Previously…

"Or maybe… I could sneak into your room during the middle of the night. Then I can work my magic on the piano, playing Claire de Lune and… Bella's Lullaby." Ooh, sneaking in? Maybe you're just going to watch me as I sleep?, I thought. I laughed with a grin.

"Ha,no… I may. Sometimes it's just a force of habit," Edward said with a shrug and sheepish grin. I walked back and smiled. Then, I did something unexpected. I ran my fingers through his hair. It was still as soft as ever. He closed his eyes and smiled. I played with his hair. Then, I realized what I was doing and abruptly stopped.

"Sorry, bye," I said while running out the house in embarrassment.

Bella P.O.V.

The plane ride to Italy was fair. The Cullens flew with us on the plane. I sat with Alice and Rosalie. We discussed designs about my dress. I ignored Edward. I didn't mean to, but I did. We just landed in Florence and were taking a car to Volterra. I was in a missile proof car, even though no missile would penetrate me. Aro was overreacting about keeping me safe before my crowning. I was in the car with Heidi, Demetri, Felix, Jane and Alec. Felix was driving. The Cullens were behind us; Aro sent a car for them. Renata was driving them. We were about five minutes away from arriving at the castle. I looked out the window. I took in all of the familiar buildings and trees. It felt nice to be back, but at the same time, it didn't. We soon pulled up to the castle. The guards didn't even ask who we were. They took one look then opened the gates. For Renata and the Cullens, they did ask though. When the car was in front of the front entrance, I walked out of the car and into the castle. I immediately ran to the throne room and to where Aro, Marcus and Caius were.

"Isabella! Welcome home!" Aro said.

"Aro! It's nice to be back," I said, lying a little. I smiled and kissed both of his cheeks.

"You know you won't be crowned for another two weeks, right?" Aro asked, confusedly.

"Yes, but I knew it would be best to come early."

"And you brought guest to stay," Aro said while looking off to behind me. I turned around to see the Cullens walking in. "Welcome!"

"Oh," I said quietly.

"It's nice to see you Carlisle! Hello Esme, Rosalie, Jasper, Emmett and Alice and Edward. Welcome to the Volturi! Please make yourself feel like you're at home," Aro said excitedly. He walked up to Carlisle. "If I may?" Carlisle nodded and gave Aro his hand. Aro did this with each person. He made comments about each person. Aro finally came back towards me.

"Don't you always?" I asked while putting my hand out. I put my shield down, but made sure to block out all the wolves.

"Interesting. Hmmm, you burned down the house?" Aro asked, surprised. I nodded slowly while looking down. "Isabella! La casa costa una fortuna! Solo deluso in te. La cui idea e stata?" Translation: The house cost a fortune! I'm disappointed in you. Whose idea was it?

"Bene, non volevamo lasciare trace che eravamo li! E stata putoppo un amia idea." I looked down in embarrassment. Translation: Well, we didn't want to leave traces that we were there! It was unfortunately my idea.

"Parleremo di questo piu tardi," Aro said sternly. Translation: We will talk about this later.

OoooOoooOoooOooooooOoooO

"You can't be flirting with your ex," Heidi said in panic. "He's going to make you like him, and then he's going to seduce you or something! Then he's going to trick you into loving him! Then you're going to love him! Finally, he's going to dump you again! And you're going to be pregnant!" Heidi was hyperventilating, as if she could.

"Heidi! Firstly, he won't do that! Secondly, don't you have faith in me? Thirdly, put in new contacts, please?" I said with a smirk.

"You sure? I do have faith in you; I just don't trust him. Why can't I show my true self? Why don't you show your true self?"

"What do you mean?" I asked innocently and wide-eyed.

"You have to stop lying to yourself and everyone. Bella, you can't. You can control yourself, just believe. This is who you are, there's no denying it." Heidi spoke very softly, her expression sincere.

"What if they judge me? Sixty years later and now I'm still like this."

"You have to. You grew up here when you were changed, and you went by our rules. You tried to change, but you couldn't." I nodded solemnly. I changed my eye color back to its red. I'm a vampire, and I drink human blood, I thought. Seconds passes. One second, two three…

"I can't." I ran to my bathroom and put in blue contacts. I ran out my room and out to the corridors. As I was rounding a left, I collided into a woman. Esme.

"Bella, dear?" Esme asked. I looked down, not wanting to let her see. She crouched down and looked at me. I dared to look her in the eye. "Oh my. Your eyes are purple. Are you okay? Here, come with me." Esme took me to a room that connected the room the Cullens resided in for the time being. She had me sit down. I couldn't help, but spill everything out.

OoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooO

"Mom! Your future disappeared and I-. Hi Bella!" Alice said as she barged in. The rest of the Cullens bounded in after. Oh no, I thought.

"Esme, Bella," Jasper said. I felt my contacts start to burn down away from my venom. I looked down to prevent them from seeing. In second, the contacts were gone. I wanted to use my power to change my eye color, but I didn't have the strength to.

"Bella," Edward said softly. I looked up, my eyes startled. Everyone but Esme gasped.

"This is who I am. A bloodthirsty vampire. One without restraint," I said softly.

"Bella, that is nothing to be ashamed of," someone said. The person walked towards me and gave me a hug. "I know how you feel."

"Thank you Jasper."

OoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooO

"I went through a stage like that when I changed. But after a while, a long while, I changed. I know you can too," Jasper said. I explained everything to the Cullens. I couldn't hide anything. "I have complete faith in you."

"As do I," Edward said.

"I believe in you Bella. And by the way, stop blocking my visions!" Alice said, a small playful grin on her face.

"I know you will be able to change Bella," Carlisle said.

"We believe in you," Rosalie said, speaking for Emmett and her. Emmett nodded with a smile.

"You know I support you," Esme said with a comforting smile.

"Bella, we all want to help you. Can I help you, step by step?" Carlisle asked. Everyone jumped up and started to talk. Esme shushed everyone.

"I think I can speak for everyone. We will all help you," Esme said while capturing me in a hug. I nodded. "How about we start tomorrow? You may need your rest, I mean, it was a long day." I nodded. Edward suddenly swooped me into his arms and ran off into my room. I fell asleep to the sounded if a familiar lullaby.

OoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooO

I awoke to the sound of a piano playing. My eyes fluttered awake and I looked to my piano.

"Edward?" I asked.

"Sorry. I knew that this would be one of my only moments to go in here to play the piano," Edward said. I could imagine the sheepish smile.

"What happened?"

"Well, I brought you here and you fell asleep."

"Oh, well… My secret is out, isn't it?" Edward nodded. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. "I didn't mean for it to happen. I mean. Heidi and s-she… I started-."

"I know."

I looked at him in confusion and asked, "What…?"

"Actually, your shield is down when you sleep… And apparently, that's what you dreamed about."

"Oh, that's why it felt so real…"

"Are you ready for you first lesson?"

"Lesson? For what?"

"Learning restraint."

Gasp! Bella drinks human blood. What a…shocker?

Okay, for many of you, I believe that this chapter was a confusion for all you…and very drastic.

But don't fret pet! That's how it's supposed to be. It's supposed to be all like, "OMG! Cullens. Volterra. Edward. Bella. Kiss. Already!" Then, all like, "Wtf? What is this? This is so stupid!"

My point for this chapter was a filler (Cullens in Volterra) and a bit of irony here. I believe that a Bella who drinks human blood will make this all the more surprising.

Alright, I know this was a short chapter. I dunno why I made it short… And had all those, "Don't want to explain, let's get on with it!" things.

Maybe I can coax a few more reviews from my fabulous readers for a longer chapter? (;

Read and Review,

Mackie.

P.S. I've given up on the blog. Don't even visit it, don't visit the others. If I haven't explained the blog in the last chapter, kudos to you! Save yourself from the misery! (:
