Chapter 18-Answers

My door was never locked, I was free to wander, which I refused to do. No one bothered me. Marcus came to my room one night a week into my imprisonment. I was surprised to see him when I opened the door.

"Dinner" He said.

"I don't eat." I answered honestly and tried to shut the door. His hand stopped the door's momentum.

"Dinner" He said again. I knew then I didn't have a choice. I would either walk down under my own will or be dragged there. 

"Fine" I said, walking in front of him. He kept throwing side glances at me. It made me feel self conscious, something I hadn't felt since I was human. He seemed to be searching me. "Stop" I stated with out looking at him.  His eyes went forward. He opened the door for me we entered a high ceilinged room with a long table covered by a purple table cloth.

"Bella, so good to see you out and about" I didn't feel like playing Aro's game tonight. "Sit, sit." Marcus pulled out a chair for me I eyed him curiously and sat. 

"I don't need food or blood. Why am I here?" I said placing my hands onto the table.

"Just because your special doesn't mean you can't enjoy dinner." Aro said sitting himself at the head of the table. I didn't respond. "Bella do you know why you’re special?" Still not responding to his conversation I rubbed the table cloth. "Not only are you a la tua cantante to Edward, you also chose a path no one else has chosen. That is what make you unique." I looked up and my eyebrows rose.

"Carlisle chose to-" I said.

"He chose to live off animals." He said the last word as if it was ridiculous. "You knew everything that came along with being a vampire. Every horrific urge and what you would forfeit by becoming one of us. You still chose it, for Edward. That’s the point Bella, your choice. It was said no one would choose this life. You sitting here now proved that statement wrong."

"Gianna is choosing to be-" I started.
