Edward's Pov

I sighed deeply, running my hand through my already messy bronze like hair.

My family was already mingling with the other guest.

The party had been held in the Volturi head quarters, of course.

The room had been cleaned thoroughly, red curtains had been thrown over the windows, and a giant red carpet had been thrown over the stone floors.

But through the smell of many other vampires and cleaning supplies that were in the air. There was still the faint, yet distinctive, smell of a human blood in the air.

Which couldn't be removed, no mater how much air freshener you used.

So to say the least, the party was being held in the Volturi's feeding chamber.

Jasper pulled away from a group of vampires talking about new cars that were on the market.

"Have you seen Alice? I sort of lost her in the crowds" he laughed sheepishly, embarrassed that he'd lost his wife.

I scanned the minds around me.

"She's over there talking about shoes with a few other girls" I replied, inclining my head to a group of giggling vampire girls on the other side of the room.

"Oh thanks, I guess that gives me time to relax then" Jasper said, leaning against the wall next to me.

"You're really not that happy about coming here" Jasper sighed, it wasn't a question it was a statement.

"No how could you say that, this is the best time I've had in a long time, hanging out with murders, and sadistic vampire killers what could be more fun then celebrating one of the Volturi guards birthdays" I replied sarcastically.

Jasper chuckled darkly.

"You've got something right about-" he broke off as a deep laughed reverberated off the surrounding walls.

"Lizzy great to see you" deep voice chuckled.

Jasper and I looked to our lefts to see a rather hefty vampire, with a head of short thick brown wavy hair, and thin dark blue glasses perched on his nose.

A large smile was plastered on his face as he gave the smaller vampire in front of him a hug.

The other vampire was shorter, with short cropped up dark, dark brown hair; the back of her hair was oddly similar to that of a ducks ass.

The girl was skinny and she wore an emerald green dress that went a little past her knees. The dress was spaghetti strapped, and at first the dress was smooth and silk, hugging her curves in the right places, but at about her waist line, a kind of rough see-through material with velvet spider wed like patterns, covered the silky emerald material.

"Steele it's good to see ya again" she laughed, a bit of southern in her voice

"Lizabeth Ann Taylor?" Jasper gasped, taking a half step forward.

The girl turned her head toward Jasper.

Her eyes widened in surprise.

"Jasper Whitlock?" she whispered, her voice slightly hoarse.

Jasper nodded his head.

'It can't be… she's suppose to be dead?' he thought.

'But… but… I thought…' her thoughts to mirrored his astonishment.

There was a loud squeal and in a flash of brown, white and green, she was embracing Jasper, who was laughing.

"Lordy me, I thought you were dead, I haven't seen you since we were youngsters back in Texas" she giggled pulling out of the embrace.

"Youngsters? We were 15 Liz, I highly doubt you could call us 'youngster' " Jasper replied still smiling.

"Jasper that was 187 years ago, so yes I think I have the right to call us 'youngsters'" she replied.

"My it's good to see you, you still look like the same old trouble-making Lizabeth I knew when we were 15" he chuckled.

"I should hope I mean I was only changed a few days after my 16 birthday" she chuckled darkly.

Jaspers breath caught.

"Yes, I was walking home and was attacked in old man Buckles field, I was cutting across the field to get home and was attacked" she laughed darkly.

"But enough about depressing me, where have you been? What have you been up to?" she asked curiously.

"Oh um I was changed 1863, so my 20 birthday… I had sort of lied about my age and got into the Confederate army, I was a lieutenant when I was changed" he said nervously, I knew for a fact he really didn't like talking about his past.

"Ah still the same trouble making Jasper I knew" she replied, using his words to tease him.

Jasper laughed along with her.

"Oh excuse me for being so rude, who's your friend Jasper?" she asked, motioning to me.

"Oh this is my 'Brother'" Jasper replied.

"Edward Cullen" I said, holding out my hand.

She shook it, "Lizabeth Volturi" she replied, withdrawing her hand.

"Volturi? You mean… Oh Lizabeth, you didn't join them did you?" Jasper moaned.

Lizabeth smiled sadly.

"Yes, I'm a Volturi guard" she whispered, the sad smile still on her lips.

There was then an awkward silence between us.

"So… uh… where's Kagin, you two use to be attached to the hip when we were younger" Jasper said nervously.

Lizabeth's eye's widened once again, but she quickly recovered.

"Oh… um Kagin… he's… he's dead" she stammered quickly.

I tried to see into her mind to see what was wrong but she was blocking it,

Hm I wondered were she learned to block her mind like that.

"Oh I'm sorry about that Liz" Jasper mumbled, lowering his head a little.

"Lizzy, who's this Kagin you speak of" a bell like voice asked.

The voice was beautiful; it was like the small tinkering of bells.

"Oh Jasper, this is the birthday girl, Jasper and Edward this is…"

"Bella?" I whispered, starring wide eyed at the brown haired angel in front of me.

"Yes have you met before?" Lizabeth asked, surprised.

"Unfortunately" Bella spat her voice suddenly cold.

Bella, my Bella, she was alive… and a…

Vampire.

But something was wrong I examined her again.

At first I saw nothing she was absolutely perfect, like she use to… and that's when I noticed it.

"Oh God Bella you drink human blood"

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

Gasp what will happen next????

Oh and to clear some things up, because I know there will be questions about this.

Lizabeth and Jasper do not love each other, Lizabeth will not replace Alice in any way, shape, or form.

Okay, there just child hood friends that's all.

Anyway don't forget to review, have a happy new year!!!!
