All or Nothing

disclaimer for the whole story- I own nothing! Nothing at all from the Twilight series, I simply and just borrowing the character. However, I do own this plot (as far as I know.)

Also, there are a few similar/same lines from New Moon. Yes, that's what happens when you have a remix sometimes.

Bella POV

I could feel myself quiver slightly as I stared into the cold, crimson eyes.

Yes, they stood out perfectly against his somehow chalky looking skin.

I had yet to decide if he was beautiful.

His features were perfect, but his skin was somehow translucent looking, making him look sick.

His jet-black hair was hidden beneath the seams of the dark cloak revealing only his face and a few smudges of his hair.

"Ah, Jane you have returned, and what a surprise you have brought me." He greeted the small, angelic looking vampire who seemed to scare people. He kissed both her cheeks lightly and returned to his chair in the back, center of the room, as if he were in charge.

"Yes master, I brought him back alive. Funny how I run into Alice and Bella as well." Her tone scared me, as if expecting some sort of reward. It sent a shiver through my body which Edward didn't miss.

My jaw dropped when she called me by my name, as if she already knew me somehow.

"Ah yes, Jane. You have never let me down yet." He rewarded her, making her smile brightly as if she were a child who just got a toy.

"Alice and Bella! Now this is a good day for me." He didn't hide his rejoicing.

I stared at him, an expression of shock on my face. And he knew me as well?

He then turned his attention to our escort.

"Felix, go and inform my brothers of our company. I'm sure they wouldn't want to miss this."

Miss what? I bit back a small cry.

"Of course, master." Felix told him with a bow, as he disappeared down a small, dark corridor.

The strange vampire turned and looked at Edward again, who still had not let go of my waist. "You see Edward? What did I tell you? I was sure everything would be fine. Aren't you happy with me?" He asked

"Yes, I'm very happy, Aro." He said between clenched teeth.\

"Now, Alice, tell me everything. Why is Bella standing here today? Your brother seemed sure that your vision was correct. Explain to me." He asked fondly, as he turned his gaze to Alice, who looked unaffected by the sudden attention.

"Well, obviously my brother was mistaken." She turned to glare at Edward before turning back to Aro. "I'm far from correct. As you see, I'm not the most reliable." Her voice was like tiny bells ringing as she flashed him a dazzling smile that only lasted for so long when Aro interrupted.

"Oh, you're much too modest! Edward has shown me many times that you've been quite correct. I must admit, I very much so am in awe. You're so very talented! That's perfect!"

Alice quickly gave another small glare to Edward, which Aro didn't miss either.

He smiled reassuringly. "I do apologize for the misunderstanding. I share a power very much like Edward's. However, I can only hear thoughts from a touch." he explained calmly

"But you hear every thought anyone has ever thought." Edward reminded him.

"Ah, yes," Aro agreed lightly, "But from a distance, that is a gift." He shot back

"There are distance limitations."

"Yet still. How very convenient!" Aro was clearly done fighting with Edward.

Everyone turned their head to the corridor that Felix had exited, I quickly copied.

Felix, along with two other black cloaked vampires floated through. One with similar hair to Aro, the other with white hair that made me feel all cold inside.

All their faces were identical to that from the picture of Carlisle's.

"Ah yes, Marcus, Caius, I very nearly forgot about you. Look who has showed up!" Aro motioned to Alice, Edward, and I.

Marcus and Caius tensed up. They were clearly expecting something more interesting.

The snow-white haired one floated over to where Aro was sitting, and touched his tingers to Aro's palm lightly.

They stood there briefly, before the white haired one pulled away.

Edward lifted his eyebrow, and Alice stared at Aro curiously. I was sure my expression mirrored her's, except not quite as beautiful.

"How very kind of you Marcus." He shifted in his chair to stare at me, as if trying to figure out something about me. "Unbelievable, completly amazing." Was all he said.

I stared up at Edward, as did Alice and half the vampires in the room. "Marcus sees relationships. He's surprised at the intensity of our's." He spoke, mostly to me, gently.

That's when I realized Marcus was sharing his thoughts with Aro.

Funny, Marcus didn't look very interested. He glided back by Caius.

"I just don't really get it. It must be so very difficult for you. How can you stand to be so close to her?" Aro mused lightly, giving a meaningful look at Edward's arm wrapped securly around my waist.

"It's not without effort." Edward assured him, practically a growl.

"I mean, la tua cantante! Such a waste like that. But I suppose you are of Carlisle's coven." He sounded dazed, as if speaking in a dream. "I mean, I smelled her through your memories. I've never seen anyone's blood so tempting, such a loud singer. I wouldn't stand it! You're so very strong!" He said fondly, still in his dream-like stance.

He sighed lightly as he sat back in his throne-like chair as if considering a matter.

Edward's growls slowely subsided when he figured out that Aro had relaxed. He still had not seized his tense position as he moved, blocking me from Jane, her small and angelic smile mocking him, as if thinking she could overpower him for some reason.

Alice had now placed herself directly between me and a boy who showed a freaky resemblance to Jane, in a threatening position, as if daring him to try something.

I shivered again, thinking about why that may be necessary.

I had trouble ripping my eyes away from Edward.

He was even more godly than I remembered. I stood there drinking him in, forgetting about the horrifying fact that He would soon leave again anyways, sending me back in my zombie state... If we survived this.

But all that mattered was that he was here.

For now.

However, the dead silence was killing me.

A handful of eyes were staring at me from the pale, red-eyed, perfect-featured vampires around me, as if trying to find out why I was so special, and the easiest way to get to me.

This wasn't the first time I had been told how edible I smelled.

Aro finally cleared his throat, making me jump slightly.

Edward shifted his glare back to Aro.

Aro tapped his long, slim, pale fingers on his chin before speaking.

He was completly oblivious to Edward's obvious grudge.

Aro shifted his stare to mine, looking me over as if I was a trophy.

"And here we have, now... The fascinating Bella." He greeted me, speaking to me for the first time. "I've been told that you're quite special."
