Isabella's POV
Flashback: 1755
Dear Isabella,
You seem different. Is everything alright?
It's strange. The way you write now. I've known you for years Isa... Is everything alright? Do not worry about me. I'm fine. The war is fine. Just talk to me.
Elijah

I haven't told my brother about mother's death. I knew that the vampire would be back for me later, though I didn't stay at my house. I buried my mother in the backyard, telling the town she has left to extended family members. I stayed with the major, wanting to stay away from the house. That was a year ago.
If the vampire were to come back, I'm sure he would be after me. I had escaped him. He probably wouldn't want me to exploit his secret. However, I wouldn't run around the house screaming vampires existed, I would be hanged.
As of right now, I was reading many myth books on the supernatural. Whether they were true or not, there was many folklore about them. I have already seen the vampire in action, so I believed the books. Now, I just wanted to find the vampire that had killed my mother. He would be around later, I was sure. Now I just had to wait.
I was walking through my little town. Men would try to get me to love them, though I was hardly interested. I used to them bowing down at me, taking off their hats as a sign of respect. Their fathers would talk to my mother, in trying to marriage me with their son. One time, I was close to falling in love with a man. Though he wasn't exactly the nicest person behind doors. He was another person and I told my mother who gladly kicked him out.
"Isabella." I heard a man say.
"Hello." I said. The man was tall and lean. Though it seemed like he had a hard body as he stood. His eyes were blue, though there was something in them that were different. He had frosted brown and blonde hair and extremely pale skin.
"It's nice to know the Isabella that the town is talking about."
"And why would the town be talking about me?" I asked.
"Ah, the beautiful Isabella who has every single man on their knees. She's strong, very independent, she helps others. She's caring..." He said.
"And you are?" I asked.
"Demetri." He bowed down and kissed my hand. He was wearing black gloves, actually black everything. He was beautiful with his pale skin.
"Well, Demetri, it is a pleasure to meet you." I said. "But I must be on my way now."
"I hope to see you again." He said.
I nodded and walked away. Many women were standing around, looking at Demetri. He was handsome, beautiful. Maybe even my type. I walked straight to my house and started to write my letter.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Dear Elijah,
Everything is not alright. Mother... she is dead. Please, believe me when I say this. You may think that I'm crazy, however, I am not.
Mother's death wasn't an accident, not natural. There was this man. He was drinking her blood, a vampire? Do they actually exist brother? Vampires. I don't know what to do. I know he'll be back.
Please, write back as soon as you get this.
Isabella
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
I walked straight to the town hall to send off my letter. I did not acknowledge anybody and kept my head low. After I sent off the letter, I turned around to see Demetri walking in.
"Hello, Isabella." He said.
"Demetri." I said, giving a small bow.
"Is everything alright?"
"Yes, I am fine, thank you for asking." I said. "Excuse me."
I quickly walked off, having a feeling that Demetri was bad news. My instincts told me to stay away from him, though I didn't know if I could. There was also something that intrigued me to him.
End of Flashback
"What happened after that?" Emmett asked.
"I was an idiot." I admitted. "I didn't go with my first instinct. I fell in love with him, though it was fake for me. I knew something was wrong with him, the moment we met. But I made a mistake... of him falling in love with me. He always wanted me."
Flashback
"Isabella..." Demetri said. He had a letter in his hand. It's been four months since I've received any type of letter from Elijah. Four months since I have been with Demetri.
My eyes glistened as I saw the letter in his hands. Then I remembered what I had written from the last one. I once never hinted to Demetri about the vampire I've seen. I didn't want to lose his love. I've kept it quiet from him.
"Thank you love." I said.
He leaned down and pressed his cold lips to mine.
.-.-.-.-..-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Dear Isabella,
I know. I've seen some things. Things I never thought were imaginable. I never told you this because I was afraid of the same thing your feeling- scared and crazy.
Vampires are real Isabella. And, assuming mother's death, it's how she died. Stay clear away from them. They stay away from the sun, come out at night. Stay with someone at all times.
I'll be home soon, to get you away from the madness. I'm sure you and I will go some place nice and quiet. I love you my sister.
Elijah
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
I immediately ran to burn the letter in the fireplace. If my assumptions were right, Demetri was a vampire. People have gone missing the day he came, four months of people gone.
I never said anything about it to him, keeping a secret. Though I knew I would have to break it off with him.
Today would be the day.
End of Flashback
"What happened when you told him?" Edward asked.
"He uh... he got upset. He tried to kill me, of course. That's the whole reason why he was there, to kill me. Though he didn't because he fell in love with me. When I told him I never had any type of love for him, he lost it."
Flashback
"Demetri, why are you really here with me?"
"I'm sorry?"
"I know... about vampires. About you." I said. "Your kind killed my mother. And I escaped. I'm sure whoever was here wants me dead."
"You don't know anything." He growled.
"I know that you're a disgusting parasite. Things that kill people for blood. Stay away from me."
I turned around and he was standing in front of me, growling.
"No." He said. "We're doing this my way."
He threw me across the room, my back hitting a wall. A scream tore through my throat, however, he stopped me by covering my mouth.
"I was never going to hurt you Isabella. I was going to keep you safe from the man that killed your mother... However, you threatened me, told me that I was disgusting. It's what our kind does, to live, to be strong. If you think we're so disgusting, let's see how you feel. Now I'm going to hurt you." He said. "I'm going to turn you into something you hate. It's the worst punishment of all."
End of Flashback
"And that's when he bit me." I said. "Demetri is my maker. He bit me that night, changing me. He took me straight to Italy. Caius, of course, was upset with him, wanted me dead. When I woke up three days later, I immediately killed three guards with my shield, by accident. Aro loved me, my gift. He kept me. And I stayed.
I worked many jobs, killing vampires, letting things consume me. I wasn't my person who I wanted to be. Then I finally went off on my own for the first time... and that was when I met Maria and Jasper."
"What happened to Elijah?" Esme asked.
"Uh... he came home from the war. The entire town knew I was missing at that point. I never saw him again. He died 40 years later. I've tried to write him letters, but I would be caught by Caius, who always threw them away. I never talked to my brother again. Then he died." I said.
"I'm sorry." Emmett said.
I shook my head, trying to hide the tears that would never fall down again. "It's alright. I can't change the past. I just wish things were different." Emmett patted my leg and I only looked away.
I always felt things could be different if I didn't walk in early or Caius arrived in the town that day. I sometimes wished vampires didn't even exist, though they Carlisle even saved people by changing them. Though, I still wish it. It would do the world an entire favor if vampires didn't exist or they switched out their diet.
I was hoping, if I succeed in killing the Volturi, I would rule myself and along with two others of my choice. I would want human blood drinkers change their diet, however, if they are unable to, I would make them kill criminals that have either a death penalty or killed one person or more. Unfornateuly, there were many people out there who were evil other than vampires.
Hopefully my dreams and plans would come true.
As I was in my little fantasy, Emmett moved a piece of my hair away from my happy. He was curious, so I only shook my head no, indicating that I would tell him later.
We settled on the topic of my life. I told the Cullens the truth about my house that I run with Demetri. Carlisle was the most amazed and wanted to meet the family if I gave him the chance. Edward and Jasper had a little hint of interest and I told them they would all be able to go to Shelton sometime soon, really for the fight.
Once I have enough people go to build the army I want, they would all arrive in Oregon and Idaho before coming straight into Washington. I want to keep a low profile so they wouldn't suspect anything. As much as Aro "loves" me, I'm sure he wouldn't mind me having a small "meeting" with all the other vampires, something that I've done before (which wasn't a meeting to kill the Volturi).
I remember back to the first day I awakened in Volterra.
Flashback
I continued to count the minutes as the fire reached the end of the burning. I let out one last scream before it finally stopped. In the last 72 hours, I remember being carried around then yelling about me.
I finally opened my eyes to an entire new world. I saw the lines of fabric, the dust particles floating in the air, and the small bugs that lie on the carpet.
There were three vampires staring at me, like I was a freak. Then I remembered everything that has happened. I was a vampire. Something that I have hated since I have found out. Then I saw him... Demetri.
I sprinted towards him and tackled him down. With my new newborn strength and ripped off one of his arms. Felix and Jane had to take me down until two others vampires came sprinting towards me. I felt unprotected in a split second and wished for an invisible wall to appear. Once I did, the two unknown vampires quickly turned into a pile of dust. Jane immediately yelled for them to stay away from me.
I, however, was still laying on top of Demetri, pinning him to the floor, growling. The three "kings" came running in afterwards. What stopped my anger was Aro smiling at me, like I was his prize. However, Caius was the opposite.
"Why have you turned her?" He asked. "I told you to get rid of her."
"Things change." Demetri said.
"Oh, it doesn't matter. I am curious to see what her gift is. She didn't even touch them... She's strong, reliable, brother. We need her." Aro said.
Marcus nodded with Aro and looked at me. "Maybe the strongest guard ever."
Aro smiled at me and raised out his hand.
Three weeks later, I was running errands for him.
"Isabella." Aro said, with his usual smile on. I had just came from Australia, looking for a man who had killed many humans and wasn't being secretive about it.
Since Aro wanted me to express my gift for killings, I had to be the one to get rid of him. Usually, I get rid of them.
"Isabella." Aro said again, kissing my cheek this time. "I suppose the fight went well."
"Yes." I said.
"Good." He said, smiling again. I nodded and made my way to my personal room.
All the others would avoid me, because once they entered my bad side, I was bound to kill them, even if I wasn't allowed. Demetri was able to keep himself alive by avoiding me for a long time, though I hid his arm away from him until someone found it. Even Caius was a little afraid of me. He would always wince when I was upset, or sit back in his chair. Even though Caius did not want me here, he knew I of good use.
I walked to my room and hung of the grey robe I was accustomed to wear. I merely sat on my bed and laid down, feeling sad that I was no longer tired. Yes, we vampires can sleep, but we don't get tired. We could stay awake for as long as we want, sleeping is just an option. Most vampires sleep to past the time of the night and early morning, as would I.
I would always get lonely, no matter how many people I was around. I missed my mother... my brother... I just wanted to be around anybody related to me, sadly it was no longer the case. The Volturi own me and I could do nothing about it.
End of Flashback
"Isabella..." Emmett said. We were sitting in the car, in front of the Cullens' house. I guess I wasn't paying attention to anything for a while. The entire family was already out of the car and in the house.
"Yes?"
"We're home." He said. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah... I just get lost in the past... sometimes." I said. "I'm fine."
He nodded and walked me to the house. I went upstairs and stripped out of my dress. Emmett stood behind me and kissed my neck. I knew he was worried about me, he always was.
"You have no idea how much I love you." He said.
I smiled and looked at his arms that we wrapped around my waist. "I might have a clue."
"Tease." He mumbled.
I smile and settled down in my bed. I sighed and rolled to my side to watch Emmett change out of his outfit. Emmett has been the only good thing that has truly happened to me. If Rosalie and Emmett never separated, I would be at a loss.
Suddenly my phone started to blare that annoying ringtone Emmett decides to change everyday. He was going to pay for that... He knew I hated it, yet he wouldn't quit.
"Ha ha." I said as he was laughing. It was Dominic.
"Hello?"
"Isabella, it's Dominic. We have a small problem." He said. "The Volturi came here, they're looking for you. They know... about you wanting to kill them. The guys and I were able to clear out the house before they were even close to us. They're headed your way. You need to clear out the house with the Cullens. You know where the emergency house is, we are all there including the wolves. Leave quickly and get here quickly. I don't know how much time you have. But they're close. Love you Bell."
"Love you." I whispered back.
The phone dropped from my hands without hanging up. Emmett heard the conversation and was already running around the house yelling at his family to pack up. I dove under the bed and grabbed my bag. There was a small hidden compartment for the things that were needed to get in the house that was in Tristan da Cunha. It was one of the most secluded places in the world. We had a house out there, for problems like these. I was amazed that Dominic was able to gather all the girls and the pack and get away from the Volturi.
I ran out of the room to see the Cullens looking confused and scared.
"Go to the car, all of you." I said. "One car."
I ran around the house, grabbing anything the Cullens would miss. Luckily, it wasn't much.
I ran outside to the car, while Emmett took the wheel. I hopped into the car, putting my shield around the car. Emmett and I glanced at each other before he slammed on the gas pedal.
However, we didn't make it far.
The Volturi stood right in front of the car, angry as can be.
I'm baccccckkkkk! Things are going to start slowing down because I have band camp and then school is starting in a week. That's why it took so long.
Yes the Volturi now know and are angry.
Hehehe cliffhanger.
Stay tuned for next chapter. :)
And thank you for all the people who favor me or the story and review. It makes me very happy.
