Their Forever

Surprise

Bella's pov
The beauty of isle Esme is even more incredible now I'm a vampire, I can appreciate it all so much more now. We've been here for 3 days and even though I'm having a lovely time I do miss Renesmee a lot and am thinking of asking Edward if we could maybe go home a day early. "Ready?" He asks walking out the house towards me, I nod in response and climb up onto the boat. Our anniversary was lovely and admittedly we haven't really left the house since we arrived so today I decided we should venture out into the city. We've explored every inch of the island so something new should be nice.

The boat trip isn't long and we're soon walking along the busy exhilarating streets of Rio. I smile politely at the street performers and Edward occasionally tips one if he's particularly impressed with their act but other than that we stay fairly to our selves.
"Im going to go look over there for something for Renesmee" I tell him when I spot a quaint little gift shop filled with clothing and jewellery
"Okay I'll meet you back here in five minutes" he says, I nod in agreement and lean up to kiss him quickly on the lips "okay"

The shop is very crowed so I start outside, wondering through the small cramped isles of varied ornaments and small handcrafted objects. I stop to look at a painting of a couple by a lake, the woman dressed in brightly coloured garments and the man a casual suit minus the tie and top button, you can't really make out their faces but the intricate patterns on the clothing and intriguing sunset behind make for a beautiful image. I smile down at the artwork and just as I'm about to reach out and take it I feel a strong hand grasp onto my arm. My head snaps around to see a tall slim man grinning unnervingly at me. "Excuse me?" I say rather angrily and as more of a question than serving the purpose of getting him to move.

That's when I see the dark red eyes and white skin, vampire. The word doesn't scare me and after seeing countless amounts of them I should know the signs instantly but for some reason it wasn't until I saw his eyes that the realisation hit me, why didn't I notice before. "Isobella am I correct?" He asks in a sadistic tone, he's still smiling making the whole situation even more creepy.
"How did you?" I begin completely speechless to how this man could know me. "We share common friends" he grins answering my question before I get to ask it. I feel sick even though I know it's impossible for me to actually be. "Aro" I say almost automatically, something about him screamed voltouri, while he doesn't have quite the same reserved demeanour as the guard, his clear recognition of me and not in a friendly way shows he can't be anything else or at least let of their army.
"Well done" he says with a nod. I'm urging to drop my shield and call for Edward but I need to know why this man is here, what he wants.
I stare down at my wrist still incased in his grasp. "And how can I help you" I spit.
"As you've most likely guessed I happened to be at that little meeting, lovely daughter by the way" his still overly happy exterior and the mention of my daughter causes me to take an unneeded breath. If I was human my heart rate would probably be racing right now.
Suddenly heat starts to erupt from his hand and travel up my arm, I try my best to ignore it but he clearly knows what's happening.
"But as lovely as she is she's a danger to our kind, Aro might have been fool enough to walk away then but I won't miss a chance like this. Your whole clan is a liability and there are others waiting to destroy you" the burning sensation continues to travel until it stops over my heart and I feel a sudden feeling of suffocation, like I need to gasp for breath and that's what I did. I took one urgent breath.
He grins wider at my panic and confusion.
"The way I see it im just lucky enough to be the first to get one of you"
What's happening to me?
As if on que Edward appears at my side and rips the mans arm off of me. "I believe you're upsetting my wife" he spits. The man begrudgingly steps back but quickly returns his smile. "My apologies" he says before turning and walking into the sea of people.

I stand silently for the few seconds that Edward is watching him disappear into the cowed probably fighting the urge to go after him. What on just happened to me? I just breathed, I took a full breath, how can that be possible?
Edward turns back to look at me, the concern clear in his expression "are you hurt?" He asks
"No...No I'm fine let's just go" I say turning and walking off on my own. "Bella, Bella are you sure you're okay.. I heard his thoughts he wanted to hurt you he" "yeah I know I got that" I state cutting him off. "I'm going after him"
"No, no don't" I panic pulling on his arm, he stares down at me tense and ridged. "Edward please let's just go" at my pleas his body relaxes slightly and his expression softens "okay...okay"
