[Bella Swan]

Bella ran through the trees, still finding it stunning at how everything looked so different. She stopped when she reached the edge of the trees and looked around her. She had unknowingly traveled to the meadow where Edward had taken her and she had first told him she knew what he was. So much had changed since then. She was now a vampire herself and she was no longer with Edward... It wasn't as if she hadn't wanted to be a vampire but she would not have thought it would come about in this way.

She stepped out of the rim of trees and looked around her; it was similar to that day so many months ago. The sun was filtering down between the trees and the grass was as green as ever, as was everything else. Taking another small step, Bella emerged into the sunlight. Instantly her skin became covered in little diamonds, catching the sunlight and throwing te effect around the trees. Bella took in a quick breath at the sight; she never quite got used to the beauty of it all.

Taking her eyes away from her skin, she sat down on the grass and began to think about her family. The day when Victoria and James had attacked and she had gotten bitten, the Cullens had told Charlie that she was going to be staying with them for a few days. When Bella had awaken a vampire, she found the craving to be overwhelming but soon controlled.. then they had a surprise visit from Charlie. The Cullens, especially Jasper were scared that she, Bella, might attack Charlie, plus the fact that she looked much different, they at first wouldn't' let Charlie in. But Bella insisted that she was fine and with Jasper at her side to keep her calm she approached her father.

To say Charlie was stunned would be an understatement. He just about fell over when he saw the new Bella. And at first she had wanted to lunge at him and take in his warm pulsing blood. Charlie went into a rage, demanding to know what was going on and why Bella looked so sickly, yet so..different. He was referring to her new beauty. The Cullens had all exchanged worried glances but Alice had nodded as if to let them know everything would work out fine. They knew it was dangerous to tell Charlie; the Volturi were already keeping an eye on all of them due to the fact of the Nomads. But Charlie had a right no know. So they told him; he was shocked to say the least and he kept looking at Bella as if to make sure it was all the truth. There was no denying that Bella had changed.

It had been weeks since then and Charlie was doing lots better with the fact. Bella was able to visit him, but it was hard to avoid any of her class-mates. They would certainly want to know what was with her. She sighed as she lay down in the grass and looked up at the sky. She missed talking to her friends, even if she had barely knew them or talked to them that much anyway, but maybe one day she would be able to see them and not have to worry about her appearance. Just then her sensitive ears caught the sound of someone approaching, Bella sat up and looked toward the trees to see if she could catch a glimpse of who it was.

[Emma Auralias]

Ariving at this wonderous little town was a good feeling for Emma. Like a cool wave of water washing over her, here she could start a new life and make this one work. Her other could she say two werent the best and well anything would be better than them. The thin english vamp ran a hand through her light blonde hair smiling to herself she sang a little tune, the pretty tune was a haunting one and sad one too her mother had taught her long ago. The song she was humming was composed by mozart the song being lacrymosa.

Wearing a white summer dress with jeans underneath she strode through the woods at a gentle pace taking in all the sites and all the beauty of the forest. It was really pretty she stopped to climb a large oak tree to get her bearings, Emma didn't have a good sense of direction she could get lost in a supermarket and that was no lie. She smiled at the memory she must have looked so idiotic to the human security guard when she'd asked for directions.

Pushing the thought from her mind she looked out of the canopy and her smile fell when the sunlights rays caught her skin, it began to shimmer like a million diamonds she watched it interested for a moment before letting herself fall backwards from the top of the tree, before hitting the ground she grabbed a branch and steadied herself before falling to on her feet and dusting off her clothes.

She caught site of a little trail, with a curious mind for adventure as Emma had, she followed it, going through the different twists and turns of the undergrowth. till the ground flattened out revealing a meadow. She smiled to herself as she gazed at its beauty pushing back a branch she stepped forward letting soft foot falls of the ballet flats she was wearing shift through the grass, with light grace she avoided the pretty flowers that were dotted around keeping her gaze on the grass till she spotted something interesting.
Another vampire, it was a girl she was sitting amongst the grass and staring at her with a seeming questioning glance.

Emma bit her pale pink lips before sending a friendly smile over to her and a little wave had she stumbled across her territory if she had she was truly sorry.

"S-sorry i didn't know anyone else was here" she said softly to the girl.
"I didn't mean to intrude, I-I'm Emma" she said timidly.

[Bella Swan]

Bella caught sight of the young woman almost instantly; she slowly stood, keeping her eyes fixed on the new visitor. Bella didn't want a fight but she knew she could handle one if the need came to be. Bella could see from where she stood that the girl didn't have the crimson eyes and this made her curious. It wasn't common for vampires to adopt the vegetarian life-style, and she knew it was hard from person experience. Bella now understood Jasper's struggle with it and she forgave him once more for what happened on her birthday, even though she had forgiven him the same moment it happened.

That all seemed like water under the bridge now, and Bella shook herself from the memories as she watched the new-comer. "You didn't intrude on much, I was just thinking back. I'm Bella.. it's nice to meet you Emma. I'm sorry if I seem startled but you see I'm not used to seeing another vegetarian vampire." If she still could have, Bella would have blushed, "I mean a vampire that lives off of animals. My family calls it vegetarian living, as a joke." She also knew that her own eyes weren't the caramel color quite yet, but more of a weird mix of the crimson and the caramel. "If you don't mind me asking, where did you come from?"

Taking a slow step forward, Bella's vampire mind quickly took in all the aspects of the situation and deduced that she'd be alright for the time being, to see what this new vampires intentions were. With Victoria and James still out there, Bella wasn't very trusting of nomads, and she had no clue if this girl in front of her had powers; sometimes Bella wished she had the ability to tell what other vampire's powers were. She often thought that would be a hell of a power to have. She had once told that to Emmett and he had agreed with a hearty 'hell yeah!' to which she had laughed.

[Athenadora Volturi]

Athenadora watched closely. Normally she would never leave Cauis' side but this was of important matters. She had to tell Bella about her beloved Edward. She smirked at this. She was in a tree just on the outskirts of the meadow. Suddenly her Volturi pendant slipped from her neck and fell to the floor. "Damn." she muttered. She didnt want to move as there was another Vampire out there and Caius wasnt her to watch her back. She stayed as quiet as possible and watch even closer though the smell of Bella was moth watering she kept her distance.

[Emma Auralias]

Emma offered a relieved smile she was glad she hadn’t intruded because that would have been very rude.
“Its nice to meet you to Bella” said Emma in her soft spoken voice “and that’s quite alright I haven’t met many others either” she admitted sheepishly a little smile replaying across her lips as Bella said vegetarian vampire it was a cute nickname for them. “Family?” asked Emma in a curious tone of voice “you mean there’s more of you?” she said her smile growing, she hadn’t met many other vampires due to where she’d come from. It was sad really. Emma noticed that Bella’s eyes where a mix between red and the golden caramel colour hers were. So that meant Bella was either a new born or she’d tried human blood.

Bella seemed nervous about something, it was understandable though, if some random girl approached Emma in the woods she’d be cautious too. Emma was harmless but Bella didn’t know that so she had every right to be a little nervous about her being there. She was brought out of her thoughts when Bella asked her where she’d came from.

“O-oh I’m from England, I travelled here not to long ago, I’ve just been passing through places recently until I came here, but I can go if this is your territory” said Emma softly, she would go if she was asked it wouldn’t be fair if she came along and butted in another covens home.

Something dropped from a nearby tree, Darting her gaze over it was a pendant. Pendants didn’t normally fall from the sky at random so some one else was here.

“are you here with some one?” Emma asked Bella as her gaze travelled back to Bella and then back to the pendant.

[Athenadora Volturi]

Athenadora jumped out of her tree to retireve the necklace. "No shes not here with anyone." Athenadora growled. Her beautiful face had a scowl on it and her long blonde hair blew in a light airy breeze. "Im Anthenadora Volturi. Cauis has sent me." she said. Her eyes went dreamy as she mentioned her mate's name. She looked at the two girls. Which one of you is Miss Bella Marie Swan?" she asked. "I have something to tell her of the most highest importance. Its about Mr Edward Cullen." she smiled. She put her necklace back around her slender pale neck. "I would normally be here with the rest of my Coven but Aro, Marcus and my dearest Cauis have stayed in Italy to keep an eye on Mr Cullen." she said. Her blood red eyes shone with a nasty glee. She laughed harshly. As she laughed her perfectly white, straight teeth showed. "Now where is Miss Swan?" she asked. She didnt like asking twice and if she had to do so again she would attack without warning anyone.

[Bella Swan]

Bella laughed at the girls question of whether there was more of them. "Yes, the Cullens. They live not too far away from here. All together there are eight of us, though I'm the newest." She almost cringed at that sentence. Bella hated being the newborn. But of course, that being the case she was more able to take care of herself. Especially since she had been training in fighting with Emmett and Jasper. Though she thought Emmett was a little more enthusiastic to kick her butt then Jasper was.

Gathering her thoughts back to herself, Bella opened her mouth to answer the other girl about this being her territory when Emma asked her another question, which again she couldn't answer without someone answering first. Bella's head snapped in the direction the other voice had come from and a low growl escaped her throat at the sight of the Volturi Wife. A hiss was followed shortly after it when Athenadora mentioned Edward. Why the hell was Edward in Italy. He had no reason to be. The Cullens were trying to stay from the radar of the Volturi, why would he go there intentionally? "I'm Bella Swan. What is it that you wish to speak to me about?"

Staying where she was, Bella watched the other woman very carefully. Ready to protect herself if it was necessary. She began wishing that Jasper was here by her side and that just this once, she had to power of telepathy. It seriously sucked having a power that wasn't great, unless in battle. Bella shifted out of human habit but her eyes and senses remained on the Volturi wife.

[Athenadora Volturi]

"Your mate Jasper Hale." said Athenadora. She looked at Bella with cold unblinking eyes. She smiled a fake smile and walked over to Bellas and circled her. "You are not strong without him are you." she laughed. The laugh was like birdsong. She looked around. "where is he?" she growled. She was going to start threating her soon if she didnt cooperate. "You have five minutes to tell me where he is or I kill right here and now." she said.

[Emma Auralias]

Emma was glad to here there were other vampires here it was a nice thought to know that she wouldn't be starting here alone, and perhaps befriending them would be a good move to.

With curious golden eyes Emma stared at the women, she had red eyes, pale skin and the grace of a vampire. which was obviously what she was. But something didn't feel right, she had a cold aura about her, a dark one too...

Bella seemed unerved too and Emma began to get the feeling the this woman was not a welcomed presence Bella had growled at her too, Perhaps she was a threat. She didn't seem friendly, and even though Emma didn't know Bella that well if she had to pick a side in this little face off she'd pick Bella's though Emma wasn't a good fighter in fact she was pretty weak for a vampire. If she had someone to help her train she'd be glad as the last scrape she'd gotten herself int han't worked well in Emma's favour. She rubbed absent mindedly at the fading bruise that a nomadic vampire had caused all to eargerly.

It was sad really that some people had to resort to violence so easily Emma pitted them more then hated them they obviously didn't understand how to act civilized.
