Chapter 16
Aro POV
I stood still, watching the Cullen’s and waiting for a response to my question. Not that the answer mattered all that much. Whatever the circumstances may be, they broke the law. And they would have to face the consequences. I sighed inwardly as I wondered again how to deal with their transgression.
They were a remarkably gifted coven. It seemed like such a waste to destroy them, but I couldn’t let them walk away unpunished. It would set a bad precedent. No, the law was clear. They would have to atone for their mistakes. It would be up to my brothers and myself how they would be punished. I knew in my mind what I wanted for their indiscretion but I knew that they would rebel against the idea. Edward had been turning me down for years. It would take some strong persuasion to get them to acquiesce to my demands.
I heard Edward growl low in the back of his throat. I chuckled at his antics. ‘Calm down, Edward. I won’t harm your human girl. But you need to control yourself. I can’t have you attacking me in front of my guard. Felix has already expressed interest in making Bella his own mate and he is all too eager to take you out of the equation. You don’t want that to happen, do you?’
I carefully concealed my thoughts after this. I didn’t want to give away my plans yet. I didn’t want them to have any time to come up with a defense. When we made our ruling, I wanted them to be put on the spot. It was the only way that I would get what I desired.
I waited for him to compose himself before I started with my own form of questioning. I did have to keep appearances. They didn’t know that James had turned them in. They didn’t know how much I knew and I wanted to keep them in the dark as long as possible. “Edward, perhaps I should start with you since your link with Bella is the strongest. Let me see your perspective of things.”
I watched him murmur quietly to her. “Stay here love. Everything will be fine. I’ll be alright.”
He strode forward confidently and lifted his hand. I grasped it and was inundated with his thoughts. The impact that this unassuming human girl had on Edward was truly remarkable. She had changed him in every way. And the change was definitely for the better. She was Edward’s singer as well. It was unheard of. I’d never come across the same human being a singer to two vampires. It was extremely bad luck on her part. It was miraculous that she was still standing here. Edward had shown amazing restraint around her. She smelled amazing to me. I can’t imagine how Edward resisted the call for her blood nor did I understand why he didn’t answer that call. Most of us would literally kill for just one taste of blood that was as sweet as her blood was to him. But yet, against the odds, there she stood. All a testament to Edward’s amazing self control.

Another interesting tidbit, Bella was as silent to Edward as she was to me which frustrated him to no end. She was a first time experience for him as well. The only person since his creation that he hadn’t been able to read. It made me more anxious to acquire her services for my guard.
I noticed that Bella, herself, was a remarkable creature. From what Edward had experienced, I gathered that she wasn’t ever afraid of him or his family. Such a strange human. She never shied away from Edward’s touch when most of her kind would have run screaming. Even Edward’s display in the meadow didn’t terrify her like it was meant to. I was simply intrigued with her. She was an enigma.
I was fascinated by what Edward thought of Bella. The first moment that he saw her, she captivated him. She was the first person in his existence that he couldn’t read and that intrigued him. Then when he met her face to face, his obsession with unraveling why he couldn’t hear her thoughts and the fact that it would bring shame to his family ultimately saved her life.
I saw how he fled to Alaska when he thought that he couldn’t refuse the call of her blood. His eventual return and the way he tortured himself sitting in her room night after night watching her sleep.
Then the most damning evidence against him, he has stopped a van from crushing her. In front of a parking lot full of witnesses. That was extremely dangerous and risky. He could have exposed us all to the world. As it was, only the girl had witnessed his feat of speed and strength. How she had seen it with her human eyes was beyond me. Maybe she was just too perceptive for her own good. She eventually figured out the Cullen’s secret on her own but that didn’t absolve them of their guilt. Edward let her see too much. After the incident with the van, she should have been destroyed.
I saw the meeting that Carlisle had with his family to discuss the incident. It seemed that two of the Cullen siblings had wanted to kill the girl. Jasper , the empath and warrior and the stunningly beautiful Rosalie. Both thought what Edward had done was foolish. But Edward had stood his ground and said that he would fight for her. Oh, what to do, what to do? How do I approach this so I can gain what I desire?
I opened my eyes. I had all the testimony that I needed but my curiosity was getting the better of me. I wanted to hear Alice’s thoughts. I wanted to know how her visions worked. I could use the additional information to refine my plan.
“Thank you Edward. That was most illuminating.”
Edward kept his face passive as he stepped back. I could tell that he was frustrated because I was keeping my thoughts locked away. The tenseness of his jaw was telltale.

“Alice, my dear. Do you mind?”
“Not at all, Aro.” She danced away from her fearsome looking mate across the ground separating our covens.
I grasped her tiny hand and closed my eyes. This little vampire was a lesson in contradictions. She remembered nothing of her human life. She awoke in this life alone. Whoever had created her had walked away and abandoned her. She could have turned into the most viscous creature since she had no guidance. Instead, she chose to let her visions be her guide. They led her to her mate and then they led her to the Cullen’s and a different way of life.
I skipped over everything until she met Bella. Fascinating. Alice had visions of Bella before she met her. Before Bella had moved to Forks. She saw herself become best friends with Bella. She saw Edward’s relationship evolve before it happened. She saw Bella become a vampire, although under much different circumstances. That was something that I would make happen, in the very near future.
Edward growled again, louder this time. ‘Edward, control yourself. Remember, Felix is waiting for you to slip.’ For whatever reason, Edward was against Bella becoming a vampire. Surely he realized that she would die sometime. Why wouldn’t he want to be with her for eternity?
He fell silent once again and I continued my perusal of Alice’s unique mind. The things that she has seen and the things that are still yet to occur. She would be an asset to the guard and an absolute joy to have around. She had a very infectious personality. Her joy seemed to transfer to others which is why it seemed natural that her mate would be an empath.
I noted that before James had taken Bella, her visions involving her were quite regular. Then after, most notably after James had bitten Bella, Alice’s visions were hazy at best. No clear images of Bella or James. No wonder the Cullen’s had walked straight into our trap. Bella’s presence had rendered Alice blind, so to speak.
Interesting.
Could it be that his venom had strengthened her latent ability? If that was the case, this girl was going to be extremely powerful. A better shield than even my faithful, little Renata. She could possibly have the ability to shield the whole guard. I simply must have her and I do anything to make sure that the Cullen’s would comply with my request.
Time to move on. I was really interested in Jasper as well. “Thank you, Alice. Your ability is really astounding. The things that you have seen and have yet to happen. That was simply delightful.”
Alice smiled and said, “You are welcome, Aro. I’m glad you enjoyed it. She danced away back to her formidable looking lover, Jasper. He was beyond doubt a frightening looking vampire. Scars adorned every visible place on his body making him very intimidating. One could only imagine how many fights he had survived.
“Jasper, would you mind telling me your side of things?”
I waited patiently as he fearlessly stepped forward. He was confident in his abilities and as his memories flooded my mind I understood why. He was a civil war soldier by the age of seventeen. He’d been turned by Maria. Ah, Maria. That was a name that I recognized. No wonder he was riddled with scars. He’d fought in the southern vampire wars. He’d been Maria’s general in her army. His ability to manipulate emotions had made him invaluable to her. Not only was he an empath but he was also a brilliant military strategist and tactician. He also had an over abundance of experience dealing with newborns. He would be an excellent addition to my guard.
As for the situation with Bella, I noticed that he stayed on the periphery. He wasn’t as practiced as the others in controlling his bloodlust. He generally avoided direct contact with the girl.
“Thank you, Jasper. I must say that you have to be the most experienced fighter that I’ve ever come across. I’m impressed that you survived the Southern Wars. Many lives were lost during that dark time.”
He nodded and returned to Alice’s side. He was devoted to her. Wherever she went, he would follow.
I turned my attention to Bella. She looked pale and very sickly. James had certainly treated her very badly. I noticed that she was shivering. I couldn’t risk her getting sick and ruining my plan. Plus, I genuinely cared about her wellbeing. She was a lovely girl.
“Carlisle, I’ve heard what I needed to hear. However, I must share my findings with my brothers. Then we must deliberate. I noticed that Bella is shivering. Perhaps we should adjourn to Volterra for the time being. We have some very comfortable rooms as I’m sure you remember. We also have a kitchen so that Bella can have something to eat. I imagine that it has been awhile since she has had anything in her stomach.”
Carlisle seemed to consider my proposal. He said, “Alice…?”
She scrunched up her nose and whispered, “I don’t know, Carlisle. Everything is hazy. Something is affecting my visions.”
Finally, Carlisle said, “Alright, my old friend. We’ll come with you to Volterra. This has been quite an ordeal for Bella and she needs rest. We appreciate your kindness.”
I smiled. “Splendid. Follow me.”
I turned with Renata and began to lead the way. I sent Jane and Alec to the rear of our procession to be sure that they didn’t try to flee. They couldn’t escape me now. Little did they know it, the Cullen’s wouldn’t be leaving Volterra. Not without losing a few members of their family.
