Royauté You may have heard of whispers on the wind, a conspicuous shadow ever hovering and the flash of death before darkness overtakes you fully. These stories you hear are not your average bedtime stories meant to scare your child to sleep, no these stories are real and so are we.
My story begins over 3000 years ago in the serene town of Volterra, Tuscany. This is where our coven was stationed, and where we reigned supreme away from the humans; but ever watchful as we blended in perfectly to the unsuspecting human eye. They saw us as glamorous and beautiful, not what we truly are at all. Our coven was made up, of a core coven you could say; the three founders or kings. Aro, (the leader of the three) Caius and Marcus; then there came the guard at that time the coven was only starting with 6 guard – now we have 32 gifted members. My twin and I were there 3000 years ago, when our empire was created and feared, it became a historical moment in our people's eyes.
It is said that the immortals cannot conceive but they were wrong. Our father and mother were immortal and among the highest ranks of the coven when we were born, some called us a curse and others called it a scandal. We were feared, my twin and I, for we were the most powerful of the coven at the beginning; and so, our mother hid us from the prying eyes of the enemy. The powers we possessed were beginning to show at the age of 5 to our father's delight. These powers were teleportation, mind-linking, and my brother also possessed the skill of telekinesis. At the ripe age of 23 we stopped growing and our powers magnified, we were taught to fight and use these powers to our advantage.
There was a time when our father let us do anything we wanted, but that time soon came to an end as he assigned us each with a guard. A guard that would be present with us each and every day, making sure that we learned etiquette and proper manners. My guard was a handsome fellow; 6ft 2 inches of pure muscle, with frosted blonde hair, beautiful red eyes and a face sculpted by the gods themselves. His name was Demetri. I was besotted with my guard, and his charming smile. Although, my brother was in no such mood for a guard, he got a young girl and let's just say she never saw the light of day again.
Yes, you may have figured that we are a very old fashioned family with servants, but what you didn't expect was a bunch of very normal, beautiful people being killers. Let me introduce myself, my name is Katerina Midnight Volturi and my twin brother, Kol Alexandr Volturi. We are the sole children of Caius and Athenodora Volturi. Niece and nephew to Aro and Marcus. The most powerful twins in the history of our culture : vampirism.
