Marcus POV

"My god Marcus! What have you done?!" Caius hissed as he glared down at Bella.

"Now, now Caius. Marcus already told us why. He is only showing the result of it." Aro said calmly. He stood from his seat walking towards Bella and I, staring at Bella curiously.

I tighten my grip on Bella, drawing her closer to me. Although I knew I might be able to get Aro onto my side he was still unpredictable.

"Hello little one? What's your name?" Aro asked Bella politely.

Bella looked at me, unsure of what to do.

"Go ahead. It's okay." I told her. I hoped I sounded more comforting to her then it did to me.

"My name is Bella." Bella asked, trying to smile for Aro.

"Bella. That's a pretty name." Aro said. "I'm Aro and that man behind us is Caius. We are Marcus's brothers."

Bella's eyes suddenly seemed to light up. "You're Marcus's brothers?! So cool!"

If only she knew.

"Well thank you Bella. It's very nice to meet you too." Aro said, holding his hand out to Bella. I knew what he wanted. He wanted to see Bella's thoughts to see if she was a threat. It disturbed me that Aro didn't trust what I told him. It made the likely hood of him accepting Bella less and less.

"Hmm… that's strange." Aro said.

"What is? Did I do something wrong?" Bella asked, her voice sounded worried.

"No, no. You did nothing wrong. It's just that when I touch someone I could see their thoughts… But I can't see yours. It makes me curious. So, so curious." Aro said, staring at Bella with some excitement. It made me feel relief that he was showing interest in Bella.

Caius suddenly stepped up next to Aro, glaring down at Bella. I pulled her back towards me, glaring back at Caius.

"Are you about done playing with this immortal child Aro?" Caius asked. "I can see that it's in control of it's self now but we must destroy it now before it can get any stronger and loses control."

"Please." I begged my brothers. "Let me take her to Aleera. Aleera can fix this and it will all be over."

"We can not make any exceptions Marcus!" Caius growled.

"He's right Marcus. Although Bella here makes me curious without a doubt we can not make any exceptions." Aro said, sounding falsely sympathetic.

I held Bella as closely as I could as Aro held his hands out towards me.

"Marcus." Aro said, his voice reveling now emotion. "Give her to me."
