Expect The Unexpected

Chapter 4

"We are entering the throne room where I am going to lead you to stand in front of the three kings."Jane explained to Isabella. When Jane had been sent on a mission to take care of an out of control newborn she thought it would be a regular job. She was very wrong. Never before had Jane heard of a blind vampire. If that wasn't surprising enough the girl was gifted with the ability to block Jane and her brother Alec's gifts as well. Luckily the twins were able to calm Isabella down enough to have a conversation. After learning about how Isabella came to be in that situation Jane's heart went out to the newborn. Isabella had been left to fend for herself with no help or guidance from anyone. With her lack of sight the poor girl was completely helpless and if there was one thing Jane understood it was what if felt like to be helpless. It was something she fought hard everyday to prevent from happening to her again and after meeting Isabella it was something Jane promised she would never let Isabella feel again either.

"Alright."Isabella held on to Jane's arm until she was stopped. Once she felt Jane try to pull away Isabella held on tighter.

"I need to stand to the side but I will still be in the room."Jane told her.

Aro watched the scene before him in great interest. It was very unusual for Jane to be kind to anyone even her brother but here she was going out of her way to comfort the newborn she returned with. The newborn being unusual as well. He had never come across a blind vampire before. Nor had heard any rumors of one. It made him wonder what the girl's sire was thinking when they turned her. Not that he could ask them as they had abandoned their creation before the newborn woke up. He wasn't complaining though. Based on Jane's message the girl had a gift. A very valuable one if she could block Jane and Alec's gifts. She would make a perfect addition to the guard.

"Welcome to Voltaire Isabella. My name is Aro. I am one of the Volturi kings."Aro greeted.

"Nice to meet you your majesty."Isabella replied.

"I'm sure you are.."Before Aro could speak further the doors to the throne room flew open and Queen Athenodora rushed into the room, pulled Isabella into her arms, backing her towards the wall growling at everyone in the room. Aro held up a hand to stop the guards from reacting."Athenodora what is the meaning of this?"

Marcus took a moment to examine the pair."The queen has a familiar bond with the girl."

"A familiar bond."Aro was very surprised to hear that. Familiar bonds were very rare.

Caius stood from his throne and approached Athenodora slowly with his hands up. In reply Athenodora crouched in front of Isabella and growled louder."My love there no need for aggression. If the girl is truly your bond child then she is mine as well."

"The girl is not yours!!"Athenodora wasn't going to let anyone claim her child.

"Chelsea take care of it."Aro ordered his guard. She would be able to bond the child to Caius.

Chelsea concentrated on the newborn frowning in confusing when nothing happened."My king she is blocking me somehow."

"What do you mean she is blocking you?"Aro asked.

"My gift appears to have no effect on her."Chelsea told him.

"Amazing."Aro tried to think of all the possibilities that such a gift could be used for.

"Whatever the girl is doing has broken the bond between Caius and Athenodora."Marcus no longer saw the connection between the pair.

"She is protecting Athenodora as well?"Aro looked to Chelsea who nodded. Noticing that Athenodora was getting more agitated the closer Caius was getting to her Aro decided to interfere."Caius leave the queen and the newborn alone."
