Demetri POV
Thanks to our advanced minds Bella learned and understood the law that we rule with, she agreed with them and respected the kings for keeping the vampire world at peace for so long, there have been many struggles, wars and battles that resulted in a lot of the wars being made that ensured that they wouldn't happen again.
"Come on then Bella, let's make you one of us" I say, with this she nods and smiles up at me. Her smiles have the most unbelievable effect on me, if I was still human I'd be breathless.
"Will I work with you?" she asks curious, I look at her in thought, it would be great to be able to work beside her, I'll have to ask Aro about that,
"We'll see what Aro says" I say.
I watch her for a few minutes just wondering how she can be in so much control, normal newborns are out of control, blood lusting and frenzied. But she hasn't even complained once about the usual sore throat that tells us we're thirsting for blood.
Shit! She hasn't had any blood yet!
"Bella, do you feel any pain in your throat?" I ask, looking at her in question, from this she looks down with a look of shame on her expression,
"I have since I woke up, I just didn't want to cause a commotion, is it normal? It's irritating and hurts more every minute" she says, now looking up at me with fear in her eyes.
"No! Bella that's normal for us vampires. That's the thirst. You haven't drunken any blood. I'll tell Aro that I'm taking you out to hunt when you are made part of the guard, do you think you'll be able to last that long? If not we can hunt before your made part of the guard" I say, she looks in thought from my suggestions for a few seconds before looking up at me.
"I think I'll be ok for a while longer" she says, with this I smile and nod in understanding.
"Will we be...feeding on humans?" she asks, I look at her with a comforting smile,
"We will be. But I personally like to hunt those with evil in their hearts. Criminals and people whom break the law or hurt others for sport" I say, from this she cocks her head to the side,
"That does make me feel a bit better about killing them" she says, from this i smile at her and nod in agreement.
Quietly she scoots over to me, us both being in her room sitting on her settee by the window.
When she's beside me she leans her head on my shoulder gently as if in hesitation. Letting her know its ok, I wrap my arm round her.
"Stay with me forever Demetri, i feel safe when I'm with you, I can't explain it but…I know that I need you" she says silently but enough for me to hear her. she does feel it! the mating bond is coming out for her!
"I'll always be with you Bella, I promise habib albi" I say,
"What does that mean?" she asks without moving, I look down at her keeping my head on top of hers and gently smile,
"I will tell you one day" I promise her before I kiss her hair.
After a couple of minutes we stand up together and we both make our way out of the room and to the throne room.
"Do you Isabella Maria Swan, swear to live under our rule, stand as one of us, do as we ask without question and to help us to keep the secret of our race from the mortals?" Aro asks, himself standing in front of his throne as well as Marcus and Caius in front of theirs looking down at Bella whom is kneeling before them.
"I do so swear" she says, sounding confident, but for some reason slightly strained. Why would she sound…
Oh fuck the thirst!
"Felix, we need to get Bella out of here soon, she hasn't fed yet" I whisper to Felix beside me low enough so it doesn't interrupt the ceremony.
He looks at me alarmed and looks at Bella worried.
"And do you swear to do all in your power to keep our family safe and to destroy any threat that we ask you to get rid of?" asks Caius,
"I do so swear" she says, sounding more strained with every breath, she needs to feed soon, otherwise she isn't going to last long.
"And do you swear to uphold the law, to doll out punishment to those who may break the laws of our world and respect and live by the laws that wish we rule under?" asks Marcus,
"I...do so swear" she says, more strained now, I look at her tensed form, she's visibly shaking slightly and her breathing is becoming erratic.
"By the power of the Volturi and sincerity of our family. I now happily make you the newest member of our guard and family. Isabella Marie Volturi" says Aro, now walking over to her and brings her to her feet and then gently kiss' her forehead as is accustomed for him to do so to new members of his family.
But just as the three kings sit back in their thrones, Bella collapses, and almost hits the floor if I hadn't caught her in my arms.
"Demetri what's wrong with her?" asks Aro, looking at us alarmed, I look down at Bella to see her breathing strained.
"She hasn't fed yet Master Aro" I explain,
"Take her out and have her feed – quickly!" says Caius, whom unbelievably is looking at Bella with worry.
I nod in understanding and then sweep Bella up in my arms and then run us outside the castle and make my way into the city, thankful that its dark already and that none of the mortals saw us, then again with the speed I am going they wouldn't with their weaker eyes.
Carefully I sit her down, making sure that she sits up, I've put us in an empty abandoned loft with the giant window I crept in through.
"Bella? Bella its Demetri, I need you to stay with me for a little longer ok? I'm going to go get you what you need love, I promise I won't be long" I say, gently stroking a loose hair from her face, her eyes look up at me and with that I kiss her forehead then quickly I jump out the window now beginning to look for potential prey for Bella.
I watch carefully as Bella feeds on the human I brought her, a giant guy with way too much muscle but a lot of blood, understandably she's drinking fiercely, trying to get every drop of blood she can. I can't believe I let her go on without her feeding. Because of how uncharacteristically sane she is with being a newborn I tricked myself into thinking that she would be fine, but clearly, she wasn't, a mistake I won't let happen again.
After a few minutes, she lets go of the body and leans back against the wall, almost completely covered in blood.
"Bella?" I ask, making sure to sound gentle and in no way threatening. She looks up at me with her red piercing eyes, and I think for a second she may attack with those predatory eyes, but then in an instant she's in my arms.
"It hurt so much Demetri, I thought I was going to die!" she cries, from this I wrap my arms more securely round her.
"Shh, its ok Bella, its my fault, you were so in control that I made the mistake in forgetting that you would need to feed sooner, I swear you won't have to go through that again" I say, from this she nods while having her head rested on my shoulder, I lean my head against hers to try and make her more safe and comforted.
I'd do anything to make her happy.
"Come on, let's get back, you can play some games with me and Felix" I say, trying to make her feel better. from this she giggles and looks up at me with a smile,
"That's sounds like fun, but I'm terrible at games" she says, with this I nod in understanding,
"But first it might be a good thing to get changed, let's go for some late-night shopping" I say from this she groans, I frown confused, I thought most women liked shopping?
"I hate shopping" she says, from this I laugh, of course my goddess wouldn't like shopping.
"Tell you what, I'll lend you some clothes and we'll have some of the girls shop online with you, they have a passion for it" I say, she smiles and nods in agreement.
With that we head back to the castle after burying the guy in one of the city's many cemetaries.
