Bella pov

Pushing at the hard cold body to move it back into the dark made me growl. If I wasn't allowed to take the easy way out what made him think he could? I was here to get my closure so I can move on not do as I am told. He grabbed me shoving his face into my neck. "Bella you are here and alive."

Giving a final push I got out of his uncomfortable embrace. "Yeah even though I have better things to do."

He pushed me behind him and looked in the corner. "Thanks but we are leaving now. We have places to be."

"The kings want to see you and your . . . pet." The word pet was spat with disgust.

Edward gave in and pulled me behind him. Trying to free my wrist from his grip was pointless. His grip just tightened with each try. He wasn't paying attention to me anymore. After a while we came to the double doors of what I am guessing is a throne room. He dragged me into the room as I lost my temper. "Get your damn hands off me right now Eddie." My teeth were clenched with anger. His grip tightened a little more as he turned to me.

"Respect your elders and be more lady like Bella." His hiss to my words annoyed me more. What he said didn't help either.

Resettling the dark glasses over my eyes I glared at him. "He's right Bella. Especially here." The pixie whispered. She has pissed on the wrong tree this time. "Edward isn't to blame here after all."

"Enough pixie." I pulled on my wrist again but it was no good. "By the way where is Jasper?"

There was a long silence before she replied but I was dancing on the inside. "He's at home with the rest of the family."

I smirked at her answer. "Are you sure any of the family are at home?" I could feel her eyes on me. "Look around Alice. What do you see?"

"The kings and guard." She chided me like a five year old. "I see exactly what you see."

I winced at her words but was flooded with love, adoration and warmth. I knew exactly who it was and they were close. "You call yourselves vampires. I thought vampires were smart." Mumbling I looked in the pixies direction. "Not once have you asked why I am wearing glasses. Or why I have a limp. You haven't even mentioned or noticed my scent either of you."

The room fell silent but I heard the rustle of cloth. "Isabella you are alive and well it seems." I knew this had to be one of the kings but I didn't know who it was.

"Ya think?" was my reply.

"What have I told you about that Miss Isabella?" a smile broke across my face as I turned to the voice.

"If I don't stop with that show I'm going to get slapped." I bent down as I heard two pairs of little feet running at me. "Took you long enough."

"Sorry mam." I felt him kiss my forehead as the twins hugged my legs. "Tobs you can hug her later let's sort this out first." I felt their small hands in mine. "Go join your uncles boys." When they left he wrapped his arms around me. "By the way it was Aro."

He understand me well turning back I moved away and headed to the thrones. "I'm sorry Aro but I'm tired and so far from home. I only came to get the closure I believe I deserve. They left me not the other way around. I don't need any of this and as you can see I'm surr5ounded by supernatural. I'm no longer part of the human world." I felt the rest of the Cullens being brought into the room as the rest of my family came in. "The Cullen coven isn't to blame just those two."

"It's ok dear. But why are you still human?"

I smiled softly at that. "Waiting for my mate."

"She means other mate Aro." I felt the arms wrap around my waist from behind. I heard a gasp from the thrones and got worried. "Izz that was just Marcus showing Aro what he saw. Remember what you were told?"

There was a pause before the question was asked. "Human why do you wear those glasses?" the voice was strong and cold. Caius. I could hear the fear behind the coldness. Alice and Edward wouldn't pick it up.

"I hang around vampires and wolves so I knew of the danger. Funny I didn't think of the danger my own kind could be." My smile turned sad. Turning back to Alice and Edward I snarled. "Remember James' coven? After you killed James they came back so thanks."

The arms around me tightened in comfort. "After they left James' coven were hunting for me. They had a warning that Edwards . . . pet was in danger. We ran to Forks to give the warning and find out what was going on." He paused kissing my neck to help calm my nerves. "We were always with Izzy so nothing happened. After a few months what we were to protect her from happened. Her father went missing after a call to the station. The wolves had duty to their people on the rez to take care of and we were hunting so Izzy went home from school alone. When she got there Charlie was cuffed and tied to the chair. One of the kids from school had rang the station with a bear sighting."

I patted his hand to tell him to stop. "Except when he got to the woods he walked into a trap. There was a small group waiting to ambush him. I walked into the same trap when I got home. They beat me to an inch of my life. My dad was forced to watch unable to do anything. They got a small fire started in the back of the house which alerted the wolves that were closest to the house. It didn't matter how close they were they couldn't do anything. They burst through the door with my vampires just in time for the final act." I took my glasses off turning back to the others in the room. My hair was hiding my face.

He placed a finger under my chin and kissed my temple. "Show that gorgeous face of yours Izzy." Lifting my head up with his finger I opened my eyes. "We were the last thing she saw. She only sees shadows now thanks to James."

I pouted playfully. "Hey I can still kick your ass Major." Gasps went around the room as they saw my face. The scars were worse than being blind. "They said if they weren't good enough for me to look at then no – one was."

"Bellsy." Emmett's pain filled whisper brought my love to the surface. "What have we done?"

"Nothing Emmy – bear. You aren't to blame." I told him.

"Alec could you and Felix take her to a room so she can rest?" Aro spoke up.

"Yes master." Alec took my hand lightly and led me out of the room.

"Take the boys with you Izzy. They haven't been sleeping well." Jazz told me.

AN Rose and a couple of others will get their just deserts by Bella
