This is the sequel you all have been waiting for. I don't own these characters except for Giovanni (YAY) Stephanie Meyer owns them.
I ran up to my room as fast as I could and just decided to think. I knew for a fact I loved Alec, but Giovanni he keeps pulling me in and I've only known him for less than 24 hours. With Edward, Felix, and Demetri I ended it knowing without a fact that I could never love them like I loved Alec, but now that his brother's here I don't know what to do. I'm such a horrible person.
I laid on my bed keeping up this train of thought. I don't know how long I stayed there but I heard a knock on my door, it was Aro. I went back and sat on my bed and he sat next to me.
"Are you okay, darling?" He asked in a fatherly way.
"I'm alright." I tried to say giving him a slight smile.
"Isabella, you've been sobbing here for hours."
"But no tears came out this time." I said puzzled.
"It is one of your powers, you're more human when you drink blood oddly enough, if you look in the mirror your eyes are no longer brown, but that is besides the point I know something is wrong, and I thought perhaps you'd like to talk about it."
"Are we gonna talk about boys, dad?" (I had to add this from the twilight movie, even though I hate it) I said smiling at his attempt to comfort me.
"I guess so, now what's on your mind?"
"I think, no I know I love Alec, but Giovanni he keeps drawing me in closer and that's only after a couple of hours."
"It is no secret that I have distaste for Alec but I see the way he looks at you, he cares for you deeply, but you do owe Giovanni a chance not only for him but for you. If you don't you'll always what if. Give Giovanni a chance or maybe a couple of chances, then make your decision." Aro said sincerely.
"Is the reason you're saying give him a couple of chances because you like him better than Alec?" I asked seeing partly into his intentions.
He looked flustered "Well… no… but… that is neither here nor there! I'm just saying a chance can't hurt."
I giggle then kissed him on the cheek "Thanks dad, I feel a lot better."
"Anytime, sweet heart" Aro then kissed me on the cheek and walked out.
I felt a lot lighter because of the conversation, and decided as soon as Alec and his brother came back from hunting I'll explain what I'm feeling, and hopefully they'll both understand. I changed into a yellow sundress, waiting for their scents to get close to the wall. They came back at around 4 p.m. I walked down to the entrance to greet them. When they walked in I was surprised to see them look spotless and clean. I grabbed Alec's hand and ran to the highest point of the castle, there was a balcony and I sat down and Alec sat down next to me.
Before he could say anything I kissed him, trying to tell him everything with my lips he responded back quickly and deepened the kiss. After a minute or so we pulled away, and I looked at him hoping what I say next won't ruin our relationship.
"Alec, we need to talk." I told him hesitantly.
"What about?" He seemed to be in a panic.
"Well you know I care for you deeply right?" he simply nodded his head as I spoke again "You know I would never purposefully hurt you right?" he was nodding feverishly "Even though I care for you, I realize that I care for Giovanni too, and to be fair to him and myself I think maybe we should just see if we worked together." I squeezed my eyes shut and waited for the screaming.
"I understand." He said quietly looking down. "I know that you're my brother mate too, and it would be unfair if you didn't give him a chance, and you want to be sure to make the right choice."
I hugged him with all my might and whispered "Thank you." He kissed me on my fore head and got up before I ran to Giovanni I turned and said to Alec "this doesn't mean I don't love you." He smiled at that and stared at the city from 200 feet up.
I ran down to the entrance where Giovanni and Jane were still talking. I walked over to them at human speed. "Um, Giovanni if you aren't busy right now do you want to go for a walk."
Giovanni looked at Jane pleadingly, and she nodded her head. "Sure, let's go." He said smiling at me, he took my hand and I lead him towards the back of the castle. "Where are we going?" he asked.
"Well, on my second day being in Volterra I found out we have a garden and I was so busy I didn't get to see it yet, so I was thinking maybe we could take a walk through it." I explained he just nodded his head in understanding. When we reached two golden doors we pushed them open and on the other side was the most beautiful garden ever.
There was a huge circle of rosebushes on the outer part of the garden; there was a space to pass through into the inner garden. In the inner garden there were tulips, lilies, daisies, and anything and everything in between. There was a huge fountain in the exact middle of everything, and a few benches very close to it. I most of looked like an idiot with my eyes huge and mouth ajar.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" Giovanni asked with the same expression on his face as me.
"It certainly is, do you want to sit down?"
"Sure, why not?"
I sat next to him and enjoyed the sun before he decided to start a conversation.
"Bella, how old are?"
"Eighteen." I replied automatically.
He chuckled. "No, I mean since you became a vampire."
"Oh, umm, about four days old"
"Really? Then how come you're not out of control, and blood crazy like other newborns?" he asked seeming genuinely interested.
"Well, blood doesn't really appeal to me and I guess I'm just weird." As soon as I said this a vision hit me.
Vision
Giovanni and I were in the woods and it was sunset. He looked at me and said "That's how it happened, Bella, I'm a horrible person."
"No you're not, never say that!" I told him with my hands on his chest looking into his eyes.
"Yes I am it's all my fault they're dead now they can't have normal lives because I was being selfish." He yelled looking up at the sky.
"It's not your fault it would've happened anyway." I tried to tell him.
"Bella it's no use trying to convince me, I lived with this guilt for so long. The real reason I came to the Volturi was to ask for death because monsters like me should be dead." He said coldly still looking up.
"Listen to me, I know you're not a horrible person or a monster because I wouldn't be able to care for someone like that, and I care about you. Secondly, don't you ever dare try to take yourself away from me." I said forcing him to look at me. Then something I didn't expect to happen did. We kissed.
End Vision
"Bella, Bella are you okay?" Giovanni asked waving a hand in front of my face, I felt him rolling off waves of anxiety and worry.
"Oh, I'm sorry I just had a vision." I explained.
"You have visions/" he asked.
Then I told him my whole story explaining everything starting from when Edward came back after leaving me. He just sat there and nodded every so often. After I was done he had a blank face taking everything in. He was angry at Edward for leaving me and refusing to see me when I was bitten.
"You know what Bella you deserve so much better than him, I'm glad you broke off the engagement. You deserve a man who will always love you and never leave your side." He said looking into my eyes.
I looked back into his and felt as though I could see his soul through his crimson orbs. "Thank you." I said breathlessly. I couldn't believe he was dazzling me but he was. I leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. "Come on let's go it's getting dark." I continued jumping up from the bench. It really was dark it was probably around 9 p.m. now. He jumped up too and put his arms around my shoulders. He walked me up to my room, I was about to go in but then I turned around and said something he wasn't expecting. "You aren't a monster, you know." Then I turned and walked in my room closing the door slowly.
Okay first chapter. Tell me what you think, and by the way Bella is still conflicted.
