My life got another friend a much needed friend. Irina was great she was sweet and understanding. She didn't know the whole truth. However they way she sometimes gave me funny looks i suspected she had an idea of why i hurt the Cullens so much. Aro check up on us once a month to see if Irina's gift was something more like i had said. We never had anything new... Though he was always happy when he left why i had no idea. Training was getting easier and easier everyday. I had talked to Aro about it and he decided that i didn't need to train anymore. I was already the best fighter in the Voltury. I was walking down the hall one night when i heard her.

She was in my room. I frown i had just came back from Mexico. Maria had made some problems...again.

(IPOV)

I sight and looked out the window. It was a great view. Much better then the one in my room. Isabella might not notice but she had the best of everything thanks to Aro. Then again she sometimes looked like she was being held prisoner here so i really didn't blame her for not noticing. The door open behind me and i turn to see Isabella walk in. She looked at me standing in the middle of her room and frown.

"what's wrong Irina?" she asjed putting the hood of her black cloak down. She had just come back from a cleaning in Mexico. She looked excusted and worn out. Then again she always looked this way.

"I miss my sisters Isabella i haven't heard or been heard of after that first and only letter Aro let me send them" I stop i was sounding like a cry baby but the worry i knew Tanya and Kate were feeling kept me going "isn't there a way i could see them...please i have never been away from the this long without talking to them one way or another"

She stood there looking at me with sad eyes. She sight after a minute and then nodded.

"I'll see what i can do" I smiled and hugged her "thank-you" i said. She sight before leaving. I couldn't stop smiling Isabella always got what she wanted from Aro. Of course he couldn't say no to her at this! I would just take a quick visit and then i would come back. I would keep my promise of serving the Voltury...

(BPOV)

I searched Aro and quickly found out he was in his room. I sight when i heard him with his wife... and then shuddered when i heard a groan and then a hiss. I knocked and heard Aro speak "come in Isabella".

I steped inside to see that his wife had left us alone to speak.

"i need to speak to you about something" He nodded for me to go on.

"Irina misses her sisters she is wanting to visit them-" He held up his hand to stop me from speaking. "why would i grant her this? she may nreak her deal with us and not come back." i growled under my breath. "Felix could easily find her Aro you know this"

I was getting impatiant. I saw the way his eyes had flashed when i spoke Irina's request and i knew he was trying to get something.

"Actually Felix is momentarily station in Mexico and wouldn't be coming back for any reason so if your little friend wants to go someone will have to escort her.

I nodded

"there is no problem with that Aro Irina could easily be escorted by Demitri"

"he is with Felix"

"Alec"

"he is in Russia with Jane"

"Salvador"

"not a very good idea Kate would rip him to pieces after Salvador stood her up just a few days ago and i wouldn't really like that"

"Monica"

"she is in Georgia with Troy taking care of a few newborns"

"Taylor"

"he is also with Felix"

I frown.

"what is happening in Mexico i thought we had settle the problem with Maria that is why i came back" He nodded

"we did we are just keeping an eye on her and her friend who arrived a few hours after you left with his mate and two other friends" I sight

"how abou-"

"anybody else is needed here Isabella Volterra does need its protection" I snorted

"i could protect it while you send someone with Irina" Aro looked amused and shook his head "i rather not take chances" was his only response.

I frown. I had tried. I had tried to help Irina but Aro was just not giving up. What else could i do? Beg? NO! I never begged i would never beg not even for my own life.

"Fine then" i said turning away and walking towards the door.

"Isabella?" i turn to see a speculated look on Aro's face

"yes?" i asked impatient

"why don't you escort her?" he asked tilting his head to the side.

I froze. The knob crumble under my strenght. No, i couldn't...I wouldn't. If i took Irina then there was a probability that i could run into one of the cullens. That was something i wouldn't be able to handle. I could barley handle thinking about them! How would i be able to see them without showing how much it hurt to be away from them?

A growl started growing in my chest. Aro smiled happy he had gotten a reaction from me. Baster!

"you will go Isabella...Cauis has been on my back about your loyalty and this will be a way to get him out of my way... When he sees you returning he will be force to leave me alone and of course you will get something in return" His words left me no doubt that this was something i couldn't back out of. I decided to just go along with it since i really had no choice.

"what will i get?" i asked

"more freedom...you will be able to wonder on your own when your not doing your job"

I stood there mouth gaping Aro had never been this...trusting towards me.

"do we have a deal Isabella" I nodded once and open the door running towards my room to tell Irina.

(sometime later)

I couldn't believe i was actually doing this! I couldn't believe it has we boarded the plain. I still couldn't belive it has we landed. However i finally believed it has we started driving towards Irina's old home. I frown i needed to tell Irina of some rules i had thought of.

"Irina?"

"yes Isabella"

"you... Irina you have to realize that i am not very liked by the Cullens-"

"don't worry i will defend you if they decide to visit"

"that's not what i meant Irina i am trying to tell you that has soon has we get there i will be leaving i wouldn't hang around"

"why not Isabella! come on my sisters will want to get to know the vampire that saved me! please do it for me!"

"I'm escorting you not guarding you Irina...that means i will take you there and then leave. After a few days i will come back and take you back to Volterra" my words were clear and she pouted has she nodded.

We parked outside a house that was very secluded from population. It was in the middle of no where! I wince has it reminded me of another clan of vampires who's house was just has secluded has this.

"IRINA!" someone screamed my eyes focused on a girl standing in the porch her eyes wide and a huge smile on her face. "KATE!" Irina screeched at the top of her lungs. She threw herself out the car and was immediately hugged by Kate.

"where have you been sis?" Kate asked Irina. Irina was about to answer when another woman appeared. She came from the woods i froze when i saw her. She was tall beautiful and graceful. She has curly strawberry blond hair. A sudden wave of jealousy hit me when i realized this was the famous Tanya the Cullens had told me about.

"Tanya..." Irina said taking a step towards her. I looked at Tanya her expression was blank has she stared at Irina. Kate was looking worry and biting her lip her eyes going from Irina to Tanya. In a swift move Tanya hadIrina in her arms crying. Irina embrace Tanya quickly crying herself. Kate looked relief. I frown i remember Irina told me she had had a fight with her sisters... I didn't knew what it had been about but apparently it was all in the past.

"oh Irina i missed you" Tanya whispered pulling back and looking Irina over. Irina smiled "i've missed you too Tanya". Kate cleared her trougt Irina laughed "i've missed bothof you". The three sisters embraced each other. I smiled i knew i had made the right decision by escorting Irina here.

Tanya suddently looked at me.

"who is this?" she asked. Irina smiled hugely motioning me to come out the car. I sight has i open the door and stepped out.

"this is Isabella... she is the vampire who saved my life" Irina said her voice showed all the gratitude she felt towards me. I was really touched.

"she saved you?" Kate seem shocked has she looked me over. I raised one eyebrow. Did i really look that fragile?

"yes in my letter i told you of my mistake..." Irina took a deep breath and came to stand next to me.

"Isabella helped me get back in track and she thought me a few fighting tricks plus she is a great...friend" Irina finished smiling at her sisters then at me. I couldn't look away from Kate and Tanya they looked like they wanted to asked a million questions. This was another of the reason why i didn't want to stay. Their questions were either going to be answer with half truths or lies. My truth was something they were never going to hear...

I unwillingly turned to Irina.

"You've been escorted Irina i will come back in a few days..." i looked at Tanya and Kate's questioning eyes and then back to Irina "good-bye" i said has i turn away and got into my car. I slowly drove away. I sight when i was about fifty eight miles away. A single thought ran across my mind

Now what was am i suppose to do?
