Hey! Here is the chapter you guys have been waiting for!Although it probably isn't how you expect it to be. But that doesn't mean it is a bad one.

BPOV

We finally got home. Home, sweet home... We transferred right into my room.

I was very happy, very happy. Strange, the fact that I just identified Victoria didn't change my mood. Actually, I was cheerful because of my enemy's appearance. I frowned at that thought. I should be worried, Victoria was coming to get me. She wouldn't stop at anything I thought grimly. Already my joyful morning was slipping away. I reminded myself that I had nothing to worry about. Victoria vs. Volturi? I just had to snort at that! No matter how big of an army "Vicky" made, we could always match. For example, today 5 of us killed 10 of her newborns. Nobody in our group suffered. I quickly looked around and calmed down when I saw that my assumptions were correct.

I was happy because today was the day when I started to forget them. All because of Victoria's presence.

Ava looked strange. Her narrowed eyes wouldn't leave my face. I waved my hand in front of her face, trying to get her attention.

"Humph" was the only thing she said.

I didn't count that as speaking to me. Speaking means saying words. "Humph" wasn't a word it was a sound. I was exasperated. Ava hadn't been speaking to me since I came back to the clearing, announcing that Victoria had gotten away. Was that what was annoying Ava? That I had let the creator away? No that isn't Ava. She spoke to me after I broke that news. What did I say? I couldn't remember. Who am I kidding? I could recall our conversation perfectly, I couldn't figure out what I said wrong.

"What are you a wolf, going around huffing and puffing?" I said playfully.

I lightly punched her in the arm and smiled. But the smile soon vanished from my face. Ava wasn't reacting. What is up with her? She wasn't the one to be grim because of a joke. She usually would have laughed along and said that I had a poor sense of humor. But she loved my jokes, always laughed. Either that or she was just a great friend.

"Yeah. I am huffing and puffing, trying to blow your shield down!" She exclaimed.

"What? Are you talking about? Why would you want my shield down? It's useful".

"I didn't mean it that way. I only want you to start talking!"

"I am talking. You are the one who doesn't want to!" I started getting defensive.

I didn't get it. She wants me to talk, but I am trying to! She just won't answer me! Ava put her hands up to her head and closed her eyes.

"I thought I was one of your best friends" she stated, hurt showing in her voice.

"You are!" I exclaimed.

I didn't understand where all of this was coming from. She, along with Layne, Mads and Jane were my closest friends! I was always with them. I didn't hang out with anyone else. She knows that, and yet...

"Best friends don't keep secrets from each other"

I felt all the color draining off my face, that is if I had any color. I finally understood why Ava was mad at me and what her intentions were. After the fight everyone questioned me about Victoria. I told them little. I didn't know about much Victoria anyway. But I refused to answer the personal questions. I wouldn't tell my interested public about my connections with Victoria, that was only for me to know.

There was an odd silence between me and Ava. Everyone left their conversations to watch us. They were to interested. I was the only person in The Volturi who's past was still a secret. Only Aro, Caius and Marcus knew. I was very lucky that everyone thought that those three were just as clueless. Or else Mads would have looked into their past and saw the conversation I had had with them. And now, five decades later everyone will know? How do I to get myself out of this situation?

I looked around nervously. Sure enough, everyone was still here and staring at me. Even Ava opened her eyes. She was looking at me with raised eyebrows. Her expression was easy to read. It said "So, are you going to tell me or not? What are best friends for?"

I cleared my throat and was saved by the bell, or more like a crash... Layne and Mandy stomped in. Ava groaned, knowing her chance was ruined. I on the other hand silently screamed "hallelujah".

But I was instantly alarmed by them. They were staring at me like I was some stranger.

Layne looked tired. She looked at me, shook her head and murmured "I can't believe it"

Instantly every head turned in her direction. I was happy that nobody was paying attention to me anymore. Layne ignored everyone else and looked me in the eye.

"You've got a lot of explaining to do Missy"

I gulped and started babbling "Sorry, sorry, sorry! I know this was a new outfit and all, but we were fighting! You can't expect clothes not to get dirty while we fight! I mean, that is just impossible! And... look at the bright side! Mandy can take you shopping! That's good, isn't it?"

I didn't even convince myself.

"Don't worry about that" Layne answered softly.

I looked at her quizzically. What is she talking about then? I didn't do anything else bad, did I? Usually Ava was the one being "inspected". Now I know how she must feel.

Layne turned to Mandy. She was staring into space, smiling. She looked like a child at Christmas. Layne nudged her and Mads snapped out of it.

"We need to talk to you!" she exclaimed with a smile on her face.

She looked around the room and frowned. I understood, she wanted to speak to me, only me.

"ALONE!" She yelled.

I was surprised. She only looked child like. But inside she was quite a devil, especially if she didn't get her way. Everyone cringed, hearing her load commanding tone, but didn't move. She wasn't the captain here, I was.

"OK...Alana and Medea report to Aro. Tell him that the creator escaped"

They were already unhappily heading for the door when stopped them.

"And tell Aro that he better watch out"

Alana gave me a strange look and blinked furiously. But she turned around and went out the door.

"Jane go assemble Power in our conference room"

Jane left angrily. She loved secrets, and despised not knowing them. She also managed to stick her tongue out at Mandy, who only reply was a fake innocent sweet smile. Only Ava was left. I didn't know what I should make her do, my mind was thinking about something else completely.

I hit my head with my hand and exclaimed "Oh no! I forgot to tell Alana and Medea to meet us in the discussion room. Could you please warn them?"

But Ava didn't reply. She kept standing before me, staring at the ceiling and lightly stomping her foot.

I sighed "We'll talk about it later. How about that?"

I felt bad about lying. I wasn't going to tell her anything. I didn't want to talk about that part of mylife. Only now I was starting to move on. I was finally alright. Not completely healed, but alright. He left me and thats how life turned out. It could have been a lot worse. I could deal with that.

"Deal" Ava answered cheerfully and glided out the door.

She isn't going to forgive me that fast when I won't tell her anything. I looked at my unexpected visitors. Mandy looked like there was a sale at her favorite store and Layne looked just as excited. Thats strange. Just a while ago Layne seemed annoyed.

"Before you two pounce on me, let me change"

I switched my appearance. Now I was the old me, the real me, Bella. Just like I thought they would, they ambushed me. And started talking, all at the same time, super fast. I couldn't even catch up to their conversation.

"Stop it. If you want to speak to me then slow down" I calmly stated.

"How come you didn't tell me about him?!" Layne burst out.

"Who?" I questioned, confused.

Who are they talking about?

"Well, you know... Him! B! Him!" She answered pacing around the room and shooting glances at Mandy.

"What she's saying is that she she doesn't remember his name" Mandy laughed.

"What are you talking about? I DON'T UNDERSTAND!" I screeched, my nerves not under control.

"But I do. I understand everything now. I know your past. Why you never go out with vampires. Once I saw him I understood. This is all because of Edward." Mandy stated, completely cool.

She said it as though she was only stating her favorite type of animal to drink from. Like she she didn't notice that I a second ago yelled so loudly, that everyone in the castle heard me. But I, I was far from unruffled. I was agitated and afraid. This can't be happening. This can't be happening. This can't be happening I kept repeating to myself. This is all a dream. No, a nightmare. Then I realized that this was occurring. We can't sleep. My world went crashing down on me. How do I get myself out of this mess? It is true what they always say, the past comes back to bite...

"I can't do this" I stated.

I was sitting cross legged on my couch. I was meditating, trying to calm myself down, Layne advised it.

"You have to sweetie" Mandy said, while brushing my hair.

She was giving me a new hairdo. Her words were "Nothing calms the soul as good makeover!"

"Hey. Aren't I supposed to be the mom?" I objected.

"Fine! Maybe your best friend can convince you otherwise!" Mandy grumbled.

"Go ahead. Talk some sense into me, will ya?" I crossed my arms and looked at Layne expectedly.

"Look B, your going to have to face them sooner or later. I pick sooner!" Layne exclaimed, flashing me a "pretty please" smile.

"No, not really" I shrugged, not moving.

"Yes. Yes. YES"

"Make me"

"If that's what it takes, sure"

I looked into her eyes, alarmed. Is she serious? Oh yes, yes she is. She was going to make me face them against my will. She stood up, hands on her hips, squinting at me. In the next second she grabbed my legs and started pulling. Good thing that I had time to hold on. I grasped my couch. But Layne started pulling me out the door with the couch. She was going to make a hole in the wall. Mandy was standing silently at the side, watching all of this unfold. She finally came between our little "moment".

"No! No! And NO! What is it with you, Layne? She can't go out there!"

Layne looked at her, wide eyed. She froze for a second and that was enough time for me to get my legs out. I was happy that for once, someone was on my side.

"I mean, just look at her! No offense, but you look horrible! Edward can't see her without any make up and in her pajamas! Thanks to you, her hair is also ruined! It looks like a total mop!" Many continued while digging around in my closet, trying to find me the perfect outfit.

So Mandy isn't on my side at all. She just wants me to look acceptable. But she was right. I couldn't go out to see him like this. He would probably think that I just sat around wallowing all day, waiting for his return. That would be embarrassing and not to mention pathetic. I didn't let my hurt show, I didn't want to tell Mandy that I felt a little abandoned. I shouldn't feel this way. She only wants the best for me. But so did someone else... And that ended up going wrong.

Instead I said cheerfully "Vampires don't need makeup. We look as perfect as it is"

"Humph. I don't want you to look perfect, I want you to look fabulous! Oh, here it is!"

She sat down, onto my light pink rug and proudly held up a dress. She found a dress in my closet that I have never seen. It was a light yellow color with a big black belt attached to it.(picture on my profile) It was plainer than what Mads would have usually picked out for me, but at the same time it was defiantly not plain. It was perfect. It would show Edward that I was doing well without him and at the same time it didn't look like a dress to were when you desperately wanted to impress someone.

"Wow" was all that I could say.

"I know!" Mandy replied, clapping her hands.

"I won't wear it though"

Mandy looked like she was stabbed. Her mouth fell open, in horror.

"It isn't me" I finished.

Mandy calmed down after I said this and began searching my closet. I couldn't believe it. Was Mandy, fashion expert, actually listening to me, sweatpants girl, and my advice on clothes? The world was defiantly coming to an end. Turns out I was wrong, again.

"That doesn't matter. Fashion will be fashion. And unless you can change it, you will be wearing the dress. I didn't bye it for nothing"

I almost rolled my eyes. Sometimes I do think she byes things just to spend money. She could put something new on one day, and the next, it will be found in the trash! And all because it is out of style. It turns out, she was looking for more stuff in my closet. She pulled out a bright yellow bag, yellow shoes that were on high heels, black gloves and big black glasses(picture on profile).

"Ta Da!" she yelled, excited.

"Fine. I'll wear it. But you owe me big time"

"What are you talking about? You'll owe me big time. When he sees you, he will say you look spectacular!"

The truth of my situation finally sank into me.

"What are you talking about? He left me! He said he didn't care about me anymore, he probably loves someone else by now!" I sobbed.

Layne and Mandy exchanged a look.

"He cared about you then. He just thought that you were in danger being with him. He still loves you. The whole family broke apart. He left, so did many of the others. He is only wallowing now. I wanted you to figure out on your own, but now I see that you aren't going to see them otherwise" Mandy confessed.

"How do you know? You don't know his thoughts" I whispered, not believing

Mandy rolled her eyes and seriously said "I know what he did. And I saw the conversations he had with his family"

"Oh. B-but I can't g-go out th-there"

"If it makes you feel better I will change your appearance. But only until you are satisfied that he still cares deeply for you" Layne butted in, sighing.

"Oh! I never thought about that!"

I was glowing. This could work. I will go in there, looking different, find out what he feels about me and make the hardest decision ever. Well, if he doesn't like you anymore then you don't have to embarrass yourself. But could it really be? Or was Mandy only trying to make me feel better? No, she wouldn't lie about something as important as this.

Layne, sensing what I was about to do, stopped me "No, I will change you. You promised me, today"

"Now! Another time. This..." I stopped when Layne started glaring at me.

"Don't worry. I will make you beautiful!" Layne chirped.

"That's exactly what I am afraid of" I mumbled.

She was handing me a mirror in no time. I took a deep breath and looked into the mirror. I let out a blood curling scream.

"YOU MADE ME EVEN PRETTIER THAN ROSALIE!"

That was the first time I mentioned a Cullen family member out of my own free will.

"Who?" Layne asked, utterly confused.

Mandy must have not told Layne about Rose.

"She could be super annoying, vain and arrogant. But overall she isn't that bad" Mandy said shrugging.

"I don't know that much. I haven't had a chance to see things in her perspective yet" She continued.

"She isn't bad!" I said

Mandy's eyebrows rose, she smiled and said "That's what I said. But a while ago you wanted to ignore them and now you are defending your least favorite?"

"Lets go already" was all that I said.

Jasper POV

Our family was awkwardly standing in the throne room because Aro wouldn't let us go. He kept persisting we meet his "special" vampire.

All of a sudden I heard a scream. I froze, thinking it was some unsuspecting prey. I didn't want to drink a humans blood. I didn't have very good self control yet. It was still hard for me. So if I caught a whiff of blood, I would get into a frenzy. And then I would upset everyone. I didn't want that. I especially didn't want to disappoint Alice. I cautiously took the breath that I was holding. To my relief, no human was hurt. Shortly after I heard "YOU MADE ME PRETTIER THAN ROSALIE!" I couldn't help but shake, I was trying to keep the laughter in. I finished trying when I saw Emmett rolling on the ground, his booming laugh standing in the air. Edward was more of lightly chuckling, he still felt bad about what he said to Rose. Alice's laugh was like twinkling of wind chimes. Ah. Her mood has improved. Carlisle was snorting, snickering and Esme, like a good mother was patting Rosalie on the back, trying to conceal her giggling. Rose was the only one who didn't find this situation funny. I felt the beams of anger and embarrassment radiating off her. I made a mental note of asking Edward what she was thinking later.

A couple minutes past by and in walked the most gorgeous vampire I had ever seen. She must have been the one who yelled. I found myself staring, this is what it feels like to be dazzled. I finally understood Bella. This was absolutely not me. I couldn't pull away no matter how hard I tried. Alice smacked me on the head and muttered something unintelligible. I will make it up to her I promised myself.

I was very surprised when I felt strong emotions from this vampire. There was anger when she looked at Aro. Then she glanced our way and I felt resentment, sadness and loneliness. What a mysterious vampire. And yet something kept nagging at me. Like this vampire wasn't baffling at all. Like I knew her... And yet I was sure I had never seen her.

EPOV

The female vampire was probably the most beautiful vampire in the world. And yet, she was only number two on my list. The first was of course Bella, the only one who caught my heart.

Aro stood up to introduce the vampire "This is..."

"Your death" she interrupted

I was pretty sure that lasers would come out of her eyes at any moment. Wow Emmett thought. Who does she think she is talking to the Volturi like that Rosalie thought, disgusted. Wait, who does she think she? I thought this time. Strangely enough, I couldn't read her thoughts. Nothing, absolutely nothing. Oh no. Not another special case to the rule I mentally groaned. My face was probably showing worry because Alice grabbed my hand. Looks like she has forgiven me I thought happily. What's wrong? Who is she? Alice asked.

"Another exception" I whispered.

Everybody could hear me anyway, so why did I bother? But nobody understands. I thought that until my eye caught on the Beauty. That would be how I called her, the nickname fit. I swear I saw the Beauty smiled and avoided my gaze. With a sinking feeling I thought Could she really know? That can't be possible. I convinced myself.

"Can I talk to you?" she asked Aro, stealing a glance at us.

"We have guests! That would be impolite" Aro answered.

"Well it is your fault! First the creator, then them!" she exclaimed pointing a finger at my family.

Looks like she found a way to be rude anyway. A group of vampires entered, among them I saw the little vampire, the one that was about 15 years old. Hmm, I am making up nicknames anyway... I tried to think of what to call her. Nothing came to my mind, she was just so mystical. Maybe I should call her that? Mystical? I don't think so. I bit my lip when I thought of something good. It was funny at the same time. -it-all. That would fit her well, she knows things about people. Speaking of understanding, I couldn't find her mind. I probed the air around but only found emptiness. I explored the girl next to -it-all, the one with gold hair. I'll call her Goldilocks since I don't know her name. Her mind was also strangely hollow.She caught me staring and scowled. I didn't need to have Jasper's power to sense what this girl was feeling. It showed in her posture and on her face. It was something of reluctance. She tried to stay as far as she could from me. And then there was also hatred but it wasn't shining through as obviously as her doubt. But I could still see it, in her eyes.

-it-all shoved Goldilocks and firmly said "Stop it"

"But he..."

"Do you wanthim to know, Layne? Cause B doesn't"

To my surprise Goldilocks closed her mouth. Could the little one hold an authority? I found that hard to believe. Don't judge some one by there appearance an inner voice told me.

At least I had found something out, Goldilocks was actually Layne, whoever that was. Now I only need to know who the Beauty, -it-all and"mom" is. Not to mention some B. Easier said than done. I had a bunch of puzzle pieces but couldn't make a picture.

BPOV

I was fuming. Aro was seriously annoying, very annoying, no, very very annoying. How could he do this to me without a warning and all in one day! He had no right to just invite the Cullen family, the Cullen family without my permission. I thought we agreed that my human life was to be left alone and in secret. Well goes to show you that you can't trust Aro in anything. I felt the rage boil in me. I felt like I was a dormant volcano finally ready to explode. And oh boy, the blast wasn't going to be pretty. Aro finally found the strength to try to introduce me again. I had surprised him that he was at a loss for words.

"This is Be..."

Was he crazy? Was he actually going to say Bella? I wasn't even in my body! I wasn't going to have it either way. I was quick to interrupt him.

"x. My name is Bex." was the first thing that came to my mind.

"Bex, huh? What an interesting name" Esme said, trying to make conversation.

That was when I realized how pathetic my lie sounded. Bex? What kind of name is that? I thought up a lie that sounded good enough for vampire ears.

"Actually, that is short for Rebbecca"

Esme smiled and nodded "Nice to meet you, I'm Esme"

I know. I know more than you think I do... Esme took her hand out. She wants me to shake it I moaned. I couldn't touch her. I can't. I have enough suffering as it is. My hand cautiously reached hers. Esme didn't notice my discomfort. I gulped, expecting a cold hard hand that could easily bruise me. All I got was a cool one. I barely suppressed my gasp. This was surprising. Don't be stupid Bella, you are a vampire now. Count on me to forget everything.

Then they all "lined up".

Carlisle shook my hand and said in a professionally manner "I am glad to make your acquaintance Rebbecca. My name is Carlisle"

I politely smiled but I was really thinking You haven't changed at all. I started to panic when I saw that I was going to "meet" Edward next. Why oh why couldn't he have gone last? I don't have time to prepare myself! I forced a smile and looked into his face. My emotions changed unexpectedly. Who was I kidding? I didn't hate him, I loved him. I adored Edward. Edward, the thief who stole my heart. Right at that second I forgot about everything around me. I forgot about Victoria, Aro and the rest of the Cullens. There was only Edward and I. This is what heaven feels like. I noticed the uncomfortable silence between us. At least it was only strange to Edward, who thought I was Bex, for me it was just a moment between two loved ones. Then I remembered the truth. I don't know how he feels about me. Time to find out.

"Hello. It is a pleasure to meet you Edward" I finally said.

He changed drastically. He was no longer smiling his crooked smile. He looked strange . His eyes narrowed. He was going to shake my hand but it dropped. He took a step back. What did I do wrong? I checked myself. Nope, Layne didn't change my appearance. Did I say something wrong? He looked suspicious of me. Did he recognize my voice? Did he recognize me? I sincerely hoped not. I wanted to be the one to reveal myself when the time was right, not the other way around.

I didn't have time to check this, so I hope it sounds OK! Please review! If you do then I will write faster! CHECK OUT MY NEW POLL! It is more interesting than the last one!
