We're Both Broken

Chapter 7

<<Mature content ahead>>

Rosalie's POV

When we entered the Castle, we were greeted by the so called Witch Twins, Jane and Alec. "You are to come with us. Our Masters are expecting you." Jane said with a bored tone.

Carlisle smiled at her. "Of course Jane, lead the way."

She grunted and led us through the ancient halls of the Castle, and being the history buff that my mate was, she took the opportunity to take everything in from my side, since I

refused to let her stray from my side in a Castle full of hostile vampires.

Bella of course pouted a bit. "I promise when you are turned you may explore for as long as we are here, but I'd rather keep you close until then."

She only nodded and pressed herself a bit more into my side, which I couldn't help but smirk at. "I get it. There are probably a lot of unmated vampires here and you are feeling

protective, especially when our confrontation with Edward is so close."

I nodded and kissed her cheek softly. "We'll be finally be rid of him my love, and we can start looking to our future together."

Bella smiled and squeezed my waist softly, conveying all of her love through that little action.

"We are here, and if you value your lives, you will show my Masters the upmost respect, or we will not hesitate to end you." Jane said as we arrived at the giant double doors.

"We are not Edward, Jane. We know the meaning of respect." Carlisle said with his most disarming smile.

The small blonde just smirked as she pushed open the doors, which I had to admit looked a bit comical, given her small stature.

As the doors opened, we could see the three Kings and Queens, already in front of their thrones, and what surprised me that Edward was already there, chained to one of the

walls.

"Ah, the Cullens and Denali's have finally arrived. Thank you Jane and Alec for escorting them. I trust your trip here was uneventful?" Aro asked with that knowing smile of his.

"It was Aro, thank you for asking, we have all been looking forward to this visit from the moment you called." Carlisle said with a kind smile.

Aro smiled at him. "I'm sure you have, come Carlisle, let me see what you have been up to in recent months." He said as he held out his hand for Carlisle to take, and I just knew

we all had to present our hands to him.

"What's going on love?" Bella asked softly, although it was evident by Edward's loud growl, everyone heard her.

I only smiled at her. "Aro has a similar gift to Edward. He can see every thought you ever had with one touch, although I suspect he will find you the same enigma Carlisle and

Eleazar find you to be."

She smiled at that as Aro released Carlisle's hand. "It has not been quiet since your eldest son left, but I see his claims were not entirely truthful. Young Bella, would you allow me

to try and take a look into your mind?"

"Of course, I have nothing to hide." She said as she squeezed my hand before walking to the front and placing her hand in his.

Aro's eyes fluttered closed and a smile appeared on his face. "I see... absolutely nothing. An enigma if I ever saw one. Have your gifts been confirmed already?" He asked looking
