Disclaimer: I don't own the character as they belong to the amazing Stephanie Meyer. However I do own the rights to the plotline as this is a revised version of Under A Spell (from my old account Sami-Jay-x-MetalHead-x).I know I haven't updated in a little while and I'm sorry, I've been getting started on my own story over on FictionPress - 'Come One, Come All."

Also I wanted to thank everyone who has favourite/put this on Alert! It means a lot! I never thought that people would want to read this considering the response I had to UAS and that being such a success with the fast moving pace but you did and it really means a lot.

Please R&R

Thank you!


Bella:

Walking into the room with all of the vampires watching me was actually nerve-wrecking. "Bella calm down," Alec whispered to me which caused me to jump. We carried on walking until we got closer to the dais at the back of the hall. "Welcome back, sweet Bella," Aro smiled as he looked over me and must have motioned for Alec to leave me - which caused me to unintentionally whimper. I slammed my hand over my mouth at the sound and turned a bright red. A second later Alec was back at my side and I had calmed down - my face still burned bright red but my hand no longer covered my traitorous mouth. I smiled up at Alec who gave me a quick smile before looking back at the kings. I turned and looked to find the Aro with a firm grasp on Marcus' hand, whilst Caius watched me.

At first I was afraid of Caius, especially after my last visit here and his want for having me killed, but when I looked up at his this time I felt like he was familiar to me, like I had known him before and it was strange. I was pulled out of my reverie by a sudden loud noise from the centre of the dais. Aro was laughing. It was a pleasant sound but it sounded as though he didn't do it often. "Brother! What in the world was that laughter for?!" Caius asked shocked by his brothers sudden joyous outburst. "Sweet Isabella has already got most of the guard wrapped around her little finger and she doesn't even know it - especially our precious Alec. Even you, brother," Aro smiled. "A mere human! Having control over me! A Volturi king! What joke are you playing Aro!" Caius growled which caused me to squeak out a whimper of fear.

"Brother! Stop behaving like a lunatic! You know Marcus' gift does not lie." Aro scolded his blonde haired, venom brother. "Caius it is true. I think I should tell everyone their bonds to the 'mere human' as you just called her." Marcus said, a little sass in his voice, which I could tell surprised many of the guard. "Bella, please come forward. It's okay, Alec isn't too far behind," Marcus asked in a gentle tone, a hand held out in an indication for me to go towards him. "As you just heard from my loud mouthed brother, you have many of the guard members in this room wrapped around your little finger, and now I will tell you how. They all see you as a sister - a sister that they all respect and love. Now there are a few exceptions for this, including myself, my two brothers and one guard member, who is less than a foot behind you." Marcus said, a small smile on his face as I turned around and found Alec watching me intensely.

"Beg your pardon, your majesty, what do you mean I have a different bond with yourself and your two brothers and Alec?" I asked, confusion must have been clear on my face as it made him chuckle. "Sweet girl, there is no need to call me such a formal vocative, how about you call me Uncle? Seeing as that is your bond with me - and also Aro." They both smiled at me and I had a feeling my eyes were as big as saucers. "Unlike myself and Aro - Caius has a more paternal bond with you - Caius is bound to your soul as your father."

And that ladies and gentleman was the moment I decided to black out.

When I came around, I found myself to be laying in an incredibly soft bed, with someone's arm draped across my waist. I turned my head slightly and got to see the sweet angelic face of Alec, laying behind me. "Back to the land of the living then," he chuckled, which I could feel vibrating through his chest. "What happened?". "You blacked out when master Marcus told you that you have a paternal bond with master Caius but the bond is more, master Caius' soul is bound with yours. You are his soul child." Wow! I thought. I was just about to reply when there was a knock on the door, and in walked the kings. "Bella, ragazza dolce, I hope you aren't to mentally distressed by what you have found out?!" Marcus asked, concern definitely lacing his voice.

Isabella, do you know what it means to be the soul child of a vampire king?" Caius asked, taking a seat next to me on the bed, squashing me between himself and Alec. Again I shook my head, afraid to open my mouth and verbally answer him. "It means, that you will be the only ever human/vampire to be a princess. Not even the former kings, the Romanians, had a soul child. Isabella you are special. And I want to deeply apologise for my behaviour back in the throne room. It was uncalled for." Caius said turning to face me, his sincerity was printed across his face. "It's okay. It was a shock to me. But that doesn't mean I've forgotten your reaction to a 'mere human'. I may be human right now, doesn't mean I will always be one, especially if I am to live here." I say and I see a smile forming on Aro and Marcus' face. "Uncle Marcus, can you tell me about my bond to Alec, please." I ask sweetly and batted my eyelashes a little which caused the four vampires to laugh. "Of course, mia cara. But perhaps we should discuss it at another time. I'm sure you've had an eventful time and are probably tired." Just then a yawn erupted from my mouth and my stomach rumbled causing the four vampires to look shocked at me. "Isabella, what was that horrendous noise?" Caius asked, looking a mixture of worried and scared. "It was my stomach, this human hasn't eaten since she was in the states." I say my stomach rumbling at the thought of eating my McDonalds. "One of the lower guards will be here momentarily with your food," Aro smiled kindly at me. "Thank you," I smiled and sat back again the headboard stuck between my soul father and a guy who I couldn't seem to be calm without. Like when we were in the throne room and I stepped forward, I unintentionally let out a whimper as though I was in distress and then Alec was right behind me and I calmed down - it scares me that I can't seem to move far without him there by my side - maybe when I talk to Marcus it will clear it up.


ragazza dolce - sweet girl.

mia cara or cara mia - my dear.


I know in the previous 3 chapters I haven't written an Author's Note but this one is an explanation.

In Under A Spell (the original) everything moved forward to fast. I never really explored the characters and I want to now. This is my chance. This story is allowing me to delve into what I think the twilight characters should have been like. It will follow the same plot line as U.A.S but slower - the Cullen's will eventually make an appearance but not for a lot longer than in Under A Spell and even then their time with either be shorter or longer I haven't decided yet.

Thanks for reading!
