Beautiful

The moment that the screaming stopped it was when that I had fled out of the door, and towards the throne room. Bella was there, my Bella was there, and I was sure that she was waiting for me when she'd wake up. Well, I knew how newborns would come about after waking up from the pain, the pain that I've forgotten along with my human memories. Although I heard that it was painful, as if you were burning from the inside out. The burn within your throat would resemble it when you were thirsty, but it was a hundred times worse. I couldn't believe that I had put her in so much pain, because of Aro's desire, because of her simple request because she didn't want me and Edward to die. There was still one small doubt in my mind though; would she choose me or Edward? Like I said, my visions could always change.

I busted in and immediately my eyes were staring straight down Bella's form. She was slowly regaining conscious, and even though I could still smell her once human blood on her, it was dry. Besides, me and Edward had took the chance of waiting to hunt and quench our thirst, even though Aro had offered us human blood, we couldn't take it, we won't take it, we needn't take it. Bella's blood was the first human blood that I've ever tasted, and I wanted her to be my first, and my last. I wanted to remember her blood, the taste of it, and I knew that it would forever me engraved in my mind.

By now everyone was joining me, surrounding the area as if to prevent Bella to escape when she would wake up. Aro and his brothers, along with his bodyguards were standing behind me. Edward and I were out in front. Edward was trying to be more of a brother, than a gentleman, when he was trying to stand before me protectively. I didn't need his protection, I know that Bella won't hurt me. Bella wouldn't even hurt a fly, unless that fly would hurt anyone that she'd care the most. I quickly shook that thought away when I saw her body twitched, then she became still. We all watched as her body twitched once more, and her eyes snapped open. No one spoke a word when she jumped on her feet, her bright crimson eyes scanning the room. She had noticed us, obviously, since she was growling now. Anyone would be a fool to step up to her at this moment.

Well, I was the fool, since Edward was afraid to provoke her. To him, she was a newborn. To me, she was still Bella. I took in her transformation before me. Her once pale human skin was now paler, but smooth, perfect in each and every angle of her body. Her face, as a human I knew that she was the most beautiful girl that I've ever seen, but now as a vampire, she could put Rosalie's beauty to shame. Or maybe it was just me, since I was head over heels over this girl right before me. It was then that I looked at her eyes, and instantly they locked onto mine. I could read her like a book, and right now she was confused to why I was looking at her, the way that I was now. That was when I stepped forward, slowly approaching her with her name rolling off of my tongue in a soft murmur, until she snarled at me. I stopped, my eyes never leaving hers, before I parted my lips.

"Bella, remember me? It's Alice." I said once more. She stopped snarling at me, and seeming to look as if she was thinking deeply. I heard a gasp, exactly what I wanted to hear, it was the first sign of recognition. Then her hand came up to where my mark was, and I bit down on my bottom lip lightly out of guilt, the guilt that brought her pain. I quickly released my lip when her eyes looked at me again, and before I knew it, Aro was right before her.

I had to suppress a hiss, knowing full well that his action was provoking her, and he would be in great danger, then again I couldn't care less if Bella would shred him into little pieces at this moment. However, instead of doing that, she pushed away from him and snarled at him. No newborn would do that, they would attack straight away. This surprised me, but shocked everyone else it would look.

I didn't bother listening to whatever Aro was saying, not when my goal was to reach her. I came up behind Aro, only to reveal myself a moment later beside him with a happy smile that was only meant for her. I slowly approached her then, not wanting to provoke her more than Aro had already done.

"Bella, you remember me right?" I asked her once again, and she nodded. I beamed before quickly adding, hoping it would reassure her. "Don't worry, they won't hurt you."

"Him?" She asked, and I thought I would have drowned in that sweet, wind-chime voice of hers. I knew that after being changed, she would no longer be a human, but a vampire like us. She wasn't a vampire in my eyes, she was an angel, and that voice of hers nearly got my knees to buckle underneath me.

I quickly looked over at Aro, then back at her again and shook my head. She relaxed, and straightened her posture, until…

"Alice!" She exclaimed happily, while strangling me into her bone crushing hug. I know that she didn't know how strong she was now, as a newborn, but god she was killing me. I tried to giggle, but my giggle was a mixture of pain and amusement. Soon she set me down and looked at me confused. I've always adored that look, since it made her so adorable. I giggled up at her before pulling her into a gentle hug, which soon turned into a tight one. My body started to shake, and my sobs came out.

"I'm sorry, Bella. I'm so, so sorry." I sobbed against her shoulder, but when Aro's voice reached us, I reluctantly pulled away and turned to set my gaze on the pavement.

"Bella, how do you feel?" Aro asked softly, I took this little chance to look up at him, and his crimson eyes were twinkling in amusement and excitement.

"I feel…fine." Bella answered rather sharply. It was then that I looked up at her, confused. Shouldn't she be thirsty or something? Go wild? Throw all of that sanity out the window?

"You don't feel…anything?" Aro asked again, his eyes widening a little in surprise and pure curiosity. Bella shifted a little, before her eyes flickered about the room until they came to rest on his.

"Should I?" She asked once more, and I nudged her. She looked down at me, questioningly, and I raised an eyebrow at her.

"Really, Bella? You're not thirsty?" I asked, and almost regretted it when her hand instinctively went to her throat, rubbing it.

"Now that you've mentioned it…" She murmured, her voice becoming hoarse. "I am thirsty."

"Excellent!" Aro said excitedly before turning over to his servant. "Bring us a snack." Was all that he said as Demitri blurred out the door, and came back in with a human child. I couldn't believe it, they were going to make Bella kill a child! Edward started to growl in protest, but one look from Aro shut him up.

"Aro…" I started my protest, but he waved me off with a hand.

"Can you see how much restraint she has? She is ought to be thirsty." He grinned that sadistic grin, and urged Demitri to toss the child over to Bella. The guard did exactly just that, and Bella caught the child before he could fall down the hard floor, breaking anything that would mean killing him. But I knew that he would have bruises later after that catch.

"Bella…?" I turned to look at her, and her eyes were fixated on the boy's blood. I could hear the boy's blood being pumped rapidly through his body, and I knew that it was hard for her. "Bella, don't! He's just a child!" I tried to reason with her, and by some strange miracle, she tore her eyes away from the child and looked at me, her eyes were filled with pain and guilt.

I sighed, and took the boy away from her, in which she hesitated to hand the boy over, but gave in afterward. Edward! I screamed his name out in my mind, and immediately he came over to me. I handed him the child, but didn't go unnoticed when his eyes flickered towards Bella.

"Get him away from her." I said lowly, but orderly enough that he nodded and took the boy to the corner, trying to comfort the frightening child. I then turned my attention back to Bella, she was still looking at me, as if to calm herself down.

"Bella…" I murmured as my hand reached over to her, but I halted my action, I wasn't sure if it would be a good idea to hold her hand. As if she could read my thought, her hand shot out and grasped mine without hesitation. I smiled at her, and I could see that she was straining herself to smile back at me, but her smile turned into a grimace.

"Let's go hunt." I said, before I turned towards the Volturi members, my eyes hardened on them. "On animals." I added then tugged at her. She didn't move, and when I tugged her harder, she seemed to trip forward, which caused me to giggle. She gave me a playful growl before letting me lead her outside of the castle, and out into the dark street in just a short moment.

This would be fun. Teaching Bella to hunt. I had to be aware of my surrounding though, I didn't want any human to linger by when Bella was giving into the monster within her. She was still a newborn after all. But I had to give her some credit for stopping herself from killing that child. I thought that if I could stick with her, she would be able to control herself more. Well, now it was off to hunt and teach her the basic rules of hunting. The rest, I know she would figure them out soon enough.

A/N: Told you it wasn't much of a cliff hanger. Hehe.

Don't like the Volturi, don't like Edward either. Hell, the child may even be more frightening with Edward than with Bella lol. So yea the hunt is next, and this fanfic is dragging. I hope I don't have 100 chapters, because that would be crazy !
