Thank you all for reviewing! So please continue! Here is the next chapter. I thought I might write Aro's POV again for you all to understand why he did what he did( you will find out about that in this chapter). I wasn't planning to but if I didn't, then the story would have been confusing for you.

Aro's POV

I did this for her, for Bella. She won't like it now but she will forgive me. Bella wasn't the one to hold grudges. And anyway, she must understand. It is important. She had to meet her old family, the Cullens. I saw how she struggled. She suffered because of them. She could never forget, she could never let go. But she had to. This is why I did this. She couldn't walk around like that for the rest of her existence! I wouldn't let her be miserable. Miserable people are quite useless. She was a great fighter, but she could be better! She would work harder for us, the Volturi, if there was no one else in her life. Vampire memory was strong, so she wouldn't be able to let it slip away. But she could move on. That was possible. The memory of that family would stay somewhere in the back of her mind. She wouldn't go to that part of her mind. She wouldn't want to remember the vampires who left her, who didn't want her. Bella would face the Olympic coven for the last time. Then her sole reason for existing would be to serve the Volturi. She will become the best warrior there is. Nobody will be able to harm her. She will be the fastest and the strongest. I will make sure of that. And then I would make her The Princess of Volterra and Volturi. I wanted her to be. Who knows, maybe she will discover a new power. That girl was precious, I wasn't about to let that go for granted.

I was excited, the plan of her future would make us even more powerful! I was worried also though. Caius told me something, or should I say someone, might ruin our plans. What if Bella's and Edward's reunion went a little different, not the way I had planned? What if Bella forgave Edward? What if

they became mates? The prospects were endless. I didn't want to think about them, but I had to. The future of The Volturi rests on Bella's decision. But would she forgive? I wouldn't, if I were her. But the problem was that I wasn't her. I won't be able to influence her decision. That was a bad thing, no, it was worse. I wasn't use to this, I wasn't use to being weak. I wasn't use to the fact, that I couldn't make all the decisions. I could invite the Olympic coven, but what would happen next I wouldn't know. The decision wasn't mine. I hate not knowing the outcome. If only I knew the future...

She did harbor a great hate for Edward but that could always change. But I knew the bond between those two was very strong. I didn't need Marcus for that. I didn't even need to see them to together to know! In my whole life as a vampire, and I have been one for a long time, I have never met a vampire with a human as a couple. Edward didn't hurt her and she was his La Tua Cantante! I have never met anyone who could resist their singer but Edward did. It really amazed me. He had very good self control. He went near her, he even kissed her a million times without hurting her! He could only do that if he wanted her alive. That could only happen if he loved her greatly.

But maybe a good thing would come out if Edward and Bella stayed together. It was possible that instead of Edward leaving, he would stay. I would have to work for that to happen of course. But hopefully not much. I had to convince her to stay, convince her that we wouldn't be able to get on without her, convince her that I really cared about her as a father, that I would be heartbroken if she left. She knows what it is like to be heartbroken. Now that I think about it, it won't be that hard. Bella is gullible. If Edward would stay then we will have another addition to The Volturi. He could be very useful. If Edward comes, Alice might too. That would be even better.

I couldn't stop thinking about what would happen if Edward left with Bella. I couldn't loose her. She was extraordinary. She was the best thing that happened to the Volturi so far! At the same time, I couldn't threaten her. Marcus and Caius felt the same way. She wasn't just a member of the Volturi, she was something more...a daughter... I loved her... It was strange that I should say that. I couldn't permit myself to become close to someone. It was to dangerous. An enemy might use that against me. What if some vampire took Bella? I wouldn't be able to let that somebody kill her.

Yes, it is very dangerous to have a close relationship with someone. And yet, I couldn't do anything about that, I couldn't stay away...

I didn't think I could love any one except Sulpicia, my mate. And she is far from danger in the tower with the other wives. I didn't worry about her, Sulpica is protected well. But Bella is not out of harm's way. I did everything to make sure her missions went successfully. I even requested that she should change appearances, so nobody would really know who she was.

Bella is like a treasure to the Volturi. Not only for the Volturi, for me too... For the first time in centuries I didn't know what to do. What would I have to do? Would I have to kill Edward if Bella decided to leave? That is the safest thing to do. Kill Edward like I killed Didyme, my sister. I never wanted to kill my own sister, but I didn't want Marcus to leave even more. I had no other choice. Like now? No, I must wait and see. Things might turn out differently. Why do I always expect the unfortunate things to happen? But planning was important. Just in case. I sincerely hoped that Edward's and Bella's relationship would stay in the walls of Volterra. But hoping brought me no where, acting did...

Their bond is do strong that it would destroy anyone in the way I thought, grim. But I wouldn't be stopped. I had no intention of that... If anybody would be destroyed it would be Bella's and Edward's love for each other... I don't want to hurt Bella. I thought stubbornly. I have an important decision to make. Which do I want more, Bella's happiness or Bella's power? She was the key to make the Volturi even more powerful. I knew which I wanted more but I also knew I would regret my choice in the future.

I came out of my thought when I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in" I said.

Demetri opened the door and announced "The Olympic coven is here".

He opened the door even wider and I saw the Cullen family there. At that moment the only thing I could think about was about protecting my own thoughts. For they wouldn't stay stay in my mind. Edward was here.

"Welcome! I was looking forward to your visit! It is very nice to see you once again." My whole life consists of nothing but lies. How pathetic. But this is how I can get everything I want... or I can loose everything I want. It is just like gambling, gambling with lives...

Mandy POV

I walked into the throne room feeling bored. Jane and Bella went on the mission without me. That sucks. It wasn't as though I wanted to fight, I was somewhere in the middle. I just didn't want to be left. Now what am I going to do I sighed and walked into the throne room. I seriously can't be alone. Life here is just so... dull. If I can't dress mom up in designer trends then what do I do? Why did she have to take Ava? I can't play a prank on somebody without Ava! She took Jane too! I always tormented Jane when mom was gone! It was very fun tormenting her. She could never hurt me because if she did, mom would be mad. Jane respects mom and she wouldn't do anything against her wishes. Mom did tell me not to laugh at her... but what are sisters for, even adopted sisters. And anyway I am doing what is good for her I thought, trying not to laugh. I am helping her control her anger issues. She looses control a lot. I was trying to think seriously but couldn't. If I keep trying not to laugh then I will only end up snorting. I better think of something else. I remembered Bella didn't take Layne or Heidi. I could go shopping with them. I looked around, trying to find them, when I noticed strangers. Their were seven vampires in the throne room. I haven't seen them before. I looked closely, examining each detail.

One of them caught my attention. A boy was standing with the others. He was about 17 years old. He had bronze hair and gold eyes. I was surprised. Not many vampires were "vegetarians". How peculiar. I didn't know anyone, aside from the Volturi, who drank animal blood. And even we slipped up often. It wasn't always just accidents though.

When Bella was away on a mission for a long time, Aro, Caius and Marcus had a feast. I didn't blame them. It was very hard to feed on humans for a long time and then all of a sudden change the diet. But I never joined them. I didn't kill any humans since mom came I thought proudly. It wasn't hard for me. I never enjoyed sulking other people's lives away from them. I just did it because I had to feed. I didn't know there was another way. And another reason that it was easier for me was because of my power. If I all of a sudden wanted to kill a human, I looked at their life. After that I just couldn't murder him or her. You can't murder the person who you knew. That's what it felt like. Like I knew the person my whole life. It didn't feel like the person was only the prey any more. He had his own life. He had to finish it a better way. I wasn't going to end it for them.

I looked at the boy again. He was lanky- not bulky and had untidy hair. He was looking at me wearily. I wonder why? I almost laughed at my stupidity. Gee. I get distracted and all of a sudden I am idiotic? I don't wonder, I know.

I slipped into his past, I couldn't believe what I saw.

I was traveling through all his memories. I saw everything, how he became a vampire, who he killed... And all of a sudden there was Bella! The same Bella, my Bella. But she used to be his. I recognized her right away. It didn't matter that she was a human at the time. I saw all about him and her together. Their undying love was so... romantic! No other word could describe it. It didn't feel like this was really somebody's life. It felt like a romance novel. I never knew this could happen out of the storybook. She knew he was a vampire, it didn't matter, nothing did. A love movie. I thought, sighing. For a moment I forgot that I was not watching a film with my friends.

Then I saw James. He wanted her dead. He almost succeeded with his mission but Edward came. I watched as he heroically sucked the venom out of Bella. He didn't want her to be a "monster". There was graduation... I couldn't keep up. The pictures were going faster and faster. Oh wait, I am doing this. Distracted once again and I forget myself. I can't look at everything, that will take to much time. I skipped ahead and slowed down when I saw Edward and Bella in the forest. He was leaving... without her. She begged him not to... he said he didn't want her... How dare he! But then I understood. He was talking to his family. He wanted her to have a normal life. He didn't want her to be in constant danger. He loved her. This was a huge sacrifice for himself. I saw his future years and how he suffered. He went on living in sorrow. Jasper couldn't take it and left. Alice went with him. Soon the whole family broke apart.

I went back into the present world. I had seen enough. I didn't want to see any more melancholy. Then my thoughts went to mom. She wouldn't like this. Oh god! What do I do! I can't let him know before she does! He took a step back toward the other vampires. It took a step back too. I can't believe... This is why... Oh! He is a mind reader! I can't let him... Mom will be mad. I knew I shouldn't think about that but I couldn't help it. My thoughts were chaos. I couldn't control them. They had a mind of their own. It was just this whole visit took me by surprise. I wasn't usually like this. I could change the topic that I was thinking about quickly. But not now. I was confused. Distract yourself!

Mom is gonna kill me if I don't stop

"Hey do you want to break my arm!" Layne spoke up.

I hadn't noticed that I was holding on to her.

I looked at Layne and she whispered " Wh-What is wrong?"

She saw the worry in my eyes. I franticly looked for a way out. I had to leave or he would find out something he shouldn't At least not yet... My eyes caught Aro. He set this up. I grabbed Layne and raced for the door. She stumbled after me. Yes, she actually stumbled! I was running really fast. I ripped the door off it's hinges, threw it and got away as fast as I could.

How did you like Aro's POV and Mandy's POV. R&R please!!!
