Chapter 4: Bella

She was beautiful, everything about her screamed beautiful, her beautiful brown hair that fell down to around her waist. Her bright crimson eyes didn't have that fierce look, they looked almost… cute.

"Bella, meet Carlisle" Aro said gesturing towards Carlisle.

"Nice to meet you Bella" Carlisle said as he bowed his head slightly in her direction. Her plump lips spread into a memorizing smile.

"Nice to meet you too Carlisle" her angelic voice rang through the room.

"This is Esme, my wife, and my children. Emmet, Rosalie, Japer, Alice and Edward"

Carlisle said, gesturing towards us as he said our names. She looked at each of us individually, her stare lingered on my face for a second before turning to Aro and sticking her hand out towards him.

Aro took her hands in his as he closed his eyes and bowed his head over their hands.

A new 'voice' exploded into my head, I concentrated on it. All I heard was 'hold it, hold it' repeated over and over again.

I realised that the 'voice' was hers.

I looked into Aro's mind, to find all the thoughts that she had on my family, on me, flowing through his mind.

After a minute, Aro's voiced echoed through the surrounding silence.

"Excellent" Aro said as her voice disappeared out of my mind.

Aro stood there smiling, looking at everyone in the room.

I could just stand there, I had to get closer, I just had to.

"EDWARD, DON'T" Alice screamed at me. I ignored her and continued to lift my foot, to take a step closer to her.

A giant wave of pain came over me, I let out a scream. But as quickly as the pain came, the pain was gone.

'That Bella, she's such a pain, I wish she'd just burn' Janes thoughts boomed in my mind.

"Edward" Bella's voice came from no where, sounding my angelic than ever.

My knees gave way, however, someone caught me.

"Edward, are you ok?" her voice, so full of concern, so close. Then I realised, she was the one that caught me, she's the one that was holding me.

A smooth hand cupped my face,

I opened my eyes, to find her beautiful face right there, so close.

We just stood there, looking into each others eyes.

'What has he got that I haven't' Felix thought as he let out a growl.

"Felix" Aro asked, interrupting his thoughts.

"Sorry Aro"

Bella let go of my, taking her previous position, next to Aro.

Bella cleared her throat, getting Aro's attention.

"Aro, wasn't there something you wanted to talk to Carlisle about?"

"Oh right, I would like to talk to Carlisle, alone"

"Felix, take Bella to her bedroom"

"Of course" Felix replied, happy to have a reason to take Bella away from me.

Everyone walked silently out of the room.

Bella walked in the opposite direction to me.

I had to talk to her, I needed to.

**********

Once I was outside and free of my family, I ran as fast as I could, trying to catch her scent.

I ran past a building that had a hint of her scent.

Some how, I'm not quite sure how, but some how, I managed to climb through her window, into her room.

There she sat, brushing her long silky brown hair, looking at her reflection in her duchess mirror.

She looked up to see my reflection behind her.

She let out a surprised scream.

"Bella, are you alright" Felix said from outside the door, turning the door handle.

If he opened that door, who knows what they'll do to me.

"Don't open the door" Bella demanded. Confusion swept over me, why was she helping me. "I'm getting changed"

"But Bella" Felix argued still outside the door, "I heard you scream. What is going on?"

"There was a…" Bella stared at me thinking of an excuse, "Spider"

"A spider?" Felix asked, doubt in his voice. "Bella, I'm coming in to check"

"Felix, if you open that door, I will tell Aro you were perving on me and your days at the Volturi will be numbered" She said with such authority, it was so sexy.

'Edward, control you thoughts' I told myself.

"But Bella" Felix started, however Bella interrupted.

"Actually Felix, I wish to speak to Aro, could you fetch him for me please"

"Of course Bella", we listen to the footsteps as they became quieter and quieter.

I opened my mouth to talk to her, only for her to put her finger to her lips, signalling me to be quiet.

She ran over to the door, opened it and stuck her head out, checking no one was around. She closed the door turned around and came towards me.

"Are you crazy Edward, what are you doing?"

I couldn't help but smile when she said my name. I stood there smiling like an idiot whilst her expression turned from annoyed to concerned.

"Edward" She said, her tone cautious.

"Oh right, um… What was the question again?" She let out an angelic laugh.

"I don't know why she wants you Aro, she just asked to see you" We heard Felix's voice, even though he was far away.

"Oh no" she whispered. "You have to go" She said as she pushed on my chest trying to get me to the window.

I was almost there when I realised, I may neve see her again.

With this thought in my mind, I turned around, put both my hands on either side of her face and kissed her.

When I pulled away, I looked down to see her smiling up at me.

"Well, we will find out wont we Felix" Aro said, breaking our perfect moment.

They were closer and would be able to hear everything we say, so Bella mouthed the word 'Go' to me.

I jumped out of her window, landing quite softly. I looked back up to her window, to her leaning out of it, biting her lip and waving to me.

I heard a knock on her door and Aro saying "Bella". I turned an ran to catch up with my family.

Bella's POV (shock)

"Bella" Aro called from outside my door. I watched as Edward ran away.

I turned on my heels and opened the door for Aro.

"You wanted to see me"

'Oh shoot, that was just a pan to get Felix away, oh no, what do I say?', then an idea hit me.

"Aro, I want to go on a trip"
