Chapter 3

Annabella's Point-of-view

Carlisle takes me down the hall his hand on my arm at all time. What did I say? I just told him I wanted to see Alec and Jane. Its died silent, nothing, nobody is make any noise. Its dark, very dark actually I can parley see anything. Carlisle eyes are staring straight forward I decide if i'm going to brake the silence I better do it know. "Where are we going? Where are you taking me?" I question.

"To Aro. He wanted to see you as soon as you where done drinking." Who's Aro? I think to myself. Thank god Carlisle can't see my face right know he would laugh at my confused expression. I would too if I could see it. "You don't have to go so fast though." He tenses at my world but he does slow down. What is up with him, one second he was happy and trying to explain my "new life" now hes acting all nervous and scared. I was about to ask i'm if he was ok, but I was to late. We walk down a hallway then two big men come in my vision guarding a big door. As we walk up to them they open the door where in rather large room that is covered, floor to ceiling in total white, everywhere I look its either white stone or white granite. In front of me there are four small white steps that lead to three king size chairs. The kind of chairs you would see in a medieval type movie where the kings would sit upon and give commands. Carlisle walks in first and bows at the three man seating on the chairs, one is really old looking another looks oddly weird. He looks sum what annoyed with a mixture of mad. The one sitting in the middle smiles in delight as he sees me. The one i'm the middle asks Carlisle if I was feed as a response Carlisle says, "Yes Master."

Master? "Welcome Annabella to the Voturi castle." he says spreading his arms out and giving me a friendly smile. But at the same time its a creepy smile. "Hi." I mumbled not sure what to say to this man in front of me. "I'm Aro, the king of theVampires. These are my brothers Cauis," he points to the angry looking man on the right. The one with blondish hair. Then he points to the old man "And that is Marcus." I feel uneasy and wave to them. "Oh sweetheart its alright your perfectly safe here," Aro replied with a friendly smile. "Well if she doesn't have an ability shes not," Cauis speaks up.

"Cauis we must not scare the girl with false hopes." Aro tells him. I'm start feeling a little bit scared as always when i'm scared I look down at my feet. "See your worrying her," Aro makes his way over to me I turn uneasy. He puts his cold hand on my check and lifts up my check so make my eyes look at his. Those dreadful red eyes the same ones I have. "Does she have an ability? Fetch Eleazar." he orders one of the guards to find this "Eleazar." He studies my features looking up and down I felt like I was naked. The next minute the same guard is back with a large skinny looking man he looks like hes in his mid 20s. His hair is dark black and like Carlisle he has yellowish gold eyes. "Master you called for me?" the man, Eleazar, asks Aro. Whats with everyone calling him master? "Ahh yes Eleazar I was wondering if Miss. Jones has an ability?" He say pointing at me. How does he know my last name? Oh whatever. Eleazar looks at me and he grows a small smile but it soon fades, "She can detect when people are lieing and she is extremely flexible which will allow her to fight good." well hes not lying. I've had that all my live its nothing new being flexible and can detect when people are lying. "Thats it?" Aro asks a bit of sadness in his tone. Eleazar just nods his head but hes still looking at me. "What a shame I thought she would have a good talent like Alec or Jane." My head pops up at the two names. But its impossible there died, I saw them die. Well techanlcy I got nocked out but everyone else in the village said they died. "Umm." Aro says looking at me he then looks behind me and nods his head. The man guarding the door opens it I see two people I never thought I would see again Alec and Jane.

I fight the urge to hug them. Jane forms a smile when she sees me. There not real Annabella, I look down at my feet. Nervous again. They make there way next to Cauis Alec is holding Janes hand. Well more like gripping Janes hand. Bella There not really get that in your head! "You said they she would have a power! Well a good one!" Aro screams at them. Jane looks taken back "she doesn't have a power?" Shes looking directionally at Eleazar. "She has the power to detect when people are lieing and mega flexibility which means she will be a good fighter." Eleazar say to Jane. "Whats wrong with that power?" she says in a bit of an angered tone directed towards Aro.

"Jane if she where to be in the guard she has to have a good power." Cauis replays back to Jane causing her to back of. "Maybe she has to receive pain to have a better power." Cauis says with a smile at Jane. Jane's face turns dark and hard "No."

"Jane its just to see. If she does." Aro say an a sweet tone. "I will not do it," Jane starts Alec comes in "She got burned at the stake isn't that good enough." His voice is filled with hate, anger and pain. "Jane! It will only take a second do I have to punish you?" Jane looks horrified when Aro said punish you. She lets go of Alec hand and her head sinks. Her whole body movements go from defensive to weak and sad in a matter of moments. "I'm sorry Annabella." she mumbles still looking down at the floor. What? She looks back up me my eyes meet her black ones and the word pain comes out of her mouth. The next think was horrible. The pain was overwhelming. I scream so loud. Its like i'm burning form the inside out. Its horrible like my heart is being kicked, punched and ripped it out of me. I'm on my knees on the floor screaming my head off while holding my heart. Who is doing this? My eyes look up to se Jane sating at me. Then I got it, Jane's causing the pain. I scream more, I look at Jane, well what I thought was Jane. She would never, not in a million years do this to me. Her eyes look so sad and hurt, for a second I think this is hurting her more then me. "no. please." I beg her but my body feels like its on fire. "Aro please," Alec begs him but Aro tells Jane to go on. I scream out again and this time i'm on the floor the pain my vision goes back to the day of my burning, this pain is much worse then the pain that day. "Please!" I beg the girl. My eyes meet hers and she stops it. At first her eyes are surprised but she goes back to normal. "Jane why did you stop?" Aro growls at Jane.

"Umm I can't take it anymore." She says she looks like on the verge of crying but then I remember vampires can't cry. She looks back at Alec, he looks horrible much more worse then me. He staring straight at me with sad eyes. "Does she have anything new know Eleazar?" Aro questioned him. Eleazar just shock his head. "Well thats a shame. What shall we do brothers, with this child?" Aro asks them even though she looking straight at me. "We can kill her" Cauis smile with delight at his idea. This causes Jane and Alec to hiss and growl. "Brother." Aro says. "Just an idea." Cauis shutters with disappointment and hate. "ill take responsibility for her." I hear Carlisle voice come out of know where. Everyone turns to see him, hes been hiding behind Marcus. "What make you think you can just come up in our conversation and offer to take a 15 year old girl in?" Cauis say boiling mad.

"Cauis!" Aro yells at him, Cauis rolls his eyes and sighs getting the intention to shut up know. "Carlisle do you mean it? Would you adopt this child?"

"Yes me and Esme (A/N Hey guys I thought it would be better if Esme was turned into a vampire earlier and Alec, Jane and Annabella where tuned later. Hope you like it) Where taking about adopting she will be loved with us." Carlisle speaks confident and strong. His words shine on my dark world. He smiles at me. "Its settled then." Aro says. "Felix, Alec please escort Annabella to her new room." I get up not needing to have there hands on me, helping me up. Felix witch is a rather small man with reddish brown hair Come towards me along with Alec. Alec takes a hold of my hand and hugs me. Hes not really Alec Annabella. Its not him. I don't hug back. They take me our of the main room, "Its we see each other again Annabella." Aro says.

"Yes" I mumble he nods his hand and the doors close. They both go in front of me while I stay behind them. My mind lost in track we head toward a door at the end of the hallway. Felix opens the door and always me and Alec to go in first, "This is your. Feeding rooms downstairs. If you don't know what the feeding room is" I interrupt him there, "I now what the feeding room is." Felix rolls his eyes, "Alec i'll be waiting outside" and closes the door giving me and Alec privacy. When the doors close fully Alec takes me into a biggest hug he can, way bigger then last time. I give a small hug back still unsure if he is really Alec. The thought of Alec alone cause a few dry sobs to come out. Alec brakes up the hug but still has his arms around me. "Whats wrong?" he says searching my red eyes for an answer he can only find in my heart. My non beating heart. "You not Alec. Alec's died. He gone." it comes out in a whisper that last part. My dry sobs fill the room.

"No i'm Alec. You where knocked unconscious while everything happened. Aro sand the other saved me and Jane before we could die and changed us into vampires. Like we did for you." I can tell hes not lying but somewhere in my heart I don't believe him. I can't. "I want to believe you, but.." Before I could finish Alec's lips make contact with mine. His soft lips, his lips! Ohh my gosh its Alec lips the same lips I tasted before his burning. Its feels magical, I hate to sound cliché but there fireworks everywhere. My lips call for his more, he takes a hold of my neck causing the kiss be be deeper and more passionate. I but my hands around his neck and kiss him back more aggressively and differently much more passionately. I thought I would never feel his lips ever again. And now that i'm kissing them again, i'm never going to let them go, i'm never going to have enough. I love him, always have ALWAYS will. We brake up both begging for air but or foreheads are both leaning against one another. "Alec? Oh may god I never thought I would see you again." I spit out still breathing heavily I hug him and pretend I he has a heart beet and I can hear it. "Bella.." He whispers into my ear and his tone is filled with only one thing Love. "I could have fought back more. I would have saved you and.." i'm about to say Jane before he interrupts me. "No don't say that I should have saved you. When that guy nocked you out." His whole body tightens thinking about the event. "Alec there was nothing you could have done."

"And vice versa." I hate it when he gets all smart on me. We both lean in for another kiss, but the door flies open to reveal a light brown haired girl shes about 5'3" and has pale skin and dark red eyes. "Oh. Sorry i'm in interrupting something?" I'm about to say no when Alec looks at her pissed and says "Yes, yes you are Chelsea."

"I'm sorry I just wanted to check up on our, well Carlisles, new member." I let go of Alec and walk toward Chelsea I look at my feet then at her. "Hi." Chelsea smiles at me" You two have a strong bond." i'm a bit taken back, what about me and Alec? Alec must sense my discomfort because he comes up towards me and takes a hold of my waist. "Chelseas ability is to weaken and strengthen the emotion between bonds."

"Yup thats me. Don't worry your bond is to strong to break or even tweak. Now don't worry to much Alec i'm not going to hurt the poor thing." she comes over to me I get out of Alec's arms which cause me physical harm and give her a friendly hug. "See was that so bad you overprotective boy." I like Chelsea she seems nice. "We have to go shopping one day, you, me, Didyme, Sulpicia and Athendora."

"Athenodora? Didyme? Sulpicia?" I ask her confused.

"Oh yeah, Didyme is Marcus mate, Sulpicia is Aros mate and Athenodora is Caius mate. Didyme is also Aros sister." Chelsea said to me. "Mate?"

She sighs and looks back at me, "A mate is like a soul mate." Oh, I say in my head. A swift nock was on the door, Chelsea answer it to see Carlisle. Chelsea bids me farewell and tells me to come nock on her door anytime. I thank her, Alec leaves kissing me on the check, Felix then joins him. Soon me and Carlisle are alone in my room, talk about awkward. "Thank you Carlisle."

"You can call me dad."

"Thank you dad."

"Your welcome. I was wondering if you would like to meet my wife two days from now. We can get something to eat or just watch a movie."

"I would love to, Dad."

He smiles when I call him dad, we talk more and I realize he as a chill dude. I actually don't mind that hes my dad.
