Chapter 3

The Mission

Bella's POV

3 days had passed since my surprise party. Today Aro's sending me on a mission. He said something about reminding a coven of vampires in Paris that we'll be watching them.

I'm heading to the throne room to tell Aro that we're ready to go. I wasn't actually required to go to the throne room to tell them that we're leaving, but Aro insisted that I must inform him and kiss him goodbye before I go.

As I opened the door, surprisingly I see him reading a book on his throne. I didn't care about the title of book, so I just greeted him.

"Hello father"

"My dear Isabella, I assume that you're already leaving?" I flinched as he called my whole name, I nodded.

"I see. Jane, Felix, Demetri." He gestured them to come, then suddenly the 3 of them were already at my side. He continued " I supposed that the 4 of you must leave now."

"Kay, were leaving." I said and turned around to head for the doors.

"No wait!" Athenodora insisted.

"Mom!" I yelled and turned around to face them again, but this time with an annoyed expression on my face.

"What? I just want to hug and kiss you goodbye. Oh and before I forget, you must change your appearance for your protection" she hugged me so tight and she kissed me goodbye.

"Oh can I hug my lovely daughter?" he didn't wait for my response he directly hugged me then released after a second or two.

"Come on, father I needed to go" Aro rolled his eyes the moment I said that.

"Be safe my dear" Marcus said.

"We will be waiting for you, Sabel" Caius said

"Well, we be better go now" I said.

Then the 4 of us, Jane, Felix, Demetri headed to the door and dashed to Paris where the new coven of vampires will be waiting.

Aro had warned us about the vampires that will be waiting for us.

The coven which will be waiting for us, are different from ours because they hunt animals instead of humans.

They called themselves 'vegetarians'. All of them have golden eyes because of their lifestyle. Commonly the vampire that hunts human and drinks their blood have bloody-red eyes like mine.

Carlisle Cullen, the leader of the group, has been with the Volturi's on his first year of his vampire life but then he left. He has blond hair. He's a doctor to humans. How ironic, isn't it? Next was his mate, Esme Cullen. She has honey colored hair.

After her was a woman named Rosalie Cullen. She's a blond and utterly beautiful than a normal vampire but Aro told me that I'm more beautiful than her, I believed him there. Then her mate, Emmett Cullen. He has a firm, muscled, and large body and he's a dark haired man.

Next was a girl, her name was Alice Cullen. She's a psychic and has a short dark black spiky hair. Then her mate, Jasper Cullen, a blond man, he's known for being the leader of the newborns in Maria's army and he has a gift of controlling emotions.

And finally the last one, Edward Cullen. He's handsome, based on Aro's description, but he has a bronze hair and he's a mind reader. Aro had told me that he's my mate, but I didn't believe him because he said that on a teasing tone which I replied to by giving him my signature deathly glare.

Edward's POV

It's been 5 days since we arrived here at Paris. Alice then saw a vision that the Volturi planned to visit us today. Carlisle explain us that every time the new coven of vampires moves here in Europe they visit them just to warn them that they will be watching us. That day is today. I heard jasper complained through his mind

Ugh! The entire family is been worrying about the Volturi! I can't take this anymore!

I have to admit that he was right. These past few days, the house was full of tension and everyone is so worried.

Suddenly Alice said. "They will be here in 5 minutes"

"I think it's better if we go to the garden to meet them" Carlisle said

We all agreed because he's the one who knows how this can be done without harm.

5 minutes is like hours, but then they appeared. They arrived in pageantry, they loosen their hoods for us to see their faces but the girl in the middle remained her hood in her head.

I supposed the man on the left is Demetri, next to him was Jane then the mystery girl and Felix. I was lost in my thoughts then I feel something different … huh? It's unusual I can't read their thoughts! I saw the mystery girl smirk.

Bella's POV

We already arrived where they leave. I follow Athenodora's reminder to me, I changed my appearance.

We found them at their garden, I supposed. I shielded Jane, Demetri and Felix to avoid the mind reader to read their thoughts. They formed in a loose semi- circle. Jane, Demetri and Felix let their hood to fell down to their shoulders but I remained mine. Then I heard the mind reader thought

huh? That's unusual I can't read their thoughts!

I smirked at him.

Then I supposed the first man who spoke is Carlisle because he has the blond hair that Aro had described to me.

"May I ask, what brought you here to visit us?" he asked. As if he doesn't know our goal here!

Jane was the one who answer "Carlisle, procedures you know. You must know it! Because you've been with the Volturi's too!"

"We just want to warn all of you that we will be watching all your actions here" Felix said

"We all know that! You don't need to remind us!" the other blond man said, Jasper.

"All the wrong actions you will do deserves consequences." Demetri said

"I think you're all looking for a fight" the large dark haired man said, Emmett. He was about to leap at Demetri but then I said

"Enough!" He suddenly stopped.

All the Cullens turned to look at me.

I finally loosened my hood, and it fell down at my back then they all gasped.

I already expected their reactions but one that caught my attention was the thought of the little pixie, Alice.

Hmmm.. I think I've missed something. I think I've smelled her scent before but I don't know when or who it was.

I imitated Jane's gift, which I used it on Demetri.

I stared at him then he screamed in pain. They all looked at Jane who's looking at them with innocent eyes. I guess they know that only Jane could do that. But then they all looked at Felix but they saw nothing then finally, their eyes laid on mine. I think Demetri already learned his lesson so I stopped the pain.

"God Isa! You almost killed me!" he muttered breathlessly gasping for air.

"Go apologize to them!" I said

"No! I wouldn't! why should I?!" I raised an eyebrow at him, then he finally got the message of it.

"I'm sorry. I just really want a fight, it's been so long since we've been on a fight" he said. His voice was apologetic

"We're sorry too, about how Emmett reacted" Carlisle said

"It's nothing, I guess he was just carried away by how Demetri acted." I said.

Then, finally I looked at the mysterious man that intrigued me the most, because of Aro's description of him, Edward. I now finally realized that he's handsome like Aro had said. Then he stared back, as if he was seeing my soul. Then Jane cleared her throat and said with a sigh,

"I think our business here is already done, but pay attention to what we remind you, we mean it. Right Isa?" raised her eyebrow at me, it make me stutter but I recovered after my first word.

"Y-yes our business here is already done."

They all nodded

"We'll be leaving now" Felix said looking at me with a teasing look.

Then we all disappeared. God! I'm so embarrassed for the way I stared at him!

Jane, Felix and Demetri turned to see me, they saw the worried face of mine, as if they could read my thoughts, they all laugh the same time.

I growled at them.

"Come on, baby! I think you finally found your mate" Felix said teasingly.

"Whatever" I said then continue "Tell Aro, I would do some hunting today"

"Okay." Jane said.

Then I straightly ran to the forests. Instead of hunting i just ran and ran, until I found some place to sit on and let my thoughts absorb me.

Edward's POV

After the Volturi's left, I was confused about the girl who can shield and imitate Jane's gift named Sabel. She intrigued me and my family. I think I already met her before but I don't know where and when. I was lost in my thoughts but Emmett was already laughing as he saw my puzzled and stunned face, then said.

"Come on Eddie! You're completely lost in your thoughts"

"Come on, let's head back to the house" Esme said

"Esme, I think I needed to hunt" I said

"But your eyes were still gold?" Alice said

"Come on Alice, let him hunt" Esme said. I nodded

"But come back sooner though, we needed to discuss something" Carlisle said

Then I hurriedly rushed at the forest. I don't know why I need to hunt today, something had just said to my mind that I needed to go like someone was waiting for my presence.

I ran and ran until I smelled the familiar scent of someone I know but I forgot who it was, then I heard a silent sobs. I turned to the direction where it came from. Then I was surprised to see who it was. I didn't notice that my feet were moving, until I was behind her.
