Bella

I've been here in Volterra for the last five days. Aro bit me yesterday and I am currently feeling nothing. The pain was awful for that day, but it only lasted for the first twelve hours and then the burning suddenly stopped. Since then I have been waiting for Aro to return.

It felt like I had been waiting forever when the door swung open. In swept a very angry and confused Aro. When he spotted me on the bed he calmed down visibly.

"Can you unchain me?" I asked.

"Do you feel nothing?" he asked.

"Nothing at all. Can you unchain me now? The change is done right?" I asked again.

"That's just it. It shouldn't be. Right now you should be at the height of your pain as the venom starts to stop your heart, but it hasn't stopped your heart. I can hear it. It's slow, but it's there," then he stopped suddenly.

"What?" I asked.

"You're pregnant?"

"I am?"

"Why wouldn't you have informed us of your pregnancy?"

"Because I'm not. You are mistaken. Do you seriously think that I would have allowed you to bite me and put a child's life in danger!"

"I hear it. I hear your heartbeat slow, weak, and steady. So slow in fact it's almost not there and then I here two other strong, erratic heartbeats from your direction which could only mean that you are pregnant and somehow it has effected your change. Who is the father? Is it that hormonal son of Carlisle?"

"No I never slept with Edward."

"Obviously the father couldn't be human because if he had then the venom would have killed them instantly. Who and what is the father? Answer me!"

"His name is Jacob."

"What is he?"

"A shape shifter. A wolf."

"Curious," he said turning to leave the room.

"Wait! Aren't you going to unchain me?"

"I have to have a discussion about this with the others to see how we should handle this. "

With that he left me in the room alone again. I laid on the bed and pulled at the chains again, but they wouldn't budge. About an hour later Aro returned with Renata, Felix, Caius, and Marcus in tow. He stepped forward and he looked at her sorrowfully.

"We have made the decision that we cannot allow you to give birth to whatever it is inside of you. We are going to have to dispose of both you and your babies. Felix," Aro said and Felix stepped forward.

"It's a shame that you have to die. Such a beautiful girl," he said as he stepped forward. I could see the venom glistening on his teeth.

"Stop!" I yelled, "Don't do this!"

Felix seemed to stop abruptly. Aro stepped forward and asked him what he thought he was doing, but Felix ignored him staring directly at me. His eyes seemed glazed over and he seemed as if he was waiting for me to say something else.

A thought came to me and I decided to test my theory. "Unchain me." I ordered him.

Felix was instantly at my side breaking the chains and releasing me. I was out the bed as soon as I was released.

"What the hell?" Caius growled and he stepped forward as if to attack me. Instantly Felix was crouched in front of me as if to protect me.

"What is going on?" Aro asked.

"It seems that she is controlling him. Manipulating his mind in some manner. As it seems she is much more powerful than we realized. She is a danger to us. It seems that we are going to need more than Felix to dispose of her," Marcus said.

"Wait no!" I said. "I don't want to hurt anybody. I am willing to honor the deal I made with Aro. I will serve you for the next seventy-five years. I don't want to die. I just want you to leave my child be."

"Children," Marcus said.

"What?" I asked.

"There are two," Marcus informed me.

"Fine children," I said, "I will agree to serve unconditionally if you allow my children to live in peace."

They all looked at each other and seem to be having a silent conversation. Then Caius stepped forward, "Fine we will allow you and your children to live currently and you will serve us as agreed, but if you children turn out to be a danger to us then we reserve the right to reexamine this decision. Now release Felix of your hold."

I wasn't sure how to release him so I concentrated on returning him his free will and it seemed to work. He came out of his daze confused and Aro explained to him that I had been spared and am to go into training as soon as I gave birth.

Five Years Later

I gave birth to the twins not long after the incident. They were a boy and a girl. I named then Alice Marie and Jacob Charlie Volturi, choosing to name them after the two most important people on my life and Aro insisted they take Volturi as a last name. We have lived comfortably with the Volturi for the last five years, and I have served loyally as agreed.

During my training we discovered what my powers truly were. I had the power to manipulate the mind. I could force someone into servitude, change a thought or memory, or make you forget something completely. I could also shift though past thoughts or memories much like Aro although I didn't have to be touching you and a mental shield couldn't keep me out. I am also a mental shield. Aro finds me to be extremely valuable in battle and sends me on many search and destroy missions with Jane, Alec, and Demetri. Jacob and Alice are wolves as we suspected they would be, both shifting for the first time at three and although Jacob has shown no signs of a mental ability Alice can call forth and manipulate fire. A skill that as soon as it was discovered she was instantly put into training to control because of the danger it posed to our current company.

They seemed to enjoy it in the castle probably because they were spoiled rotten by everyone within the castle. Even Caius is wrapped around their pinky finger ironically since I have heard of his distinct dislike for wolves, although it's probably different with them since they are shifters and not actual Children of the Moon. The most surprising thing I discovered since are stay here is that apparently according to Marcus Jane is Alice's mate. My daughter not Cullen. When I first found out I was deadest on that not happening, vowing to kill Jane myself, but after seeing how happy my daughter seems to be around her I reluctantly allowed the relationship to go on. Though I did promise Jane that if she tried anything before Alice turned fifteen, I wouldn't hesitate to carry out my previous sentence and after she promised she wouldn't we formed a tentative friendship. She was the one who gave me the name that I currently go by now. Izzy, because she says Bella sounds too sweet to strike fear into a person as an enforcer of the Volturi should and I absolutely refused to be called Isabella.

Marcus also informed me that Alice, not Edward was my mate. And Aro promised be that due to my diligent service that today he would allow me to take Jane, Demetri, Alice, and Jacob to go search her out and bring her back with me. I am extremely excited since it has been more than six years since I have laid eyes on the love of my life and I can't wait to have her in my arms again.

A/N: So I have finally pushed my way through Bella's point of view and you now know why Alice was unable to see Bella although some probably didn't get it since I never actually came out and said it. So I am going to spell it out here. Jacob and Bella slept together on Valentine's Day and Bella got pregnant. Which is why Alice hadn't had a vision of her since February, even when she wasn't with Jacob.
