Chapter 5

Question that confuses me the most

Edward's POV

On my way back home. I saw Alice bouncing at her feet; I know why she acted like that. But I ignored her and walked straightly to Carlisle's office to ask him the question which confused me the most.

Once I was in his office, I saw him reading a thick biology book until he realized I was standing in his door.

He gestured me to sit on the chair close to him. He noticed the puzzled face of mine, he sighed and thought.

I know about what bothering you, it's the girl in the Volturi, isn't it?

I nodded instead of speaking because I had 2 reasons. First, I didn't trust my voice on how it will sound and Second, I don't the others to hear our conversation.

"Carlisle, I want to ask something"

"What would that be?" he asked

I took a deep breath and collected all my courage then sighed "I want to know, could it be possible for a vampire to have another mate since the other died?"

"Well, I don't know the answer for sure because I haven't experienced it before. But when I was with the Volturi I asked that question to Marcus. He told me that the love they felt for one another is so strong, no one can break it, not even Chelsea. They are meant for each other and bound for one another, once a vampire found his mate it's neither can be changed nor force to love someone else. But the decision implies to the both mate, they can choose either to be with their mate or to leave him but the consequence remains, the both of them will suffer all the time. But of course Marcus wasn't sure about one thing..." he trailed of.

He looked into my eyes and continued "He's not sure about having two mates in your existence because you're committed to your true mate and you shall serve her for the rest of your existence."

"By the way, why did you ask this question?" he asked confusedly

"I kind of... feel something about Isa" I confessed

"Oh that Isa would be the girl with the Volturi?" he guessed

"Yes, I was hunting when I heard someone crying so I decided to find who it was. I was shocked to see her and she had tears in her eyes. We started talking. I felt comfortable with her, it's like I've known her for years, but I realized something was different when she touched me, I felt the electric shock I always felt when Bella-" I broke at her name but then continued anyway. "Touched me. It makes me confuse about my feelings towards her. Then I doubt my feeling for Bella, we all know that she's my mate from the very first time cause her blood sings for me. But Carlisle maybe Isa is also my mate."

Carlisle gasped and narrowed his eyes. I know the others were listening because I also heard their gasp.

"I'm not sure Edward. I only know that we- us vampires have only 1 mate but maybe Bella is not truly your mate, what if were all wrong with the way we thought of her or what if you're wrong about Isa from the very first start. Edward you're the only one who can figure this out." he tapped my shoulder and thought

We will have a meeting right now, I know the others were listening about our conversation and maybe this is the time to talk about what happened last afternoon. See you in the meeting room

He already vanished and I heard him.

"Come on everyone, Family meeting"

Bella's POV

I didn't ran nor walk. I just use my gift of teleportation then suddenly I was on the castle's front door. I walked silently at the corridors and debating with myself on whether to ask Marcus about what was bothering me or not. But the voice inside me told me to, so instead of going to the throne room I decided to go to the library for sure this is the place where Marcus would love to spend his night.

As I opened the library's door I found Marcus in the middle of the long wooden table so I approach him quietly.

"Oh dear Isa, What I can do for you?" he asked

"I just want to ask you something about…" before I continued I wrapped my shield around him so that no one can hear our conversation. "The mate thing" I heard he gasped and gesture me to sit on the chair across him. As I sat, I saw him took a deep breath before started talking.

"I know this day would come someday and I'm not surprise, I expect this a while ago before you leave for the mission." He trailed of and look away before continuing "I know, you might be surprise that I already know what was running off to your mind as you seat across me." I nodded

"You see, having a mate as a vampire is common, you don't need to be embarrassed about that" I blushed like a tomato and he chuckled.

So he already know about what was happening on my mind and he just encouraged me to ask it

"Well, I felt something different for a guy whom I just met on the mission last afternoon" I said shyly

"And this guy is... Edward Cullen?" as I'm so embarrassed about this I just simply nod because I trust Marcus on not telling this to anyone specially Aro.

"You must be happy, At last you already found your mate" he said

"No you mistaken my it, this is my real question, what are the feelings that feel for you to know that he or she is already your mate?"

"Let's go to the basic three. First, once your mate touches you, it leaves an electric shock to the both of you, there's a spark in your eyes every time you stared at him."

Oh my… it's going to be worse to the Second I think.

"Second, you always think of him, smiling without any reason except thinking about him." I saw him smirk and continued

"And Third, you can't leave him forever, I mean you can choose about the two options whether to leave him or not. But if you chose the latter, there's a consequence."

"What consequence would that be?"

"To suffer every time"

"What would be the feeling of that?"

"Tearing your heart into shreds, and you will feel empty like there's no reason for you to live." He sigh and eyeing me because for sure he saw my frightened face.

"Thank you Uncle. It's really a big help." I hugged him then pull away

"But my dear Isa, Just be careful with your heart, don't let that man tear your heart into shreds and dump you like a waste."

"Of Course uncle, I won't let him do that to me." I said

"Or else I will punish him and let him suffer from what he did to you."

As I about to open the door I let my shield at Marcus to fade and he said

"And one more thing, 'Follow you heart but bring with you your mind'" he quote

And I go straightly to the throne room. For sure, Aro had already known that I already arrived. As I opened the door I was surprise to see him with coven that I didn't meet before. Composed of a dark haired man and woman and three strawberry blond girls. And I apologized quickly

"Oh Father, I'm sorry that I didn't know that you had a guests here. I'm sorry again, and perhaps I may leave now. I come back later again father"

"Oh now my dear Isa, it's okay you may stay here and by the way this is Eleazar and his mate, Carmen. Tanya, Kate and Irina" he gesture to the coven. I went straightly at his side and shook the hand's guest.

"I want to meet all of you my beautiful daughter, Isa" he said like a proud father and I gave him my deathly glare but then look away immediately and said

"Hi I'm Isabella but you can call me Isa or Sabel" I introduced myself

"Aro has been talking about you and he's right about you being beautiful" the dark haired man said, Eleazar

"Thank you." I said blushingly

"Oh, I guess we should leave now. I think we already had enough conversation" One of the strawberry blond girls said.

"Yes, we may leave now" the other blond said

"Take care of yourself and send my regards to Carlisle, my old friend." Aro said "Alec, Demetri escort them until at the door's castle" then they all leave with Alec and Demetri.

"I heard what Marcus says earlier he quote 'Follow you heart but bring with you your mind' what does that mean?" he asked

"Father, I don't want to talk about it" I whined

"I may just ask Marcus about it" he threatened me I glare at him "Come on, I'm your father. I deserve to know it" he said defensively

"Okay,Okay… mmm –its …" he raised his eyebrow at me but before to continue I wrapped my shield around him to protect our conversation from the others "It's about the mate thing" I whispered

He smiled widely "I can't believe this day would come! It's about time my baby had already found his mate!" he said proudly

"Father, it's not that. I just asked him about the feelings-" I was cut by opening of the door and I saw Chelsea walked t my side and apologized quickly

"I'm sorry Master about interrupting you with the conversation with Isa. It's just a phone call for Isa."

"I must answer it. We will talk about this again father" I said as I started to walk towards the lobby of the castle. I had no idea who would call about this late. I mean, it's already 3:00 am says the grandfathers clock at the corner of the lobby. Once we reached the desk. She hurriedly give the phone to me.

"Hello?" I said

"Hi!" the velvet voice on the phone said

I had no idea who is this mystery caller but the voice looks familiar but then I asked

"Who's this?"

"I'm-….mmm" the caller stuttered
