Dear friend

Friends

I stared at the woman in the mirror; she was beautiful and elegant. She was wearing black leather trousers and a crimson shirt. She had nice boots, black without heels.

"Pet, you are beautiful," Aro said.

"It was a good idea to give me flat boots since I'm so clumsy and I would fall easily," I said

"We know, Carlisle told us," He said chuckling.

"Oh my, that's really mean and you know it, my Lord." I said glaring at him.

"You plan to do something about that?" he asked raising his brow

"I was thinking more about not doing anything, so if you'll excuse me, Caius and Marcus are waiting for me downstairs and I would not make them wait." I said turning away from him and walking to the door.

I didn't get too far before I felt him beside me. In a second he was pulling me into his arms.

"Do not dare to walk out on me like this, you are mine!" He growled before crushing my lips with his mouth, holding my head with his hand and tasting every inch of my mouth with his tongue. I was moaning and I wanted more.

"Isabella, Aro! We need you here now!" Marcus was calling us.

"My dear brothers, always saving you from your punishment."

We entered the living room to find them waiting for us, carrying some items on their arms.

"Dear, we prepared your uniform before we arrived and we have three more things to give you. First the pendant, it will show your rank to the coven. You will have the same one that we have." Marcus said giving me a necklace with a V made of platinum and ruby. He put it on my neck and patted my head.

"The second item is your cloak that will show the other vampires who you are and the respect they need to give you." Caius said putting my cloak around my shoulders and kissing me softly on my cheek.

I saw the cloak and I was shocked. Carlisle told me one day that the color of the cloaks would tell you the importance of one vampire. You will find light grey for the lower guards and the darkest for the brothers. I saw a little difference between the cloaks the brothers use, Aro was the darkest one and I was having its twin. They put me on his same level.

"The last thing, which I wanted to give you myself, will show the others how close you are to us. It will show the others that you are my promised and that hurting you would have nasty consequences." He said showing me a little diadem made of platinum, rubies and diamonds. I breathed slowly while he put this on the top of my head, kissing me softly.

I did not know what to say and I hugged them, thanking them for their kindness. Marcus told me to stay in the sitting room until they called me for the meeting. They wanted to explain something to Carlisle before he saw me as a member of the Volturi, and an important member of the coven. I sat with a book and tried to distract myself, failing miserably in my attempt. How could I manage this relationship I had with the brothers? Marcus seemed nice, close to a father figure, a mentor, and I felt I could count with him to learn the ways of my new coven. Caius was a mystery. He was so cold the last time I saw him, but today he was nice, even kissing me on my cheek, and I felt he wanted to have my trust. Aro was teasing and flirting; he was possessive and did not want to be far from me for a long time. I could almost feel him getting restless because we are not in the same room. The three of them are extremely protective and I felt safe around them. It was a lot of information for one day.

I was sitting in the armchair as the Cullens entered the room. We thought Carlisle would be here alone, but he brought all of them. I hoped he could control his coven better than this morning.
