After being left for dead by Edward, Bella decides that she's going to make a change in her life. The shock of his sudden disappearance evoked emotions that she put into positive actions to alter who she once was. She undergoes a huge change and rea...
"I love you Edward" I state as we stand in a group waiting for the Volturi. He pulled me by the waist into his arm and put his cold forehead against mine.
"I love you too" He replied "we will get through this"
"I know" I whisper with a smile before I bring him in for a passionate kiss. I pull away and hug Alice before kissing her cheek.
"Love you Bells" Alice stated. I hug her one more time.
"Love you too" I reply with a grin.
"I think you need a more superior outfit" She smirks.
"What do you have in mind?" I questioned as I entered her head before making myself wear it.
"Nice" I complement as I look at myself through her mind.

I walked over to Tatia and gave her a hug. Over these few days we had become really close as I am teaching her how to expand her physical shield. She is so sweet and amazing, Jasmine is very lucky to have her as a kid.
"If something happens to me, you know what to do. Remember, it is like an elastic band. If worse comes to worst, place it around the Volturi and then shrink it. I believe in you" I smiled at her. She hugged me and I swung her around in circles.
"Thank you Bell Bell" Tatia says as she gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"If we get through this I will make sure I visit regularly" I promise as we interlock pinky fingers.
"Thank you so much for your help Bella" Jasmine says in gratitude.
"It is what is right. I will protect Tatia at all cost and if I fail than I know that I have taught her to protect herself and the ones around her. So I have hope she will make it through this. You have a wonderful daughter, you should be proud" I reply with a grin. She pulls me into a short hug before going over to join Tatia and her mate.
I walk over to the other side of the field and turn to face the group. I blew a kiss to Edward before I heard the synchronised steps coming towards the opening. I felt the gaurd join me with the masters at my side. Aro gave me a sweet kiss on the cheek before turning and assessing the opposition.
"Alice. Edward. What are you doing on the law breakers side?" Aro asked as he gave me a confused side glance.
"We do not want the child to be harmed" Alice replied as she grabbed Tatia's hand.
"Are you so naive to support an immortal child?" Aro mocked as he gave a small evil smirk "even after what happened to the Denali's mother?"
Alice sneered in reply to Aro bring up that story.
"She is not immortal" I state. Aro tilts his head towards me.
"Go on my dear Bella" he encouraged.
"She is half human, half vampire" Jasmine spoke up.
"Don't be ridiculous she is clearly an immortal child. We are not blind" Caius exclaimed on the other side of me. Aro held up his hand to silence Caius and directed his focus to Jasmine.
"And you are?" Aro questioned.
"I am her biological mother, Jasmine, and this is my mate, Nate. I concieved Tatia when I was still human and I was transformed after the birth. She has blood flowing through her veins. Can you see the pink in her cheeks. Can you hear her heart beating?" Jasmine continued on. Aro took a few steps forward and hushed the gaurd. His face lifted in surprise.
"What does she eat?" He pressed.
"She can survive on both human food and blood" Nate spoke for the first time.
"Brother she is still a threat to us all. We don't know of her kind or what she could be capable of" Caius frowned. I gave him a bewildered look to which he replied with a glare.
"I don't like what you are suggesting Caius. I do not believe this child should be killed. I think she has a better chance at keeping our secret than many other vampires roaming the world today. She is innocent. No crime has been committed here and I think we should leave this poor family alone" I glared back at Caius.
"How do we know for sure that she is no harm?" Caius pressed and stepped towards me threateningly. I glared at him and gave him a warning look that told him if he came any closer I would destroy him. Edward growled and Caius reluctantly stood down.
"Stop..." Aro commanded towards us. He turned towards Jasmine "I want to meet her"
He started to walk towards the center and I followed him as he requested. Jasmine, Nate and Tatia walked forward. I gave them a reassuring look. Aro offered his hand to Tatia and with a nod from me Tatia took his hand. I had warned her about his gift earlier and she was prepared. I manipulated what Aro was seeing so it looked like I arrived just a few minutes before them and had never met Tatia before.
"It is true" Aro exclaimed in wonder "I have never heard of anything like this before!"
"Brother" Caius warned.
"I know that she could still possibly be a threat... It will be a hard decision" Aro stated as he rubbed his chin thoughtfully "If only there was a way we could be sure that this child won't be a threat to our kind"
"What if there was? Would that make you believe that she will not threaten our secret? Would you leave us alone?" Jasmine asked.
"Obviously. But it is impossible to be sure" Caius claimed.
"Hazel" Jasmine called and at the speed of light Hazel was standing beside Jasmine in the middle of the field. Hazel held out her hand to Aro for him to read. Once again I manipulated what Aro could see and made him believe that Jasmine had met her in the forest and taken her back here.
"Remarkable" Aro exclaimed.
"I am Hazel and like the child I am a half human, half vampire hybrid. I have been living nearly 200 years and in that time I have never threatened your kind. In my time I have met others like me. All of us have kept your secret, all of us are not a threat. We are just like you but with human qualities. We grow at a fast rate until we stop growing as soon as we turn 18. I live with a tribe in one of the many forrest of Thailand and we feed on animals, just like Tatia and her family. Our kind are no threat. I am proof of that" Hazel finishes her speech. I give her a beaming smile.
"I think we are done here" Aro exclaims.
"You can't be serious?!" Caius yells in fustration.
"Do you not trust me brother?" Aro retorts back with a menacing smirk.
Caius glares and growls before turning and stomping off. The rest of the gaurd soon followed and in the blink of an eye they were all gone.
"I am sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you. Consider it an unfortunate misunderstanding" he nodded apologetically towards the group. He offered me his arm "Bella?"
"I will politely decline. I think I will stay and talk to them a bit longer and find out more about them. I am very intrigued" I smiled at my master.
"Suit yourself. Make sure you visit us soon but for now, keep yourself safe" he requested before kissing my cheek and speeding off in the direction of the Volturi. There was a huge cheer as he left.
