I still don't own Twilight.
"You're alive…" He whispered his hand reaching up to touch her cheek and quick as lightning a hand shot up and threw his down.
Rizza had went from shock to pure rage in thirty seconds flat, everything was rushing back to quickly and for a girl who didn't have a good temper at the best of times this was enough to send her spiralling into madness.
"Where the hell were you?" She hissed.
"Melarisa..."
"Melarisa's dead." She told him bluntly and took a step back.
In all this time Edward was still under Jane's 'spell' while Bella now being restrained by Demetri shouted and pleaded for her to stop.
"Jane." Aro said.
"Master?" The blond asked releasing Edward from her hold.
"Go ahead my dear."
Her gaze turned to Bella. "This gaze may hurt just a little." She said.
Rizza watched with wide eyes as Bella…
Just stood there.
Jane's little sadistic smile turned into a frown as her powers didn't work.
Rizza's mouth turned up into a smirk.
Aro started to laugh. Loudly. Creepily…
"Remarkable! She propounds us all….so, what to do with you now?" He asked.
"You already know that you're going to do Aro." Marcus whispered.
"She knows too much." Caius said. "She's a liability."
Aro sighed. "That's true…..Felix."
Edward was up in a flash pushing her behind him and charged at Felix.
Alice moved but Demetri caught her.
Rizza sped as well but Alec caught her and clasped her throat, as he squeezed the sunglasses came off and her pupils started to dilate.
"Do not let her make eye-contact." Aro ordered softly in their direction and Alec jerked her head forward none to gently and held her throat tighter to stop her from looking up.
He cringed the barest bit as he felt her marble like skin slightly crack at his grip so he loosened it.
"Son of a bitch…" She muttered.
He chuckled. "Same old Melarisa."
"Melarisa's dead." She told him again. "A century passes very slowly and people change when they can't remember part of their human lifetime." She snarled.
Her eyes widened as Felix defeated Edward making him kneel in front of the Volturi about to rip his head off.
"PLEASE! DON'T! NO! PLEASE! PLEASE!" Bella screamed. "Kill me! Kill me! Not him!"
Aro turned to her and began to walk towards the human. "How extraordinary. You would give up your life for someone like us?" Aro asked. "A vampire…a soulless monster?"
"Y-You don't know…a thing about, his soul."
She couldn't help it her eyes darted up to find him already looking down. It didn't even occur to her to use her ability at that point. Their eye contact did not go unnoticed but it did go unaddressed.
Aro spoke slowly in a language that was not Italian and Rizza thought maybe it was Latin. "This is a sadness." He said after a few more moments.
He looked at Edward. "If only for your intention to give her immortality." He went to strike.
"Wait!" Alice shouted. "Bella will be one of us." She told him quickly. "I've seen it. I'll change her myself."
Aro turned to her and held out his hand, Demetri let her go and she walked to him taking off on of her leather clothes and giving him her hand.
"Memorizing….to see what you have seen. Before it has happened." He said softly.
He went back to Bella and ran a hand down her face. "You're gifts…will make for an intriguing immortal…Isabella…" He turned away. "Go now!" He said and Felix released Edward the same time Alec (reluctantly) let Rizza got who instantly picked up her sunglasses that thankfully hadn't broken and placed them on before joining her siblings and Bella.
"Let us be done with this." Marcus whispered standing up. "Heidi will arrive any minute….thank you for your visit." He told them softly.
"And we would advise that you follow through on your promise soon… the Volturi do not offer second chances."
They turned instantly to leave. "Goodbye my young friends!" Aro said and Rizza looked back briefly to find Alec watching her ever move.
She blinked once and turned back and followed her siblings and Demetri who was assorting them out the door.
"He's mourned for you for nearly a century." Demetri told her.
"Go to hell." She replied.
They passed an alluringly beautiful woman; even for a vampire who led in a group of tourists. "Nice fishing Heidi."
"Yes they do look rather juicy." She replied to the tracker.
"Save some for me." He told her in passing.
They hadn't fully made it out when the screaming started and Bella stopped.
"Don't look back." Rizza told her as Edward and Alice pushed her along.
-FORKS WASHINGTON-
Rizza sat in her room in Forks journals thrown all over her room, pictures she'd drawn ripped off the walls, her hands clutching her head.
Those holes in her memory were now slowly being filled up, Alec, Demetri, a mission, New Orleans, a rogue, killing, her father's speakeasy, party, meeting, infatuation, discovery, kiss, conversations, promises, his departure, his oath to return….
Then nothing, she still couldn't remember how she'd ended up a vampire and right now she was pretty sure Alec didn't turn her, Carlisle didn't either…
So who the fuck did?
Years of rebuilding herself, trying to convince herself not remembering those pieces of her human life didn't matter….Alice couldn't remember any of hers right…? Well all that trying was destroyed by that stupid boy.
That stupid, totally hot, powerful, vampire boy who swore he'd return when she was sixteen and turn her all those years ago…
Focus Rizza.
He was apart of you're life then.
He's after practically ruining it now….
Jasper knocked twice on her bedroom door. "It's time."
She joined the family downstairs as Bella addressed the Cullen's.
"You all know what I want. And I know how much I'm asking for. The only thing I can think of for it to be fair...is to just vote."
"Bella you don't know what you're talking about…"
"Just…shut up…" She told him quickly. "Alice?" Bella asked first.
"I already consider you my sister!" She exclaimed walking over Bella and hugging her. "Yes!"
"Thank you."
"I vote yes." Jasper said instantly. "It would be nice…not to kill you all the time."
"Huh…" Bella nodded.
"I'm sorry." Rosalie said. "I'm really sorry to both of you about how I've acted and I'm really grateful that you were brave enough to go and save my brother. But this isn't a life I would have chosen for myself." Rosalie told her. "And I wish that there would have been someone to vote no for me." She explained. "So no."
"I vote hell yeah!" Emmett said walking over to Bella lifting her up and spinning her around. "So we can pick a fight with the Volturi some other way!" He grinned as he let her go.
"I already consider you apart of the family. So; yes." Esme smiled.
"Why are you doing this to me? You know what this means." Edward spoke softly from the stairs.
"You chose not to live without her." Carlisle told him. "Which leaves me no choice. I won't lose my son." He said.
Rizza walked toward her. "Due to recent events…I now know I was once in your shoes and I still don't know what happened but I do know I missed out on the chance to be turned by someone who loved me….so I vote yes." She told Bella and they briefly hugged before Rizza disappeared into her room.
For once in her immortal life she wished she could just…sleep.
Sleep; and escape the outside world for just a moment.
Just to forget what a mess her life had become in the space of three days…
Not much Alec here but maybe next chapter I'll do a flashback?
Tell me what you think!
