Echoes of footsteps dominate the once quiet, narrow halls as the guards step aside for someone. Some even bow to him; no one makes a sound, wanting to stay invisible to his red irises, though they know it doesn't matter. Aro, one of the three rulers of the Volturi, seemed the most generous of the three men, though people knew he was anything but pleasant and that his smile was just a ruse to hide his sick, twisted mind. A sharp turn down the hall started to show the age of the castle and stains no one would mistake for anything else but blood; two cells were the only things in the room, including two bodies strung up. Many would mistake them for dead with how still and thin they were; their clothes were just rags at this point after decades of them clawing at themselves. No one knows how long these two have been down here in the dungeons; only a handful of vampires know about them.

Two vampires too weak to move were strung up and subjected to torture. The walls held many blood splatters, and many bones covered the floor. A look of disgust showed on Aro's face. "It could end all the pain if you just obey me and quit being defiant." Aro was met with silence. "Fine, then Jane, you know what's required." Her small frame came into the light looking almost like a child, but with bright red eyes that didn't fit her face. A slight nod to her master was all it took for the hall to be filled with broken screams. The ruler of vampires was not in a patient mood anymore, and with a twist of his arm, he was gone. He thought of what else to do to get what he wanted, not caring about having to use worse tactics to get what he desired, which were two very special vampires with gifts he would love to have power over.


Bella's Pov

Searing pain shoots through me like fire crawling up from my bare feet all the way to my head. What felt like years of pain soon ended, and Jane was gone. Memories flooded my mind as my lungs ached and begged for air they didn't need. The heavy air filled with blood wafted around burning my throat with unquenchable thirst, knowing I wouldn't be allowed a single drop of blood to drink. The smell of wet wood and sundew reminds me of him and how he was so close to me but so far away that I could never touch him to feel the spark I once felt many centuries ago. The scent of him took me back to the 'us' before all the ridiculous power struggles when we were just simple humans meeting each other for the first time.

Flashback

The forest in the park was always my favorite place to be because of how quiet and isolated it was ever since I found this beautiful meadow years ago, I've barely seen anyone pass through., I was shocked to see someone sitting in the clearing by themselves with a notebook in their hands. From what I could tell as I walked through the trees closest to the clearing, he seemed to be a man, young, maybe about seventeen the fine age in our society to be either betrothed or married. The way he sat made him seem tall with one of his legs outstretched and the other folded beneath it, and his short brown hair almost waved in the wind, showing hidden red when the sun shinned on his hair. The man was faced the opposite direction so I couldn't see his face well, but I could tell from here he was beautiful. I debated just going back home or just staying, but the choice was made for me as my foot hooked onto a tree root that had lifted out of the dirt and sent me sprawled out onto the ground. I quickly looked back up to see if the man had noticed just in time to see with turn towards me and jump to his feet.

A gasp left me over how utterly perfect he looked, even from all the way over there. The man jumped up from his spot having an almost grace to him while hurrying to help me up. "Are you alright?" he asked reaching his hand down to help me off the ground. humor, but his smooth voice held worry when he looked at me, which made me blush red."Yeah, I just tripped over a root," I explain as I hold his hand getting to my feet, "not looking where I was going." I let loose a little laugh, staring at a blade of grass, too shy to keep looking at him. "I hope I didn't disturb you. I apologize if I did." Feeling his gaze on me, I try to rack my brain for something to say.
"Would you like to join me?" The request takes me off guard and makes me look up at him, hoping it doesn't show on my face how surprised I am. "That would be great!" I stifled a groan, hoping he doesn't see me as crazy or desperate. The sound of him laughing breaks me out of my thoughts. "My name is Edward Mason. Would you be as kind as to share your name? Beautiful?" I try to keep my head down to hide my blush from him. "It's Isabella Swan, but I go by Bella."

Again all mistakes are mine and the program lol but I hope you guys liked the first chapter so far there is more to come I promise X) Neko is out.
