This Isn't Goodbyes

Each step that I took towards Aro was slow, and excruciatingly agonizing. I know that he didn't have much patience with me, because his eyes hardened at the slow steps that I took. At least I was now a few feet away from him, so he could just stop making me scared. It wasn't like I could threaten him to do anything that I wanted him to; like leave.

"Wait!"

I halted in my steps and looked at Aro, before turning to look behind me. Alice had pushed her way forward, and was standing in front of everyone with the look of disbelief plastered on her face. I stared at her, silently pleading her to go back and forget about me. By the time that Aro would have changed me, I would be so far gone.

"I have an offer that you might like to hear, Aro." Alice's tone was emotionless, but her eyes were saying what I didn't want to hear. She was going to offer herself, because of me, and I didn't want that. So before Alice could have the chance to say anything, I quickly turned to Aro with the most pathetic pleading look.

"You've already have me, Aro. You don't need to listen to more offers."

Aro looked at me in bemusement, then at Alice in curiosity. He lifted two of his hands towards Marcus and Caius, the two old vampires placed their hands atop Aro's palms without hesitation. Both Aro and Caius closed their eyes, but Marcus remained bored as he looked blankly at…something. After a while Aro let out a small chuckle, and Caius' lips curled into a small smile. They opened up their eyes, and all three pair of eyes landed on me. Whatever decision that they had made, I hope that it would have nothing to do with Alice.

"Do you have any objection becoming a vampire, Bella?" Aro asked, and I thought he already knew about the answers.

"No."

Hisses and growls were heard all around me, and I sighed. I know most of the sounds were coming from the wolves and lastly, Edward. I just didn't understand why Edward refused to change me. I know of the consequences of me being a vampire, and the will to stop from a vampire that would change me.

"Dimitri, would you please guide Bella to Seattle? We will be there shortly."

After Aros words, I was gently flung on Dimitri's shoulder, and everything became a blur after that. I wasn't sure to be afraid of being alone with Dimitri or not, but I know he wouldn't do anything without Aro's permission. I wanted to know the reason why I was being taken to Seattle, but I doubted that Dimitri would know. He was just there to do his task, without much of a question why.

Dimitri slowed down then halted to a stop. He set me down and turned to give me a warning look. "Follow me, and do not try and escape."

I nodded, and we were off walking into the city. He seemed to be enjoying the fact that all human females gasped upon his appearance. He was a vampire, so of course he would be excruciatingly beautiful. Even some women tried to talk to him when he smiled at them. Thing that that amused me though – only a little bit – was the look of jealousy that they gave me. I was walking closely behind him after all, I didn't want to make him think I want to run away.

After all of that amusement, he led me inside a hotel, and I didn't say much when he went to book a room. I refused to look at anyone in the hotel, in fear that they might pick up something that wasn't right in my eyes. The booking was done, and we were on the way towards our room, or my room since I know he wouldn't be using it. I didn't complain when I found out that it was an expensive suit. I didn't like to stay in an expensive room, but there was little I could do to change that. Vampires always went over the top with the luxury and expensive prices.

"Aro will come soon." He said softly as the door clicked shut behind him. I didn't really pay much attention to him, because all I could think about was how everyone was doing back there. How was Renesmee doing, because I didn't want Aro to give my little girl such a hard time.

I let out a small sigh, in which Dimitri heard no doubt. I turned to look at him, and already found him looking at me with interest. "What am I doing here?" It might be pointless to ask him, but I just needed to know, even if he didn't have the answer.

"What do you think you're doing here?" He asked me, an amused smile spreading across his perfect yet sadistic features.

"You tell me." I replied harshly, and he chuckled. What exactly was he expecting me to say? It wasn't like I had any clue of to why I was here in the first place. He moved over to me then, and I instinctively moved further back.

"I could say that he is going to change you. Why else would you be here?" He tipped his head to the side, and smirked down at me if his answer had satisfied him enough. He stopped just a mere foot away from me, and it almost looked like he wanted to be the first from the Volturi guards to taste my blood. Just the mere thought of it got me to shudder in disgust, no matter how much I wanted to be a vampire then.

"To get away from the family so that he would have a way with them…" I answered without thinking about what I was about to say. He looked even more amused at that. Oh my god! What if Aro was staying behind because he wanted to know about Alice's offer? Would he actually going to accept it? This wasn't going the way that I wanted it to, because if I was enough for him, surely he didn't need to have a precognitive pixie in the 'team'.

"It would help Aro so much if that little Alice would join us." He spoke and his eyes became distant, and I know then that he was having a dream-like state. I know those looks too well, and I couldn't believe that he was thinking about Alice in a way that I didn't like. I was fine with Jasper looking at her all lovey dovey, but for Dimitri to even lay his eyes on her I just couldn't help but feel angered by it. However, I forced myself calm and turned away from him. I just didn't want to actually think about how Alice would convince Aro to accept her, and leave me. I didn't need anyone to sacrifice for me, now when they had sacrificed so much.

Dimitri left a moment later, and I didn't question him where he was going even though he did warn me not to pull any stupid move. I wouldn't even dare to do that, not when I know that he could track me down with the help of my deliciously human scent. I just sat on the bed, looking out at the window in hope that everything would be over quickly, when I know that I would be quite a long way until everything was in harmony again. Actually, I think that my existence all led to this chaotic life that I was forcing down upon the good vampires. A bad luck human, I felt sorry for whoever that would actually going to have me live with them if I was to be a vampire now. And in this case, it might possibly be the Volturi.

I closed my eyes, but only for a second to have them snapped open again at the sound of a door clicking open. I turned to be greeted with a smile from Aro, and it was only Aro that was in the room. I think my heart was frantically beating inside its ribcage, because right now was the one moment that I feared my life would end the way that I didn't want it to be. Well, I'd possibly wake up as a vampire, but right now I was too scared for any coherent thought.

"Hello again, Bella. I hope I didn't make you wait for so long."

Aro crossed the gap between me and him, and he was now hovering in front of me. I just stared up at him as if I was looking up at Jesus, and really Aro was no Jesus. He smiled down at me, and soon his smile stretched into a full blown sadistic grin. He lowered himself down, and put his hand on my shoulder. I could feel the coldness from his marble skin seeping through my frail shirt, and I know that if he wanted to kill me, then it wouldn't be impossible to kill me without me screaming out in pain.

"I will take you far from here, so that no one will hear you while you transform. Are you ready, my dear?" He asked, and I was surprised to hear the softness in his tone. I nodded my head, and once again I was being picked up, but at least I wasn't being flung over his shoulder. My arms instinctively wrapped themselves around his neck as he ran at the speed of light into the woods. I didn't know where we were going, but I know that we would be too far for anyone to even hear my scream as he would sink my teeth within my flesh.

When the scent of sea salt water hit me, I know that he was carrying me over to the beach; a secluded beach. He gently put me down on the ground, and glanced around the place. It wasn't sunny today, but the weather wasn't bearable either. It was extremely cold, and being at the beach really didn't help that much. I consciously wrapped my arms around my body, hoping that it would generate enough heat throughout my body to keep myself warm. That didn't work, not when I was shivering before Aro as he looked at me with a fascinated expression.

"You're cold." He stated, and I resisted the urge to roll my eyes at him.

Yes, of course I am cold, why else should I be shivering? "Yes." My answer seemed to fascinate him some more, but then he chuckled as if it was the funniest thing that he heard.

"I'm sure I can take the coldness away, Isabella." He inched forward and I gulped. He was going to do it here? I glanced about the place, and came to realize that it was reasonable for him to want to change me here. This was a secluded beach after all, and if he was to make a mistake, he would just toss my lifeless body into the ocean. Or rather, he would take me down at the bottom of the ocean, dig a hole, and put me in it to prevent anyone from finding my corpse. Well, that would work, and I didn't know what I was thinking like this.

I looked back to him, and nearly jumped at the close proximity between he and I. He waited for me, before resting his cold hand on my cheek, lightly stroking the skin before his hand moved down to my neck. I closed my eyes tightly, and tipped my head back when I felt his cold breathing hitting my already chilled human skin. I could feel the goosebumps breaking all over my skin when he pressed his cold lips against my pulse point. Then everything burnt when he sunk his teeth into my flesh, pumping in the venom that would be the only drug to turn me into one of them. My whole body felt like fire, and I was swimming in it with nowhere to escape. I couldn't even think of any coherent words to describe the flame that I was feeling, all I know that every vampire had to go through this state. Alice, however, was rather lucky to not remember any of it.

A/N:

-Claps- Another update. I want to make Aro kill Bella but that wouldn't work if it's Alice x Bella lol. Not that I hate Bella, her choice is rather dumb. But anyway, Dimitri is a hunk! Enough said. :P

Thanks for reading and reviewing. =]
