isabella, you missed a very interesting visitor." He said.

"Move Felix." I said.

He smiled. "After you ask who it was." He said.

I sighed. "Who was it?" I asked, not interested at all.

His smile grew. "Why none other than Edward Cullen. He was here visiting with Aro." He said. His smile turned to a frown as I did not react.

I was reacting in my mind. I was screaming at his full name. It tore me to pieces.

"Aro?" I asked, my voice a low whisper. Felix nodded. I turned on my heel and ran to Aro.

I opened the door to his study, and found him at his desk. I slammed the door and he glared up at me.

"Isabella! What is the meaning of this?" He asked, outraged.

I growled. "Edward Cullen came here?" I asked.

Aro blinked a few times. "Yes. He did." Aro said.

I snarled at him. "Why didn't you tell me?" I yelled, my musical voice become high pitched.

Aro winced at the noise. "It was unimportant." He said nonchalantly.

My eyes widened. "UNIMORTANT? IT'S EDWARD! HE'S ALWAYS IMPORTANT!" I screamed, my voice raising another octave.

Aro covered his ears, a look of pain crossing his pale face. "Isabella! Behave yourself!" He shouted over my screaming.

"NO I WILL NOT!" I shouted again. Edward had been in Volterra, probably in this very room, and I had not been informed of his visit. My heart ached, and I creamed again, higher this time.

I was screaming out my anger, my hatred of Aro, and my pain.

I didn't noticed when my own screaming was joined by the sound of shattering windows and human shrieks as glass fell to the ground from every window in Volterra.

Finally, I stopped, my feelings gone, and my insides numb.

Aro was quiet for a moment.

"Isabella, when I tell you to behave, you are to listen." He said, his voice low and dangerous. I looked up at him from my place on the floor. Odd, I hadn't noticed I had fallen onto my knees.

"Do you understand me? I am the master! You shall obey me!" He said. His voice ever went louder than a loud whisper, but it was worse than shouting.

He was at my side suddenly, and he picked me up by my shirt front.

"Answer me." He hissed.

"Yes Aro. Yes master, I understand." I whispered. He bared his fangs, but then he put me down.

"Leave my sight before I decide you aren't worth my time." He hissed. I nodded and left.

I ran to my room, but was stopped again. This time by Demetri. He looked worried.

"Was that you?" He asked.

I nodded. "Yes. I threw a tantrum." I said as I walked past him.

He walked with me to my room. The window was gone, shattered on the floor, leaving a gaping hole in the wall.

"You must really hate windows." Demetri said jokingly, trying to get me to cheer up.

"I guess." I said. He sighed and sat down on the only chair in my room. He pulled me into his lap. I didn't struggle, but I stiffened.

He stroked my hair and rubbed my back.

"Isabella, la mia bella, Isabella." He murmured as he buried his face in my hair.

I wanted to cry. Why was he doing this to me? He knew I could never love anyone except Edward! It was just like with Jacob! I couldn't stand it!

I struggled in his arms and he let me go.

"Still Isabella?" We both knew what he was really asking.

You still love him?

I nodded. "Always, Demetri." I answered. My pain was evident in my voice.

"But Isabella, he's not here. He left you. He doesn't care about you anymore." He was suddenly at my side. Again, his stone arms embraced me.

"I know that Demetri. I'm reminded of that every time I look at you! Every time Aro talks to me, I am reminded that Edward did not want me! I don't need to be told so as well!" I snapped at him. He withdrew.

"Isabella, I'm truly sorry. I know it must be painful for you. I'm sorry." He murmured.

I sighed. "Its not you, Demetri. It's….its my past. I just….my heart can't suffer another break." I whispered.

Demetri looked up sharply. "I would not break your heart!" He said. I smiled sadly.

"Yes, that's what Edward and Jacob told me too." I said softly. Although, in all truth, I had hurt Jacob. But still, it broke my heart to think of him.

"Isabella, you can trust me." He whispered, suddenly holding my face in his marble hands. He stared deeply into my eyes, and I saw myself mirrored in his dark red irises. He leaned down, and was about to kiss me, when I turned my head to the side. He lips brushed my cheek.

"I know I can. As a friend. That's all I need right now." I said, my eyes closed.

He sighed and let my face go.

"I will honor your wishes, Isabella." He said softly. I nodded, my eyes still closed.

I heard him close my door as he left the room. I opened my eyes at last.

I looked out my window and saw the sky had darkened. I looked up at the stars.

"Why am curse so?" I whispered. Of course, the oblivious stars gave me no answer.

A/N Well, how was this one? I've updated a lot today, and this might be today's last chapter I update. Anyway, please review!
