Be Careful what you wish for!
Disclaimer: As I have said before and I'll tell you this in every chapter I create, I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT! But if I did Bella would be lots darker and not such a priss (don't tell Stephanie Meyers, please she'll kill me if she finds out!)
Okay… I've decided that I will not stop this chapter until it's like at least six pages or longer. So that way a certain person (*cough*cough* who reviewed chapter 2) won't think I'm slacking off by writing short chapters. So I'll stop now and start the chapter! Oh and if you find typos (found out that I had like one or two in the last story) please tell me! Remember to R&R, just don't be harsh! First story, (I'm thinking about doing one for Skullduggery Pleasant). This chapter continues in Bella's POV and then goes to Edward's POV.

Chapter 4: New life Pt.2/ Empty shell
BPOV
I couldn't go to sleep after what Aro had done. Though he thought it was funny and cute, I thought I was just plain stupid. I wanted to rip Aro's lips off his face, but currently he was in a meeting that I was supposed to attend soon. But truthfully I still wanted to rip off Aro's lips. Those perfect curvaceous lips…
Bella snap out of it! Why are you thinking about that?! Remember you want to kill vampires, you hate them, remember that!
Right, but still I couldn't get rid of the burning, tingling feeling off my cheek. I wish I could just find something extinguish the feeling.
I bundled up deep in the covers and tightened myself into a ball and stared at a blank wall when there was a tap on my shoulder making me jump. I turned over quickly to see Alec standing over me with a bored expression.
"What do you want Alec?!"
"Hmm," he inquired, "so this was the dark fierceness Aro was talking about, nice. Especially coming from a human."
"Thanks now get out so I can sleep."
"Sorry, can't do that, I've been sent her to get you so Aro can discuss your living plans here." I rolled my eyes in the darkness, but Alec easily caught onto the motion. "I know you don't want to, but Aro will be pissed if I don't bring you."
"Fuck off, Alec."
"Ugh, if you want it the hard way princess." Before I could protest his cold arms became shackles around my body and he hefted me over his should without so much as a grunt.
Just like Emmett use to do… NO! No more remembering them! This is your new life, now get used to it Isabella!
In less than a blink of an eye we were already through the door and flying through the halls to the throne room. I had barely heard the door close. We flew through the halls faster than a car that had a faulty accelerator pedal.
We finally jerked to a stop at two large doors with the Voultori crescent engraved in the middle of the doors. I was a near drunk when Alec placed me on my feet. I wobbled a bit, but Alec helped me keep a steady footing.
With no effort at all Alec pushed the two large doors open. I was dark inside of the throne room except for the few torches that kept it light, but gave it an ominous feeling.
"Come on inside children." It was Caius' voice. I wanted to walk for myself, but Alec had placed a forceful grip on my shoulder forcing me to follow after him.
We walked down a long, barely lit, hallway that terrified me fiercely, but I didn't show it on the outside. I continued to wear my annoyed look on my face acting as if I didn't care. But the truth was I wished that Edward was by my side leading me to Aro, but the minute I thought of Edward, I thought back to my dream and the reality of him sleeping with other women. This brought back up my hatred for vampires and Edward especially. This helped burn my fear deep into the black pits of my heart. Suddenly my glare became dangerous and fierce and Alec noticed.
"You look better like that. It makes you look sexier fierce, better than that big baby that hung to a boy who later cheated on her."
"Shut the fuck up Alec, and just lead." Though I wanted to thank Alec for the comment I decided against that, it would just bring back that old Bella that believed that her cheating man-whore of a boyfriend would come back to her. Which I realized would never happen.
We finally made it into a large chamber that had three hooded figures sitting on thrones quietly talking to one another. Alec cleared his throat and this got them to finally realize our presence. I could see one of the hooded figures looking at me with a wide grin that I recognized belonged to Aro.
"Well, well, if it isn't my dark princess. Ms. Swan, how nice of you to grace us with you magnificent presence."
"Well Aro, if your fuck-hole of a guard wouldn't have dragged me out of bed I wouldn't be here freezing my ass off." It was true, since it was such a big cavern it was very cold and all I had on were some jeans, a short sleeve t-shirt, and some ankle socks.
"Well I'll fix that. DEMETRI!"
Demetri appeared from the dark shadows of the cavern and walked up to Aro's chair and kneeled down.
"Yes master?"
"Please give Ms. Swan something to keep her from getting cold."
"Yes master." Demetri stood and bowed to Aro showing him a sign of his respect. Aro smiled gently and waved his arm as if to show Demetri he we taking too long. Demetri got up and walked out of the cavern and appeared back a few moments later with a dark cloak and swiftly bundled me up in the warm wool. But I wanted to know what the hell was wrong with all the Voultori, because it seemed as if every time I came around one of the Guard or a member they felt the need to touch me and I seriously wasn't in the touching mood. After he had put the cloak on me I had brushed myself off as if he were a walking disease.
I turned back to face the three hooded figures, "Okay so now I'm not cold, so what is this about."
"Just like I told you before my sweet Isabella, it is about your living conditions here with the Voultori." What he had said just really made my day.
"Look Aro, there are two things wrong with what you just said."
"Oh and that would be, my dear?"
"First off you called me sweet, that past tense a left me a long time ago, and second off you called me Isabella, and let me tell you this, no vampire in this stupid place will address me as that name, you will clearly and solely know me as Bella Swan. Nobody, I repeat, NOBODY will ever call me Isabella again, and the only person who has rights to that name is my father. Got it?!"
"Quite, but isn't there someone else how use to call you that name? A certain someone who drove you to come here?" I knew who he was talking about, but I wasn't getting into that.
"Yeah, but he no longer has rights to the name either, he is to address me as Bella as well, and if I so hear anyone call me by full name, they'll be hell to pay."
"Wow, Aro," one of the hooded figures purred, "she is feisty. I like."
"Back off, ass-wipe."
"Aw, come on Bella don't be so harsh. I'm just a man." I realized that now they were taunting me; trying to get under my skin and agitate me to no return. And it was working. Those were the same words Edward had said to me in the meadow when talked about realizing his feelings for me.
They all laughed, except me. My cheeks flamed and I clenched my hands into tight fists.
"Wow, we should piss Bella off more often, she smells even more radiant with that blush." I realized another of the hooded figures was Marcus.
"Shut up! I thought you were here to talk about me living here."
"Oh yes, yes, you got us sidetracked with your fierce beauty." I really, REALLY wished Aro would stop that, he did not know how close he was to getting beat up from me when I got turned.
Wait back the fuck up! Did I just say 'when I get turned'? Hell's nah! That is a definite no, no. There is no way in hell that I'm turning into a blood-sucking leech if I couldn't stand the leeches myself. God! What is with me!
"Well…" I prompted. I was tired and irritated enough as is. Aro and his men were just adding to my frustrations.
"Oh yes, well as you know that now that you live here you cannot leave us. You have the freedom to roam Italy if you wish, but you are not to leave from Voultori eyesight, if you do we will kill you when we bring you back." I rolled my eyes and Aro chuckled. "You are free to roam the halls of this castle so as long as you don't annoy any of the Guard."
"Nooo… So as long as they don't piss me off."
"Ah, there's that spark again. It truly makes you seem more and more like a little drama queen. Yes, but that's beside the point." Damn right it is. "When I call for you, you will appear before me and my men without hesitation, we will not wait on your time Ms. Swan, if you wish to dawdle, I shall have Alec there become your personal escort for the rest of your stay here."
I didn't say anything I didn't really want to know how long they were going to keep me human. But Aro mistook my quietness as an unanswered question. One I didn't want to be answer.
"We have decided that we will let you remain human for a good while, for about six months or so, if you act like a good girl we'll probably let you have longer." I growled when he said good girl. I couldn't stand people calling me good or sweet or properly mannered that was before that cheating bastard went and broke my heart. But my growl seemed to please them and even made them laugh. Demetri and Alec even laughed. I just wanted to pull out a 9mm and splatter my brains all over the wall.
"Here you go my rose, may this heal your broken heart." Aro threw me a flower, and him and the rest of the Guard, besides Alec who was going to escort me back to my room, left me standing there looking at the flower at my feet.
I picked it up and felt my cheeks heat up with anger. "What is this some kind of sick joke Aro?!"
I looked at the red rose in my hands and felt the stem snap under my tight grip. With anger rising in my chest I tore off the bloom off of the stem with my teeth. I spit it out on the ground and stomped on it. I twisted it with my foot and ground the rest of the surviving stem until it was barely recognizable by human eyes. I began breathing heavily while Alec clapped at my latest spectacle.
"Wow, Bella, just wow. That was quite astounding; who knew a human could harbor so much anger inside." I turned to look at Alec with dark furious eyes.
"Shut up Alec; just shut the hell up okay! I can't stand you or anyone here in fact I wish you all would just_" I was stopped by Alec's fierce lips on mine, he crushed my body to his and his lips moved on top of my unmoving ones. His tongue probed my bottom lip and my eyes widened.
What was this motherfucker thinking?! Did he have a death wish? He finally removed his lips and I stared at him wide eyed. My mouth slightly opened.
"I'm sorry I couldn't help it, it's just that you were quite irresistible with that little fit of yours. I couldn't help myself." He chuckled and wiped my lips with a swipe of his fingers. "Come on we'd better get you to bed before Aro thinks we're doing something naughty."
I stared at Alec with wide eyes, what did he just do? I couldn't remember. I wanted so badly to do something to him, but I wasn't sure what. Alec held out his hand for me, but I brushed him aside and walked past him. But I was guessing he was the type who didn't take no for an answer; instead he picked me up and threw me over his shoulder with a laugh.
With a rush of speed he took me back to my room.
EPOV
I sat in the forest with my fists over my eyes. How could I have been so stupid? Why didn't I see it earlier? Her incisive excuses, her lack of talking to me and my family, why didn't I see it? Why?
I went to Bella's house and knocked on the door. Charlie answered. He looked around nervously and scratched his head. I could hear his guilty thoughts in his head.
Damn! What the hell should I do? Edward is at my door and Bella's not here. Crap! Should I lie, no he might want to actually want to go up to her room. I guess I should tell him.
"Uh, Edward…"
"Save it Charlie," I hissed, "I already know, Bella isn't here. And you let the Voultori come and get her."
"I-I, I didn't want them to…"
"So what the fuck did you want them to do? Huh?! They came a fucking stole my girlfriend Charlie! MY GIRLFRIEND!"
"W-well you weren't making her happy! She said that was what she wanted, to be as far away from you as possible, truthfully she didn't want the Voultori coming to get her, she really wanted to go and stay with Renee, but they gave her an offer she couldn't refuse."
"And that was…" I pushed. I watched his thick brows knit together in concern.
"W-well they promised her that if she was to join them they would turn her and she would have freedom to… um… kill you and your family."
I stared at him in disbelief, Isabella wouldn't, not my Isabella. No matter how mad I knew she wouldn't stoop that low as to rid herself of pain and anger. Would she? Who was this new woman that has taken over my Isabella's body?
"Charlie, you aren't lying to me are you?"
"N-no Edward, not this time. It's the truth, they promised to change her and allow her to exact her revenge on your family. And she wanted that."
"NO!" I growled. "My Bella wouldn't do that. She would never harm my family. She would never want to kill me."
"Well um, it was her decision…"
"And you didn't stop her from making that decision why?! You're her goddamned father for Christ's sake. Why the hell didn't you tell her it was wrong to harm my family?"
He looked down ashamed. The goddamn bastard wanted me and my family to die by his daughter's hands. How the hell could Charlie do this to us? He promised to be there for us and for what? His little girl getting a little hissy fit is going to make him change his fucking mind?
"You son of a bitch!" I yelled. "You want us to die don't you?"
"W-well, Bella's been telling me how you've been hurting her and Marcus even told me how you were cheating on her with your sisters."
I was furious at Marcus for adding Charlie in the 'I now hate the Cullen's' pool, population Bella and now Charlie. But I still wasn't going to back down.
"What I do with my fucking sisters is of my concern, not yours dammit."
"Well if you hadn't cheated on my baby girl, it wouldn't have become my business. You're so damn sick Edward, you and your family makes me want to puck." Charlie was mad now; his face starting to turn dark shades of red. "I hope Bella kills you and every single last one of the Cullen's you all just make me sick. How could you go and break Bella's heart like that. You had her going this entire time thinking that it would be you and her until the end. Now she knows it' just a lie. A goddamn one that's come back to slap her in the face."
With that Charlie slammed the door in my face and I heard him stomp off into the living room ranting about how vampires were the worst species he had ever encountered. He sat on the couch with a loud huff and turned the volume on the television loud enough so he could drown out everything else.
I huffed and walked away. Charlie was right, even though I didn't want to admit it to him; he was right. I was sick, sleeping with my sisters and not realizing what I've been doing to Bella. I had no right to call her mine anymore. If I had been human I would have taken a knife and slit my throat and let the pain bleed out, but there is no point anymore, any knife would just break on contact with my skin.
I removed myself from Charlie's front door and went back into the forest to cover my face. I finally knew how it felt for Mike Newton when he had been constantly rejected by Bella. I felt empty inside; it was like this sort of emptiness I couldn't deny. It hurt and I was pretty sure this was how Bella felt everyday she realized I was cheating on her. I was horrible to her and know fate was back to get me.
"Fate, thou art a deceitful bitch." And there I sat in the forest all alone, without my precious Bella.
And all the while I sat there wondering:
Why am I such an ass? Why do I screw up everything? Would Bella be back to fix my wounded heart?
Okay End of Chapter! Wahoo! Did you like it? Did you think that this Bella is much darker? Did Alec have a right to kiss her? Come on peoples I need reviews! Oh and I've posted my apologies for why I haven't been posting in a long time. I'm still finishing up chapter 5 and thinking up some ideas for chapter 6. I'm kinda stumped; I've been thinking up these awesome last chapters but I can't think of how to do Chapter 6. For chapter 5 I decided to do Aro and Alec's POV on how they feel about this new Bella, but what should I do for Chapter 6? After I post up # 5 please tell me. I haz writers block. Remember don't be harsh about it either.
