"ISABELLA MARIE VOLTURI!" Crap I am in trouble and do not even know what I did yet. Wait I do know I sort of painted Uncle Aro's study bright pink. Here I am 13 years old surrounded by vampires. I found out when I was 6 years old when I realized they never ate with me. "YOU BETTER BE IN HERE IN 2 MINUTES BEFORE I SEND JANE!" Jane won't do anything she helped paint the room too thinking it was the best way to work him up. What I didn't expect was my father to find me and throw me over his shoulder.

"What did you do now princess?" I giggled at him.

"I sort of painted his study bright pink. Sorry those grey walls were all so drab and out like years ago." He chuckled at it. "Daddy seriously Uncle Aro has been uptight lately and I thought maybe it would cheer him up. He hasn't been the same since Aunt Pica went on her vacation."

"I know trust me I know. Tell him you will repaint the room and apologize please. Also we have some visitors coming soon who are friends with us or actually just their coven leader. They won't hurt you and I think you might like them." We arrived in the throne room with Uncle Aro pacing around his chair.

"Uncle Aro I am sorry for painting your study. I will paint it back to the way it was. I just thought you needed to get cheered up." I heard gasps from behind me and I guess our visitors were a bit early.

"It is alright. Welcome Cullen family you are early. Let me introduce you to Isabella she is Caius's daughter."

"Nice to meet you, Isabella." The guy with the blond hair greeted me and even scooped down to my level. "My name is Carlisle and this is my family who would like to introduce themselves to you." I heard that name before he was the one father and Uncles made friends with.

"Nice to meet you also Carlisle. I finally realize who you are from father talking about you from your time here." I shook his hand.

"I'm Esme and Carlisle is my husband. Nice to meet you." I liked her she reminded me of my mother.

"I'm Emmett. Nice to meet you kiddo." He hugged me.

"Too tight need to breath human." He laughed.

"I'm Rosalie or call me Rose. The big buffoon here is my husband." She hugged me lightly. They are huggers.

"I'm Edward please to meet you." He took my hand and placed a kiss on it. I blushed immediately.

"I'm Alice and I think I can see us becoming friends. Also Edward is my husband." She reminded me of a fairy or pixie for some reason.

"Lastly I am Jasper." He bowed to me and also took my hand and kissed it. "Nice to meet you darling." I felt something I could not explain when he touched me. It sent a shiver throughout my body.

Carlisle spoke up. "How did Isabella come here to be with you?"

Daddy spoke up to answer him. "Her mother was researching her family history and had a lead here in Italy. At the time she did not know she was pregnant with Isabella here. My family had grown over the years and I never knew it. Renee her mother was in our library one afternoon looking over some records. Marcus pulled me aside to tell me she had a familial bond to me. He told me that we were relatives. Isabella here was my last surviving blood line after Renee. We converted the library for the city to use. All vampire lore and everything else, is now in a personal library."

"Where is her mother now?" That's when I started to sob.

"Sorry Bells it needs to be said." I shook my head and sat down on his lap. He started rubbing circles on my back. "When she found out she was indeed pregnant, I took her here to take care of all her needs. Isabella's biological father had passed away in the line duty back in Forks." I heard gasps again from them. "I think about a month after getting to know her we explained what we are and we would not harm her in anyway. She was protected because she was of my bloodline. I was her uncle many times over since my sister and brother survived. She had an easy going pregnancy all the way up until her water broke. Once the doctor got Isabella out she ended up losing a lot of blood. The doctor could not stop it and she passed away three hours later. One of the guards found her will sitting on her dresser stating if anything happened to her I would get custody of Isabella here. Do you understand now why she is here?"

"Yes we do and Isabella I am so sorry for your loss. One thing I think I might know who her father was. We were living in Forks at the time. I met both your parents at one point. Renee was the local kindergarten teacher and your father was chief of police. His name was Charlie I really do not recall his last name. I do know they tried for years to have a child." I looked shocked they actually knew my biological parents.

"Thank you for telling me that. At least I know now his name at least. In my heart Caius and Athenadora will always be my parents. They raised me well and I do have a choice of living my human life out or get changed when the time comes." My stomach started growling and I heard chuckles coming from everyone. "I take this as my cue to go eat. Talk to you all later." I jumped off daddy's lap and started to run to the door.

"Mind if I join you?" Jasper asked of me. Daddy nodded yes so I guess I will have a guest for dinner.

"Sure if you give me a lift we will be there faster." He crouched down and I wrapped my arms and legs around him. "Just tell me the way there." I gave him the directions towards the kitchen.

Carlisle POV

"Caius she changed you in many ways. It is a good thing and I see the changes in the others also."

"Isabella changed all her lives from the time she was in the womb. Her mother started them and she continued in her place. As you can tell things are interesting around here. She was just getting lectured about painting Aro's office when you arrived." He chuckled at this. "Aro and Bella like to get at each other throats. They push each other buttons a lot. I will find them some days arguing about literature or even about trivial things of our history."

"I noticed she is a bright girl and I could even see it. One thing Marcus what is her line to Jasper. There is something there I can't put my finger on."

"Caius stay calm please. Jasper and Isabella are soul mates. I think they will not do anything but be more than friends until she gets older. Bells is unique she has so many bonds to people since she loves everyone no matter what. We think it is part of her gift. Edward, could you read her mind?" I looked over to my eldest son.

"No I could not sir. She is unique as a human and I never experienced complete silence before its relaxing."

"My daughter holds a mental shield we believe that will manifest more as she grows older. Aro noticed around the time she was 9 he could no longer read her. Jane and Alec have no effect on her either. Do not worry they tried one day when she caught them off guard by dumping water over them." We all heard a scream and took off down the hall to the kitchen.

Once we got there Jasper had a nomad torn apart already. The look on his face told me his major side came out. The major recognized Isabella as his mate also. He had her on his lap comforting her and I could his purr.

"Jasper it is alright I am fine. You stopped him please come back to me." She was touching his face gently and I saw his eyes were slowing turning back to their golden state. "You protected me from him and kept me safe. Please let the major go back to into his cage. Your family needs you and so do I you're my best friend." I heard sighs of relief around me.

Caius was whispering in my ear. "Are you telling me that Jasper is the Major from the southern wars?"

"Yes. I only seen him once when we were attacked one day by some newborns. I also think he recognized her as his mate."

"I understand that and I think it will take time to get use to this. I do not want to lose my daughter just yet."

"Caius you won't and I think it might be the other way around. Jasper might want to stay here now since their connection is very strong."

I looked over to them and he had let her go. Bella was still watching him in fascination. I did not notice Athenadora here comforting Caius. The others walked away to give them time together. Demetri, Felix, Alec, and Jane took the nomad away with orders from Aro to put him back together to question him.

"Jasper do you know Peter and Charlotte?" I heard her whisper to him.

"Yes I do sweetie they are my brother and sister. How do you know them?" I looked at Caius and he nodded his head.

"They are her great great grandparents on her father's side. Peter is related to her by blood also." Athenadora told me and I nodded my head. She was special if she was finding actual blood relatives in the vampire world. I really think she did belong in this world.

She started talking again to him. "They are my great great grandparents from my father's side of the family. Do not too shocked you already know I am related to Caius. Come on I want to show you some things since the adults want to play spies." Wow she is perspective to others around her. "I can tell all of you are standing there. As you can see Jasper kept me safe and daddy please don't kill him he may be my mate. I know I am too young but I know. For now he will be my best friend and nothing else. I want to go to college and stuff before I even consider becoming like you."

They took off in directions of the gardens. I think my family will have to come to a decision of leaving here or staying.

"Carlisle I do have one favor of you. Is there a chance when she is a bit older to let her stay with you? Dora and I here think she needs to have some human experiences like high school. Though, she has already tested out of high school about a month ago. She is a really smart girl always wanting to learn things."

"Will she be okay with it? I would say let her go around the age of 16 so she will be in the same grades of my adopted children. She can always come back during school breaks or you come there." Dora was patting his arm to calm him down.

"Yes I will be okay for some time. In all honesty I don't want to let her go but she needs this. All her human interactions have been with some of our workers around the castle. We tried sending her to school here and she hated it because of the kids teasing her."

"I will be honored to have her. I do think it will best if you talk to her about this. It will make it easier for her to understand."

"Thank you Carlisle. We will talk to her once she isn't so wrapped up with Jasper." Dora told me and giggled. "Honey you know we have to let her go at some point." He looked shocked at her statement.

"Actually let me grab my family we need to hunt. Where would of Isabella taken Jasper?"

"I think she went to Aro's study. He left her paint supplies in there to cover her lovely artwork from earlier." I think this is the first time I actually seen Dora out of her chambers walking freely around the castle. Come to think of it I have seen all the wives so far today.

Even though I have not been in this castle in centuries I found Aro's study with no problem. I found Aro sitting in a chair in the hallway across from his office. It was an odd sight he watching his study.

"Aro how are you doing old friend?"

"Not so bad but my study is becoming an art project for Isabella every few months." I took a peek in sight and saw the pink now being covered with a shade a cream.

"I can see. She actually has Jasper helping or I mean doing her dirty work." He laughed at that.

"Yes she has him wrapped around her finger already. I can tell Caius and Dora asked you about Bella staying with you."

"Yes they have and I was going to take them hunting to discuss it. I think I can let Jasper stay here and fill him in later. He went hunting yesterday morning before our flight so he is good for a while."

"Enjoy the forest you use to hunt in is still around. We had secured the land when they tried to make it into a shopping center about 20 years ago."

I left and grabbed my family to go hunting. We will have a meeting before we go off separate ways to hunt.

Jasper POV

I actually found my mate after all these years. Isabella was a wonderful young woman and I knew I would have to wait for her to be of age. I knew for a fact I would wait for her. When that nomad came into the kitchen the Major came out to protect what was his. He never saw me coming and tearing him apart in an instant. Peter and Charlotte will be coming here to probably within a day or so from the text I had gotten from Peter. What shocked me was Isabella was actually related to the fucker. I got over the shock of Caius being her father. I knew when I touched her she was my mate. The connection was instant and she told me while she was in the kitchen she knew I was something to her. It took that nomad trying to attack she placed the pieces together I was her mate.

"Isabella I want to ask you about something."

"Go ahead I won't bite." She giggled at me.

"Do you know when if you decide to become a vampire will be?"

"Actually now that I know you are it for me probably after I finish college. I would also agree to being changed if I was in a life ending accident. I told my family the same thing if in a life ending accident to change me. If I stayed safe I will decide to stay human or change when I felt it was time." She stopped painting and looked around the room seeing it was done except where she stood. "I so should keep this spot pink.

"You will not finish it. I will make you learn Latin if you don't" She huffed and I laughed at her. I felt something wet dripping down my face. She actually got paint on me.

"Fine but Uncle Aro can I paint a mural on the wall please. Remember that picture you liked that I drew you I think it will fit well in here." She pointed out the picture frame on the desk.

"You drew that?"

"Yes it is one of my hobbies. My room was done recently to make tastes. There is a mural also in my father's office and one in Uncle Marcus's. It keeps me out of my trouble making. You might want to clean up you sort of have paint on your face." She giggled and then realized she finished her painting. I never got her back either. I walked out and found her arguing with Aro in Italian. I caught pieces something about Peter going to get overprotective over her. He just laughed at her. "Fine but if he goes overbearing I will have Jasper rip his arm off. Better yet something I know for a fact Char will miss." Aro cupped himself. "Well that what you get for not locking your door. You scarred me for life that was not something I want to see my uncle doing. I still think it was funny auntie actually did it."

I be damned she is the devil in disguise. "Jasper, stay on her good side. She seems so sweet but piss her off you're in for it. You look lost she went to her room to change. Demetri gave her a lift."

"Thank you and I will remember that. I should go clean up and meet up with her." He waved me off. I found the chambers my family was at and headed in to shower and change. I went down to the kitchen to cook her dinner and found Caius in there.

"Jasper let's talk before she gets here. I know you two are mates and my permission is granted as long as you two stay friends until she is of age. My wife threatened me and made me realize I could not stop it." My mouth was hanging open. "Don't be too shocked. Peter and Char will be here in the morning you just have to convince them. I know you had a rough time with Maria and I do know the Cullen's showed you a better life."

"Thank you, sir. She is wonderful young woman and I plan to stay her friend until she is ready. Did you know Alice had a vision that brought us here?"

"I did not and what was the vision if I may ask?"

"She told us that we all had to come and I would meet my mate. I was a little skeptical because sometimes her visions are not always correct. It shocked me that my mate is so young and still human at first. Now I am actually happy and content for the first time completely in my life."

"Yes and I can feel it outpouring from you. Though, you might to tune it down some Jasper. I feel like girl wanting to jump up and down from happiness."

"Sorry didn't realize I was projecting so much. She really brought out a side I never felt."

"I also want to say thank you for protecting her. That was the first time a nomad actually wondered in the castle without our knowledge. Thankfully Gianna was visiting her mother in the hospital today. She is our receptionist during the day and knows what we are."

"You are quite welcome. I do know you still have him alive if I am correct. What is going to be done with him?"

"We will have a trial and also to see who sent him here. Her dinner is done she should be here shortly with Dora. We will let you two have some peace. After she is in bed come to my study we will talk more." Dora and Isabella came in.

"Come Dora let's leave them be for a while. By the way Demetri and Felix are patrolling this hallway." I nodded to both of them while Isabella hugged and kissed both of them. Her love was outpouring for the two of them.

We discussed more about her upbringing her in the castle. She told me about how if she tried to make human friends they would ignore her. Alec and Jane were her best friends since they were close to her human age when they were changed. She told me Aro and Demetri saved them from burning in a fire accused of being witches at the age of 14. I found out Peter and Charlotte had been in her live since she was an infant. By the time I realized it she was yawning when I saw it was nearly midnight I carried her back to her room. I laid her down and covered her up with her blanket. I sent her some lethargy to send her into a peaceful sleep.

Caius POV

When Jasper came into my study he did shut off his emotions. We talked about everything and I found out about his past. We had lost track of time when I heard Peter's loud ass mouthed coming from somewhere close. Charlotte was telling him to shut up so he wouldn't wake up Isabella. Jasper and I shot up and followed the sounds of them right into the throne room.

"You now Captain there is a human here sleeping and your big damn mouth might have just waken her up." Jasper had him in a headlock. "Are you going to be quiet or go I have to make you?"

"Yes major I will be quiet. Nice to see you too man. My granddaughter your mate huh now?" He was taunting him on purpose now.

"Fucker yes now stop it damn I haven't seen in 15 years and you pull this stunt. Now are you going to give me the third degree of being her mate?"

"No man I am cool with it and all. I know you will do the right thing and wait for her. You do know her birthday is in three days." Shit I forgot about that. She still wanted a pet for some unknown reason. I was told no fish since they were boring. She wanted a dog or a cat. Emmett came into the throne room with a puppy in his hands. This dog had no clue that he was surrounded by vampires.

"What the hell is that thing doing in here?" Aro asked a bit annoyed.

"Well we were walking back and this pup here would not leave us alone. I even growled at her and she wouldn't budge. Alice says it is a pug and she is out buying things for it."

He let the puppy down he the thing ran around the room jumping at people to get attention. She was cute and I knew for a fact Isabella well go nuts about it. I heard her giggling in the hallway along with Rosalie. No use of hiding the dog now.

"Oh my god you actually got me a dog." She picked up the little thing and hugged it. "Thank you and she is cute too. I thought animals were afraid of you guys."

Emmett laughed loudly. "This little girl would not leave us alone. She followed us back here. Happy Birthday, Bellsy."

Great a dog now this shall be interesting. "Aren't you going to say hello to your grandparents?" She did not even notice they were here because of the thing. She ran to them and Peter picked her and swung her around.

"Miss you little muffin. We both did and could not miss your 14th birthday."

"I missed you too gramps and Char." He growled at her and she stuck her tongue out. "Why I am I gramps and she's Char?"

"Well it is that or bonehead. I like gramps better. Maybe when I am older I'll call you Peter. Like daddy and mom will always be that no matter how old I am." That is right baby girl she will always be our daughter.

"Fine but aren't you excited turning 14. I brought you a few presents that you will have to wait for." Ugh his presents are usually the ones that we knew would probably make her get in trouble. "Caius do not worry they are innocent gifts this time Charlotte picked them." I blew out an unnecessary breath of air.

"Yes I am excited and I think I can wait the puppy is enough for now. Thank you Emmett and daddy thank you for allowing it to stay. Uncle Aro drop that face it might get stuck there. Daddy can we talk and I need mom also I want to ask you something." I knew it was coming shortly.

"Of course let's go to the kitchen your mother is there already making you food." I grab her hand and the puppy followed us.

"She yelled back gramps and Jas I will talk to you all later."

Walking to the kitchen I glanced over to her a few times and from the face she was giving she was thinking. She went and sat down at the table. Dora had found something to feed the dog and give it water.

"Daddy and mom will get mad if I say I want to experience human things. I've been thinking of wanting to go to high school next year."

"Actually dear we were thinking the same thing. We talked to Carlisle about you going to stay with them for high school. They would like it if you feel comfortable enough to stay with them. The condition would be you will come back to us on school breaks to visit. We can even come to them too to visit."

"Yes I would love to and when can I? I know if I go now I would be put into freshman year. Will you be okay with it? I feel a bit nervous if I do not fit in."

"Yes we will be okay with it princess and if you do not like it you could always come back here." I hugged my daughter but knew it was time for her to experience her teenage years through high school. "We all would miss you but the bigger picture is you will have real world experiences."

"Thank you and I think we should tell the Cullen's. I would like to start off as a freshman and maybe Alice could start over there also." I heard a throat clear behind us.

"I would love for you to come stay with us. We are moving to upstate New York to start fresh again. Myself and Edward will be starting school this year again. The others are waiting a year to join us in school. I will be starting as a freshman because I saw you wanted to be with one of us. Edward is going to be in tenth grade." My daughter got up and hugged her.

"Alice, thank you so much. Daddy and mom is this going to be okay?"

"Of course we still have a few weeks before they leave. I know Esme and your mother are going to go over to set up your room there. It is still August so you have time to settle things." She kissed me and then her little dog started barking not liking she was paying attention to me. "What are you going to name the dog?"

"Ah I am think Ditzy sort of fits. Alright I need to get to my room to shower and change." She walked away with little Ditzy following her trail.

"Caius and Athenadora you are making the right choice. My visions I have gotten have become clearer over the past day we have been here. She will be safe when she is with us. If I tell you something do not tell her or Jasper."

"Okay."

"She will be changed around the age of 22. I see her staying human and attending college here in Italy. The vision also shows of a wedding between them and she is still human. After that it goes dark and fuzzy. This usually means that her change is after the wedding. Jasper will not claim her until then."

"Thank you Alice well I am off to find Esme and book some flights. Pica and Didyme are back from Paris shopping maybe they will join us. Love you Caius. We are doing the right thing so knock that scowl off your face." She leaned to kiss me.

Bella POV

I am officially joining to be going to high school in the United States and I am super excited. Mom was very supportive of the decision. Daddy is supportive but might have trouble letting me go. I finished my shower and changed to go find the others. Walking out of my room I swept away. I realized it was gramps.

"Damn it gramps put me down." I was hitting my fists into his back.

"Nope we need to talk alone dear." Ugh I hate when he did this. Seriously he is annoying as hell. "By the way nice language I should wash your mouth out with soap."

"Please your mouth is mouth is worse than mine. I still have that swear jar. Last time I counted it was near 10 grand in there. I think about 9 grand is just from you." I giggle when he swore under his breath again. "Now you owe me let's see 500 for the f word and …" He covered my mouth.

"Please like you biting will do anything." I spit on his hand and knew he hated that.

"Ugh seriously Bells spit." I giggled at his reaction. He took us into my garden knowing we would not have any ears listening to us. "I brought you here to talk and I think you know about what."

"Yes okay. Jasper I do know is my mate. I am also going to be living with Cullen's here shortly to have human experiences of high school. My parents suggested it and already talked to Carlisle about it. Let me guess you want to warn me about sex, boys, and mating claim right." I guessed right about that according to his reaction.

"How did you know? Are you psychic now?"

"No but Alice told me you would. Jasper and I are taking this slow. He will not do anything until I am ready. There are circumstances if I was close to death he will change me like anyone else would in this castle. The mating claim well that is one thing we had discussed. I know that the male vampire has the urge to bite his mate right away. We came up with an option he would buy me a necklace or something to show others I belong with him. Please understand my stand point even if he licks me his scent will be on me."

"Alright you two thought things out. When did you get wise beyond your years young lady?"

"Long ago and Uncle Marcus calls me an old soul. I guess I always did fit in since I was born." He started to tickle me. Jerk knew my weak spots. "Enough please before I pee right here on you." Yes!

"I want to give you something now that reminds you of your family." He pulled a charm bracelet with a few charms on it. "The horseshoe is me since I was a rancher before I was turned. The ruler is your biological mother since she was a teacher. The sheriff badge was your father since he was a police chief. The smiley is Char because she is always happy." We were interrupted by my father.

"Well I am here to explain the rest. Peter go find your wife please before she rearranges another room."

"Kiddo I really hope those are happy tears." I shook my head eyes and hugged him. He kissed my cheek and went in search of Char.

Father wiped my tears off. "Alright now for the next few charms I will explain them. The apple is your mother Dora since you are the apple of her eye. The diamond heart is from me since he captured my heart before you were even born. The paintbrush is your Uncle Aro since he taught you art. The shooting star is from your Aunt Pica for following your dream. The clouds are from your Uncle Marcus and Aunt Didy to show that you're always happy and reach for the clouds. The little people are from the guards in the birthstone they were born in. As you can tell the bigger ones are Jane and Alec. The jester hat is from Demetri since he has always made it a point to cheer you being silly. As for the rest Carlisle would like to tell." I threw myself at him and cried into his chest. "I hope you understand that we all love you and even though the Cullen's just met you they consider you family. Carlisle I leave you two alone and find Jasper to send him out here in about 20 minutes."

"Caius, thank you. Alright, now for our charms." He lifted a box that held the charms "I will start with my charm. I give you a doctor's bag since I am a doctor. The two represents Esme she would like to consider her a second mother. The shopping bag represents Alice. You will learn she loves to shop. The piano is from Edward since he likes music. The bear is Emmett and honestly is a big teddy bear. The rose is from Rosalie and honestly she said the rose is one of her favorite flowers. Now that I am done I want to ask you are you truly ready to leave here in a few weeks?"

"Yes I am and actually excited. I will always know my family here can come to visit and the same for me. I really need human experiences beyond Gianna."

"I would like to welcome you officially into our family. We all will enjoy you being there with us. I know Jasper is behind that door waiting. I will take my leave and go off to find Esme."

"Carlisle thank you so much this means a lot to me."

"You're quite welcome." I wiped my eyes once again. Jasper came in and pulled me into his lap.

"Well let's add that last charm to the bracelet." He grabbed something from his shirt pocket. "This is the state of Texas from where I was born and then turned into a vampire. I have one more thing for you. Let me sit you down so I can grab it from my pants pocket." He set me down and picked me up again to stay seated on his lap. "Lastly this is a promise ring to show you I will wait for you until you're ready. Will you allow me to wait for you until it is time darlin' Isabella?"

"A million times yes I will. Eight years seems so far away now to me. None the less you will be by my side until then. I can't believe I am moving with you guys back to the states."

"That you are but I won't be joining in school until you hit tenth grade. I will be starting then as Rosalie's younger brother. Emmett and Rose will be attending as juniors. Now that is cleared up I think we should feed you some lunch and maybe go out to the movies."

"Yes let's go I need to get out of here and start thanking people for the charms." He threw me on his back and ran into the kitchen with me giggling.

My new life, family, and friends will be starting here in a few weeks. First I still have to get through my 14th birthday here in three days.

A/N: This is going to be a long 3 shot. I stopped there and next chapter is her 14th birthday, her move to the Cullen's, and glimpses over the years.
